Chapter 20: Found out

And in my dreams
I will always find
My way back
To you

The King and Queen were confused about the prince, they noticed that the prince kept leaving at the night. They suspected something was wrong with the prince.

"Did you find any suspicious about the prince?" The queen asked the hired lookout for the prince.

"I found him in the forest, he was bringing something, look like visiting for someone. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to follow him farther, I don't know where he was going." The lookout Hongdung replied.

"I want the truth as soon as possible, his wedding with the princess will happen promptly. I want him to stay here and communicate with the princess." The queen ordered while standing on her throne.

"Don't worry majesty, my corps was already searching for the whole area of the forest, we'll going to find any place where might the prince can hide." Hongdung explained.

"Good, tell me what you find out." The Queen ordered.

"As you said, majesty." Hongdung said bowing his head.

Jeongguk brought food and a cloak for Taehyung, he went to the abandoned house, knocking on the wooden door. The door opened, he saw Taehyung who roamed his eyes around making sure no one followed Jeongguk.

"Come inside, prince." Taehyung uttered as he opened widely the door.

Jeongguk smiled getting inside the house. He removes his cloak and his mask.

"What are you doing here, prince? It's still early." Taehyung inquired following Jeongguk.

Jeongguk turns around, extending his hand with the gift.

"I brought this for you, check it." Jeongguk replied.

Taehyung confusedly took it, sitting down on the oak wooden floors. Jeongguk sat down in front of him. He opened it, untying the tie on the cloth cover.

He saw food set inside, he looked up at Jeongguk who simply smiled at him. He settle the food on the table, he noticed a black cloak neatly folded.

"What was this for?" Taehyung asked.

"That's a cloak, I ordered my tailor to do that. You can wear it when you want to go out, I'm sure, staying here was boring." Jeongguk stated.

"You don't have to do this, prince, I can take care of myself." Taehyung uttered biting his bottom lip.

Jeongguk grabbed Taehyung's right hand, his left hand below Taehyung's hand, and his right above Taehyung's hand.

"But I want to do this, I know you can take care of yourself but I'm your lover now, you have to be used to it. I want to take care of you, so please, let me do this." Jeongguk stated.

Taehyung crawled in front of Jeongguk, hugging him tightly.

"Thank you for this, Jeongguk." Taehyung uttered looking at the prince.

Jeongguk smiled, cupping Taehyung's cheeks.

"I'll do anything for you, my love." Jeongguk stated.

He closed their gap, his lips crashed on Taehyung's soft one, fully claiming his lips. He slowly pulled Taehyung's waist to bring him in his lap. Taehyung slightly opened his mouth as the prince's slid his tongue inside.

Jeongguk's grip tightened around Taehyung's waist while Taehyung clutched his fingers on Jeongguk's hair.

Taehyung closed his eyes, arching his head when Jeongguk roamed his tongue around Taehyung's wet and warm cavern. He slightly pulled away, foreheads attaching, saliva binding in their lips. He stared at Taehyung while they were panting heavily.

"We have to stop or else we ended up doing something." Jeongguk huskily said, tucking Taehyung's hair behind his ear.

Taehyung opened his eyes, innocently seducing Jeongguk.

"It's okay my prince, I'm ready." Taehyung replied, his warm breath fanning against Jeongguk's lips.

"Are you sure about it?" Jeongguk inquired.

"I do, my prince, besides, it's not our first time doing it." Taehyung seductively sneered while untying the fiber on Jeongguk's hanbok.

"You will regret it." Jeongguk smirked, standing up, carrying Taehyung.

"I won't." Taehyung grinned as Jeongguk carefully laid him on the mattress, hovering on top of him.

"As you say" Jeongguk snickered, attacking Taehyung's lips once again.

And, something happened to them again, not just one but yeah, a lot.

Later on, Jeongguk went back to the palace with the mask on his face after Taehyung was done eating the food he prepared.

Meanwhile, Taehyung covered himself with Jeongguk's cloak which Jeongguk left earlier. He was still flustered because of what happened, he seems needy for Jeongguk's body.

He was sitting on the mattress, biting his bottom lip due to embarrassment. He almost squealed thinking of it. He flinched when he heard a knock, he was confused, did the prince go back? But the prince just left, the prince barely went back.

He stood up, slowly walking on the door. He opened it, his eyes widened when he saw the head of the parliament.

"Kim Taehyung, you're under arrest for prevaricating against the palace. You've to come with us and surrender." Hongdung stated while showing his emblem.

The two guards beside him came to Taehyung, tying his body with the rope. Taehyung without any choice but have to come with them. He got dragged out of the house wishing that Jeongguk will come.

Jeongguk was roaming around the palace with the princess talking nonsense. He doesn't want to be with her but his parents force him.

"What do you think about it, prince?" Princess Halyeon asked with a smile form on her lips standing beside the prince as they watched the falls in front of them.

The prince came back to his senses, peeked his head at her.

"What? Did you say something?" Jeongguk inquired confusedly.

"I'm talking for so long and seems your not listening to me, Are you perhaps thinking of someone?" Princess Halyeon inquired.

"You don't have to know whom I thinking right now." Jeongguk annoyingly replied.

"I'm sorry my prince, I was just talking about if we got married and what you'll name to our future prince." Princess Halyeon explained.

"Don't overthink, it might harm you." Jeongguk stated.

The princess seems taken aback by his words. Yet, she tried to know the unknown prince well.

"My prince, why are you hiding your face behind that mask?" Princess Halyeon inquired.

Jeongguk just ignored her, not liking her question.

"Prince, you'll be my future king, may I see your face?" Princess Halyeon inquired once again.

Jeongguk glared at her, she gulped as she felt his intense glare. However, she raised her hand, trying to reach his mask but before she can touch it, Jeongguk held her left wrist, stopping her.

"Know your limits, it's up to me if I'm going to marry you or not. You're lucky I didn't kill you yet." Jeongguk uttered venomously sending a shiver down to her spine.

He yanked her hand, walking away from her, leaving the princess shaking in fear.
