           (Your P.O.V)

    The kingdom was in a terrible state since King Namjoon started ruling. It all started when they started collecting less taxes from the towns around the kingdom, for certain purposes. Once King Namjoon heard of this, he started taking more taxes from the towns closer to the castle, giving the money to the towns closer to the wall. Soon enough, the kingdom I live in was bankrupt, money hard to find. And all because of King Namjoon, blind to everyone's pain behind those tall brick walls.

             The day went by slow as usual. Watching as children up to adults were begging for food and money along the streets.

 The sight broke my heart. I would give all I had to them...if I had anything. I was as poor as they where, but not so desperate I would beg at peoples feet.

           I went past the bakers shop, tempting me to stay and steal something.

 Hunger. 

It's hard to live with that.

 That's when I heard the blow of trumpets and the clatter of horses on the the stone path. That could only mean one thing.

                                                                 The king was here.

         I would usually just walk away from the scene...but what's the point? There's nothing to do either way.

            I walked close to them, just close enough to hear a conversation between the king and a guard. I pulled my h/l h/c hair out of my face before listening in, tilting my head slightly to the left.

 "My son..." The king started, the guard standing at attention. "He's in the castle with that girl Sierra, having a chat. Maybe things will be...better...this time," He sighed, scratching the back of his head nervously. 

"Prince Jungkook?" I mumbled out loud.  "He's with Princess Sierra?"

          I almost laughed out loud at the thought of Prince Jungkook in bed with that snob. 

"Impossible," I snorted, looking up to the castle widows to see a face in one of them. It was none other than Prince Jungkook himself. My e/c eyes gazed up into his. 

He was staring directly at me.

           I shoved myself behind a corner of a gift shop. The prince...Prince Jungkook...was looking at me! I looked back at the window to see he wasn't there anymore. 

I blinked.

 Maybe I was just thinking stuff. The prince couldn't possibly notice me.

         I was too distracted by my own thoughts to notice how hungry I was. How I walked into the bakery. How I sneaked a loaf of bread under my arm. And how one of the kings guards saw me too.

      "Hey you there!" one of the guards shouted as I tried to walk away. "Too late for that," I said, sprinting at full speed. I dropped the bread and continued to run, only to hear the guards gaining up on me. 

                    "Agh!" I screamed as I saw an all too familiar face look down at me.

                                                    "S-Sir..."
