"Am I gone?” you open your one eye and look around but you were still in the same room. You've been trying to fall asleep and get back to your world but nothing seems to work at all. “Why isn't anything working?” you sit on the bedsheet and think carefully.

"Hyuna-si” the court lady Shin Moonyoung calls you while you were sitting down on the bedsheet, biting your nails. “Hyuna-si" she now raises her voice and you look at her, startled. “You need to rest now. It's been days since you've been stressing a lot. Take rest" she smiles. “Ahh yeah yeah I should” you aggressively nod.

"All rise for his majesty" the eunch announces before entering your room. “What again?” you whine and the court lady bows down.

"괜찮습니까 아기씨? (Gwenchanseubnikka Agassi= Are you okay miss? [Very formal]) the king asks you with a smile. “아뇨, 나 안괜찮아 (anyo, na angwenchana= No, I'm not okay[Informal])” you shake your head, annoyed.

"How dare you speak so informally to the king?” the eunch sternly warns you. “It’s okay" the king smiles. “If you are done then I may go to sleep. My wound hurts a lot" you act as if you were sleepy and lay down on your bed.

"Yeah" he nods and leaves your room along with the eunch.

"Hyuna-si how can you speak so rudely to the king?” the court lady Shin Moonyoung quickly gets by your side. “He is ordinary person like us” you ignore and close your eyes.

"He is not. He is the king, the royal king who takes care of citizens like us. You should feel lucky cause everyone doesn't get chance to see or talk with the king. If we disobey or be rude to his majesty, then he can even slay us” she explains in a deep voice.

"I have escaped the hell. Now let me sleep, my back hurts" you wave her off and close your eyes.


In the afternoon

"Oh? Miss where are you going?” the court ladies who were of your age asks when you get out from your room. “I am bored, so thought to get some fresh air" you say as you stretch your body. “But you're not allowed. You should-" “Rest? An order from king? I am tired of hearing same thing again and again. Also, I need to figure out few things so bye" you wave at them with a nod.

"Hyuna-ya let me join too" the young female who you saw on the first day with towel and bowl of water runs after you.

"Hmm okay” you nod and she smiles while following you.

"Are we close?” you ask her while walking around the palace. “Huh? Yeah we are" she nods. “What’s your name?” you turn at her. “Mine? Yang Eunbi" she replies. “Btw did you really loose your memory? You don't remember anything?” she nervously glances at you.

"I mean everyone says so. So let them believe what they want. Even if I say anything, it won't make any changes” you shrug. “Hahah it's a bit confusing but okay" she awkwardly laughs.

"You really don't remember anything right? You don't remember the forest incident too?” she again glances at your face. “Forest? Why? Was something related to this woman and forest?” you point at yourself.

"Oh so you really don't remember anything" she nods with a pout. “Why? What had happened?” you ask out of curiosity.

"Come here" she waves her hand and you bend down, extending your one ear. “You were shot by the majesty" she says and you gasps. “But why?” you now stand up, shocked as that was the exact thing happened while you were escaping with your father.

"Our king had gone to hunting late night and coincidentally you were also leaving to your home that night. You had taken leave from the palace for a week cause your mother was sick” she explains the exact incident which happened that night.

"Ahhh then maybe I can go back home if I get another shot?” you mumble which Eunbi manages to hear. “Say that again and I'll kill you with my own hand. You know how much I cried when you didn't wake up for weeks" she hits your lips with a worried frown.

"Okay I am sorry I won't ever say that again" you chuckle.


Jungkook's POV

“Doctor, what's her symptom?” I ask when I watch Hyuna having some conversation with Eunbi. “Her? Ahh the court lady" the doctor turns at king and then looks at your direction. “Amnesia. Dissociative amnesia" he says. “Hmm" I nod to myself.

"전하 (Jeonha=Your majesty)” I hear a call.

"Oh Hyungnim" I smile and the doctor excuses us. “I gave you leave then why are you here?” I smile to him, Kim Seokjin.

"Anxiety got me so bad that I couldn't resist myself” he bows at me. “It’s okay. Even I felt same" I laugh but there's still a little fear in me.

"Areum sent me a letter for you" he then takes out a slip and I excitedly turn at him. “How is she doing? Is she fine? She's healthy right?” in my excitement, I ask a lot of questions.
