Taehyung was sweating.

Not in the kind that makes you feel nice and productive after a long workout, limbs slightly sore but feeling stronger.

No, this was the kind that made him want to rip his hair out and cry out in frustration simultaneously.

His forehead felt gross and sticky with sweat as he walked around the palace garden, clipboard in hand as he watched one of the hired help put down one of the many floral arrangements.

He felt himself slightly relax when the arrangement was placed in the perfect spot, soft sigh leaving his lips as he thanked the men and checked off the last arrangement on the list.

He hadn't realized someone had come up from behind him until a hand was placed onto his left shoulder, startling him and making him jump in surprise.

"Relax darling, come on. That was the last of it, let's go get you ready."

Jimin reassured him, taking the clipboard from Taehyung's hands and lacing their fingers together before beginning to drag him away.

Taehyung smiled softly as he let himself be dragged away, following after Jimin like a child as the prince made his way up to the king's chambers.

Upon entering his bedroom, Taehyung frowned at the realization that Jeongguk was nowhere to be found.

"Where is-?" He began softly, brows furrowed in confusion because Jeongguk had specifically taken time off for the big day tomorrow.

"He's staying in the guest quarters." Jimin spoke as he let go of Taehyung's hand and picked up one of the many duffel bags he had placed by the nightstand.

He began making his way into the bathroom, leaving Taehyung alone in the room momentarily before the sound of water running filled his ears.

"Is it because of what he told me earlier?" Taehyung sighed softly as he watched Jimin reappear and begin ushering him over to the bath.

"He is trying to be a gentleman, that's all." Jimin murmured lightly as he turned around the second Taehyung began removing his top.

Taehyung fumbled with the button on his pants before sliding them down his legs quickly along with his underwear.

He slipped into the warm bubble bath with tense shoulders, muscles instantly relaxing as he rested his arms against the edge of the tub.

"I told him he didn't have to." He frowned, recalling Jeongguk telling him he didn't want them to see each other before the wedding day.

Of course the omega had insisted he didn't mind sleeping together the night before but the alpha had been persistent in his idea.

Something about it being tradition and he wanted to wait to see Taehyung until he was walking down the aisle.

"Well would you not agree that the anticipation is better? Waiting to see each other until the big moment?" Jimin hummed, grabbing a soft cloth and beginning to massage Taehyung's shoulders.

"Perhaps," he mumbled in agreement, still slightly pouty when Jimin asked him if Seokjin had come by earlier that day like he had promised.

He had brought everything he needed to prepare Taehyung like the first time, much to the omega's dismay when the waxing strips came out.

"Someone will bring your dress first thing tomorrow morning." Jimin informed him, lathering shampoo into his hands before massaging it into his scalp.

"Thank you, Jimin," Taehyung mumbled lightly, nearly falling asleep in the bath as Jimin washed his hair with a fond smile on his lips.

"Anything for you." He replied almost immediately, making Taehyung's heart flutter for just a moment.

By the time Taehyung's body was scrubbed clean and his hair was rinsed, the water had gotten cold and the omega was handed a towel to dry off.

Jimin left to the bedroom to give him privacy to change into his underwear and a robe before surprising him with a lovely white box displayed on his bed with a huge golden ribbon.

The sight of the gift drew a gasp from Taehyung who emerged in a white fluffy robe tied around his waist before his eyes went to Jimin.

"What-?" He questioned in surprise, touched by the gesture as he hesitantly sat down beside the box.

"Open it!" Jimin gushed, standing in front of him with his hands clasped together as he waited for Taehyung to open it.

The omega gave him a look that said 'thank you but you really shouldn't have' before eventually undoing the pretty bow.

Another gasp quickly followed as he stared wide eyed at the gorgeous yet sexy article of clothing.

A stunning set of white lacy lingerie with a matching bra and panties laid in the box, sheer material all around.

There was a pretty, cream colored silk robe beneath the matching set as Taehyung picked up the thin material and traced the lace design with his fingertips.

The thought of wearing it, of Jeongguk seeing him in it, made his breathing hitch at the image of his rough hands caressing his skin.

"Jimin," Taehyung breathed out softly, trying to conceal the blush on his cheeks but failing to do so miserably.

"I know he likes white on you," he supplied, cheeky grin on his lips as he recalled how a few weeks ago Jeongguk could not keep his eyes off the omega as he wore a pretty white summer dress.

"You don't have to wear the bra if you don't want to of course! The designer insisted on sending the full set and I thought you would like it. So, what do you think?"

He was rambling, staring at Taehyung expectantly as the omega picked up each piece of the set with careful eyes, admiring it all together.

"It's gorgeous, Jimin. I love it, thank you." He mumbled softly, giving the other omega a smile before setting the material down and standing up, wrapping his arms around him gently.

If Jimin was surprised by the action, Taehyung didn't see, chin resting on the omega's shoulder as arms wrapped around his body in return.

"You're welcome, lovely. I'm so happy that you're happy." He murmured, arms still around Taehyung's body as they stood there in peaceful silence, basking in each other's comforting scent.

"Remember to relax," Jimin said softly, making Taehyung confused for a split second before he elaborated.

"It helps with knotting. I've heard it can get-... Painful." Jimin hummed, stepping back with a light laugh at the sound of a small whine leaving taehyung's lips.

"Alright, alright! We don't have to talk about it," he said, pinching Taehyung's warm cheeks lightly despite the omega's embarrassed pout.

He could tell Taehyung was holding something back by the way he bit his lip harshly, clearly contemplating whether he should speak up or not.

"What is it? Is something bothering you?" Jimin frowned, slightly fearing the omega was growing doubtful.

"You can tell me anything Taehyung. What is the matter?" He pressed on, caressing the hair on Taehyung's neck softly in a soothing manner.

Taehyung stepped back slowly until he eventually sat back down on the mattress, Jimin following suit beside him as he waited for the omega to tell him.

"It's just... You two are close, right?" He spoke hesitantly, embarrassment written all over his face as Jimin nodded at him in response.

"I-I know he's been with other omegas before, who were probably much more experienced than me. I-I guess I'm a little insecure he'll be disappointed."

Jimin's expression immediately softened at his words, hands reaching out to Taehyung's lap where he laced their fingers together in comfort.

"Darling, he loves you. I don't think you could do a single thing that would make him change his mind about you. But just between us, I think he likes your inexperience. What alpha wouldn't?" 

Jimin winked at him with a smile, making Taehyung's worried expression morph into a shy one as he looked down at his lap with a slight curve of his lips.

"You think so?" He mumbled softly, brows still slightly furrowed in concern.

"I know so. If there is one thing I've learned from growing up by his side, is that he's one possessive asshole. The thought of you being intimate only with him must give him the ego boost."

Jimin rolled his eyes with a slight snort, successfully easing Taehyung's fears as he managed to giggle softly.

"Thank you," Taehyung spoke gently, grinning at Jimin who nodded at him reassuringly as if saying 'anytime'.

"Now," the prince inhaled sharply, rising from his seat on the mattress and letting go of Taehyung's hand.

"How about we put on a face mask and relax a little before the big day?"
