*waves* as if it hasn't been WAY too long.

I whistled a little tune as the heels of my boots clicked against the marbled tile floor. The corridor was empty, seen as this is the unoccupied wing of the palace.

I climbed up the steps, making my way to my favorite spot in the whole castle: a balcony that overlooks a small garden, a small stream flowing down the center. The sound of the water moving can be heard slightly from the balcony, and it brought me peace during my stressful times.

I saw the door, which was decorated with some gold accents that were bent into roses. I pulled on the large handles before letting out a shocked gasp.

Two people were on the balcony, one leaning the other against the railing as their lips smacked hungrily against the other's.

I cleared my throat, watching as the two people jumped apart. After taking a second to process what I had just seen, I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Jungkook? Tae? You have to be kidding me! You two are making out during your shifts?"

Taehyung blushed while Jungkook wiped the saliva off his mouth awkwardly, unable to meet my eyes.

"I know that I am friends with the two of you, but if someone else had caught you, God knows what would've happened."

They both nodded, Jungkook clearing his throat. "You're right, Hoseok. Um, it won't happen again, we promise. Right, Tae?"

Taehyung met my eyes with a shy smile and nod. "Yes, it won't happen again."

I shook my head at the two. "How long have you two, uh, been together?"

"We're not together!" Jungkook said right as Taehyung said:

"Two weeks!"

They paused and looked at each other.

I chuckled and sighed. I let the doors close behind me as I walked over to them, gripping their shoulders and facing them towards the other. "I finally confessed my feelings to the one I love, now it is time for you two to share your feelings about the other and possibly be together by the end of this, okay?" I leaned against the balcony casually. "Now, Jungkook, begin." You make me Beginnnnnn

The youngest rubbed his nape with his hand and turned to Taehyung with a shy smile. He extended a hand to grab the older's hand. "Tae, baby.... God, where do I begin? You are just... so stinkin' gorgeous. When I first saw you, I thought you were a figment of my imagination. I couldn't believe that someone as beautiful and ethereal as you could even exist. I have found myself falling so deeply in love with you that if love were an ocean, I'd have drowned by now."

I nodded. "Good. Now, Tae, it's your turn to speak."

Taehyung chuckled nervously. "Could we possibly skip the sappy, sweet stuff and get to the part where I say 'I love you so much, Kookie' so we can be together?"

Jungkook nodded, slamming his lips back on Taehyung's.

I wiped off my hands and the nonexistant sweat from my brow. "Okay boys. I'm glad to have made you two happy, but it's time for me to wallow in my sadness, so please leave. And no sex inside the castle, for crying out fucking loud."

"But castle sex is the best sex!" Taehyung whined.

Jungkook chuckled and squeezed Taehyung's hand. "Let's go, Tae. Hobi wants to be alone."

"Plus, you two are still working."

They're eyes went wide. "Oh. Right."

At that, they scattered to get back to their respective duties while I closed the doors leading to the balcony, observing the peacefulness of the quiet garden.
