Royal Lesson |KTH x JJK|✓

~13~

It's been about a week and the red royal has definitely improved though he doesn't want to. As he goes through, he quickly learns that soon there will be a point where Jungkook simply can't teach him anymore material. It'll be perfecting knowledge he already knows, which he can do by himself. Which means he'll go back to his kingdom.

He doesn't want to.

Taehyung likes waking up and having breakfast with the Jeon royals, and even seeing Jimin's happy smile while he skips around the castle. He's had a few conversations with Yoongi and he didn't hate them, he found that the two were pretty similar and had lots of things in common. He didn't see Yoongi much because although he had a room in the castle he still preferred saying at the village during the night.

And Jungkook.

Taehyung has grown accustomed to the prince. He's used to his perfection and respectful manner. He finds himself looking forward to lessons just because he gets to spend time with the brunette.

Cutting off his thoughts abruptly, Taehyung scoffed and threw the book he was reading next to him on the bed. Why does he have to wait for a lesson to see Jungkook? Huffing, he got out of the rather cozy bed, throwing his double doors wide open. He walked swiftly through the halls, ignoring the fact that he actually walked without dragging his feet and slouching. He didn't want to acknowledge that he was starting to act like royalty because he didn't want to be one.

He shut his thoughts out once again as he stood in front of the Jeon Prince's bedroom doors, hoping the younger was inside. Taehyung didn't know what he was going to do, he just hated that his stay was based on when Jungkook wanted to see Taehyung.

He knocked, setting his face into a rather unreadable expression. The doors opened moment later and Jungkook's fingers could be seen as he gripped the edge and pulled the door back to reveal his head tilted to the side, looking as innocent as a bunny.

"Prince Taehyung...? What are you doing here?" He asked, doe eyes wide in surprise.

"I don't know. I was bored." The redhead shrugged, glancing around curiously. Jungkook's hair was wet and plastered to his forehead, beads of either water or sweat slipping down his face. "Can I come in?"

"Uh..." Jungkook mumbled, a pink tint rising to his cheeks. Taehyung raises an eyebrow, smirking lightly. Cute, he thought.

The older shrugged and pushed past the door, strolling into the large room casually. From behind him he heard Jungkook somewhat squeal and shut the door frantically.

Taehyung turned around and sat on the younger's bed, finally looking up. He was shocked at the sight, a little flustered too, but he fought hard to keep that suppressed.

Jungkook had nothing covering his top half, exposing his well built chest to the older sitting a few feet in front of him. Droplets of clear liquid ran into the depths of his solid abs- Taehyung couldn't tell if he had just came out of the shower or if he had finished some sort of exercise. He always wondered how the younger kept his body in shape, he's never seen him work out before.

"So what were ya doing?" Taehyung asks after clearing his throat, realizing he was staring for way longer than he should've been.

"I was in the sauna when I heard someone knocking on the door. I quickly put on pants thinking it was a maid." Jungkook admitted as he smiled sheepishly.

"Ah, that makes sense. And how come I've never heard of this sauna?"

"I didn't think about telling you. Doesn't your room have one?"

"No... should it?"

"I'm not sure. But would you like to join me then Prince Taehyung?" Jungkook said,  thinking it would be kind to offer.

"Actually, yeah, I haven't been in a sauna since... since a long time ago." Taehyung chuckled, following the grinning Jungkook into the connected bathroom. It was large and had double sinks, a walk-in shower, a separate closed off area for the toilet, and off course the small sauna in the corner.

"Wow, this is nice."

"Thank you. The maids work hard to keep the castle clean and I'm very thankful." Jungkook says calmly, smiling sweetly. He grabs two towels, handing one to the older while keeping one for himself. "You should change in my room since you have more to take off and you can leave your clothes in there. I'm sure the maids will come by and collect them."

"What will I wear back then?"

"We can ask for an extra set of sleepwear."

"Okay."

Taehyung left, following Jungkook's instructions and allowing him to change in private. The older did so quickly, excited to try out the sauna again. He remembered the way the hot air felt, making it hard to breathe but he enjoyed the pressure because it made his head feel light and free, so for a little bit he got to think about things other than being a royal and the responsibilities that came along with it.

Taehyung knocked on the door and opened it, walking over to Jungkook who was waiting patiently near the sauna door with his hands folded politely in front of him. Taehyung tried hard not to look at the younger as he was basically naked, every inch of porcelain skin on display besides the important bits that the towel thankfully covered. Taehyung hummed when he noticed Jungkook struggling to do the same. Taehyung wasn't nearly as fit as Jungkook was, but he was softer and Jungkook liked that. He liked how squishy and mellow the other royal's tummy looked, how smooth and warm it must feel.

"Let's go." Jungkook said, opening the door to let a large cloud of steam billow out. Taehyung smiled and happily stepped in, Jungkook following after and closing the door from the inside.
