Sous Chef | TK ✓

[I]

Almost thousands of citizens could be pointed out in the row lined up outside the Jeon Palace. The king announced there would be a hiring to work in the palace kitchen to which everyone in the kingdom decided to apply for, even if some had no clue how to work in a kitchen.

The real reason everyone wanted to apply wasn't for the job, but for the prince himself. This is why there were more girls in the line than guys. Everyone was aware of the princes appearance and attractiveness, well besides Kim Taehyung who only rented a small home in the city a couple days ago.

The said male flinched when a group of girls cut in front of him causing Taehyung to roll his eyes. He didn't get why everyone was so excited for a job interview, I mean yeah it was the palace but everyone seemed overly happy for just an interview. Taehyung was only in the line to actually get the job since his money was needed for the house he just rented.

"I heard his majesty works out in the royal gym in his spare time! That's so hot." One of the girls exclaimed to her friends. Taehyung of course had no clue who or what they were talking about, he was too busy rehearsing his reasons on why he is acceptable for the job in his head. 

And what got the boy more worried was when he watched the people walk inside the doors and walk out only seconds after, being rejected after such short time.

"Next." Jeon Jungkook groaned, shooing away the girl who only got past introducing her first name. The King and Queen sighed while looking at their son who sat in the throne next to them with his hand rested on his cheek.

"You're going to have to accept someone son." The king told. The rule was that the three of them had to agree on someone to be hired, and that rule was hard to follow when the arrogant prince was one of the judges.

"I told you we don't need a Sous Chef, Jin is fine." The king and Queen both sighed once again, returning their attention to the boy who had just entered the Castle with a nervous look on his face. The black haired male hesitated before lightly bowing towards the three unfamiliar royal faces.

"Good evening your majesties, my name is Kim Taehyung."

Jungkook was just about to groan 'next' again before he peeked up to the boy that was standing in front of the king who was in the middle throne. 

Most of the people who got interviewed were wearing very formal and fancy attire, lots of makeup and fancy hairdos. But Taehyung was only wearing a plain white T-shirt with beige jeans. The boy had messy black hair and hazel brown eyes that seemed to be sparkling.

Jungkook's parents both glared at their son because Taehyung actually lasted more than ten seconds. 

"Good evening Kim Taehyung. Why should we hire you for this occupation?"

The prince leaned his head against his palm while glaring at the male who seemed to be nervously forming a sentence.

"I um, I used to take culinary in High School.. for all four years. I also used to make my parents food." Taehyung smiled at the memory. "I'm not too experienced, but I also just moved into this town a few days ago and I'm in need of rent for my home. It would be an honor for you to let me work here."

To the King and Queen, if Jungkook actually accepted Taehyung already had the Job. They figured they weren't going to find anyone else that their son would accept. "Prince Jungkook?" The king questioned his son who seemed to be taking multiple double-takes at the quite attractive male standing in front of the thrones.

Jungkook snapped back to reality, putting his poker expression back onto his face while staring down into his lap. 

"Whatever, sure."

Taehyung, the King, and the Queen were all more than shocked. It's that easy?  he thought to himself, a proud smile forming onto his face when he realized he got the Job that quickly. I literally said 'um', how did they accept me?  The black haired kept asking himself.

"Well then, congratulations Kim Taehyung, you are hired to become a Sous Chef!" The king announced. "You will be starting tomorrow at seven AM, working until eight PM. We're excited to have you working with us." 

Taehyung almost thought he was in a dream because it seemed to move to fast. He thought he would have to show his skills off at least a little but apparently not, he wasn't complaining though and was more than grateful he was accepted so fast.

"Thank you so much your Majesties! I won't let you down." The male excitedly told, a smile placed onto his face. Before the said male left the building, he took one glance at the prince who seemed to be eyeing him from top to bottom. Taehyung looked down at his outfit to make sure nothing was spilt on it, because that's why he thought Jungkook was checking him out. But his outfit was as clean as possible.

"You can close the gates." The king told to a guard who nodded his head walking outside of the building and being bombarded by screaming girls and some guys even, closing the gates on them after Taehyung walked out of the castle.

"Why'd you accept him so fast?"

Jungkook turned his annoyed look to his butler who had winked at him, a playful smirk on his face which caused the prince to stand up out of his seat. 

"Go away Namjoon."

Taehyung entered the church with a proud smile on his face, running into the building and sitting in the seat closest to the stage. The black haired male closed his eyes and sunk his head low while still smiling.

"Mom, dad..."

"Today I got a job as a Sous Chef in the Jeon Palace, I was really shocked because I was accepted so fast. If you were here you'd probably think I was lying." 

Taehyung opened his eyes and turned his gaze up to the stage, the stage where his Mother and Fathers coffins were placed as the funeral was being held in the same church he was in right now. 

"Also if you were here you'd be proud of me! At least I hope you'd be, I will make you guys proud I promise!" The male stood up from his seat and took one last look at the stage before heading out of the Church. 

"See you soon, I love you always."
