Y/n sat gracefully on her throne, a warm smile gracing her features as she observed Yesol, now clad in armor. Pride swelled within her; he had grown into a young man right before her eyes.

“My queen,” he greeted, hand placed over his chest, his voice resonating the changes brought about by sudden puberty. Yesol had shot up a few inches, a testament to the passage of time.

“You can call me eomma,” Y/n suggested,

Yesol replied with a bright smile. “Surely, I can. But I just wanted to call you mine.”

Y/n playfully threatened, “Oh gosh, you want me to feed you to Soju?” A teasing glint danced in her eyes, prompting laughter from Yesol.

“I am not afraid of him. I’ve been practicing a lot with my sword, you know,” he declared.

“You can't threaten me to k’ll my son.” She replied.

He smiled, and walked closer to her before kneeling in Front of her. He held her hand, “I can never threaten you,” He kissed her hand, he looked at her. “I can k’ll myself for you.”

She literally doesn't understand what she has never done that he admires her so much? She wouldn't even look at him just 5 years ago.

“You don't need to,” she replied.

He smiled. “I will become stronger for you, no one will hurt you. I will make you proud.”

“I can protect myself.” She said, nodding his head.

“I know you can, but I still want to. I want to see affection in your eyes for me, you always looked at me with so much hate.” He said.

“No, I don't look at you with hate.” She replied, maybe she does.

“You do,” He stepped back. “I can see it.”

“That hate is not for you.” She replied. It's for her father.

Y/n took a deep breath, while staring at trees. Taehyung approached behind her and wrapped his arms around her, placing his head on her shoulder. “You look stunning, You are the most beautiful,”

She turned to him. “I thought that too until I stepped outside of the palace, there were so many beautiful women, prettier than me.”

“Really? I don't know. I don't look at other women anymore.” He said, He tug her hair behind her ear. “I just look at you, You are the prettiest.”

He took something out of his pocket. It was some type of potion. “You asked for this,x

Y/n, her eyes narrowing with suspicion, questioned, "Is it venom, Taehyung?"

Taehyung's lips never stop smiling as he replied, "I would not bring any more harm to you, This potion carries the promise to ease your pain."

As Y/n held the potion, uncertainty etched across her face, Taehyung continued, his voice tender, "Drink, and let the shadows of your past be washed away.”

She stared at it, not sure if it was actually a poison or not. But it doesn't matter anymore. She looked at Taehyung.

“I want to hold onto the memories for now.” She replied.

“Take your time, but make sure to lose it.” He said and cupped her face. “When you forget everything, I will remember everything. And make sure you live a really happy life with me. I love you.”

He felt hopeful too, letting go of the dark past would make him feel good too.

He kissed her neck as his hands started opening the first layer of her dress.

“Taehyung, stop.” She exclaimed.

“Why?” He asked while still kissing her neck. “I missed touching you,”

“I don't. I don't want to be touched.” She said,

“Are you making it an excuse, you enjoyed sleeping around with multiple men, you enjoyed being touched.” He exclaimed.

“That is a really shallow observation Taehyung, I didn't like being touched. I liked having the power. In the past, I wasn't in control, my husband decided that. And when I started choosing who I could sleep with, that felt like power. I felt freedom, in control, my body felt like mine again because I was choosing who could touch me. And it felt good because I thought I was betraying Namjoon. But you know who took that power from me?” She asked. Taehyung shook his head.

“You Taehyung, remember when you snitched on me and told Namjoon about Seokjin, and remember what he did that night?” She questioned. Taehyung does. “I realized, Namjoon doesn't fcking care, it was not a betrayal for him. He took that power from me when he just watched me getting r*pe by those other men. I didn't give them a right to touch me, and He just wat-ch, with a sm-irk. I am just a piece of meat for him, he not only k’ll my healer Jin, he k'lled my too and you know what you did after that? Do you?”

She is never forgiving Taehyung for that, and all the things he did after. No matter what he says now, she can't forgive him for entering her life.

“I didn't understand that then either, and was using Jungkook who was just loving me. I thought physical intimacy is necessary, it's everything. But Hoseok, he taught me it wasn't, he made me feel loved without using my body.” She exclaimed. “And you k’ll him, too. Oh Taehyung,” she sighed, “You are really a devil like your father.”

“Look I am sorry, don't compare me to him.” Taehyung said.“Tell me what will make you in control and powerful? I will do that for you, does it make you powerful that you own the whole Korea?”

She nodded his head. “I do. But still weak, because I am not unable to hurt Namjoon the way he hurt me. Nothing is enough,”

“Tell me then, Will you feel the power again if you hurt him? Will you feel the power if he suffers like the way he made you suffer? Will you feel the power if you k’ll him with your own hand?” Taehyung asked.

“Yes, more. I want him to suffer more. I want him to experience death again and again but not d’e. I want to keep him forever to myself and hurt him.” She said, and he kissed her forehead.

“But you want to forget everything too.”

She does, that is why it is confusing, she can't decide if she should just forget everything and move on or live with pain.

“If I lived with pain, I would not be able to love. I want to love,” she wants to love Jungkook back.

“Then love, it's a better way, you and I will get a happy ending. I love you so much, I just want to be with you once.” He hugged her tightly

She placed her head over his chest, hearing his heartbeat. She hates Taehyung as much as she hates Namjoon. And she wants him to d’e too.

She chose heartbreak and betrayal to be his punishment, that is why she used flowers as a weapon.

“I love you, Y/n, and I will wish only for you to be mine.”

Taehyung's vision got blurry. He has been feeling dizzy and couldn't even breathe properly.

His lungs are filled with venom now. For weeks, he had been sleeping and inhaling the venomous air.

Those flowers can take days to show their effect, but once they get inhaled they start filling the lungs, slowly that is why Taehyung didn't even notice at the beginning. But once the poison air completely filled the lungs it takes only a few hours to k’ll the person.

When his noona told him about Y/n he felt betrayed, and of course his heart was scattered.

“Taehyung, honey I told you to be careful of that woman!” She exclaimed, she felt pain in her chest seeing Taehyung's state. She knows there is no remedy, maybe she should have been more careful.

“Can y-ou teleport me to her?” He said.

“Are you serious?” His noona exclaimed.

“Yes, I w-ant to ask her myself,” he wanted to ask why she did this? He just wanted a happy ending with her.

She stared at him and felt bad but she knew the intensity of Taehyung's love for Y/n so she fulfilled her wish.

He found himself in her room. She was sitting near her dressing table with her long black hair falling at her back.

Their eyes met in the mirror, Taehyung held a glint of betrayal and profound sorrow. He was breathing heavily.

"Y/n," he whispered, his voice a fragile echo in the vastness of the room. "Why? Why did you betray me?"

“You deserve it,”

“I deserve i-t? I know I caused you pain b-ut I tried my best to b-ring yo-u ease.” He continued. “I was willing to do e-verything for you,” But the pain was etched on Taehyung's face, He staggered forward, each step a struggle against the ache in his heart. He felt weak and he held onto the side of the dressing table, he coughed loudly, coughing out fresh blood.

He fell on the ground and looked at her. “Are you feeling the power now? By k’lling me?”

“Yes,” she replied. His eyes got filled with tears.

“Y-OU DON'T KNOW WH-AT YOU HAVE DONE!”  He yelled, which was a wrong decision, as his chest felt more pain.

He is not losing her in this life. He is losing her forever. He is losing the possibility of being with her in every life. She doesn't understand it. She will understand what he has sacrificed for her happiness.

Taehyung stared at her, scared that this would be the last time he would see her face.

"Hold me, Y/n," he implored, reaching out with trembling hands. “Please, I want to d’e in your arms,”

He collapsed into her arms, he could feel himself finding harder and harder to stay alive with each second. But he wanted her warmth, Taehyung sought solace in the arms of the one who had shattered his heart.

But Y/n pushed him causing him to fall on the ground. “Don't touch me.”

"You wanted to love me, Tell me it wasn't all a lie," he murmured, his voice barely audible.

“I wanted to love Jungkook. Not you, what made you think that I will love you when you have his blood in you?” She exclaimed.

“You are punish-ing me for being his so-n?” Tears fell from his eyes.

Y/n stood up, “I'm punishing you for what you have done to me.”

Others will get second chances in other lives, even Namjoon but what about Taehyung?

He is never going to be with her again.

“Just hold me, f-or the last time. I will fo-rgive you for k’lling me.” He said. She stepped closer to him, and squatted down. He felt a hope that she would hold him.

Hold him, Was she able to hold Jin? Her pet? Her daughter?

She holds his hair harshly, making Taehyung look at him. “Who wants you to forgive me? Die, and remember who ended your life.”

She holds his face making sure she is the last thing he sees before dying.

He will not forgive her, he will never forgive her. She is never getting her happy ending after all he didn't get his happy ending with her.
