Yoongi forcefully switched their positions again and pinned Taehyung to the ground as he answered, "Worry about me. I don't like you talking about other people when I'm the one in front of you."
Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle as he heard this, "Hyung, you're so insecure."
Yoongi smirked in amusement as he pinched Taehyung's cheeks, "I've been meaning to ask this for a while."
"What?"
"Who gave you permission to call me Hyung?"
"..." Taehyung's cheeks turned slightly red as he heard this. He smiled cheekily and didn't dare give an answer to that.
Yoongi pinched his cheek harder and it made the man yelp as he felt a sting of pain.
"Hyung~" He whined, "Am I not allowed to call you whatever I like?"
Yoongi seemed to ponder over it for a bit before he shook his head and answered, "No."
"..." Taehyung's smile fell and instead of it there was a heartbroken expression plastered on his face, "Your highness is too cruel."
Yoongi snickered, "Am I?"
Taehyung bobbed his head up and down as he responded without hesitation, "You are! You're the cruelest!"
Yoongi rolled his eyes playfully as he responded, "Well then I guess you don't want to know what I was going to say next."
Taehyung squinted and pouted as he heard this, "See! This is what I'm talking about. Your highness is the cruelest."
Yoongi couldn't help but laugh as he saw this adorable sight. He leaned down and pecked Taehyung's lips once before rising his head higher and pecking his nose, then he continued to go and peck his eyes before pecking his forehead.
Taehyung was still pouting as if he had been wronged, however, the blush on his face got more and more apparent, "Your highness is cruel."
Yoongi leaned near his ear and chuckled. His deep and raspy voice sending an unknown feeling down Taehyung's ears making him tremble for some reason.
Taehyung closed his eyes as he heard his heart beating out of control. He felt his body reacting to Yoongi and he was embarrassed enough to dig a hole in the ground and hide.
"Only the royal consort has the permission to call me whatever they like," Yoongi whispered and Taehyung flinched as he felt Yoongi's soft lips brush against his ears.
"A-Am I not your royal con-" Taehyung immediately stopped himself from completing that question as he realized how embarrassing it was.
Yoongi laughed as he lifted his head back up and looked into Taehyung's beautifully enticing dark eyes.
"Are you?" He asked teasingly.
Taehyung frowned as he realized how unlike of him it was to be embarrassed by something. Wasn't he known for his thick skin? He was supposed to be a man who can walk around naked in the whole country and still not feel embarrassed, but in front of Yoongi, even if they were in his own room, he would still feel embarrassed for no reason at all.
"Your highness, you're lucky I love you," Taehyung commented with a sigh.
Yoongi smiled as he heard this, "That, I am."
"So who am I if I'm not your royal consort? Am I your concubine or something?" Taehyung asked half-jokingly and the other half genuinely curious to know the answer.
Yoongi took a minute to think about it and this minute made Taehyung's eyebrows crease together in worry as he cried out, "Yah!"
Yoongi chuckled as he shook his head, "Having you as a concubine would be a waste."
Taehyung had an indecipherable expression on his face as he questioned, "Then what am I?"
Yoongi kissed his right eye as he answered, "You're my life."
"..."
"Without you, I will be nothing but a shell without a soul."
Taehyung took a sharp breath in as he wrapped his hand behind Yoongi's head, "Where do learn such cheesy lines, your highness?"
Yoongi chuckled and his chuckle was muffled by Taehyung who pulled him down and kissed him once again.
No matter how much he kissed the man, he still felt unsatisfied. He felt restless. He felt as if this was all a part of a beautiful dream and soon, he was going to wake up. If this was a dream, he would prefer to stay here forever.
Yoongi's taste melted away in his mouth and he felt the heat grow intense. He felt his fingertips pulsating along with his heart. He felt his body growing light and weak.
Yoongi wrapped his right arm around Taehyung's torso as he pulled him closer and Taehyung arched his back as he let Yoongi mend his body to whatever degree he liked.
He was soon running short of breath but he had no desire to let go. He wanted to continue for all eternity but Yoongi eventually pulled away due to breathlessness.
Their breaths were heavy as they looked into each other's eyes. Their bodies were wrapped around each other and made it look as if they were trying to become one.
"Would you?" Yoongi asked in between his heavy breathing.
"Would I what?" Taehyung gulped as he looked down at Yoongi's lips that looked moist and red, swollen as if they had been abused.
"Be my royal consort?"
"..." Taehyung immediately felt his mind going blank and his muscles tensed up under Yoongi's touch.
Yoongi could clearly see and feel the surprise, but his own heart was beating restlessly as he worried about the answer.
Taehyung's eyes snapped up from Yoongi's lips to his eyes as he questioned back, "Your highness... Are you serious?"
Yoongi smiled as he slowly nodded his head, "I don't joke around."
Taehyung gulped and for a long time, it didn't look like he was about to give an answer.
Yoongi didn't dare loosen his grip around Taehyung's torso as he rephrased his question and repeated it, "Prince Kim Taehyung of Gim and Mingyu*, would you want to marry me, Min Yoongi, The crown prince of the great Mingyu kingdom."
*He calls him a prince from both countries.
He's accepting Taehyung for both his past and present.
Taehyung felt his heart stop for a minute as he heard this question. In the next second, the only thing he was able to mutter out was a worried, "Your highness, what about your kingdom...? Nobody would be happy with-"
"Don't worry about it," Yoongi cut him off as he smiled, "Just give me an answer that is free from any such worries."
Taehyung gulped and was tongue-tied for a whole minute, but in the end, he still nodded his head reluctantly as he answered honestly, "I love you, your highness. It would be my greatest honor and pleasure to spend the rest of my life by your side."
It was like a chain that had been broken. Like a firecracker that had burst. Like an outstretched bowstring that had been let go off and like a bubble that had burst.
Yoongi wasted no time lifting himself up to sit on the ground. He pulled Taehyung along with him and dare not let go. Yoongi was on his kneel and so was Taehyung but because of the height difference, Taehyung's head was slightly higher.
His hand wrapped around Yoongi's face and Yoongi's arms wrapped around the other's torso. Their bodies were so close that they could clearly feel the heat and the heartbeat of the other.
They kissed for a really long time and they were sure that it wasn't going to stop there, however just when Yoongi's lips were trailing down on Taehyung's neck, the door opened and they immediately pushed each other off.
Hyun, who had entered without permission simply squinted at them as he spoke up, "I was knocking on the door for so long."
Yoongi coughed twice, his back was facing Hyun and hence his facial expressions were completely hidden from the eyes of the man.
Hyun pursed his lips as he pointed at them, "Your highness, have you forgotten that this is the balcony?"
Taehyung tried to fix his clothes as he heard this and Yoongi looked to be a bit shocked.
It seemed that both of them had really not realized where they were.
"At least, get yourselves a room!" Hyun scolded them.
Yoongi climbed up to his feet and straightened out his clothes as he put his hand behind his back and turned to face Hyun.
His lips were clearly swollen and moist. His eyes were closed and his face looked to be blushing profusely. His ears were completely red and although he had tried to straighten out his clothes, it was still all messed up.
Hyun's face cringed up as he saw this sight of the crown prince who had always appeared to be strict and neat.
The crown prince slowly made his way towards Hyun, "You've grown daring. You're raising your voice against your crown prince now?"
Hyun pursed his lips as he heard this, "Of course, I am! It doesn't matter if you're the crown prince or not. This balcony is supposed to be sacred!"
Taehyung chuckled as he heard his and straightened out his back, standing up in the process.
Unlike Yoongi, he didn't even bother trying to make himself look 'normal'.
His clothes were crinkled up and his lips were in the same state as Yoongi's. His collar was slightly pulled which showed his neck and collar bone more. The red spots on them made it look as if a giant mosquito had bitten him.
He smiled nonchalantly as he slightly bowed to greet Hyun, "How are you, General?"
Hyun's eyebrows creased together but he said nothing as he simply bowed his head and greeted back.
Yoongi once again coughed as he asked, "Why were you knocking?"
Hyun looked outside the Balcony before speaking up in all seriousness, "Your highness, let's walk inside first."
Yoongi seemed to have noticed the seriousness and urgency in Hyun's voice. He nodded his head as he turned his head to face Taehyung, "Do you want to come along?"
Taehyung looked back and his smile seemed to turn even brighter as he responded, "Am I invited?"
Yoongi broke out into a soft smile as he heard this. He looked over at Hyun and questioned, "I hope it's okay for him to come along?"
Hyun didn't know if he wanted to cry or laugh as he heard that, "Your highness, I cannot separate the tail from the butt*. You might as well bring him along if you like."
*to separate the tail from the butt- this should be obvious. Wherever the butt goes, the tail follows.
Yoongi smiled as he nodded in satisfaction, "You're wise."
"..."
It was Yoongi who first left the balcony and he was happily followed by Taehyung who gave the illusion of looking like an adorable loyal dog that would follow its master everywhere.
Hyun rolled his eyes as he glanced outside the balcony for one last time before heading after the other two.
They immediately went to the royal court where Yoongi sat down on his throne with Taehyung carelessly sitting on his lap like a pet.
The scene really made one wonder if Yoongi was raising Taehyung as his pet or not.
Yoongi squinted at Taehyung as he asked, "Who gave you permission to sit on my lap?"
Taehyung giggled as his arms confidently and shamelessly wrapped around Yoongi's neck, "Hyung, does your royal consort need anyone's permission to sit on what belongs to me?"
Yoongi was a bit surprised to hear this but he simply chuckled as he nodded, "Fair point."
Taehyung smiled proudly as a response.
Hyun who saw the two displaying such a public act of affection could only feel as if he was being choked on dogfood*.
*dogfood-Â This neologism refers to the self-pity of single people
Damn it... He should also find someone for himself. Maybe that way he would be able to understand the crown prince who looked as if his intelligence had been lowered and his mind was filled with only thoughts of the one sitting on his lap.
Yoongi looked up at Hyun and gestured for him to continue, "What was it?"
Hyun cleared his throat as he stretched his hand forward and showed Yoongi a letter.
Yoongi frowned as he took it, "What is this?"
"A letter from the queen of Gim."
The smile on Taehyung's face also dropped as he heard this.

How was today's chapter?
Personally, I almost thought I would end up writing smut but then again, I don't actually write smut because of personal preferences.
Like I love writing stories that have more underlying meanings and feelings. Stories that don't depend on smut are always just *chef's kiss*
Then again, this might just be a personal preference.
There are a lot of people out there who love a great story and feel that the smut is just the cherry on top.
In that case, let's just say that I prefer chocolate cake without a cherry on top XD
Next update: 23 April, 2021 the second season of Covid.
