YN'S POV

Feeling something soft tickling against my chest, I try to open my eyes to see what it is. But to my bewilderment, it's like something's forcing them shut.

"Bun mmh"

I hear the voice that I can recognize anywhere in the world. And it's in that moment with laborious strength, I flutter my eyes open.

I am greeted by eyes that are the mirror to my most beloved soul. The soul that's my mate. Soft puffs of breath escape his parted lips, as he rests his head against my sturdy chest.

The pristine serenity of the moment elicits a smile on my face. Am so enraptured by the dazed tranquility and his somnolent scent, that I have to blink twice to capture my surroundings.

My eyebrows furrow, and I rise up in an instant after rubbing the fantastical sand in my eyes- that maybe possibly hoodwinking me.

Jungkook's petite body is dressed up in an elegant pink gown with his long brunette waves tied up neatly in pigtails.

His uncanny outfit immediately caused my eyes to land on my own dress. I was wearing a velvet robe over a golden embroidered doublet and beige breeches. My calves were clad in white stockings.

Were we role playing last night or what?

Gosh, we have become kinky.

I scoffed at my ludicrous conjecture as I absorbed the surroundings.

We were lying on a canopy king sized bed, in an even more magnificent and capacious bedroom. The only source of light being the delicate sunrays that escaped the diaphanous curtains on the balcony.

But wait, the designs and the tapestries too, looked so royal. Almost like medieval architecture.

The furniture was gilded and a large life sized mirror stood against the wall facing the bed. Melted lavender scented candles rested on the nightstand and bottles of what I assume, alcohol along with grapes and strawberries were placed in a dish beside our bed.

Where are we now?

"Kookie, bub" I softly cooed to Jungkook sleeping beside me. I tried to be gentle, cause he is a sensitive bunny when he is sleeping.

The sight of his feminine form looked so unfamiliar. It was his features and his face but it was in a woman's body. It was difficult to put a finger on how peculiar the imagery was.

Did we perhaps, practised cosplay and rented a regal themed hotel last night?

My chain of thoughts was broken when Jungkook stirred beside me.

"My highness, I deeply apologize. I failed to wake up early today. It's my fault.This erring maid is willing to take any punishment that the monarch of the realms wishes for her, your majesty" he abruptly stood up from the bed, bowing to me in an overly reverent manner.

"Come on Kookie. Cut the role play. Where the fvck are we even" I became impatient as I shook my head in all directions trying to grasp the situation.

"Your highness, you summoned me to give you company in your chamber yesternight. But you had partaken copious amounts of wine and insisted me to join you." his cheeks grew beet red as he fiddled with the starched apron over his gown.

"Then we indulged in an act of intimacy as per your royal wish, my majesty" he whispered coyly, his eyes set on my feet.

"What? Kookie, stop calling me majesty. Also intimacy? Are we in medieval era or what! Talk normally, baby-"

"Oh my gracious heavens! King, I am rejoiced that you're finally awake. The King of Sunshine realm has heralded his arrival to grace your presence, my majesty." Jimin spoke panting, resting a hand on his chest as he ambushed into the room.

He was too, dressed in a regal attire with an insignia embroidered at it's sleeve. Perhaps unique to the kingdom.

Wait Kingdom?

King?

"Ya Jimin stop this act. Where's my phone and what time it is. We can't be playing kings and queens like this. I have to open my shop." I hastily undid my robe, growing flustered with their bizarre behaviour.

Am I high?

"Your high-ness, I shall take my leave. You can call for your beloved 'Kookie' and I shall be here to serve your needs. This maid's heart and soul shall always be devoted to thee. You possess my devout affection, my majesty" Jungkook walked over to me to land a innocent peck on my cheek and exited the room after doing a humble bow.

" Jung-soon, exercise caution next time. The common folk cannot get to know about a clandestine dalliance of a low class maid with our respectful King" Jimin reprimanded Jungkook in a stern voice before dismissing him and asking the guards to give us privacy in the chamber.

"Phone? What's that paltry contraption, you speak of, my lord? Also the time stands 10 in the morning, King" he gestured over a gigantic, quaint looking clock with a pendulum at the corner of the chamber.

"HA you gotta be kidding me!" I huffed. I am loosing my patience.

"A 'paltry contraption'! Jimin are you for real. It's 2024! You're seriously gonna called a phone that?" I chuckled bitterly, my hands massaging my temple in mind-boggling distress.

" What are you up to my lord, the year stands 1777 not 2024. I guess you have partaken too much brandy last night. I'll have to send the mage to cure your aftermath of revelry. Your head must be hurting too right?" He tip toed to rest his hand over my forehead, perhaps asking if I have a hangover in his royal lingo.

A mage to cure a hangover?

Also the year is 1777?

Did I time travel or what?

"Oh my god Jimin I can't understand you at all right now. Speak in a normal language, dude. Also why did you send Jungkook away? Why is he a flipping maid?" I sat rambling on the cushiony mattress as he offered me a glass of water.

"Jung soon is a maid, my majesty. We can't have a royal monarch indulge in affection and liaison with a paltry maid. The citizens will revolt. You have to think about your royal status, King. Besides, she's there to warm your bed when you want." he explained as if I was some child throwing a tantrum.

And my mind is going bonkers with his outlandish piece of information.

But somehow, it felt my mind knew what is happening. But my guts refused to accept it as normal. All this felt unfamiliarly familiar. Like my soul recognizes this as my present lifetime but some part of my brain says it's not.

Wait lifetime?

"I want to meet Jungsoon!" I shoved his shoulder away, as I did my robe to search for Jungkook. Perhaps he may know what's happening.

"My majesty, you have duties to attend. The kingdom can't function without it's monarch. You are obligated to meet the King of Sunshine realm. He's come to talk about your upcoming wedlock with the esteemed Princess of Sunshine." he pulled me in towards my closet perhaps to dress me for the occasion, by coercion.

" But-" I cried.

He proceeded to fix my attire for the meeting, despite my whiny protests.

" Your steadfastness is well known, my majesty. I sense your shyness. But Princess Hobi is a beautiful dame. She'll bring joy to your realm. You can have Jungsoon as your concubine" he pouted his plush lips as he now dragged me through the hallways, towards the royal courtroom.

"Why even a King like me should listen to you anyways huh? I love Kookie too much to marry someone else" he cupped my blabbering mouth and gave me his piercing gaze. The very gaze that had me melt like an ice cream on a hot day.

"Because am your Chief Council, an allegiant one at that. The interests of the Kingdom and our folk is our foremost duty. Noble Sovereign, whose scepter commands the realm's embrace" he whispered the last part almost ridiculing me. Was he being sarcastic?

Wait am I a puppet King or what!

Why is nobody listening to me?

☆•○☆°•○☆°•○☆°•○☆°•○☆•°☆°•○☆°•○☆

The meeting with the King of Sunshine state went more smoothly than I expected. Well that's because I didn't utter a single word and just nodded my head to all the vintage verbal antics that he threw at me. The ceaseless string of ancient dialect went over my head.

Soon, contrary to the venerable customs of the time I had a rendezvous in the royal verdant garden with Princess Hobi.

I literally choked on my spit when I discovered it was actually Hobi as in Jhope in his maidenly form.

Do we have my all real life characters in this regal play or what?

The way she behaved was also much akin to the actual Hobi, when I met him for the first time. He was always sweet and polite. The similarities between him and Princess Hobi were indeed present. Apart from the face of course.

She was so decorous and graceful in her gestures. An embodiment of actual sunshine as she spoke in soft sonnets to me. A literal princess.

She seemed demure too, judging from the bashful fluttering eyes she gave me. She coyly complimented my leadership skills and strong command over the kingdom.

But I couldn't dupe her pure feelings like that. I couldn't make a promise of marriage to her even if the kingdom needed a royal blooded heir. So I politely explained to her that am in love with someone else and can't be in a marital union with her.

To my utter astonishment, she gave me a chaste smile and shook her head meekly, understanding my position. Before I could apologize further, she gave me a courteous bow and wished me the best for my love life. She said she'd handle everything with the King of Sunshine state and I need not to worry.

The pathos written on her face, struck a chord of angst in my chest. I felt repentant for what I did.

Later, in the evening I confined myself in the bed under the velvet quilt.
Perhaps, if I try to sleep again, I can go back to my time and wake up. Maybe am lucid dreaming? This all can't be real, right?

Suddenly, I heard the grand ornate doors to my chamber being pushed open. The air from their movement almost wafting in my face.

"Your Highness, it's your loyal Sorceress Star. I have been dispatched to your esteemed service by Chief Councilor Jimin. His Excellency conveyed concerns about your peculiar behaviour. I stand ready to offer my services and prescribe some remedy, your majesty." a woman with mint green hair, adorned in gown and a witch hat greeted me.

As I absorbed her features and her introduction, it hit me.

It's Starstruck witch!

I have to immediately ask her to send me back. Maybe I can also ask why I and Jungkook did not switch back in my lifetime. She may know why this maybe happening. After all, Star from our time did say that she gained her knowledge from ancient occult texts.

"Come in Star. I need you. Have a seat." I gestured her to sit on a sofa in the huge room and she bowed before settling herself in.

"I beg your pardon for the intrusion upon your sovereign privacy, my liege. Yet, having been the one to reveal to you that Jungsoon is indeed your fated twin flame. And the ominous curse associated with your two's union, I am gravely concerned. Why, then, did you consent to a meeting with Princess Hobi for matrimonial considerations? Surely, you are cognizant that any nuptial bond, apart from that with Jungsoon, would set in motion the accursed fate, binding your both souls in each other's flesh  under the glow of the full moon." she spoke in a interrogative tone. Restlessness was dripping from her words. As if I have commited a sin.

"Star, I told her I can't marry her because I love Jungkook"  I sat beside her to explain my situation.

Her golden eyebrows furrowed and she gave me a quizzical look.

"Oh I mean, I love Jungsoon. And I have decided I will marry Jungsoon only. I can't marry anyone else. So don't worry."  I sighed to calm her qualms. But I needed to learn more. So I played along.

"Indeed, your majesty. And as per our former meeting you should unite in matrimony with Jungsoon before a full moon that is imminent tomorrow. May I gently remind you of your noble commitment? You pledged to marry Jungsoon in private and be freed from this looming curse. Failing to do so, will not only cause your souls to be cursed in present existence but it may even trap the twin souls in the subsequent incarnations as well. Swift union is advised to free you from this fate" she revealed a striking piece of information which blew my mind.

Was it a karmic curse?

Marry Jungkook before full moon?

If I marry Jungkook in this lifetime then will it save us from the curse?

Seems like it. At least that's what I can digest from her words albeit a bit complex because of the ancient language.

"So if I marry Jungsoon tomorrow in presence of a priest, in private. Will it save us from this curse?" I asked her carefully.

"Indeed, my liege, such was our earlier accord. Might I gently remind you of our planned course? Chief Councilor Jimin's words to me holds truth; there is indeed a concern for your well-being, for it appears that your memory of our noble arrangements has faltered." she spoke worriedly and placed her palm over my forehead.

She chanted some incantations under her breath. Probably trying to cure me or something?

And to my shock, I actually did feel refreshed. My head felt lighter. An uncanny euphoria surged through my veins. The feeling was equivalent to the happy dance I did everytime Jungkook bought me my favourite burgers.

Will they have burgers here?

Did burgers exist in 1777?

I am a bit hungry.

Focus YN!

And with that craving and her sage words I made my decision, I will marry Jungkook tomorrow as soon as possible.

☆•○☆°•○☆°•○☆°•○☆°•○☆•°☆°•○☆°•○☆

It's the crack of dawn and tears are streaming down my face, as I hear what Jimin is telling me knelt down at the royal dias. His poignant head hanging in shame at my feet.

Only sounds of cicadas and morning birds, mask the silence in the sombre atmosphere of the court.

"Your Highness, with heavy heart, I must impart the tragic news. Jungsoon and the intended queen to our mighty King met a most untimely demise, assailed by the public's hand at the seventh hour of the morn. The kingdom mourns this irrevocable loss, and we stand united in shared sorrow." he spoke.

My growling cries echo through the large chamber as I crumble on the ground. Cursing the vile play of fate.
