Guarded ♧

•Charlie•

"No freaking way. Why are you here?! aren't you supposed to be in Stanford taking up your masters degree?!"

"Since Yoongi is not around for a few days, I will be fulfilling his spot your higness. After all, I will be back to the States next week."

"Don't go following me around Namjoon. I'm no longer in middle school. 😑"

The handsome guy who the prince addressed as 'Namjoon' lingered his eyes on me after speaking. His expression then turned curious...

"This is Charlie."

His highness held my hand and I bowed to the new guy who seemed to be his temporary adviser. He looks friendly and matured and...

"Ah, the new mat-warmer. Am I right? Hahaha."

Or...not. 😐

What did he call me? M-mat warmer?...what does that even mean?...🙁

He then grunted and made a straight face when his majesty didn't react to what he said. The prince looked down on me. I wasn't able to shift my dumbfounded face rightaway so I just awkwardly smiled at him. He then returned his gaze to Namjoon. 

"Yes Namjoon. Just like your sister. My mat warmer. We are going to the traditional terrain. Do not follow us."

I felt the tension between the two young men. I squeezed the prince's hand and with that, he led me away from the estranged adviser, Namjoon.

Prince Taehyung walked in such a fast pace that I somehow struggled to keep up. He was obviously aggravated on the 'mat warmer' thing. So I asked him despite the struggle.

"Y-your majesty, what is mat warmer?"

He suddenly stopped and I bumped into his lean back.

"You are not just a mat wamer and you will never be. Don't mind him."

He said in a serious tone. I slowly walked infront of him and was surprised to see a seemingly offended expression. I held Tata securely in my arms.
