"I-jun...!" Seok-jin started to panting heavily before looking at the crying I-jun before glancing upon the Myeong beside her. "D-did I came in a wrong time?"

I-jun tried to bite back the whimper trying to leave her mouth. "You always come in wrong time!" She cried out, keeping herself into a ball.

Myeong moved towards Seokjin before whispering into his ear,"You are really getting married?"

He let out a deep sigh before giving her a small nod.

They both were keeping a little distance from I-jun so she isn't able to hear them.

"Shit! Now what you gonna do? Run away? Like always?" Myeong assumed with a high pitch voice while Jin grabbed her mouth, covering it before nodding with a tight smile.

"You want the whole kingdom to hear that?"

"My apologies..." Myeong scratched the back of her head.

"But why is she crying? What happ--"

"Dumbo! She like-" she took a glance at I-jun before moving closer towards jin and whispering,"She probably likes you."

Jin looked at Myeong with bewildered expression. He stared at I-jun's far figure before again looking back at Myeong.
"She......What?"

"Please don't make her cry more. Just sort it out by talking with her." Myeong said while Seokjin fell deep in thought scaning the events accordingly. Myeong put a hand on his shoulder before giving him a reassuring smile. "Look, tell her the truth only. Tell her whether you like her or not confidently, I am sure it's better than giving her false hope or leaving her hanging which could lead her to a very sick sta-Just don't make her suffer okay?"

Seok-jin looked up at her with mixed expression which certainly means that he's much confused with his decison, he felt that a heavy load had been shift on his shoulders without any alarm or warning. And Jin, who doesn't know how to get rid off it.

"Hey Jin~" Myeong smiled at him again but this time with a sweet aura capturing onto her lips. "Don't pressurize yourself. Just like I-jun, you're also my friend. Please call for me if you need me. I'm always there to help." She reassured him before leaving the two people alone.

Jin gathered all his courage before approaching I-jun. He took the blank space she have beside her and settled down. "Nice weather right?"

"It's freakin' hot." I-jun's reply made Jin cursed low in his breathe.

"Uhm...I mean a good day to cook something specia--"

"It's always special for you guys about food. What else do you need us to cook?" I-jun barked making Seok-jin lean back. She is upset.

"Let's leave this talk. Umm....we never got to know eachother's liking well. What is your favorite color?" Jin asked with his plumpy lip smile which made I-jun to look the opposite side., "common don't be so cock-"

"Maroon. It's maroon."

"That's great choice, I like pink-"

"It doesn't feel right." I-jun remarked looking down at her feets. "I'm not.....doing right."

"And what is not right?" Jin asked out of curiousity. Maybe I-jun's tone made it look way too exciting than the question actually is.

"N..nothing..!" I-jun managed to spoke as she proceeded to stood up though she was pulled back by Seok-jin. She glared at him. "You're going to get married."

"I know." He kept holding his wrist, he was not ready to let her go any sooner. "Don't you think you've something to tell me?"

"Tell you WHAT? You're soon going to be a woman's husband. You shouldn't hold...a-any girl's hand like this..!" Jin laughed bitterly at her comment before letting his grip loosen from her wrist. But instead he held her chin with his both palms firmly. "I-jun... I don't even know your last name b-but...I can say that I...I have grown fond of you. Every single detail about you, your anger, your smile, your laugh, your taunts even your ugly face..." I-jun scoffed at the last remark,"-I like every detail about you. I do think...I..."

Seok-jin looked up at I-jun for a reaction who was standing still with her head down. Her hands were balled up into fist. But soon a roll of tear from her eyes caught Seokjin's attention.

"Hey! I-jun! Look I-I.... it's fine if you don't like me back or hate me. Because... after all this I've always only faught with you and roasted you and never treated you well. I understand and genuinely respect your decision...but please don't cry..." He pleaded while she looked up with her teary eyes. "Please....I-jun"

She let out a whimper before spreading her arms and hugging Jin tightly before crying and punching his chest. "I want to h-hate you! But I....I could no..t" she sobbed while Seok-jin kept patting her back.

"I promise you, I will only marry you otherwise I will kill myself-"

"SHUT UP-you should not say such things in this situation." I-jun glared at him while he just giggled at her seeing how much cautious she is to him. "By the way, Why am I even talking with you? If you liked me how can you agree to marry somebody else?" I-jun crossed her arms over her chest.

"Aish...I-junaah~ it's not what you think...I only got to know about this few minutes' ago so I just....just...wanted to tell you everything, everything I feel about you. And guess the outcome wasn't that severe." Jin said with a smirk while I-jun narrowed her eyes at him.

"What kind of outcome you thought would've happened to you if you had confessed to me?"

"Beaten to death maybe-" Jin looked away,"-By you."

I-jun immediately punched Jin as they both smiled.

"Hey Jin! I wanted to tell you a important secret...."

After leaving I-jun and Jin alone Myeong kept standing near the corridor. Suddenly she felt a tap onto her shoulder which she thought was Yoongi so she didn't looked back.

"I don't know what I did this time but I swear that won't happen again!" She started to apologies without even looking back before a melodious laugh interlocked into her ears which she immediately recognised whom it belonged. She looked back with a pout before pointing at a Jungkook. "Seriously?"

"Hahaha! You should've looked at your face and tone...surely Yoongi Hyung is the only one who can make you do this, wild kitty." Myeong cringed at the nick name Jungkook jist gave her.

"Drop those nick names and say it already what you here for." Myeong said while folding her hands over her chest.

"YAY-you should atleast try to be formal with me. I'm the 7th prince and the youngest, I have an honor in this palace." Jungkook whinned with his fluffy cheeks.

"Geez! Don't waste my time if you don't have anything to say." Myeong was about to walk away when Jungkook stopped her.

"WAIT-ACTUALLY-MYEOG-I..." Jungkook played with his fingers before his ears turned red."J-jimin....hyung told m..me"

Myeong eyed his behaviour getting a idea of this drama's reason. Myeong scoffed at Jungkook's poor confession skills. Though he's still young and never been into a relationship.

"Jimin hyung told me that you....you PROBABLY like me!" Jungkook blurted before covering his red face with his palms while Myeong raised her eyebrows.

"The fuc-And why did he thought that?"

"Because You don't know how to confess your love towards me so you chose this option to show it and grab my attention." Myeong felt like fainting after hearing it. It was sure that Jimin misleaded this pure child. She facepalmed herself."Hey Myeong, you don't need to be tensed. I don't care about your status as a maid, I know Yoongi hyung, he will surely help me to marry you. I..... actually...." Jungkook blushed making Myeong's eyes widened,"-like you"

Myeong choked on the air, coughing as loudly as possible while Jungkook started to run thinking how to stop her from coughing. Jungkook's brought her a glass of water and she chugged it down in a gulp.

"YOU WHAT?" Myeong asked, shock was lingering all over her face.

"Why...? You don't love me?" Jungkook pouted with pleading eyes making it impossible to reject him but Myeong didn't have any intention to linger Jungkook's life with her messy one. He is still a blooming flower while she is a rotten one which is dried and wasted. She doesn't want to ruin another flower by messing with his life.

She sighed before turning towards Jungkook. "Jungkook....I can be your best friend b..but Lovers....."

Jungkook felt a heaviness overwhelming his heart while the flower he kept behind his back fell from his hand, touching the ground.

Myeong bit her lips feeling nervous about the situation.

"M-myeong!?" Jungkook called with a hurtful tone.

Myeong bowed at him. "You are still Young, prince Jungkook. Live, learn and prosper in life. There will be many chances of you to fall in love. You're handsome, cute, gentle and maybe a bit...harsh? But still you have a pure heart. Learn to protect yourself. Don't depend on your brothers...." Myeong held both of his shoulders. "Be a brave Prince. Will you do that for me?"

Jungkook just stared into her eyes with his glistening ones, he nodded anyway. He rubbed his eyes before giving her a sad yet reassuring smile. "I will For you!"

Myeong shook her head. "Not for me. But for you. You need to learn protect yourself, your people, your own Kingdom."

"YES. I will protect my kingdom myself. I will grown up and become more mature." He smiled. "Then...you will marry me, right Myeong?"

Myeong fall silent looking away. She wasn't even sure when she will disappear into a think air, maybe to her real timeline, maybe she will die? She doesn't know anything about herself how can he promise him.

"Look Jungkook there are so many things for you to left to see. Don't think about marriage. You're too young for that." Myeong told him with a warning tone. "And we are still going to he friend right?"

Jungkook frowned but still nodded. "Yes! We will never break our Friendship." Jungkook showed his bunny smile making Myeong grin at his innocence.

"What are you talking about?" Jin asked cupping I-jun's face.

"I-King. Your brother. He will kill Myeong." I-jun looked at Seokjin while Terror was clear all over her face.

To be continued. . .
