MINE

Have you found your Queen yet?

[ Taehyung's Pov ]

The girl walked past me, going to open the door and her scent strongly wafted across my nose, prompting me to take a whiff of its distant familiarity.

It's it so strange to me. I know that I know her scent from somewhere, but I can't for the life of me think about where I know it from. I already know this is gonna bother me until I find out why a human's scent is so familiar to me when I almost never be around them.

I walked out of the room, the girl silently following behind me as we walked down the halls of the guests quarters.

There were no words spoken, only the sounds of footsteps, her high heels clicking as they come into contact with the white marble floor as her feet hit the ground, but as I heard her softly clear her throat from behind me, I knew she was about to speak.

" Umm." She started off softly and awkwardly, running her hands down the front of her stained dress, flattening it out of presumed nervousness. " Might I burden his highness with a question?" She asked me.

I didn't answer her right away. She was probably going to ask me why I had to her to follow me instead of getting back to her duties, but I didn't have an answer to that. Well I did, but I don't know if I want to make up something or simply tell the truth.

But as I pondered some more on the thought I realized, what would be the point in lying to this human. I owe her no explanation but if I must give one, I will give the truth. I am merely curious about her scent and she will stay by my side until I figure it out.

One may call that unnecessary or childish, but so be it. What was that human phrase? Oh yeah. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. And I would be very satisfied to know where I know her scent from.

" You may." I spoke, finally answering the girls request to speak.

I stopped in my tracks, the girl not realizing in time in bumping into my back, almost falling over until I caught her wrist, letting go when she straightened herself up.

" M-my deeply, humblest apologies your highness. I did not mean to bump into you." The girl said while bowing at the waist deeply.

I sighed. I just wanted her to quickly ask this question so I can be on my way.

" What is your question." I asked her, turning my eyes down to her.

She looked up at me, but quickly cast down her eyes when she saw that my eyes were already upon her.

" I was just wondering what his majesty wanted of me? I did not mean to disrupt you. I hope your majesty does not punish me too harshly." Her soft meek voice spoke up to me.
