A Royal Proposal | Taehyung x Reader

Chapter 31 - Long Live The Queen

You tried to park your thoughts on the whole hoseok conversation to the back of your mind, although it was challenging.

You were raging, it took Jungkook to ask you three times what was going on or if you were feeling well, for you to get yourself together.

Tomorrow was your coronation day and unfortunately you had a little run through planned with Jungkook just to make sure you understood was expected. As you had given him and your court assistants full control on organizing it you had little knowledge about the day itself.

It was rather unconventional as the person to be coronated is supposed to have a big role in organizing the day.

You also hadn't told Taehyung about the conversation you had with Hoseok. It wasn't that you wanted to keep it a secret per se, it was because too much was going on and this was not the priority at the moment.

You would tell him later. some time after the coronation.

Later that evening you had difficulty falling asleep as you started to realize what the next day would mean for you. becoming a queen. all the responsibilities it would entail. the ones that you had now so carefully avoided as your mother took on most of the tasks.

The whole thing was with such a double feeling and you couldn't be happy at all.

it was supposed to be so different, either your mother had died of old age or she had given up the title for you.

Neither of those two options happened. Although she had been training you for this moment since the moment you were born and especially since the moment that your father had passed away it still felt like you weren't ready. Like you didn't have enough time.

You uneasily shifted around in your bed.

If you could turn off your overthinking for one freaking evening you would definitely choose it.

You felt the vibrations of the bed indicating Taehyung was turning your way.

He stared at you with his beautiful eyes

'I am sorry' you muttered

He took your hand in his face, softly stroking your cheeks

'It will be okay y/n, I'll be there with you' Taehyung said as he glanced into your eyes.

He understood you were stressed. It became clear that he noticed a lot of your feelings.

You nodded and moved closer so that your head was on his chest. You could hardly ignore his rapid heartbeat, which was rather cute.

His hand lazily stroked your hair

'go to sleep now y/n'

You closed your eyes and surely your mind was so distracted by his hands going through your hair and his warmth that was now against you that all the overthinking halted and you were finally able to fall asleep.

You had to get up early as the preparations on this special day were more extensive than anything you had dealt with before.

Your dress was bigger and thus took a longer time to properly put on

Your hair had to be done in a special way just like your makeup. Or so Solar had said.

The important thing was that you had to express power and elegance at the same time.

Taehyung had left your chambers as he himself had to get prepared as well. plus he had to eat some breakfast with the other princes.

Jungkook waited outside for you. When you were finally ready and stepped out of the room he gasped for a moment.
