Taehyung went, and he went fast. He had to see him again. He had to see him again. It had felt like so long since he had seen him... so long since he had felt Jeongguk's touch. And now, he had the chance to change that. To finally see him again. To feel him again.

And he was not going to let that chance slip past him.

So why did his feet stop at the entrance to Jeongguk's door. Why did the soles of his shoes suddenly seem to be glued to the floor? Why did he start having second thoughts about going inside?

Maybe because he realized the seriousness of this situation. The ways this could backfire and.. and that Jeongguk might not want to see him.

Taehyung stood there at the door, hand hovering over it to knock, for a good few minutes. Then he said fuck it, and knocked three times.

Then he waited. For thirty seconds. There was no answer. Taehyung puzzled and wrapped his hand around the handle, turning it and opening the door gently, he peaked inside and.. there was no one.

Jeongguk wasn't there.

Taehyung bit the inside of his cheek and his shoulders slumped. Maybe this was a sign.. that they in fact weren't meant to be.

But Taehyung wouldn't accept that. He couldn't.  They were meant to be—they're had to be a chance of them being together. They were too perfect to not be.
But then again—maybe it wasn't the right time. Maybe they weren't meant to be together in this life..

Taehyung closed the door and was about to walk away but just he turned around he was suddenly met with Dohawn. Taehyung's eyes widened slightly.

"My Liege," The guard bowed, "Is there something I can assist you with?" He asked, still in a ninety-degree bow. He was not allowed to question the King, so instead he asked if he could help him. Despite wanting to know why he was in the staff apartments.

Taehyung gulped, "Rise," was the first thing he said, prompting Dohawn to stand straight again. "And no—well um," The King cleared his throat, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Your Majesty, is everything alright?" Dohawn asked, puzzled by the Royal's odd behavior.

"Yes, yes everything is fine. Thank you, but no I'm quite alright, was just taking a walk." Taehyung masked, smiling softly, trying to relax himself albite still being stiff.

Dohawn nodded softly, skeptical. Highly skeptical. He had many suspicions about the now King and his own commanding officer (of sorts) Jeon Jeongguk. Seeing as he was able to spot many little hints of things time after time. And this was just giving him more hints to.. the two's relationship.

Recently he had noticed how Jeongguk was so much more stiff. Dark even. And now—the King was stiff and even checking Jeongguk's room? Maybe he could be stiff about his Father's illness.. but it seemed to be a different stiffness.

Dohawn had a good knowledge of the two being childhood friends. Yes, everyone knew that fact. But Dohawn wondered if there was something.. else there.

There were rumors of the two being in a quarrel, so that might be it. But it seemed a bit more serious then that.

"Anyway, I'll take my leave now. Have a good day, Officer Dohawn." Taehyung interrupted Dohawn's thoughts.
