CURSED : The Blue Eyed Maiden [ BTS FF ]

Chapter 73

Author's POV

Mingi opened the door while Wooyoung ran to inform the housekeeper to get them some hot water and rag. Seonghwa rested the princess on his bed before looking at the people waiting for him out of the room. It was best to avoid crowding until the doctor checks up on her. He glanced at princess, she was drenched in cold sweat and was mumbling something in her sleep.

"My lady. . ." The former lady in waiting leaned against the door frame, worried. "What happened to her? Is she going to be fine? Where is the doctor?" she asked the men beside her worried.

"Sogum-ssi?" Jimin looked at Seonghwa and then at Sogum. "Can you take care of the princess while I talk to them for a moment?" Sogum shared glances before nodding.

"Alright. I will take care of her. Please let me know if the doctor comes." She rushed In the room and shut close the door. Seonghwa eyed Jimin before clearing his throat.

"How do you know her?" Jimin asked.

"We are acquaintances." Seonghwa said as he gestured Jimin to follow him somewhere comfortable where they can talk. Jimin glanced at the room and then nodded. "We know eachother for quite sometime."

"I see." Jimin gritted his teeth. "Thanks for helping her."

"It's fine. The doctor will be here soon." Seonghwa smiled and took a seat on the wooden chair. "Have a seat. May I know, how do you know the princess?" The younger asked as he watched Jimin take a seat infront of him.

"Han Kyung?" Jimin paused as he tilted his head slightly, his eyes sparkled with confidence, lips moving up to smirk. "She is someone close to me."

"Huh?"

Seonghwa raised a brow. Even though he knew about Jimin being in that era, but he had a slight idea of Ara and Jimin's relationship, he didn't expect the man to be so confident. He frowned, Jimin smiled softly, his eyes disappearing as he leaned forward to continue.

"I like her."

Hoseok 's POV

I groaned in pain as I landed on the ground with a thud. It has been years since I stepped out of the palace basement and riding a horse is out of question. I was 8 when I rode a horse last time. Yoongi did train me with sword and provided me books, but every skill needs practice, which was hard to do in the dark cell.

I laid on the green grass as I watched the horse walk around the woods, few steps away from me. I sighed and looked up at the blue sky. "How long did I manage to come?" I wondered out loud as I covered my face, breathing heavily.

I wasn't planning to run away but if Yoongi would tell my younger brother about my existence, he'll give up on his position and give it to me. I can't take his position; he is the heir and i...

I am just his shadow.

I am happy that he doesn't remember me at all. Is mother happy now? He is ruling this kingdom like she wanted, I guess mother really loved brother, so much that her last wish was for me to disappear from his life. Now, shall I disappear for real?

Why am I feeling so suffocated even when I am under this vast sky and surrounded by lush? Why my chest is feeling so heavy?

I got up breathing heavily, gripping on a handful of grasses, I looked around but my conscious was slowly fading. Was it too much for me? Travelling on that horse? No...may leaving that dark place...I have spent all my life there, now it's so hard... so hard to grasp that I am out. This wind is suffocating me, this vast sky is pressuring on my chest. Too heavy... It feels like I am about to die.
