All Of Me Is Yours (vkook)

(redo) 12~ Comfortable

Jin had taken Taehyung and they sat outside in the back gardens of the palace where he'd been earlier with the queen.

"Does this normally happen?" Taehyung managed to ask.

"... I think so. Ever since I've become a part of this family I had the impression that they were perfect, the way I'd dreamt our own family should've been, but then I noticed that though they seem all jolly and happy on the surface, each and every one of them is hurting. There's something up between Jungkook and our Alpha, I'm not sure what. But I just chose to stay out of it unless they wanted to tell me, so I comfort everyone. And now you can along with me too!" Jin replied.

"I'd love to, but I don't know how I'd do that. I still feel so awkward talking to people this much."

"I can understand Tae, but don't worry just take it nice and steady and you will be fine. How about you start with Jungkook. He's one who's so stubborn in bottling up his emotions I can never tell when he's really ok or not."

"I do want to see him." He mumbled.

That's when a palace maid came walking towards them.

"Good evening, our queen would like a word with prince Taehyung."

"I'll see you tomorrow then Taehyung." Jin waved at him as he followed the maid.

As Taehyung came into the room he was led to he saw Jungkook in a miserable state, Miyeon trying to talk to him but he wouldn't respond.
She sighed in defeat, and then turned to see Taehyung stood at the door.

"Taehyung come in, I'm glad you're here." She motioned him to sit by her.

"I would have wanted to tell you both this in a better moment, but what can we do. Taehyung, you may have already figured it out but you're the mate for our Jungkook, we wanted it to be you rather than your other brother, though I thing the stars have not played a greater role in bringing you two together for reasons you don't know as of yet but will do in the future." Her smile was gentle and warm, and Taehyung was truly so happy at what he'd heard, but deemed it inappropriate to express anything just yet. Miyeon explained a few things to Taehyung about the ways of the kingdom, and when they were done she had him be taken to the room opposite Jungkook's so that he could be closer to him.
Taehyung nodded, and though he should've been over the moon, he knew that Jungkook was hurting, and somehow he didn't want to be this happy anymore. He wanted to help Jungkook feel better and then for the both of them to happy together.

The following days would fly by, Taehyung too caught up in the hectic lifestyle though it may be ordinary, one has to remember all he used to do daily was stay in his room, so this much wondering around, chatting, helping out was very new to him. But he loved it.

After a long afternoon of helping Miyeon get the flower beds at the palace gate flourished, Taehyung finally came to rest.

He noticed his hair had been getting quite long now, a soft blonde with a silver hue at times. After getting dressed into his silk night clothing, he delved deep into the warmth of the blankets that he'd wrapped around himself, but as though by default his mind drifted into his usual worry.

Ever since that one day he'd only seen Jungkook a few times in his bedroom when the door was left slightly open, but they'd never actually interacted for days. Taehyung couldn't help but draw conclusions that Jungkook might be avoiding him.

What if he's avoiding me because of my rank! Is he disgusted by me? Does he not want me to be his mate? I'm not forcing myself onto him am i, and that too when he's going through so much...
