𝑾𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑶𝑾 (Taejin)

Part 12

Hello, long time updating this one, so I apologise for that.

To maintain the flow of the story, you all can read the previous chapter once more, if you want.

Love you all 💜

.....

Seokjin could only stare at the prince, words stuck somewhere in his throat while his hands were stuck on the spoon, which he quickly moves.

Wasn't he supposed to enjoy his meal?

This was his first time eating anything as close to good food since ages and he hadn't even eaten properly. Was he not supposed to take so many servings? Perhaps, he looked too greedy.

Taehyung is still staring at him, waiting for a response which Seokjin isn't sure whether to give or not. The prince seems to be the kind who will find something wrong even in him saying something.

Thankfully, Nayeon breaks the silence by getting up. "My prince, it is Seokjin's meal time as is everyone else's. Is there something bothering you?"

The prince turns to look at the calmly speaking lady. "Oh yes, something is bothering me. Isn't this Seokjin guy... supposed to be my personal caretaker?"

Seokjin unconsciously nods, though he wasn't sure who the question was directed at. All he knew is that whatever he did next, will be judged by the prince so it's better to stay quiet. He should learn to stay on the quiet side to prevent complications.

"Yes, he is your personal caretaker, my prince". Nayeon utters.

Taehyung's sharp, dark eyes fall on Seokjin who can only stare in return. The prince's face is devoid of any emotion yet even a simple word from him holds so much power. "Yet, I didn't even get my dinner on time. Am I supposed to go without eating tonight or shall I personally come and ask my caretaker to bring food to me?"

Seokjin blinks.

Was he supposed to bring the prince his dinner tonight?

No one had informed him this. However, it only seemed right that he would have the duty to make sure the prince had his dinner.

Should he apologise?

Nayeon replies yet again before Seokjin can say anything and the boy really thinks Nayeon is his saviour in human form.

"Seokjin, though being given the duty to bring you dinner, doesn't start work until tomorrow morning. So he didn't know anything about bringing you food. I apologise for the inconvenience, my prince, I shall ask someone to bring-".

"Someone? Why not Seokjin himself?" Taehyung questions, while leaning slightly against a nearby wooden table.

".... because, as I mentioned, he doesn't start work until tomorrow". Nayeon sighs.

Seokjin believes he should say something but here is a conversation going on about him and he isn't yet sure on what to say without getting glared at by the prince.

"So...you are saying that because he starts work from tomorrow...if something happens to me tonight, he won't be held accountable for being my personal caretaker yet doing nothing?"

The prince was stretching this far too much now.

"My prince, let's not argue further about this. There are many chores still left to do and I am also sure, that you wouldn't like your dinner to be delayed more. I will send someone up to bring your dinner, after which you can go for your nightly study. I assure you that Seokjin will bring you dinner every night from tomorrow". The head, Nayeon, says while motioning towards a nearby girl to start arranging the dinner.
