Rebirth [A BTS Fanfiction]

Darkness of the night

Jinyoung cleared his throat awkwardly as he looked around the dining table. His eyes subtly glanced towards his left to find his father silently eating his food, acting as if the world doesn't exist. And on his right sat the cold princess herself. After wasting a lot of his free time, he concluded to give her that nickname. However, he won't make the mistake to say that out loud.

Just a few minutes ago, she had caught him spying on her. And though it wasn't true, because he didn't even hear what she and her maid was talking about, he didn't get the chance to explain himself. Jinyoung's eyes narrowed at the man that stood at the very corner of the hall with a blank look, aka the cause. Just when he was about to explain himself, Mr. Oliver had interrupted their conversation by saying that Mr. Lee was home and was calling them at the dinner table.

Haneun just gave him a cold glare, as if telling him that it isn't over before she left. She ate silently even tho she can feel many eyes on her. She grabbed a glass of water and took a sip from it when her father spoke up.

"Your school will begin next week. Prepare well." Mr. Lee said, giving a glance at her. Haneun elegantly kept the glass back on the table and gave a small nod with a blank face.

'I've already faced many things. Attending a school filled with snakes won't be a hassle if I don't have to see your face every day.' Haneun thought to herself as she hid her bitter face. She side glanced at her brother, who was eating with a blank face but haneun could clearly see he wasn't very fond of the situation he was in.

Now that she thinks of it, although her body was young, her soul was older than jinyoung. She could see that he still wasn't fully trained because his expressions aren't as trained as hers. She has been training her facial expression for a longer time than jinyoung and it was normal for her to be more experienced. A very small smirk made its way on her lips before it was gone.

'Let's see how loyal you are to me, little brother.' Her eyes turned cold as she continued eating. She won't make another mistake and trust anyone blindly. She had asked jinyoung for help but that doesn't mean she'd be totally depending on him. He was just an option that she wanted to give a try, and nothing more. In 6 days, her school days would officially begin and that's the deadline for jinyoung to make his move. If he fails to show her progress, she'll toss him away and handle this herself.

Jinyoung suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. His head slowly turned to his right to see Haneun looking at her food blankly while the temperature around her dropped a few degrees. He subconsciously gulped and looked away. The whole dinner ended with an uncomfortable silence.

Haneun could feel her leg muscles starting to ache when stood up but remained unruffled about it. Her wrist still ached occasionally when she exerted a lot of pressure on it, but it wasn't as bad as it was the day she woke up. She noticed that her injuries had healed a lot faster than they should've and she wasn't complaining. If she was put on total bed rest for 1 month like last time then she surely would've died again. Already feeling her eyelids close from fatigue, she stood up and was about to leave when she heard Mr. Lee stopped her.

"There is something I need to discuss with you. I want you at my study in five minutes."

His cold voice rang in her ears as she froze for a moment. Mr. Lee didn't wait for an answer and immediately left without another glance. Her pretty face immediately turned dark. After waking up and realizing that she had traveled back in time, she felt as if there wasn't a day she spent without wanting to murder someone. And today was no exception.

First, she caught Jinyoung doing god knows what in front of her door and now she needs to handle Mr. Lee. Truly pitiful.

She sighed inaudibly and turned to look at jinyoung, only to find him already staring at her. She gave him a blank look. Jinyoung immediately broke the eye contact and looked away. His eyes roamed around the hall, refusing to look in haneun's direction. Haneun's lips twitched as she looked at him. Not wanting to waste her breath on him, she just shook her head and left.
