Jimin's P.O.V

When the orc pointed the gun at me, my whole body froze. Suddenly my body became numb. I couldn’t do anything. I was scared. My fingers were trembling.

The orc laughed at my weak condition.

I knew I was going to die. He was gonna shoot me. I closed my eyes. If this is how I die, then I'll have no regrets. I can do anything for my Kingdom.

The only thing I regret is the last thing I did with my beloved wife was fight. I yelled at her, hurt her. I badly want to say sorry and I love you to her right now. I wish I could see her face one last time.

A loud gunshot was heard.

But I didn’t feel any pain.

I opened my eyes slowly, only to look at an unexpected view. Someone was standing in front of me with his back, the bullet hit him instead of me. He lost balance and fell to the ground.

The orc leader seemed clueless at the sudden action. I took the opportunity to pull out my sword and pierced it through his neck. Black blood flowed down his neck and he immediately died.

I looked back at my savior. Who was he? H-he sacrificed his life to save his king. I sat on my knees. Blood was spilling out from his mouth. He was wearing a hoodie so I wasn’t able to see his face.

I was feeling too guilty. Why did he had to save me? My heart was longing for his forgiveness. I wanted to say sorry to him before he leaves the earth.

I removed the hoodie.........

The face........why...........

It was unbelievable. Something not right was in front of me. Was I crazy? Was I so stupid? Or was I actually right?

I couldn’t believe what was happening. I didn’t want to believe that.

Why was Myeong Jo laying in front of me, blood smeared everywhere on her body, red blood spilling out from her mouth and she trying her best to breath?

Was I too obsessed with her that I was seeing her face inside my savior's face? Did I love her too much? That I couldn’t even properly see him?

“J-J...i...mi.....n”

The way she stuttered my name was the exact way Myeong Jo calls me. The voice was hers. Her eyes were blinking rapidly, her mouth trying to inhale air as much as she could.

My lips and my whole body began shaking like a vibrator. It couldn’t be. It wasn’t possible!  Myeong Jo is back at the castle, waiting for me in our room, praying for my victory and safety. How could this person be her?!

I could no longer hold the heartbreak as my gried poured out in a flood of uncontrollable tears. My eyes were still not believing yet my heart said yes. I took her inside my arms. It was her. It was really her! It was my Myeong Jo!

“Myeong Jo-ah!!!” I screamed out her name in pain.

S-she.....my wife..... took a bullet in her little chest......just for me..... To save me! My darling, my sweetheart............was dying in front of me!

“W-hy......how......” I wasn’t able to put the pieces into the puzzle. All on a sudden, I find my wife taking a bullet for me and now dying in front of my eyes...............

I didn’t know anything else. I just cried and held her close to my chest.

Jimin's P.O.V ends

Jungkook was more than shocked. He ran towards them and sat on his knees. He scanned every part of her bloody red body with wide eyes.

“H-hyung.....Noona......ot...tokke? How? What happened?”

Jimin barely listened to what he said.

“Hyung! We gotta take her to the hospital! Get up!” Jungkook held Jimin up. Jimin took Myeong Jo who was on her way to shut her eyes forever in his arms and carried her to Jungkook's horse.

“Get the hospital inform about The Queen's arrival! Fast!” Jimin ordered the Minister and rode his horse with Myeong Jo to the hospital. Jungkook followed them too.

-------------------

Jimin and Jungkook were waiting inside a V.I.P room right beside the operation theatre. It's been 2 hours and she's still going under surgery. Jimin kept praying to God by joining his fists together. He tried to stay strong when actually he was broken down. Jungkook was walking here and there out of worries. Both brothers didn’t even wash the blood of their bodies, they kept waiting for her and praying.

After a while, the surgeon entered. Jimin stood up immediately looking at him. The surgeon's face was undescribable. He was scared and also upset.

He bowed at Jimin. Jimin's eyes were so red with salty tears that his vision was blury. He waited to hear the doctor's response but the surgeon seemed to not telling anything except for facing the floor.

“Well?” Jungkook who couldn’t stop his patience blurted out.

The surgeon gulped down his throat and finally began speaking, “Y-Your Majesty, Your Highness has lost too much blood.”

Jungkook was the only one who understood that the surgeon was actually trying to say that Myeong Jo couldn't make it. He gasped in shock. But Jimin still wanted to hear.

The surgeon couldn’t speak for some reasons. He seemed to shocked and confused. He removed his glasses, “Your Highness was shot in her chest. Right where her heart is residing.”

Drops of painful tears were racing down Jimin's cheeks. Inside he was breaking down slowly. Jungkook covered his mouth with his hands to stop believing.

The surgeon took a moment then said, “S-still.........she's breathing.”

As if his heart regained a new energy, Jimin's eyes widened. Jungkook was surprised as well.

“What?” he asked the surgeon.

“The Queen, indeed lost much blood and was shot in her chest. Miraculously, the bullet was found right beside her heart. The operation was a success. She's alive!” The surgeon broke into happiness.

Jungkook smiled brightly as if he found his lost toy back. He hugged Jimin tightly and kept patting his back.

“Hyung! Noona is alright! She's alive!” he was about to cry in happiness but he was strong enough to hide that.

Jimin still couldn’t believe it. He didn’t even know his wife was so strong. He instead of smiling, broke down in tears. But in happiness. He fell on his kness and hid his face inside his palms to cover his crying face. He was the king after all.

Jungkook held the surgeon's hands and kept shaking it with gratitude, “Thank you so much, doctor! Y-you have done a great job! Thank you for your hard works! We'll........Hyung will make sure you recieve your prize and honor.....”

The surgeon became shy and chuckled, “No, no, please....I didn’t do anything... All thanks to Almighty and The Queen's strong body and mind......Please don't thank me....”

Jimin wiped his face and stood up, looking at the surgeon, “Thank you, Doctor. As Jungkook said, I'll give you the tittle of one of the best doctor of our Kingdom. But first, can I meet her now?”

“Nae, Your Majesty. Please come with me. She's been escorted into a V.I.P patient room.”

The doctor took him to room no 86. He opened the door and entered after Jimin entered. She was laying on the bed unconscious, with white bandages wrapped around her head, saline and injections were injected almost everywhere on her body. In one word, she looked no more than a poor patient.

Jimin blinked a few times.

“She's unconscious right now. But I think she will wake up soon. We are providing her as blood as possible. Right now, her body is really weak.” The doctor stated.

Jimin nodded his head slowly.

“I-I shall get going then.....” the doctor gave some privacy to him and left the room.

Jimin slowly walked over to her bed. He was feeling way too guity to see her like that. He sat beside her and stared at her bruised face.

He wondered when did the love of his life became so adamant. She did go to the battlefield inspite forbidding her. She didn’t think for a second before risking......no... Sacrificing her life to save her husband.

He was crying inside all the time now that no one was here, he cried softly again. He held her pale hand and tightened his grip.

Her white milky body, her brownish red hair, her tiny nose, her pretty pink lips, her fascinating eyes, her little hands........made everything perfect about her. This.......ordinary girl....... When did she became so fearless? How did she had the slightest wish to die for her husband?

Among his wonderings about his wife, he felt grateful. Grateful that his wife loved him so much that she even did this. Also he felt guit inside his trembling heart. Because of him, she's on her death bed now.

He caressed her cheeks and hair softly, “J-Jagiya...........It's me.....Jimin.”

His voice cracked and his throat dried as he cried too much. “Why did you do this? Who told you to fight? I told you not to......why did you had to be so arrogant about saving me? Why?”

Knowing she won't answer her, he felt more sorrow and pain. Right now, he just wanted to hug her and scold her at the same time so much......but unable to.

“Myeong Jo-ah......you know I love you, right? I will love you forever.....No matter where you are.......I will always be there for you......I love you, sweetheart.......” he kissed on her cold forehead. He badly wished for her to open her eyes. He wanted to see that unique smile of hers. As knowing it'll take her time to regain conscious, he just sat there, holding her hand and silently sobbing and at the same time, thanking her for saving his life.
