Jungkook woke up late in the morning. He turned his head softly and nuzzled his head into something firm. The smell was divine, Jungkook couldn't get enough of the smell. He opened his eyes and was met with a body. Jungkook looked up slowly and saw Taehyung looking at him fondly.
"Hey petal" Taehyung smiled softly.
"I thought it was a dream" Jungkook admitted, digging his face back into Tae's chest.
Truthfully he never expected that he would actually run away from 'home'. He thought it was too good to be true.

"It's very much real" Taehyung chuckled, rubbing his fingers through Jungkook's hair. "How are you feeling?" Taehyung then asked.
"Better, my back aches but I feel better than I did yesterday thank you. Plus I don't think I've slept so well since I was a child" Jungkook sighed, finally feeling comfort swarm his body.
"What do you mean? " Taehyung said confused, he didn't want to offend him but he was taken back by the statement.
After all Jungkook was a prince, and royalty do have the best facilities, but that's what people think anyway.
"I'll tell you another day" Jungkook said, bringing his arm up to Tae's stomach and used his finger to draw small patterns.
He wanted to avoid the topic of his mother. He trusted Taehyung more than anyone, he was his mate after all. However he's never spoken about his mother and the she treats him to anyone, he wasn't really sure how to approach the subject.

Taehyung smiled in sweet fondness, trying to ignore what Jungkook could be hiding.
"When you're ready I want you to tell me everything" Taehyung husked out in his deep voice, trying to support the boy the best he could.
Jungkook nodded and snuggled into the elders chest more, feeling comfort from his broad chest. The weren't even dating, and they had only met each other yesterday evening, it hadn't even been 24 hours. Jungkook couldn't believe how strong the mate bond was. It was incredible.

"Prince Taehyung, breakfast is ready for both you and prince Jungkook" the butler called out, like he did every morning.
"We will be down soon" Taehyung called back in his serious tone.
"Very well sire" the butler called back and walked away from the prince's room to give them privacy.
"We should probably go down for breakfast as mother and father will be waiting. Are you okay for me to pick you your clothes? I should have some spare clothes which will fit you nicely" Taehyung asked gently.
"Yes Tae that's fine, thank you" Jungkook smiled leaning up so Taehyung could get up.

Jungkook weakly sat up, hissing slightly as his back stung. Taehyung got out the bed and stretched lightly as he walked to his walk in wardrobe. Jungkook looked around at the room, taking in the stunning bedroom. He came out with two outfits. Taehyung gave Jungkook a cream cotten sweater with a white dress shirt underneath and a pair of white trousers. While Taehyung chose himself black trousers and a white dress shirt with the top button undone, and his sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

Taehyung got changed in the bathroom while Jungkook got dressed in the room.
"Koo are you dressed?" Taehyung called softly.
Jungkook blushed at the nickname but called back with a yes. Taehyung walked in and he was met with a beautiful boy. His sweater on the omega drowned his body perfectly. Jungkook subconsciously brought the sleeve to his nose and smelled the sleeve, showing a pleased smile. Taehyung cooed at his mate, his heart swelling with love.

"I love your room" Jungkook complimented the princes room.
"Thank you petal" Taehyung chuckled the boy in awh. "Shall we go for breakfast?" Taehyung chimed sweetly.
"Y-yeah" Jungkook nodded with a small smile as he felt nervous meeting Taehyung's parents once again. Taehyung led them out the door and they walked side by side, as they made their way down the long steps. Jungkook looked around in amazement, loving all the details of the palace. Taehyung chuckled softly and called Jungkook to follow him, as the palace was huge and he didn't want the boy to get lost. Jungkook noticed how Taehyung would walk professionally when workers walked past. They all respected the prince, none of them were rude or ignore him.

They made it to the huge table and walked past the many seats in the huge dining room in case they had guests. Taehyung sat in his seat telling Jungkook so sit next to him. When the younger saw the King and Queen he bowed to them politely and sat down nervously.
"Y-you have a b-beautiful palace your royal highnesses" Jungkook squeaked out to the royals not wanting to be rude towards them.
"Thank you prince Jungkook" the king smiled softly, admiring the younger.

"How are you feeling sweetie?" The Queen asked much less formally.
"I'm f-feeling better thank you. Thank y-you again for helping me l-last night. I-I'm very sorry for d-disturbing you so early in the morning, I-I had no where else to go" Jungkook bit on his lip nervously.
"Jungkook, you are our sons mate, of course you're allowed here, especially when you're hurt or unsafe. This palace is safe, and we are more than happy to look after you" the king spoke to the boy softly.
"Thank you so much s-sire, I'm very grateful"

They finished breakfast, after getting to know Jungkook more. Jungkook was surprised with the amount of food they were served for breakfast. Jungkook wasn't used to it at all, he was used to small scraps, or out of date food. Taehyung took Jungkook to the palace gardens once again. They walked through the gardens standing side by side, leaving a small gap between them. They looked at the different coloured flowers, talking about which one is their favourite. They made their way to the willow tree they were under the evening before and sat down comfortably. Taehyung leaned his back against the tree while Jungkook sat cross legged next to him.
"I think I should tell you what happened"
