Lie (PJM x reader)

Chapter Two

"Please! Please, spare my brother!" She begged as tears fell from her eyes. "I beg you! You can do whatever you like but please don't hurt him."

Taehyung stood there. Frozen. He was anticipating Jimin's next move. He didn't trust the prince one bit. He could cut up Y/n and Jungkook right now if he wanted to.

The fury in Jimin's eyes died down when he set eyes on Y/n. It was like the tears in her eyes quenched the fire burning in his. He slowly lowered his sword as he stared into her eyes. He felt like he was under a spell. He wanted to push her aside and behead her brother but he had...

...mercy.

Y/n could see that he calmed down a bit. So she gently helped Jungkook, who was still visibly trembling, get up from the floor. He wanted to scold his sister for interrupting even though he told her not to. But he was thankful she did. Or else his head would have been on the floor.

Jimin's eyes lingered on Y/n. He stared at her so longingly. It's not like he hasn't seen a woman before. Many women would love to spend the night with him. In fact, he was so used to women literally throwing themselves at him. They feared him but who doesn't like a bad and naughty boy? But he felt drawn to Y/n. It was different. When their gazes locked, he had this funny feeling. He couldn't explain it. But he felt like he needed her presence.

He needed to see her often.

He wanted to see her often.

And whatever he wants he gets.

"You can take the farm...if you spare his life...your highness." Y/n said hesitantly. Her gaze was locked with the ground. She was afraid to look at him.

"No." The brown haired Prince said bluntly.

Everyone's eyes widened at his words. He was literally about to behead a boy because of it, now he doesn't want it.

"No?" Y/n repeated.

"I want something else." The prince placed his sword back in it's rightful place and looked up at the duo in front of him. "I want you." He smiled at her while her eyes widened in surprise.

"Me?" She questioned with unsure emotions. He nodded his head.

"Think of it as a way of paying up your taxes that you owe. You will stay with me in the palace for a month. When a month is over, you may leave. That way, you complete your payment and you keep your farm. It's a win win situation if you ask me." The prince replied theoretically.

Jungkook was shaking his head while Y/n held onto him. He didn't want her to go. He's supposed to take care of her. He is her older brother, it's his duty.

Y/n thought about what Jimin said. It was actually a win win situation. And Jungkook will only have to care for himself for a month. Therefore, less mouths to feed. She glanced at Taehyung, who wore an expressionless face.

If she agrees to this, their taxes would be paid off and they'll be able to keep their family's farm. It's an offer she can't refuse.

She met eyes with her brother, who was already shaking his head, knowing what his little sister must be thinking. She gave him a small smile, before looking up at the crowned prince, who looked down at her with a blank expression.

"If it pleases your majesty," She started, eyes now cast to the floor. "I'll stay." She whispered.

"No!" Jungkook quickly took hold of his sister's shoulders and turned her to face him. "You don't have to do this. I'll find a way to pay the money. I....I can look for two more jobs to do, to add to the profit we make from the farm. I can borrow some money, I'm sure somebody will lend me some...."
