Taehyung's step-mother and step-brothers treat him like garbage, despite the fact that he never misbehaves, has great grades, and always has dinner on the table on time. When it's announced that the younger Prince Jeon is looking for a husband, Taehyung cares more for going to a ball and getting away from his life for a night than he does for meeting a future spouse. After his step-mother burns his brand new suit, Taehyung accidentally summons Yoonie, his fairy godmother. The fairy helps him get to the ball, where he meets a mysterious man. A kind man who doesn't treat him like he's a servant, who respects him, and even defends him. Taehyung never meant to fall for anyone, but he can't help how he feels.

Ages:

Taehyung - 16 | Jimin - 17 | Jeongguk - 21 | Yoonie (Yoongi) - 22 [873] | Hoseok - 23 | Namjoon - 24 | Seokjin - 25

~~

Taehyung's father died when he was 9. His step mother moved him into the basement and that's where he's lived since then. He's spent the last seven years doing whatever his step-mother desired. He cooks, he cleans, he aces his classes. He has no friends, has never been kissed by someone outside his family, and isn't sure what he'll study in college.

It's a Sunday morning when the announcement is made. They're in church; Hyuna is praying for a new, rich husband, Sanha is praying for a young, rich wife, and Kai is praying to meet Prince Jeon. They're the same prayers they've been reciting for years and Taehyung knows them all by heart. He doesn't express any prayers when he kneels at the altar, instead worrying about how he's going to get the potato's Hyuna asked for with the money she provided. No doubt he'll have to do something distasteful.

His mind is ripped from his thoughts as the pastor claims there's an announcement from the royal Announcer.

"Good day, citizens. Two weeks from now, there will be a ball. King Jeon asks that all eligible males present themselves as the younger Prince Jeon will be looking for a husband. Please arrive at the castle at noon for sign in."

Taehyung knows Hyuna won't allow him to go, so he immediately tries to forget about the announcement.

Sure enough, the woman selling the produce says she'll exchange the potato's for favors. He spends the next fifteen minutes with three fingers inside her, working her to an orgasm. The instant it starts to rip through her, Taehyung pulls his hand away from her and washes her juices off.

"Thanks again kid. Take the potato's."

On his walk home, he runs into Jimin. Park Jimin is his best friend, and also his crush. The smaller boy bounds up to him, wrapping him in a tight hug.

"Taehyung, you'll never guess what happened today!"

"I heard about the ball."

Jimin laughs. "No silly! Knight Kim finally asked to court me! He's so handsome! My dad wasn't sure about it since the announcement during church, but I begged him to say yes. I promised him that it would work out."

"You don't know that it will, Jiminie."

"It will. I can just feel it. Those dimples are going to keep me happy for the rest of my life." Taehyung is happy for his best friend, but sad for himself. He'd always hoped that Jimin would realize how he felt, which was silly because Jimin can't read minds. That didn't stop the blonde from crying himself to sleep that night.

The next twelve days are hectic. Hyuna promises Taehyung he can go to the ball with Kai, as long as he's still at the top of his classes and not behind with his chores. He never wanted to go, but the closer the day comes the more excited he becomes. Jimin told him how fun the last ball was; how kind the Princes were and how fun the dancing is.
