Princess Overnight

22.

The Min couple had left the castle after the grand meal. But not before inviting the royal family of Whisteria to Yoongi's coronation ceremony and Jungkook and Elena to the after party which was with just his close friends.

As yet another day passed the young princess was trying more and more to adapt to her new reality since as much as she tried to avoid thinking about it , the fact that she was basically living kind of a lie was bothering her alot. Elena knew Jungkook would never see her as anything more than some one who he is forced to marry and his hyung's sister. The only reason he is trying to be friends is because well 1 they will have to live together , and 2 she was Namjoon's and Taehyung's sister. And his affection towards her would never go more than a moment of lust or a relief to when either of them are horny . And that saddened her cause she was actually hoping to work the relationship out since Jungkook did seem to warm up to her. But seeing Jungkook's response she knew it won't be possible for a while atleast or maybe never. But in everyone else's eyes they were a loving couple

It was yet another afternoon and Elena was in the library as usual and she had been there for a while now,  only went out for lunch. Everyone in the castle wondered why the young princess would be so much interested in reading , that she always spends her free time in the library. Even Elena herself wondered why she always found herself going to the library. Yes she liked reading even when she was back on earth or while she was living in Florenza but not to this level. But somewhere deep down she knew the answer too. She knew all the stories of the loving Nd powerful couples fron all the fantasy stories and romance novels provided an escape for her from the harsh reality that she would be soon stuck in a loveless marriage . Or a one-sided love marriage .

Elena was quite immersed into the book she was reading when the sudden opening of the library door alerted her

El: whose there ?

Jh: it's me Hoseok my princess and looks like I was right with my instinct to come here to look for you.

El: ah Hoseok. Good afternoon and no surprise finding me here Hoseok ssi , it's almost like I'm here 24/7 . Even I dint know why though like why I'm so attracted to spending my time away from other reading in this large but comforting library.

Jh: maybe because just like you said this library and the books or contain are quite comforting.

El: hmm maybe. By the way what brought you here ?

Jh: oh ya about that yuqi is coming back from her homeland today and she was hoping if you would be free to go for  horse riding later. She mentioned wanting to get to know you better since she is very fond of Jungkook and also she is excited about finally having another girl around her age to converse with .

El: sure I'd love that. Pls do tell her the same.
