Lie (PJM x reader)

Chapter Twenty

Y/n stared out her window with a weird feeling in her chest. She did not know if it was anxiety or nervousness. After waking up from her unconscious state, the prince had taken good care of her. But it certainly did come as a shock when he said that he loved her.

The memories of the previous night was still fresh and was replaying in her mind:

"I love you, y/n." He whispered to her. He was so close to her face that his hot breath hit her upper lip, which made her face turn red. "I really do."

He leaned in but she turned her face away, making the prince's hands fall to his sides. She saw the disappointment flash in his eyes before she spoke up in a low voice, "Your Highness...it...I...what are you trying to say?" She was at a loss for words. Her brain could not fathom the right words.

Jimin grabbed her hands and held it to his chest so that she could feel his fast beating heart. "I never wanted to feel this way about you. When I first met you, I was mesmerized by your beauty and body. That was the only reason I took you away from your brother...because I wanted to sleep with you. It is way more than that now. I hated the fact that you never listened to me, I got jealous whenever I saw you around Taehyung and my heart beats fast whenever I am around you. At first, I thought it was because I saw you as my possession and wanted to lay with you but Namjoon told me it was love. I did not believe him. That is why I kissed you at the ball. I wanted to prove that it was just a temporary feeling, but I still feel the same way and it is not going away anytime soon."

She scanned his big brown teddy bear eyes before letting out a sigh. "Your highne..."

He quickly got up from her bed and kept his eyes on the ground. "I will give you some time to think about it, lady y/n." He said with a weak smile. "I do not want to force you into something you do not want to do. Think about it. I will be heading to Frelk in two days to attend Prince Yoongi's coronation. Please give me a reply before then."

With that said, he strolled out of the room, dropping the bowl of rice on the food cart.

Two days had already passed by and she still had not given him an answer. He had also been giving her space but checked up on her from time to time.
She wanted to be sure of it but the prince was leaving for Frelk tonight. But her mind was still in a twist on the whole idea of love. The only person she has ever had romantic feelings for is Taehyung, but now she is not so sure about it. Her eyes stared at the clouds moving in the sky and the cold breeze nipped at her skin even though she was wrapped in a blanket. It was certainly going to snow later.

She ran her hands through her hair in frustration. "Why is this so confusing?"

"May I know what is causing this confusion?" A male voice said to her calmly. She looked up to see Taehyung giving her a light smile. He had a teacup in his right hand filled with a brown liquid. "The doctor asked me to give you this. She says it will make you feel better."

"Thank you Taehyung." She smiled at him as he took a seat beside the female. They were both silent before the curly black haired male spoke up.

"Do you want to explain what happened?"

Y/n sipped the tea lightly, the heat filling up her chest made her feel warm, before letting out a sigh, "He...the prince told me that he loved me two nights ago..." The male was still quiet, his face void of any emotion. He was indirectly telling her to continue, "He said that I should tell him my reply in three days. Taehyung, I am so confused. I do not know what I feel for him."

He hummed in response and watched the clouds cover the sun. Taehyung did like y/n, but Jimin needed her in his life. And it was obvious to see what she felt for the prince. "Do you smile when you see him?"
