Taehyung was staring at the empress face,who was being cradled in his arm seeking comfort and solace from his warmth.
His eyes were closed and he was taking soft breath,his face was flushed and swollen from the earlier activity.
Taehyung sigh and close his eyes.
What's happening with him,he can't be able to take an ounce of sleep since the words from earlier strikes his eardrum and lingered in his mind.
"Y-you b-belongs to me"
This words tumbled out the empress's mouth,his words trembling with emotions as he clung to him during their intimate moment.
What was the context of the empress words, he's a king and king don't belongs to someone,he can't belongs to someone.
He have to be present for everyone,he have to share himself with everyone.The weight of his crown demands him to be everywhere,for everyone.
He don't belongs to empress and he would never belongs to him.

Taehyung gently lifted Jungkook off his chest, the empress's eyes fluttered open, searching for reassurance. Soft morning light danced across his features, illuminating the flush still lingering on his cheeks. Jungkook's gaze met Taehyung's, and for an instant, their eyes locked.But the king look away.
Taehyung stand on his feets showing his naked glory.There was no shame on his features as he stood naked. Jungkook cheeks flushed seeing his husband bare in the morning light.He clench his thighs whereas taehyung expression was neutral.
"Get ready,we have to leave"Taehyung said, his voice low and measured, as he turned away to gather his belongings.
Jungkook eyes roam over taehyung's bare appearance as he cheeks redden more, taehyung have only seen him in the darkness of the night.He clutch the sheets closer to his chest.
Taehyung extend the robe for jungkook who grasped it immediately. He wrapped himself in its silken folds.
"Why must we leave so soon?" Jungkook asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Taehyung's gaze drifted toward the window, where the morning sun cast a golden glow. "Duties await," he replied, his tone soft and seems tired.
Jungkook's eyes never left Taehyung's face, seeking a glimmer of warmth. But the emperor's expression remained polished, unreadable.
As they prepared to leave, Jungkook's thoughts swirled'you belongs to me.' He had spoken those words in the heat of the moment, but now, he wondered if he had overstepped.
He knows for a fact he can't say these words to king, its would be a sin to call the emperor as his.He had already give up on his self-esteem and now he's embarrassing himself more in front of the emperor eyes.He called king his belonging when he knows this seems to be impossible.
Taehyung offered his arm, and Jungkook took it, his fingers wrapping around the imperial sleeve. The empress's touch sent a subtle tension through Taehyung's shoulders.
Their departure procession formed, with guards and attendants falling into step behind them. Jungkook's family members bowed deeply, wishing the imperial couple a safe journey.
As they stepped outside of the royal palace,a grand crowd awaits for them.The soliders were sitting on their horse while a horse in front waits for taehyung to occupy it.On another side a carriage was present for jungkook and his close attendant huriya.
Taehyung helps empress to sit in a carriage and offer a hand for huriya, helping her to settle inside.
