Royal Messages: Love Beyond the Screen || Kim Teahyung

Chapter 16: Loving You

The morning sunlight streamed through the windows of Y/N's cozy apartment, casting a warm and hopeful glow across the room. She couldn't believe that the day she had been both eagerly anticipating and nervously dreading had finally arrived. Today, she would meet Taehyung's parents, the King and Queen of Korea, and take a significant step towards a future with the man she loved.

Y/N had carefully chosen her outfit for the occasion, spending hours selecting the perfect attire. She wanted to strike a delicate balance between elegance and comfort, aiming to make a lasting impression on the royal couple who would soon become her potential in-laws. After all, first impressions were crucial, and Y/N was determined to show her genuine self while also adhering to the decorum expected in the presence of royalty.

She had settled on a knee-length, deep emerald green dress. The color not only complemented her heterochromia but also symbolized hope and growth, sentiments she associated with this momentous day. The dress featured a modest neckline and short sleeves, exuding a timeless and classic charm. Y/N's attention to detail was evident in the subtle, intricate patterns that adorned the fabric, a nod to her love for literature and the beauty she found in the written word.

Her choice of footwear was practical yet elegant—a pair of comfortable flats that allowed her to move gracefully and confidently. Y/N had styled her hair in loose waves that cascaded down her shoulders, framing her face in a soft and flattering manner. Her makeup was minimal, accentuating her natural beauty, and her emerald green eye shimmered with anticipation, mirroring the color of her dress.

As Y/N waited in her cozy apartment, her heart raced with anticipation. She glanced at the clock repeatedly, her thoughts filled with questions about what the day would bring. Despite her nervousness, there was an undeniable warmth in her heart, knowing that Taehyung was by her side through it all.

At the same time, Taehyung, dressed in his princely attire, made his way to Y/N's apartment. His heart pounded with excitement as he sat in the back of the royal car, driven by Jung Hoseok, one of the most trusted members of the royal staff. Taehyung couldn't help but steal glances at his reflection in the car's tinted windows. He looked every bit the prince he was expected to be, but inside, he was still the same Tae who had messaged Y/N that fateful day.

As the car approached Y/N's apartment building, Taehyung's excitement grew. He knew that Y/N would be waiting for him, and the thought of seeing her again filled him with joy. But there was also the anticipation of introducing her to his parents, and that added a layer of nervousness to his emotions.

Finally, the car came to a stop in front of Y/N's building. Taehyung took a deep breath to steady himself before opening the car door. As he stepped out onto the sidewalk, he couldn't help but feel a sense of surrealism. The man who had once messaged Y/N anonymously as "Tae" was now arriving at her doorstep as the crown prince of Korea.

Taehyung adjusted his attire, ensuring every detail was perfect. His princely appearance was a stark contrast to the casual, ordinary world Y/N inhabited, but he hoped that she would see past the title and recognize the same person who had brought joy and love into her life.

With a nod of gratitude to Jung Hoseok, Taehyung stepped out of the car, his finely polished black shoes making a soft sound as they touched the sidewalk. The crisp, royal blue of his suit contrasted elegantly with the bustling cityscape of Seoul. He could hear the distant sounds of the city—the honking of horns, the chatter of passersby—but his focus remained entirely on the moment at hand.

As he approached Y/N's apartment building, each step felt like a deliberate stride towards destiny. His heart seemed to synchronize with the rhythmic pounding in his chest, creating a symphony of emotions within him. Excitement coursed through his veins, electrifying every nerve, and yet, there was a subtle undercurrent of nerves, the kind one feels before embarking on a life-altering journey.
