Author's POV: 

You stared at him wide-eyed who seemed unbothered. He kept chewing his doughnuts and stared in your direction with a smile. You looked away, gulping.
"Hey, you okay?" 
"Umm... so- uhh.." You were stuttering, completely confused. What the heck was up with this supernatural guy? He didn't have to show up... not now. The thought of him seeing you with another guy was making you uncomfortable. You gulped, trying your best not to glance at him and said, "Umm.. c-can I postpone that for later?" 

Hyunjin immediately regretted asking you questions like that and got up saying, "Hey! Sorry if I made you uncomfy... I just- anyway, sorry... see you some other time then." He left and you couldn't even correctly say a 'goodbye'. You didn't want to shoo him away but he was being so straightforward, it confused you too.
You gulped and looked at the table again, but your frown deepened when you saw no one. Looking in front of you, you almost screamed. He was there, this guy knew how to shock the hell out of you.

"Hey... did I interrupt?" He asked, sounding so normal as if he didn't just- Anyway, you gulped and said, "Why do you appear out of nowhere?"
"Umm... to check up on you." He smiled, staring at you, lovingly. You just stared at him a little confused, a thought crossing your head, 'He claimed to love me and said I was his lover, what if he misunderstands the situation with the guy?' 
"I won't." He said and smiled saying, "I don't like him but I won't. You're my lover... until you break the bond yourself, you're all mine, just mine. And I'm all yours... he's no one in between." 

Taehyung's smile seemed normal, he didn't seem jealous nor sad or disappointed. He was normal yet the slightest tint of insecurity was visible in some depth of his eyes.
"Until I know the truth... I'll let you continue with those words." You said, staring at your latte as he smiled, "Do you want to eat something?" You shook your head. 
"Wanna come with me somewhere?" You shook your head again. He sighed and said, "Is that how you avoid me?" You nodded. 

He couldn't help but chuckle. You didn't change, not at all. Still, that reckless and straightforward Y/N he knew. 

"You won't regret it, you'll see a magic you've never seen before." He said.
"Magic?" You asked. He nodded and said, "2 hours from now, you just need to wear a gown and maybe set up your hair a little. That's it and the magic will happen on its own." 
"What's all that? That sounds ridiculous."
"But you know I can do anything." 
"Right... but still, for what am I gonna wear a gown?"
"If I tell that to you right now, the fun will dissipate." You just stared at him, wondering if it was okay to trust him. Wear a gown and set up your hair, a party? Yeah, that seemed like it. 
"But I don't wanna go." You said, sipping your latte. He sighed and replied, "It's nothing related to the memories or me trying to make you remember. It's somewhere... different." 
"If you don't wish to come, it's fine but I brought this gown for you." He smiled, handing you a box. You frowned and opened it making your eyes widen.

A beautiful greyish gown with a shade of cadet blue. It was glamorous. 
"What on earth..." You gasped as he said, "It took me 20 years to get my hands on that gown back in 1935... just for you." 
"You're lying.." You said, in disbelief but his expressions were clear, he wasn't. 

You would've rejected him but the fact that this beautiful gown was here and that he gave it to you, it sort of- melted you in some way. You didn't expect this at all but it melted you. You felt bad rejecting him. And you also needed to trust him to know everything about the past and present which you had no idea about. He was the only one who could tell it to you. 

You took in a small breath and said, "Fine... I'll go." 
"Thank you." He said, smiling. You felt guilty for some reason. You kept doubting him constantly. How could this guy still keep smiling at you like it was all okay? Weird... but anyway. 
"I'll go with you then... but at least tell me where we're going." 
"France." 

"What?!" You almost screamed but shut up, realizing people were staring. 
"That's impossible..."
"You'll see whether it is or not."

---Time skip 

1.30 hours passed by. Your house was near the cafe, thankfully. You got ready in an hour and came out wondering how he'd be dressed up. In those full-covered outfits? 
You stood in front of his house about to knock but your body jolted up as the door opened, revealing him. 
You gasped. It wasn't the Kim Taehyung you knew...

His hair was combed back, revealing his forehead. A blue suit matching with your gown. His muscles were visible. Unlike all those full-covered outfits which already made him look so handsome, this suit was making him look too surreal.
"Thank you..." He spoke in a low voice, taking a better look at you. You felt like you saw his eyes soften while he stared at you, "Just how I expected... this gown looks good on you, really good." 
"T-Thanks but... how will we reach France in 30 minutes?" You asked, trying your best to acknowledge if you were going crazy or not. Right now, you weren't even realizing how you just played along with his ridiculous proposal. 

He smiled at you saying, "Your hair looks nice.." 
Well, it was clipped back in a Belle style with some flower pins. You blinked quietly and played with the bracelet on your wrists, looking at him. It made sense, weirdly. 

Going to France from Korea in 30 minutes... with him. It seemed so normal as if it was possible. 
"Close your eyes." He said as you looked at him confused but did as he said. He smiled and took a few steps closer to you, your heart was pounding so hard. Gosh...
He stood in front of you and held your hand making your eyes flutter open.
"It's okay... I don't have any motives." He was explaining himself, he didn't need to but he did. He made sure you weren't uncomfortable. And you weren't, his touch wasn't wrong, you knew he was trustworthy when it came to this. 
"Your eyes have to be closed." He repeated. You immediately closed your eyes and in a swift motion, you felt like you were moving. 

"A-Are we moving?" You asked, holding onto him tighter. 
"We're safe, it's fine." He said, you could sense him smiling. You still didn't open your eyes, you felt like you'd see yourself flying in the sky if you did. Maybe you actually would, who knew? But he held onto you firmly and you did feel safe, in his hold. 

After what felt like 10 minutes, you suddenly squealed in fear. You were so terrified, that you didn't even open your eyes. What a turn of ridiculous events! 

You slowly felt yourself standing still, with his hand on yours, holding you firmly. A few seconds later he spoke, "Open your eyes." 
You did. You opened your eyes and immediately looked at him who stared at you, he wasn't smiling. He just stared at you, with love. You could feel every bit of his affectionate eyes fill your heart. But no, you wouldn't admit it so easily. 

You looked away and looked around. The area was so familiar, it was France and in front of you was a huge venue. It was a party, a ballroom dance party. Exactly where you've always wanted to go once in your life. It was grand and it was held every year, only VIP guests, politicians and the royals were invited. That was why you could never go there but you were in front of the venue right now. 

"We're..." You breathlessly spoke as he smiled saying, "At the venue, you've always wanted to come." 
"How do you know..?" You asked, surprised. He thought about it for a while before saying, "I'm the King of Hades, love." 

You gulped as he leaned in closer saying, "Let's go inside, we don't want to stay outside the entire night." You shivered slightly as he backed away, holding your hands. You held his hands back, looking down. You both walked into the venue, you saw the people greeting him, did they know him? 

You could see many people around. Everyone was dressed glamorously. Beautiful decoration... and beautiful people. You slightly gasped seeing a man walking with a house of wine glasses on their tray. They were placed like a house of cards. 
"Oh my..." You tried not to show too much amusement but Taehyung knew. He pretended not to notice so you could squeal to yourself. 

"Hello... Mr Kim." An old-aged man came forward, shaking hands with Taehyung. You stared at them blankly. 
"It's a pleasure to meet you, it's been so long." The old man spoke, smiling. Taehyung smiled back and said, "Really... it's been over a century." 
Century? You were confused.

"Umm, is this your guest?" The old man asked as Taehyung nodded saying, "Yes, she is the one."
"Oh... she's- Hello... it's such a pleasure to meet you, Mrs Kim." 
The old man's statement made you look at him, totally baffled. Mrs Kim? 
"Ah... she's Ms Ha for now." 'For now' you heard that. 
"I know you heard that, I'm sorry." He whispered to you and looked at the man as you gulped, this was hella awkward. Mrs Kim??
"H-Hello... I'm Ha Y/N." You slightly bowed. Taehyung smiled as the old man smiled as well.
"She's still not one of us then. Well, that's good too. Hope you enjoy it, this ball... is only for you." 

You stared at the old man, confused but nodded. He soon left. 
"What was that?" You asked Taehyung who said, "They're from Hades." 
"What?!" You asked, almost choking on your saliva. 
"They aren't harmful. They will think at least a few thousand times before touching the woman of the King. Some humans are also here, don't worry." 
"You brought me in a ball- a very famous ball which happens every year. But it's full of- vampires?!" You asked, shocked. He nodded and said, "They're harmless as I said." 

"But... is this a vampire ball then? Does the King of France know?!" You asked as he pressed his lips, trying not to laugh. 
"There are vampires and humans... some species from the werewolf side are also here I guess. They stink... gosh." H said and sighed.
"You're kidding me." You said He shook his head as you spoke, "I need to leave! I'll die if I stay here!!"

He looked at you and took a few steps closer to you. Caressing your cheeks, he leaned in closer to your face making you look at him wide-eyed as he spoke, 

"Hey... no matter what, I won't let anyone or anything touch a single hair strand of yours. You're the woman of the King of Hades... no one will dare to look at you with harmful intentions... if they do, I'll rip them into pieces, love."
