Blood of Betrayal (Ateez ff)

SIX

The Queen had notice how distant the King has become, whenever she tried to visit his room he would be busy or sleeping. The Queen watched the crown prince sleep peacefully in the maids arms, she balled her fist glaring at the sleeping child who resembled you.

The King listened as the assassin in front of him spoke. "I am sure those blood drop belongs to Y/N, although I am still not sure why it is there." Yunho knew he would have to go see for himself. "Let's go see it tomorrow night." Seonghwa got up. "Shouldn't we wait a little longer? The Queen will become suspicious of your highness who haven't spared a night with her." The King agreed waiting for another week before going. That night has come, Yunho had changed into new clothes to not stand out. Seonghwa and him walked into the room making sure no one was around before fully entering. Seonghwa removed the paper wall, the blood was no longer there. "We were too late, the blood is now gone." Yunho sighed. "They are getting rid of all evidence. Is there any reports of Y/N in the main village?" Seonghwa shook his head. "In order for them to not suspect anything, stay away from me from now on. I want you to look for her in the other nearby villages, report back to me on the full moon at the famous flower tree." Seonghwa nodded before leaving the room. Yunho sighed before leaving too. Behind the hidden wall stood a man who heard the whole conversation. He rushed back to the Queen's room to report to her.

"Is that so?" The Queen said bringing her drink to her mouth before taking a sip calmly. "The King is smarter than I thought. Find her body, we will now need to burn her to ashes so they will never find out." The male who sat ahead of her nodded before leaving the room. "I should go visit the King tomorrow then." The Queen laughed setting the cup of tea on the table for the maid to pour more.

"Buy Subak(watermelon) here, very cheap!" Mingi and San said attracting villagers. "Nice and fresh." You laugh at how hard they were trying. An old women had ask San and Mingi to help her sell her watermelons because they were too heavy for her to carry. "Can I get just one?" A young lady said making eye contact with San while making sure he saw her beauty. "Sure that would be one mun(Korean old money)." The girl smiled handing San the money. "I don't think I can carry the watermelon alone, it is too heavy." The girl said pouting. You got up grabbing the watermelon knowing what she was doing. "I can help you bring it your house." Her smiled disappeared as soon as she saw you. "Ah n-no thanks." She grabbed the watermelon walking away making you laugh. "Woah, you guys amaze me. Tons of young girls is gathering just for you two." San crossed his arms shaking his head. "You amaze me more you know? What kind of girl does heavy lifting like it is nothing." You set more watermelons on the table. "It is not hard at all very light." Mingi came back with a cart filled of watermelon. "OK! Time to sell these all." Mingi got between you two winking at girls who walked by.
"Ah this is tiring." San said sitting down on the ground making Mingi do the same. "Finally sold all the watermelon. I just want to sleep now" Mingi said wiping his sweat you sat between the two fanning yourself with your hands. "Excuse me?" San got up walking closer to the young girl who grab a cloth handing it to San who was confused. "This is for you, you must be tired so here is a cloth to wipe your sweat." San gladly took it. "Thank you so much for this." The girl blushed walking away with her maid. "Here." San threw the cloth over to Mingi. "Why, is something wrong?" Mingi ask. "Nothing is wrong, I just don't want it." The old women came back. "Thank your guys so much for helping me sell these watermelons." You all got up bowing to her. "It is nothing much, we had a lot of fun. "You said smiling at her who looked worried. "You guys must be tired, here is the money I owe you guys." She handed you each money. "We can't accept this, we volunteered without money. Take it back." Mingi said handing her the money. "Keep it, it will make me guilty. Thank you for helping me again." The women then left taking her cart." You three gave each others look before smiling. "Should we go get some drink?" Mingi ask making you nod. "Last one there has to pay." San said making you guys run.
You poured another cup of alcohol for yourself before drinking it all in one go. Mingi had already passed out from drinking too much, San watches as you struggle to pour more as you were already drunk. "You both sure had fun." San laugh removing the cup from your hand. "Enough." You whined laying on Mingi. "One m-more please." The to stay room you guys all paid for smelt like alcohol. Stepping out of the room going outside San sighed smelling the fresh air. "Here alone?" Turning towards the voice San saw the same women from before when he sold watermelon. "You are here too?" She nodded sitting next to San. "I work here, do you want me to pour drinks for you? I will serve you for free." San shook his head. "I am here with my two friend, they are black out so I would have to take care of them." She bit her lips. "My name is Suan, I haven't properly greeted myself yet."
"My name is San." Suan intertwined her hands together. "Are you and that women close?" San smiled thinking of you who was probably all over the place right now. "We are." "Ah, do you like her?" San was flustered by the sudden question, he didn't know if he did or not. "I-I don't know, maybe not now but in the future." San was even shock at his own response. "Ah, I will like to get close to her. She doesn't seem much like the other girls I know, I want to be her friend. Can you tell me her name?"
'Was she only using me to get close to Cheonsa?' San scoff making Suan confuse. "Cheonsa is her name, now I will get going now. See you next time." San left going back to the room seeing your legs on top of Mingi. "They sleep like wild animals." San said to himself before putting blankets on top of you and Mingi laying next to Mingi.
