In the quiet haven of Jeongguk's room, Taehyung found solace on the couch, his head comfortably nestled on Jeongguk's shoulder. The gentle hum of the room was interrupted only by the soft tapping of Jeongguk's fingers on his laptop.

As Jeongguk delved into his work, Taehyung absentmindedly scrolled through his phone, exploring the vast landscapes of the digital world.

Suddenly, he stumbled upon a series of captivating pictures from an art museum he had discovered on Instagram. Intrigued, he leaned in, showing Jeongguk the vibrant images.

"Hey, Hyung, look at this! There's an art museum I found on Instagram, and the exhibits look amazing. Can we go sometime?" Taehyung's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.

Jeongguk, momentarily shifting his attention from his laptop, glanced at the images. A genuine smile curved his lips as he absorbed the beauty captured in the pictures. "Oh, I actually know the artist, personally. I'll call and try to set a date."

Excitement danced in Taehyung's eyes as he beamed at the Prince's agreement. On a whimsical urge, he suggested, "How about we go tomorrow? It's a spontaneous adventure!"

Jeongguk chuckled, appreciating Taehyung's spontaneous spirit. "Sounds like a plan. Let me arrange it."

Jeongguk dialed his courtier, instructing him to book out the art museum for their visit the next day. The efficiency with which he handled the logistics spoke to the privileges of royalty.

After ending the call, Jeongguk turned to Taehyung, with a tiny gleam of pride at making the younger prince happy. "It's booked. We have the art museum all to ourselves tomorrow. Ready for an artistic adventure?"

Taehyung grinned, his eyes alight with anticipation. "Absolutely, Ggukie. It's going to be fantastic."

As they returned to their respective screens—one occupied with work, the other immersed in the allure of digital art—the promise of a shared adventure lingered in the air, setting the stage for a day filled with creativity, exploration, and the magic of artistic expression.

You're probably wondering how we got here, and for that, we have to go back a few weeks back to their little market date.

Flashback

After a long day at the market, as the evening approached, Taehyung and Jeongguk found themselves in a rooftop restaurant with a breathtaking view of the starlit sky.

The soft glow of string lights overhead added a touch of magic to the ambiance, creating a serene and intimate setting for their dinner.

Seated at a table overlooking the city, the gentle evening breeze carried the faint scent of flowers, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The sky above was a canvas of twinkling stars, casting a serene glow over the scene.

Taehyung and Jeongguk engaged in casual conversation, their dinner illuminated by the dim, romantic lighting.

The evening offered them a chance to unwind and share stories, thoughts, and laughter amidst the charming backdrop of the starry night.

As they enjoyed their meal, the two friends savored the tranquility of the rooftop setting. The distant chatter of other patrons mingled with the peaceful symphony of the night, creating an ambiance that felt both serene and enchanting.

Their dinner conversation was filled with shared laughter, genuine camaraderie, and the comforting feeling of being in each other's company under the breathtaking expanse of the starlit sky.

It was a perfect end to a day filled with adventure, laughter, and an ever-deepening bond between two friends in the heart of Zenith Arcanum.

As their dinner came to an end, Jeongguk cleared his throat, trying to get Taehyung’s attention. To which he did.
