JIA GASPED staring out the car window as Namjoon drove through the all too familiar castle gates. "Wow." She gaped, never once peeling her big eyes away from the massive palace.
Nari sat beside her, her leg bouncing as she bit her lip anxiously. This was her first time seeing Seokjin since his coronation day. Only then, she was an assassin working for the Embassy, here to kill him.
As she stare at her hands, a feeling of guilt washes over her. Her eyebrows furrowed in displease of this feeling she so wanted to push away. How would he even react? Will he throw her in the dungeon right upon seeing her? Will he send her away from the castle premises?
Nari could only imagine the worst. After all, who'd forgive a former assassin that was supposed to kill you?
Jia stared in awe at the tons of guards lined up on the edges of the castle staircase. When Namjoon parks, everyone files out of the car contently, especially Jia who had been anticipating her visit at the castle since that morning.
Nari sighed, hesitating on following them. As cowardly as she sounded, she wasn't sure if she could face Seokjin. No matter how much she missed him.
When her feet hit the concrete flooring, she stares up at the familiar castle she once lived in for a while. Tons of memories begin to wash over her. Good ones. Only they're quickly replaced by the bad thoughts of Seokjin hating her guts because of what she was sent here to do in the first place.
"You know, maybe I'll just wait in the car." Nari mumbled, too ashamed to face King Seokjin right now.
As she swiftly turns on her heel, about to venture back to the car, Jungkook is quick to grab her forearm. "Nuh uh. I don't think so."
Nari stops in her tracks, groaning at the boy. "Why? There is just no way he'd like me after what I did." She muttered, a frown resting upon her lips as she softly released her arm from Jungkook's grasp.
Jungkook suddenly tightly wraps his arm around her shoulder, keeping her in a hold as he gasps. He points toward the front doors of the castle. "Look, there he is!" He excitingly says, purposely ignoring her comment.
She frowned upon seeing Seokjin walk out the front doors of his castle with a big smile on his face. The Queen joins him as she walked beside him down the steps, coming closer and closer to the group.
Nari instinctively backs up, her feet taking that single step back the closer the royalty get. However, Jungkook's intentional grasp on her, prevented her from moving any further. "Jungkook, I can't..." She whispered to him, her heart aching at the idea that Seokjin might turn her away.
Jungkook slowly released his grip on her before sliding his hand into hers, intertwining them. "You can." He simply says, giving her a reassuring smile.
