⚜️16:Trenashia ⚜️

Day 6 of 14

Nowadays Taehyung finds himself waking up occasionally, just to gaze at Jungkook's sleeping face.
Along with this, his need to feel Jungkook's lips has intensified after yesterday's incident.

When the king's lips touched his, it was something he never knew he needed, the feeling was like that of drinking an elixir, which he craved from eternity like a parched man.

But the feeling soon turned into sadness and guilt when Jungkook left him without a word and didn't return till late in the night.

When asking about the king's whereabouts he got to know that he would be staying in Haneul's palace.

And then he finally cried thinking that Jungkook was again distancing himself. Panic overflew his body , he felt abandoned and lost. Lost in a foreign country with no friend to talk to when he feels down.

So he found himself in his art room his one and only, ultimate comfort place. Taehyung has always found paintings so comforting.

At the young age of 5 when his mother and twin brother died in a heartwrenching accident, he completely closed himself to the world, and that included his father and his brother Seokjin as well. The only ones he let in were Jungkook and Jimin. Seeing his behaviour his father was quick to send him to Alavania to live with Jungkook. And it is here in Alvania he discovered painting and that became his ultimate solace. Whenever he felt sad, lonely, abandoned, angry, happy, whatever he felt he painted. Painting brought him out of his shell.

But when his father got to know about his one and only child is developing interest in paintings, he was furious and prohibited him from painting until and unless he learned swordsmanship, Archery, poltics and everything that would make him a king. He eventually ruled Eucon for a short span of 3 months. However he wasn't born to be a king he could feel that in each and every fibre of his body. So when his father died he immediately passed the throne to his cousin brother Seokjin.

And he once again immersed himself in paintings.. finding joy and happiness in his own little world of art.

"What are you thinking bear?" Jungkook asks groggily, waking up from his sleep and noticing that the prince was looking at him like a hypnotized doll.

"Uh-uh nothing" prince stammers, blushing, he sits up.

"It's just 5 am, where are you going, c'mon let's sleep some more." Jungkook says extending both of his hands, inviting Taehyung in his arms.

Taehyung looks down and blushes a little bit more (no he is practically a tomato).

"You're one lazy king, you promised to take me to Trenashia." Taehyung says composing himself.

"But it's cold without you, please let's sleep some more" Jungkook sulks.

Taehyung sighs and denies"No, I am not listening to you, get up." He says poking Jungkook's stomach with his finger to wake him up.

"Nooooo" the king says turning away from Taehyung.

"How far is the forest?" Taehyung asks tiredly, you see riding on a bumpy road in a carriage for the past 2 hours is not a fun experience.

"Just few more minutes, I can already see the forest" Jungkook says peeking out of the wagon's closed window.

"Oh really" Taehyung jumps up on his seat and glances outside. He sees various people walking around the forest , some in fancy outfits and some in not so common outfits. He isn't surprised Trenashia is famous tourist spot in Alvania.
