Baby Mate [Taekook] ✓

Chapter 11

"Yeonie noona, I don't have any clothes..."

"Oh about that..." Yeonseo stood up from the bed, walked towards Taehyung's walk in wardrobe, gestured Jungkook to follow her, "Come here, baby kookie."

Jungkook walked with Yeonseo, watching the woman grabbed a few fancy kimono and hanbok from the hanger, "Taehyung specifically ordered these hanbok for you. It got special design and made by the finest cloth. Do you like it?"

Jungkook's eyes went straight opened and sparkled when he saw those hanbok were literally shining. Small but shiny jewelries were pierced against the clothes of hanbok and it suits Jungkook's liking so much.

He nodded his head hardly, hands unconsciously reached out to touch the hanbok.

"Then it's all yours now. Taehyung ordered many hanbok for you. You can check it later. Now change it, quick quick!!" Yeonseo said and the boy replied a small yes to her.

Yeonseo watched the boy walked away with a smile on his face. Her smile fell straight away when she saw Jungkook stumbled, falling on the floor with a loud thud.

"Kookie!" Yeonseo rushed towards the boy, "Are you alright?"

"I-I'm okay, noona." Jungkook muttered. His eyes were teary and it's pretty obvious that he's holding his tears.

"Should I call the royal physician here-" "N-No, noona!! I don't want! Please don't call them here..."

Yeonseo felt something is off with Jungkook's reaction. But she decided to shrugged it off. "Alright, be careful from now on okay?"

Jungkook nodded his head, lips slightly pouty as he got up from the ground, "I-I'll change now, noona."

"Okay, go now."

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

Yeonseo grabbed Jungkook's soft hand as they walked in the long corridor of the palace. Various of guards stood side by side, bowing their head whenever Jungkook and Yeonseo walked passed them.

Being a curious cat, Jungkook stared at those guards with his Bambi eyes went wide, looking more adorable.

"Are you hungry, baby kookie?" Yeonseo asked.

Jungkook shook his head cutely, "I'm not, noona!"

Yeonseo cooed a little, "Alright then. I'll take you to the garden. Let's play in the garden!" She tugged Jungkook's hand as they walked happily towards the garden.

... < * > ...

"Woah... Pretty Rosie..." Jungkook muttered with his eyes sparkled as he stared at roses in front of him. Different kinds of roses were gathered. Though Jungkook likes each colour of roses too, still, he likes the red roses more. He gasped out, touching the soft petal of rose with his fingertips.

"Careful, baby kookie. Don't put your finger on its thorn, okay?" Yeonseo said, a fond smile decorated on her face as he watched the boy gasping over small little things.

Jungkook felt so happy right now. When he's in the orphanage, he's not allowed to touch the flowers. And now he touch them, appreciate them, he can even hug them to sleep.

"Baby kookie," Jungkook snapped his head up when he heard Yeonseo called him.

"Yes noona?"

"Let's play in the pond. I swear it'll be fun!" Yeonseo excitedly said, pointed at the pond not far away from them.

"But... It'll wet our clothes..." Jungkook stated, pursing his lips into thin line.

"Just tug your dress up will do, kookie." Yeonseo said. Noticing the boy still hesitating, she quickly said, "There's many shiny stones inside the pond. Wanna see it?"

Jungkook's ear perked up, nodding his head firmly, "Yes, wanna see it!"

"Great!" Yeonseo frowned when she realised Jungkook seems to have difficultly to tug his dress up, "Let me help you, kookie-" "No need!"

Jungkook cleary look he's panicked, and Yeonseo can see that.

"Baby kookie, you're hiding something don't you? Perhaps... Something happen to your legs?" Yeonseo asked, eyebrows quirked up.

Jungkook quickly shook his head, "N-No!"

Yeonseo sighed, "Baby Kookie, we are a family now. If you are really hiding something away from noona, noona won't be happy with it."

Jungkook's eyes went teary with Yeonseo's statement. "N-Noona... I-I... M-My legs..."

"Your legs? Something is wrong with your legs?" Yeonseo asked softly, "Can you let noona see it?"

Jungkook nodded his head, then shook his head, making him look more adorable. "N-Noona promise won't tell anyone?"

"I promise, baby kookie. Now let me check it."

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

"Your majesty," Woosung bowed respectfully, earning a hum from Taehyung.

"Why are you here?" Taehyung asked with his tone deep and cold.

Woosung, as the most trusted guard of Taehyung for so many years, he could tell Taehyung is not in a good mood, so he didn't waste anything and said whatever he wants.

"Your majesty, it's about the queen."

Taehyung froze, stopped writing as he started to pay full attention to Woosung, "Continue."

"Yesterday, you told me to fetch his highness from the orphanage back to the palace, then escort him to his room. Everything is normal and smooth, but I realised something is off about the queen." Woosung gulped nervously, "The queen, stumbled for thrice when he walked inside the palace and he seems... Struggling on walking? And when I suggest to call royal physician to check him, he reacts so badly with it, almost like he's afraid of the royal physician."

Taehyung's eyebrows stick closer and closer together when he started to think back how Jungkook stumbled for twice during the wedding.

He though it's just a coincidence, but after hearing what Woosung said, maybe Jungkook indeed is hiding something away from everyone.

"Lim, even the queen doesn't want it, call the royal physician to check him-" Taehyung's words was interrupted with a loud banging voice of the door.

Both of the male stared at the person standing in front of them.

"Why are you here noona?" Taehyung asked his sister who's panting, leaning the doorway for support.

"Jungkook... It's about Jungkook, Tae..."
