5- Let me go

The rest of your day went like the most depressing, oppressing, and stressing day ever.

Your eyes were gloomy, your face was dull, your heart was shattered. Every time Aban passed by your side while guarding the palace, you couldn't help but lower your head and ignore him, fiddling with your dress the entire time.

Hamza was confused too, what had happened to his princess. If he knew who did this to his love, he would take on his cosmic form and tear that person to shreds.

But every time he asked you why were you sad, you just said you weren't sad and he was mistaken about it, lying.

The palace was silent, cold and quieter than ever.

Because your charm was missing. You were the lustre of the palace. This place was just a representation of your mood after all.

The sun settled as the sky turned pink and yellow, soon black.

You gazed at the moon, remembering the most attractive man you had seen till date while pondering upon what destiny held for you.

And did you mention you couldn't sleep?

Every time you tried, you dreamt of him. The only picture forming before your eyes was his face. When you closed your eyes, the usual darkness was replaced with his smile. You were almost scared at one point as much as you were trapped.

-Jungkook's POV-

I walked down the street, hoping for the same girl from yesterday, running into me. I'd give anything for just meeting her once more.

Who was she, afterall.

Was she a sorceress, a witch, a magician?

What was the carpet like flying object she had?

And most importantly, why did she run away from me?

What happened so suddenly?

Hassan was unconscious the whole time because of my beating, he couldn't remember anything that happened, and he didn't dare to face me after the incident.

As I was weaved in my own thoughts, suddenly someone calls out my name.

I turn around to look behind me, I see Ayat, the daughter of the popular snake charmer, who visits the city of the sailors every year during the fair to gain a crowd of people, all clapping at his tricks and the way he makes the snake dance on his fingers.

Ayat approaches me. "Hi! Abba and I just arrived here, we got late it seems, the fair has already started." She says looking around.

"It started yesterday itself." I say turning around to continue walking as she accompanies me.

"Oh, well. We will have to leave the day after the dance night, though. Abba has places to go."

"Mhm." I say, not paying much attention to her words, because I was thinking about Yn the whole time, her traits, her characteristics, her body language, everything about her.

"Abba was saying how he wants me to get married soon, he cares too much about me." She laughs.

I nod. Soon we enter my house, she takes a seat on my bed as she pats a spot next to her.

"So, Kook, what are your plans for marriage and all?"

"I haven't thought of it yet." She slowly nods.

"Do you have a girlfriend though?" She smiles.

I look at her, how she had suddenly switched to that topic. Before I smile.

"No."

"Good! Because you can be my partner for the dance night, is that okay?" She scoots closer to me.

"Well, okay, if you say." I laugh. As much as I wanted to say no. As much as I wanted to find Yn. What was that girl, I couldn't stop thinking about her.

"This year will be our first time joining the couples for dance, how exciting." She chimes.

I nod as I move my head side to side to stretch it.

"What's this?" The usual tone of a smile in her voice now disappears, as she picks up the shawl from the table.

There you were sitting in the verandah, resting your head on the pillar as you listened to the cicadas. You gazed up into the sky as the stars become more evident every minute. You wanted to run away. You wiped your cheeks off of tears as another layer soon covered them, you were tired of wiping them off all day.

You took your head in your hands as your forehead veins throbbed, you were so frustrated.

"At one condition." You hear a voice.

"Only at one condition, Yn, will I allow you to go."

Furrowing your brows, you turned backwards while quickly cleaning your cheeks as your magic carpet appeared in front of you again.

"You have to promise me that you will do as I say." He says while flying and coming to sit next to you.

You fidget with your fingers as you wait for him to continue.

"You have to cover your face the entire time." You lift your head up.

"That's it?"

"There's more." He says. "Take Hamza with you. He will protect you."

"How will I manage him, he's a lion Aban."

"It's okay, you will."

You think deeply, before you nod.

"I just don't want the curse to-"

You hold out a hand and squint your eyes which cuts him off his sentence. You turn your back to him as you hug the pillar behind you, resting your head on it.

"Please don't talk about it." You say as your eyes shed more tears.

"I'm sorry."

There you stood, in the middle of the market again.
