Royal Marriage [Jikook]

6.

JIMIN'S POV

They say Time and tide waits for none. Now I understood what that means. Here I thought one week is very long and I will get to spend more time with everyone. But nope, the time flew away in a blink of eye to prove me wrong.

The royals and some noble people of EVANDER arrived yesterday. I am not allowed to see them until the ceremony which will be held in few hours, it's not like I am desperate to meet them. I don't hate him or anything like that, I am just so overwhelmed. I was informed that I must leave just after the marriage along with my soon to be in-laws, so we can reach their kingdom before it's dark. My luggage is packed and all set to go.

So here I am in my bathroom. I finished taking bath a long time ago, I just don't want to go out. I was thinking how my life became a mess in such a short span. Just yesterday, we were happily celebrating about Jin hyung conceiving. I felt a liquid flowing down my cheeks. I didn't stop them. I was starting at nothing as my tears flowed down.

I flinched when I heard a soft knock on the bathroom door. I hurriedly wiped away my tears. "Yes?" I said, trying to sound as normal as possible.

"Minnie....it's me Jinnie hyung. Are you done baby?" Hyung asked softly. His voice is enough to break me down. But no, I am not going to let him down. I need to be strong. I took deep breaths before replying.

"Yes hyung, just a minute." I said.

"OK." With that said, I heard him back away.

I sighed as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Eyes red, cheeks in deep pink shade, runny nose.....anyone can tell just with one look that I was crying badly. I sighed again trying not to cry. I washed my face and took deep breaths which always calms me down.

I wore my normal dress and went out into the room. I saw jin hyung sitting on my bed, he was looking at the ground. I know he is trying not to cry. I can't let him get more stressed than he already is, the baby will be effected too. I went to him and placed my hands on his shoulders, which made him look up. His eyes were glistening with tears. I tried my best to not to cry.

I was interrupted by a knock on my door. I replied with a small come in. It opened revealing joonie hyung. When he saw our faces he quickly understood the situation. He shut the door and made his way towards us. He sat on the bed beside jin hyung, while taking his hand and squeezing it. I kneeled down before them as they looked at me.

"Hyungie......do you want to bid me goodbye while crying? Do you want me to go with guilt, eating me that I made you all cry? Hmmmm?" I asked as soft as I can.

They shook their heads, while jin hyung tightly shut his eyes. A sob escaped his lips. I quickly hugged him, he was fast to hug me back, squeezing me. I took deep breaths. I am determined to make this marriage go smoothly. I don't want this to be a crying mess.

"Hyung.....look at me." I said as they looked at me. I looked in their eyes "You all taught me how to be brave. You taught me what's life really is. You always stood by my side whenever I needed you, helped me get through everything.Now..... I need all the support and love that I can get from you all. But..but if you are like this then who are going to help me, help Appa and eomma to get through this? Are you gong to leave me alone....alone in this mess to suffer? Am I alone in this? Are you abandoning me when I need you the most?" By the end, the barrier brokeo and tears made their way out of my eyes. I am wiping away the tears, but they are not stopping. I began sobbing still wiping the fresh tears. More painful cries left my mouth. I was pulled into a hug by the both of the elders. They were rubbing circles on my back.

"I am sorry minnie....I am sorry. I failed to protect you. I am sorry. Please forgive me" Joonie hyung said while tightly holding me. I shook my head vigorously.
