chapter 5
Mr.Cheon was sitting at the salon lobb,waiting for his daughter to come out. It was a bit surprise for him when she said she wanted to go to the salon. Danbi had never wanted to do those flashy things before. He tried so many times to get her out of her bubble but it didn't work. But right now,she has come out on her own.
Maybe,because she has no memories? Her behaviour has completely changed too. Like 180 degree change. He didn't know whether to be glad or worried.
He forced out a sigh.
"Dad"
He whipped his head up only to gasp. He almost couldn't recognise the girl infront of him.
There,his daughter stood. Her hair was no longer long. It was cut upto her shoulders. So,that is the wolf cut she had been talking about all day? And silver hair strands were hiding between her black hair strands.
But wait,
Where are her specks?
He frowned knowing she can't see clearly without her glasses.
"Wow Dan. I won't lie, you look good. But I won't allow you to walk without specks. Plus,weren't you talking nonstop saying how much you love your specks just few days ago?"
Iseul pulled out her specks from her pant pockets and waved it infront of him. "Here here. It's true I like them but it will ruin my make up. Plus,I'm scared about this glass. What if it breaks and those tiny little glasses will hurt my eyes! So,I'm gonna keep my specks inside my pockets"
Mr.Cheon didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seems like her brain had left her with her memories. He suppressed his smile, not wanting to laugh at his sick child. He nodded and patted her head. "Let's get contact lenses for you. Yeah?"
Iseul blinked few times,trying to figure out what was that. Contact lenses?sure she had been ghosting around the world for eight hundred years but there are some things she still doesn't know. For example, she knew about the handphone but she didn't know how to use it. And this contact lense case could be said as another example.
She nodded,not wanting to look stupid.
The father and daughter spent their day with laughter and joy. Iseul was really liking the new life with her new dad. She wished to live in this oblivious life. If she is oblivious, then she is the happiest. But the truth hurts like a bitch.
And that happiness lasted for the following week until that very special day. It was 16th August. The wedding day. But it was not the only speciality of that day. Iseul might have forgotten about it. Because she had never celebrated it for the past eight hundred years.
It was her birthday.
The day she was born into this world.
She looked into the mirror with a smile. She kinda missed her old body. She believed that she would be way more beautiful than anyone if she was in that old body.
Again,a frown took place on her beautiful face. Her 'dad' is going to marry the woman she despise the most in this world. True,that woman doesn't remember anything but Iseul remembers everything. Isn't it unfair for Iseul?
"If I can't kill her,then I will be the little gold digger and will drain her out of money. Just you wait,I will make you beg in streets"
"Now now,you are having some evil thoughts,huh?"
Iseul's face dropped to a blank one hearing that annoying voice again. That pain in the ass is back.
"Fuck off,dude",she snarled without looking back.
Beomgyu gave an offended look and walked next to her. "Your highness, your vocabulary is awful"
She rolled her eyes and minded her own business.
"Hey,don't be rude"
"I'm not being rude. If I were to be rude,you will be out of the space now"
Beomgyu nodded like he agreed to her. "True true"
"So,why the heck are you here? It isn't very pleasant to see you"
Beomgyu, "Ouch,that hurt. But I'll allow it since it's your birthday"
Iseul paused. "...birthday?"
Beomgyu nodded. "Yes! Happy birthday, your highness "
Iseul,"It isn't something to celebrate. So,get lost"
"Why not?! Everyone should celebrate their special happy day!",Beomgyu almost popped confetti but stopped realising what he said. Happy day? Is it really a happy day for her? People used to curse at her birthday when she was ruling the Kingdom. It isn't so different now a days. People still treat her as shit,saying how cruel the Queen Iseul was. But they can't be blamed. Queen Iseul was indeed cruel.
"...Will you get lost?",she mumbled as she remembered some ugly things from her past.
Beomgyu zipped his mouth. He really was careless with his words. Scratching his neck,he nervously laughed. "Hahahhaha,sorry. I will get lost now. Hahahhaa",Beomgyu backed away. He initially came to inform her something but right now,it isn't the right thing to say. It is better to get lost as soon as possible before she goes on her devil mode.
And like that Beomgyu disappeared.
Iseul looked at herself on the mirror again and this time,it was her old face which was reflecting on the mirror. The reflection was dressed in her royal attire. Iseul shut her eyes closed.
Flashback
It has been a month since the Queen Iseul died. And now it was her birthday. People were celebrating it but it was not the traditional way of celebrating a normal birthday. They were burning down her Palace with so much happiness. Her grave had been destroyed. Her royal paintings were on the road,letting people to walk on them.
Iseul was dead but her ghost was still there,watching everything. She admitted that she deserved it. She indeed did terrible things. But it still hurt when you know no one in this world loved you.
End of the flashback
....
Iseul looked at Mr.Cheon who was standing at the alter. He was indeed looking so handsome. He looked at Iseul to see if she is okay and received a small smile from her.
Iseul really didn't mind anything at all. She wasn't interested at all. Yawning loudly,she really embarrassed Mr.Cheon. When the announcer announced about the bride's arrival, Iseul turned around and left silently.
When she went out from the hotel,she saw this big garden and went to have a look. Strangely, no one was there. Maybe because it was someone's private property?she really didn't care to know if she trespassed or not. Anything is better than that woman.
Just as she took a large gulp of oxygen to relax herself, she coughed loudly. "Dirty air",she scrunched her nose and looked around to see who is spoiling the air. Following the cigarette smell,she walked further into the garden.
And there he is. The cause of the cigarette smell was standing next to a tree. He was wearing a silver tux. He was fairly young and handsome, she could say even though she could only see half of his face. And the black hair was jelled backwards neatly. The cigarette was in between the man's lips.
"Uh excuse me! I don't wanna be nosy but you are causing air pollution right now", she said loudly taking that man's attention.
And he looked at her.
An electric shock ran through her whole body,rooting her to the ground. All the words she was about to say were gulped down on her throat.
The man took out his cigarette from his lips and blew out smoke.
"You are...",that man paused as he was trying to remember who she is.
Iseul immediately covered her face by her palms and turned around. Just as she was about to make a run,she was hit with a wall and fell down on her butt. When she opened her eyes,she was met with a pair of long legs. She was too scared to look up. She could feel that man's stare on her. Though she badly wanted to not look,her eyes betrayed her.
"Isn't this that gloomy brat?"
She heard the man who bumped onto her says. She snapped out hearing the bone chilling voice again. She hated this voice.
She immediately stood up and backed away,still keeping her gaze on the ground.
"Jin hyung, what are you doing here?",the one smoking asked from the guy who just arrived.
"Isn't it because you suddenly decided to vanish all of a sudden to smoke? Yoongi,will you please stop this habit of vanishing all of a sudden? It's creepy"
Iseul couldn't believe what was happening. Never in a million years she thought she would crash onto them again. Sure,she knew that she is going to research things about their past bit didn't expect to see them -literally.
The bottomless hate she has for them had never vanished from her heart.
She again tried to run back but,
"Hyung!"
She again froze. That deep voice. Her breathing came to a halt. Her mind automatically uttered a name. Brother Taehyung?
She heard someone running towards them from behind. Not one. There were several footstep sounds. Two? No,three?no,Five. Yes,five people are coming on their way!
"Stop bickering already! Mom wants us to be inside the hotel! They got married while you two were doing hide and seek here!"
Brother Namjoon
She shut her eyes when she felt them approaching her. Her hands were tightly clenched until they walked passed her.
She secretly tried to escape but luck was not in her side.
"Oy! Bambi!"
"Kook,stop teasing her. Her name is Danbi"
She clenched her jaw. They already knew Danbi. Meaning,there is no escape now.
"Oh come on Hoseok hyung, that gloomy brat doesn't even care"
"You guys stop it",a soft voice spoke for her. Iseul could feel that that guy was approaching her. She held her breath in her throat. "Don't mind him. So,Cheon Danbi,it's been a long time since we last saw you"
She warily and slowly turned back. Her eyes almost teared up. Brother Jimin
The man was smiling ever so gently. Even though he was wearing a black tux,she could only see a man in silk expensive traditional robes with a long tied up hair.
When she looked at the rest,they were no difference. All of them were in their traditional robes with long tied up hairs. The illusion was too strong for her to take in.
Choi Beomgyu,you really wish to die,right?
