Running
The tapping of feet could be heard through the empty corridor as a slender frame ran pass, clutching onto something tightly.
The person's breaths were shallow, as that person came to contact with a wall.
The person touched a part of the wall, and it opened slightly enough for the person along with the thing their holding, to slip through.
Only after the person reached the other side did he release the breath he was holding.
Kim Taehyung
I'm finally safe
He looked at the small thing tucked securely in his arms and smiled for the first time in a while.
Kim Taehyung
We're finally safe. 😊
The child stirred but didn't wake up.
Kim Taehyung
I will protect you...
He whispered ever so softly into the child's ear.
The crouched down onto the floor, placing his head close to the wall to hear what was happening outside.
It didn't take him long to hear a rush of footsteps thumping through the corridor, searching for something, searching for someone, searching for him.
Kim Taehyung
Well, at least they won't look for me here
In this entire castle, this room is always closed, and the key is kept with the king, his father, so there would be no coming in here to search.
He placed the child on the bed and tucked her in securely.
Kim Taehyung
(No on will searched here for father is the one that has the key and the passage I came through is unknown to anyone else.)
Kim Taehyung
We'll get through th-
Taehyung was so startled by the sudden voice that he froze in place.
To his knowledge, this room was supposed to always be closed, and his father was the one who had the key, and that person just said "his room."
With trepidation and fear gripping his heart, Taehyung slowly turned around.
Man
Isn't this the crown princess who's supposed to get married tomorrow?
The room was dimly lit, so Taehyung couldn't see the man's face clearly, only from his nose down.
Taehyung could clearly see the amused smirk on his face, and it was also clear from his tone of voice.
Kim Taehyung
Who…who are you?
Man
Do you always barge into random people's rooms in the middle of the night, and question their identity?
Kim Taehyung
For your information, this is my castle, and you are my guess. I have all right to know who you are.
Taehyung lifted his chin, not waving nor faltering at the unexpected hiccup in his plan.
Man
*chuckle* Hmm princess~
His deep chuckle echoed off the walls of the room like a beautiful melody.
Man
Your castle you say...
Man
Well, the way you were running up and down in this castle it would seem like you were being chased.
Man
What were you trying to do princess, sneaking into my room? Were you trying to have one last fling before your wedding tomorrow?
The man walked in the light, making it illuminate his features.
Kim Taehyung
Cr-Crown Prince Jeon Jungkook?
Prince Jeon Jungkook
Oh...you do know me? 😏
