"Sumi don't you think your behavior is childish?" he spoke suddenly.

"Childish?! Just because we're engaged now doesn't mean I should be nice to you. You're not my type anyway." I said.

Sumi's pov:
Tomorrow is the day everyone is looking forward to.
Mine and Jungkook's wedding day!
To be honest, I'm a little nervous.
We have everything ready, the last preparations are done by the servants.
I have also met with Jungkook many times in the last few days, it was really nice with him.
But in his eyes I am still just a good friend.
I'm still glad that I'm getting along well with him now.
Suddenly someone knocked on my door, it was Eomoni who wanted to wake me up because there is breakfast in half an hour.
When she saw that I was already awake, she was surprised.
"Excited about tomorrow?" she asked.
I nodded.
She told me that I should be downstairs in half an hour.
In that time I got dressed and cleaned my room.
On the way to the dining room I strolled relaxed through the corridors.
Suddenly I felt an arm around my shoulder.
When I looked to the side, I saw Jungkook.
I smiled at him and said good morning.
He smiled back.
"Are you looking forward to tomorrow?" he asked me.
I nodded eagerly, which made him smile.
At breakfast, my father discussed all sorts of things with us about tomorrow.
"Sumi, dear, I want to have a little mother-daughter talk with you after breakfast!" my stepmother said suddenly.
I nodded in response, and my father smiled at my stepmother.
When Jungkook looked at me worriedly, I smiled at him to relieve his worry.
Suddenly, I felt someone kicking my feet.
Looking down, I saw that it was Jungkook's legs kicking me.
I had to laugh because there was some kind of fight between us.
When I looked at the others and realized that almost everyone was staring at us, we both automatically stopped.
After breakfast, I met with my stepmother as agreed.
We sat down in the room where we always meet.
"Although I am not your biological mother, you are like a daughter to me. I wanted to tell you that you can share all your worries with me, because I will always be there for you." she spoke.
I looked at her emotionlessly and tried to force a smile on my lips.
Suddenly she began to sob.
Why is she crying now?
"I know you never thought of me as your mother, but I really did my best to be one!" she said, sobbing.
"Well, I appreciate your offer, I will talk to you when I need your help" I said and patted her on the shoulder.
Suddenly she hugged me.
I didn't know she was so happy to get rid of me.
After the thing with my stepmother, I went to my room.
There I wrote down a few things I want to change when Jackson becomes king.
I've been keeping this list ever since I can remember.
I always write down everything that bothers me about this government.
Jackson had promised me, when he is the King, that he will change many things.
Time skip:
I strolled through the garden with Jackson.
He asked me what our stepmother wanted from me.
I just told him that she was doing drama again.
As always.
"What I wanted to ask you is the thing Father told me. Don't you think you'd better explain it to me?" I asked him.
"What do you mean, I have nothing to tell!" he said, his cheeks slightly flushed.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
He sighed.
"It's nothing special, I met a noblewoman from Itaewon and she seems quite nice" he explained.
I smiled at him, because I was glad he had found someone.
"What's her name?" I asked with interest.
"Her name is Minah," he said shyly.
Cute.
Evening:
Dinner was over and I was out for another hour with Jungkook.
But now that it was late, I wanted to go to sleep because tomorrow is the big day.
I want to be well rested.
I was just getting up from my desk when I found a note on the floor.
I looked around first, but I didn't see anyone hiding in my room.
I picked up the note and looked at it
For Sumi
Is it for me?
I opened the note and read it.
Meet me at the lake at half past ten.
Your J.
Was that a surprise from Jungkook?
But we have just met, what is this?
I quickly got ready.
I looked at the clock and saw that in ten minutes it was half past ten.
I walked with quiet steps down to the entrance.
I was careful that no one discovered me and sneaked out.
Outside I looked at my reflection in the lake, my face illuminated by the moon.
Where is he?
Suddenly I heard footsteps behind me.
I wanted to turn around, but I think Jungkook wants to scare me, so I pretended not to notice him.
In the reflection of the water, I suddenly saw a black leathery hand approaching my face.
I wrenched my eyes open and wanted to scream, but it didn't happen because that hand was covering my nose and mouth.
I couldn't breathe properly and tried to defend myself, but the person was just too strong.
I struggled with my legs, but it was useless.
Slowly I saw black dots in front of my eyes.
I smelled something strange, which made me dizzy.
Then the darkness caught up with me, from which I could not escape.
