"Hello there, you're alone?" someone comes to Taehyung's side. He looks up on him and saw a smirking handsome lad, but not that handsome enough to beat Jungkook.

"Nope, I'm with my friend, champagne, and my shadow." Taehyung said as he walks past him, leaving the guy hanging.

One of his plan is to socialize with other people. But he kind of change his mind because most of them are just trying hard to flirt with him and mostly talks about business.

His eyes caught the different variety of foods in the very long table. He decided to walk towards the table when suddenly, a group of woman blocks his way, Taehyung groans.

"Hello there, would you like to tell us your name?" the girl with a braided hair asked.

"I'm Taehyung." he said and decides to walk past them, but one of them grips Taehyung's wrist.

He turns his head, "What?"

"Are you a woman? You have a very deep voi--"

"I'm a man with a prettier face than the rest of you." the group of women gasps, some clutching their chests like they're very offended.

Taehyung waves at them and turns his body towards the long table full of foods, again.

He's getting nearer to the food when suddenly, someone blocks his way, again.

Taehyung mentally slaps himself.
I just want to eat something, please let me be with the food by my side.

In front of him was an old man, white strands of hair starting to peak from his dark brown hair, an old woman, with a black gown, and beside her is a young man smiling very wide.

"Uhm, may I help you?" Taehyung asked respectfully.

"What's your name, my dear?" the old woman said, noticing the deep voice but shrugs it off.

"U-uhh, Taehyung.." he almost said like a whisper.

"So, Taehyung, what a wonderful name, we're really glad to see a beautiful lady like you." the old man said, smiling at him.

"Thank you," he said, bowing.

The old woman looks at him, confused, "You have a manly voice, are you a man?" Taehyung nodded in reply.

He thought that the family will dismiss him after the revelation but, no.

The old woman claps, happiness evident on his face. "Wow, it's okay, we're very glad to meet you. You'll be a very nice wife.. or a husband for our son!" Taehyung furrows his eyebrows and the guy beside them smiles at him, reaching out for his hand.

"Hi, Taehyung. I'm Minjae." he shakes hands with him, still trying to be respectful.

He doesn't want to act rude because he needs to maintain his posture after Minjae's parents said that he can be a good 'wife.. husband' for his son.

"Well, we're wondering, from what family are you from? We don't want to miss the chance to talk to your family to arrange the papers for the marria—"

"What? Marriage?" Taehyung said, shocked. That fucking quick?

They all nodded in unison. Even their son approves, what. "You know, a very beautiful man like you is hard to find these days. So we would like to have you for our son and we'll give everything you want. You can also have a better life on our side more than Prince Jungkoo—"

"Talking about me?" a calm but intimidating voice said behind Taehyung's back. The family in front of him didn't even notice that Prince Jungkook is near them, too focused on Taehyung.

"A-ah! Prince Jungkook," the whole family bows, Jungkook, now in Taehyung's side, looks at him.

Taehyung suddenly feels small in front of him and backs away for a distance, then bows.

Jungkook eyes him from head to toe, making Taehyung blush a little because of embarrassment. Cute.

"We're talking about business, your majesty." the old woman said.

Jungkook, still looking at him, continues, "Uh-huh, talking about marriage and giving him a better life more than me?"

The old man gasps, "T-that's not true! You overheard everything wrong!"

"Now you're lying," Jungkook deadpanned and averted his eyes away from Taehyung. He looked behind him and ordered his men. "Kick them out."

The family tries to free themselves from the tight grip of his bodyguards as they went straight to the front door, a lot of people looking at them.

Prince Jungkook hums and looks to his side, but gets confused since Taehyung is gone.

Well, Taehyung is heading towards the table and when someone tries to start a conversation that comes on his way, he walks past them fast because he's really hungry and the only thing that he admires except Jungkook, his parents, and the palace, is the food.

Meanwhile, the orchestra located at the left side starts to play a music, making a signal for the dance.

A lot of pairings started to dance gracefully, while Taehyung's focus is now in the food in front of him, his eyes filled with hearts. FINALLY.

He reaches for it when suddenly, someone holds his hand and pulls him away from the food.

NOT AGAIN! I just badly want to eat!

He looks to the person who did that and judging from his broad back, jet black hair, and clothes, he can already tell that it's Jungkook.

Prince Jungkook is tugging me holy—

Then he suddenly remembered the food as he looks to it's direction, now getting far away.

"Noooo~" he dramatically reaches his hand out, while getting far away from the food, earning a chuckle from the prince.
