Taehyung woke up first.

The sun shone through the windows, blanketing Taehyung's room in a soft golden glow. He opened his eyes to Jungkook sleeping beside him. The man looked like an angel, with hands underneath his head and lips in a slight pout. Taehyung smiled, giving him a peck on the forehead before getting out of bed and heading into the bathroom.

Jungkook ran through the forest, the branches of the trees scratching his skin. He stopped to hide, panting heavily and having no time to nurse his wounds. Everything hurt from head to toe. He heard the rustle of the bushes, the enemy approaching.

He held his breath, stopping all of his movements to wait for it to pass. He didn't want to get caught, not today. Crunching footsteps sounded nearby. Jungkook let out a quiet exhale before clapping his hand over his mouth. Not today. Not today.

The footsteps circled around the area, searching for its prey. They looked at the bushes, fresh red and blue berries on their branches. But that isn't what they were interested in. They wanted to find the bunny hiding in the bushes. An animal near Jungkook's hiding place jumped out of the bush, causing it to rustle.

The enemy looked over. An actual bunny. How convenient. They edged closer to the bush, Jungkook hearing each and every crunching step. He panicked, tempted to jump out and run away again. He was already so battered and bruised, he might as well run again...

But, the enemy parted the bushes, smiling in triumph. Jungkook whipped around, clutching his scratched hand.

"Found you."

Jungkook woke up with a gasp. He shot up, finding himself in Taehyung's bedroom and in reality. He looked to the side, finding Taehyung not there. Right then he heard the sound of water sloshing. Still here. He got out from bed to head to the balcony. The sun shone brilliantly in the sky, covering the kingdom in sunlight. He found his restaurant, and remembered he had a restock to do.

He found a blank piece of paper on Taehyung's desk and was about to write something before tanned strong arms wrapped around him. "Whatcha doing?" Taehyung asked, setting his head on Jungkook's shoulder. "I was just about to write you a note saying that I have to go. But I can tell you now, I guess."

Jungkook turned around, so their faces were inches apart and Taehyung's arms were on his waist, him leaning against the desk. "I have a restaurant to run," Jungkook smiled, wrapping an arm around Taehyung's neck. "I'll let you go. Not before I have you first," Taehyung smirked. Taehyung brought their lips together in a quick kiss.

Their lips moved, with Jungkook pulling Taehyung closer. Taehyung's hands moved down to cup Jungkook's ass, and the kiss continued. Taehyung broke the kiss to press pecks to Jungkook's neck. He grabbed Jungkook's hair, tilting his head back to give him more access. The man beneath him let out a moan in earnest.

Taehyung pressed wet kisses to Jungkook's neck, the man letting out a small sigh. Taehyung stopped. "You're like candy. Once I've tried it, I can't get enough." Jungkook blushed, pushing Taehyung away. "I have to go now." 'I'll walk you." Taehyung took Jungkook's hand and led him out into the hallway. To their surprise, Kiere stood at the doorway.

"Who's this, Your Highness?" she asked, with skeptical looks at Jungkook. Taehyung sighed, not wanting to deal with this. This woman is so annoying. "Just a friend who stayed over. Other than that, none of your business." "Did you tell your father you had someone over?" "Did you forget I'm 25 and not a teenager?" Taehyung's voice turned harsh. Kiere bowed her head. "I apologize."

Taehyung furrowed his brow. "There's some plates in my room. Bring those to the kitchen to be cleaned. Other than that, I don't want to see you again for the rest of the day." "Yes, Your Highness." "Dismissed." Kiere walked quickly into the room, and Jungkook saw how Taehyung was not in a good mood. He planted a kiss on Taehyung's shoulder. "Don't mind her. You can come over later. Or you can go see Jin."
