The Royal Concubine

Part 22

Everything went normally after that. No suspicious activities were reported. Finally, the day Taehyung and Queen to make love arrived. Queen mother wanted this to be perfect. She gave full responsibility to the head concubine.

A maid came to Jiya with Queen mother's order. She ordered some of her maids to make a place ready for them. It's King and Queen after all. They choose a place with a beautiful view and secluded from the palace.

Both are safe , also giving them privacy. Garlands were prepared. Herbal bath and medicine were prepared for both of them. When the news came in it hit you like a truck.

Even though you tried to grasp the reality your stupid heart couldn't. What if he continues to stay with her and completely ignore you? Still, you did the assigned works.

Finally, the night arrived. You saw him walking towards the prepared chamber. You excused yourself from the activities. You saw alcohol bottles placed in the concubine house. It was so tempting at the moment!

You took a bottle and went to your usual pond. You started to gulp the alcohol. It gave a burning sensation in your throat. It was already taking control of your body.

Jungkook also came to the pond to get some fresh air. You were already walking in a zigzag pattern. "Y/n, Are you alright?", He asked you. The smell of alcohol hit his face.

"Did you drink? How much did you drink to lose your control?", he asked you, attempting to hold you. "Oh! Prince Jungkook", you giggled. "I am pathetic, ain't I?", you laughed.

"What happened y/n?", he was concerned. "I love him, I tried not to but I fell", you hiccuped. "Not because of the body, but he said that I was special. But I don't think he would never spare a glance anymore", you were still stumbling.

Jungkook was just listening to you. "If I was special, he could at least give me a little attention, right? He showed me the taste of the drug and abandoned me", you cried.

"You liked me, right?", you asked Jungkook. Jungkook eyes widened at the question. "I want you to make me forget this night", you said to him.

"Y/n! Stop saying nonsense", Jungkook said. Obviously, he too has slept with women, but he is not the type to take advantage of someone. "Please", you whispered.

"I want you to touch me, make me understand my place. Please remind me that I was just a courtesan, to begin with", you said to him. "Y/n, you wouldn't want this if you are sober", he said, trying to control you.

He wanted to move you somewhere so that you would sleep at least. "I am not drunk, your Highness", you said, seductively. The years of practice to seduce someone. "I don't mind the place", you clutched his shirt.

"Y/n, listen to me", he said. "No!", you denied. If someone else was there in your place, something else would have happened. He was putting up with the act just because it was you.

"Fine, I will give you what you want, come with me", he said. Finally, you giggled. Little did both of you know that Jong mi saw everything. She was broke inside. This time she didn't cry.

She learnt that Princesses don't cry! Jungkook managed to take you to your room. You were already drunk. He made you lie on the bed. "Sleep well", he said to your drunk figure. You were still mumbling words.

He left after you slept completely. He took a deep breath. He knew that the next day would be really difficult for you. He straight away went to Namjoon's chamber.

Namjoon was surprised to see Jungkook at that time. "Jungkook, it's so rare to see you at this time. What happened?", he asked. Jungkook explained everything to Namjoon.

"I don't know what to feel for her", Jungkook said. "Looks like your little crush came to an end", Namjoon chuckled. "I just didn't want to take advantage of her", Jungkook said.

"Jungkook, from the beginning she was just an attraction to you, nothing else. Focus on yourself. I will take care of this matter", Namjoon said and sent Jungkook to his chamber.

The next day, you woke up with a heavy headache. Slowly you remembered everything. You were literally embarrassed now. You were scared of the consequences. Till late afternoon, nobody bothered you.

They all acted as if nothing happened. Finally, in the evening, a maid informed me that you were summoned by Namjoon. You were really nervous.

You just acted up in front of the Prince, claimed the King to be yours and what not. Namjoon smiled at you and gestured to you to sit. You sat nervously in front of him. "Relax y/n", he chuckled.

You awkwardly smiled. "So, I heard about your little rant yesterday", he said. "I am sorry, your Highness. I lost my mind", you said.

"Everyone does, at some point in life. I heard that you are in love with the King and got jealous because he wanted an heir with his wife", Namjoon said. You remained silent.

"I know, I should have known my place. I am ready to accept my punishment", you said. "Y/n! Do you think we were playing while giving you the training that was supposed to be given to the guards?", He asked.

"No", you muttered. "Then, why don't you focus on that. You have already mentioned in the beginning that you were not allowed to study and do anything others can do, while you get a chance why are you wasting?", he asked.

"I truly apologize to your Highness! I briefly lost my mind. I will not deviate from now on", you said. He just smiled. "Do you really love him?", he asked. You just nodded your head. "Why?", he asked you.

"He was the first person who acknowledged me as a human, he really didn't use me only for my body, he gave me everything that I have now", you said.

"Also, no one ever wanted to listen to me or my stories, but he did. That's why", you said. "If he really likes you or loves you he will come to you definitely.

Till that focus on yourself", Namjoon said the same thing to you. You bowed at him and left the room. Taehyung came out from the place where he was listening to everything.
