The Duke & His Haughty Fiance ((~Taekook~)) Drooling Fox

.....

✳️

When Suga opened the door, he saw a little white fox with dry fur and bright eyes. Behind him, the person he was looking for—Jungkook—stepped out of the bathroom with a cold expression..

Suga (Major General)

You already took a bath?

Suga asked as he shook a few small bottles..

They were special shampoo for beasts, taken from Jungkook’s storage.. Since Jungkook’s contract hadn’t been made public yet, Suga brought these to avoid attention..

As he spoke, he reached for the door’s close button—but in that brief moment, the container in his hand was snatched away...

It was the little fox… no, Taehyung?

Suga froze. Just as he reached for the door, something white zoomed toward the box in his hands.. While Suga was distracted, Taehyung had tried to grab the food container..

But Jungkook saw it coming.. He moved fast, caught the box, and held it high..

The little fox, now sitting on the floor, looked up at the container with wide eyes, while Jungkook stared back silently..

Tae

Chee..

Suga paused, sensing something strange must’ve happened last night...

Jeon Jungkook

Eat at the table..

Jungkook said, crouching to pick Taehyung up.. But Taehyung shot him a glare..

He was clearly upset about missing the food.. He dodged Jungkook’s arms, turned away with a dramatic flick of his tail, and walked off..

Suga (Major General)

He’s got quite the attitude..

Suga commented, amused..

Jungkook didn’t respond. He took the shampoo bottles from Suga, and set the container on the table and Suga helped him set the table..

Six main dishes, three side dishes, three bowls, and three drinks..

As they finished setting up, Taehyung—who had been sulking in the bed, his fluffy white body hidden in the blankets—twitched his ears..

Jungkook glanced over, said nothing, then carried the bottles into the bathroom.. Suga casually sat down at the table..

The room got quiet..Taehyung turned his head toward the dining area..

Kim Taehyung

🗯️The smell is so tempting...

It was similar to last night’s meat, but also sweeter—something fresh and delicious..

Taehyung wagged his tail under the covers, his brows tightly furrowed..

He had tried to grab the food and failed. It was embarrassing..But the food wasn’t his to begin with…

Still, he had been staying here the past two days, paying with medicine and spiritual energy! He had suffered and worked hard! He wasn’t the type to feel regret!

Kim Taehyung

🗯️So next time—i would to grab the food first.. and win!

Finally, Taehyung perked up his ears, eyes sparkling. He took a deep breath, enjoying the delicious smell in the air.. Then he jumped off the bed, climbed onto the stool, and made his way to the table..

Just as Suga set down a plate, he saw the little white fox sitting at the table. Squinting, he said..

Suga (Major General)

Chim always sleeps in and cries when I try to wake him.. Next time, I’ll bring him over so you two can play together..

As he spoke about his Bird Chim, Taehyung quietly stared at the food in front of him, acting like he didn’t hear anything..

He sniffed around, looking left and right..

His round little head made Suga want to reach out and pat it, but Taehyung dodged like he had eyes on his back..Suga looked at his hand, a flash of curiosity in his eyes..

But Taehyung didn’t look at him, still focused on the table full of unique dishes..

Suga had brought the breakfast from the kitchen.. He had asked them to make soft porridge for Jungkook and the fox, but Taehyung wasn’t interested in it.. Even though it smelled a bit different, he had eaten similar food back in Mythara.. What really caught his attention were the three dishes in the middle of the table..

One dish was filled with sliced meat.. It was different from last night’s, but Taehyung could still smell the same aroma.. The scent was familiar, though the meat and cooking style were different.. Even without sauce or broth, it looked a bit dry but still delicious..

Next to it was a tray of Atherian fruits—soft, juicy, and large.. These weren’t just one kind of fruit, but a mix of the best grown in Lunor..

Earlier, when Taehyung was still in bed, he had already smelled the sweet, fresh scent from them..

Beside the meat and fruits was a dish of warm, unknown things.. They were round, wrapped in uneven dough, with a light fragrance..

Taehyung had no idea what was inside, but he was already drooling..

Kim Taehyung

🤤🤤

Just as he opened his mouth to take a bite, Suga reached out and stopped him with one hand, grabbing an empty plate with the other..

Taehyung blinked, confused.. His eyes narrowed the moment he saw the empty plate..

Kim Taehyung

🗯️Is this man disgusted by him?

His little paws curled around the table edge as he planned his next move..

Suga paused with the plate in his hand.. It was instinct as a doctor—Taehyung had just barely recovered and was still weak.. Even a small infection could be dangerous..

Suga had also asked the kitchen to make light porridge for both him and Jungkook.. But Taehyung wasn’t interested in that.. He was all about the three dishes in the center..

But to Taehyung, Suga’s gesture felt intentional.. He thought maybe the man just didn’t want him eating from the same dishes.. He felt a little hurt..

Suga had lived with Chim for twenty years and was always loved by his contract beast..even Chim has a different taste in food it was never a problem..

But now, Suga was unsure how Jungkook felt about his contract beast..
