Prince of RAVENTHORE |•KTH•|

21. Pain with Joy.

"Y/N." Jiyeon follows the Princess as they walk down the royal corridor. Jiyeon sighed, seeing all her efforts going down in vain to make the Princess happy. She knows the reason behind those sad eyes but Jiyeon feels helpless.

While the Princess tries, genuinely tries to smile but she fails because the void has settled inside her last night. She has been trying to feel fine, but
Y/N cannot fake it. She cannot fake smiles when it's a storm going inside her.

The anklets of the Princess stopped tingling when her feet halted in place as she looked ahead seeing Prince Taehyung cross the corridor with Jimin and Yeonjun.

Y/N's lips parted holding a breath, her chest tightening as she clutched her hands together. Taehyung was on the other end of the corridor walking away yet Y/N wanted to keep staring at every nook of his. She wanted to rush her steps to go closer but her feet felt glued to the floor.

Jiyeon sighed dreamily, wrapping her arms around Y/N's shoulders, her own eyes looking at both Y/N and Taehyung. "I heard they'll not leave today." She murmurs looking at the Princess.

'that doesn't mean they will not leave.' Y/N murmurs inside her. Suddenly she remembered about Taehyung's Robe and scarf which she still hasn't returned to him. Her eyes grew wide, 'what his highness must be thinking of me? I haven't even returned those yet?'

Her pretty orbs look ahead watching Taehyung and her memories travel to this early morning when she wakes up wrapped up in Taehyung's robe completely. Until she realized it, she kept snuggling into the robe feeling so warm and comforted but as soon as her nostrils inhaled his fading manly scent on the robe....

...The Princess was rolling away instantly in shock and fell off the bed. That certainly hurted her bum and lower back but the Robe didn't untangle from her though. Not until she did it herself.

There was redness and warmth growing on her cheeks remembering the moment. But she has to return his clothes. 'your highness' Before Y/N could even think she was rushing in her steps.

But Taehyung was gone farther and
Y/N started running in the corridor holding her hanfu a little up, her hair flowing in the air behind her. She couldn't scream his name from behind because it was inappropriate so she ran behind him instead.

Why? Only to return his clothes or... to stare at him more?

"Y/N." Jiyeon was left dumbfounded but she ran behind Y/N.

Taehyung disappeared from the Princess's sight with his brother and friend. Y/N still ran, coming to the exit of the corridor to the royal garden but Taehyung was nowhere to be seen.

The Princess pants a little stopping in her tracks, looking around everywhere she could.

While In one corner of the stables, Czar, the Royal prince's black Beauty was leaning closer to a white female horse on his left side in the other stall. She was pure white with blonde long hair on her nape. So pretty, so beautiful . While Czar has black shiny hair, a contrast of hers.

It was amusing that Czar had his head out leaning towards her stall, making efforts but she was ignoring him to the fullest.

They were exactly opposite of their owners.

It was until Czar smelled his master nearing the stables. He pulled away, turning his head to the entrance in anticipation. And Soon Taehyung entered, making Czar adjust on his steps as he neighed a little.

Taehyung stepped inside, followed by Jimin and Yeonjun who immediately walked past Taehyung to their own horses. While Taehyung approached Czar who ducked his neck and head out, nuzzling Taehyung.
