ROYALS

No in Between

Hyela heard the bird chirping indicating that morning has already begun. She buried her face deeper into the pillow. She automatically grunted when she heard the knocking on her door.

The clicking of his shoes is so not noticeable.

She let out the second grunts and kicked her bed as she laid on her face. "What. What the hell you want Kim didly Taehyung."

He laughed quietly. It has already became a habit of him for the past of this couple of months to wake her up. She turned around and blew a few strands of hair landed on her face. She wailed her hands up. "You always ruin my mood Your Highness." He caught her off guard by grabbing both of her arm up.

She was on her knees while her hand around his neck. His right hand hold her waist guarding her from falling backwards. The close proximity of their face still make her feel tingle all up inside.

She blinked her eyes trying to avoid his dark chocolate eyes that staring deeply into hers. Taehyung's other hand touched her cheek "You're face is red." Her light chocolate eyes widened as she wiggled desperately trying to get out from his hold. She loose her balance knowing where this could lead them.

She could feel her body softly land on the bed and the reason was because Taehyung's hand that was guarding her back. They both did the staring session again. He could feel his heart thumping against his ribcage. He leaned closer. The memory of their first kiss hit her like a brick.

Taehyung kissed her forehead as gentle as he could as she closed her eyes engulfing the feeling of his lips on her skin. The difference this time is intentional. Their first kiss that they shared was unintentional but this time it was different. He intend to do so. And she couldn't help but to feel better about it.

He pats her hair as her eyes flutter opening them again. "You should take a bath baby girl."

Babygirl.

Babygirl.

Reality punched her harder than the brick. She pushed him to the side of the bed and jolt up with the bathrobe to the toilet. "Piss off Taetae!" Slamming the door close, her hand glides up and touched the loud thump feeling on her chest. Whispering alone, she spoke "It wouldn't stop."

Taehyung spreads his arm on her bed smiling hard. "Taetae.."

Being honest about it feels good. He never treat anyone the way he did with her.

Those gentle behavior is not even normal. She ruffled her hair in frustration "Make it stop." Her hand touched her chest "Damn it, make it stopp." Then it went down to her stomach. The butterflies flapping nonstop. "Make it stop make it stop. Pleasee.."

She walk slowly to the mirror. The smile couldn't stop circling on her face. Her eyes trailed to the door "You make me crazy Taehyung."

Taehyung closed her eyes remembering the feeling of her skin when he kissed her forehead. The doe eyes of hers. The way she crumpled her eyebrow together when she couldn't solve any questions or even when her pupils dilated when she's determined to learn something new.

He whispers under his breath sighing "You make me crazy Hyela."

She washed her hair smiling. He was always gentle with her. It's definitely different than his previous tease. Before it was rough, wanting to ruin her day, making her feel angry, but this time, it always plays with her feelings. What was Taehyung trying to do? Hitting on her?

She then remembered how he even wrote apology letter when he couldn't wake her up that day. It was only a day.

He had to go to the border early in the dusk to observe the national security. It was all full of love. He never apologize for anything but since the day he caught her sneak out, he even have the bold to flirt right infront the King!

She remembered clearly that he wrote 'Love, Taehyung' in the end.

"Aish.." Hyela dried her hair up and wore the set undergarments placed by probably Elenor before going out with the bathrobe securely wrap around her. Walk out, she found another envelope. Rolling her eyes, she picked the envelope up and read.

Hope you didn't take too long angering on me in that bathroom of yours. Im sorry that I had to leave early. Father need my presence in his chamber.

We'll see at the dining hall for breakfast. I specially ordered your blueberry muffins. I still remembered how you would kick me in the shin for it. Surprise me again Lady Park Emerald Hyela.

Love,Taehyung.

"Eherm." She spun around at the sound and saw the three ladies smirking. Aurora arranged her jewelry while Elenor make sure her bed in the most proper way. Paige is standing with her morning dress. The three of them smile. "Who gave you the letter My lady??"

She sighed and placed the letter on the table. "Prince Kim Amethyst Taehyung" Hyela took the gown and wore. Elenor helped to zip her dress up as Paige began to set her hair done.

Aurora chose her heels. "Seriously I think he liked you." Hyela poked her cheeks with her tongue. "He is getting on my nerves day by day."

Paige slid the bobby pin pinning a part of her hair up. "Well that's the actual thrill isn't it?"

Taehyung went out of his father's room and saw Jimin staring outside the window. He pats Jimin's shoulder. "Hey brother." Jimin just smile.

Taehyung understands that he must've feel tired over the two days ride volunteering for help with Kyungsoo and Namjoon.

"I heard you were courting my sister again."

Taehyung stares at the well-cared garden. "Were you mad?" Jimin shook his head smiling. "No. Just don't toy with her feelings."

He clasped his hands "She became like that when our mother left. She look tough in the outside, but on Eden's sake, she was an actual glass in the inside."

"She preferred to not love. Because if she did, she'll hold to it, cling to it like her life. Once she start to care less, your sweet talk mean nothing to her. She loved too hard or she doesnt care at all. Theres no in between. And that goes the same with me. "

"From the start we all acknowledged that Im the type to push all status.

Family or foe. Once you break her heart, I'll be your murderer."
