The Princes Bunny || Vkook [ON HOLD]

❦ Introduction ❦

"Kim Taehyung! How many times do I have to tell you no so you stop asking!" A familiar roar echoed in the throne room, yelling at the fragile boy who kneels on the floor, presenting himself to the king.

The boy found himself doing this every day, in fact. Bowing down to his father, begging and getting the exact same answer. He knew It was fruitless but all the prince wanted was to go outside the palace, free from this suffocating place.

"But ap- I mean king you are being unreasonable! I am 19 years old now and-"

"Enough! Get out of my sight and go to your study, Prince Taehyung." The king cut off the boy before he could finish his sentence. Taehyung sighed and did as he was told, bidding his father adieu yet again.

Taehyung stormed into his room, not sparing anyone a glance as he walked by. He received a few glares by the guards for mumbling incoherent nonsense to himself while he angrily walked to his room, but he didn't know that.

He slammed his door and plopped himself on his mattress. It was huge- it could probably fit ten people. But he didn't have any friends or a partner to share it with, of course, so he was always alone in his room that was the size of an apartment.

"Why is my father like this? Why will he not let me go out and make friends!" He buried his face into the plump pillow and yelled to release his confined anger that was always built up.

All he ever wanted was friends; someone he could make jokes with, someone he could cry to when he was down, someone he could rely on who would always be there for him. But he had nothing except himself.

It's been like this for the past nineteen years. Even when he was a little kid, training out in the fields with grown adults while other kids his age were running around and playing patty cake with each other.

He was always alone.

Taehyung was envious of them. He wished he could run around and get scrapes on his knee, too. The boy hadn't even got a single mark on him as he was always protected by guards or "fucking flees" as he referred to them.

"I wonder if I'll ever find someone who I can care for and protect..." He sighed as he decided that he's had enough of today, just wanting to go to sleep.

He closed his eyes in hopes of drifting off to a deep slumber, wanting to forget every moment of today and doze off to the only place that made him happy in this prison. But unfortunately, it was still too early.

Groaning, Taehyung perked his head up from his pillow and glanced out his window and aimlessly got distracted by the sight in front of him.

There was a beautiful forest beyond where Taehyung's chambers lie. A forest that was growing and could travel without restraints. It had such a carefree life, he thought.

Taehyung had always wondered what it was like to be able to live like that, to be able to experience something without restriction. He was so intrigued by the wilderness and wanted so desperately to wander off and explore, but he wasn't allowed to even step foot off of the palace grounds.

But at that moment, he felt a bit rebellious. A subtle grin appeared on his face and Taehyung finally felt as if he had something to look forward to.

He was going to escape to that forest.

It was a new day and Taehyung sat in his study, carrying out his duties as the prince as per usual. But today he as in a much happier mood; which put his parents off as he would always ask to go outside of the castle.

Tonight, at precisely 12:00 AM, when most of the guards are in their rooms sleeping soundly, is when he plans to run off into the forest; the place that will finally give him a sense of freedom...

The opening of the door revealing his mother caused him to come back to reality. She observed the giddy prince who was humming a tune.

"Taehyung? What's got you in such a good mood today?" His mother asked as she opened the door then knocking, which always pissed Taehyung off.

"Nothing. Today's just a good day s'all." His words slurred as if he were drunk, lips still pursed as he continued to hum.

"Listen, I know your father has been harsh on you lately but it's for the future of our kingdom. He doesn't want you getting involved with the wrong person, dear," she told sympathetically

Taehyung rolled his eyes, instantly slipping out of his happy mood. His mother gave him this damn lecture every day.

"Yes, eomma but understand that you guys are cutting off all ties from anyone. I'm sure you and father have plenty of friends. But you and father have yet to give me that chance to even remotely get close to another person."

"Tell me, did you or did you not meet father as his friend?" He questioned with a glimpse of anger in his eyes, expecting a wholesome explanation from his mother who bit her lip.

"Yes I did but-"

"Then why can't I, huh? I'm almost an adult and you and father have yet to let me have ONE friend," he emphasized every word, glaring at his mother who dared to argue with him again.

"Dear, we just want what's best for you," she retorted.

Taehyung scoffed and gave a small chuckle, "What's best for me? Bullshit. You have not once let me go outside of this kingdom. Not once. You refuse to let me talk to anyone other than those fucking flees. I haven't the slightest clue what life is like outside of this hell hole. And you think that's best for me?" He pointed to the door, well aware of his actions. "Now please go before I go on and on about how this is clearly not what's best for me nor the kingdom, mother."

She was too shocked to react to what had just come out of her son's mouth but nonetheless took her leave with a swift nod of her head.

Taehyung sighed as he rolled back in his chair, glancing at the luxurious forest, placing his head in the palm of his hand, sighing in relief.

"Today is when I will witness true freedom."
