The Siren Servant

Chapter 11: Changes

Hoseok
       It's been a month, a month since I became an associate prince, a month since jungkook hyung became a knight, and a month since taehyung hyung heard me talk. Jungkook hyung became my main knight, the one that is assigned to me and Jimin hyung is my main servant. Since the incident where taehyung hyung heard me talk I've been avoiding him, I spent most of my time at kids castle or in the garden, I wasn't allowed to go into the woods, the king didn't allow me, said it was for my safety. If I did want to go into the woods I would have to bring taehyung hyung along and to be honest I wasn't ready to see him yet. I still didn't talk and though I was now a prince and could wear any color I liked I stuck with wearing white

(The outfit he is wearing)

this gave me a new nickname I was no longer known as 'the silent servant' or 'the silent prince', I was now known as 'The Silent Angel' throughout the castle for two reasons, one because I became deemed as the most beautiful prince in all of the kingdoms, taking jennie's place, and two because I loved to help people. I helped in the kitchen in the kids castle and it felt like nothing had changed. But things had changed, people started having to taste my food to make sure it wasn't poisoned, I couldn't leave the castle at all without guards or the prince by my side, the king always had his eyes on me, princess jennie started coming to the castle more often and clinging more and more onto the prince, though the prince usually ignored her, and me... I started developing feelings for the one man that was out of my reach, the prince. The reason why I had been avoiding him is not because he heard me talk, it was because I fell for him, the moment I saw him interacting with the kids at kids castle I fell for him. I know he is out of my reach, I'm not good enough for him. I was walking lost in thoughts heading to kids castle to do my usual volunteer work when I got grabbed by the wrist and pulled into a room where I was then pinned to a wall. I looked around terrified until I saw who was in front of me, it was the prince

"taehyung hyung, why did you do that" I said and tried to struggle out of his grip "why have you been avoiding me hoseok" He said, I didn't answer I avoided his gaze and looked around the room that I was now held captive in, it looked to be some kind of art room, littered with canvasses and pair brushes, half opened bottles of paint scattered everywhere. One of the canvases was covered in a tarp. Apparently he didn't like it that I was ignoring him, he grabbed my chin and turned my face to his, my breath hitched our lips were literally centimeters apart

"I asked you a question hoseok, why have you been avoiding me"  He said still holding onto my chin, I still kept silent he let go of my chin and got closer to me, I closed my eyes thinking that he was going to kiss me, instead I felt weight on my chest. I opened my eyes and saw him leaning on my chest "if I did something wrong I'm sorry, please don't avoid me anymore hoseokie you are one of the only people I have left" He mumbled into my chest, his hand was still pinning my wrists but with his head on me like that he looked almost vulnerable, I had never seen him like this. "Taetae hyung can you let go of my wrists, it's hurting" I said in my softest voice, he immediately let go and backed away "I'm sorry hoseokie" He said "I didn't mean… " Before he finished his sentence I pulled him into a hug, he was shocked at first but immediately hugged back letting out a sigh of relief "thank goodness, I thought you were avoiding me because you hate me" He said tightening his grip around me "no that's not it, it's actually the opposite" I said stroking my fingers through his hair. He looked up confused his eyes full of tears

"what do you mean hoseokie" He said, I sighed "I've been avoiding you because I've fallen for you" He pulled away looking at me in shock "I know you are out of my reach, you should marry someone that comes from a rich family, a Royal family, someone like me just doesn't belong on a thro…" Before I could finish my sentence I felt hands around my wrists again and his lips on mine, I was so busy talking that I didn't realize that he had come closer, I was shocked for a bit but then I started to kiss back. Our lips moved in sync, like they were made for each other, all too soon we had to pull away to catch our breath, he leaned his forehead against mine "you don't know how long I've been wanting you to say that" He said, I felt his breath against my lips "why have you been wanting me to say that" I asked him "because I feel the same" He said before pulling me back into his arms, we sunk to the floor holding each other close. We stayed like that for the rest of the day "sleep with me hoseokie" He said suddenly, I looked at him only to see him smile at my confused face

"I mean sleep in my room with me hoseokie" He said "I won't do anything love, I just don't want to let you go" He said planting a kiss on my head, I looked at him, looked into his eyes only to be met with pure love, I nodded, he smiled "then let's go to bed my prince" He said before dragging me up and leading me to his room, he gave me a pair of his pajamas to wear, we laid on his bed just hugging each other enjoying each other's love and company, until we fell asleep in each other's arms. Maybe some changes are for the better.
