My Prince (Taekook)

Chapter 5

Taehyung wakes up draped in a warm blanket. The small of lavender and roses hits him. His eyes dart around the room.

Why am I here? He wonders to himself. And why am I in someone else's bed?

"You're awake." A stern voice says. Taehyung turns to the source. Jeongguk stood in the doorway, leaning on the frame.

"Oh, Jeongguk." Taehyung says in realization when he realizes where he is. "What am I doing here?" He asks.

"The side effects of the butterfly got to you." Jeongguk explains.

"Oh. Thanks." Taehyung smiles.

"So," Jeongguk starts, "you'll have to be here every morning with breakfast and my morning tea and on time. After that you'll have to do all that I ask you of."

Taehyung looked at him with confusion for a moment then nodded. Taehyung got out of the bed and bowed. He raised his head and smiled. "Thanks again, Ggukkie."

Jeongguk smiled back, flashing a bunny smile.

"Wah Ggukkie," Taehyung exclaimed in amazement, "you look like a bunny."

Blush spread through Jeongguk's face. "What?! No I don't."

Taehyung laughs. "Yes you do."

Jeongguk pouts and crosses his arms. "No I don't." He mumbles. Taehyung laughs again.

"Wait what time is it?" Taehyung asks.

"Uh," Jeongguk looks at his watch, "6 in the afternoon."

"Didn't you have a meeting?"

"I went already. You were asleep for a few hours."

"Wait did you say 6?"

"Yes why?" Jeongguk raises an eyebrow.

"Woah." Taehyung exclaims. "I slept a long time." His gaze turns to the window.

Jeongguk chuckles. "Yes. Yes you did."

Taehyung looks into the charcoal eyes of Jeongguk's.

They were irresistible, just like the flower.

Taehyung stepped closer without realization. Closer and closer until they were only centimeters apart.

Jeongguk didn't move. He didn't want to.

Taehyung set his hands on Jeongguk's chest and leaned in. The soft lips of Taehyung's connected with Jeongguk's.

The seconds felt like an eternity. Taehyung leaned back and an immense amount of blush appeared on his cheeks.

Jeongguk looked at him, expressionless.

Jeongguk opened his mouth to speak then closed it again. His eyes turned away from Taehyung as Taehyung covered his face.

"I apologize." Taehyung says breaking the silence. He uncovered his face and looked at Jeongguk who still stood there, expressionless. "I-I didn't mean to- well I did technically- I shouldn't have done that. I don't know what came over me."

"It's fine." Jeongguk leans toward Taehyung's ear. "I wouldn't mind if you did it again." He whispers sending chills up Taehyung's spine.

In his mind Taehyung debated whether he was okay with this or if it was wrong. But in both situations he didn't seem to mind.

Jeongguk smirked. "I can make you do what ever I want you to, remember?" He whispered.

Taehyung debated what to say in his head. "Of course." He finally speaks. "Anything you want me to do, I will obey and do as I'm told."

Jeongguk rests his forehead in the crook of Taehyung's neck and laughs. "I've never seen someone this submissive."

"What?" Taehyung asks, interpreting Jeongguk's words wrong. Jeongguk raises his head.

"Sorry, that sound wrong." Jeongguk blushed. Taehyung laughed.

"Well I better get going." Taehyung waves.

"I can't figure him out hyung." Jeongguk says tossing and turning in Jimin's bed. Jimin sat in front of his mirror, fixing his hair.

Jeongguk rolled around so he was facing Jimin. He rested his chin on the palm of his hand while the other hand fiddled with an out of place strand of hair

"There's just something about him."

Jimin chuckled. "So you do like him?"

"N-No." Jeongguk blushed and looked away. He turned and put his face in Jimin's pillow. "Maybe." He says, his voice muffled by the pillow.

Jimin laughed again. "And you're bugging me about how I like a guard?"

Jeongguk rolls his eyes and turns his head the opposite way of Jimin. He spotted a picture on Jimin's drawer. He sat up and picked up the framed picture.

It was him, Uri and Jimin. They were their normal selves. Jeongguk serious as ever. Uri holding a bloody chain smiling. Jimin had a happy smile. His eyes were cresent as he smiled.

"I remember this." Jeongguk smiled at the picture.

"I haven't seen you smile in forever Jeongguk." Jimin commented turning to Jeongguk in his chair.

"Didn't Uri just knock someone out for not giving her ice cream when we took this picture?" Jeongguk asks ignoring Jimin's comment.

"I think so." Jimin turned back to the mirror. Jeongguk set the picture back down and rolled off the bed, landing on on floor. He sat up and laid his chin on the bed.

"Are you in love with Yoongi hyung?" Jeongguk asks. Jimin tilts his head from side to side, checking his hair.

"I guess you could say that." Jeongguk just stares as Jimin fixes the hairs out of place.

"What's it like?"

"What do you mean?"

"What's it like... being in love?" Jimin turns to Jeongguk.

"Well... it's complicated. And hard to explain."

"We have time."

Jimin chuckles. "You really want to know?" Jeongguk nods. Jimin smiles at his younger brother. "You're acting like a little kid all over again."

Jeongguk shoots a glare at Jimin. "No I'm not."

"It's not a bad thing. It's just ever since you met Taehyung, you've changed." Jimin makes his way onto the bed and sits on the edge opposite of Jeongguk.

"Could you explain now?" Jeongguk asks impatiently.

"Explain what?" Jimin asks confused for a moment. "Oh right. Well when you're in love," He begins, "you feel like you've never felt before toward someone. Butterflies seem to appear in your gut and your train of thought seems to stop completely."

Jeongguk lies on the floor, comprehending Jimin's words.

"Things seem to disappear and when ever you're close to the person or think about, your heart races. All troubles are forgotten with you're with them. Everyone else seem to not matter anymore."

Jeongguk listens with an unusual fascination.

"Well, that's what I can tell you. It may be different from what others say, but it's my interpretation."

Jeongguk lies there for a moment, thinking. He sit and flashes his bunny smile. "Thanks for explaining hyung."

"No problem." Jimin returns the smile. Jeongguk gets back on the bed, his back facing Jimin.

"Hyung?"

"Yes?"

"I think... I think I'm in love."
