Mistress Kim

4. Silk ribbon

Taehyung sitting peacefully on the sand. His whole body feels sore for all the works he had done the whole day.
Today, the Euphoria Kingdom trope finally leaving. Its been tiring week tho. The staff need to mop all the corner of the palace spotlessly before the guest arrived.
And when the guest come, they basically need to double the work. Preparing all the necessity in the daylight, and clean up in the night time, the repeat again the next day.
Taehyung basically part of the cleaning staff, so yeah, he is kind of worn out.
The last supper just finish few hours ago and Taehyung just finish cleaning up, finally the three days event finished.
"And yet the prince need to extend his stay? Like for what ... duh ..." Taehyung pouting, while drawing small figure on the sand beside the strugling baby turtle.
Taehyung was super surprise the other night when he encounter the prince and being so careless he is. He curse himself for being ignorance and not noticing the prince from the begining. How can someone can be so dense?!
But to his defense, why would the prince wandering arround to the beach while the rest of the guest having great supper.
And then why does he run?! And throw away that heavy cloak? Like why he even did that?
And off course to make it worst, Taehyung somehow sense it, that the prince looking for him by wandering arround the palace. But boy is fast, and always manage to escape or hide everytime he spot the handsome prince. So its has been hide and seek these past two days.
Yah, a super handsome one. Taehyung remembering that stern face in front of him. Black hair matching the pair of dark orb. And the way he is laughing ...

"Yah Kim Taehyung! What was that you are thinking?!" Taehyung shout to himself! Shaking his head trying to throw away his delusional thought.

"Yes, what was that in you were thinking?" A sweet voice repeat from his back.
Taehyung quickly turn arround only to find the handsome prince whose just occupied his mind standing in front of him.

"Hello again Prince Kim Turtle Taehyung" a smirk pastered on Jungkook's face.
Taehyung quickly rise and bow his body 90 degree, greeting the prince.

"Go-good evening .. Prince Jungkook" Taehyung keep his head low, no dare to look up to the Royal family.

"Mnn ... should i call you Turtle , or Taehyung?" Jungkook walk closer to the flustered boy, cursing himself for introducing himself foolishly in their first encounter.

"Ugh ... you might call me anything as your wish Your Highnes.." Taehyung answer, heand still low.
"Hmm ... then ... should i call you mine?"
"What?" Taehyung surprised with the later proposal.
"What?" Jungkook rise his eyebrows playing dumb.
Taehyung taken a back with the later behaviour , before he realize that he is now staring Jungkook's eyes and quickly put his head down again.
Jungkook smirk. He dont know why but he is in fact so happy that he meet his pretty boy again.
"So Taehyung, i presume you are feeling cold tonight?"
"Ehm .... littel bit Your Highness" Taehyung answer, wrapping his blanket closer to his body.
"Remember that cloak i lend to you that you throw away in the ground?"
"Ye-yess Your Highness ... i - i am apologize Your Highness ... i - i didnt mind to throw it - i"
"But you did!" Jungkook snap and starled the later.
"You know, that cloak is one of mu formal Royal Cloak which made for special event. there are many ornamen attached in that piece of cloth. Gold string, ruby, diamond.. " Jungkook explain while walking closer to Taehyung, whose keep quite.
"And unfortunately, when u throw it away, one rare diamond was ......" Jungkook paused adding some drama. Taehyung start sweating in anticipation for the next news.
"... dissapear" Jungkook wishper.
"Oh My God!" Taehyung fall to his knees and automatically put his hands together in front of his chest, asking for forgiveness.
"Please please forgive me Yout Highness ... please .. please ... i didnt meant to throw it ..." Jungkook little bit taken back with the later reaction, but then quickly return to his role play.
"Well .. i can forgive you but surely you deserve some punishment"
"Ohhh .... please spare me Your Highness... please i still want to live..."
Jungkook want to laugh but he hold it.
"I will do anything Your Highness ... pleasee z.. ugh ..." a tear started roll down his pretty face and Jungkook think its enough of the joke.
"I will spare your life, but i will decide your punishment though" Jungkook said.
"Get up." He order. But the boy continue begging and sobbing.
"I said get up!" Jungkook said in higher tone and Taehyung quickly rise from his knees.
"I didnt decide yet what will be your punishment, but i cannot take the risk of you escaping right?"
"I will not Your Highness, i dont have anywhere to go ..." Taehyung wishper the last part but it doesnt go unnotice by the young prince.
"But still ... you might run away before i bring you to the King tomorrow ..."
"Please please ... forgive me ... please dont cut me Your highness ...." a small sob come back.
"I believe you will be more usefull without any cut." A smirk appear on Jungkook face as a briliany plan suddenly blooming on his head.
"Now follow me ..." Jungkook started walking away and after a while, he can sense Taehyung following him.
They return to the palace and past by some servant who looking wierdly at Taehyung following the prince with old blanket wrapping him. Meanwhile a small smile kept blooming on Jungkook's lips as his head working on his master plan.

The boy stops in Jungkook's room. The young prince opened the door and enter the room, while Taehyung deadpanned in front of the door, confused what should he do now.
"Come in" Jungkook ordered.
"Pardon?"
"Come.in.now"
"But ..." the brunette hesitating, wondering what should he do, calculating all the possible scenario waiting.
"Are you going to make me waiting all night after throwing away my Kingdom's precious diamond?"
Taehyung quickly step inside the room. The young prince smirk while closing the door and lock it.
Taehyung watching him in amused, questioning why would the Prince lock the door with him inside the room?
'He wont do dirty things right? I mean like ...' taehyung confusely following the boy who just pass through him.
Jungkook stop near his bed. He took the silk ribbon from the curtain.
"Hand" he ordered.
"Pardon??" Asked Taehyung confused.
Jungkook rolled his eyes and grab Taehyung wrist. The older boy starled and retreat his arm but Jungkook quickly hold it, and glare at Taehyung making the later submit.
Jungkook tie up Taehyung both wrist, not too thight to hurt the later but not too loose to keep the punishment impression.

"Your ... Your highness..."
"I dont have rope, so i will tied you with this!" Jungkook proceed with tying the other end of the ribbon in his left wrist, little bit struggle but he manage.

A smile plastered on his face now that Taehyung is tied up to him, although the other boy is just so confused. But anyway that confused face is too cute for Jungkook like.

Jungkook jump into the bed, and automatically Taehyung was stumble into the edge of the bed since the ribbon didnt that long.

"Ughh ... sorry, i forgot you are tied up to me. Come." Jungkook said, patting the space beside him, ordering Taehyung to get to the bed.

"No ... i cannot Your Highness ... I-"
"Taehyung, i am really tired and i want to sleep right now. So you better get on the bed now or i will smack your pretty head!"

Taehyung quickly get into the bed. Sitting in most polite posture and in the most fartest distance from the other boy.

"Lay down!"

"Prince Jungkook, please forgive me, i will do anything but please dont make me-"
"Make you what? I just dont want you runaway again, dont think too much"
"But-but - i cannot sleep in Yourhighness bed ....i-"
Taehyung stumble to Jungkook when the later boy suddenly pull the ribbon.
"Shut up and sleep!" Jungkook whisper shout to Taehyung whose currently lyinh dangerousely to him.
The older boy quickly back away and keep the possible distance from the young prince.
Taehyung laying on his side fasing Jungkook whose also facing him. A silk ribbon strech out between the two.
"Dont you dare to try to escape while i am sleeping or i will hunt you down and boy you dont want to imagine what will do once i capture you. Understood??" Jungkook use his low voice and threatening the already terified boy to make sure that he wont escape.
The later nodded quickly.
