Author's POV: 

"See you then, kids." The Queen spoke as you both politely greeted her.
"May I hug you once, your Highness?" You asked the Queen as she smiled, "Of course, angel." 
She often called you adorable nicknames and you loved them. She adored you, it was obvious. 

You hugged her as she smiled, "Have a safe trip, both of you." 
"See you, then." 

Taehyung bowed politely. Jungkook hugged Taehyung as you both got out of the palace. You both had entered the King's quarters to say goodbye but you couldn't even look at him. 

The reporters were waiting outside, clicking pictures and asking questions as you both walked into the limo. Taehyung sat beside you, making sure all the luggage and handbags were taken. 

You both were going to France for this honeymoon. It was quite viral and your hotels and restaurants were already booked in advance. People were welcoming you both there as well. 

You both were at the airport, getting into the plane later on. 

And soon, the plane boarded. 

Taehyung was sitting beside you, reading a book as you peeked to see what he was reading. He turned his head towards you, "Yes?" 
"Nothing." You focused on the movie you were watching. Business class hit differently. 

After finishing the movie, you got bored and looked beside to see an asleep Taehyung. You smiled a little, watching him from up close. The little moles on his face were so adorable. 
You unknowingly let your fingers trance them while he was asleep. You hadn't realized this either but he had beautiful eyelashes. 
You placed a soft kiss on his nose, realizing how adorable he was. 

Your heart ached for him at times. Every time you remembered all that he had to go through, you felt yourself melting. 

You closed your eyes, trying to sleep as well.

Taehyung yawned, feeling himself waking up. He looked at his watch. It had been 4 hours of the flight. Still, 8 hours to go. 
He turned his head to see you sleeping. He smiled a little, looking away. But his gaze went back to you as he removed the hair from your face, tucking them behind your ear. 
He let you put your head on his shoulder as you frowned a little while sleeping. 

He continued reading his book peacefully, knowing well you were sleeping on his shoulder. He liked the feeling weirdly.

Usually, other than being someone bad at socializing, he was also more of an 'I like my own company better' type of person. But never did he imagine he'd pull someone close to him with every chance he got. This wasn't like him but he didn't care anymore. He was happy now. 

Soon, you woke up and you both were eating. 
"Look, this cake tastes so good. Have a try." You forwarded your spoon to him and he stared at it for a moment before looking at you. Right, you were going to feed him cake now. 
You cleared your throat, about to take your hand back, "Ah, you can eat by yourself too..."
But before you could take your hand back, he took a bite from the spoon, humming. 
"It tastes sweet." 
You smiled as Taehyung kept his book aside, looking at you. 
"So, what will we be doing there?" You asked. 

"Whatever we want?" He replied as you sighed, "How much longer? It's been almost 6 hours ugh.."
"Wanna read a book?" He asked. 
"You've been reading for the whole time?" You frowned as he replied, "Yeah but..."
"What book were you reading?"
"A book about... historical politics." 
"Boring... but what was the story?"

He looked at you, a little baffled when you asked that. As if he didn't know for sure himself. 
"You probably read half the book. You were turning pages so fast. What did you read?"
"About a girl... in politics." 
"Brief but okay." You eyed the book kept aside. He gulped and looked at his lap. 

He hadn't even read the book properly. The whole time while reading the book, he was noticing you reacting to the movie and squirming around, drinking some juice, eating snacks, making weird faces and almost falling asleep. 
He did read but his mind was on you. He read 3 lines of the book and watched you for the next 5 minutes. That was all he did. 

And in no way was he going to admit to that.

Hours passed by and you both were chatting about random things. He didn't even realize when he cracked jokes that made you laugh for 5 minutes straight. He had humour. 
"You know... that one day I was on the bus and some kid pooped his pants while sleeping. It was so funny." You were laughing as he made a weird face, trying not to be disgusted.
"Everyone was spraying perfume everywhere oh god. Later on, turned out the guy didn't have underwear." 

"Oh god, I don't want to hear any more of this." Taehyung almost gagged as you laughed loudly. He saw you stopped at some point, looking down. You were wondering about something and cleared your throat. Since then, you became quiet like you were before. 
He sort of understood why but it made him worried. 

"You know. I once accidentally peed on the King's throne one day." 
You gasped looking at him in disbelief. 
"I was like... 3. And no one was in the quarter so I somehow sneaked in and got on the throne... and peed. I ran away after that. Nobody knew but the maids were probably scolded a lot. The King sat on my pee without even knowing."
"Holy... You're so-" You burst out into laughter as he smiled a little. You had tears in your eyes, laughing loudly. 
"Oh god... you're such a disgrace!" You said in a joking way as he smiled, "It was quite disrespectful and I have no idea how I even got there. No one's allowed... the maids taking care of me were slacking off so I somehow sneaked in. It's still unbelievable and a mystery. Only you know it."
"So, it's a deadly secret?" You whispered, making an amused face and trying not to laugh.
"Undercover mafia level." He whispered with the same energy as you grinned, still not able to get over the laugh.

"Welcome to Paris." 

You both entered the hotel after a long car ride and a 14-hour journey and checked in. The media was still around and it was exhausting. You could see Taehyung glare at the reporters who were getting too close. The security guards took care though.
You both knew French, thankfully. 
"The keycards?" Taehyung asked in french to the receptionist and god, his french was so good. His deep voice sounded lusciously attractive, making you wonder why you were being such a creep noticing these details.

You both walked towards the elevator as the luggage was taken beforehand. He held your hand, whispering, "Are you tired?" 
"A lot..." You tried to stay awake.
"Let's rest today then. We can go out at night."
"I want to try a good restaurant, is that okay?" 

He nodded as the elevator door opened. The guards escorted you both to the VVIP suite on the top floor. 

Upon entering the suite, you made an 'o' face. It was so beautiful and luxurious. 

The luggage was kept at a side as the guards bowed politely, leaving the room. You smiled and sat on the couch, closing your eyes.
"Ah, peace."
Taehyung took the luggage to the room but frowned, "There's only one bedroom." 
Your eyes popped open as you jumped up, walking towards him. 
"One?"
"Yeah... the Queen did this on purpose then." He seemed blank as if he expected it. You cleared your throat, "Well then... guess we'll have to share."

"Should I order another-"
"No need! This will be viral! People will be suspicious!" You frowned as he raised a brow. He smiled and hummed, pulling you closer, "Or do you just want to share the room?"
"I never s-said that." You gulped, looking down. He lifted your chin with his thumb, his other hand secured around your waist. He smiled, tapping your nose making your eyes flutter close and open. 
He walked away, making you wonder why he didn't kiss you. It'd be nice if he did. 

He walked inside the room, keeping the luggage inside as you followed him. You sat on the bed, running your hands along the edge of the luxurious bed. Taehyung glanced at you, "Should I unpack your stuff too?"
"Ah- no!" You shook your head, "I can do it by myself." 

He looked at you, nodding. 
"You sure? You can sleep. I'll do it." 
You smiled, looking at him, "You're quite... sweet if you say it like that." 
He sighed, "Just sleep." 

You nodded, "I'll freshen up first then?"
He took the luggage, keeping his clothes in first before taking your luggage. He heard the noise of the shower and realized you might be inside. He opened your luggage and took out a few clothes and he folded them into the closet but he froze when he saw your undergarments kept inside. He held his nape, wondering how to put those inside now. This was awkward. 

He saw you exit not long after as you asked, "You're putting my clothes in?" 
You stopped as your eyes widened.
"No need! Stop. I can do it myself." You rushed towards him in the white bathrobe as he moved, looking away. You stopped in front of the luggage, raising a brow. 
"Oh... thanks." You sighed, turning around. His face was red and this was embarrassing. You looked at him as he looked back, making eye contact but you both ended up chuckling.
"Ah, this is embarrassing."

"it's alright... men have undergarments too." 
You smiled, "Right. But if you blush like that, it becomes weird."
"I'm not blushing," he said with a frown as you hummed.
"You can go freshen up. I'll handle the rest."
"Alright."

He walked into the washroom as you took out your things, quickly stuffing them inside. Either way, this was a little embarrassing. 

Considering you had this white lingerie hanging there. Oh no.

—Time skip

Taehyung couldn't help but laugh silently during his shower when he remembered the situation happened minutes ago. 

He got out of the shower to see you tucked into the blanket. He looked around and saw the tidied closet. He sat beside you, realizing you had changed your clothes too. Thank god, that robe was making him feel strange. 
He traces your eyebrows, wondering why you looked so pretty. It was as if with every day passing by, you just looked prettier to him. 

He realized that his heart felt alive every time he looked at you. 
"I love you." He whispered, placing a soft kiss on your lips as he got up, and walked outside. 
There were hired maids and people but he wanted to cook something for you. He never cooked for anyone other than Jungkook and himself. 
But he wanted to cook for you.

So he ordered the ingredients and cooked some beef soup for you. Besides that, he made vegetable salad and cut some avocado with salmon. He'd make everything if he could but he didn't. 

It took him 2 hours but once he was done, he kept the food on the table, hearing the door of the bedroom open. You were awake. 

You rubbed your eyes, lazily walking outside, "Morning." 
"It's dinner time." He said. You looked at him, trying to process everything and nodded, "Right! we're in Paris!" 
He tapped the table, gesturing for you to sit. You gasped, "So much food? You ordered it?"
"I cooked it."

You looked at him wide-eyed and sat down, "That's so fancy of you." 
"Try them out."
"We could've eaten out. You should've just rested."
"Eating food from outside right after coming back isn't nutritious."
"Ask maids to cook?"
"You don't like that I cooked for you?"

"I loved it. Thank you." You quickly took the soup bowl and took a sip. Seeing your smile, he knew you liked it but you just said, "Wow, this isn't bad..."
"And?" He was waiting for a solid compliment, you knew. 
"It's really good." You complimented him as he sat down and kept some salmon on your plate. 

He watched you eat while eating himself. After finishing, you suggested that you could wash the dishes. He wanted to do it but you insisted so he agreed. 
"Are you not tired at all?"
"I slept on the flight."
"For 3 hours only?" 
"That's enough for me. I don't sleep much." 

You hummed, looking down. 

"Let's go out after I'm done. Paris streets at night hit differently."
