43 - Another Threat

I followed Seokjin through the empty hallway. 

      'Who is it that wants to talk to me?' I asked Seokjin, trying to get a clue about the person that wanted to talk to me.

      'I don't know' Seokjin admitted, 'but the king told me to get you to this room because there was someone. ' he stopped walking and pointed at the door.

     'hmm I will leave you to it.' he said still with a hint of worry.

I opened the door carefully, I had no idea who I would be face to face to in a moment.

And to my surprise I was faced with the King. Initially that made me feel more at ease, during my walk here I was afraid that perhaps mother or father had come to cause more drama. However, that easiness soon disappeared as I saw the severity in the kings face, plus the fact that the king hadn't told Seokjin that he was meeting me was very suspicious. I was sure that something wasn't right.

     'Your highness' I greeted him while bowing.

As I looked up again I saw the king staring at me, it was an intense stare, one that made me feel uncomfortable as time passed but he didn't say anything.

     'You wanted to talk to me?'

He cleared his throat before stating the thing, the thing why I was here in this room

    'You need to break up with my son.'

I might have expected it was something bad that he wanted to say, but I guess I hadn't expected it to be his bad . I thought perhaps it was about my dad or my mom, and perhaps I needed to make a statement of some sorts.

It wasn't

It was the worst thing he could ask for.

I also didn't understand, after everything that had happened.

     'I- I thought you had accepted me being here?' I uttered out as I was stumped. 

The king shook his head

       'I tried to, I wasn't happy about it but to keep my wife happy I acted like I did. but with this information on your family coming out? A mother who is an alcoholic and a father who is openly rallying against the monarchy? This all adds up to the disaster that you are bringing into Jungkook's life.'

ouch, those words were very harsh. It took me a moment to regain myself, but I also knew that this time I wouldn't let him walk all over me. Not like at the previous ball.

     'but what my parents do has nothing to do with me, they haven't been a part of my life in years.'

The king was taken aback by the fact I spoke back to him. That I defended myself.

     'plus I love your son and he loves me.' I added

It was the truth, I did love Jungkook more than anything.

The king looked down, as if he really didn't want to say anything anymore, but soon his gaze was directed back to me

      'He might love you above all else now, but it won't be long until the media and thus the people will turn against him as well. It will be all because of you, and he will start to resent you for it.'

This time the tears started to form in my eyes, because this was actually one of my fears. One of my insecurities ever since my mothers disastrous interview. The fact the media came for me was bad enough but what would happen if Jungkook stayed by my side and they went after him?
