Jungkook pouted. He didn't have a good morning today. First he woke up without Taehyung, then tripped when he got up from the bed and he even choked on plain water just now.

His hair was messy, like a bird nest and his lips is pouty, cheeks puffed out as he scrunched his pretty face, like a little bunny who lost it's baby carrot and currently throwing a tantrum.

"Are you okay, your highness?" Katherine asked, adding more baby carrot to Jungkook's plate.

Jungkook pursed his lips, shaking his head furiously. "I'm angry."

Katherine stopped the urge to laugh at the boy's cuteness, "What's wrong? Why are you angry?"

"Taetae didn't wake me up in the morning and I tripped over nothing when I got down from the bed and I..." Jungkook began to ramble, "...I'm angry!"

"Oh I see..." Katherine pursed her lips to stop it curving upwards, "Though you're cute, angry doesn't suit you, your highness."

Jungkook continue pouted, "But I'm angry. Where's Taetae?"

"His majesty is handling kings from other countries as today it's his birthday and-" "Today is Taetae's birthday?!"

Jungkook widen his eyes, gasping out in shock when Katherine nodded her head.

"Then we should celebrate it-" "No, your highness. We are not allowed to celebrate his majesty's birthday."

"Why?" Jungkook asked, tilting his head.

Katherine sighed heavily, "His majesty doesn't like it. No one knows why."

Jungkook pouted, "B-But Taetae won't feel the fun anymore..."

"It's okay, your highness. His majesty is used to it, we are all used to it. No need to worry about it." Katherine smiled, "Enjoy your breakfast now, your highness."

Jungkook bites his lips, staring the dining table with various of ideas running around his head.

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

Jungkook quietly entered Taehyung's work place while holding something behind his back. He looked left and right, eyes lit up when he spotted Taehyung sitting on a couch with closed eyes.

The petite boy pursed his lips, approaching the male carefully. When he almost reached the king, he yelped out as he suddenly got pulled to Taehyung's lap.

"Taetae, you startled me!" Jungkook whined, earning a chuckle from the king.

"Who told you to walk inside like a little thief huh? You thought I won't realize you approached me?" Taehyung said, opening his eyes to meet with Jungkook's doe eyes.

Jungkook puffed his cheeks out, "Thank god my flowers didn't get hurt..." He muttered with puckered lips.

Hearing the younger's statement, Taehyung right now realize Jungkook is holding a bouquet of lily in his hands.

"Lily? Why did you bring flowers here?" The king asked.

"I heart Katherine noona said today is your birthday..." Jungkook stated, "She said you don't like to celebrate it. But I feel like a birthday with no present it's not fun... In the orphanage, other kids get to celebrate their birthday and I found it fun. I didn't get to celebrate my own birthday, so I thought I need to celebrate Taetae's birthday..." He rambled and Taehyung just stared at his cute lover with a wide smile on his face.

"So this lily is my birthday present?" Taehyung asked, eyebrows raised up.

Jungkook nodded his head. "Though I've been here for months, but I still can't directly tell what you like. So I picked my second favourite flower, lily for you! They're freshly picked! Aren't they beautiful?"

"They are, pup." Taehyung said, "Thank you. This is the best present I've ever received."

"You're welcome!" Jungkook chirped, "By the way Taetae, why don't you allow the servants to celebrate your birthday?"

Taehyung rubbed his forehead, "I found it rather annoying. I just want to stay alone and silent everyday."

Jungkook blinked his eyes, soon tears filled in them, "S-So does that mean I'm annoying?"

"No no no!" Taehyung quickly wipe off Jungkook's tears, "Of course not, pup! You're the best. You're different from others."

Jungkook sniffled, "O-Oh..." He averted his gaze to the window beside them, eyes lit up when he saw it's raining outside.

"Taetae, it's raining!" He exclaimed excitedly.

"So?"

"Let's play in the rain!" Jungkook beamed, got down from Taehyung's lap as he dragged the man with his little hands.

"We'll catch a cold, pup."

"It's okay! Treat the sickness or cold as your birthday present then!" Jungkook cutely said, raising his hands up in the air.

Taehyung shook his head in defeat, "Alright. Let's go."

"Oh right!" Jungkook stopped running, turning around. "Taetae, Happy birthday!"

Taehyung smiled, "Thank you baby."

"And... I love you, I really really love you Taetae!" Jungkook confessed, jumping up and pecked Taehyung's cheeks, running away while giggling.

Taehyung stood there frozen at first, soon a his smile went wider and wider.

Birthday or not, Taehyung is still a whipped man for his little mate Jungkook.
