"you will never have to be afraid of anyone ever again. because you belong to me now. and i take care of what is mine." "i will take good care of you," jeongguk said quietly. "i will give you a life better than anything you could have dreamed of. but you have to earn it. you have to prove that you are worth keeping. you have to show me every single day that you deserve to be mine. can you do that, taehyung? can you be good for me?" :: jeon jeongguk was 13 when he found a broken boy dying in the rain and decided to keep him. kim taehyung was 15 when he learned what it felt like to belong to someone for the first time. almost 10 years later, jeongguk is the king. taehyung is his servant, his guard, his sword, his shadow. everything taehyung is belongs to jeongguk. his loyalty. his strength. his heart. and jeongguk takes care of what is his. but when the former queen (jeongguk's mother) announces a princess for the king to marry, taehyung's world shattered. because loving jeongguk in secret is one thing. watching him marry someone else is another. jeongguk has other plans. he does not want a princess. he does not want an alliance. he wants taehyung. and he is willing to change the law, defy his mother, and fight the entire kingdom to have him. because taehyung is not just his servant. taehyung is his. and jeon jeongguk does not let go of what is his. :: sub-top-taehyung || dom-power-bottom-jeongguk :: royal au :: slow burn :: matured
