As soon as Jeongguk returned to the palace, he reported all the information he had obtained to Taehyung.

Taehyung, who had been listening to the story without saying a word, said as if he wasn't surprised.

김태형

Well... I expected it, so it's not surprising. If what the servant said is true, there should be traces of a large sum of money entering the household's ledger.

전정국

Yes, I will get it out as soon as possible.

김태형

I said it last time too... thank you, Jungkook

Jungkook smiled faintly and left the room.

Taehyung looked at his back and his mind became complicated.

Although he had expected it, all sorts of thoughts began to arise when it became clear that his mother was involved.

Taehyung decided to take a bath to clear his thoughts.

김태형

Listen, I'm going to take a bath now, so get some water for me.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A few minutes later, when they said the ship was ready, Taehyung started walking with heavy steps.

At that moment, Wol was hurrying to meet Taehyung.

But when Wol arrived, Taehyung had already gone to take a bath.

허 월

Excuse me... Where is Your Highness the Crown Prince?

The moon asked a court lady cautiously.

"Um... If you go into that building over there, you'll see a door on your immediate left. Go in there and you'll see him. But..."

Before Wol could even finish listening to the maid's words, he started heading towards the building.

"Huh..?? Over there!! The Crown Prince is taking a bath... What could be wrong??"

The maid seemed flustered, but soon rolled her eyes as if it was nothing.

Wol headed to the building where Taehyung was and recalled the events of last night.

On a dark night, Wol met the congressman and dragged his tired body back to his room.

허 월

ha...

The moment I let out a sigh and lit the candle

Her room was a mess.

Every drawer was open, clothes were strewn about in the closet, and the medicine I had saved was scattered on the floor. It was a complete mess.

Her legs began to tremble.

Someone ransacked his room.

'Who...? Why on earth??'

Wol barely managed to pull herself together and went to the room of her close friend's doctor.

허 월

Can I just sleep here tonight?

"Hmm? What about your room?"

허 월

No, I have a reason. It'd be nice to sleep together after a long time~

"Okay, okay~ This older sister will sleep with you."

That's all I remember from last night.

The moon suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing that it had reached the building.

I grabbed the handle and pulled the door, and it opened slowly with a squeak.

It was quiet inside. Not a sound could be heard.

Wol opened the door on the left as the maid had instructed.

The door opened with a small sound.

A strong scent of chrysanthemums spread throughout the room.

The moon tried to see what was in the thick scent, but the air, thick with moisture, obscured her vision.

At that time, I was frowning and looking for Taehyung inside.

김태형

Hmm... This is difficult.

Taehyung's voice was heard from inside.

허 월

Are you inside?

김태형

Then will you be outside?

As the humidity gradually disappeared, Taehyung's figure finally came into Wol's sight.

Wol was so shocked that she couldn't breathe when she saw Taehyung smiling leisurely.

Wol, whose mind had gone blank, stared at him, unable to do anything.

Taehyung, who was in the bathtub, was looking at the moon with his top off.

Unlike the flustered Wol, he smiled as if he found this situation amusing.

허 월

Um... Um!! Please get dressed quickly.

김태형

There's no reason to do that, right? I'm fine with it now.

허 월

I'll cover your eyes. Please put it on quickly.

Wol covered her reddened face with both hands.

Then, a rustling sound was heard, indicating that Taehyung had come out of the water.

But after that small sound, silence flowed, and Wol slightly let go of her hand and opened her eyes.

Taehyung, who was looking at the moon with his hands on his waist, was still in the water.

The only good thing is that he's at least wearing pants.

Wol, who saw that sight, was speechless.

This time it wasn't because I was flustered.

I was out of my mind earlier so I couldn't see properly.

Now that I look at it, I see that he was so beautiful that he couldn't be compared to other men.

His face trailed down the well-proportioned, muscular body, with a moderate amount of lean muscle and abs.

Water was dripping from his wet head and body.

김태형

This, this... This isn't going to work. Are you trying to seduce me?

허 월

No... no! That's absurd.

김태형

If it was a temptation... I think it was successful?

Taehyung took one step forward towards the moon.

As he got closer, the moon began to back away little by little.

But before I could even take a few steps, I ran into an obstacle called a wall.

허 월

..huh!!

Wol hurriedly covered her lips with her hand.

Taehyung smiled with the corners of his mouth raised as if he found that kind of moon cute.

김태형

Men are inherently dangerous... so be careful.

He smiled and placed his hand on the wall behind him.

The moon closed its eyes tightly.
