Goryeo Kingdom (a week before Chuseok)

As Taehyung Wangseja (Crown Prince) was about to keep aside the scriptures he was reading, Wangbi (Empress) entered the room. Taehyung stood up, and while bowing, he asked, "Daebi mama (your highness), what brings you here?"

She replied back, "I just came here to check up on my son. How is your plan to protect your thrown from the other princes going?"

Taehyung smirked and said, "It'* going well. It's just there is nothing much to protect from as the other Princes are away, and if I just act more obedient to father, I would be able to steal the littlest chances of the other Princes being the Emperor."

The Empress smiled, "I am proud of you, seja. I can't wait to see you on the throne, and then marry a beautiful Noble Lady or Princesses of Busan."

(A/N: Oop- why am I turning it into a k-drama?)

Taehyung scratched the nape of his neck and said, "Daebi mama, let's not talk about marriage. I will first conquer other Kingdoms and grow my Kingdom. Let's focus on this first."

Empress smiled and walked up to Taehyung, held his hands and said, "I believe that you will succeed in doing so. Do not let our mission fail."

Taehyung assured the Empress that he won't fail this mission. She said "Well, I need to go, seja. Well, do your job properly, okay?" Taehyung nodded and escorted her to the entrance, where the servants opened the doors for her.

Meanwhile in Busan

Jin paces back and forth in the Royal Garden, thinking about his sisters if they could survive the strict environment of the centre. He knew how strict their Master was because he had also been there for training. 

While being in his thoughts, his second-hand man, Kim Jun Myeon, in short- Suho, came running to him, and asked, "What are you thinking about, Your Highness?"

Jin looked at Suho and said, "Just thinking about Y/N and Jinmi. What if it is too burdensome for them? And, Suho, drop the honorifics, think of me as your friend, how many times have I told you?"

"Your Majesty, I am sorry, I forget every time... I am used to calling you 'Your Majesty' and I think it's wrong to call you by your name."

"Whatever I say is correct, so call me by my name only!", Jin said. "Okay... Jin... Well, talking about gongju (Princess), they both are really talented, one in martial arts and fighting, and one at studies. If they help each other, they would survive the training, and it isn't much hard too., you needn't worry much about them. Let's go and have a drink, and worry less about them." 

Jin again thinks deeply and nods in agreement, and both of them walk away to have a drink together.

The day after Chuseok. A kingdom near the training centre,

It was morning time, and the eight of you were riding on your horses back to the training centre. You all had enjoyed Chuseok except two of you. You were feeling awkward in front of Jimin. According to your memories, Jimin and Jinmi carried you to his room. You thought that Jimin might have been drunk so he doesn't remember about that at all, as he hadn't even talked about you sleeping beside him or the topic of the day before, where you confess to him, and also Jimin wasn't even feeling awkward or anything but was just worried about why you were going on and ignoring him.

Meanwhile, Jinmi seemed to ignore you, and Jungkook looked weirded out.. You didn't know what was happening with Jinmi and Jungkook. You decided to ask Jinmi about what happened, and why she was ignoring you, after reaching the training centre.

There was an awkward silence between the four of you, and only the sounds of four others could be heard, who were none less than the right-hand men and the princess and noble lady, who were chatting with each other.

A few hours later, at the training centre,

As it was a tiring journey, you all got cleaned up. It was the time to have lunch, and this was when you decided to have a chat with your unnie, to know why she was ignoring you. 

She had ignored you all the way to the training centre and also till the lunchtime. You saw that Jinmi was sitting near Jimin, and they were chit-chatting.  You were feeling jealous, so you decided to interrupt them. You went up to them and sat in front of Jinmi and plastered a fake smile and greeted them with a 'Hey'.

Jimin greeted you back but Jinmi didn't, and just looked away due to nervousness. You didn't feel weird in front of Jimin, at the moment, because you kept aside the day before's incident. You smiled at Jimin and turned towards Jinmi and with a straight face, asked her, "Are you done ignoring me?" 

Jimin looked confused for a moment, and after thinking about it for a bit, he realised that you and Jinmi haven't been talking with each other, since the morning. Jimin said, "You both can talk with each other. I will go and sit with someone else." You nodded and stared at Jinmi in anger.

Jinmi gulped. Beads of sweat were rolling down her forehead. Jinmi opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything, because she was scared about your reaction. You said, "Unnie, say something", in a cold tone. Jinmi gulped one last time and said, "W-well, yesterday, you kissed Jungkook...."

You were startled,  you whisper yelled, "What?!"

Jinmi nods, biting her lower lip, in nervousness. She then continues to explain, "Actually... yesterday night, Jimin left to sleep early because he didn't get to sleep properly since some days, and he wanted to sleep peacefully yesterday. Jungkook, you and I were the only people who didn't go to sleep. You kissed Jungkook at that time, and he kissed you back, but you confessed that you love Jimin and fainted, at which Jungkook angrily picked you up and there you onto a bed in a bedroom."

"You got to be kidding me!" Jinmi swayed her head left and right, in disapproval, and she looked like she was being serious. You stared at her in disbelief. You then understood what had happened. You were too drunk and misinterpreted Jungkook as Jimin and Jungkook got angry in the end and that's when he threw you onto a bed and went back to his bedroom. Jinmi ignored you because she was nervous about telling this to you because of how I might react, and you understood why Jimin wasn't acting normally with you and why Jungkook acted weird. 

This was a really big misunderstanding. Your face turned crimson red due to anger and embarrassment. Before running away to your room without eating anything, you said, "Unnie, couldn't you have told me about this before?!"

You moved back and forth in your room, biting your lips in embarrassment and nervousness. You grabbed your hair in frustration, after thinking about the incident, and that's when you heard a knock on the door. "Hey Y/N, it's me. Open it up."

"Go away!", you yelled back at your unnie, but the knocking on the door increased and out of irritation you opened it. Jinmi quickly rushed in and closed the door behind her. She had brought some food for you because you hadn't eaten anything.

You folded your arms and looked away from her. Jinmi kept the lunch box containing the food, on the table nearby and pulled you towards the bed and made you sit on it, beside her, and hugged you, rubbing your back. She whispered, "It's fine Y/N, don't worry, and please, do not skip your meals."

She broke the hug and was staring at you, in worry. You said, "How can everything be fine? I completely embarrassed myself in front of Jungkook and I freaking ended up in Jimin's room!" Jinmi screamed, "What?! I thought that Jungkook carried you to your own bedroom! Jimin didn't do anything to you, right?"

You replied, "No, he didn't. Jungkook threw me onto Jimin's bed, and I bet that Jimin doesn't know that I slept beside him."  Jinmi looked a bit relieved to know that you didn't get hurt. You sighed knowing the truth. Jinmi said, "Well, I think that you should apologise to Jungkook.." I replied, "Only when you are gonna come with me because you didn't check where I was kept last night!"

Your unnie said, "Okay okay, well, first eat up. I have to go to attend nature's call." Both of you chuckled. After Jinmi left, you smiled to yourself, knowing that your sister knows how to cheer you up whenever you are feeling low.
