Taehyung's POV

(Mentions of Sexual themes)

I got up, stretching my arms and legs before making my way up the stairs to where the rest of the royals were.

We were given the task to clean the bathrooms and such, however my throat grew dry with every step towards the bathroom.

My nose scrunched up hearing desperate moans from a female and a male.

"Some people don't seem to stick to the captain's rules much." My cousin, Namjoon muttered when returning my look of disgust upon seeing me.

"Are they showering together?" I questioned, looking at one of the curtains being pulled.

"Yeah, it is annoying we have to clean the toilets and showers, otherwise we may not have to hear them as much." Namjoon commented while passing me an old looking rag.

"I don't overly want to clean the showers while they are doing their business though. Let's start with the toilets." Hoseok suggested.

We all agreed, moving to the few toilets to clean.

I sighed while wetting my rag in the sink before getting down on my hands and knees to scrub the bathroom floor of one cubicle.

While I did that, Yoongi cleaned the actual toilet of our cubicle.

"God, these look like they haven't been cleaned in years." Yoongi grimaced.

"I'd say it was likely forgotten to be cleaned." I responded while trying to forget what I could be scrubbing off from the ground.

The possibility of dirt, sea water, normal water, piss, number twos or even people's own private sexual fluids came to mind.

"Jin's lucky that he doesn't have to do this." Namjoon huffed from the other cubicle.

"Where is he?" I asked, waiting for an answer from any of the 3 other men that I was working with.

"Jimins fitting him for some clothes." Hoseok replied.

I nodded in silence, ringing my rag off in a bucket.

I gagged hearing moaning once again from the room beside us.

"For fuck sakes, do you have no decency? The almost King of South Korea and the Prince of Seoul can hear you doing your business!" Yoongi growled from the cubicle that us two were cleaning, hoping the couple would hear him.

Their moans instantly stopped, hearing Yoongi's angry and frustrated raspy tone.

And a couple minutes after I heard the curtain be pulled back.

In Korea, but more particularly the palace, sex is a very taboo topic.

Sex is to be private and with your wife preferably.

It is sacred and meaningful.

You also don't experience it around anyone else, speak of such acts, or change partners constantly.

Therefore the behaviour of the crew onboard is disgusting compared to everything I know.

I know that sexual practices don't happen the same for everyone, but while I am here, I don't want to hear sex sounds.

Not unless I'm having sex with the captain.

Actually scratch that thought, what am I even thinking?

He's probably heterosexual and even if he's not, I will be the king of South Korea soon. I need to learn my place in society, not try and change it a couple weeks out from being crowned king.

That's if we actually get taken back to South Korea.

"I don't want to overly clean the showers now." Namjoon whined.

"Yeah, especially not the part in particular that they were in." Yoongi complained as we just looked at the showers.

"Sadly they probably have done their business in every curtain by now." I mumbled.

"Oh that makes it even worse because I doubt they get cleaned often too." Namjoon grimaced.

However his face pulled upwards, a playful smile reaching his lips as he spoke, "I don't know why it bothers you because it's the closest you have ever gotten to having sex." Namjoon commented.

I sent him a scowl.

"Excuse me, you don't know my private business." I shot back while crossing my arms across my chest.

"Okay well which out of the fine thirty girls that you have met up with did you have sex with? Because I am pretty sure you left the room as soon as you could according to your brother." Namjoon teased further.

And I am now back to hating my cousin.

He is embarrassing me in front of our staff.

"Shut up." I snapped in annoyance as Namjoon gave me a glare before starting to clean the wall of the shower furthest from where the couple earlier had sex.

"Sex is a sin anyways so I don't want to experience it you nasty." I lied in annoyance.

"Sex isn't a sin." I heard an amused chuckle come from behind me.

Shivers were sent down my spine recognizing the gorgeous tone of the captain.

"Why isn't it?" I asked, now looking over at the captain who stood leaning against the wall to the entrance of the shower room.

"Well why is it?" He asked me back, possibly wishing for me to speak informally before he did out of respect.

"Because you're doing nasty business and leaving your own body fluids in weird places." I explained.

He laughed again, "Sex is a natural phenomena which for you riches can be for reproduction which is a beautiful event." He spoke calmly.

"Amen to that." Namjoon hummed.

"However, just because you lot are rich, doesn't make you not have nasty desires, so if you are with the right person then I'd also argue that it's fun and makes you feel good so it's not a bad act to happen." He mumbled, possibly feeling a bit more uncomfortable now with the conversation.

I stayed quiet while watching him pull a cigar out of his pocket, lighting it with a box of matches before dropping the used match stick in a bucket of water that we had by the door.

"Taehyung, you will learn someday." Namjoon chuckled.

I felt more anger building inside of me as the captain too looked amused with Namjoon teasing me.

"What's Taehyung learning?" I heard Jimins softer voice ask as he appeared by the captain.

"About sex." The captain amusingly announced.

"You don't learn about sex? Aren't you rich enough to hire prostitutes?" Jimin gasped.

"I- Yes I am rich enough and yes I have learnt about it but it's a very private act that should not be spoken much about in the palace." I snapped.

"Good thing we aren't in your palace then." The captain chipped in again.

"Tae just don't make comments until you have sex. God I miss my girl, I could go all night with her-" Jimin began gushing.

"Ew gross, that's too much private information." The captain snapped while looking disgusted.

But many guys are keen on thinking about girls inappropriately, but maybe he hasn't had one for a while or something.

His reaction just didn't make much sense to me.

"Yeah I miss my girl too. She's such a fine woman." Namjoon commented.

The other males with us nodded too, thinking about their female counterparts.

"Okay now you lot got boring, Jimin, what are you doing here and not making clothing? I did not let you rest." The captain commented.

"I just needed to use the bathroom and got distracted, sorry." Jimin muttered as he hurried into the next room to use the toilet.

"And you, I didn't say you could stop working either." The captain snapped while looking straight at me, blowing smoke out of his mouth before his words.

"I will not be cleaning this room, the amount of horrific indecency that I have witnessed from your crew taking part in sexual play here is disgusting." I stammered.

The captain looked taken back for a second and I noticed Namjoon peering over his shoulder to see if my complaining worked, possibly hoping to do the same if it does work.

I watched as the captain dropped his cigar into the wet bucket.

His eyes seemed quite dark and less friendly than moments ago.

My heart was pounding as he stepped towards me.

I took a step back but felt air escape my lips as he too stepped even closer to me, squishing me against the bathroom wall and him.

"Kim Taehyung, you'd be delighted to know that plenty of people have done their business in the toilet room that you just cleaned, or over your beds that you are sleeping in right now. If you can clean one room where those actions can take place, then you can fucking clean another." He snapped.

My heart was pounding as his words completely controlled me.

I looked away from the attractive male in front of me who made me feel so weak and inferior.

"You can not tell me you are almost twenty five and haven't touched yourself sexually either so you are guilty of sexual acts and you will be cleaning up whatever messes are in here, whether it's your mess or someone else's because that is what I told you to do." He continued, the low textures of his voice coming through clearly which was hot but also very scary.

"You will do as you are told, do I make myself clear runt?" He asked coldly.

I nodded and didn't answer him.

"Good, now get to fucking work Kim Taehyung because I am not afraid of punishing you."

Chills stung my entire body as he walked away.

His closeness to my body was so attractive that I almost forgot to breathe but his words weren't friendly at all.

It seems that I need to learn his boundaries because he is not always going to be willing to meet my needs.

He is trying to reinforce dominance and control over me, and it is certainly working.

Just it scares me how truly dominant he is over me.

I could go back to Korea but still be in his control because he is smart and coercive.

"Well that didn't go too well." Hoseok muttered.

"Aren't you supposed to be protecting him?" Hoseok wondered aloud while looking at Yoongi.

"You want me to die to a pirate just to keep him from getting close to the prince. I think not. I'd only step in if he tries to hurt Taehyung." Yoongi replied while I picked up my rag that slipped out of my hand at the captain's closeness earlier.

"It's okay. I didn't get hurt so he did not need to step in." I reassured Yoongi.

I started cleaning, however Jimin who heard everything from the toilet room came over to me, whispering in my ear some words that were entirely true before finding his way back to Jin.

Those words rang in my brain on repeat for the entire time that I cleaned the shower room.

"Don't act like Jin, he does not react well to demands."
