“Sometimes, we have to reflect on ourselves and realize, were we ever wanted?”
Your breathing evened out as you lifted your head from Mia’s shoulders. Nose stuffy, eyes puffy and red, you looked like a mess frankly.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ruin your outfit.” you sniffle out.
Mia laughs at your remark, “My lady, it’s just my work clothes, it’s ok. Let’s get you cleaned up.”
You followed her lead but then stopped, “Can we actually just sit in the gardens while drinking tea? I just need air rather than makeup.”
She nods her head and takes you out to the garden, the cold air welcoming your overheating body. It felt nice, like the fury and sadness was cooling down.
The walk to a table and chairs wasn’t far and it felt nice to sit down and just enjoy around you without those troublesome men.
As Mia leaves you alone to fetch some tea, you look down on your lap. Fingers intertwining with one another as you started to feel another surge of sadness.
You were too confident about changing the outcome. After last night, you felt like everything was going to be alright, that maybe you could deliver justice and go home to your family.
From behind, you heard rustling in a bush and it caused you to raise your guard up. Slowly, you stood up and walked to the noise, praying that if it’s a murderer, them killing you would send you back home.
As you got closer, the noise stopped and it frightened you. If it was a person, they are watching you right now.
Bending down and moving the dead leaves out of the way, you spotted a silver necklace. It was rather worn down with small scratches scattered on the heart pendant.
You picked it up carefully and examined it. Why does this look so familiar? When you turned it over, your heart dropped. On the necklace was a heart with the words “Forever in my heart”
With trembling hands, you opened the locket and saw the picture of your mother. Smiling bright as she held you in her arms. You recalled it was the day you graduated HighSchool. Diploma in your hand and gown still on, it was the happiest day of your life.
She cheered the loudest in the crowd and you’ll never forget that feeling. You remember her even chanting your name while clapping her hands. At first, you were embarrassed, now you miss that moment.
But then, you paused. How did this necklace end up here? You don’t recall wearing it when you got transported here. Was this a message? You didn’t know what or how it got there or who could’ve dropped it off.
Your mind went to Seung-Cheol, especially how he knew your actual name. Still needing to question him about it, you looked to the necklace as some weird sign. Is the universe saying something?
“What do you have there?” a voice asked.
Immediately, you shut the locket and closed your hands around the necklace. Turning around, you noticed the one man you didn’t want to see at the moment.
“Jimin,” you sighed, “What do you want? Here to berate me too?”
His eyes hold a glint in them, something you don’t recall ever seeing during your time here.
“You think this is funny? Do you enjoy seeing me upset?” You crossed your arms firmly, tears starting to build up, “You want me to say it? There, you guys win. I’ll leave all of you alone to Meo-Soon and I won’t ever show my face again.”
He still didn’t respond and it angered you, seeing him just standing there, blonde hair swaying a bit as his grey suit looked perfect.
Jimin was the perfect image of a Kpop idol, you thought to yourself. But you discarded that thought as you went up to him and started hitting his chest. You weren’t the strongest, so it didn’t really hurt him in the slightest.
“Just say it! I want to finally hear it again so I can just go in peace! I’m tired of this! You don’t understand!” you cried, stopping yourself from hitting him and just laying both hands on his chest, “You don’t understand how lonely it is when the man your supposed to marry looks to another woman. And how his friends also vow for her love, while throwing me aside.
“I know I wasn’t the kindest to her, I wanted to redeem myself and how others see me. It will never work, and I’m fucking rambling and don’t know how to-“
His cut you off by wrapping his arms around you in a tight embrace. You froze as your hands still stayed on his chest.
Wasn’t this improper? People still believed you were engaged to Taehyung, so if they see this surely rumors would spread about you both.
However, the warmth from his hands and his breath tingling on your neck made you feel a little better. The tears started to slow as you finally just laid your head on his chest, eyes closed and breathing returning to normal.
You both stayed like that forever it felt like, but really it was just a minute. You totally didn’t count it in your head.
As he released you from the embrace, he still kept his hands on each of your arm, as if holding you still. His eyes searched for yours and you could no longer see the funny, egotistical, and snarky prince that you’ve been seeing everyday.
Instead, his eyes held warmth and worry. As if seeing you this upset was hurting him too.
“W-why did you hug me?” you whisper, “don’t you hate me too?”
He sighed as he licked his lips, thoughts wandering to try and find a reason. All that he’s doing is shocking to him as well because he never experienced this before.
Jimin has bedded women and pretended they never existed, he’s never once comforted them or even gotten to know them. However, you were different. He knew you well enough to know who those tears were for, and he just had the sudden urge to just comfort you.
“I don’t hate you,” he whispers, “I never did.”
You shake your head with a heartless chuckle, “Don’t lie to me, I’ve heard the rumors.”
Jimin shrugs his shoulders a bit, “That was back then when I distanced myself from you. I never gave you a proper chance, and now that I see it, I knew I was wrong and I’ll fully admit it. I’ll go on top of the palace and shout it to everyone.”
Your heart started to race because you didn’t know why he was suddenly saying this. Was he hit in the head?
“You’re only saying that because I saved your life that night. If that never happened, would you even have given me that chance?”
Quickly, he nods his head.
“Even before that, I noticed how different you were. That’s why I always teased you.”
His words took effect as you just stood there, looking in his eyes.
“I don’t know how to say this, but a lady should never have to think such thoughts. I know I can be a bit much, but seeing how upset you got, I just had to find you.”
You stood back a bit, gentle shock plastered on your face.
“Jimin, if anyone were to see us like this, rumors will spread. I don’t want to damage your reputation.”
“I don’t care. I just want you to be ok.”
You almost smiled at his words and nodded your head, “I am much better now hearing your words. That means more than you know, Jimin.”
He brings his arms back to his side, a gentle smile resting on his face. Suddenly, he grabs your hand and tugs you along, back to where you were first seated.
Mia hasn’t arrived yet with the tea and you were thankful. Or else if she saw what just happened between the two of you, she would bomb you with questions.
He sits you down and then takes one across from you.
“You feeling better at least?” he asks.
You flash him a grin, “Much better than before. That was thoughtful of you.”
“I am quite kind.”
“Here you go again.”
The two of you shared a chuckle.
“You know, I was also wrong about you.” You suddenly speak up.
He gives you a quirked eyebrow and sits up a bit.
“I heard rumors from others that you were stuck up, bed every woman that breathes near him and just rude. That’s why I was snarky back, I didn’t want you to perceive me as weak.”
He gives a heartfelt laugh, his eyes squinting along, “Well, some of them are true, but I have been working on myself lately.”
“I can tell, it’s refreshing.”
You both sat there in silence, letting the sounds of birds chirping make the sound for you both.
“So, you ended the engagement with Taehyung, huh?”
Yep, you knew the question was going to be asked, either now or later.
“Yeah, I’m still unsure why he didn’t tell you guys when I first told him.”
“Same with me, none of us knew except his brothers of course.” he pauses for a moment, “That was a good choice.”
A laugh left your mouth, “Because you saw how desperate I was becoming, right?”
He shakes his head, “No, I saw how lonely you looked. I see everything. When Meo-Soon would enter how his eyes would find hers first, I saw how that affected you. I was a fool to keep quiet.”
What. The. Fuck.
Is this man actually saying those words? Was he hit? Is this a dream? You were so confused and a bit troubled.
“that…” you paused, “I’m glad you noticed. It was about time.”
“You deserve someone that looks to you like you hold the moon.”
You freeze a bit. A thing about you is that you hate assuming people’s actions and words. But you couldn’t help but feel as though he was hinting at something more.
“Are you saying you could do that?” the words leave your mouth quickly and you wish you could jump off a bridge.
You had a habit of saying things without thinking, and now you made this moment awkward and he is probably going to take back everything he has said.
His eyes widened just a bit as he stares at you.
“Was it that obvious?”
Jaw opened and practically to the ground. He actually just confessed to you, and he’s not laughing or taking those words back.
You thought he was going to get offended at your remark, but he instead embraced it. Since when did he like you?
“Are you being serious?”
He sighs and then stands up, brushing the dust off of his pants. “I know this is sudden and I didn’t want it to come out right now, especially with what happened with Taehyung. However, one thing I don’t do is lie. So yeah, I’ll be honest. I don’t need an answer now, but I’m glad you know.”
Your eyes watch as his figure walks away, the confidence and teasing returning to his body. Confusion swirls through your head as you try to make sense of what just happened.
When did those feelings ever developed? In the novel, Jimin and Lim despised one another, now he likes you?
Your eyes widened as you realized you changed yet another plot of the story. You never intended Jimin to develop feelings for you, but now that he confessed you just don’t know how much the story will change towards the end.
“You’re tensed once again.” a voice called out.
Immediately, you snapped out of it and noticed Seung-Cheol walking towards you with a soft smile on his face.
Your body warms just at the sight and you try to clear your throat to distract him from noticing.
“My shoulders were tenses weren’t they?”
“Yep, you’re finally catching on,” he laughs, “Mind if I join you?”
Once you nod your head, he sits across from you with a long, tired sigh.
It was quiet and you expected him to start the conversation, but he just kept looking around. That’s when the question hit you.
“Hey, I have a weird question to ask you.”
He turns to you, “Oh? Go ahead.”
You try to find the right words, “Back when the whole ambush thing happened, you said a name. I don’t know if i was just imagining things, but you said the name Y/N.”
You tried to find any reaction in his eyes, but there is none. It was like this was a typical normal conversation for him.
“I did?” he asked, puzzled expression written on his face, “Wow, a lot happened so it must’ve slipped my mind.”
“No, it’s ok. I just thought I would ask. It kept eating at me.”
Silence once again swirls around the both of you, but it wasn’t awkward at all. It was nice and peaceful, like you could truly just be yourself and not have to act like someone else. He gave you comfort, and you’re starting to crave that.
When Mia arrived back with empty hands, she apologized. “I’m sorry my lady, but the banquet is starting and your parents want you present. Let’s get your makeup fixed and we shall head there.”
Dread enters you as you realized you’re going to have to face Taehyung once more. At least this time, after he announces due annulment, you’ll be free and you won’t have to see any one of them again. You’re just thankful your parents allowed this and won’t give you such a hard time.
As you stand up, you give Seung-Cheol a smile, “I’ll see you there.”
.

The place buzzed with people of high status, many gossiping and laughing amongst each other. Some of them discussing politics and others just simply existing.
Taehyung stood with the others, giving half smiles to ones that pass and ending conversations with men or women. He didn’t care, he just wanted to see you. To say sorry, to say how stupid he acted.
He knew it wasn’t him talking, it felt like something controlling him, and no matter how long he needs to tell you that, he will. The thought of you hurting because of him doesn’t sit well.
The six of them noticed Jimin walking up to them, a wine glass in his hand and a smile plastered on his face.
“Where were you?” Hobi asked, stuffing his face with a cookie.
“Just out and about, doing what I usually do.”
Namjoon deadpanned at his response, “What you usually do is cause problems. Who were you bothering?”
“I’m wounded Namjoon, I’ve been on my best behavior the entire time I was here.”
“Yeah, whatever. Just sit down and eat.” Jungkook said, handing him a piece of bread.
Taehyung still remained quiet as his eyes kept drifting to the door. He waited for your entrance and kept rehearsing his lines of his apology to you.
When the grand doors opened, a guard walked up, “Now entering, Princess Lady Lim, daughter of the King and Queen.”
Everyone stops their chatter and looks up to the stairs where you make your entrance. Your hair was pushed back into a bun, half of your hair left out, swaying with your movements. Your dress was yellow and fluffy, the ends of it dragging on the floor. Glitter and diamonds decorated the whole thing, glistening off the many lights in the room.
Everyone remained quiet as you walked down, head held high and a small smile on your face. Many of them expected you to walk to Taehyung and latch on his arms, instead you walked straight up to another man and started to converse with him.
Many who knew of Lady Lim were shocked. Why isn’t she walking up to her fiance? Did she hit her head?
Taehyung, noticing the glances at him, cleared his throat and walked up to you and Seung-Cheol. His arms wrapped around your shoulder and he pulled you into a tight embrace.
Anger flooded through your body and as much as you wanted to tear yourself away from him, you knew you couldn’t do it now.
So instead, you just allowed him to hold you. As he did so, he whispered many apologies in your ear, expressing his sadness and how much he regretted hurting you.
You didn’t know what to say, but you could see the many whispers of the people at the scene. It was usually you forcing the hugs, but now he on his own went up to hug you. And it was a long hug.
Seung-Cheol just stood there, a smile present on his face even with deep within, he felt awkward. He knows you two will end it soon, but he just couldn’t bear the thought of him holding you tightly.
When he finally releases you, he holds onto your hand and gives each of them a kiss.
You allow it but then whisper to him, “Why are you doing this? Don’t you have to announce the annulment? You’re sending mixed signals here.”
He just laughs like you said something funny and pulls you away from Seung-Cheol.
“Just wait, I’ll announce it soon.”
Your eyes widened, “Wait, you’re actually going through with it?”
He didn’t respond and instead just brought you back to the other men waiting. They all witnessed Taehyung try and make his claim on you, and it confused each and every one of them.
“Well,” Yoongi says, “This is rather… strange.”
“For me as well.” you say and sit down next to Taehyung.
He pats your shoulder with a smile.
“Just because I allowed you to hug me, doesn’t mean I forgive you by the way.”
“OOooh, I felt that one.” Jimin laughs.
You both look at each other and the sudden memory of the events from earlier play in your head. Heat spreads across your face as you quickly look away.
“Strange,” Jin says, “You usually retort back to Jimin.” a grin is now plastered on his face, “What happened?”
“Nothing.” you both say at the same time, which made it really obvious that something clearly did happen.
When your parents enter, everyone bows down to them as they make their way into the center.
Your father is given a wine glass to which he holds up, “I know right now times are a little stressful,” he says out loud, “However, we will remain strong and fearless in the times of danger. This banquet is to show the others that no matter what they throw at us, we will remain stronger.”
Everyone cheers, holding their glasses up with a huge smile.
Oh how every single one of these people are fools. They really think their money prevents anything bad happening to them.
Your father turns to you and Taehyung, “Prince Taehyung Kim, son of the Western Kingdom is here to make an announcement.”
Taehyung slowly stands up and walks next to your father. He looks around with a smile, which is weird because why is he smiling when he’s going to announce the most mind shattering news?
Hope swirls within your body. Freedom is seconds away and you couldn’t wait to taste it.
“The events from the last few days had me thinking quite a lot,” he says, “Mainly about my marriage to Lady Lim.”
Many of the people stilled at his comment and so did you.
“Sometimes, pressure and the outcomes of war can either damage a relationship.” he pauses, “Or strengthen it.”
He eyes your confused face and beckons you over. Once reality hit, you stood up and walked towards him. Your mind racing because you didn’t want to be in the center once he announces it. Your happy face would cause too much confusion and gossip.
When you stood by his side, he continued.
“My engagement to Lady Lim was at first out of pure duty, that I will not lie about.”
Bitch.
“But now, seeing her in a different light, makes me want to say this for everyone here to listen.”
He wraps his arm around you, causing your eyes to widen.
“The wedding has been set for January 30th.”
What. The. Fuck.
Record scratch.
Did he actually say the one thing you warned him not to do?
Your eyes find Seung-Cheol who just stares at the both of you. Usually his face is hard to read, but you could definitely see the confusion and sadness plastered on it.
Everyone around was confused but cheered nonetheless, many giving their blessing and others gasping at Taehyung’s sudden confession.
You didn’t know what to say or do. This wasn’t supposed to happened, you were supposed to be free after today, but now it felt like a new prison. And this time, everyone was here to witness Taehyung’s love to you.
Before you could turn to him and whisper, many of the councilmen swarmed the two of you, clearly happy that the wedding was finally given a date.
You played along, a fake smile on your face as Taehyung makes your arm loop around his.
No matter how hard you try, you couldn’t change this part of the novel and it worried you. Why doesn’t he hate you? It would’ve been much easier if you just acted like Lady Lim, make him hate you even more and then want to end it.
Instead you did the opposite and made him, along with two other guys, fall for you.
When the people finally stopped swarming you two, he allows you to pull him away to the terrace outside.
As you two entered, the other six men followed. Usually you would’ve barked at them to leave, but your mind was clouded with anger that you didn’t care.
“Bitch I am going to swing on you and that’ll be the last thing you see!” you cursed him, “If there weren’t any witnesses around, I’d throw you off this terrace. Why the fuck would you do the opposite of what you promised?!”
Anger fuels your body as you start punching his chest, yet again not strong enough to hurt him.
“You lied to me! You said you would end it! I proposed the idea so you could pursue Meo-Soon, why would you do this?”
He gives a gentle smile and as much as he looks handsome, you still hated him.
“Hello? You’re not going to say anything?”
He chuckles softly, “Lady Lim, you have no idea what you do to me. All that I said last night was true, I am not giving up and even if it means you hating me for it, i’ll spend years making it up to you.”
Your eyebrows furrow, “Years? Bitch you better go back in there and take those words back!”
He just laughs once again, “I know it’s all sudden, but I promise I will do everything in my power to make things right.”
Hobi noticed you taking off your earrings and heels and he immediately stands behind you. Before you could lunge at him, Hobi wraps his arms around you.
“Let me go Hobi! Words aren’t going through his head, I need to beat it into him!” you grit out, thrashing against his arms.
He holds on tighter and turns to Jungkook, “Kookie, make sure no one enters. Lady Lim is about to kill Taehyung.”
“Kill?” you laugh, “Killing would be an easy way out for him. Let me go!”
Taehyung just stands there, acting like you weren’t going to kill him.
“You don’t want to admit it, but I know a part of you holds feelings.”
His words make you freeze mid thrash.
“I can read you, you know,” he says, “I know you’re trying to make me hate you, i know you’re trying to act like this was for the best. However, you lie badly.”
“I know Seung-Cheol is in most of your heart, but I don’t care. I want you, I will shout it to everyone for the rest of my days if I have to. It’s you that I want, you that I want to wake up next to and kiss. It’s you who I want to marry.”
You’re still frozen in Hobi’s arms and for a second, your brain shuts down. Your face reddens at his words and your knees became weak.
However, you’re still pissed at him.
“I’m going to fuck you up just wait until he lets me go and it’s on!”
