thirty eight : plan

no one pov

taehyung sighed softly, along in his room. he sat at the edge of his bed, his knees to his chest, his arms wrapping around them, pulling himself into a ball. resting his head ontop of his knees. looking out to his kingdom, that stood in the distance.

he remembered the 'old times' the times when all he did was wish to be out in the world. all he wanted was to discover anything simple, beyond the gates of this palace.

before he met jungkook. 

before he had to deal with actually getting married- and not only dreading when that day would come.

before he found out his own brother had been hiding from him for years.

before he fell in love...

when he looked back, everything had been so simple. the life he had hated, the life he wished to escape from.. it all got both better and worse.

of course. now he had jungkook. which he couldnt believe was still real to be honest. the ravenette made the prince so happy. like he was flying above a sunset of clouds. like he was lifted out of the dreaded rain down bellow them..

but then he would remember everything else. and fall right back down into that dreaded pouring rain.

where it was cold. and dull. and down right depressing. he had to deal with his toxic homophobic parents. he had to deal with princess yeji- as lovely as a girl she was. he didnt want to marry here.

and now. on top of everything going down hill for the prince. he had to deal with the fact that his older brother. the person who he had thought was the most honest and trusting person to him, before jungkook.

now he had to deal with the fact that jimin was hiding from him.

this whole god damn castle was really just built on lies.

lies about taehyung being a lawful, straight, prince. lies about the king and queen being kind hearted people. lies about prince jimin being a crystal clear human being, unable for anyone to point out any of his flaws.

lies about how the rulers of this kingdom were generous and cared for their people. lies about the very people who were supposed to protect the kingdom, when all they did was 'guard' the royal family. any of the workers in the palace barely surviving as all their food went to the greediness of the king and queen.

lies.

it was all lies..

"prince taehyung?"

taehyung was snapped out of his daze when he heard a knock at his door. quickly looking over, the prince sat up straight. "come in." he said. soon seeing princess yeji sticking her head through the door.

"hi." she waved. taehyung sighed softly waving back. "hello." he greeted.

taehyung could see the slightly disappointed, and upset face on the princess. he would have asked what was wrong. but she beat him to it. 

"their majesties have asked for us to meet in the main hall."

yeji said, a soft sigh exiting her lipglossed lips. taehyung hummed softly. "i see... ok, im coming then." he said getting up and walking to his door.
