"I like the idea of that, living in a place where you need not to worry about a thing" I hummed and leaned back on the chair.

"All of these are creations of Prince Taehyung, witnessing the real world broke his heart. He hated seeing individuals one by one having breakdowns"

"Thus, this place was created for the purpose of healing of mind" I willed myself to gape at his elaboration, thoroughly fascinated by the backstory.

"I have to say, that's- that's very kind and considerate of him" I spoke, not forgetting to spare a glance at Taehyung who was speaking with the associates of the kingdom.

"Yes he is, it's apart of many reasons why we adore him so much" Yoongi grinned, looking at Taehyung too.

"But I don't really get it, if that's why Taehyung built this place, how would it- in any way assist the people in the real world?" I tapped the fork against my mouth.

Yoongi stared at me with a tiny smirk playing on his lips, probably amused with the amount of questions I shot at him. "Well, first Pri-"

A light pressure on my right shoulder had me turning around to see who it was, Taehyung. In no time, my eyes darted somewhere else for I simply couldn't look too long, frightened that I might get lost in his beauty.

"Hey you, ready to go yet?" Taehyung grinned and looked down at me. "Huh what- oh yeah definitely" I put down the fork and hastily stood up.

I ignored Yoongi who hadn't bothered to hide his bemusement at my clumsiness that came out every single time I was near Taehyung. I took his extended hand and squinted at Yoongi who clutched his chest where his heart was, dramatically once Taehyung's back was to him.

We walked in silence for a bit until I blinked and suddenly we were atop of the hill next to my house. "You two were getting on really well, it seemed" Taehyung smirked, still holding my hand.

"Heh yeah, sorry I didn't talk to you as much. I got carried away" I shyly said, kicking the grass. I braved myself to look up at him who now, was smiling down at me.

Good god, he appeared so ethereal with the faint light from the moon illuminating his blond hair that was slightly getting in the way of his eyes.

"Guess I better go now" I timidly waved before walking away slowly. "Jungkook" he called out. I spun around in reflex to see Taehyung with his arms spread out.

"You forgot one thing" he motioned me to come over. My feet unknowingly brought me back to him and my hands went up to hug him.

His arms wrapped around my figure. "Don't forget to come and visit again okay?" He whispered. I hugged him tighter, inhaling his flowery scent. "I'll come back" my voice was muffled by his attire.

I felt him kiss the top of my head and both of us eventually let go of each other. He rubbed my back, "Now off you go, honey"

I turned to leave once again and not more than 30 seconds later, I came to an abrupt halt. Out of the blue, my brain wasn't processing any of my thoughts.

Hold on a moment, what was I doing here? I looked around confusedly and peered at the stars as if I could find answers there. I kept walking down the hill until a well-lit mansion came into view.

I happened to see Jo passing by the window. Wait, that's right, Jo. She's my housemaid. That's my home! I slapped my forehead, feeling extremely stupid at myself for forgetting about my house.

I was very careful when entering the mansion, wanting to avoid Jo's lecture about being out during the night. However, Jo just had to exit the dining room at that time.
