The Royal Concubine

Part 15

Jungkook and Jong Mi were in complete disguise. She was never this happy. Jungkook just followed her wherever she went. She bought a lot of stuff, mostly decoration items.

There were food stalls, she took him and made him eat with her. A granny was running the food stall. "Jungkook tried this, it's so delicious", she said and attempted to feed him.

They called them by names so that no one would suspect them. Even though he was not interested, he had no choice.

"You both look so good together!", the old lady commented. Jong Mi blushed hard. "Are you both new here?", she asked. "We are travelers", Jungkook said.

"I wish you both have a lot of children together and happiness and prosperity", the old lady wished them. Jungkook forced a smile. While Jong Mi gave her a ring. The old lady was shocked to see such a priceless possession. She shivered.

She thanked her multiple times. After strolling for a while, Jungkook asked, "Where do you want to go next, Princess?" "The river", she said. It was mid-noon, so finding shade in the forest seemed a better idea.

The guards were also following them in a distance without spiking anyone's interest. So Jungkook didn't worry much. They both settled down under a tree near the river.

The river was flowing calmly. The guards gave them privacy and stopped at a distance but still kept an eye on the surroundings. Jungkook was looking at the water.

Jong Mi was quiet. She dwelled in her thoughts. "Where everything went wrong?", she asked. Jungkook still kept a calm face. "We were really good together.

Everything went well, only if father was alive", she teared up. True! Everything was perfect when her father was alive. The fight for the throne was one of the reasons where everything fell apart.

Everyone fell apart. Namjoon was a knowledgeable person but Taehyung was skilled. So, they made Taehyung sit on the throne, to gain support from a powerful family.

His childhood friend Yena became his wife and the Queen. Jong Mi was unseen by everyone. Her brothers were always overlooked. She was always a ghost. Only her father cared for her a lot.

Then Jungkook. He did things out of pity. But it doesn't mean that he never cared. Sometimes he too felt his heart racing for her, but he was blindly adamant and ignored his feelings.

Mentioning her father, Jungkook too felt bad. He was raised by her family anyway. She slowly placed her head on Jungkook's shoulder.

He didn't have the heart to push her away. So he let her for today. Maybe something is extremely bothering him or he himself is making things hard.

Yena's chamber~

"Queen Yena, the King is coming here. The guards informed just now", a maid rushed to pass the information. She immediately fixed her dress and make-up.

The maids made the room more presentable. Her heartbeats raised for no reason. She was clueless why he has to come all of a sudden. Is he going to confront earlier actions? Or something else? She welcomed him warmly.

Taehyung saw that the old Yena was back. The furious one was gone. "Please sit, your Highness", she made him sit. She too sat. "What brings you here?", she asked. "Yena, is there something bothering you?", he asked. She just smiled weakly.

"It's true after all, sometimes you need to go to extremes, just to make your husband notice you", she said. "Am I asking for too much? All I want is some love and care from you", she said.

"You receive a lot of love every day. You are the most favorite royal woman in the town. Yena, please be happy with what you have", he said.

He indirectly said that he can't just force himself to love her. Yena couldn't understand why he would come if he was going to break her heart again and again.

"I was asked to stay here", he finally said the real reason for his visit. "Everything in this country is yours, why would you need permission", she stated the facts.

Taehyung sensed a bit of change in her tone. After all, she is a human too. If he can change why can't she? She prepared the bed for him. Meanwhile, the food for dinner arrived.

But it was brought by you. Queen's mother started to target you. Taehyung had a shocked expression when he saw you. You on the other hand, as instructed, placed the food and served it for them.

"What are you doing here?", Taehyung asked. "I was given palace work, Your Highness", you said. "Why?", he asked. "Under whose order?", he asked. "The Queen mother", you replied. He can't even go against her.

Yena just witnessed the conversation. When you attempted to serve them again, she stopped you. "Thanks for your help! We will take care from here", she said. "Yes, your Highness", you left the room.

You walked to your room with a heavy heart. The sight of them being together in a cozy room with a cozy atmosphere reminded you of your place. You felt like he was just using you for sex.

The relationship bond and the power were really fascinating. The title of being his wife and courtesan hits differently.

You were given a lot of work these days, even though you had some free time, you couldn't be like the old days. You were just kept busy.

You didn't hear anything from Taehyung for almost a day or two. You were just doing some palace works for the Queen mother. One night Ms.Jiya called you.

You were instructed to give some medicinal supply to the King's resting house. "Y/n carefully take this to the King's place. A massager has come and she would be doing a massage for the King, assisting her if needed", she said.

You too took to the mentioned place. Walking to and froth inside the palace seemed like walking miles. When you reached the place the sight broke your heart into millions of pieces! Even though it shouldn't your stupid heart broke!
