THE CONCUBINE || TAEKOOK ||

TWENTY EIGHT

"Grandma!  .......Where are you?" Taehyung shouted as he entered his house, "I'm here, Tae!" He heard his grandma voice from the backyard and made his way there hurriedly with a big smile on his face.

"Grandma!" Calling her once again, Taehyung hugged his grandmother. In which she chuckled and embraced the little boy back. "What happened? You look so happy."

"Grandma........Grandma......Grandma!"  Taehyung was gasping as he sat down with tears that soiled his cheeks as his grip on the sheets tightened. Recalling the dream, he sobbed while hiding his face in his hands.

After a while, he felt better and looked outside the window, seeing the snow covering most things. He sighed and wiped his cheeks stained with tears while walking toward the bathroom.

After doing his morning routine, at last, he looked at the mirror and could see the faint marks on his cheeks. It's been a month, and nobody heard anything from Jungkook. Even the king knew nothing. Everybody missed the handsome prince. The king did, send his messenger and some soldiers to Min clan for Jungkook in case if something happened there.

When the messenger returned back. He said that the Prince is doing well and he will return safely back, but didn't tell anyone when?

Taehyung sighed once again and left his room. While walking through the hallways of the palace, he noticed that everyone was in a hurry. Running here, there are some with baskets full of fruits or some with flowers.

Taehyung raised his eyebrows and went into the kitchen. Opening the door, He watched his Hyung instruct the maids. He silently made his way towards him, "Hyung, what is happening, and what are the preparations for?

Jin looked at Taehyung with a confused face, "You don't know?" Taehyung only shook his head and mumbled, "No..."

"Well, a lady will be staying here a few weeks and is arriving today."

"Oh.....but why?" Taehyung asked further, hoping Jin would know about this. "I don't know."

"I understand. Okay then, I will go help others." Taehyung waves at Jin and left the kitchen. He decided to meet Jimin.

As he turned the corner, but seeing Woosan and adviser talking to each other, he immediately went back, not wanting to face them. He remembered the incident where Woosan almost raped him, and sir Lee, who was standing outside, didn't help him either. He felt goosebumps on his skin.

"Hey, you! What are you doing standing there. Come help us." One of the maid yelled at Taehyung, who nodded his head and picked the bucket and broom from the corner.

He had finished cleaning the halls and was about to walk away to the dining room. He was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. He flinched and turned around abruptly, startling the man.

"What happened?" Mr. Lee asked while eyeing Taehyung with suspicious eyes. "No, sir, I-" Taehyung hesitated to talk, but Mr. Lee only rolled his eyes.

"I don't have time for you. Come with me!" Mr. Lee ordered while turning around and starting to walk ahead. Taehyung took a deep breath and began to follow him.

They both stopped in front of the king's room. Taehyung stared at Mr. Lee, with slight hesitation and bit his lips, broom clenched in his hands. What will happen to me? Thousands of thoughts were running through his mind as he didn't notice Mr. Lee already went inside and waited for him to enter.
