Hushed || Taekook

chapter 4

*Deep sigh*

"I can do it I can do it I can do it" Jungkook chants to himself as he walks down the flower valley.

"All I have to do is to keep this box at its regular place and run away! It's not that hard- oh my god jungkook can you just GO?" His little Elf friend disturbs his nervous rambling, startling the already scared boy.

"I'm trying Hoseok! It's just that i- I get nervous every time I look at him- wait why are you still following me? Why can't you guys just let me have my private time!" Complains the prince as he pulls the mischievous Elf out of his pocket and harshly blows on him so that he flies away or at least stays at a distance.

"Now don't try to fly back" warns the brunette as he continues to walk towards his destination.

The flower valley breathes in beautiful. As he strolls past the gate, he's hit by the sweet and floral whiff. The air gets a little heavy with all of the flowery scents, it made him a little dizzy but jungkook is determined to do the thing he's done at least twice a week. He looks around a little, tiny birds are chirping lowly, ducks are floating around the ponds- picking at the bright colourful fishes. Rabbits, squirrels, white Peacocks and horses are lurking around at a peaceful phase.

Everything is bright. Jungkook thinks to himself as he tries to locate the pink-haired flower prince, who is incredibly tiny, delicate and sensitive to humans. The brunette finally manages to spot the said nymph.

He was prettily slumbering on a winged horse-like creature. Only his cheeks were visible from this distance. His head placed on the pegasus, he was breathing slowly and looked ever so calm.

Jungkook gulps.

"I'll make it quick" he says to himself as he makes his way to the sleeping beauty. He makes sure not to make his steps noisy as he might scare the nymph away.

Jungkook slowly and deliberately approaches him and puts the little box of macarons on it's usual spot which is right behind the sleeping boy.

Just as he was about to leave as he always does, something moves.

His heart stops beating for a moment, his throat feels dry and his stomach gets heavy. He decides to slightly move his head and look back.

Huge mistake.

The nymph was awake. His bright blue eyes staring right at him. Jungkook froze to his spot and forgot how to breathe.

Slowly, the nymph moves. His bright and luminous wings comes out and his bright pink hair transforms into a dull shade of grey as he stands up.

Jungkook is still unable to breathe.

They just stand like that, staring at each other.

"GOOD MORNING- oh you're awake?" Asks Hoseok as he enters Jungkook's room with a toothbrush and toothpaste in his hands.

Jungkook let's out a tired sigh and sits up. His hair looks like a bird's nest, which has been eroded. He looks at Hoseok and takes the toothbrush from his hands and gets out of the room without uttering out a word.

"Hey kookie, why do you still look so tired? Did you not sleep well last night?" Interrogates Jimin as he chews down the bread.

Jungkook is still zoning out.

Jimin hits the younger with a spoon.

"What?"

"I asked why do you look like you've lost all of your property and 12 wives"
