It has been quite a few hours since Jungkook and Taehyung have had their lunch together. It was short, sweet and silent. Nonetheless, King Taehyung enjoyed it a lot and it was safe to say, he was definitely looking forward to more meals with Prince Jungkook.

Jungkook on the other hand, did not seem to find the presence of Taehyung very interesting. Not because he was uncomfortable, irritated nor annoyed. He hated how bothered and self concious he started to get whenever he seemed to be with the particular King.

To the point where it genuinely started getting annoying.

"I'm not going there anymore" Jungkook said while laying on his bed with his legs entangled with each other with a book in his hands, which he seemed to be reading.

Hyunsook furrowed his eyebrows, at the whinning tone of his son, and spoke up, "Why not? Weren't you pretty excited to go-"

Jungkook abruptly got up, tossed the book away and yelled hastilly while glaring at his father, "N-no! I wasn't excited!"

"Sure" King Jeon smirked.

"Did you have your lunch, son?" Hyunsook asked, suddenly remembering he was yet to have it, and would might as well have his son join in. However,

"Yeah." a reply he did not expect came casually out of his son, "had it with Hyung earlier." he replied whilst pulling the book he'd been reading earlier, and diving back into it again.

"Hyung huh?" King Jeon smirked again.

Jungkook suddenly realised his slip-of-tongue, panicking, he quickly raised his head to deny- when he was met with his father's face smirking down at him in knowing, "Taehyung! Ki-king Taehyung i mean!"

He had become so used to calling Taehyung informally at lunch that he completely did not notice the honorific rolling out of his tongue unconciously, which he regretted ofcourse, or maybe he did not.

Hyunsook laughed heartily at his son's unsual panicked state, and went to give a pat to him on his head, and exited his son's room.

Taehyung surely wasn't supposed to feel this affected just for a simple lunch. And he was definetely not supposed to look forward to more meals, that too as fast as possible.

However, he had more important works to attend to, and complete. Hence why he finally decided to push his seemingly never-ending thoughts and finally decided to get everything over with.

Taehyung has bumped into Jungkook coincidentally for more than usual times now. Day before yesterday afternoon, yesterday morning, then evening and today morning again!

Not that Taehyung was keeping a track, no absolutely not. He just happened to have an extreme good memory, yeah that was exactly what it was.

It has been a span of total 3 days since the King of Eutopia has come over as a guest in their palace. It was quite the experience, having dinner with his sister, King Jeon and Prince Jungkook together every night after a tiresome day gave King Taehyung a sense of warmth he had not experienced for a very long time.

Perhaps it was having a fatherly figure, although not as gentle and as caring, yet something almost close to it, was new to Taehyung. And he, quite frankly wasn't really regretting the stay of the King anymore.

Myabe he was just overreacting earlier. He thought.

In the midst of all the talking, laughter and joyous smiles, King Taehyung seemed to have made eye contact with the Prince which lasted not more than a milisecond.

Oh, and Taehyung had discovered his new favourite thing to watch recently. The way the prince reacted to everything. When King Jeon asks him any questions, he seems to think for a moment before replying wittily, or the times when he gets flustered when Princess Jieun asks him about himself oh and the best one, when Taehyung speaks to Jungkook, anything at all. The King finds Jungkook's reactions satisfying and wholesome.

And Taehyung would have missed the reaction on the Prince's face, as a result of the mini-eye contact, if not for Taehyung being extremely observent. And well, Taehyung was a greedy man, he wanted to see that again.

"Eat up, Prince Jungkook. Please don't feel shy at all!" Jieun smiled cheekily at Jungkook, while forwarding a bowl towards him.

Taehyung knew what Jieun was trying to do. She was trying to tease him. Actually, when does she even not try to do that.

Taehyung mentally rolled his eyes.

______________

"The fire between you two is so much visible oh my god."

Not a very special evening, just Jieun teasing Taehyung again.

"What fire." Taehyung visibly rolled his eyes.

"Hawt Fiyerh-" Jieun exaggerated with a laugh.

"Do you want me to leave this room?" Taehyung glared at his sister.

Jieun smirked, "And pass infront of Jungkook's room a hundred times to coincidentally bump into him?"

"Kim fucking Jie-un!" he was mortified that his sister had caught him doing such a silly action. He thought he was going to carry this secret to his grave, but it seems not anymore.

Jieun only laughed as a reply.

"Uh- am I interrupting something?"

Taehyung and Jieun snapped their heads to the door and the sight made Taehyung's eyeballs pop off from his eyes and fall on the floor.

Prince Jungkook was peeping inside the room with visible red patches on both his cheeks.
