In Black Ink chamber

Hawoon looked at the ceiling of this dark chamber where she was once held captive in here by one of her biggest tormenters....The appearance of this chamber changed thanks to Taehyung who doesn't wanted Hawoon to remember her past incidents but right now he is the one who created another Hellish moment for her in here ....

Beside her, Taehyung is sleeping peacefully like nothing happened.... On the other side, Hawoon couldn't get a glimpse of sleep on the whole night.... The torture is that much brutal that she didn't feel anything after a certain point...... After sometime, she stopped screaming and let Taehyung do whatever he wants to do..... She should be glad that Taehyung has put her some clothes on her body unlike Jungkook who just left her after devouring her.....

There's no tears left on Hawoon's words, No emotions, No pain .... Nothing..... Everything is tolerable now..... Maybe the Past incidents made her this strong that she didn't even beg to Taehyung stop......

On the other side, Taehyung woke up and get up from the bed without looking at Hawoon who was laying beside him completely emotionless..... He went towards the bathhouse as after sometime, he returned as he finally looked at Hawoon..... The emotionless face is something that hurts Taehyung but at the same time it angers him the most..... He slowly went towards her and unchained her and took her into his arms and went to the bathhouse.....

Taehyung carefully put her into the water as he slowly took the bowl and pouring water on her body washing her..... While he was helping Hawoon to wash, He looked at those deep red purplish bite marks on her neck, chest and jaw...... He intentionally touched those marks with his hands wants to hear a hiss from Hawoon's mouth.... Instead, Nothing came out from her mouth..... For Hawoon that pain now has became bearable enough that even it doesn't reach to her Heart now .....

Seeing how adamnt Hawoon is, Taehyung hold her jaw tightly and turned her around and made her look at him..... Taehyung's dangerous piercing gaze towards Hawoon is indeed cruel as he asked with his deep husky voice," Still wants to test my patience??? Still wants to be arrogant and face me like this??? "

He said those words putting pressure on her jaw tightly, as she just looked at his eyes with no pain that is something that Taehyung doesn't want to see right now.... What Taehyung wished to see right now being Hawoon guilty over her actions and seek forgiveness from him and be afraid of him.... But Hawoon is doing the complete opposite of what Taehyung has thought......

Hawoon: I. Did. Nothing. Wrong.

And with that she took that bowl and hit on Taehyung's head making him take few steps back away from her.... And taking the advantage of the situation, Hawoon tried to run away but she couldn't as Taehyung immediately caught her and drowned her on the pool by holding her neck for few times and put her out from the water....... Hawoon tried to get out of Taehyung's grips as she tried to hit him again with her hands but Taehyung threw her on the pool and went inside there and pinned her on the marble floor and shouted loudly," YOU ARE MY WIFE, KIM HAWOON!!!! HOW CAN YOU BETRAY ME LIKE THIS???!!! I DID EVERYTHING FOR YOU!!!! I DETHRONED MY OWN BLOOD BROTHER SO THAT WE CAN LEAD A PEACEFUL LIFE TOGETHER!!!! WHY YOU HAVE TO RUIN IT???? WHY??? WHY????"

Hawoon hold Taehyung's collar as her eyes are raging with full of hatred towards Taehyung as she said," You didn't, Kim Taehyung??? You did too .... You slept with Miyeon when you are the one who promised me I would be the only one!!!! IT'S YOU, WHO BETRAYED ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! EVERYTIME I SEE TAEMIN, HE REMINDS ME OF YOUR BROKEN PROMISES!!!!!!!"

Hearing those Words from Hawoon was like opening old  wounds that was healed long time ago...... Taehyung looked deeply into hawoon's eyes as he replied," It's Namjoon's Evil plan.... I never intended to betray you!!!! I wasn't on my sense when it happened!!!!"

Hearing that Hawoon started laughing looking at Taehyung with amusement as she exclaimed," You thought, I didn't saw it??? I saw you that night how you are holding Miyeon on your arms with so much love like you used to do with me!!!! It's same!!!! It's F**king Same, Kim Taehyung!!!! And what you said You wanted a peaceful life with me?! How can we have that peaceful life when I was tortured and humiliated by your brothers!!!! My dignity was sold to king Seokjin, Namjoon and Jungkook..... Where you are when they looked at me with their dirty eyes.... You weren't there.... I suffered Alone ."

Finally, Hawoon broke down into Tears as she pushed Taehyung away from her .... Taehyung looked at her with shocked face hearing her redemption.....

Hawoon: I never ruined anything, Taehyung.... It's you who ruined it in the first place..... Your obsession towards me leads me to the aristocracy in my village. Your obsession towards me leads the cause of my Mother's death and my separation from my siblings and my father..... You obsession towards me leads me to this palace where I lived a life of a sex  slave....   Your obsession towards me leads me to get into other's people lust.....Your obsession towards me leads my unborn babies death on my womb....Your obsession towards me leads my Father's death by Queen Mother..... Your obsession towards me leads me to stay here even I can run away with Jimin because of my children!!!!! I only stayed here not because of you ..... It's because of my children..... You ruined everything.... Your selfishness ruined my life.....

Hearing those painful venomous words from hawoon's mouth indeed hurt Taehyung the most..... Taehyung couldn't hold back his tears either.... Both of them are hurt....

Taehyung: that's how I love, Hawoon..... All I know that time it's the only way to have you beside me!!!! You wanted it too ..... You loved me too.... Tell me Hawoon what changed between Us??? Everything was fine....We are happy....

Hearing that words, Hawoon scoffed and replied," You are only happy, Kim Taehyung... You are the only one who's happy having me.... All of you just wanted to claim me like a puppet.... You put illusions on my head that I can be different from the others in here.... But how wrong I was..... I was treated here lot more worse than a slave!!!!! I don't just hate you, Kim Taehyung... I despise you... I despise you with all of my heart because you took me here, in this Royal Palace where I never belonged on the first time!!!!  And by what you did with me last night is a prove that you are just like Jungkook and Namjoon."

And with that she get out of the pool and went inside the chamber leaving Taehyung alone with her hurtful words that are still echoing on his mind......

In Somewhere

Jimin's POV

I entered into this villa after a very long time.... The memories of my childhood still lingers on my mind where I was so happy with my mother..... Je-Ha is in my arms sleeping as I went towards my old bedroom..... This place where I can hide my son is very far away from Seoul and on the border of Busan near the sea...... It won't be easy to get here without my permission and not anyone know about this place that much other than my mother and me....

So, Je-Ha is safe here..... The Old maids are still here taking care of this villa and very much loyal to my mother.....

I slowly put Je-Ha on the bed as one of the old lady come to me and bowed respectfully and said," Take My Sincere Greetings, My Prince. It's been very long time since you have last visited...."

Jimin smiled slightly as he replied," Call me by my name, Lady Yun..... I missed you so much... "

Lady Yun looked at little boy sleeping on the bed and looked at Jimin who gently caressed Je-Ha's hair and said," My  little Son, Ki- Park Je-Ha..... "

He almost said Taehyung's surname on Je-Ha as he reminded himself it's his son ... His blood..... The Symbol of His and Hawoon's love....Jimin looked at lady Yun and exclaimed," He is going to stay here for a while.... So, please take care of him... He might be mischievous.... But I bet you will love him.... After all, He takes after me..... Just like you have taken care of me in childhood, I hope you will do that....."

Hearing Jimin's sweet words, Lady Yun smiled at acknowledgement and bowed down deeply .....

Just then Jimin heard some murmuring coming from Je-Ha's mouth.... Jimin looked at Je-Ha with worried gaze as he tried to hear what he is saying.....

Je-Ha: mo... Mother..... Save....m...my... Mother..... Appa... hurting.... Mother..... Om..m..a is...Cr... crying.... Pl... please....help......

Jimin is so confused hearing Je-Ha's words.... What he is trying to imply.... Taehyung hurting Hawoon?! That's impossible.... The way Taehyung is head over Heels for her, he won't even lay a finger towards her.....what is Je-Ha trying to say...... Is there something that Jimin didn't know at all??

☣️__________☣️

In Black Ink chamber

Author's POV

The Door of this chamber opened by Taehyung as he found Hawoon sitting down on the bed looking at nothing..... She is so immersed onto her thoughts she didn't even realize Taehyung has came inside the chamber......

After the Duty of Royal Court Hearing, He came here as he thought Hawoon mightn't be here.... The News He got actually isn't pretty decent.... Jimin has escaped from the prison and Je-Ha isn't here..... Looks like, Jimin has taken Je-Ha away.... He still didn't give Orders to the Royal Guards to go to Busan and arrested Jimin.... And he doubt if Jimin has really gone to Busan or not....

The most difficult things to handle right now is his children.... Specially, Hanseong....he asked where his mother is.... He just said, she is sick.... He doesn't want anyone to be near him so Taehyung suggested to not try to meet Hawoon and the same excuse for Je-Ha..... Taehyung doesn't want his children or anyone find out the truth.....

Taehyung: why didn't you get out of this chamber??? I didn't put chains on you and the door was open.... Why didn't you get out??? You hate this chamber a lot.....

He clearly remembers one of those memories where Hawoon doesn't even want to put her feet near this place..... He wished Hawoon won't be here when he came here.....

Hearing Taehyung's voice, Hawoon snapped out of her thoughts and slowly looked up at Taehyung and replied," It doesn't matter... I have started to love this darkness.... No matter how much appearance changes, this chamber holds the same darkness..... Moreover, You Caged Me in here.... And this time, I wanted to be hidden.... I don't want to go back to that mighty throne that you blessed on me..... The Crown you give me.... It's a burden now..... The happiness I wished all are gone......"

Taehyung slowly moved towards her as he tried to touch her but Hawoon immediately went away from him making Taehyung halted his hand and asked," D..Do ..Do...You...you... love.... Jim...Jimin....???"

He stuttered when he asked those questions... Inside Taehyung's mind, He is afraid... He is afraid that He might lost Hawoon for forever.....He is afraid that It's Jimin who's on her heart right now..... Taehyung is afraid that he won't have any place in Hawoon's heart anymore......

Hawoon: No.... I might've in the first stage when I was so hurt by you .... As Time went by, I understood that I just needed someone to lean my shoulder on that time and Jimin happened to be a here for me..... But He... He really loves me with his whole heart..... I saw it on his eyes.....  And seeing that, I never could refuse.....

She finally confessed what she had felt ..... Taehyung was relieved at one point that she doesn't but he can feel Hawoon has some sort of feelings for Jimin... And the same thing goes for Jimin too..... Hawoon did have feelings for Jimin.... He is someone who was there for her whenever she needed.... She can't deny that he is the one who take care of broken pieces of her which Taehyung never noticed......The warmth that she felt from Jimin, She felt that same thing when she first fall in love with Young Taehyung.... The Taehyung who wasn't a King.....

Taehyung: Don't you love me anymore????

He asked putting a stone on his heart because he needed to know this answer..... He wants to know..... Hearing Taehyung's question, Hawoon finally looked at Taehyung's eyes that are holding so many unspoken emotions.....

Hawoon: I did when you are the Prince Taehyung..... I remember I loved that Taehyung.... But Now, That love was Dead... It died that night when I saw You sleeping with other woman..... My heart broke.... My feelings for you died.... I held you the reason of my Little sweet child, Taemin's death because of you, that little infant died in your brother Jungkook's hands.... You don't even know, Jungkook drowned my child.... I still remember holding his cold body.... You weren't there for me... You didn't save me.... When he r@ped me....The traumatizing memories haunted me.... The monster inside me shouted on my head as a bad mother who couldn't save her child.... Do you even know, I tried killed myself because of your Betrayal with Miyeon??? When you wear that crown and became King, you turned a blind eye on me..... Sometimes, I wished if Jungkook killed me along with my child that night I would be free from my misery.....

The Words of Hawoon is too much for Taehyung to handle..... Taehyung couldn't take it and went away from the chamber as Hawoon just sat down on the bed tears spilling out from her eyes like a river..... It's a very Old wound that never healed for Hawoon.... Hawoon couldn't move on from her past..... Because the Scars are big on her heart.......
