Y/N’s POV
I was honestly in no mood of attending the damn press conference but I felt like I was obligated to after the mess I caused yesterday. I owe that much to my grandmother for helping me in my sneak out and siding with me against my mother.
I still believe it was all worth it for Taehyung. No matter how much I try to take him out of my crazy brain, he keeps coming back to me. His smile and the way he held my hand made my heart race. His eyes were that one thing that I couldn’t forget. They always reflected so much happiness.
I smiled at the thought as I slowly walked into my room after some horse riding and up to my closet to see two outfits already kept there neatly with a small note.
“Wear this for the press conference and wear the other one for the dinner. You will look stunning, I know it! Love, GamGam♡︎.”
I smile at the note and wear the dress which is meant to be for the press conference. Looking at my reflection in the mirror I set my hair up. I curl my hair in tight curls after which I apply some hair spray. I reach out for my eyeliner and mascara and quickly apply those before applying some lip tint. Looking at my reflection, I gave myself a satisfied look.
I sigh as I see my wrist empty. Where could my bracelet be? Keeping that thought aside for some time I shake my body slightly to get rid of any signs of nervousness. I look over at the time to see that there is still an hour left. I take a deep breath before going through everything in my head again.
{Meanwhile}
Third POV
Somi drove the car as all the boys sat their in their suits. Jungkook sat in the front seat while the others sat in the two rows at the back.
"Okay, Do you guys have your masks?"
Somi asked looking at the rear view mirror before focusing on the road again.
"This is the hundredth time you are asking us the same question, so yes we do have it."
Jungkook said rolling his eyes and Somi shook her head at him. Taehyung looked at the bracelet in his hand as his heart was racing in his chest. Jimin smirked at him.
"Can you stop acting like you are lovesick for god sakes." Jimin whispered to him and he choked feeling embarrassed as he put the bracelet back in his pocket.
"S-Shut Up. I am not lovesick!" Taehyung spoke and Jimin scoffed.
"Keep On telling yourself that Lover boy."
Jimin chuckled while Taehyung rolled his eyes, looking at the other vehicles passing by.
Somi turned the car and a huge palace came into view though it was still far.
"So That is the palace?" Jin asked with wide eyes as he pointed out of the window.
"Yeah, I am sure of it. I have been going there since the past 13 years." Somi said focusing on the road.
"It’s Huge!" Namjoon said and Somi chuckled while nodding. Taehyung’s gaze travelled towards the palace as he scanned every detail of it.
"That is your Juliet’s home, Romeo." Jimin whispered as Taehyung glared at him. Jimin shrugged as he burst into laughter. They reached right in front of the palace as the guards opened the huge gate. She parked the car and removed her seatbelt.
"Okay, So…first things first. Wear your masks for the press conference that is if you want to attend that, other wise you all can just wait in Y/N’s room." Somi questioned looking at all of them as they shook their heads.
"I think we should attend it." Yoongi stated making Somi nod.
Somi: Okay then, so after the press conference, there is the dinner. If there is no paparazzi and I think that will be after the first 15 minutes of it, then you can remove it and enjoy yourselves. There is still some time for the press conference so I think we can catch Y/N before that and you can return her bracelet.
She looked at Taehyung and he nodded slowly while fidgeting with his fingers. All of the members looked at him with soft eyes as Somi sighed turning back.
Somi: Lets go.
She said stepping out as all the members did the same. As the guards opened the huge doors to the palace, they smiled at Somi as they were used to her. The boys followed behind as she looked at the boys before nodding. Katherine walked out of one of the doors as she was talking on her phone. As her eyes landed on Somi she cut the call stepping towards her.
"Good Evening Miss Somi. Glad you could make it. I am sure princess Y/N would be really pleased." Katherine said as her eyes landed on the boys. She raised a brow and looked back at Somi. "I see you have company." She said glancing at the boys again.
"Y-Yeah. Anyways where is Y/N?" She changed the topic and Katherine sighed.
"She must be upstairs. Last time I saw her was the time she went to dress up after her horse riding. Haven’t seen her since. I should take my leave now, I have to deal with security check." She said and bowed before walking away.
"That was Y/N’s personal bodyguard Katherine." Somi explained walking up the stairs and all the boys nodded following closely behind. As they reached the first floor, they saw Yeonjun walking back and fourth while holding a book in hand flipping through the pages.
"Hi Somi Noona." He waved and Somi smiled.
"Hey kid. Where is your sister?" Somi asked and Yeonjun chuckled putting his book down closing it shut.
"She is in her room. She kicked me out and threw a pillow at my face because I was somehow “distracting” her." He raised his hands and all of them chuckled. Upon noticing The seven boys he looked at them in confusion. "Don’t Tell me that Y/N Noona got you seven bodyguards." He chuckled and Somi shook her head and sighed.
"It’s kinda a long story."
"You can tell me Noona. I am basically the second version of Y/N Noona, just more handsome, more wise, more calm and I can control my temper much better than her." He shrugged and Somi sighed.
"Y/N would kill you if she found out you said that about her. Anyways, boys, take off your masks for now." She said and they took of their masks as they smiled at him bowing slightly.
"You Guys seem familiar- Oh wait! You are that famous boyband BTS! OMO Noona loves you guys!" Yeonjun spoke excitedly and they laughed.
"It’s lovely meeting you Prince Yeonjun."
"It’s really an Honour."
They bowed and Yeonjun laughed.
"Don’t do that Hyung. You are making me feel too old and I am much younger than all of you. Wait can I call you all Hyung?" He asked and all of them nodded with a warm smile. His eyes landed on Taehyung as he chuckled.
"You must be Kim Taehyung. Am I right Hyung?" He asked and Taehyung furrowed his brows.
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"Y/N Noona-" Yeonjun stopped as he saw Somi shaking her head vigorously at Yeonjun.
"Do you want to die? " Somi asked and Yeonjun chuckled while shaking his head leaving Taehyung perplexed. "Okay Guys wear your masks again."
"How are they here anyways?"
"Well…You See…" She laughed nervously as Yeonjun crossed his arms over his chest. "Jungkook is My cousin." She blurted and Yeonjun raised his brow in amusement.
"Well you are screwed. Y/N Noona will be mad for sure because you didn’t tell her something this major and she tells you every single detail of everything. But the odds are that she might not get mad and might actually understand." Yeonjun shrugged and pointed at the door. "She is in her room. I will be get going now. See you at the Press conference Noona and Hyungs." He said and waved before making his way down the stairs. Somi walked to the door and put her hand on the door knob.
"Don’t act too formal with her. She doesn’t like to be treated like that." She reminded as a small smirk played on Taehyung’s face. Somi knocked on the door gently.
"Who is it?"
"It’s Somi!
"Get in here!" Y/N exclaimed and she slowly opened the door revealing a nervous Y/N who was pacing around the room as she fidgeted with her fingers.
"Oh God I can’t breathe. I don’t know what they will ask me! I don’t know what to do!" Y/N said as she looked at the ground pacing back and fourth in the room.
"Calm Down! It’s not your first press conference. You have been doing this since you were like 10." Somi said and Y/N closed her eyes as massaging her temples.
"But I know I messed up this time! I can’t justify something if I know I am at fault. I don’t even know how I will explain what I did."
"I am sure you can figure it out. You are stronger than that. You can fight this just like every time." Somi spoke encouragingly and Y/N looked up finally noticing the boys who were in the room with Somi as her eyebrows knitted together. Her eyes met Taehyung’s as she felt her heart beats quicken. She felt a familiar pull towards him but decided to deny the fact all together.
She hesitantly looked away from the mesmerising pair of eyes as her gaze was now fixed on Somi.
"Who are they?" Y/N asked and even before before Somi could respond she clicked her tongue. "Oh right…They are your special guests. I know I told you to bring a date but I didn’t expect you to actually bring seven."
Y/N giggled and Taehyung felt his heart flutter at the sound. "I didn’t even introduce myself. Hey guys, I am Choi Y/N, it’s nice meeting Somi’s seven dates." She laughed again and The members joined her.
"They are my friends and he…" She said moving towards Jungkook and grabbing his arm pulling him in front of Y/N. "This is my Cousin."
"Oh…I heard you were sick yesterday. I am glad you are better now." She smiled and Somi felt her heart clench as she sighed.
"See this is what I wanted to talk to you about…" Somi said biting her lower lip and Y/N furrowed her brows. She walked closer to Somi holding her hands and looking into her eyes.
"What’s wrong? Are you okay? You know you can tell me about anything and everything, you know that don’t you right?" She said and Somi nodded.
"Remember yesterday at the fansign, I was all worked up and tense. Do you know how I got the tickets?"Somi asked and Y/N shook her head. "It’s because Jungkook-" She stopped as a knock was heard on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It is your good lucking guy best friend. Let me in dammit!" The deep voice spoke from the other side. Y/N rolled her eyes and looked at Somi.
"Hold that thought." Y/N laughed before yelling. "It’s Open! Get in and don’t expect me to open the door for you idiot." She spoke and all the boys looked at her and chuckled at her unexpected casualties. Felix got in and looked at Y/N while scoffing.
"How Nice Of you. And FYI I am not an idiot you are!" Felix spoke sarcastically and Y/N punched his shoulder.
"Y/N-IIIEEEEE!" Nayeon barged in with Jackson behind her as she hugged Y/N tightly.
"I…Can’t…Breathe…" Y/N gasped.
"Back to dresses huh?" Jackson laughed and Y/N rolled her eyes. Nayeon let go of her as her gaze fell on the boys.
"OMO! WE HAVE GUYS IN Y/N’S ROOM! OMO THEY ARE SO BUFF! OMO I AM TAKING ONE OF THEM! OR MAYBE TWO!" She squealed in one breathe and was about to attack the boys but Y/N grabbed her before she did.
"Not So fast!" Y/N said and Nayeon pouted Making Everyone laugh.
"Anyways it’s time to go. Your grandmother told us to call you downstairs. The conference is starting in 5 minutes." Jackson said and Y/N’s eyes widened.
"OMO! LETS GET GOING!" She said and ran out of the room while Felix, Nayeon and Jackson dashed behind her. Somi sighed feeling her chest getting heavier.
"How will I tell her?" Somi whispered and Jungkook put his hand on her shoulder.
"It will be okay cuz." Jungkook said as he give her shoulder a light squeeze and she nodded her head before all of them walked out of the room. Taehyung’s heart was beating rapidly against his chest. She was looking even more beautiful than he imagined. The dress hugged her body making her look angelic than ever.
As they walked into the room, Y/N walked over to the pedestal while the others sat down on the seats. The flashing of the lights made Y/N’s breathing heavy. She rubbed her empty wrist and then took a deep breath. One of the butlers cleared his throat before announcing.
"You can now start the press conference."
Many news reporters raised their hands and Y/N exhaled sharply. She was about to choose one when suddenly the announcer spoke. "THE KING SUHO & QUEEN JUDA HAVE ARRIVED." He spoke loudly as everyone got up from their places. They both walked in with their arms linked. As they passed each row of seats, the people standing bowed down respectfully. Upon reaching close to Y/N King Suho’s eyes softened as he gave her a reassuring nod while Queen Juda maintained a calm expression and smiled at Y/N. King Suho turned back to the rest of them as he nodded at them and all of them sat back down.
Y/N’s eyes met with her grandmother’s who was present their way before anyone. She gave her a reassuring look and mouthed a “ GOOD LUCK” to her.
Y/N inhaled and exhaled before turning to the reporters who still had their hands raised. She pointed at one of them commencing the press conference. The lady reporter got up as she flipped her hair over her shoulder with a smug look before speaking.
"Princess Y/N, what were you doing their at the fansign yesterday?" She asked straight to the point and a light hearted chuckle escaped Y/N’s lips confusing all of them.
"Well, you don’t go shopping at a fansign now do you? You tell me what do you do at a fansign. I think everyone knows that much. " Everyone laughed as the reporter looked down embarrassed before sinking down onto her seat. Taehyung smiled at her witty reply looking at her encouragingly though he knew she couldn’t see him. "Anyone else…? You!" She pointed at another reporter who nodded before getting up and clearing his throat.
"Princess, Why did you go undercover to the fansign in the first place and what was the reason behind you going?"
Y/N smiled slightly as she leaned closer to the mic.
"Let me ask all of you, what would you do if you were in my position? If I didn’t hide who I was, I would draw too much attention concluding in me being the centre of attention and not the idols who had worked so hard on the fansign." She said factually and all of them nodded while the whole of Bangtan smiled through their masks at her words. Y/N continued to speak with a small smile. "I always wanted to live a normal life and to be honest I never ever got that. I was always had to keep my family, our reputation and our stature above everything and that included my happiness and wishes. I try to give my best and my family has worked hard to earn the reputation that they have today. I have always sacrificed everything for the throne but just one day when I decide to live a normal life, I am questioned. Let me ask all of you why? Why do you judge my freedom and my happiness. The reason why I went to the fan sign was because I wanted be treated like a ordinary youngster for once in my life time. I want to ask all of you, what have I done wrong if I just decided to be normal for once?" She asked looking around the room as the room became silent.
"That’s what I thought. I hope your question has been answered. Anyone else? You." Y/N pointed at a middle aged woman who was smirking at her before asking.
"Why were you wearing a cropped top? We understand that you were trying to go undercover but-"
"First Of all, no one here has been called to judge my fashion choices. This is a free country and I am not the first ever girl wearing a cropped top am I? We have to be a bit more open minded. Narrow mindedness really isn’t appreciated here." Y/N spoke with an eyebrow raised and the woman became silent. She sat back down and before Y/N could pick someone one of the reporters spoke again.
"Are you dating one of the BTS Members?" The reporter asked and all the BTS Members snapped their heads in Taehyung’s direction who was focusing on Y/N. Y/N chuckled.
"I wish, but I think they can have much better and prettier girlfriends and might even have them. But please don’t make such assumptions until there is a proper announcement." She said while laughing and Taehyung’s eyes softened. He was looking around as he saw many eyes raking her body up and down making him clench his fist. All he wanted to do was walk up to her and drag her out of there, away from everyone’s eyes but he was holding back.
"Are You A part of the BTS ARMY?"
"Yes actually, I support the group’s music and just how they are always themselves." She smiled and Taehyung cheeks heated at her words.
"Princess Y/N, We have found out that you are getting engaged to Mr. Byun Baekhyun. Is this true?"
Y/N’s smile dropped as her hands balled into fists. She snapped her head in her mother’s direction who looked away while her grandmother nodded. Taehyung’s heart clenched and he looked away.
"No comments." She spoke coldly but the reporters' curiosity only grew.
"But we have found out that your mother is not willing to let you take over unless you get married."
"Since when have you known Mr. Baekhyun? His father is the owner of the Byun Company and he is the CEO himself."
"We have heard that you both have been friends for long? When did you both start dating? Are you dating at all?"
Y/N breathed heavily as Somi saw the visible anger on her Best friend’s face and whispered.
"Uh Oh. She is mad."
"I thought this press conference was dedicated to the event that took place yesterday, so if there are no questions regarding that we can end it right here. Thank you for your time." Y/N said exiting the place with anger all around her sending chills down everybody’s spine. The King And Queen left soon after and Chatter filled the room. Queen Erica approached Somi as she saw her standing with Bangtan along with Felix, Nayeon and Jackson. Upon noticing her presence they bowed.
"I see you all have brought a few guests of your own." Queen Erica smiled at BTS as they seemed flustered.
"Oh Yes. Actually this is my cousin and those are his friends." Somi introduced and Queen Erica nodded.
"I am proud of Y/N, she handled it very well and now I am sure she can be an excellent queen, I am sure her grandfather would agree." She said as she looked up at the ceiling as everyone smiled softly at her. "Somi, kindly check on Y/N. It was her mother’s idea to talk about her relationship with Baekhyun in front of everyone. You know that she is a bit uncomfortable talking about this topic."
Somi nodded knowingly before all of them bowed and headed for Y/N’s room. Standing outside her room, they heard a few loud thuds coming from Y/N’s room and Somi opened the door in a hurry as panic consumed her. The door opened revealing Y/N punching a pillow repeatedly and a few photo frames were on the floor. She rushed over to Y/N holding her arms.
"Hey! Calm down! It’s okay! You handled it too well!"
"I am just sick of it Somi! I don’t want to get married!" She said and jerked her arms away from Somi as her gaze met the boys who looked shocked. Taehyung looked at her frustrated state with a heavy heart. She sighed and sat down on the bed crossing her legs. "So much for my first impression huh?" She chuckled and Jin shook his head.
"We understand. Must be hard for you." Jin said reassuringly and Y/N smiled.
"It is harder than it looks sometimes but when you get a hang of it, it seems like a routine thing." Y/N waved her hand when realisation hit her “Wait, I don’t even know your names, we never got a proper introduction.” She said and slowly got up from the bed as she looked over at Somi.
“Yeah, about that…Promise me you won’t be mad at me?” Somi said and Y/N furrowed her brows looking confused as she tilted her head.
“Okay…I won’t, I promise.”
“There is something I haven’t been telling you…” Somi began as all of them listened to her intently.
“Do any of us know?” Nayeon asked and Somi shook her head.
“Damn! It must be serious then.” Jackson said and Felix leaned against a wall. Somi walked over to Y/N and held her hands.
“Take off your mask.” Somitold them and they slowly removed their masks revealing their faces. Y/N’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped as her eyes were fixed on Taehyung. KIM TAEHYUNG WAS IN HER ROOM! “Jungkook is my cousin.” She said and Felix snapped his fingers.
“I knew it! I f**king told all of you didn’t I?! Who is the smart one now!”
“Not now Felix!” Jackson exclaimed and Felix rolled his eyes.
“BTS- I- In my room- God I am hallucinating…must’ve had a long day. My brain is messing with me.” Y/N spoke, shaking her head and Nayeon laughed.
“Oh it’s real Y/N. JIN OPPA!” Nayeon yelled and hugged Jin tightly while Jin struggled to breathe.
“Wow….You…have a tight…grip compared to your small body…” Jin gasped unable to breathe. Y/N stood their in shock as her eyes were stuck on the floor.
“It’s just a dream Y/N. You will wake up. Yes you will.” She said and all of them looked at her with a weird expression except Somi.
“You are not mad at me are you?” Somi asked and Y/N was pulled out of her trance trying to shake of her shook state.
“Of course not. I am a bit upset that you couldn’t tell me sooner but I get it. Having an idol cousin and not being able to brag about makes it harder.” Y/N chuckled and Somi pulled her into a hug. Y/N Hugged back gently rubbing her back.
“Thank You for understanding Y/N-ah. I don’t deserve you.”
“Eh, not everyone can be as lucky as you. You are gifted my child.” Y/N teased and Somi laughed pulling away.
“I think you should meet them now. And FYI this isn’t a dream.” Somi said and all of them burst into laughter as Y/N rolled her eyes.
“Okay…So Hey. I don’t have much to say to be honest just that there are a few things that you should know. Firstly, never call me princess Y/N or I swear to god I will throw hands.” Y/N said with a calm face and the boys raised a brow in amusement. “Second of all, I am not at all as I portray myself, if we are gonna be friends which I still don’t know since we didn’t even get to talk properly but if by any chance we are going to be friends, expect the unexpected and don’t expect me to act all princess like.” She said and pinned her hair up. The boys nodded and she looked at them with a smile. “Well then, I still can’t believe my favourite boyband is in my room but I will hold my excitement in. So let’s get to know each other since there is still some time for the dinner. You all are staying for dinner right?” She asked and they nodded. She smiled happily.”That’s great! I’ll make sure you enjoy yourself. Take a seat all of you.” She said and all of them sat down while Taehyung sat beside Y/N on the bed. Y/N fidgeted with her fingers as her cheeks tinted crimson.
“Y/N…Remember your Knight in Shining Armour?” Felix teased and Y/N glared at him while Taehyung looked at Felix curiously.
“Who is that-“
“I will help you shut up if you fail to keep that big mouth of yours shut, Lee Felix.” Y /N threatened and Taehyung looked at Y/N as he saw her face taking in every feature. He had never seen her this close. He leaned closer to Y/N’s ear and whispered.
“It’s Nice to meet you again.” He whispered with his deep voice sending a chill down her spine. "Now I know why you wore a mask and why you wouldn’t remove it." He said and Y/N turned to look at him with her cheeks flushed.
"Well…It’s easier to wear a mask rather than being chased by the paparazzi." She said and giggled trying to cover up her flustered state while Taehyung just smirked. He leaned in closer as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I still believe that your face is too beautiful to be hidden." He said and Y/N choked on air as she started to cough. Everyone looked at her confused as they did not hear the conversation.
"Are you okay?" Somi asked and Y/N nodded while getting up.
"Y-Yeah! Perfectly fine. I am just tired you know." She said and laughed awkwardly. Taehyung chuckled, finding her shyness adorable.
"I know you already told me but I still want to ask you…the dinner is formal right?" Jackson asked and Y/N waved her hand about.
"Kinda, I mean there will be at least 60 to 70 people present. Which reminds me that Baekhyun is coming too." She said with a smile and Taehyung looked at her with an eyebrow raised. Just then a knock on the door was heard. Katherine walked in as she bowed down to Y/N and Y/N smiled.
"Princess, Queen Erica told me that the dinner is starting soon. So she wants you to change into that dress that she got you. I also had to remind you regarding your schedule for tomorrow. " Katherine said and Y/N waved her hand.
"I don’t want my ears to fall Of Katherine. I am already exhausted. Just tell me tomorrow." She whined and Katherine laughed.
"Alright then. Be ready for the dinner though. You need to be downstairs soon. And Queen Erica asked for you to bring your acquaintances too." Katherine added glancing at the 7 boys before walking out of the room. Y/N turned back to see all of them looking at her with curious eyes.
"You still believe that I am the most handsome in the group?" Jin asked and Y/N giggled.
"I meant it. I swear." She said and he grinned proudly.
"I BELIEVE YOU ARE HANDSOME TOO OPPA!" Nayeon hugged him tightly again and everyone laughed at her behaviour while Jin gasped feeling her tight grip.
"T-Too…Tight…" Jin gasped and everyone laughed.
"So Y/N, do you have a boyfriend?" Jimin asked and Y/N looked away with a shy smile.
"This sack of potatoes was asked out by many people in college but she ditched all of them. I don’t think she has ever been in a relationship. Felix commented and Y/N glared at him.
"I have!"
"Okay Tell me who then."
"Well there was this one time…"She said and paused. "Fine whatever." She spoke crossing her arms over her chest. She walked over to her closet grabbing the dress which was neatly kept in the closet.
She walked into her bathroom closing the door. Zipping the dress she looked at herself in the mirror as she pushed her hair back. Applying her lip tint she looked at herself and then she Remembered how Taehyung is still in her room making her cheeks heat up.
"OMO Y/N! Stop blushing! Stop it!" She scolded herself and took a deep breath in and out. " Just relax and be yourself." She said and a small smile took over her face. She breathed out and slowly opened the door to the bathroom getting out.
Upon noticing her presence everyone looked at her with their jaws dropped and eyes widened. Y/N folded the outfit she was wearing neatly as she kept it back in one of the drawers.
"Well damn princess!" Felix said breaking the silence.
"What? Too much?" She asked turning to look at herself at the mirror while putting her hair behind her shoulder.
"You look perfect!" Nayeon said in a shrill voice as she clapped her hand.
"I agree. You look great." Jungkook added.
"Are you sure that you are just dressed up for a dinner and nothing more?" Jackson teased and Y/N shook her head slightly. Taehyung looked at her and smirked before saying.
"You look beautiful Y/N." He said and Y/N snapped her head in his direction as her cheeks were heated once again.
"T-Thanks." She stuttered and Somi And Felix exchanged looks while smirking.
"What else do you like about her Taehyung?"
"Yeah, what else do you like about her?"
They asked teasingly and Y/N shot them a glare.
"S-Stop it Guys-"
"What is there not to like? I like every single thing." He cut Y/N off looking straight into her eyes while all of them Hooted making Y/N clutch her fist as to not freak out on the spot. She broke the eye contact as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"W-We s-should g-go. We have to g-go out after that too, I hope you all Remembered." She said changing the topic. Somi, Jackson, Felix and Nayeon nodded.
"YOU GUYS SHOULD JOIN US TOO!" Nayeon reccomended in excitement and Y/N sighed.
"They are busy people Nayeon, I suppose they must be having much more important things to do and we shouldn’t take too much of their time-"
"We are free!" Taehyung said and all of the looked at him questionably. He laughed awkwardly. "I-I mean it’s an opportunity to learn more about each other. I think we should do it since we took a day off anyways. Right guys."
"Yeah sure." Jimin smirked at Taehyung who glared at him.
"O-Okay then. Time to head downstairs. You can ditch the masks. No paparazzi is allowed at such dinners. These dinners are only their for the sake of formality. Bragging is a thing my mother is fond of." She shrugged and all the BTS members laugh at her remark. She walked out of the room to one of the dining halls, all of the others followed her behind. The guards open the door and Y/N sucked in a sharp breath as she plastered a smile over her lips.
Walking in she spotted her grandmother as she gestured everyone to follow her. She walked upto her grandmother and wrapped her arms around her hugging her tightly.
"Thank You for the dress."
"You look Beautiful sweetheart." Queen Erica said and they both pulled away. Y/N moved a side making Bangtan come into view.
"GamGam, this is BTS, my favourite boyband." She said and all of them bowed making her grandmother smile at them.
"What a good looking bunch of boys." She praised them and they smiled at her. Somi looked at them gesturing them to introduce themselves individually.
"I am Namjoon."
"My Name is Yoongi. It’s an honour meeting you."
"I am Jung Hoseok ,your highness."
"I am Jin and it’s lovely meeting you queen Erica."
"I am Jungkook."
"I am Park Jimin. Thank You for having us here tonight."
"I am Kim Taehyung, my Queen." He bowed and Queen Erica raised her brows in realisation.
"So You are the famous Kim Taehyung." She said and Y/N’s eyes widened as she looked at her grandmother shaking her head vigorously.
"Yes, your highness."
"You are as handsome as they say. May god bless you Child." She said and Taehyung smiled while nodding his head. Queen Erica winked at Somi and Felix while all three of them broke into laughter looking at Y/N’s flustered state. "Please treat yourself with the appetizers. The buffet has already been arranged so you can dive in. I hope you all enjoy and Y/N…" She turned to Y/N who looked at her while tilting her head. "You mother and father are a bit busy with a few officials who are here at the dinner. If you don’t want to encounter them, don’t go around your parents otherwise there will be a whole set of perverts openly hitting on you."She warned and all of them chuckled. Queen Erica said her share of goodbyes as she moved away to greet the other guests.
Suddenly Y/N felt a tap on her shoulder as she turned around to see Baekhyun. She smiled brightly as she hugged him.
"OMO HI!" She said hugging him tightly while All the members stared at them in confusion.
"I am loving your enthusiasm. Seems like today has been going extremely well." He says breaking the hug and she nodded. She looked back as she saw the confused faces of the members. She wrapped her arm around his shoulder has she brought him into everyone’s view.
"Guys, this is Byun Baekhyun. My childhood friend and so called ‘FiancΓ©’." She finger quoted the words FiancΓ© and everyone laughed except Taehyung whose eyes seemed to have darkened. Y/N’s eyes met Taehyung’s as she saw his blank expression. His gaze was intimidating which brought a shiver down Y/N’s spine. He looked away and Y/N frowned but decided to shrug it off.
"I heard you nailed the press conference. I am so proud of you." He said hugging from the side while Taehyung’s gaze was fixed on Baekhyun’s arm that was wrapped around her. "I apologise that you were put on the spot because of me today by the end of it. I don’t know how all those rumours got out and we aren’t even engaged." He said apologetically and Y/N shook her head with a smile.
"It’s not your fault. Just one of my mother’s tactics to force her decision on me but I couldn’t thank you enough for being so understanding."
She gave him a friendly hug as he lifted her off her feet hugging her back tightly. They looked like the perfect couple on paper and all of the people that saw them together knew that. Taehyung’s heart ached as he looked at them. This pain was unusual for him, he barely knew her, they had just met a day ago but it felt like he had known her his whole life.
"Okay now put me down!" She said and he chuckled before putting her down. You could see the adoration in his eyes as he stared at her. His gaze was soft and comforting. Taehyung clenched his fist and his eyes grew darker with each passing second.
"I am going to grab a drink." Taehyung said lowly as he walked away with his hands in his pockets. Jimin followed behind him as Taehyung made his way to the drinks counter. He leaned against the counter as he asked the bartender to get him some red wine. Jimin joined him as he got himself some champagne.
" Why did you want to drink tonight?" Jimin asked looking at him curiously and Taehyung shrugged.
"Just craving to let go a bit. They say drinking helps to take away the stress." He said lifting the glass to his lips before taking a huge gulp of the intoxicating liquid.
"Are you sure it has nothing to do with your Juliet?" Jimin asked trying to lighten his mood but Taehyung’s grip on his glass just tightened.
"I barely know her. I don’t care about what ever she does or whoever she is with. It’s none of my business." He took another big gulp as Jimin shook his head at him before taking a sip of his sparkling champagne himself.
"So you wouldn’t mind if Baekhyun kissed her right here, right now?" He asked and Taehyung looked at him, growling lowly.
"Don’t push it Jimin. I am not in the mood for this." He said as his eyes darkened once again and Jimin chuckled.
"And you say you don’t care? Look at you, you are like a little lost puppy and you barely know her. Do you still believe you are not affected by her being in a relationship with anyone?" He asked and Taehyung shut his eyes in annoyance. He knew Jimin was right but he didn’t want to admit it to him…or to himself. Just as he was about to answer him, a voice broke him away from his trance.
"So how are you guys liking it so far?" Y/N's voice hit his ears making Taehyung snap his eyes open. He looked at her smiling figure looking at both of them and he looked away taking another sip of his drink.
"Its great. Thanks for having us here Y/N." Jimin said and Y/N smiled brighter.
"It’s okay, I should feel lucky that I got to invite you guys here." She smiled at them and Taehyung felt his heart melt at that smile but he didn’t bother looking at her again. Y/N looked at Taehyung, expecting him to say something, anything at all. His deep voice could make her heart warm in an instant and she really wanted to hear it but he remained silent making her smile fade slightly as she shifted her gaze back to Jimin.
“How does it feel like being an idol?” She asked and he chuckled.
“It’s just a routine in a cycle mainly. There are photo shoots and recordings but otherwise it’s just Practice, practice and practice!” Jimin said and she giggled at his words which made Taehyung crack a smile but he hid it by placing his glass of wine to his lips again.
“How is it like being a Princess?” Jimin reciprocated the question and she smiled knowingly.
“Well, I have been doing this since I was a child. One mistake and I knew that my mother would kill me. So I tried to never ever make a mistake. But after moving to college I realised that it’s okay to let go sometimes and that’s the time I found my true self.”
“Noona!” Yeonjun said as he approached the trio enthusiastically and Y/N looked at him with an eye brow raised. He stood in front of her and reached his hand out to her. “Will you dance with me?” He asked and a chuckle escaped her lips. She nodded as she looked over at Taehyung and Jimin giving both of them a small smile before turning back to Yeonjun and placing her hand in his. He pulled her near the orchestra that had started playing a few ballads as Yeonjun put an arm around her waist and the other hand intertwined with hers.
“So you finally met the Prince of your dreams huh?” He asked as he spun her around before making her face him again.
“Don’t say it like that.” Y/N whispered feeling embarrassed and Yeonjun chuckled.
“But you still met him, the man you always dreamt about and always talk about…”
“It doesn’t matter anyways, he didn’t even talk to me and we barely know each other. Maybe I miss judged him as an open person while in real life, he is actually really quiet…” She said in a saddened tone and Yeonjun smiled knowingly while they moved in sync.
“You always taught me that everything takes time. If he doesn’t talk then give him his time and space to talk to you. It will work out don’t worry.” He said encouragingly and Y/N smiled as her gaze roamed around the hall to see Taehyung’s eyes fixed on her figure. Their eyes met and this time she looked away as she put her attention on her brother and nodded in agreement.
“You grew up too fast Yeonjun-ah! It was fun teasing you when you were shorter than me.”
“Who is shorter now?” He teased and they both laughed while they continued to dance. Y/N felt Taehyung’s intense gaze on her but he decided to ignore it at the moment.
Taehyung took a huge sip of his drink as he saw Y/N dance with her brother. He spun her around and the smile on her face made his burning heart cool down.
“Why didn’t you talk to her when she came here?!” Jimin asked and Taehyung tore his eyes from Y/N momentarily to look at his best friend blankly before shifting his gaze back to the princess who was making him crazy.
“I didn’t have anything to say.” Taehyung shrugged causally and Jimin smacked his head from behind.
“You still have her bracelet you idiot!” Jimin rolled his eyes and realisation hit Taehyung like a truck as he quickly put his hand in his pocket. He took the bracelet out as he looked at it making his heart calm and his gaze turned from dark to soft. He looked at the bracelet before glancing at Y/N who was laughing with her brother. “You could’ve asked her to dance too. She wouldn’t have said no and maybe then you guys could talk.” He scoffed at Taehyung’s stupidity and gulped down the sparkling champagne in one go. Taehyung put the bracelet back in his pocket looking at Y/N once again.
“Who said I can’t do that now?” Taehyung said with a smirk and Jimin raised a brow at him.
“What are you plotting?” Jimin questioned but Taehyung walked towards Y/N without responding to him. He walked closer to her as he looked at Yeonjun who smiled upon noticing his presence.
“May I borrow your sister for a dance?” He asked and Yeonjun’s smile grew wider while Y/N’s cheeks flushed upon recognising the voice. Her back was facing him so he couldn’t see her flushed face.
“I think she can answer that question better. I will leave you two to it.” Yeonjun smiled letting go of Y/N’s waist as he left both of them. Y/N turned around as she looked at his eyes which were already looking at her. She smiled at him and he reached his hand out to her.
“May I have this dance Y/N?” Taehyung asked and Y/N shyly put her hand in his with a slow nod.
“You May.” She said softly and A smile grew on Taehyung’s lips as he put his arm around her waist bringing her close to him. She put one of her hands on his shoulder while the other hand lay on top of his. Their bodies swayed from side to side when Taehyung decided to break the silence.
“I am sorry about the fansign.” He whispered into her ear and she rested her head against his chest as her body was pushed flushed against his making both their hearts beat faster and faster.
“It’s okay Taehyung-ssi. It wasn’t anyone’s fault but mine. I should be apologising for ruining it for everyone.” She said and Taehyung shook his head as his grip around her tightened as he pulled her as close as he could but he possibly couldn’t.
“Do you want to talk somewhere quieter?” He asked and Y/N lifted her head from his chest as their eyes meet.
“What if people realise that we are missing?” She asked and Taehyung chuckled.
“I think they are too busy to even notice.” He looked around to see many couples dancing along the soft ballads as his gaze shifted back to Y/N with a small grin. Y/N sighed thinking about it though her heart was racing in her chest at the thought of them.
She looked up at him who was already looking at her, waiting for her answer. She nodded and he grinned wider than before. His box smile was evident which melted Y/N’s heart.
“Tell me which way is the back door to this room…” He asked glancing around the room as their bodies continued to sway from side to side. Y/N looked over his shoulder as she gestured towards the door which was on the other corner of the room. “Okay, just follow my lead.” He whispered into her ear. His voice became even deeper when he whispered and it made her even more shy than before. Y/N nodded her head and Taehyung continued to dance with her. Their bodies moving in sync as he slowly led her towards the back door while they still continued to dance.
Upon reaching the door they both stopped dancing. Y/N grabbed Taehyung’s hand looking on both sides making sure no guards spot her as she quickly opened the door and dragged him out.
She looked around deciding where to go as she saw the huge garden. A thought struck her mind as she gripped his hand running to a corner.
She soon stopped and Taehyung looked around as Y/N pushed a small wooden gate. It opened revealing a hidden garden as the large lake shimmered under the moonlight.
“Come On.” She gestured for him to follow her into the hidden place while closing the gate. He followed behind her as she was still holding his hand. She walked near the lake and let go of Taehyung’s hand. She removed her heels as she put her feet into the cool water. “Sit down.” She told him and he did just that. Both of them stared at the moonlight that shimmered through the lake.“I love coming here. I come here whenever I need to clear my head.” She said as as she moved her feet back and fourth in the water and Taehyung looked at her.
“Must be hard for you to deal with so much. Being a princess means having loads of responsibilities on your shoulders.”
He pointed out and Y/N chuckled.
“Sometimes you just need to learn how to be a fighter. You have to fight for yourself and if you fight hard enough, you can survive.” She said as she stared at the shimmering night sky.
“I wonder how it must be living a life of an Idol.”
She tilted her head at Taehyung who was already looking at her.
“It’s okay once you get a hang of it. You just need to go with the flow and be confident.” Taehyung sighed and Y/N nodded looking back at the water.
“I heard you are getting engaged”. He said blankly and Y/N sighed looking down at her feet as she moved then in a back and fourth motion.
“Yeah, I don’t want to get engaged.” Y/N shrugged as Taehyung snapped his head in her direction looking at her in confusion.
“Why is that?”
“Because…Just…I don’t know really.” She shrugged and A husky chuckle escaped Taehyung’s lips.
He looked at her once again before asking.“Then why not just go for it?”
Y/N shook her head looking down at her lap.
“I can’t. I mean Baekhyun is nice and is successful but that’s not what matters to me. I don’t feel that way about him. I love him as a friend but nothing more. I want to marry someone that I fall in love with and not get married with a childhood friend only because of familial pressure.” She said and Taehyung’s heart softened at her words. He sighed as he looked at her side profile which was looking at the night sky with curious eyes. “I never asked you, do you have a girlfriend?” She asked as she turned her head to face him. He looked at her with an eyebrow raised.
“No. I am waiting to find the right one for me.”
“Who might that be?” She asked as her eyes focused on his face. He looked straight into her eyes and smirked. He took her hand in his as he intertwined their fingers.
“I will tell you when I find out.” He said and she broke eye contact, looking at her lap as Taehyung looked at her hand in his and pulled her closer.“I had to give you something.” He said and Y/N looked at him confused as he put his hand in pocket. He slowly pulled the bracelet out and Y/N’s eyes widened.
“That’s my-”
“You dropped it at the fansign yesterday.” He cut her off as he held it in his hand. She looked at him with wide eyes as she felt relief wash over her heart.
“May I?” He grabbed Y/N’s wrist and Y/N nodded. She moved closer to him and now there was no space between them as they both sat in front of the lake.
Taehyung grabbed her wrist and placed the bracelet around it before finally attaching the hook at both the ends.
“I got the hook fixed. It was slightly lose.” He said while rubbing the back of his neck and Y/N smiled shyly.
“Thank You. You didn’t have to do that.” She said looking at his hand which was still holding her wrist.
He rubbed his thumb against her wrist and spoke. “I got it fixed because I wanted to do something for you.”
“Why?”
He leaned closer as he put a unruly strand of hair behind her ear as he searched her eyes which were rounded and glossy, looking right back into his. He felt intrigued by her somehow and his body leaned closer. He was close to her face as he saw her eyes innocently observing his each and every move as his hand cupped on of her cheeks. “Because…” He said but he felt something that didn’t let him finish as he moved closer. His breath fanning her lips making her heart nearly leap out of her chest. She couldn’t believe what was happening. She was still unsure of what was happening when his eyes looked at her lips before looking back into her eyes. He placed one of his hands behind her neck as he pulled her closer to him, Y/N’s eyes automatically closed and he slowly leaned closer. He was about to place his lips on hers but...
“YAH! CHOI Y/N! WHERE ARE YOU- OH GOD!” Felix froze as he covered his eyes With the BTS members and All Of Y/N’s Friends behind him.
They stood there with their jaws dropped to the floor as they took in the scene in front of them.
“We didn’t mean to interrupt you guys…” Somi cooed and Both Taehyung and Y/N flinched as they moved apart.
Y/N quickly stood up and dusted her clothes before turning around to face her friends. Taehyung followed as he stood up and turned around, he was close to beating whoever interrupted them. Y/N’s eyes looked at Somi and Felix Who were smirking at her while Taehyung’s eyes met Jimin’s who looked at him with both his eyebrows raised in amusement.
“W-What are you guys d-doing here? “ She stuttered and all of them burst into laughter making her cheeks heat in embarrassment.
“We came to call you both. We are leaving for our night out.” Nayeon rose a brow and Y/N looked away.
“We couldn’t find either of you inside so we decided to look around, never thought we will find both of you…together.” Jackson emphasised the word and Y/N’s eyes grew wide as she hiccuped covering her mouth. It was her habit that whenever she got too shy she started to hiccup.
"I-Its not that….uhm… it’s just-….Uhm… W-We should go." Y/N stuttered as she walked over to Somi before grabbing her arm and pulling her along and out of the small garden, Everyone hooted as they followed behind leaving Jimin looking at Taehyung mischievously.
"Cute." Taehyung muttered as he looked at her figure as Jimin walked over to him, wrapping his arm around Taehyung’s shoulder.
"First you say, you barely know her and the next moment you are about to kiss her. You are so damn confusing Tae!" Jimin spoke and Taehyung chuckled as he looked down at his hands before looking back at her figure whining at Felix at a distance.
"She made me this way and I wouldn’t change that." Taehyung spoke as a chuckle escaped his lips.
"What are you saying- Yah! Wait for me Taehyung-ah!" Jimin called out as Taehyung started walking towards the rest of them while smiling at her flustered face. Upon reaching close to all of them he heard Nayeon yell.
"OKAY! TIME FOR SOME KARAOKE EVERYBODY!" Nayeon said everyone cheered and hooted. Taehyung looked over at Y/N’s smiling figure and mumbled.
"I can’t wait to get you alone again Y/N…"
