"Excuse me" you clear your throat when you see Areum in the hall, the court ladies making a space for you. “Hi" Areum smiles and gestures you to sit across her. “Thanks" mumbling to yourself, you walk ahead and take a seat. For the whole time while court ladies were serving tea for you both, she stares at you with a smile.

You were doubtful about the way she gave you a kind and genuine smile. As you look at her with a deep frown she chuckles and then looks at the court ladies to leave you both alone.

When the door closes and everyone had left, she turns at you and nods you to take the tea. “Why did you want to talk to me?” you take the cup and take a sip from it.

"I have a lot of things going inside my head" she says and you look at her. “About his majesty, our marriage, our prestige” she sighs.

"Why would it give you a pressure? You will get a comfortable life after the marriage. What else do you need?” the words you spoke were hurtful to you as you had gradually grew feelings for Jungkook. “The royals don't have a comfortable life” she pauses and shakes her head.

“They always live in a fear of getting harmed. That's why I am so sensitive when it comes to his majesty. His life is at risk everyday” she looks at you.

"Why are you telling this to me?” you frown. “Don’t you like his majesty?” her question takes you back for a moment.

"Haha what are you saying? Why would I even like him” you nervously laugh.

"Well if you say so" Areum shrugs. “I only like bangtan. I am in bangtan sonyeondan shit for life" you say. “Shit? Did you just cuss at me?” Areum looks at you in disbelief. “Anw are we done? If so then I'll leave" you excuse yourself and get up.

"Yahh you can't just leave like this” she shouts at you while you wave your hand.

After you walk out from the hall, you hurriedly run out toward the corridor as your heart was beating fast. But then suddenly someone pulls you inside the room and muffles your mouth with his strong hand.

“Is this a kidnapping?”

"It's me"

You suddenly stop moving as you were struggling to get off from the grip and then he slowly let's you go.

"Yahh have you lost your mind? Is this the way of-" “Why did you not come to meet me yesterday?” Jungkook cuts you off with a frown. “I thought you were angry that's why" you look at him. “Then aren't you suppose to ask me why I was angry?” he squints his eyes.

"I thought you will get calm once you're given some time” you answer. “Aishh” Jungkook hisses and you widen your eyes. “Ohho? Since when did you get so comfortable around me?” you dramatically widen your eyes.

"Forget about it" he turns on his heels and walks around at the library. “But why did you drag me here? I need an answer” “Just stay quiet if you don't want us to get caught" Jungkook says and pulls out a paper and a pen from the shelf.

You annoyingly scrunch your nose at him and then he turns around then looks at you. “Did you see me haha" you rub your neck nervously. “What do you look like?” “What  does that mean?” you were confused by his question.

"Y/N, your real self" Jungkook says. “Ahh you mean my appearance” you nod. “Why? Why you need it?” you add. “For sketch” Jungkook sternly replies and you get excited. “You just have to know that I am very beautiful” you start and slowly after that you describe your facial structure.

"Eh?” you loudly exclaim when Jungkook shows your sketch while laughing

"Eh?” you loudly exclaim when Jungkook shows your sketch while laughing. “From what angle do I look like this?” you take the drawing and aggressively point at it. “You're always shouting and exclaiming around and this is how you look" Jungkook while couldn't stop laughing.

"You seriously” you glare at him.

"But why would your face even matter? We should fall in love with the personality and soul rather than physical appearance, right?” he says. “Well yeah but that doesn't mean-“ “Y/N" Jungkook softly calls you and takes a step ahead toward you with a smile.

"Didn't you get me?” he shakes his head. “W-What?” you gulp in nervousness and try to avoid his gaze but he suddenly cups your face.

"Can we kiss?” he asks and your eyes enlarges by his straightforward approach. Not getting any reply from you, he then starts to lean toward your lips and something clicks in your mind so you quickly step back.

"Why?” Jungkook was disheartened. “We can't do this" you aggressively shake your head. “But why?” “Areum will not like it and I am not myself at this time” you say. “Stop thinking about others and think of yourself" Jungkook says with a serious tone.

"But-“ “If you want it too then what’s holding you back? Right now you don't carry Hyuna's soul, you're Y/N. I fell for you, the real you who is inside her body" Jungkook explains. “But you haven't even seen me. You don't even know how I look like" you whine.

"Who cares about it? I will love you even if you have a moustache” he sounded funny but he was damn serious. “Yahh Jungkook-ah this is not a time to joke" “Don't hold back if you like me too" Jungkook then pulls you by your waist and smashes his lips on yours.
