Forbidden Love

005

Once I reach home, I opened the door to my house and stepped inside. No one was home yet. Today Seyeon has extra classes. I walked to my bedroom and suddenly Taehyung's voice appeared in my head.

"Yeon, there's something really wrong in the Underworld. I need to go there right away. I can teleport there, but you can't. But you can make a portal there, just imagine a blue-ish and purple portal and it will appear." He said, his voice is full of panic unlike his normal voice which is calm.

I did what he instructed. The portal appeared instantly. I hesistantly stepped inside. Why should I even join him? Can't he go alone? Well, maybe there's a reason for it. Once I stepped inside, the setting changed 100%.

The place was all black and dark with mysterious red dust flowing everywhere. There were buildings on fire and people running here and there. This was not what I imagined it would look like. This place is destroyed. It must be Sunha. I found Taehyung looking, rather staring, at the destroyed buildings. I bet he was thinking the same thing as I am. I ran to him and patted his shoulder.

He jerked, surprised. He relaxed as soon as he saw it was me. There was something in his eyes that made me want to stare at it forever. I shook my head.

"Yeon, lets go meet the queen. I bet you want to see how beautiful she is. You look a little like her though. Well, maybe it's just my feelings." He shrugged and led me to the palace.

Once I reached there, my mouth was wide open. The palace was huge. We walked inside and my eyes felt like its going to fall out. Inside the palace was all elegant, antique things all over.

Well, I mean statues, paintings or like vases full of flowers. I stared in awe as I followed Taehyung in the queens chamber. We walked to a door that has a sign saying 'QUEEN'S CHAMBER' in all capitals enbroided on it. Taehyung pushed open the grand doors and we went inside. I looked at my surroundings. The tiles are all made up of marble. It has a high ceiling with a big light chain in the middle.

"Hello Taehyung. I see that you've brought someone with you today." The queen said. Her voice was so familiar. I just heard her voice since I was too busy admiring my surroundings. I finally looked up and almost fainted.

"Mom?!" I almost shouted. I couldn't believe my own eyes.

"Yes, Hayeon. I'm the good queen." She smiled warmly at me. I walked up to her and hugged her. She was using a beautiful, gorgeous gown. She was also using a tiara.

"So this is the 'work' you're talking about mom?" I asked sarcastically while smiling.

She chuckled. "Yes, Hayeon. Ruling this world is hard you know, especially since Sunha has decided to show up." She sighed. She walked over to her throne.

"Taehyung, can you please show her around the palace? I need to be alone now." She said to Taehyung and he nodded.

"Let's go Hayeon." I nodded and followed him out. "So, can you tell me what's your...you know...job here? Like what do you do?" I started off the converstation since its getting a little awkward.

"Well, I'm just practically working for the queen. Like you know the assistant? Yea something like that." He shrugged and put his hand in his pockets.

As we walked, nobody started a conversation. We just walked in silence, not awkward silence but comfortable silence. Suddenly we heard a scream. Taehyung's eyes widened and he froze on the spot. He turned around and sprinted to the queen's chamber. I followed him.

Once I reached there I saw Taehyung, frozen on his spot, mom, lying on the floor and another woman I never saw before. She looked alot like my mom. But her features are sharper which makes her look a little creepy. She turned to look at me.

"Well well, look who have we got here? A petty little girl and a small little boy." She smirked.

I glared at her and turned to look at mom. Her body looks lifeless. I stood frozen at my spot. It took awhile to process everything. I ran to my mom's body and knelt down. Tears started streaming down my face. I turned to the woman.

"Who are you?! How dare you kill the queen?" I shouted at her.

"Hmmm? You don't know who I am?" She started off as she walked towards my direction as her heels clatter on the marble floor. She traced her finger on the line of my cheek.

"I'm Sunha, your new queen dear." She said while chuckling. I felt a shot of electricity as she traced her fingers. I shivered.

Sunha? Isn't she the evil queen? I looked at my mom's body, she looks so pale and lifeless. I placed my fingers to her neck to take her pulse, but I don't feel any. I panicked. Tears that have dried up was again replaced by new tears.

I looked at Taehyung, he was staring blankly at mom, I turned to Sunha, "You...killed..h-her! Y-you monster! You...you...." I wanted to shout those words but only small chokes can be spoken out.

I heard her chuckle. Oh how hate it when she chuckle. "I know dear, that was all part of the plan you see. I'm going to use my demons force the humans there to obey me. If they don't they're going to be hunted and to recieve a punishment. So my first step is to kill Mirra. And now, as it is already done, everything will be easier." She ended her speech and topped it with an evil cackle. I looked at her full of anger.

"Don't you dare speak like that to me!!!" I shouted and I saw Sunha freeze on her spot. Her mouth was like sealed by an invisible tape. My eyes widened. Was this the power of words that Taehyung was talking about? I took deep breaths and she can finally move again.
