Misery /✔/ Taekook

Chapter Eighteen

Jungkook jerked awake when he heard someone knocking on his door. The knocks echoed through his room and made him groan as he covered his head with his pillow, wanting just a few more minutes of sleep. The knocking persisted, ultimately making his mood plummet. Jungkook sat up groggily, blinking away the sleep from his eyes before yelling for whoever it was that boldly disturbed his sleep to come in. As he stretched, he glanced at a petite maid who quickly made her way towards Jungkook's bed, eyes wide and frantic.

'Don't tell me they ruined the kitchen again because of a dove...' Jungkook thought, remembering the time when one of his maids nervously denied him breakfast because a dove had gotten into the kitchen and they ruined the kitchen trying to get it out.

"What is it?" Jungkook asked tiredly.

"Pictures got out to the kingdom of you and your...lover?" The maid said as she handed Jungkook the magazine. In bold letters on the side was King Jungkook's Secret Lover?! with a picture of Jungkook leaning against who he could only assume was Taehyung but he was blocked out by a question mark but a page number was underneath their picture and Jungkook quickly flipped to it.

Anger surged through his veins as he scanned through the numerous pictures of him and Taehyung from the beach. Whoever took the pictures even managed to get Taehyung's face into the shots and gave away his identity which only made Jungkook even madder. He knew Taehyung wouldn't take this lightly and he also knew people would begin bombarding him questions that he wouldn't be ready nor prepared to answer.

"My god...who the hell took these pictures?!" Jungkook shouted causing the maid to flinch.

"We don't know sir, I found this magazine while at the market and I bought the entire rack to keep from others seeing but I'm sure there's more of them floating around, I'm sorry."

Jungkook read the paragraph beside their pictures and his face twisted into a deep scowl at the sentence "if our king is keeping such a big secret from us...what else could he be hiding?!"

"My personal life has nothing to do with them!" Jungkook growled as he threw the magazine to the ground, "I want you to order everyone to gather at the square and get things set up for me to have a talk with my people, immediately. Also, have my car ready."

The maid bowed. "Yes sir, do you still want your breakfast?"

"No."

Jungkook was seething as he hastily pulled on a pair of black dress pants and an indigo button-up shirt. He wanted to keep Taehyung a secret simply because neither of them was ready to announce their relationship publically yet. Plus, if the kingdom came to know that Taehyung may possibly be their new king, they would start dropping their problems on him as well and Jungkook knew Taehyung wasn't ready for all of that yet. When Taehyung "ruled" his old kingdom, he had absolutely no say in anything that went on and was simply a show-dog or trophy-husband for that deceased bastard. So Jungkook knew that Taehyung wasn't quite ready to take on such. Jungkook planned the make Taehyung a very active member of the royal family once he's welcomed into his family. Hell, he hasn't even been introduced to his family.

Jungkook was still very heated as he rushed out of his room and down the long hallway towards the mezzanine. Another maid was rushing in the opposite direction with wide eyes and stopped when she saw Jungkook.

"Your car is ready, sire," she said with a bow.

"Thank you," Jungkook said, reciprocating the bow as he rushed down the stairs and towards the entrance. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look a servant.

"I want you to find the creator of those magazines," Jungkook ordered and the servant quickly nodded and bowed.

"Will do, King."
