"I'm glad you two talked about this problem and resolved it," Soyoung said while cutting vegetables as we prepared breakfast.

"Hmm... He is someone who can understand others. But I still feel bad for the words that I uttered."

"It's okay. You should be happy to have a man like him" I nodded, agreeing with her.

He's an understanding person. He didn't shout or take his anger out on me; instead, he tried to make me understand what I did wrong. We didn't have a beautiful or memorable childhood like others. But I hope we can live happily in the future.

"Oh, unnie, I'll make Taehyung's breakfast because he can't eat spicy things," she exclaimed, making an 'O' face and nodding, while giving me space to prepare his meal.

As I busied myself in the kitchen, I noticed She leaning on the counter, her eyes closed. I washed my hands and walked over to her.

"Are you okay, unnie?" I asked, placing my hand on her shoulder.

She nodded weakly, her eyes still shut. "No, you're not okay," I insisted gently.

"I'm just feeling a bit tired," she admitted, her hand moving to rest on her stomach. It was a normal part of her pregnancy. I sighed, guiding her to a nearby chair.

"You don't have to work. I'll take care of everything. Now, just rest," I reassured her, preparing a cup of coffee to help her relax. With a sigh, I returned to making breakfast.

After finishing making breakfast, I set the dishes on the dining table and saw Jungkook approaching with Aru in his arms.

"Good morning, Jungkook, and my sweetie Aru," I greeted them with a warm smile.

"Good morning" Jungkook replied, his voice soft, while Aru remained half asleep, looking utterly adorable in his father's embrace.

I made my way to our room to check on Taehyung. As I walked, I caught sight of him, dressed neatly in a simple shirt and pants, looking incredibly handsome. He turned toward me but my eyes traveled toward his shirt. It's unbuttoned.

As I stood there, my gaze locked with his, he approached, rolling up his sleeves with a smirk playing on his lips. Unconsciously, he enveloped me in his arms, snapping me back to reality.

"Enjoying the view of having a handsome man like me , hmm?" he teased, his voice laced with mischief, causing my cheeks to flush crimson.

"Don't tease me like that, Mr. Handsome," I retorted, a shy smile playing on my lips.

"You know when you blushed you look so cute." He said tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Can you button my shirt?" he murmured, his arms still wrapped around my waist, his breath warm against my neck. With a soft smile, I raised my hand and began to button his shirt, feeling his gaze lingering on me. He tightened his grip around my waist, his intense gaze sending shivers down my spine. It's not a new sensation for me; he always looks at me as if there's no tomorrow.

But I couldn't help but feel a flutter in my heart as I continued my task. I carefully made his collar neat, my fingers lingering on his skin. Now, he looked every bit the gentleman he truly was. A satisfied sigh escaped my lips, lost in the moment of our silent connection.

In that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off our shoulders. There were no secrets between us, no painful past haunting our every move, just the anticipation of a blissful future.

I let out a satisfied sigh, meeting his gaze as he already had his eyes fixed on me, causing my blush to deepen.

"Come downstairs, breakfast is ready," I finally managed to say, to which he simply nodded. He planted a soft kiss on my forehead before we made our way to the dining table holding my wrist.

We all sat down, beginning to enjoy our breakfast in peaceful silence. But suddenly, Taehyung spoke up, shattering the tranquility of the moment.

"Who made today's breakfast? It's so tasty. Woah, I like it," he moaned, savoring every bite with closed eyes. I smiled, glancing at her.

"Your future wife," Soyoung said, winking playfully at me. I glared at her, my face flushing red. Why did they have to tease me so much today?

I heard Taehyung chuckle, prompting me to look at him.

"Oh, it's amazing. Thank you, my soon to be wife," he said with a grin. Once again, the title made me break into a shy smile as I nodded in response.

Suddenly his gaze shifted to my lips, causing me to gulp nervously. He stared at them intensely for a few moments, and my heart began to race as he leaned in closer. I couldn't help but wonder what he was planning to do. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Soyoung and Jungkook staring at us, their expressions a mix of confusion and curiosity.

Then, without warning, Taehyung's cold thumb brushed against my warm lip, prompting me to look up at him with a racing heartbeat. I attempted to speak, but he gently caressed my lower lip, sending a surge of electricity through me, before pulling away and locking eyes with me.

I continued to gaze at him, trying to make sense of the sudden gesture.

"Oh, you had a little bit of jam on your lip. So I removed it," he explained with a reassuring smile. I let out a sigh of relief.His attention returned to his plate, and he resumed eating.

But jungkook who cleared his throat, dispelling the awkwardness.

"Ahem, do you guys have any plans for the future?" Jungkook broke the silence, his voice cutting through the quiet air. Taehyung glanced at me, then at Jungkook, and nodded. Taehyung let out a sigh before speaking.

"Yeah, I was thinking about marr—" His words were interrupted by a knock at the front door. Taehyung stopped abruptly, his gaze shifting towards the door.

"I'll get it," Soyoung said, starting to stand up, but Jungkook stopped her.

"No, you stay. I'll see who it is." With that, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Jungkook opened the door but was met with an unfamiliar face, causing him to furrow his brows. Standing before him were two handsome strangers, their presence stirring an uneasy feeling within him.

"Hmm... may I know who you guys are?" Jungkook questioned, his tone cautious as he eyed them skeptically.

"Actually, we're here to meet Taehyung," one of them replied, but the mention of Taehyung's name only deepened Jungkook's confusion.

How did they know Taehyung, and why were they here? Were they spies from the kingdom, sent to cause trouble? Jungkook couldn't shake off the suspicion gnawing at him, unsure of what response to give.

"Ahem... Actu-" Jungkook's words were cut off by Taehyung's voice, causing Jungkook to look back at him.

"Jungkook, who's there?" He questioned, yet he didn't see the guest standing in front of the door.

He stepped closer to Jungkook, trying to catch a glimpse of the unseen visitor. But when he finally saw who was standing there, his eyes widened in disbelief. He blinked multiple times, as if trying to dispel a hallucination.

"What the hell are you guys doing here?" he exclaimed, his voice tinged with a mix of surprise and irritation. The two men exchanged uneasy glances.

"Actually, sorry for the unexpected visit, but can I come inside?" The man asked, but Taehyung gritted his teeth and glared at both of them.

"Taehyung, do you know them?" Jungkook asked, confused. Taehyung nodded, still glaring at both of them.

With a sigh, Jungkook fully opened the door, allowing the two men to enter.

"Don't you know how to welcome your guests?" The man whispered into Taehyung's ear, eliciting an eye roll from him.

"Shut up, hyung. I'll deal with both of you later," Taehyung retorted.

The handsome strangers were none other than Prince Jin and Prince Jimin.

After Suga informed them they're live in this village both Jin and Jimin wanted to visit there. They want to make sure they're both fine or not. And also, they came here to talk with Taehyung about his future decision. Cause Taehyung can't hide here forever.

Jin knows that his younger brother is the future king of this kingdom, and he has a responsibility for that. Royal life is not a joke. That's why he seriously thinks about this matter and came here. Maybe they'll stay here a few days until they solve this mess.

About Jin's arrival, the king or any royal doesn't know about that. Prince Jin made an excuse to the king. If the king found out the truth, they'd all be in big trouble. Jimin also joined Prince Jin, wanting to help his childhood best friend.

Jimin scoffed and followed Taehyung to the dining area, where they spotted Y/n and another girl having their breakfast.

Taehyung cleared his throat, capturing the attention of the two women. Soyoung glanced at them, noticing the strangers standing behind Taehyung. However, Y/n's eyes widened when she spotted Prince Jimin and Jin. Without hesitation, she stood up and bowed to them.

"Oh, Prince Jimin and Jin, wh-what brings you here?" Y/n inquired, her tone respectful. Soyoung and Jungkook also bowed to them, surprised by their presence.

"We're sorry, Your Highness. We didn't recognize you," Taehyung looked at Jungkook in disbelief. He never spoke formally to him, yet he addressed his hyung and friend with respect, causing him to scoff inwardly.

"Oh, hey, don't be so formal. Anyway, we're practically part of this family now, right, Taehyung?" Jin teased, smiling at Taehyung, who responded with a glare.

"I'm Seokjin, the older brother of Prince Taehyung, and he's the prince of the Busan kingdom. But you guys can just call us Jin and Jimin. We don't mind," Jin introduced himself, aiming to ease any discomfort.

"Oh, yeah. Nice to meet you guys. We're actually having breakfast. It would be a pleasure if you joined us," Soyoung smiled, feeling a bit awkward. Without hesitation, Jin nodded in agreement.

The King of Ulsan, lost in his thoughts, failed to notice the Royal Supreme Commander standing nearby. The only sound in the room was the gentle tap of his fingertips dancing on the table. The Queen of Ulsan, also present, couldn't discern the nature of her husband's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, you called me," the Supreme Commander said, bowing his head. The king sighed and looked at him.

"Yes," he replied, his unease palpable, causing the queen to exchange a puzzled glance with him.

"Are you alright?" she inquired, her voice laced with worry. The king nodded, gathering his thoughts with a deep breath.

Clearing his throat, he addressed them both. "I've been pondering the situation with the Daegu Kingdom."

He paused, meeting the queen's gaze before continuing.

"As far as I can see, this marriage is not going to happen. It's been three months, and there is no clue about their intentions. This will only waste our time," His disappointment echoed in his voice, and he turned to the Supreme Commander, who listened intently, sensing the king's intentions.

"Shall we approach the King of Daegu once more on this matter?" the queen suggested, but the king chuckled softly, shaking his head.

"No,It won't work" he replied, a glint of determination in his eyes. "I have another plan in mind."

Queen furrowed her brow, unable to decipher the cryptic plan the king was speaking of.

"What's that?" she questioned, her gaze fixed on the king. But his lips curved into a smirk, adding to her confusion.

The king glanced at his supreme commander, who returned his gaze with a smug expression.

"I plan to seize control of the kingdom. I want to demonstrate my power," he declared in his deep, intimidating voice. Upon hearing his words, the queen's eyes widened in shock, struggling to believe what she had just heard.

But the king and his supreme commander only laughed out loud, their evil laughter echoing throughout the entire chamber.
