Y/n opened her eyes, she felt someone caressing her hair. It was Seokjin.

She woke up with someone caring for her. Time has changed. He kissed her forehead. "You have been crying in your sleep for the past hour."

She hugged him, he quickly hugged her back while kissing her forehead.

She shouldn't have sent Jungkook away, she needed him now. It's his child. And a part of her wants to leave everything here and run away with him to love a new life with him and his child.

"Please don't tell him, We are not telling him please we will not tell him about this." Y/n said.

"What if he hurt you again? It's better if you talk to him." He caressed her back.

"That doesn't matter, whether he knows or doesn't know. He doesn't care." She mumbled, but this time he will care. He has to care.

Jin waited until she stopped crying. He wiped her tears, he kissed her forehead. "Do you want to go out? I'm going to the market to get some herbs. Do you want to come with me?"

She looked at him. "Go out? Like stepping out of the palace? Without his permission?"

"He is not here. No one will even know. We will return. What do you say?" He asked.
__

Y/n was excited, she was able to get out of the palace with help of Yuri without anyone noticing. She was dressed as a commoner, she liked wearing simple outfits.

They went to the market, and she was shocked by how huge it was. She thought the one Taehyung brought was crowded. But here she can't even step inside.

"It was the main city, and Seoul has the biggest markets of the country." Jin told her. She looked around, everything was so exciting.

Jin held her hand, Y/n looked at him and smiled. They went inside, it was crowded but Jin didn't let anyone bump into her.

There were all types of people there. She wonders if her life would be better if she was a commoner. Her kingdom is happy, they live a free life.

She looked at the street snack stall. "Oh my god! They sell it here!" The snacks that Taehyung bought for her. But here there were too many types.

"You like it? You want to try?" Jin asked.

"I want to try all of them!" She said excitedly. And they did, she tried them all.

She found a herb shop. There were so many types of herb, "Can you name them all?" Jin asked.

"Of course I can. Echinacea, Valerian, Goldenseal, Feverfew, Gingko, Rosemary," She was naming them one by one.

"Fine, fine you can name them all." He said she smiled, she felt proud of herself.
"You think you can make medicine? You have so much knowledge."

She shook her head. "I can use my knowledge to make something else."

She got a little confident in the crowd, no one could recognize her. She saw a place that was covered in curtains, she moved a curtain and stepped inside the small room.

Jin was buying the herbs that Y/n chose. When he looked around, Y/n went missing. He got scared.

Y/n saw a card reading lady. She walked close to her. It was an old lady. "You want to know about your fate?"

She nodded her head. She sat down on the small cushion. "What do you want to know? How much money will you have? Who will you marry?"

"Love. I want to know about love. " The old lady told her to pick a card. Y/n select a card.

It was a blank card. She will not experience love?

"Why is it blank?"

"Pick another." She said, And again it was blank, the old lady was confused too.

"7 sins." The old lady said. Y/n stared at the card trying to understand it. It has 7 stones on it.

"7 people will love me?" She asked. Jungkook and Jin right now she can only think of two people, maybe Namjoon and Yoongi too. Who are the other three?

"No, you will not experience love. You will experience pain in 7 different ways."

"Pain? But I have already been through enough pain."

"More pain to reach your destiny."

Y/n chuckled. "You mean my deadbed?"

The old lady smiled. "No, show me your hand."

She holds Y/n's hand and looks at her palm. "Pain and glory. Is all I see.."

"What about love?" Is Jungkook's love fake? What about Jin? Does really no one love her truly? "I don't need pain and glory. I already got plenty of pain and glory."

"You don't need love. You will get plenty of love."

She thought the old lady would help her But her head was a mess.

She felt the old lady hold her hand, "Wait, a storm is coming in your life. You will-"

Someone else entered the small room. "Oh god, you were here and I was looking for you everywhere." Jin said.

Y/n stood up, when she saw Jin. He held her hand, with firm grip. First time she felt Jin holding her possessively. He took her out of the small room.

"You can't roam around like that! It's dangerous. You should have stayed with me! God Y/n, what if something had happened to you? You could have gotten kidnapped! Someone would have hurt you! You can't trust anyone like that!"

"She was telling me about my fate." Y/n said.

"Fate? Where is the diamond bracelet you were wearing?"  He asked. She took off all her jewelry but she was still wearing a small bracelet in her hand. She took it at her wrist.

"I didn't give her money, so she took the bracelet. I think it's fair." Y/n said.

"How is it fair Y/n? She is a fraud, she stole it." He said. Y/n looked at Jin. She kinda hopes she was a fraud, she doesn't want to go through pain. She wants love, she already has power and glory but it's kinda useless sometimes. Because she feels so weak because of Namjoon.

"Where are you taking me? I want to stay for longer." Y/n said.

"No, We are going back."

"No, It's still early, you said we will go back before sunset." Y/n wanted to stay longer. She was surprised by his protective behavior, but it did feel nice to see him being protective over her.
__

Yuri was surprised to see Namjoon. She was not expecting him to return early. And Y/n is not in the palace, only her and few other trustworthy people know that, Y/n went out of the palace.

"Your majesty, she is sleeping right now." Yuri told him.

"Sleeping at this?" He asked.

"She was not feeling well, you have just arrived, I will wake her up and send her to you." She said, Namjoon looked at her hand, which was trembling. He knows she is lying.

"Really? Then I should decide to see her. If she is not in her bed, then you will d'e." He said.

"You can check if you wish to see her." She said, she is not afraid of dying?

"It's fine. I will visit her later." He said went to take a bath. But he told the guards to look for Y/n.

"Check if she is in the palace, if you can't find her. Cut the head of the court lady for lying to me." He ordered them.

And they all started looking for her, she was indeed not in the palace.

Namjoon was bored of hurting her for no reason, it would be fun to hurt her for breaking his rule this time. He was already thinking about how he will punish Y/n.

The maids took off his clothes and were preparing for the bath. Someone hugged him from behind and kissed his neck. "What a surprise you came early."

He turned to Y/n, her breathing was uneven. Because of the way she panicked when she found out Namjoon was home. The maids left them alone.

"You are quick, I was about to catch you." He said.

"Catch me? What do you mean baby?" She asked. He cupped her cheeks, and rubbed his thumb over cheek.

"You know what I mean baby. You were not in the palace." He said.

"Why do you think that?" She asked.

"I just know, and why are you naked?"

"Because we are in the bath area. So I thought I would accompany you." She lied, she took off the dress she was wearing in a hurry, she couldn't be seen wearing it. And she didn't have time to dress up again. So she thought being naked was a better option.

He doesn't trust her. She stepped near him and started taking off his clothes. "You must be really tired."

"You are getting better at keeping secrets. You got some loyal people hiding and helping you with what you are hiding." Namjoon said. He is right, staff who have been Y/n and saw what she went through, she is on her side.

"What could I be hiding?" She acted like she didn't know what he was talking about.

"You are seeing another man." Namjoon knows it, but he is not sure if it's Jin or Jungkook. He would be shocked if he gets to know it's all of them.

"If you are talking about Taehyung,"

"I am not talking about Taehyung. He hates you." He said.

"You are the reason why you k'lled his wife?"

"I was trying to help. You wanted to hurt him, what else would hurt him more than  k'lling his love?" He smirked. What did she think? She will make Taehyung fall for her and Namjoon will just stand and watch it happen? He had to ruin her plan for doing that.

She caressed his hair. "Why are we talking about others when we are together?"

"You are changing the topic." He said. She forced herself to smile again.

"No honey, I just missed you so much." She said, He smiled.

"It would be so much fun, when I catch you."

"You don't trust me?" She asked.

"Of course not honey. You are so desperate for love, you can do anything for love. It makes you look stupid." He played with her hair.

"You know I am desperate for love. Then why don't you love me?" She asked.

"It's stupid, love is stupid. It makes people blind. I am scared of love. And you should be scared of love too." He said.

"Love is beautiful."

"Said who? Love is always painful. It makes you restless. No one cares if you show you love them, we humans want what we can't have." That's why he always acts like he doesn't care about Y/n or doesn't love her. That way she becomes desperate for his love

He played with her hair. "So whoever this person is, who is showing you fake dreams about love. He is trying to take advantage of you."

"What about us? You always hurt me." She asked.

"We are married, Y/n. We accepted each other in front of god. I am your husband, and I can do whatever I want." He kissed her forehead. "I am allowed to k'll you if I caught you with another man. But you know what I will do to you would be worse than de*th."

Namjoon stared at the small cage that was in the room. It was in the basement,  no one was allowed to come to this room.

This room didn't have any bed. It had a small cage except for a bed and there were chains everywhere. The chains were rusting. It was used to be his room.

He closed his eyes as memories flashes infront of his eyes.

Monsters are not born, they are created.

He was a monster created by someone else too...
