Not-So-Prince Charming // KTH

zehn | end

i cross my legs as i sit down on the bench outside of the kims's hut, hands resting on my knees. taehyung takes a seat next to me.

"why did you come all the way there?" i ask him, not sure whether to look at him or not.

"well first of all, i wanted my shoe back," he begins and i chuckle. "it takes jin hyung a good week to even start making a pair."

"and?" i urge him to continue.

"i couldn't let you marry that douchebag."

"yeah, i wouldn't want him as my king either," i nod in agreement, finally deciding to face him. my arms grip the seat of the bench and i uncross my legs to swing them back and forth.

"no, i mean, i don't want him to be the one to be able to call you his."

i pause, brows furrowing. "what are you getting at?"

he sighs, his hand pushing his hair back only for it to fall back down. he needed a haircut. "i guess what i'm trying to say is.." he trails off, leaving me hanging.

"come on, tell me," i gently shake his arm, the curiosity killing me.

"i.."

"yah, if you don't tell me then i'm saying what i have to say first."

"and what's that?" he asks, forehead crinkling.

"i'm in love with you."

he blinks once.

twice.

then once again.

realizing how bluntly that came out, i look down awkwardly.

i feel his fingers gently lifting my chin up, and before i know it i'm stuck wallowing in the waters of his swirling eyes.

my time to admire the sight in front of me was cut short as my eyes closed. his lips enveloped mine into a sweet seal.

it seemed to last an eternity as we finally clashed. the entire picture seemed unreal. me, the princess, sitting outside of a commoner's hut with the owner and kissing.

of course, i don't mind.

i'm the first to break away as i need to catch my breath, releasing my lips but keeping my head in the same position. my eyes partially open, coming in contact with taehyung's dilated ones.

"you don't know how long i've been waiting to do that," he breathes out, catching as much air as he could.

"i'll take that as an 'i like you too,'" i smile.

he places a kiss on my forehead. "take it as an, 'i love you too'."

-

"hE SAID HE LOVES YOU TOO?!?" jungkook almost falls out of his chair.

"exactly!" i shriek, excitedly yelling into one of my many pillows.

"what exactly happens when you go out to "tutor" him huh?! what have i been missing?!"

"we haven't done anything, that's the thing!" she runs her fingers through her hair. "i've had a lot of time to think on my own while in prince douchebag's castle, and i didn't even realize how much i had missed taehyung. i thought it was just a separation thing, but i've never felt how i feel around him before. it's almost hard to breathe knowing he isn't near."

"wow you're whipped," kook snorts. "so are you guys dating now?"

"you really think father would allow that?" i snort before my eyes widen. "what will father say?!"
