"Are you sure this will work?"

"Nope" 

Bina, her mother, the brothers and I all stood in front of the guarded gates of the palace. I swallowed my nerves, rubbing my sweaty palms down my dress straightening it up. After Bin had visited our house we tried to make an appointment to see Queen Bora but there wasn't any for months. Thankfully, since Bina was her sister she managed to squeeze us in a week later. 

A week too long.

"Don't worry about anything. Bora's a big softy" Bina laughed heartily greeting the guards who scrutinised the brothers and I.

"Yeah and she's also Queen" Jay mumbled under his breath.

"Unfortunately there will have to be a routine security check before you'll be allowed in" Bina explained as a female guard led me into a room to search me. After everything was done to their satisfaction we were finally allowed to cross the gates into the palace gardens. 

"Keep close. I don't want you to get lost" Bina yelled from ahead walking towards the front gates which were also guarded by two men.

"Hi Raven" Bina greeted walking through the door with us following close behind.

"Right. If you take a seat here I can go and grab Bora for you" Bina's mother clapped her hands motioning for us to sit which we did ever so hesitantly. Everything was so expensive. I sat up straighter when I heard voices down the hall before Bina's mother appeared once again with a woman with striking similar features to her own.

"Your highness" A beaming Bina stood up with courtesy.

"Your highness" I followed her lead. Queen Bora stared at me for a second before pulling Bina into a hug. After releasing her, she turns to face the brothers.

"Your highness" the brothers bowed respectfully.

"How may I be of help?" Queen Bora asked sitting down motioning us to do the same. All eyes were on me. My eyes snapped shut as I tried to control my breathing.

Do it for Heeseung. Do it for Heeseung. Do it for Heeseung.

I sighed, "It's a long story". Queen Bora just raised her eyebrows.

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" Queen Bora asked once had finished telling her everything. From start to finish.

"You don't". Bora sighed looking at her mother who had her fists clenched by her sides.

"She's not lying." Bina's mother looked at her daughter with an expression that could only be read as raw pain. 

"Just trust me. All I want is a chance." I begged.

"The only reason I am going to be helping you is because my mom believes you. And if she believes you, so do I." Queen Bora stood up and we followed lead.

"And if what you are saying is true then I want those animals rotting in a prison cell." Queen Bora left the room leaving us enveloped in silence. 

"Thank you so much" I whispered looking at Bina's mother.

"Don't be. If you need anything then give me a ring. Don't let my age fool you, I can still kick-ass if needs be" she winked. A few minutes later Queen Bora walked back into the room holding a red envelope. 

"Give this at the station holding Heeseung" I eyed the bronze wax seal on the envelope before thanking the queen with a courtesy.

"Where the hell did you get this?" Officer June exclaimed once we had handed her the envelope. 

"We'll explain later. Can we just please go get Heeseung" Jay brushed her off running into the car.

"This is amazing" Officer June laughed out loud as we made our way down the familiar streets. I finally felt like I could breathe again, the guilt falling off my shoulders. As soon as the car was parked up the four of us ran inside and towards the main desk.

"There is no way..." The officers southern voice trailed off as he opened the envelope and read its content. After re-reading it three times he clenched his fists moving off his desk and towards Heeseung's cell, opening up the gate allowing him to step out.

"What the hell did they do to you?" Jake growled as he took in Heeseung's appearance.

"Nothing I didn't reciprocate" Heeseung winked. His busted lip and swollen cheekbone could be seen from a mile away.

"Come on" Jay and Jake each grabbed a hold of Heeseung he limped towards me.

"How'd you get me out" He questioned looking at them. Neither on them replied. Heeseung sighed looking around the reception until his eyes found me.

"Hi, beautiful. Miss me?" he grinned. I shook my head at him, running at him before throwing my arms around his neck pulling him closer.

"Let's go home" he whispered into my ear but didn't make a move to pull away and neither did I.

"Guys, how about we get home and then you can hug it out all you want?" Jake spoke up from beside us. 

"Lets. God, I need to shower" Heeseung groaned limping to the car taking a seat in the back.

"I'll be back in a second" I ran back to where we came from trying to find the face I was looking for.

"Officer June" I yelled out once I spotted her. Turning around once her name was called he smiled down at me as I approached her.

"What's up, kiddo?" 

"Thank you" I said sincerely.

"You're welcome. Now go before lover boy marches back up in here" she laughed ruffling my hair in a motherly way. I grinned at her walking back to the car, sitting in the backseat next to Heeseung how instantly took my hand into his own, laying a kiss to my palm.

"I missed you so much." he whispered against my palm.

"I missed you too"
