Kibum’s POV

Why is it so hot here? And what’s this weight that’s pressing me down?! With great difficulty, I opened my eyes. Luckily, this time, someone had the sense to close the blinds. As I let my eyes adjust to the light, I felt hot breath on my neck. It took me great efforts not to scream! !!!! There was someone in my bed or more like I was in someone else’s bed!!!!! OH GOD! Please let it not be some old creep! Please! Please! I promise to be good! Just let it not be some creep! As I turned around, the sight made my body freeze. Lying next to me and breathing down my neck was no other than MINHO! Oh God! Now I remember! He KIDNAPPED AND DRUGGED me! He also KISSED me yesterday! Well, I think it was yesterday. How long did I sleep? And why is he in my bed?? As I shifted my body to take a better look at him, I felt something poke my thigh! What is that!? I tried feeling it with my hand; with his arm flung around my waist, my movements where limited. As I touched it, I felt my cheeks flush! MORNING WOOD! I pulled my hand back as if it was scalded! Now that I remember, he was always in this state in the morning. A fact I knew from sharing a small dorm bed all those years ago. Why do I remember that fact still? I felt him twitch. I quickly closed my eyes to avoid any embarrassing confrontation, pretending to be asleep. I could feel his eyes on my face. It was becoming pretty unnerving, pretending to be asleep. Then, I felt him brush my hair from my face, as he pecked my forehead! OH GOD! Please don’t blush!!!! Please don’t blush!

“You’re a pretty good sight to wake up to!”   I heard him say.  WHAT?????

“You’re a pretty good sight to wake up to!” I whispered as I got up to stretch. I decided to sleep next to Kibum after getting that message from Jinki hyung. And, for once in five years, I slept well without any prescription pills. I looked at him and saw his black eyelashes fanning his snow white cheeks, creating a perfect contrast. A cute pout decorated his bow shaped lips. Kibum was truly a god’s master piece. I could sit and stare at him the entire day! But sadly, I had too much to take care of. Deciding to let him sleep more, I made my way to the attached bath to take a shower.

Kibum’s POV

Fuuuu!!! That was close, I almost got caught! I should probably get an Oscar for my acting hehehe! Just then, I heard the shower start in the attached bathroom. So he was still here taking a bath! This is my chance to sneak away! Quickly getting up, I made a dash toward the door! But lady luck was just not with me! In my haste I stubbed my toe on that damned coffee table! Ouch!! , it hurts!  Who the hell makes tables like these????? I felt tears prick my eyes as I hopped on one foot while holding on to the other. I heard the shower stop! ! I ran out of time!!! I quickly made my way back to the bed and flung myself on it just in time as the door opened to reveal a Minho with only a towel around his waist! BY GOD! He has some killer abs! I peeked from under my covers as he made his way towards the walk-in closet. He stood there, contemplating on what to wear for the day. Can you just put something on quickly and not flaunt your Super-HOT Greek body!!!! I screamed internally! After much contemplation he pulled a black trouser and white shirt. After pulling on his pants he shrugged his shirt on and made his way to the bed. I could feel him bend over me. Too Close!!!! I felt his breath on my face. As I scrunched up my face, I heard him chuckle.

Minho’s POV

As I leaned over him, his face scrunched up a little. I couldn’t help but chuckle! Just as I was about to peck his lips I heard someone knock on the door. Turning around, I permitted the person to enter.

“Your Majesty.” the guard bowed to me in a greeting.

“Yes?”

“We got a message from the troops. His Grace is on His way to Dokkam and should be here in a few hours.” Sighing at the news I already knew of, I replied-

“Arraso! Make sure his room is ready. Make sure it is done the way he likes. I do not want him to have to experience any discomfort.”

Nodding, he made his way out. Sighing, I decided to start my day.

Kibum’s POV

As I heard him leave I sat up in bed. Huh! What was that? Why do these weird people keep addressing Minho as ‘Your Majesty’??? And who’s ‘His Grace’? I need to find answers to these questions if I am to find my way out of this place! Nodding to myself, I pumped my fist in Hwaiting motion! I heard the door open again, and I looked up to see that it was the butler from yesterday. Things from yesterday were slowly coming back to me. My cheeks went red as I remembered how I behaved toward him! He calmly made his way in towards the bed and said-

“Good Morning Young Master, I presume you slept well.” he smiled

“Ahhh….ye…yes yes I did…..”

“Good! How do you feel today?”

“Hmm…I’m feeling pretty well…..”

“Great! Would you like to take a bath now? I can draw it for you.”

“Emmm….”

“Is there some problem Master?” I blushed a bit as I looked at him and said,

“I…I’m rea…really sorry for the way I behaved yesterday……”

Laughing, he replied,

“Not to worry; I know young master wasn’t feeling like himself. That’s why I hope a good night’s rest did you well!”

“Ahh…..yes, yes it did!” I smiled a small smile. “Emmm….can I ask you something?”

“Yes, of course!”

“Emmm…..where is this place?”

“This? This is Dokkam. It is a part of South Korea.”

“South Korea? Why do people here keep addressing Minho as ‘Your Majesty’?” he stared at me with shock as he replied,

“That’ is because he is the King! His Royal Majesty King Minho ascended the throne almost five years ago!”

“KI….KING!!!”

Chuckling to my reaction he said,

“I’m assuming he never told you.” When he saw me nod my head in denial he continued, “Five years ago, we lost our previous king to a deadly disease and Prince Minho took his place.”

“So….So this place…..” OH MY GOD!!!!! PLEASE LET IT NOT BE WHAT I THINK IT IS! PLEASE! NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“This is the royal palace of Dokkam.” I felt my stomach drop! MINHO is a KING! I’m in South Korea! How am I supposed to return home now?!!!! I don’t have my passport with me or access to any of my bank accounts! I’m screwed!!!!!

“ter….Young Master…..” I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him questioningly.

“Are you alright? You look pale, do you want me to call the royal physician?”

“Ahhh…no no I’m fine. I’d like to take that bath you previously offered.” I reassured him. ROYAL PHYSICIAN???????? KING OF DOKKAM????? SOUTH KOREA??????

“Oh certainly!” As he rushed to the bathroom to fill up the bath, I sat there contemplating my situation. Minho never said anything about being a prince. Well I knew he was rich from the clothes he used and all, but KING! How do I even get out?! If this is the Royal Palace (Oh My God!) then I cannot imagine the security it will have! No wonder he could drug and kidnap me so easily!

“Master, your bath is ready.” I nodded to him as I made my way to the bathroom. WOW! The bathroom was HUGE! Is that gold?! The entire bathroom was decorated in shades of gold and rose. On one side, there was a huge bath tub. It was as big as my living room!

Kibum's Room's Bathroom

As I got in the tub, I felt my muscles relax. The water had a soothing scent. I felt myself getting drowsy as water worked on soothing my tense muscles! When I felt the water start cooling, I decided to get out. After toweling my body, I pulled on the robe that was laid there. Oh God! I forgot about clothes! I didn’t know I would be taking this trip across the globe or I would have packed! Aish! As I left the bathroom, I took my time to notice the bedroom. It was tastefully decorated with shades of pink and gold. There, in the middle of the room, was a bed that was placed on a raised platform. One side of the room had a set of couches in peach color.

Kibum's Room

“Young Master?”

“Emmm….I don’t have any clothes?” I told him shyly as I held my robe tight.

“Ah....I’m sorry Young Master I forgot to inform you. Your closet is fully stocked for you to use.” Ehhh!!! I made my way to the walk in closet. The entire room was lined with wall mirrors!

Kibum's Walk in Closet 

The butler walked near one of the mirror and pulled it open to expose a hidden cupboard behind it. Moving aside, he let me select something to put on. He left me to get dressed. I decided to go with a simple printed T-shirt and pant, both in neutral colours. Making my way out, I found him standing near the door.

“Emmm…..how should I address you?” I can’t keep calling him butler!

“My name is Soojin, you can call me Soojin Hyung if you like.” he smiled,which I returned. No need to be harsh to the butler! Poor guy probably doesn’t even know what crazy master he serves!

“Would you like some brunch?”

“Sure!” As he left to get me something to eat, I decided to take my chance and see if I can find my way to the main door. As I walked through the hallways, I saw many guards stationed all around the palace. Soon, I found myself in some kind of courtyard.

Palace Courtyard

As I walked around taking in the beauty of it. I heard some ruckus coming from the direction I was heading to. I rushed to check what was happening. That’s when I felt something collide on my stomach, knocking the wind out of me. I fell on the floor with something on top of me. I laid there, trying to get my breath back, when I heard the thing on top of me moan!

“Ouchieee!!!!” It sat up and rubbed it’s head. That’s when I noticed it was a kid. He must be around three-four years old. As I sat up, I noticed him looking around as he kept rubbing his head.

“Hey kid are you alright? Are you hurt?” as he looked up to me, I couldn’t help but squeal internally! He was so CUTE!!!

Baby Taemin ( 4 year old)

I not KID! I Four!”  he said holding up four little fingers! Aigoo!!! I could’t help but pinch his cubby cheeks.

“You are sooo cuteee!!!” he swatted my hand away and puffed his cheeks!

“I not cute! I handsome!My mommy tell, I a boy;boy handome! My daddy boy! He handsome!”Oh Boy! He talks a lot! Chuckling a bit, I said-

“Ok! We’ll call you handsome. So does this handsome have a name?” Suddenly he gave me a suspicious glare!

“Mommy tell not talk to swanger.” He folded his arms on his chest as he glared at me a bit.

“I’m not a stranger. My name is Kibum!” he didn’t look convinced but still gave me his name.

“I Taemin!” he said patting his chest to make his point. How can he be sooo cuteee!!!! I want to cuddle him!!!!

“Hi Taemin! Would you like to be my friend?” I said putting my hand in front of him for a  handshake. I didn’t expect him to take is so readily! He started shaking it with all his might while yelling,

“YES!!!! Kidum Taemin’s Fwend!”

“Kibum….not Kidum!” I laugh.

“So Taemin do you stay here?” I decided to inquire him. I’m sure Minho dosen’t stay here all alone. Well I hope he dosen’t.

“NO ! I ta..tawel win cwar weth my Mommy! I sway in H…Hsal. Taemin Piwnce!” he said proudly. Huh!!! Hsal? What’s that? Just then we heard loud footsteps coming our way followed by shouts of “Prince Taemin!” “Prince Taemin!”. Quickly getting up, Taemin hid behid me. I looked up to see a few guards coming to stop in front of me.

“Young Master, have you seen a kid around four years old somewhere?” As I was standing near a pillar it was difficult for them to see Taemin who stood behind me. I decided to play along and see-

“Emmm….no I haven’t seen any kid.”

“Ah…sorry to disturb you!” Saying this, they turned around and went to search for him in a different direction. Suddenly a loud scream peirced from behind me as Taemin came out of his hiding and started running towards the lawn. Poor kid stumbled on the stairs in his haste and fell down! Loud screams escaped him as he cried. My heart clinched at the sight and  I quickly made my way to him, gently picking him. From the corner of my eyes, I saw gurads coming towards us.

“Hush darling! It’s alright, I got you baby! Don’t cry!” I picked him up and patted his back to sooth him.

“It’s ok baby. I’m here!” I bounced him, trying to sooth him. Just then we heard someone call out to him.

“Taemin!”  I looked up and saw a beautiful yet petite male making his way towards us. He was a bit shorter than me, with soft, brown hair. I could tell he was an omega from his built. Hearing him, Taemin looked up from my shoulders and moved his body toward him, calling out,

“Mommyyyyy!!!!” Mommy? So this was Taemin’s mom! He is very beautiful! As he took Taemin in his arms, I saw him rub Taemin’s back in a soothing motion.

“Aigooo baby! What happened? I told you not to run around right! Did you fall down?” he scolded softly.

“Mommyyy! Bad!” Taemin said as he pointed to the stairs he fell from.

“These stairs made you fall?” Nodding to his mom, he continued to complain about the stairs,

“Twell Daddy! Bad!”

“Aigoo! Yes we’ll tell your father about the stairs okay? Why were you running baby, didn’t I tell you not to run?”

“Winsect!” Taemin cutely pointed towards the pillar.

“Aigoo! My baby got scared of insect?” Taemin started nodding his head as he pouted cutely. I couldn’t help but chuckle at their cute interaction! Maybe I was loud as hearing me, the male suddenly looked at me. His eyes held a softness that made you relax in his presence. Involuntarily, I felt myself relax.

“And who could you be?”  he inquired.
