I crossed the sea, Just for you

Part 10

"Taehyung?" you looked for him but there was no sign of him. You squint your eyes to look properly, he was standing in between the rock and waterfall. There was a small gap, he moved inside.

"Is he catching breath in there? Or is he playing pranks?" you thought to yourself. You tried calling from a distance. He didn't budge. "Does he thinks that I can't see him through that?" you chuckled.

You decided to play along. You carefully went near trying not to get wet. "What are you doing? I can see you. Come out", you called him. "I am stuck", he said. "Don't play pranks.

There is nothing to get stuck on '', you replied. "I am trying to move but I am scared because my foot got into this hole here and I need help", he said. You rolled your eyes.

There were some holes like that but why is he fussing about it now and not before. You shook your head as you had no choice but to go and get drenched.

"You made up your mind to get me drenched. Can I escape?" you sighed. You went in and he was stuck. You giggled at the sight. You held him carefully. You bent down and carefully pulled his leg out.

He hissed a little. "Hold me well and take out your feet", you said. Finally, the battle with rock got over. "Why didn't you answer me immediately?" you asked, leaning against the rock while the water was falling in front of you.

"I thought of pranking you but ended up like this", he said, embarrassed. You laughed out loud. "If you are done playing, let's go out of here", you said.

"Wait! You didn't get wet well", he pushed you towards the water. "I am already drenched enough, thanks to you", you said. "It's okay, the pressure when the water hits your head is truly relaxing", he stood with you, under the falling water.

The pressure of the water had a relaxing effect on your body. You giggled and enjoyed the moment with him. After some time, both of you walked towards an open public hall which was mainly for the royal resting area or a place to have fun or music and dance.

It was daytime so it was empty. He took off his shirt to dry it. "I don't even know if I will ever get dry", you said. He smiled at you. "Don't smile. It's because of you", you pouted. "Today is pretty sunny. So you will get dried soon", he said.

"I hope so. Thankfully, there is no ceremony today", you said. He sat by a pillar and watched the river that was flowing by. You sat by his side. "What are you thinking?" you asked him.

"Nothing in particular", he smiled. He was in deep thoughts. He kept thinking about how to make this relationship successful. You wanted to spend quality time with him.

Deep down you were preparing for the worst. You flapped your wet veil on his face. The small droplets of water splashed on his face. "Hey", he giggled. You kept flapping your veil, playfully.

"Y/n, Stop", he tried to stop you. "This is not going to work", he grabbed your hands and pushed you back. Your back hit the floor while he supported your head. "Was it fun playing like that?" he asked, coming near to your face.

You gulped at his actions. He saw your wet hair spread over the floor and the saree stuck with your body showing your outline. "I wanted to ask you, were you not even affected when I removed my shirt?" he asked you.

"A lot of men are shirtless here while working. We are used to it", you said, teasing him. "Even now?" he came a little closer to your face, lips almost touching. You closed your eyes and he closed the distance.

Your lips molded against his lips. This was your first proper kiss. He placed his palm on your bare waist, slightly squishing it. You moaned in response.

He trailed his wet lips towards your neck. He placed soft kisses. He was conscious enough not to give you a hickey. He stopped before it could go further. You were blushing like a tomato.

"I want to fulfill all the burning desire right here but I want it to be meaningful. I know you won't accept before our marriage as well", he said. You nodded. He placed a soft kiss on your forehead. He lied beside you. You placed your head on his chest.

"Are you not scared of people? What if someone comes in without a warning", he asked. "I am very much positive about that. No one will come here before evening", you said.

"I love you y/n. I love you so much", he said. "I love you too", you said. You turned to place your cheek pressed against his chest and placed your hands on his body, slightly hugging.

He securely wrapped his hand around you. After a while, he slept. You noticed that and you got off him without disturbing his sleep.

You walked around in the sun to get your outfit dry. After some time, you sat beside him. You combed his hair with your fingers. "We will make it, right?" you whispered.

Unknowingly, a drop of tear escaped from your eyes. You quickly wiped it off. After a good nap, he woke up. You peppered his face with kisses. "Shall we go?" you asked him. He nodded.

"Wait! Before that let me get something", he said. "What is it?" He pulled you into a kiss. You smiled and gave in. "I just can't get over this. You are like a drug", he commented.

You shyly smiled. He lifted your chin. "Don't be shy around me", he said. "How can I not be?" you whined. He hugged you tightly. Both of you stayed and felt the warmth in each other's embrace.

You were going with him back to the palace. "What's with Aadhi? I mean he looks normal but he doesn't like me I guess", he said. You chuckled a bit. It's a long short story.

You explained what happened. "So, Madhi is in love with him but he has eyes on you", he sighed. "What's more problematic is the change of relationship once he gets married to either of us.

If he marries Madhi, his relationship with me will be brother and vice versa", you explained to him. "Did you have a crush on him for a long time?" he asked you.

You shook your head. "We were all just kids but I just thought of annoying Madhi and it ended up like this. I never had a serious crush on him", you sighed.

"I thought that he would be attracted to her but it got complicated", you said. "Who wouldn't be attracted to you?" he asked. You smiled. "Except him, no one did. It was always her because she is the Princess of this capital", you said.

He stopped in his tracks. "I am happy that you were single when I came here. You are more beautiful than anyone else here", he said.

"You know what, if everything went according to the plan, you would have been attending my wedding with the Crown Prince", you chuckled. "What?" "Thankfully, the stars saved me for you", you smiled.

He nodded, pulling you into a comforting hug. "We are hugging a lot today", you said. "I want to hug you like this all my life", he said. "We will", you smiled. "Will we?" you whispered.
