Princess [TaeTzu]

Chou Tzuyu.

Taiwanese princess residing in Korea for protection. Her home country is under attack and with the alliance with Korean royalty, she's placed under their protection until it's safe for return. 

She sits on her bed as she really has nothing else to do. Tzuyu glances the guard outside her door. Her eyes roll as she notices it's not just any regular guard. It's the 3rd Prince, Kim Mingyu. She knows this isn't just a coincidence. 

Tzuyu heard the talks between her father and the King in Korea. They want to arrange a marriage to keep their alliance strong. She glances around her room to look for something to do as her mood worsens. Tzuyu mutters, "Why the 3rd Prince? At least marry me to the 2nd one. Who do they think I am?" 

Her eye then darts to a small window over her bed. She smirks as she makes sure the door is locked then proceeds to move a small table onto her bed. Thankfully, her arms are long enough to each so she ends up climbing out of the small hole. 

But, Tzuyu underestimates the height of the wall and ends up falling out of the high window. She shrieks and prepares for a heavy hit but it never arrived. Instead, a pair of arms hold her. She flutter her eyes open and suddenly blushes. 

The man says in a deep voice, "Mingyu-ya." Her "guard" runs to his side and stutters, "H-how did you get out?" The man helps her stand and bows, "Princess, you should stay in your-" Tzuyu interrupts, "I don't want to." 

Mingyu suddenly gasps as Tzuyu continues to keep speaking without filter. Tzuyu says, "It's hot, boring, and I feel suffocated." The man raises an eyebrow and asks, "Then what do you want to do?" She suddenly stops talking and the man sighs. He says, "Mingyu, you can go now. I'll take charge of the Taiwanese princess." 

Mingyu bows then walks away. The man says, "We should introduce ourselves." Tzuyu bows and says, "Chou Tzuyu. Only daughter of King Chou of Taiwan." The man bows and says, "Kim Namjoon. Eldest son of King Seokjin." 

Tzuyu freezes as she whispers, "E-eldest son?" Namjoon says, "I can't keep you company right now but I know someone who can. Do you know where the archery grounds are?" Tzuyu nods slowly and he says, "So I can trust that you head there by yourself? I have somewhere to be right now." She nods again and he smiles, "Good. Taehyung will be there waiting for you." 

With that he leaves, Tzuyu whispers, "Taehyung?" 

Tzuyu walks towards the archery grounds and notices that there are beautiful bows and arrows in display. She whispers, "They're made of gold." Suddenly a deep voice brings her to reality, "What do you mean I have to babysit?" 

Tzuyu turns to see a man in common clothing and a handsome face. He looks like a prince but he's not dressed as one. Tzuyu stands there in perfect posture as Taehyung glances at her. He whispers to the messenger, "Come on, look at her. She's so elegant, I bet she'd never shot a bow in her life!" 

The messenger bows his head and whispers back, "It's Prince Namjoon's orders." Taehyung sighs and says, "Alright, alright. You can go." 

Taehyung then approaches Tzuyu and bows his head slightly, "2nd Prince. Kim Taehyung." Tzuyu bows and says, "Chou Tzuyu-" He interrupts, "I know who you are." She suddenly freezes taken aback. 

Taehyung smiles and says, "With all do respect princess, I don't want to babysit right now so-" Tzuyu says back, "I don't care what you want or don't want." He smirks and says, "Okay, princess. You see that over there?" 

She glances at the bow and he says, "That is a bow and this is an arrow." He pulls out an arrow out of nowhere. He takes the bow and puts the arrow in as he says, "This is how you put an arrow in the bow. We use this to shoot people or animals." Tzuyu says back coldly, "I know what a bow and arrow is."
