The Crown Prince (Taegi AU)

Chapter 43

Taehyung couldn't help but snicker as he looked at Yoongi dancing. 

The crown prince immediately stopped and frowned as he whined, "You're laughing!" 

The man finally lost it completely as he no longer had the strength to hold his laughter in. He fell back on his seat with his hands grabbing his stomach that had started to ache now. 

Yoongi pouted and stood there with his arms folded. The veil on his face was no longer there and hence, all his facial expressions were clearly visible under the warm sunlight that hit the balcony. His pale skin seemed to be gleaming under the light with his lips pursed together in a thin line while his eyes were glaring at Taehyung. 

"This is why I said I'm not good at dancing!" Yoongi added while trying to defend himself. 

Taehyung immediately waved his right hand as he refuted this, "That's not it! That's not it!" He tried to calm his breathing as he looked at the crown prince and spoke in between his laughter, "It's just too cute! Bahahaha~" He cackled again and this time, his body completely fell down and he started rolling on the floor with his hands strongly clutching his abdomen.

Yoongi walked up to Taehyung and crouched down as he asked with a smile that didn't quite reach his ears, "You think I'm cute?" 

Taehyung stopped laughing for a second as he looked at Yoongi's face that seemed to be kinda offended. His silence didn't last for more than a few seconds as he continued to chuckle when he replied, "Aren't you? Your highness is definitely cute!" 

Yoongi's smile widened as he heard this but it seemed to lack joy. He nodded and in the next second, he pinned Taehyung to the ground with his legs trapping the man's body and his hands caging the man's head from moving. 

Taehyung was taken by surprise and this surprise caused him to immediately stop laughing. 

Yoongi smiled again and this time his smile looked to be a bit mischievous as he repeated his question, "Do you still think I'm cute?" 

Taehyung gulped and refused to answer. He was too stunned to give a straight response. His eyes were wide open as he looked deeply into Yoongi's playful ones. For a second, he felt himself getting lost in those two dark orbs of black that had him enchanted ever since he first saw them through the veil. 

Yoongi's lips curled up in a smirk as he saw this speechless reaction from Taehyung. It could clearly be sensed that the crown prince was somehow proud of himself at this moment. 

Taehyung smiled brightly as he grabbed Yoongi's cheeks carelessly and squished them together, making Yoongi's lips pucker out, "If this ain't cute, I don't know what is!" 

Yoongi squinted as he looked at Taehyung who was thoroughly teasing him at this moment. The crown prince immediately lifted his right hand and took a hold of Taehyung's wrists. He pushed them back and pinned Taehyung down to the floor as he questioned with a small smirk, "Still cute?" 

Taehyung shut his mouth once again and smiled thinly as he questioned back, "Is your highness trying to prove something here?" 

Yoongi chuckled softly as he asked, "What do you think?" 

Taehyung smiled as he lifted his legs and wrapped them around Yoongi's torso, surprising the crown prince who looked down with a bit of shock apparent on his face. 

"Your highness, I have a question to ask." 

Yoongi gulped as he met his eyes, "What question?" 

"Why'd you let her go?" Taehyung questioned with a serious expression. 

Yoongi's pupils contracted as he heard this. He sighed, "What a way to ruin the mood."
