Lie (PJM x reader)

Chapter Nineteen

Jimin's heart seemed to slow down as he saw the expression on her face while falling into the ice cold lake. Her eyes closed as if she was willingly accepting death.

For a few seconds, he was in a state of shock. His body refused to move even though he wanted it to. He just stood there with wide eyes, staring at the lake which she fell in. All of a sudden, he threw his cloak on the ground and leaped into the water.

The low temperature of the lake hit him hard as it was so cold but he did not care. He grabbed y/n's hand and pulled her out of the lake with ease. "Please open your eyes." He whispered to her gently, placing her head on his lap. He felt his chest burn slightly as he stared at her shivering form. Her chest was still going up and down in a steady pace but he was still extremely worried for her. Her (h/l) (h/c) hair was sticking to her forehead and all her clothes were soaking wet. The arrow was still planted in her shoulder but Jimin was too scared to touch it. He did not want to hurt her more.

Suddenly, there was a movement in the bushes and a curly black haired male rushed to the scene. He stared at the duo in disbelief, wondering how all of this happened, before rushing to help. His eyes landed on y/n first. Though she was on the brink of death, she still looked ethereal to him.

"Taehyung!" Jimin cried sadly, his eyes glassy as he continued, "Please help, she is not opening her eyes."

"I promise that everything will be fine, your Highness." Taehyung said to him reassuringly. He was also afraid but did not want to show it. "We have to take her back to the Palace first."

The brown haired prince nodded his head swiftly and picked up y/n bridal style before they rushed away from the Festival. They already knew it would take a while to get to the Palace on foot, so they had to get a horse from a nearby stable. Taehyung went in to request for one while Jimin stayed out of sight with y/n cradled in his arms. He kissed her forehead lightly and whispered, "I will not let you die. You have my word."

They mounted on the horse and made their way back to the palace. Taehyung guided the horse through the forest while the Prince of Grogia held y/n tightly in his arms. She was still shivering due to the cold and her lips were already turning white.

After a few worrisome minutes, the trio made it back to the Palace. Jimin jumped off the horse and rushed into the grand castle with y/n in his arms. Tears were threatening to spill but he held them back to hold his image.

The guards at the gates were shocked to see him but immediately opened the gates when they saw the Prince carrying y/n with such urgency. The brown haired prince did not waste any time. He ran all the way to y/n's bedroom as he yelled for his servants and most trusted advisor, "Yeji!!! Namjoon!!! Wendy!! Where are you?!"

As he carefully laid her down on the bed, the three girls rushed in. They all let out loud gasps when their eyes landed on y/n. Yeji looked away in fear. It was the first time she was seeing someone injured like this. While Jisoo and Wendy sprung into action.

Jisoo rushed forward and checked her temperature with the back of her hand. She was freezing! "Yeji! Go get me a bowl of hot water and a towel!" When she heard those orders, she ran out of the room. She could not bear seeing that sight anymore. "Wendy, go fetch the royal physician." The brown eyed girl nodded shortly and rushed out of the room.

The motherly side of Jisoo was in agony for y/n. She could only imagine the pain she must be going through.

Jimin was still watching everything while biting his nails in worry. His heart was racing wildly. He could not help but be worried for her. The arrow was still planted in her shoulder and it was looking as if it was becoming a part of her. Jimin shivered at the thought.
