The Silent Prince (a short taehyung FF)

⚜️Sand bags⚜️

Chapter 4

{Narrator}

Fi-fi opens the doors of the cupboard and drags out 1 sandbag. Rie rubs her head and reaches in for the second sandbag. She heaves the two packs of sand into a bag, and adds two energy drinks. Taehyung would be running today, but now, with added weights.

Rie practically dragged the bag into the forest. Up till now, she still doesn't understand why Taehyung insisted on training on the uneven forest ground, maybe out of consideration for Fi-fi? But that's unlikely.

With the heavy load of at least 4kg on her back, she prod into the forest. Rie approached Taehyung, and was about to call him, when she sees the boy, carrying flames. The calmness of his aura puzzled her. But everything started to click together. He was a high-noble. Just as Rie went over to Taehyung, the flame died from his hands.

"You're a high noble." Taehyung eyes grew big and he starts blinking.

He cleared his throat.

"Uhh.." He starts.

"It's....okay.." She drags the bag infront of him.

"Me and Fi-fi prepared a little picnic bag for you." Her shoulders tightened, feeling a crazy tension at his presence and yet at the same time, he being here brought some inner peace.

Weird.

"What?! sand bags?!"

She snaps out of her trance.

"Yeah! What's the problem?"

"Have you gotten it wrong Rie? Were you supposed to pack a sandwich for me?"

"Nope." She laughs, and Fi-fi swoops down to perch on her shoulder.

"This" she points to the bag.

"Would make you a foot long sandwich."

"Very funny." His brows tighten, as if he were assessing what she'd said.

Three hours later.

"Nngh....ARGH! GeT tHiS oFf mE!" Taehyung yanks hard at the straps.

By Rie's calculations, he had successfully ran 11km, continuously. Which was two rounds consecutively around the forest.

"Good job Tae!" She removes the sandbags, he on the other sore hand, sags onto a log in relief.

"Oh, good lord."

"Now, run another 22km." Taehyung just looks at her as if she's grown another head.

"You want ME to WHAT now?!"

"Run 22km." She replies crossing her hands over her chest.

"I'm on the verge of dying and you're asking me to run more?!"

"Yea. In military, you run 55km without rest. Come on. This is going to be easy. The weights are off you now. LET'S GO. CHOP CHOP."

"Fine. At least help me up." He extends a hand. Rie rolls her eyes and offers her hand.

Right when he takes it, he jerks her hand forward, and she falls right into his arms. Her face in the crook of his warm neck.

Everything just happened so quickly, how would you think she could register anything?

"Can you hear my heartbeat?" She nods, pushing herself up from his chest, her face just inches away from his.

"Yea. Part of it is beating for you-" Now he sees him in her. Jeon Jungkook. The same ebony eyes, double lidded. The uncanny similarity of the slope of her nose, and the crown of her lips.

"Rie...." he calls.

"Yeah?"

"You look like-" his voice dies, and his eyes widen for a second. Muting himself.

"What do I look like?" She prompts picking up a leaf.

He quickly thinks of something a smirk slowly gliding across his face, "You look like you're in love with me."
