II. The Castle

"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Roald Dahl.

Jimin was sitting at the end of a large white marble table and in front of him were all sorts of dishes he never had a chance to taste before. He was surprised because he was expecting extraordinary meals in a fantastic world but apparently they ate exactly like humans. Smoked fish, grilled meat, seafood and all kinds of chocolate desserts.

He wondered how he could eat all these wonders alone with Taehyung's company, maybe elves eat a lot?

The master of the mansion was sitting at the other end of the table, at least five meters farther than Jimin.

He couldn't stop looking at him, not because it was the first time he had met a real elf out of his books, but because Taehyung was the most handsome male he met in his life.

His long white hair descended majestically all along his back and we could see the brilliance of his blue eyes from far away.

Of all the elves he saw inside the mansion, Taehyung was certainly the one whose beauty was incomparable.

"I think eating will be more suitable for you than watching me." he heard him say.

The young man blushed as hard as he could be unnoticed in the middle of a tomato plantation.

The duke watched him with amusement as he tasted his meat.

"I-I'm sorry." Jimin mumbled shyly. "It wasn't my intention to disturb you."

"Oh, but you did not bother me." Taehyung shook his head. "It makes me happy that such a handsome man like you admires me but I think you are very hungry after such a long trip."

Handsome..

Jimin nodded with a smile and started eating.

"Then Jimin." the white haired cleared his throat. "What do you desire to do today?"

"Uh? I-I don't know." Jimin bit his lower lip. It was amazing how he couldn't rest his eyes on his. His stare and his presence were both very intimidating. "I don't know this country.. or this world." he mumbled.

"Would you like to walk with me after lunch? I could show you around." Taehyung proposed.

"I wouldn't want to bother you.."

"Jimin, my dear." Taehyung chuckled. "It has been years since I have been living the same thing every day, I needed to meet someone new or experience different things, and I have to admit that I am very happy with your arrival."

"Thank you." Jimin blushed. "That's very nice of you, your grace."

"So, are we going for a walk together later?"

"With great pleasure."
