I was sitting in a pool of water - Taehyung had said that it was being heated by some natural source underground and I was feeling more relaxed than ever before... even though he was still there, waiting for me just beside the pool that I was in... not letting me out of his sight.

"Tae I'm done... do you think you cou-could... like turn around?" I asked as he looked over to me and he simply shrugged, closing his eyes as he leaned onto the warm stone, looking like he was sleeping.

Good enough.

I took a carefully step out of the water, picking up a piece of cloth to dry my skin off, when I heard a small whistle - I looked up and shrieked when I saw that Taehyung was openly staring at me. I quickly tried to hide myself, bringing all the available fabrics to my front.

"Your body is like... just woah" he commented, going closer and I stared at him in a mix of panic and confusion as his hands came down to one of my legs - literally just feeling it up and down... what at the heck?

I tried to take steadier breaths, seeing as he wasn't actually attacking me or anything and he just awed at my figure... no one ever did that in my clan.

"Gorgeous" he whispered out quietly, too low for me to hear properly so I said "What?" and he glanced up into my eyes with a warm smile.

"You're more gorgeous than any of the women in our clan" he stated, his voice not sounding like he was trying to be flirty, just saying what was on his mind and I practically choked on my own saliva at his kind compliment... although I didn't know how to take it... as I was a man.

"I-ugh... thank you?" I tried to reply and he nodded, finally letting my leg go and I hastily pulled on the new clothes... and they were amazingly comfortable!

"This is so free and light" I whispered as I let it flow around me in a spin and he chuckled at my actions... but that didn't stop me.

"Come on gorgeous let's go and fix your living arrangements, as one of the head chief's sons - I could probably get you something real good" he interrupted my inspection of my new attire, making me snap my head up at his nickname for me.

"Gorgeous?" I repeated with raised brow and his lips quickly curled into a large grin, his whole demeanor was giving off waves of a prideful child-play of sorts.

"Oh, you wanna be called something else? Princess maybe?" he chimed in, leaning down to my eye level and I snorted at that, pushing his face away from mine...

I'm not a princess... I'm still a male, stupid Taehyung.

I could tell he was really just teasing me, but I huffed, puffing my chest out childishly and he chuckled, blowing me a kiss from where he was waiting for me.

"Princess" he sang quietly as we started walking towards where the huts stood built a bit tighter together and I lightly slapped his shoulder, mouthing for him to shut up when we got into an open area.

It was a large market place, where people who dabbled in seemingly different fields exchanged resources and I stared in amazement at the beautiful sight... we never had this sort of thing... not that my clan was as big to begin with... but we just had the simple set-up of that the most important people got the best stuff. Here everything was given to the ones able to afford it, no matter the status.

"What is this?" I asked as we passed a small blanket that had beautiful glimmering jewelry on it, the string and other objects were adorned with shining and colourful pieces of a weird material that I'd never seen before.
