Today was the day of the event and everyone in the palace and kingdom was invited. I was wearing a beautiful white dress with white heals. I thought about wearing a necklace to the event but chose not to. As I was doing my hair and makeup the door creaked open and Taehyung walked inside.
He already had his outfit on, and... he kinda look... hot. Black really suited him. He glanced at me licking his lips in the process.
"You look stunning, as always," he remarked making his way towards me. "You don't look bad yourself, Taehyung," I say. He smirks, "Why thank you, princess," he says.
I felt a surge of annoyance at his casual demeanor. It was as if he didn't care about the forced relationship that we were both trapped in. I tried to focus on getting ready for the event, but his presence was a constant distraction.
As I put the finishing touches on my hair, Taehyung came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I stiffened at his touch, feeling the familiar surge of discomfort that always accompanied his space.
"Taehyung, what are you doing?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
"Just admiring the view,"he replied, resting his chin on my shoulder. "You know, we have to make a good impression today. The whole kingdom will be watching."
I resisted the urge to push him away, knowing that it would only escalate the situation. Instead, I freed myself from his grasp.
"I can handle myself just fine, Taehyung," I said, trying to get some control over the situation.
He chuckled, a low sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Of course you can, princess. But it doesn't hurt to have a prince by your side," he said, his voice dripping with arrogance.
I rolled my eyes before focusing on the task at hand and made my way to the event hall, with Taehyung following close behind.
The hall was filled with people, the air buzzing with excitement and anticipation. As we made our entrance, all eyes turned towards us, and I felt a pang of unease at being the center of attention once again.
Taehyung's hand found its way to the small of my back, guiding me through the crowd with possessive familiarity. I gritted my teeth, hating the way he acted as if he owned me.
I spotted my father and pulled Taehyung to him. The moment my father saw me, his eyes fluttered with excitement.
"Alexis! You look ... beautiful. You look just like your mother when she was younger," my father says and I let out a short smile.
"And Taehyung... You look as handsome as ever," my father stated and Taehyung smirks, "Why thank you, sir, but I believe your beloved daughter here looks more angelic than I," he responds.
A simple, plain smile played on my lips.
I observed as one of my guards walked towards my father,"Sir, they are requesting your presence," he says.
"Alright...." he shifted his gaze towards us, "I must be leaving now, Taehyung take care of my beautiful princess for me, please," father says.
"I will, sir," Taehyung responded, with a smile.
Father walked off and Taehyung and I pushed past our way to the crowd. I found a seat near the balcony and sat down while Taehyung went to go get us something to drink.
What felt like hours Taehyung had finally returned but 6 unfamiliar guys were with him.
I glared at them, "You said you was going to bring back something to drink not bring back 6 unfamiliar guys..." I said.
"When you said she was feisty... I didn't know you was for real," a blonde say to Taehyung.
I rolled my eyes, "Did you get the right drink that I wanted?" I asked.
"Yep, a sprite," Taehyung says. "You didn't put anything in it... right?" I asked, "Of course not..." Taehyung says. I chose to believe him and grabbed the sprite from out of his hand.
As I took a sip of it, I instantly spitted it out. "Where did you get this from..." I asked him, in disgust.
"Where the food was, why?" Taehyung asked.
"Because it taste like pee...." I say, wiping my tongue with a towel from the table.
"You're probably just overreacting," Taehyung says, taking the sprite from out of my hands and place it on his lips. He takes a sip and he too spitted it out.
Taehyung was about to say something but was cut off by my father. "Hello, ladies and gentlemen!" his voice echoed through the mic, "It has come to my attention that the sprite taste like piss to most of all guest, so for no more other complaints... I'll be shutting down the sprite area so it could be fix!" he announced.
So, it wasn't just us... good. I wondered to myself.
The night continued with different types of music. First, pop music, then K-pop, then J-pop. But, they mostly played K-pop songs more frequently and some of the songs I barely knew.
Taehyung chatted with his friends and I was just observing the other guests. I wasn't really paying attention because when I was staring at the other guest I didn't hear Taehyung calling my name until he began to finger me.
It had caught my attention, and I quickly pushed his hands away. He smirk before licking his lips.
"You know you was enjoying that," Taehyung spoke in a deep, husky tone.
I rolled my eyes, "Why am I in relationship with you..." I thought to myself.

As the night went on, Taehyung's behavior became increasingly erratic. He would whisper inappropriate comments in my ear, touch me in ways that made me uncomfortable, and overall just make me feel on edge.
I tried my best to ignore him and focus on enjoying the event, but it was becoming increasingly difficult. I found myself longing to escape, to be free from his possessive grip.
Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up abruptly, making my way towards the exit, ignoring Taehyung's protests behind me. I needed space, I needed air, I needed to get away from him.
As I stepped outside into the cool night air, I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. I knew that I couldn't continue this charade any longer. I needed to find a way out, to break free from this toxic relationship.
And as I stood there, under the moonlit sky, I made a decision. I would no longer be a prisoner to Taehyung's desires. I would take control of my own life and find a way to escape.
With determination in my heart, I walked away from the palace, leaving behind the party and Taehyung, ready to start a new chapter in my life, free from his hold. And as I walked into the night, I felt a sense of liberation, knowing that I was finally breaking free.
