When Taehyung takes his kindergarten class on a trip to Disney World, he doesn't expect to walk away with a Prince of his own.
~~~
Too many people.
That's what Taehyung thought as he checked over his class as they stood in line for the photo op with Prince Charming and Snow White.
Too many people.
It was a breezy day in the park, not too cool but just enough wind to counter the heat of the sun. Taehyung hadn't been to Disney World in ages but when his class was recognized as top performers on their year end tests, he thought they deserved it. The 10 kids, ages 4 and 5, were so excited when they found out they would be going and really, Taehyung had been a little excited too. But after standing in line for what felt like forever waiting for one photo, all he could think about was how there were just so...many...people.
He was in the middle of doing a head count for the fourth time when his teacher's assistant, and best friend, interrupted him.
"They're all here, I promise," Jimin smiled.
"I know, I just don't want to lose someone's kid. You said the park isn't that busy on Tuesdays, now look at all these people," he said as he straightened the shirts of one of the students.
"It's Disney World, it's always going to be busy. It's just that Tuesday is less busy. Stop worrying and have fun," he said stooping down to fix the bow on one of the little girls hair.
"I am having fun. And it looks like the line is finally moving too which makes it even better," he huffed.
It wasn't long before they were next in line, the excitement growing among the children as they continuously fussed with their hair and clothes.
"Mr. TaeTae, is my dress pretty?" one of the boys asked him.
"Your dress is the most beautiful dress I've ever seen," he smiled as he gave his hand a light squeeze.
Up until then, Taehyung hadn't paid much attention to the two characters taking pictures. So when the photographer called them up next and he finally took a look at "The Prince", he was pleasantly surprised. It was as if time stopped when their eyes met as Taehyung ushered the children into their spots. The man was so handsome- no, gorgeous- that Taehyung thought he might've been a real prince. His hair was dark and long and his black eyes shone brightly in the sun, as if they were twinkling. And the smile, oh Taehyung just about melted. He knew the man spent hours smiling for hundreds of people but somehow he felt as though that smile was for him only. Taehyung was in love. He was so distracted that he even tripped over Jimin.
"S-sorry I just..." he said as he gave him a quick look, his eyes darting between the two men.
"Oh gosh here we go," he giggled and shook his head. Taehyung stood awkwardly in front of the pair trying to figure out where to stand, Snow White and the Prince interacting with the children and complimenting their various dresses and T-shirts and hair bows.
"And this is Mr. TaeTae! He said my dress was the prettiest!" he heard the little boy squeal.
"Mr. TaeTae was right!" the Prince declared in an animated voice as he locked eyes with Taehyung again. "The most beautiful thing I've ever seen," he smiled, never looking away.
Taehyung looked shyly as the man stood up to face him, his cheeks growing warm as he stepped closer.
"So how about a picture Mr. TaeTae," he smiled as he put his arm around his waist and pulled him close for the pose.
