Chapter 10: The prince

“Thank God someone threw me away so you could pick me up and love me.”

Jungkook was still thinking about what Jin told him. He was trying to find out what really happened before he woke up. He knew Jin wouldn't lie to him, he saw how serious Jin was when he was asking him. Besides, he trusted his hyung.

His thoughts interrupted, he flinched when someone hit the back of his neck.

"Yahh, dude what's wrong with you? You seem thinking about something deep." Jimin uttered and put his hand on Jungkook's shoulder.

"Good Morning to too, hyung." Jungkook retorted with sarcasm, rolling his eyes.

"Seriously, what are you thinking about? I never see you interested. What's the tea?" Jimin snickered.

"It's nothing, and it's not about porn like what's inside your brain." Jungkook replied while they were walking in the hallway.

"You're genius, you know what's in my brain." Jimin giggled.

"Go away now, I'm in my room." Jungkook said when they arrived at his room.

"Bye, see you later!" Jimin chuckled and leave Jungkook alone.

Jungkook sighed, shaking his head, and went inside his room.

Meanwhile, in the past, Taehyung was with his friend, Miao. Jeongguk doesn't want him to do work but he refuses. He wants to help his friend and he missed Miao too. He was sure Miao was worried about him.

In the end, Jeongguk let him do what he wants. But he had to make sure he just work around the prince's area which Taehyung immediately agree with.

"Did you hear the gossip?" Servant Miao asked while they were carrying a box of herbal medicine.

"What gossip?" Taehyung asked curiously.

"The soldier caught an unusual people roaming in our kingdom." Miao retorted in a hushed tone.

"What do you mean?" Taehyung asked setting down the box on the medicine in the stock area.

He turned around to look at her confusedly.

"He was too different from us, he was saying weird words. He is like us but his clothing wasn't like us, he was strange. That's what I heard." Miao explained.

"It must be a fake rumor." Taehyung sighed

"I'm not sure, but they said he was in the dungeon, and tomorrow when the sun has risen, the king will confront him." Miao replied.

"Let's not mind that, we have to finish this. Besides, I'm sure the King will solve it." Taehyung soughed and went back to their work.

"By the way, where did you go last night? These days you often go somewhere. I'm worried about you." Miao suddenly asked.

"I'm with the prince." Taehyung replied while feeling fluttered.

"I'm sure he makes you do work a lot, that prince doesn't have the heart to let you rest at least a day." Miao soughed shaking her head.

"That's not it, noona, he took care of me so you don't have to worry about me. I'm doing fine with him." Taehyung retorted.

"If that's what you say, by the way, I have to go to the dungeon to serve food for the prisoner. Would you like to come with me? I need some help if you don't mind." Miao inquired.

"Sure, I'll help you." Taehyung retorted.

Jungkook went into the restroom since he had to pee. He got inside the one stall. He peed, he stood up to zip his pants but when he looked up. He was in the dungeon once again. He thought it wouldn't happen again but he was in this place.

When the sun has risen, Taehyung went to the dungeon while carrying a huge compartment with bread inside it. He was also bringing a torch while walking inside. Miao was on the other dungeon.

He flinched when he heard a cough, he gulped following the sound of a cough. Taehyung reached the last cell, he nervously looked at the prisoner.

He was confused when he saw the unknown man wearing odd clothes. The man coughing saw the light, he looked at Taehyung. Jungkook crawling near at him, he held the cell bar, weakly standing.

"H-help m-me!" Jungkook stuttered weakly, he slid his hands in the cell bar trying to reach the frozen Taehyung.

"I-I can't." Taehyung gulped, he was trying to get a proper look at the man's face.

His eyes widened when he remembered that it was the prince? But why he was locked?

"H-help m-me, tuh-they will kill me." Jungkook uttered trying his best to speak.

Taehyung was moving backward but Jungkook held his wrist, Taehyung flinched and gasped in disbelief. Suddenly, the man in front of him disappeared.

His eyes widened, cold sweats forming on his forehead, he rubbed his eyes trying to assure if he was just dreaming but he wasn't.

"Who are you?"

Taehyung nervously looked at his right side, seeing the guard with the lamp.

"Servant, what are you doing here?" The guard inquired walking to him.

Taehyung gulped when the guard looked at the cell.

"Where's the intruder here? Did you let him run away?" The guard asked sternly glaring at him.

"Nuh-no I--"

"Servant, you'll come with us! This is such a big crime for letting the intruder escape, you will be headed off." The guard declared

He harshly grabbed Taehyung's arm, forcing him to walk.

"No! H-he disappeared a--"

"You'll come with us, that's it!" The guard glared at him.

Taehyung being afraid kicked the guard's groin, he yanked off the guard's hand running away.

"Anyone inside this stall? Please open it!"

Jungkook gasped, he shook his head when he just realized he came back to the stall. He immediately opened the stall with students looking at him confused. He left going to the parking lot, getting inside the car to go somewhere.

Taehyung suddenly was reckoned for the crime he never did. When he was running away from the warriors of the King. He turns to his back seeing them chasing him, but when he looks his way, he bumped into something and everything went black. 

He woke up due to the boisterous sound. He opened his eyes seeing the shining light of the sun. He blinks for a few times to adjust his sight.

"Hey, you fucker! What the heck you're doing in the middle of the road?!"

Taehyung sat down, rubbing his head, he roams his eyes finding himself in an unfamiliar place. He was surrounded by a foreign creature for him.

"Get up, dude!"

Someone yelled getting out of his car, walking near to Taehyung. He was wearing black shades, a yellow top, and white pants. He removes his shade looking at Taehyung. Taehyung finds the man good-looking.

"Don't stare, get up, your blocking our way!" Jungkook snarled since he was already late.

Taehyung gulped, feeling anxious, he doesn't know what should he do.

"Stand up!" Someone yelled once again, honking the car.

Taehyung flinched covering his ears with his hands, looking at the man with teary eyes. They had a staring contest, hazel innocent eyes, and stern brown orb eyes until Jungkook sighed.

"Fuck this shit." Jungkook muttered grabbing Taehyung by his hand and pulled him.

Taehyung let the fellow dragged him. Jungkook pushed him inside the car as he also got inside in the driver's seat.

"Wear your seatbelt." Jungkook uttered.

Taehyung looked at him and Jungkook widened his eyes. He met him again, he was real this time.

"Y-you!" Jungkook stuttered.

"D-do you know me?" Taehyung asked confused staring at him.

"The fuck" Jungkook mumbled tugging his hair, he not gonna lie, he was amazed at Taehyung's deep yet charming voice.

"What did you say?" Taehyung asked once again.

"We'll go somewhere, yeah? Just behave and don't do anything, understood?" Jungkook ordered peering at him.

Taehyung nodded his head, Jungkook fastened Taehyung's seatbelt and started his car.
