It was time for his fitting with Jimin for the masquerade ball. Taehyung quickly put on a turtleneck sweater not having enough time to hide the small lovebites littered all over his neck. 

Jimin was already standing on a round platform getting measured for his suit by the multiple tailors hired by the Kims. Taehyung waved at Jimin while Jimin just smiled unable to move with the measuring tapes all over him. 

"You're late by ten minutes, hanging out with Prince Jeongguk made time fly by?"

 Taehyung blushed as he fiddled with his sweater paws, nodding shyly. 

Jimin chuckled. He knew his best friend too well, it was obvious that Taehyung was growing some sort of feelings towards the Jeon Prince. The way his eyes sparkled and how he always tried to talk to Prince Jeongguk even if the latter shut his advances down many times before shows how his best friend has feelings for the younger. 

"Jimin-ah I have to tell you something..." 

Jimin noticed how nervous his friend was. They were still in the fitting room where numerous tailors were and Taehyung revealing whatever he had in mind is equivalent to tell the tailors who were all ears though they may not show it. 

"Tae, tell me later alright?" Jimin reassured, from where he was. 

Quickly deciding to change the topic Taehyung asked, "What colour scheme are you going with for your suit and mask?" 

"I'm going with pastel colours. Have you thought about your colours?" 

Taehyung sighed, he wanted his suit to be really unique. 

"Jiminie do you know the colours the others are going with?" 

"Jin and Namjoon hyung are going with a royal blue theme, your mother and father are going with a gold theme, Yoongi is wearing black, Hoseok is going with a neutral theme. The Jeon King and Queen are wearing pastel purple and whites. However, I don't know about your prince though..." Jimin smirked. 

"Yah Jiminie he isn't my prince!" 

"Oh, that's all you got from the long list of information I told you hmm?" 

 "Just...Just...Shutup!" Taehyung glared cutely crossing his arms as Jimin cooed at his cute best friend. 

Around two hours had passed and Taehyung had finally finished his fitting and he decided on a neutral colour scheme, going for a plain but elegant vibe. As they were walking down the hallway, Namjoon and Jin were leaving their rooms in a rush. 

Taehyung quickly grabbed Jimin and hid behind the pillar. Jimin was confused as he was about to open his mouth, Taehyung quickly clamped his palm on Jimin mouth and signalled him to look to the right. 

"Be quiet, I'll explain everything later," Taehyung whispered. 

Jimin and Taehyung peeked out from behind the pillar watching how their hyungs looked happy but rushed at the same time. 

"We have to leave before Taehyung and Jimin come, you know their fitting is ending around now!" 

"Jinnie I'm doing the best I can. Okay finally! I got it, let's go they are waiting out front!" Namjoon grabbed the duffel bag with one hand and Jin's hand with the other before running down the halls out of sight. 

Taehyung released Jimin from his hold as both of them came out of their hiding spot. 

"Okay, what was that?" Jimin questioned. 

He had no idea what was going and his hyungs were acting so suspiciously. Both of them had made it to Taehyung's room and Jimin bombarded his best friend with all the questions he had. 

"I have no idea what is going but Jin and Namjoon hyung have been acting strangely for the past week. They have been leaving to god knows where and coming two days later! Now we know that they are intentionally hiding it from us!" Taehyung huffed. 

He had none of the answers to Jimin's questions. Both of them were equally clueless about what was going on. 

"Tae, what's this?" Jimin asked holding up an envelope with his name written in the same beautiful cursive font. Taehyung's eyes widened, it was another letter addressed to him. 

"The most beautiful part is, I wasn't even looking when I found you. Await my package, my blue-eyed prince." Jimin read out loud smirking. 

"Ooh, looks like Taehyung got a secret admirer!" Jimin teased as he shook the letter in front of Taehyung's face. 

"This is what I wanted to talk about!" 

Jimin and Taehyung settled on the bed as Taehyung explained everything. From the child in his dreams to the mystery letters he had been getting, to the song Queen Ophelia had written, he told everything. 

Jimin listened patiently but his heart sunk slightly when he heard Yoongi might be the one sending the letters for some odd reason. Actually, there was nothing odd about it, he had grown to fancy the Jeon royal guard through their interactions in the past few days. Shaking his thoughts away he focused on Taehyung. 

"I know you have a crush on Prince Jeongguk but what will you do if he isn't the one sending you the letters?" 

"I don't know. I like Jeongguk but I also like the letters and I don't know what to do about my dreams. All this is so frustrating!" 

Taehyung felt like he wanted to pull all of his hair out.
