By the time Jungkook took in the position they were in, he realised he was being backhugged by Taehyung. He was too shocked to comprehend the elder's next move.

He started tickling the younger.

Jungkook was the most ticklish person ever and when the strong arms of the King were tickling his sides vigorously, he couldn't stop his giggles. The elder's fingers wiggled at this sides, which led to Jungkook's wheezes to intensify. After a good amount of time of the elder tickling the younger to his heart's content, and Jungkook laughing, giggling and trying to catch his breathe, Taehyung finally detattched himself from the prince.

Jungkook wheezed, clutching his stomache and gasping for air. On moving from the back of the prince to the front again, Taehyung could see the younger's completely red face, glossy eyes and disehelved state. The tickling messed up with his unifrom too. Despite the younger's messy state, Taehyung found him adorable.

The younger had his hands still holding onto his stomache, as an impact of the intense laughs, "You're so ticklish Prince Jungkook" Taehyung teased.

Jungkook huffed, "As if you're not" he mumbled to himself in hopes of the elder not hearing it. But to his dismay, he did.

"Hm? I'm not though"

Jungkook widened his eyes, not believing the other, "Bullshit"

Taehyung raised an eyebrow, and Jungkook realised how informally he was talking to the King, "I-I'm sorry Your Maj-"

"Hey, it's fine I prefer it that way" Taehyung grinned, "and really, I'm not ticklish" he raised his arms as if asking for the Prince to try and find out for himself, and so Jungkook did.

He went forward and wiggled his fingers at all the possibly ticklish places, but he was dissapointed when he did not get the expected reaction from the elder.

He moved back and furrowed his eyebrows, The King really wasn't ticklish.

Jungkook huffed again as if accepting defeat, how in the world is someone not ticklish, he could not understand.

"Anyways, I'm really sorry for what I did earlier," Jungkook bowed slightly, "I really didn't mean to." he apologied.

"You didn't mean to what? Laugh at me?" Taehyung grumbled, pretending to be upset.

Jungkook's face flushed, embarassed that he had lost his calm and technically made fun of the King. He was ashamed of himself, how could he step out of his morals so terribly?

Jungkook was an expressive person, and if watched carefully one could easily read by his face what was going on inside his head. Similarly when Taehyung gazed at the other's face intently, which he found himself doing quite often, he found the looks of guilt and regret flowing through the younger's face.

"Hey, I was just kidding, it's okay." he quickly reassured, "Infact like I said earlier, I prefer to stay on more comfortable terms, Jungkook." he said with a smile that one could make out from the elder's voice itself. "I'm no better than Jieun on these formal matters myself." he chuckled.

Recalling what Jieun had said earlier about her being bad with 'formal shit', Jungkook smiled too.

The Prince nodded to Taehyung's words, agreeing. He thought so too, he would love to talk informally to the King.

"Uhh...now if you excuse me, I really need to get ready" Taehyung said, "No one would like to see their King entering the breakfast hall in pyjamas, first thing in the morning right?" he shook his head at himself.

Jungkook grinned and shrugged, "I suppose not."

Breakfast was as good as every other day, not just the food but the overall atmosphere surrounding them too. That was, until Jieun decided to speak, "So what did you both end up doing yesterday?" she enthusiastically asked.

"Uh, his highness gave me a tour of the garden."

"You did?" Jieun nudged Taehyung's shoulders, not very gently.

Taehyung only glared, ofcourse, "yeah"

"So what are you both doing today?" She asked further, not wanting to dismiss the topic just yet.

Taehyung was about to tell Jieun to shut up, but Jungkook beat him to it, "His majesty must have a lot of work, so I was just planning on keeping him company for today.." he trailed off in a hesistant tone, with a chuckle in the end.

Taehyung only nodded, not knowing how to respond to the younger in any other way.

Staying in the same room as the King, was suffocating Jungkook to no end.

The room was not small by any means, nor conjusted but just the mere presence of the King in the same room as his was making it difficulting for Jungkook to stay calm.

It was dead cold outside, but all Jungkook could feel was heat.

Hot, warm, very hot was all the Prince could think of.

Usually during winter mornings, Jungkook felt his hands and fingers go numb from the cold but here he was, hands numb, except for a completely different reason.

Jungkook noticed Taehyung did not seem to be affected much but that was probably because he had shit load of work at hand that he was supposed to complete. And Jungkook knew, he was the only one making things awkward, and taking it awkwardly too.

But Taehyung could very well feel the tense atmosphere surrounding them. The tension around them was so thick, that Taehyung thought it could be cut with a goddamn knife.

So, he decided to break through it and loosen up from the tight suffocation, and since he was done with his work anyway, or he may have a little more work to complete but that can be done later. He looked up from the files and documents towards Jungkook, "I'm done with the paperwork." Taehyung said.

"That was fast!" Jungkook exclaimed, the last day he had come here Taehyung had worked way more and even after their lunch, he could have sworn he saw the King going back to his cabin, which he could guess, to complete his unfinished work. But Jungkook was too flustered from their lunch to give company to the King any longer which is why he decided to go back to his room.

But today, much to Jungkook's surprise, he was done early.

"We could go pick up from where we left yesterday night." Taehyung suggested though a little flustered for how his statement came out, "I don't really have any plans for today anyways" he shrugged.

"I'd love to!" Jungkook replied with a cheeky smile. Taehyung nodded and subtly admired the younger's smile, both at the same time. When the Prince asked if he could go get changed, the elder replied with a 'sure' and Jungkook hurried back to his room, not wanting to make the King wait for too long.

They couldn't wait to feel yesterday's emotions again.
