Author's POV: 

"You can just google about it. Why ask me?" You asked him, frowning as he stared at you, not quite convinced. 
"Google's information isn't to be trusted. Rumours exist."
"This is a..." You stopped midway, trying to find the right word, "Phenomenon. Yeah... so why would there be rumours about periods on google?" 
"I don't trust that website."
"Or do you just want me to say it?" You asked. He looked at you, quite perplexed.
"You're smart."

You sighed as he patted the area beside him on the sofa, gesturing for you to sit. You sat down and faced him, "What do you want to know?"
"Everything."
"And why all of a sudden?"
"For... you?" He asked. You looked at him blankly before looking away. You gulped, "Hey... look-"
"I just want to know because... I don't know. I wanted to know because you have it and I'm supposed to look after you once we're married."
You stared at him for a moment before looking down. You thinned your lips, "This is... just a monthly cycle. So, we discharge blood for a week approximately every month. That's it. Well, waist pain, stomach cramps... these also happen. And basically, women ovulate seven to ten days after this time. That's how it works, yeah.." 

He nodded, looking down. 
"So it hurts a lot?"
"Quite... for different women, it's different. Plus, mood swings occur a lot." You spoke, looking completely exhausted by the thought of it. 
"So, how do you relieve the pain?"
"Ah... heat packs, essential oil. Or sometimes, massaging the belly if it hurts there?" You spoke, touching your belly and moving your palm in circles a few times before stopping. He hummed, looking at your belly for a moment. 
You gasped when you felt his warm palm come into contact with your clothed belly. You looked at him wide-eyed as he looked at you, "Does it hurt right now?" 

Your heart was already beating so loud but now it almost felt like on the verge to explode. You felt your stomach tingle where he held it. It felt so strange at first but it felt soothing as he slowly smoothed his hands over your belly. You looked into his eyes to see him staring at you with parted lips. Your hands tingled and you felt yourself being attracted to those luscious eyes even more. He was so lush, you wondered how you hadn't joined his simp fan page yet. 

You looked away quickly as he pulled back his hand.
"Uh, is there any food you eat during this time or avoid?" He asked.
"You're asking so many questions." You awkwardly said as he frowned, "Do you not want to answer me or something?" 
"It's rather awkward..." You whispered as he looked down, "Oh... did I ask too much?" 
You smiled a little, "It's okay. You didn't. Naturally, you don't know much about it. I don't like heavy food during this time. Different people have different preferences. I prefer light food and sweets a lot during this time." 

He smiled a little, looking at you. He wondered why this urge to take care of you in him was increasing. The need to live and laugh and care for someone in him was increasing badly. It was all cause of you. Concerning it, this was one of the best feelings to be there. 

—Next day

You frowned seeing so many sweet dishes on the breakfast menu. The Queen had a soft smile on her face throughout the entire morning. Was she in a good mood?
"Your Highness, did you change the menu today?" You asked her as she shook her head, "Not me. I have been in a great mood this morning, good thing whoever changed the menu did a great job. I love this." 
You nodded, waiting to see Taehyung. You wanted to start eating when he'd come. And thank goodness, he came in just at the right time, staring at you as he sat beside you.

Beside you.

You all started eating as you and Jungkook chatted a few times. The King was absent. You wondered where he was. 
"Where's His majesty?" You asked. The Queen smiled a little, looking awkward all of a sudden as Jungkook thinned his lips. You looked at Taehyung to see his hard face.
"Don't talk while eating." 
"But-"
"Eat." He said as you frowned. You could sense something was wrong. Maybe pushing it further wasn't right but you felt a little sad hearing his cold tone. You looked down, continuing to eat. 
Taehyung realized he sounded too harsh as he looked at you. You didn't even look up the rest of the time anymore.

After breakfast, you were in the garden, checking the begonias when you saw Taehyung enter. You looked away, not knowing what to say. 
He stood beside you, staring at the flowers, "You love these flowers the most here?"
"Begonias are one of my favourites." You said. 
He hummed, looking around. This was the place you both first chatted in. And now, you were going to be married in a few days. Irony. 

"Here." You heard him speak and turned around, confused. He handed you a hot water bag. It was pink and had cute patterns on it.
"What's this for?"
"You said heat packs work. I searched some more... hot water bags do too. So I thought both together would be convenient." 
"You bought this?" You asked as he said, "I made the chauffeur buy it." 
You smiled and looked at him, "Thank you." 

He nodded, looking down. He cleared his throat and took a few steps closer to you, leaning close to your face. You bit your bottom lip as his hot breaths hit your nose. 
He looked at you, "The reason I told you not to talk about the King was that he isn't someone who is favoured among us. The King isn't a friendly father like many others... he's just the King of the country. Mother doesn't like talking about him that's why I sounded harsh..." 
He paused for a moment, seeing your soft eyes and gulped, "I apologize. I'm sorry." 
You fisted your hands, looking up, meeting his eyes. 
"It's okay." YOu smiled a little. 

He didn't back away, and neither did you. 

Instead, you wished he'd be closer. He stared at you for a moment, his gaze falling to your trembling lips. You licked your lips, feeling your heartbeat increase as he leaned in even closer. Your noses almost touched but before he could do anything, the door of the room beside the backyard creaked open causing him back to away. 
You hiccuped as Jungkook entered with the widest grin, "What are my seniors doing?!" 
You looked at him, all surprised, "Ah..." 
"Counting grass, wanna join?" 

Jungkook chuckled at Taehyung's reply and walked toward you both, "Don't worry. If I mistakenly interrupted anything... then, you have all night to continue-"
He was cut off by Taehyung's glare. You looked at them in disbelief, "We were not doing anything to be interrupted... we were just... standing... there... yeah." 
Taehyung stared at you in disbelief but smiled a little when he saw the panic on your face. 

Just standing there? Yeah, sure. Just. Standing. There. 

—The Day of the Wedding 

Glam, fancy food and outfits, beautiful decorations, high-class music and the most expensive catering. This was the royal wedding.

Near the aisle was written, 

Prince Taehyung weds Lady Y/N 

This was an outdoor wedding, also the one where the photo shoot would happen. You both were going to be wed properly here with only close people and relatives. The huge party would take place at night in the Royal palace. 



You waited in the car wearing the white gown you had picked on for the day. This was a beautiful gown and you loved it. With light makeup and a simple hairstyle, you were ready. You were notified that Taehyung would wear a simple white suit.

The pictures of this event would be posted online but this was reserved only for close people physically. 

You felt so nervous as you walked outside with your father. The guests were sitting on the chairs as you walked down the aisle, your hands tangled with your father's. He whispered, "I love you, my daughter." 
You wanted to cry as you looked up, meeting Taehyung's eyes who stood there. He stared at you, not saying a word. His lips parted as he gulped, staring at you walking towards him looking like a goddamn angel. 



He could've sworn he saw white wings and a halo on you. 

As you stood in front of him, nervously blinking, he could feel his heart burst open. He'd never felt this way before.
He wanted to cry. You looked so beautiful. 
"Hey?" You asked in a low voice, confused. The guests were all focused on you both as he stared at you, looking like a statue. He didn't know how to function. His palms sweat and he felt as if he was going to die on spot. 

Whatever the Queen said was true.

If this simple attire made you look like a goddess, how would you look at the function tonight? He gulped, all luscious thoughts in his head roaming at the speed of a cheetah. He walked towards you, unhinged about the fact that people were staring. He was unable to control his breathing. 

"Looks like the prince is completely smitten!" The host joked as everyone laughed. Taehyung looked at you, a frown appearing on his face. Your lush pink lips were attracting him so bad. He wanted to kiss you right now. 

It was as if a tornado had taken place inside his chest, he felt as if he was going to lose control. But the moment he saw the worry in your eyes, he calmed. 
"You okay?" He asked, his heart doing bungee jumps in his chest. 
"Nervous." You whispered. He looked at the guests and then at you, "I'm here, okay? Everyone here... is fond of you. Of us." The word 'us' shouldn't have sounded so nice to you but it did. Not only was Taehyung feeling this way, but you were also too.

You were nervous but the moment he walked towards you, you felt as if he had been walking inside the door of your heart. As if he had already opened it and now all he was doing was walking inside.

But it couldn't be possible at all, right?

Soon, the wedding ceremony started as the host spoke, "Prince Kim Taehyung, do you, legally and heartily take Min Y/N as your wife through happiness and woe?" 

You looked at Taehyung whose stare was on you. The intimidating intense one. 

"I do." He said, his voice deeper and more sincere than ever. You swallowed the heavy lump in your throat, looking down.

"Min Y/N, do you, legally and heartily take Prince Kim Taehyung as your husband through happiness and woe?"

You looked at Taehyung, wondering why your heart ached right now as you stared at him. You swallowed again, "I.. do." 

"Therefore, I, Jung Hoseok, hereby announce you two a man and a woman." 

Everyone started cheering as the host spoke, "Groom, you may now kiss the bride." 

Your breath hitched as Taehyung walked towards you, resting his hands on your cheeks. He gave your cheeks a soft stroke with his thumb, leaning closer. His nose touched yours, just like that day. He stared into your eyes, watching them close slowly. 
Your heart had been beating so loudly. The noise of the public slowly faded within your heartbeats and the feeling of his lips near yours. The waiting for them to touch was making you restless. 
You wanted his lips on yours so bad. You needed that. 

You gulped, your lips trembling slightly. But his lips never came into contact with yours, leaving the feeling of longing in you. Instead, Taehyung's lips trailed from your nose very slightly, leaving a tingling sensation, on your forehead. 
He pressed a long, open-mouthed kiss on your forehead making you whimper slightly. He heard that and froze on spot, his hands clutching the fabric of your gown tightly. 

The cameras continued clicking pictures but he pulled away, looking at you. You looked at him, your eyes looking hazy. As if everything that just happened was a dream. 

The feeling of his lips on your skin just now felt like a daydream. 

You stared at him, quite in disbelief as he leaned in closer, asking, "Were you expecting something more?"
