Questioning gaze were throw to Taehyung from the maids and guards when they saw the ruthless king carrying a cute petite child in his arms.

In addition, the boy was sleeping peacefully in Taehyung's embrace.

Which is more amusing cause no one else can stay peaceful but not terrified when the king is around.

The maids and guards quickly bowed, tugging their head down when they felt the cold piercing glare of the king.

Taehyung just rolled his eyes at their pathetic gesture. He stood in front of his bedroom and the guards swiftly opened the door for him.

He walked inside his room, sighing loudly. His lips twitched up when he saw Jungkook snoring cutely, air puffed in and out of his cherry red mouth. Approaching his bed, he placed the boy down in the middle of the king sized bed, covering his mate with thick duvet.

"C-Comfy..." Taehyung chuckled a little when he heard the boy muttering softly in his sleep. He grabbed more pillows, placing them around Jungkook, wanting to make his mate more comfortable.

"What should I do?" Taehyung asked to basically no one but himself, "I shouldn't be so soft hearted. I should've left you alone there in the ballroom but why did I take you here? I said I would reject my mate but why? Why did I feel myself already falling for you even you're just a little baby?"

He played with the slightly curly hair of Jungkook, "My mate... My pup..." He declared, a hint of darkness appeared in his eyes, "I will have you all for myself."

-------------------------------------------------

"Taehyung took a boy to his bedroom?"

"Yes your highness. Every guards and maids saw it. His great majesty even carried the boy!"

Yeonseo frowned when she heard her maid's statement. She stood up, worry filled in her heart, "Let's go and check on the boy. Gosh, who knows what would my crazy brother do to that innocent soul!"

She walked fastly, with her maid and guard following her. She straightly stormed inside Taehyung's bedroom. Her maid and guard stayed outside of the room as no one can enter the king's bedroom except Yeonseo and the king himself.

"Tae-" Yeonseo stopped, mouth gaped open when she saw the sight in front of her. Her heart melted instantly when she saw a soft looking boy lied in the middle of the bed, pillows all around his small frame and thick duvet covered his whole frame except his head and face. The dull colour of the room and scary aura makes the pretty boy literally glowing.

She approached the boy, placed her hand on his hair as she caressed them.

"What are you doing here, little boy?" She asked even knowing the boy can't hear her words, "I need to get you out of here. Taehyung will surely kills you."

Yeonseo stated, trying to stop herself think bad of her brother but she can't. Her brother is nothing but evil. She wrapped her arms around Jungkook and picked the boy up.

"What are you doing noona?!"

Yeonseo almost dropped the boy back to the bed when she heard Taehyung's loud terrifying voice echoed around the room. The little boy in her arms visibly moved, whining a little.

She raised her head up, meeting the piercing eyes of Taehyung. "I'm saving the boy."

"Save what?! I'll take care of him! Give him back to me!" Taehyung growled, using his alpha voice.

"You clearly know your alpha voice doesn't have any effect on me, Tae." Yeonseo spatted angrily, "You can kill anyone you want but not this boy-" "I won't kill him noona! How can I kill my own mate?!"

"M-Mate?" Yeonseo asked in disbelief, "This little baby who's merely six is your mate?"

Taehyung crossed his arms, rolling his eyes, "Hell yes, noona!"

"Seriously?! Damn that age gap and the height gap!" She gasped, "So you'll become a pedophile?!"

"Fucking give me back my mate before I-" "Before you what, rascal?!" Yeonseo interrupted Taehyung's sentence, smirking in victory when the king went speechless.

She stifled a small laugh when she saw Taehyung glaring at her, "Alright alright, don't give me that face." She carefully passed the boy to Taehyung and the king took the boy in his arms.

Jungkook whined again, rubbing his cheeks against Taehyung's clothed chest cutely. Taehyung smiled at the boy's cute action, hand made way to Jungkook's hair as he caressed them softly.

Yeonseo stared at the king, lips curved up forming a small smile, "I thought you said you would reject your mate?"

"Not this one, noona. He's perfect." Taehyung muttered.

"I know. I can see it." Yeonseo joked, "But you need to send him back home. You know the rules right?"

Taehyung visibly froze. Clenching his jaw, he mumbled, "I'm not going to send him back to the orphanage. Screw the rules, noona."

"Orphanage? He doesn't have parents?" She asked, earned a nod from the king. "I'm not joking now, Tae. You can go against every rule but not this one. You have anger issue and your possessive instinct didn't help this situation at all. You might mark him out of sudden. You know you can't mark your mate before he reached 18 right? He'll die, Tae if you did mark him before he's 18."

"But I want him." Taehyung stated, like a toddler declaring his own needs.

"You can have him after he reached 18. Now send him back before he wakes up. You can talk with the dean of the orphanage and tell them to send your mate back to here once he reached 18." She explained.

"But he's not safe there."

"Taehyung, he's still a child. He needs a beautiful, perfect childhood, not getting guarded by you! I know you'll surely lock him up in the palace in the future. So please, right now at least let him taste the fun of freedom." Yeonseo tried to convince her stubborn brother, smiling in relief when Taehyung replied her a small 'fine'.

"Great. Now let's send him back before he awakes!"
