You enter the library hoping to find Jake in his desk. As far as you're concerned, the king hasn't appointed you to a separate office in the palace so you didn't know why Jake isn't still here. You walk to your own desk where you and Heeseung used to study, started arranging things and throwing papers you weren't going to use when you hear the door open. It creaks loud because of the size of it, so you know someone just entered.

Finally, Jake has come. He was suppose to go check the printing press if some of the handouts are already done. You didn't turn your back tk speak.

"You're a little late Jake. You need to go tk the printing press now. Se eif the handouts are ready for distribution," you say.

Jake didn't answer so you continue.

"Hurry, we don't have time to waste," you say.

"He already went earlier this morning y/n," you hear the king speak.

Damn it. I thought it was Jake. You thought.

You turn to be meet by the king's eyes. Dear god, he's so beautiful.

"Your majesty," you bow. "I apologize for that, I thought you were Jake,"

Taehyung smiles.

No wonder women loves to gossip about him. He's beautiful.

He walks near you and offers his hand to you, palm facing up. As if he's asking for a dance.

"I believe you said yes to meeting Jungkook's woman yesterday so I freed your schedule. Jake will be doing the rest of your tasks today,"

Your eyes went from looking to his eyes to his palm. You contemplate whether you should really go or not. You wonder why Jungkook chooses to do that today, the sickness is still around.

Or are you just bitter that he met someone else?

You place your hand on his open palm and notices that he's are warm. Same feeling as when Jungkook tried to kill you that night. From the very start, they were totally opposite.

Taehyung starts leading you out the library, with your hand still clasped in his. You wonder why he's being this affectionate lately.

"Is that why you cried in the lake?" He asked not looking at you.

Your head snaps to his direction, the back of his head your view.
