Darkness came and went before the morning sun peeked behind the long drapes of the closed window.

Taehyung was still fast asleep when the first knock on the door was delivered, followed by another.

The bed was practically swallowing him whole as he lay curled up in a ball in the center of the mattress.

Soft snores left his lips as he snuggled further into the soft pillow.

It smelled exactly like the prince, alpha pheromones and all, providing the omega with a bittersweet feeling of protection.

He was finally awaken from his slumber by the sound of the door opening and closing before the curtains were pulled aside.

He mumbled incoherent words under his breath before his eyes finally shot open after the warm sun touched his face.

He slowly managed to sit up as he rubbed his eyes, a loud yawn leaving his lips.

It was only seconds later that he registered the other presence in the room, making him nearly jump from his position on the bed.

He immediately flushed at the realization that he was nude from the waist down, clad in only the lace underwear that he had tried on the night before.

He scrambled to hide his body under the sheets before finally looking up and meeting the person's gaze.

A sigh of relief left his lips at the sight of Seokjin standing by the window before walking back towards the door and wheeling in a tray filled with food.

"Good morning. I see you managed to sleep well." Seokjin commented as he placed the tray on Taehyung's sheet covered lap.

Taehyung smiled sheepishly at the realization that Seokjin had obviously seen what he was wearing and the way he tried to practically smother himself in the alpha's scent.

It was almost like Seokjin was beginning to warm up to him, voice friendly and almost playful.

He couldn't help the smile that graced his lips as he thanked Seokjin for the food and slowly began to dig in.

There was no way he would ever be able to finish it all but he would try to eat as much of it as possible.

He didn't even realize how hungry he was until he took the first bite, a sigh of content leaving his lips at the delicious food.

"Sorry what time is it?" He asked softly, almost embarrassed at his own question before seokjin replied.

"A quarter to nine," he replied as he moved the fancy cart to the corner of the room.

Taehyung's eyes widened and his nearly dropped his fork because the queen had specifically told him he had to be up by seven sharp.

"Don't worry, the stylists were running late anyway so I let you sleep in a few more minutes." He finally turned to offer Taehyung a small smile, encouraging.

Taehyung couldn't help feeling grateful for the male for thinking about him and making him feel welcomed.

"Thank you." Taehyung spoke softly, pausing and watching as Seokjin nodded lightly.

He proceeded to walk over to the sheer drapes around the canopy bed and pulled them completely to one side.

"W-What are you doing?" Taehyung found the courage to ask, genuinely curious and he figured Seokjin wouldn't mind.

After all, he had been nothing but kind to him.

"Someone is coming in later to change the drapes and sheets for after the wedding." He looked back at Taehyung who nearly choked on a piece of pineapple.

He immediately flushed a dark shade of red, making Seokjin stifle a light laugh at his reaction.

The mention of the wedding had Taehyung thinking of how things would play out.

After all he had never been married before, especially to a prince.

He had read about it in his books countless of times but it was different in real life.

"What will happen at the wedding?" He asked suddenly, looking at Seokjin who stopped what he was doing and turned to him.

His face was filled with what appeared to be sympathy before something soft came over his features and he slowly took a seat by the edge of the bed.

"The wedding ceremony is basically just the exchange of rings accompanied with a vow and a kiss, that's it. Then we'll celebrate afterwards with the king and queen until nightfall," Seokjin paused to take a breath and let the words settle in for Taehyung.

"After that, you'll come up here and finish the mating process. You do know what that consists of... Right?" Seokjin asked him when he realized how much Taehyung refused to look at him in the eye.

"M-Marking and then m-making love." He finally answered, voice trailing off towards the end like it was a secret.

Seokjin didn't say anything for a moment, taking in how young Taehyung truly was.

He looked and sounded so innocent and unaware of the bad things the world had to offer.

He felt almost guilty that soon it would all be gone due the royal family needing to grow thick skin.

"Don't worry too much about it. It will all play out by itself." Seokjin reassured him.

Taehyung nodded anyway despite the nervous feeling in his stomach as he placed the fork down.

"Are you done eating? Should we get started on the next task?" Seokjin asked.

When Taehyung nodded in confirmation, he was hurrying to put away the dishes and sending it out the door to a maid who was already waiting outside.

Seokjin closed the door with a huff before suddenly smiling widely at Taehyung, "Have you ever waxed before?"

-

After nearly forty-five minutes of pained whimpers and tears in his eyes, Taehyung could say that it was almost over.

He yelped as Seokjin waxed around his eyebrows, body literally throbbing in pain after doing the same to his arms, legs, armpits, and his private areas.

He had never been more embarrassed in his life, having Seokjin staring at him and feeling so exposed in front of him.

Now the people who had seen him naked had been raised to three; his mother, father, and Seokjin.

"Alright you are done. You did so good!" Seokjin complimented for the nth time in the past hour.

The poor omega was literally shaking as he nodded anyway and winced when Seokjin pulled the wax.

He began getting up to clean a bit of their mess before leaving Taehyung alone in the room for a few seconds.

The sound of the water running let Taehyung relax a bit knowing that he was just going to bathe.

The pain was gone, for the time being.

"Alright- time for a bath." Seokjin guided him to the bathroom where the fancy tub was already filled up with bubbles and warm water.

Seokjin proceeded to wash his hair and scrub his skin with a sponge.

"I will be right back." He said as he got up from his kneeled position by the tub.

Taehyung hummed lightly in response as he played with the bubbles, loving the smell of roses that wafted in the air.

Eventually Seokjin returned with a small box, carefully opening it and showing Taehyung its contents.

His eyes widened comically before he was blushing again, a soft gasp leaving his lips.

It was a beautiful pair of white satin underwear with lace along the waistline leading to the butt area.

It was gorgeous and looked very expensive if he was being honest.

"F-For me?" Taehyung looked up at Seokjin who nodded with a smile before grabbing a towel for him.

After patting himself dry Taehyung hesitantly reached out for the pretty satin material and slid it up his smooth legs.

The sizing was perfect, not too tight but not too flimsy either.

It hugged his figure beautifully and made his butt look perkier.

"Woah." Seokjin stared almost in awe.

Taehyung stood awkwardly in the center of the room feeling a little self conscious.

"You look amazing, seriously." Seokjin complimented before handing him a white silk robe that reached his knee.

"Thank you." Taehyung smiled sheepishly before pulling on the robe and walking back into the room where there were already three women waiting for him.

-

After getting his hair permed and makeup done lightly, he was ready to get dressed.

He was shocked to say the least when Seokjin walked into the room with a dress.

It was a white satin dress, matching perfectly with his undergarments as he inspected the material closely.

It was definitely beautiful but never in a million years did he think he would ever get the chance to wear something like it.

It covered all the right places yet left his collarbones and a bit of his chest exposed as well as a slit on his left leg.

It felt amazing against his skin as the women helped him put it on before they stepped back with a smile.

"You look absolutely beautiful." One of them gushed, staring at him in awe.

"T-Thank you." He said shyly as he looked up, feeling the pretty dangly earrings move.

A loud knock on the door broke them out of their trance before Seokjin opened the door to reveal the queen.

Almost immediately the women straightened their posture and dropped their smiles, bowing respectfully when she entered.

She too was dressed dashingly, makeup and hair done to perfection.

"May I have a word with you?" She asked lightly.

All of the women scrambled to exit the room, bowing their heads repeatedly on their way out.

Once the door closed shut behind all of them and they were finally alone, she spoke up.

"You look gorgeous." She complimented, making Taehyung smile bashfully at her.

"Thank you your majesty." He bowed lightly in her direction.

"How did Seokjin tend to your needs this morning?" She asked suddenly, making Taehyung confused for a second.

He wasn't sure if it was a trap to see if he would get Seokjin in trouble but regardless, the male had been nothing but attentive and kind to him.

"He was a big help your majesty, thank you." He said.

"Good because after today, he is now your handmaid." She declared, making Taehyung nearly gasp as he finally looked up at her in shock.

"But your majesty-" 

"Seokjin has served me greatly after his mother's passing but he is still a young wolf. Therefore, I see it appropriate to have him serve you." 

Taehyung couldn't help feeling the tiniest bit grateful knowing that Seokjin would be able to be by his side whenever he wanted.

But on the other hand, he couldn't see himself bossing the other male around when he was the one who looked up to him.

"Thank you, your majesty." He smiled softly before a hand was resting over his.

"No need to thank me Taehyung. We will soon be family but first, you have a wedding to get to."
