The King's Concubine

Chapter 21

"Mother can't this wait till tomorrow? My wife is having mild pains again, I don't want to risk anything.And what is this about anyway?"He asks irritated.Well he is my son inlaw, the mother of my grandchildren.Am I not allowed to talk to him?" The old queen asks equally as irretated."No of course you can mother, but whenever you and that whitch talk with him, he ends up being upset and it takes a toll on him and we can't afford any stress on Junkook and the baby anymore.My wife is happy now, we are happy now mother, please don't try to put any stress on him I'm begging you."Taehyung pleads to his mother." You really love this boy more than your mother don't you my boy.I hope, I seriously hope he loves you the same way you love him, because they say love conquers all."She says looking her son dead in the eye while walking past him and enters his private chambers.

"Baby, you have to relax now okay,there is only one month left for us to be together.So you have to be a good boy for eomma huh, what say?" Junkook says while softly caressing his huge tummy as he talks to his unborn whom is currently moving left and right leaving Junkook in pain." Why..aren't you looking very pretty today in all white like a new vergin bride."Junkook jumps at the sudden high pitch voice coming out of nowhere.He knows exactly who the voice belongs to and immediately starts to stiffen in his place.They can't say he hates the woman, but he isnt exactly crazy abaut her either.She always has this aura around her that makes Junkook extremely nervous even awkward and super conscious.The less he sees of her the better.He gets up nonetheless to atleast greet the woman, she is indeed the first queen and the kings mother.

"No, no as you were my dear.My son says you're feeling a bit under the weather.I would suggest you stay put and get some rest I wouldn't want to cause my grandson any harm."The old woman says more like a statement in the courts.She gestures for Junkook to sit down as she takes out his brush and start brushing his soft hairs softly."Yes,mother."Junkook says bowing his head.He unto this day feels weird for adressing her as mother on Taehyungs insistence.Even after all these years, he can never say she was like a mother to him.She was always the queen and he was his husband's concubine.She printed it into his head since a young age.'You little one are here to serve my son do not fly to high because you have your own little chambers and servants.This could all be taken away in a heartbeat, so you better fulfill all my sons wishes.'Junkook remembers her cruel words many years ago like he would choose the riches over a real family.He remember crying for days, but he can't remember who he was crying for.He can't even remember his mother brushing his hair, he can't even remember her face.

"Mother, I think you should leave right this instant!"Taehyung shouts as he enters the room.Why,what did I do wrong? I swear I didn't do anything.I started brushing his hair and I saw him crying all of a sudden."She says and Junkook wipes at his cheeks, he didn't even know he was crying until now."No,Taehyung!" Junkook lifts himself up slowly with Taehyung walking his way ready to help."Im sorry, I was just getting emotional all of a sudden.Must be the pregnancy you know how I can get."Junkook says holding his husband's big hands in his smaller ones calming him down in an instant.Taehyung looks down at Junkook with so much love and affection that makes Junkooks heart skip several beats.He leans down and leaves a soft kiss in his wife's hair.

"Uhm seems like I would have to do it when my son is not at home."
