Wife of the Foolish Prince
Proposal
Soft laughed echoed in the silent room. Kim Taehyung, the royal blood, with no interest looked at the proposals.
The maids giggled seeing their beautiful princess getting proposals of handsome princes from farwide Kingdoms.
But nothing seems to interest their Princess.
Just then, Taehyung noticed the servant skipping a scroll. Quick to caught it, Taehyung finally spoke.
The servant stops and looked at the scroll in his hands. The scroll showed the portrait of Joseon's Eldest prince.
Servant
Princess does have a refined taste. This right here, is the eldest prince of Joseon's! Jeon-
Taehyung
This does not interest me. I want to look at the skipped scroll.
Servant
Your highness. *hesitant*
Taehyung
Is it some hideous prince?
Servant
Much more like it, Your highness.
Taehyung
I would still like to look at it
Taehyung said and the servant had to follow the orders. He picked up the skipped scroll and opened it, unfolding a portrait of a handsome prince!
Servant
*quickly tries to roll up the scroll*
Taehyung
Halt! Tell me more about him.
Taehyung
'How could such a handsome man be hideous? He's such a blind man.'
Servant
This is the youngest prince of Joseon's, Your highness. Prince Jeon Jungkook.
Servant
Your highness, He's not for you-
Taehyung
Send the Joseon's a letter. I accept their proposal to marry their youngest prince.
Taehyung smiled as he stood up leaving the worried servant. He was in dilemma! Should he really send the acceptance letter or.. Change the prince?
Taehyung
'Prince Jeon Jungkook, He looked as if he could move the heavens and fight with the god, itself.'
Taehyung saw a passionate fire into Jungkook's eyes that he couldn't help but be attracted to. Looking at Jungkook's portrait, Taehyung felt this man can provide him with protection and love. But he didn't know what trouble it brings with marrying Jeon Jungkook.
All the princes gather at the table, The five elder ones laughing, mocking the youngest who sat on the far edge of the table.
Jeon Eun-sik (Fifth eldest prince)
Do you even know why are we here? *questioned Jungkook while snickering*
Jungkook didn't look at his brother and continued to rub his fingers on the wooden table engraving.
Jungkook
*looked up at his brothers and smiled*
The brothers laughed at his idiotic reply.
Jeon Chae-suk (Second eldest prince)
We are here to look at the marriage proposals. Do you even know what's a marriage?
Jungkook thought for a moment, but then nodded No.
Jeon Baek-hyun(Third Eldest prince)
Why bother even telling him when he's not even getting one?.
The Third prince laughed sipping his tea. The brothers laughed and Jungkook gave out a idiotic smile and continued to rub his finger against the engraving.
The Triumphs blew and their father, the king's arrival was informed. The five brothers stood up, straightening themselves while Jungkook remained in his own world.
Jeon Ji-Iseul, Joseon's King, entered while his five sons greeted him. He nodded and glance at his youngest son. Sighing, he takes a seat.
Jeon Ji-Iseul (King of Joseon)
The princes might be aware, why they are gathered here.
Jeon Ji-Iseul (King of Joseon)
Few weeks ago, We've sent proposals to few kings And nobles for marriage. and we have received replies to the proposal.
Jeon Hyun-Woo (Eldest prince)
Father, Have we received a reply from princess of Kim's?
The whole court and family knew that the eldest prince has a liking towards the princess of Kim's. They couldn't blame him, Princess Kim Taehyung was famous for his beauty and talent. They say that the gods were hesitant to send him to earth, The heavens have blessed him and when he was born, The Kim's not only prosper in wealth but in power too!
Hyun-Woo, once visited the Kim's during the famous lotus festival. The same day as the Princess's birthday and their he saw, Kim Taehyung with his own eyes. He had heard of him, but in reality, he was far more beautiful than any description.
And From that day, Hyun-Woo knew Kim Taehyung was a jewel he had to possess!
Though, He wasn't the only one behind Kim Taehyung. The other brothers wanted Kim Taehyung too. That's why, They had seet proposals of all the princes (Including Jungkook) to the Kim's few months ago.
Jeon Ji-Iseul (King of Joseon)
It may seem like we do have a letter of acceptance for one of you. *smiled at the five*
Jeon Hyun-Woo (Eldest prince)
*overconfident that it's him*
Jeon Chae-suk (Second eldest prince)
'Obviously, It's me. There is no such military genius as me!'
Jeon Yung-Joo (Fourth eldest prince)
'Morons, They might be thinking it's them but in fact, it's me!'
Jeon Eun-sik (Fifth eldest prince)
'It must be me. Princess must have fallen for my charms!'
Jeon Baek-hyun(Third Eldest prince)
'Of course, It's me. There is no such man with political knowledge as me!'
Jeon Ji-Iseul, Got the servant to read to letter from Kim's first. The princes straighten, at alert.
The king laughed looking at his sons. He couldn't deny, Princess Kim Taehyung was indeed someone worth fighting for!

Jeon Ji-Iseul (King of Joseon)
Hand over the letter to me.
The servant nodded and have the letter to Jeon Ji-Iseul. He took a look at the letter and indeed, Jungkook was the one who was accepted.
If Jungkook was a normal person, Jeon Ji-Iseul would have been happy. Though, In childhood, Jungkook was prodigy! He was born from the empress, Youngest yet the sharpest. Everyone knew, the youngest would ascend the throne. He was the king's favorite!
But jealously among the brothers, made them hate him. His five elder brothers surrounded him, and in the heat of argument, they pushed him which lead to a accident where his mind was stuck at the mental age of 8 years old.
And Just like that the golden child turned the unfavorable and incapable son.
Jeon Ji-Iseul (King of Joseon)

Jeon Ji-Iseul said, and the five prince grow angrier! How could the Foolish Prince be wedded to a Beauty like Princess Kim Taehyung!?
Jeon Hyun-Woo (Eldest prince)
*clench his fist*
Jeon Baek-hyun(Third Eldest prince)
Father, You're doing a crime by letting this moron marry Princess Taehyung!
Jeon Baek-hyun(Third Eldest prince)
This idiot doesn't even know what a marriage is!
Jeon Ji-Iseul (King of Joseon)
Prince Baek-hyun! It's the Princess who accepted Jungkook's proposal.
Jeon Eun-sik (Fifth eldest prince)
Why did you even send this fool's proposal at first place?
Jeon Ji-Iseul (King of Joseon)
Prince Eun-sik, I understand your restlessness towards this situation but we can't do anything.
Jeon Ji-Iseul (King of Joseon)
Prince Jungkook would be the one marrying Princess Taehyung.
Jeon Hyun-Woo in the fit of anger, stood up and left. The other prince also left, They had nothing more to hear.
Jeon Ji-Iseul (King of Joseon)

Jungkook
*looked at him with a smile* Yes, Father.
Jeon Ji-Iseul (King of Joseon)
You'll be married to Princess Taehyung.
Jungkook

The news of The foolish prince marrying the stunning princess Kim Taehyung left the whole nation in shock. Their were whispers and laughter that a Ore like Princess Kim Taehyung would obviously leave a Man like Jungkook in the first week for a stronger man who can assure him protection!
Taehyung
Father, I've selected the man, I'll wed!
Taehyung said to his father, Who chocked on his food. His brother, who was just as shocked as their father, dropped the chopsticks.
Kim Han-jin (King of Kim's)
Marriage is too early for you, Princess. How about we wait a couple more years?
Kim Yoongi (Crown Prince)
I agree with father. 20 isn't the age to marry.
Kim Jimin (Crown Princess)
*glares at his husband who married him when he was 18 and his husband was 20*
Taehyung
Brother, You were married by the age of 20! Now You're 24 and expecting a kid.
Taehyung
And if I don't marry, the proposals will be piling up. I can't bear to look at any more proposals!
Taehyung
From the time, I've turned 18, these proposals have never come to an end.
Kim Wuxian (Queen of Kim's)
Everyone wants to have Princess Kim Taehyung. *chuckled and looked at his husband* But His Majesty is unwilling to let the Princess go.
Kim Han-jin (King of Kim's)
Taehyung is just a child. How can he be burden with responsibilities of a wife?
Kim Yoongi (Crown Prince)
*nodded while agreeing with his father*
Taehyung
Father, I've grown up and understands what a battlefield is a palace. Even though, We don't have one here.
Taehyung
But I can handle everything very well.
Taehyung's father, King Han-jin was a one love man. He married his childhood love, WuXian, A Chinese princess. Then had two children, The crown Prince, Kim yoongi and everyone's sweetheart, Princess Kim Taehyung. Yoongi following his father's footsteps married his childhood love, Park Jimin, Ore son of the ministry of defense. Their palace is quite, and peaceful because of their right decisions and they all love it.
Kim Han-jin (King of Kim's)
*sighed in defeat* Whose's the Prince or noble man?
Taehyung
Prince Jeon Jungkook!
Taehyung
The youngest Prince of Joseon's.
The Kim's weren't aware of the fact that Prince Jungkook was a mentally impaired Man. Though, he was 25, He was still 8. No one knew about this, as the idiot prince of Joseon's was a shame. King Ji-Iseul made sure that not a lot of people know about his foolish son.
Kim Yoongi (Crown Prince)
Never heard of him, but if he's from Joseon's. Then he must be a political or military genius.
Kim Wuxian (Queen of Kim's)
Well, My princess has a eye for jewels. I have no doubts, he must have chosen the best one out of the all princes.
Kim Jimin (Crown Princess)
I agree, Mother.
Taehyung smiled happily not knowing what was fate bringing onto him.
Bride
With that, both the families decided on a wedding date which was on the end of the next month. The wedding preparations started, where taehyung was seemingly happy for his marriage, Jungkook was constantly getting mocked that Taehyung will leave him in no less than a week.
Soon, it was wedding day.
Taehyung's family arrived on the wedding day making a grand address, showing off their wealth. The palace was decorated, and Taehyung's family was welcome with warmth.
The crowd gasped and whispered looked at them, Silk robes made from the finest silk, ornaments made from gemstones worth a fortune each, and beauty that runs in their genes.
Till now the crowd couldn't get a glimpse of Princess Taehyung. Yoongi, went towards one of the carriages and forward his hand. Holding his hand, Princess Taehyung comes out. Dressed in all red, covering his face. The wedding ritual that until the marriage on one could look at the bride's face until the husband uncovers the veil.
Seeing how beautifully taehyung was dressed up, the five brothers could envy their idiot brother.
Taehyung and Taehyung's family was taken to the royal courtyard, where Jungkook stood, dressed up handsomely, having a foolish smile on his face beside the royal priest.
Jungkook
*looked at his bride with curiosity, His doe eyes wasn't leaving taehyung*
Jungkook
Is that my bride? *whispers to the royal priest*
The royal priest nodded making the foolish prince jump and clap. The Kim's noticed it, but let it slide thinking that the prince is excited. Taehyung walked to Jungkook, guided by his father.
Kim Han-jin (King of Kim's)
Take good care of my beloved princess. *whispered to Jungkook before taking his place*
Jungkook nodded with a big smile on his face. The wedding rituals started, and now people only had eyes on them.
Jeon Hyun-Woo (Eldest prince)
*clench his fist looking at Jungkook* 'instead of this moron, I should have been there!'
Kim Yoongi (Crown Prince)
*noticed how Jungkook wasn't like the other prince, He was smiling like a little happy kid and being clumsy*
Kim Yoongi (Crown Prince)
'Is there some problem with him?'
The wedding ended, and the couple took the god's blessing and then there parents. After the wedding, their was a royal feast. Taehyung didn't have any interest in attending, so he was guided to the foolish prince's manor.
He entered the cold manor, though, he didn't have much visibly due to the veil but the manor was bare. Likewise, he frowned, but let it go. Furthermore, he could hear the maids and guards whispering. He ignored them and went inside the room.
He sat on the bed in silence, waiting for his husband. Just then, he hears giggles. He looked towards the door, and heard more giggles.
Taehyung
'Is there a child?'
Taehyung smiled. He went towards the door and opened it. And There he saw, His husband, giggling. He couldn't understand why did his husband giggled like a child.
Jungkook said with a huge smile on his face. Taehyung couldn't see his face clearly, but knew it was his husband. but he couldn't understand his husband's childish behavior.
Taehyung
'He's quite.. Youthful.'
Taehyung thought while the guards snicker at the idiot prince. Jungkook entered inside and sat on the floor with his toys. Taehyung closed the door and looked at him with confusion.
Taehyung called out for him the first time. Jungkook looked at him and smiled.
Jungkook
Do you want to play with me?
Taehyung couldn't understand. He stood their, thinking what's wrong with the prince. Jungkook saw his bride just standing at one place, he stood up and went closer to him. He removed his veil, yanking it away and looked at the beauty, he got married to.
Taehyung
*looks at Jungkook*
Jungkook
You are pretty, Bride. *giggled* Want to play with me?
Jungkook forward his hand which held a wooden horse. Taehyung felt like he was getting tricked. He nodded as no and saw the prince, going towards his toys and playing with them, siting on the ground..Like a child.
Taehyung stood near the gate and heard the guards and maids from the outside, whispering and snickering.
"I wonder if this idiot even knows about marriage."
"pity to the Princess who married a mentally impaired prince."
"How long will their marriage stand? A day?"
And there was laughter. Taehyung stood their with a blank face. He walked towards Jungkook, and cared his head.
Taehyung
I accept my fate.
Taehyung smiled to himself while the prince was in his own world. Taehyung wasn't like other Ores, He didn't marry for power or wealth. He wanted a person who could love him and provide him with protection. But what's wrong with being a mentally impaired Prince?
The prince could also love him and protect him in his own ways. And It was him, who choose Jungkook. He won't back on his words, He accepts Jungkook as he is and would not back away from being Jungkook's wife.
Taehyung
Prince, Aren't you tired? Should we sleep?.
Jungkook nodded and stood up. Taehyung helped him get out of the heavy robe and helped him wear a light silk one. He also got out of his heavy robe, get rid of his ornaments, and wears a light silk robe.
Taehyung
*saw that Jungkook was staring at him with Doe eyes* Do you like me, Prince?
Jungkook
Yes, Bride! *smiled like a child*
Taehyung
*smiled* Call me Wife, Prince.
Jungkook
You look so pretty when you smile, Wife.
Taehyung chuckled at the innocent prince. Both of them lay on the bed, and slept from being tired.
