Taehyung's POV

I left my head on Jungkook's shoulder before speaking.

"You wanted to speak to me earlier, what about?" I asked the male who stood still in front of me as I softly caressed his stomach with one of my hands.

"Oh, I guess I had concerns that you and your family or workers may have the wrong idea about me after the fight earlier and the conversation between me and my old companion." He muttered.

"To be fair, the others don't really know you. They are trusting you will return us and the fact you continued your course to Japan instead of returning them first has made them question you," I hummed.

"So when the other male suggested that he may be a better option to side with, I think they considered it but knew their chances wouldn't be good against you and your crew, but they do want to go home. You have provided us with necessities though which did make them trust you a bit more again." I replied.

"You speak of your family and friends as though they have more doubt than you? Do you not think the same as them?" Jungkook questioned me.

I thought for a moment or two before answering, "Well... I can see their views, but I can also see yours. Plus honesty, I am enjoying being away from the castle. I may be pretty much your slave but I find things here very fascinating and still a delight rather than home." I responded.

Jungkook softly laughed, his mellow tones vibrating before he spoke, "Sounds like you are a bit too rebellious compared to your role in society." Jungkook hummed.

I smiled, "I do wish I had another option. Jin is so perfect for the royal life, even though he's not even the King's son. I do feel like I am a disappointment which probably is why I do feel like I live under control of others because I want to please my family so badly seen as I know they frown upon me." I explained.

"Ye family is feral, I don't know how ye put up with them." Jungkook scoffed.

"Family is family. I look at my mother and I do not see the Queen whereas you would. I see her as a woman who'd run around the garden chasing after me when I take off my sunhat. The world sees her as an important business woman who is to step up and run a country beside my dad." I explained.

"Your mother sounds nice when you speak of her like that." Jungkook mentioned.

"She is nice. Just she has no rights anymore. She does everything to align with my father. She keeps quiet as she wasn't born to rule. She explained to me once that her right was to bear the child of the King and nothing more, other than to look pretty beside him." I explained.

Jungkook scoffed.

"Yeah, it's quite disgusting really." I hummed.

"Disgusting but you must repeat it." Jungkook reminded me.

I sighed, "I think because I have seen what has happened to my mother, it really hurts me if I have to do that to a woman. Their suffering will come from me and they can't even have a say." I complained.

"Why can't she have a say, Taehyung? You are in control, you can change it and she can have her say." Jungkook told me.

I snickered, "Yeah and then she'd bad mouth me in front of the entire country or world because I do not want her." I snapped.

"But maybe you will want her after she has more rights?" Jungkook suggested.

No, I still don't want a woman because I am gay.

I don't even want to have sex with a woman to bring new royal blood into the world, yet I sadly must.

"Jungkook, you don't get it." I mentioned pulling away from hugging him.

He now turned to look at me as I looked out to sea.

"My entire future is not a choice, it is a must. I will forever resist the future I was born into because I simply can't get away from duty's." I muttered.

"Taehyung, why do you keep thinking that way? They are brainwashing you that you don't have options when you technically do. It's your life to live, you could run away or do whatever you want. You don't have to comply. It may be a shitty thing in their eyes but ye really don't have to go along with the future they set for you." Jungkook told me.

I looked back at Jungkook, of course he is right but he is right that it'd be shitty for me to leave or not go along with my designed future.

"Tell me, what would you do with your future if you could choose?" Jungkook asked me.

I stood there thinking for a moment before responding unsurely, "I haven't ever thought of that, I don't know much of what I would do with my future."

"That implies that you have some ideas though." Jungkook hummed.

I softly smiled.

"I suppose." I replied.

"Aren't ye gonna tell me? Is it something embarrassing like you want to be a stripper or something?" Jungkook asked with a chuckle.

I shook my head while smiling.

"No, nothing like that," I began.

"Are ya gonna tell me?" He cut in impatiently.

I laughed before I nodded.

"Well... I know I'd like to spend more time with you in the future."
