Destined [PARK SUNGHOON]

2

"Nat! Welcome home, dear." The queen, Sunghoon's mother greeted her warmly. Natalia was greeted by a hug she quickly returned. The hug was filled with nothing but comfort and love. Sunghoon's family has always wanted a daughter, unfortunately, it was rare for them to have a girl.

"I finally have a daughter." The king smiled as he also went to hug her. The king was radiating with authority and power, nonetheless, his hug was warm as he embraced the princess.

"Congratulations on the wedding." He greeted the newlyweds.

"Thank you for your kind greetings, king Yoongi." Natalia smiled. Natalia has always wanted to meet the famous king. He is known for being cruel to invaders and enemies but kind and loving to his family and to his people. He is admired by everyone. Only an idiot would dare to cross him.

From the corner of her eyes, she could see Sunghoon rolling his eyes.

"Mom, Dad, I'm sure she's tired. If you really want grandchildren then don't you think we should rest now?" Sunghoon interrupted. He said it so casual as if he wasn't talking to his parents.

Natalia's cheeks unintentionally redened. She lowered her head in an attempt to hide the flush on her face. She's still not used to Sunghoon's flirty personality, and she swears she will never get used to it.

She felt the way he moved forward and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to his side.

Natalia lifted her head and saw the queen and king laughing to each other.

"Well then go take your well deserved rest." The queen said. The king and queen exchanged amused looks as the king held the queen's hand and left the room together.

They are one of the royalties, alongside Nat's parents, who married because of love. Nat wanted the same thing but life finds mysterious ways to ruin her plans.

Natalia curtsied as they left the room.

"What the fuck was that? I am not giving you kids." Nat finally said after she recovered from her shock and once she made sure the king and queen cannot hear what she said.

"We'll see." Sunghoon smirked. He placed his hands inside his pockets and nodded to the servants.

"Help her."

They nodded and grabbed her things. They began walking. Natalia kept admiring the castle. Celestial Castle is one of the most beautiful castles to exist.

It's a mix of vintage and modern architecture. Arts from different eras are also present. From gothic to romanesque. It was one of the castles built decades ago and maintained beautifully.

Natalia's eyes widened as Sunghoon entered the same room as hers. Her eyes drifted around the room which is clearly decorated for newly weds.

A pair of of slippers, pair of bathrobes, everything had a pair.

"What the fuck." Natalia cursed seeing the lube in their nightstand.

"I guess they really want grandchildren." Sunghoon chuckled. "No condoms.. really." He laughed and sat down.

"Hey! Why are you sitting down?" Nat scolded and forced the prince to stand up. She did not think twice before pulling him. Nat then began to pat the sheets, making sure they aren't filled with dust.

"What in the world are you doing? I'm tired." Sunghoon said, frustrated. His body aches from everything he did the entire day. The prince and princess barely had any chance to sit, except for their journey back to palace.

"No one sits on my bed with outside clothes." She said. Nat is a firm believer of cleanliness.

"What do you mean your bed? This is our bed." He retorded. Emphasizing the 'our' in his sentence.

Nat ignored him and began unpacking.

She tried to fight off the smile when she heard him enter the bathroom and taking a bath.

***

Nat settled herself in her new bed. She patted the sheets and grabbed her phone when she felt the bed dip.

She glared at Sunghoon who was wearing a white top and some grey sweatpants. His hair was still water. Nat could see little droplest falling from his hair. Sunghoon reached for a towel to dry his hair.

"What are you doing?" She glared once Sunghoon also got on the bed and leaned his back on the bedframe.

"Sleeping." He replied.

"We are not sleeping on the same bed." She said.

Sunghoon merely nodded and closes his eyes.

"Did you hear me?"

"hm."

"Park Sunghoon!"

"Didn't expect to hear you scream my name so soon." He said, still with his eyes closed.

Nat blinked. She cleared her throat and decided to stand up. Grabbing her blanket and pillow with her. She turned around when she felt someone pull her.

She opened her eyes and saw the prince on top of her. Both of his hands right besides her head.

"Tell me, Natalia why can't we sleep on the same bed?"

Nat tried not to get distracted but it was too hard.

Was it because of the faint smell from his expensive perfume? Was it because of the way he stares? Wait.. no.

It was because of him.

His entire existence is making her distracted. He is intoxicating. Sunghoon is like a flame and she's a moth.

"I'm your husband.. you're my wife. Why can't we sleep in the same bed, hm?"

Nat managed to hold eye contact without breaking it. She saw the way his adam's apple moved up and down as he swallowed.

"Do you feel uncomfortable? Answer me, Natalia."

'Natalia'

That was the first time he ever called her name. Her real name. He did not even say her real name durinf their wedding speech.

"Sunghoon-"

She got interrupted as the door suddenly opened. Nat and Sunghoon quickly turned to see who interrupted them

"Oh, hey dad." Sunghoon greeted as he moved towards her side.

The king blinked.

"Your mom wanted me to check if Natalia is settled well.. I guess she is. Don't tire her out too much." He winked as he closed the door.

"What the fuck."

Nat cursed.
