"Baby, where are you going?" Taehyung's smile faded when he saw Valeria about to leave their quarter with her basket. He planned a wonderful day with his lover after coming back from the morning meeting with his ministers, yet, disappointingly, his wife was ditching him.

"I'm going to the market with Jisoo. We discovered a new jewelry stall, we are going there today." She replied, feeling sorry for crashing her king's dreamy date.

"Val! You ready?" Jisoo came, smiling brightly as usual. Valeria looked at Taehyung's pouting face and walked towards him, she pecked his lips surprising him. His pout and frown were all gone shortly. Taehyung grinned sheepishly and she chuckled.

"I'll cook you a nice dinner tonight, okay?" She winked.

Taehyung nodded, still smiling that his face muscles were hurting.

"Gosh, stop being so clingy you two." Jisoo faked puking. Valeria giggled and linked her arms with hers as they headed out.

"Be careful, I love you! Beautiful!" Taehyung shouted and almost had a heart attacked when Valeria replied.

"I love you too! Handsome!"

Taehyung knew this woman can never stop the effects on him, sending him butterflies in his stomach twenty-four seven.

Violet Pov

"Kim Jisoo, princess of Silla. She was your best friend. When the relations between different kingdoms were so tensed. You two didn't give a damn. You met her in the market, you both loved sneaking out to the towns and discover new stuff." Taehyung explained.

"I used to hate Jisoo because she was always stealing you away from me. Just kidding, I understand other than a lover, a friend is needed. Soulmates don't have to be a lover. My soulmate is Jimin, while yours is Jisoo."

"That's very true. There's something between Jisoo and I draws us close like a magnet." I smiled heartwarmingly, retrieving pieces and pieces of puzzles that built the picture of Jisoo and I. Our friendship is undeniably valuable to me, the both of us actually. Our bond is very strong like we can sacrifice ourselves for each other.

"Same for Jimin and I." Taehyung giggled. He raised his arms and took out a velvet box. I gasped when he opened it, taking out a gorgeous green ruby ring.

"This was our engagement ring. Valeria treated it like gold. I want you to have it, it belongs to you anyways." Taehyung showed me the ring.

"I-i can't have it..." I refused. Even though I know that I'm Valeria's second life, I cannot see us as one person. It's true that we share a lot of similarities, but I don't have her memories, I didn't go through what she experienced.

"Please have it. There's no one else I can give this to instead of you." Taehyung pleaded, his gaze sincere and firm.

I let out a deep sigh before nodding. Taehyung's lips formed his signature boxy smile and took my hand in his, sliding it into my ring finger. I fondled the ruby engraved in the golden ring, feeling a sad sensation rushing in.

"You know, it's very hard to not pull you into my arms, shower you with kisses and hug you to sleep when you are right in front of me. I waited for your appearance for countless years, I can't even describe how delighted I am to finally find you." Taehyung's lips trembled, biting it to stop the urge of crying.

I felt sorry for not remembering anything, I moved forward to embrace Taehyung. He instantly buried his head into the crook of my neck. "Remember when you asked me if I don't feel anything familiar about you? I do, I did feel something, but I don't know what it was. I'm sorry for not remembering, I know it must be very difficult for you... to wait. It's okay Taehyung, I'm here now."

Taehyung pulled away, his hand stroked my soft hair, he loved the feeling of having my hair tangled in his fingers. "You're here." Taehyung half-whispered. "I'm here," I answered. Taehyung leaned in until our lips almost touch, I backed away the last minute.

"I'm sorry." I gulped nervously. Taehyung's eyes saddened and looked away awkwardly. "It's l-late, I g-guess I should get g-going." I laughed nervously and bashed out of the room after Taehyung replied with a nod.

"Finally you are back! I've been waiting for you since maybe... noon." Jisoo exclaimed. I tossed my keys to the shoe shelf, I tiredly collapsed on the couch and rested my head on Jisoo's lap.

"Are you going to tell me what happened there?" Jisoo questioned.

"There are too many things I have to tell you." I sat straight on the couch, inhaling for some oxygen before telling her everything. "Prepare yourself for what you are going to know, I will give you a minute to do so," I warned her.

She scoffed, "seriously? I don't need it, just spill the tea, girl."

"Oh, trust me, girl. You need it." I stressed the pronunciation of the word need.

"Just spill it!"

So I did what she requested.

"Oh my f-king god My-god O-oh M-y." Jisoo fanned herself and rose from her seat then sat down again. "I felt like I'm having a headache." Jisoo massaged her temples.

"I warned you." I sighed.

I again used her laps as my pillow. I closed my eyes and fell into the hole of deep thoughts. "Don't say anything for tonight please, I really need some time."

Jisoo respected, she didn't let out a sound that whole night. She kept me a company and that's more than enough. I was trying to figure out my feelings towards Taehyung, I just can't see myself and his Valeria as one person. I can't even compare myself to her. I can tell how crazily in love Taehyung was with her.

I felt sad. Like he was just using me to show his longing for her. It was like he wasn't seeing me as myself. I'm just a replacement for his Valeria.

I played with the ring on my finger, the thoughts were stressing me out. What should I do?

Taehyung wants his Valeria back, but the point is, I'm not Valeria.

I cannot wait for his mixtape to be released thank you for reading
