Chapter 3: Beautiful

“Why can’t you just magically pop into my room with me and just cuddle for the rest of the night and kiss my head when I start to fall asleep?”

Taehyung woke up comfortably on the prince's mattress. He opened his eyes, flinching when he saw the pair of eyes of the prince.

"Prince" Taehyung uttered shyly sitting down on the mattress.

"How was your sleep?" The prince inquired, touching Taehyung's right cheek.

Taehyung swallowed hard, internally scolding himself for sleeping in the prince's mattress and subtly leaning on the prince's touch.

"I-I'm fine prince, how about you? Did you sleep? Did I bother you?" Taehyung inquired biting his bottom lips, afraid that he might do weird stuff.

"I did, I sleep peacefully, waking up with you was so beautiful. You always made my day." The prince replied, smiling.

"I'm sorry my prince." Taehyung muttered ignoring the prince's reply.

"You don't have to, you should've changed, there will be a gathering in the castle and I want you there." The prince ordered.

"Why?" Taehyung asked confused.

"Because you're my servant and that's my order." The prince ordered.

Taehyung nodded his head as he left the prince's room.

"He isn't real?" Jungkook asked himself still looking at Taehyung's photo.

"Who's isn't real?" Yoongi inquired sitting Jungkook in the cafeteria.

"No one." Jungkook sighed closing the book.

"You reading that?" Yoongi inquired.

"Why? Did you know this?" Jungkook asked back.

"Yeah, that book interests me a lot, there's some curiosity about that book." Yoongi replied.

"What do you mean?" Jungkook inquired confused.

"They didn't tell the prince name but the servant almost pronounces it, it was like J-J-Jeong-- ah nevermind. I remember they both died in the end, their love story seems wasn't completed and it was tragedy romance." Yoongi explained.

"Servant and prince? Isn't that allowed back then?" Jungkook asked curiously.

"Yes, wait why are you curious? You hate history, right?" Yoongi inquired munching his food.

"Nothing, I'll go now." Jungkook sighed, leaving Yoongi alone.

Yoongi watched Jungkook leave him.

"Prince, you seem reincarnated like me."

Smirked plastered on his/her face when he/she saw Jungkook coming out of the cafeteria.

"Greetings and salutation for the prince of Silla!" Priminister yelled bowing their heads as the prince walked inside followed by his confederate and his servant.

The prince elegantly sat down on the throne with King and Queen. He was between them, his servant Taehyung was standing beside him.

"Your highness, may we inquire about this gathering?"

"My son, the prince, will be crowned hastily, I want him to choose a princess who will stay beside him and make her, his Queen." The King exclaimed.

"But the prince didn't show his face? Who's princess will stay with the unknown prince? They might didn't trust the prince."

"No one knows him, a princess can't stay with an unknown prince."

"The three Kingdoms surrounding us already sent their princess, the prince wasn't ready to show his face yet but once he'll get married, he'll show his face, let them in!" The King replied looking at the gate.

The princesses of Goguryeo, Joseon, and Baekje came inside. They wear nobility hanbok symbolizing their kingdoms, their hair tied beautifully, showing their elegancy.

"Prince, they are Princess Halyeon from Baekje, Princess Myun from Goguryeo, and lastly, Princess Pyeol from Joseon. You can start choosing between them." The King stated

The prince stands up, hands behind him, walking to the princesses standing in front of them with ministers and commanders surrounding them. He scanned them, carefully checking their faces.

"Are they the ones that beautiful princess you're pertaining to?" The prince inquired looking at them unsatisfied.

"Yes, prince." The King replied proudly.

"My servant was more magnificent than them, they seem prepared for this but my apology your majesty, I can't choose between them. I only choose if someone can beat my servant's beauty but I'm afraid none will do that because my servant was unique." The prince snickered which shocked everyone.

Taehyung looked down, wanting the floor to eat him alive, right now.

"Pardon, what are you saying? They're the most beautiful princesses you'll ever see." The Queen stood up.

The prince turns around, gazing at her.

"No, And my servant prove that. We will leave now, pardon me, your highness. Servant, come on, follow me." The prince grinned walking, bumping his shoulder on one princess.

Taehyung bowed down, following the prince who went outside of the hall.

"Prince, why did you do that?" Taehyung asked nervously.

"Did what?" The prince inquired innocently continuously walking.

Taehyung sighed, walking in front of the prince stopping him for a while.

"Saying I'm beautiful, don't you feel ashamed of that?" Taehyung replied inquiring.

"Why would I? I'm just saying the truth." The prince smirked passing him.

"You shouldn't say that to a servant like me. Lastly, don't you see how beautiful the princesses are in front of you? You can choose them." Taehyung sighed.

The prince stopped, looking at him with a smile on his lips.

"I'll say what I say, I'll do what I want. If I say you're beautiful, I'm not lying. Saying the truth doesn't sin, my servant." The prince winked at him starting to walk once again leaving the flushed Taehyung.

"But I'm not beautiful." Taehyung mumbled.

Jungkook was walking back to his house, he suddenly bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry, prince." Someone muttered, bowing his/her head and moving away.

Jungkook was confused yet he shrugged it off. When he arrived at his house, a boisterous sound welcomed him. He sighed ignoring it, knowing it was Jin who was playing V's music. He gets inside his room. He lazily laid on his bed and closed his eyes.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Jungkook opened his eyes and suddenly found himself in a different place, more like in a kingdom yet it was dark. He turned around, seeing a soldier with a lamp in his hand.

"Fuck, where am I?" Jungkook mumbled.

"How did you get inside? Are you an intruder?" The soldier inquired once again pointing the sword on his chest.

"No, shit listen to me, sir!" Jungkook immediately replied which confused the soldier.

"What are you? What are you wearing? Who sent you here?!" The soldier asked kicking his stomach.

Jungkook groans in agony, touching his stomach.

"What's happening there?"

Jungkook saw another soldier holding a torch coming to them.

"There's an intruder! Send him to the dungeon." The first soldier ordered.

The second soldier kicked Jungkook from behind, forcing him to kneel, tying his hands.

"I'm not an intruder for god's sake, listen to me you piece of shit!" Jungkook groans.

Yet the soldier ignored him, dragging him with the rope in his hands.
