Ancient Love - Jerusha Rock

Chapter 13

Jungkook's pov

"You've fallen for her...haven't you?" Lisa asked.

"Why do you care? Just mind your own business." I said, coldly.

"So, you have."

"I said mind your own business." I almost yelled. She always kept getting on my nerves.

"Anyways, if you love her then you're going to lose someone as cute as me...."

No, she's way cuter.

"You're going to lose someone as pretty as me..."

No, she's way prettier. You're blind.

"And... you're going to lose such a good friend like me."

I don't care if I lose you. I can see that you're jealous. In fact,...very jealous.

"Look, I don't give a damn about you. Just because Jeonha Seokjin assigned you to be my so-called 'assistant', doesn't mean you're my assistant." I spoke. I was about to leave until when she said, making me stop "Let me tell you something." She stood in front of me, folding her arms. 

"Look, Jeonha Seokjin didn't make me your assistant for nothing. You had so much time and you didn't even do anything. There wasn't even a scratch on her. That's why he made me your assistant. I would rather kill her myself instead of being with you like this." With that said, she left. I sighed out heavily and sat on the ground.

What am I going to do?

I was in the palace, looking at the paintings that hanged on the wall. I was looking at all the paintings of different people until when my eyes landed on one of the paintings. I looked at it closely. It looked like a painting of the queen's family. I looked at her mother first then her father, I looked at the baby in the arms of her mother.

That must be Kyuhyun.

Then my eyes finally landed on the young girl standing next to her father. My eyes widened as soon as I looked at her.

Wait...is that...

I heard footsteps approaching from behind. I turned around to see the queen walking fast. I smiled. I made my way towards her. I said, walking along with her "Daebi-mama, I-"

"Not now, Kookieana." She murmured.

"Daebi-mama, actually I-"

"Kookieana, not now." she said a bit louder.

"Daebi-mama-"

"I SAID NOT NOW, KOOKIEANA." She yelled at me. I stopped and stood in horror. I saw her walk away.

What's wrong with her?

***

It was night. When we sat together for dinner, I saw that the queen barely touched her food. I wanted to ask what had happened but then I didn't.

Maybe something's wrong and she needed some time alone...

Jina's pov

I was in my room, thinking about what had happened. It horrified me. The events kept occurring in my mind. I sighed out heavily and laid down on my bed. I felt quite hungry but then all I cared about was what had happened. I tried to sleep but then it didn't work. I looked outside my window and saw the moon.

I was so angry about what had happened. I didn't mean to yell at her like that. With all the stress I was going through, it was hard for me to stay calm.

I didn't even know what Kookieana wanted to say.

I looked at her face once I yelled at her. She looked shocked. It did hurt me but all that was running in my mind was what had happened.

Kookieana is a very sweet woman. Why did I yell at her?

Jungkook's pov

I laid down on my bed, staring at the ceiling. When she yelled at me, it hurt me a bit. Then I heard the door creaking open. I immediately jolted up. It was the queen.

Phew! Thank God I didn't remove off my makeup or wig.

Her head was bent low. I said, bowing down "Daebi-mama..."

"Kookieana..."

"What happened, Daebi-mama? Is something wrong?"

"Kookieana... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you before. It's just that-"

"Daebi-mama...it's alright. You don't need to apologize. I'm just a minister afterall. You're a queen and you have all the rights to yell at me." She walked slowly towards me and hugged me. I felt heat rising on my cheeks. I hugged her back. She said, through the hug "You're not just a minister...You're a sister. A very good and sweet sister. I really didn't mean to yell back there. Something had happened and I was angry." I let go of her and asked, "What happened, Daebi-mama?"

She sat down on the bed and I sat next to her. She said, sighing out heavily "Something really bad happened in the kingdom. Thank God, I had found it out before the kingdom had found out. So, everything is under control now. There's nothing to worry about."

"What happened?"

"Ummm...I was going for rounds in the kingdom to check if everything was good. I went to the forest and I saw a woman...dead. She was hanging from a tree. But then, she wasn't from our kingdom. On the tree, there was a note."

"W-What was written on it?"

"It was written that I had to go in search of him. He also told me not to worry as it was not Seokjin."

"If it's not Jeonha Seokjin, then who else can it be?"

"I'm not sure. Other than Seokjin we have Jeonha Namjoon and Jeonha Hoseok."

"Wait...that's all. I'm sure there's one more but I'm not getting his name." We both thought for a while and then I got it. I said, not being sure with myself "Is it Jeonha...."
