"Seokjin!" Little Taehyung ran to his guardian, three years older than Taehyung. Seokjin was also a boy, his body still looked petite, and he just started working out intensely.

The young prince grinned happily, hands clutching the Edelweiss flowers tightly against his chest.

The prince's feet were full of bruises, remembering the flowers field was in the middle of the forest near the hills far away from the kingdom located in the north area of East Kingdom.

Seokjin once mentioned to Taehyung how he loves the flower and wondering if he could see it again with his own eyes one day. Since Seokjin used to live in a forest and his father often brought back edelweiss after a hunting week.

Taehyung remembered a big grass field, the King of East Kingdom once brought him to the mountains in their territory and he saw a lot of Edelweiss flowers.

As innocent as he was, the young boy sneaked into the stable and took his horse without asking permission to the king or his royal tutors. He left at the dawn when most of the people were still asleep. Seokjin was still sleeping in his room in the servant's building.

The prince went with just his memories as guidance. Used the garden gate that connected to the outer part of the kingdom and left the castle alone, he knew guard rarely go there since that place has a lot of traps for intruders but the young prince memorized every single of the traps and able to sneak out without causing a fuss.

He used his black cloak, hiding his face from the guard that patrolling in the city's streets.

He knew a lot of hidden path in the city, his friend from the city taught him a lot. Surprising but the East Kingdom prince has a lot of friend from various social status, from a noble to street rats. Taehyung smiled and welcomed all of them with open hands.

He smiled, his chest swelled when he imagined Seokjin's happy face when he brings back the flowers.

Oh how naïve.

The road wasn't that easy.

For a young teenager, barely fourteen to go alone to the big forest. Not to mention it was raining and the road was slippery. Even though it was in the middle of spring, sometimes rain would come and drenches the road; like that day.

Taehyung didn't expect the short journey would be that hard. The last time he visited the hills was to have a small picnic, it wasn't like this. He went with a pack of guards, with an expensive carriage and at least three servants to help him to put the picnic set.

Taehyung wouldn't give up though, he vowed to get the flowers for Seokjin. Cringe and cheesy as it sounded but Taehyung didn't care, he would get it no matter what.

He was hungry when he passed the first border of the town and entering the forest area, the line that stood tall as the sign; reminding the young man that he already left the city and entering the outer part of the forest, he needed to go deeper.

He recalled what his father said, related to the flower field. The field located in the deeper part of the forest where there's nothing but tall trees and a really long river; the flowers field was like a small hidden paradise surrounded by huge trees.

The slippery road made the young man fell from his horse, he got a perfect score for horse racing but the lesson was in the castle training field, not muddy road like this. Taehyung winced, his knee bruised and his skin became a bloody red. He saw his knee bleed and he wanted to cry.
