Same room with the same people, and while his mother was crying at her son's bedside, Jeongkook wanted his answers.

"So this is my twin brother Jungkook?", he stated the obvious

"Yes..., I know everything that's going on right now is hard to swallow, but those who did this to your brother don't want him on the throne...", he turned his gaze from Sejeong to him,

"Hard to swallow? You don't find out every day that your father, whom you never saw, is an actual king, and you have a twin brother in a coma...", the indignation in his voice could be understood, it was clear that he wasn't happy to find out about the existence of his father

"Jeongkook, in time I will explain everything to you, now I need your help, the whole world needs...", he looked desperate, under other circumstances he would have hugged him and even begged for forgiveness, but now his duties required him to act firm, stoic and tough, although he wasn't doing great.

"What exactly do you want from me?", he didn't want to waste time, he prefers to talk the talk, getting straight to the point.

"Those who attacked your brother surely believe that they succeeded in killing him, what I need from you is to replace him..."

"Replace him?", of course, he understood what his father meant but he wanted some details, a clarification

"Yes, soon the ceremony dedicated to the Season of Rebirth will take place where the future king will be presented, and if Jungkook won't be there the Sages will have to appoint a successor from the next clan, you two are the only successors of the ruling clan Jeon..."

But Doyoung's answer, however, raised more questions and made him more confused.

"How would that be possible if I don't know half of the words you just said, plus how can you be so sure no one will notice the change?..."

Doyoung already thought about this, "We'll say you had a minor accident that affected your conduct, and memory, plus you won't be alone, you'll have help."

"Help?", They turned their heads at the sound of clinking heels and then the opening door. A young woman appeared in front of them.

"Yes, here she is... Jeongkook, let me introduce you to Park Chaeyoung, your brother's future wife and of course, the future queen...", the king presented her to him

"Your Highness!", she bowed respectfully and then looked at Jeongkook's frozen face, her mark burned a little but she ignored it since her soulmate was there on the bed fighting for his life.

"Chaeyoung, your punctuality is commendable as always...", he complimented her, "This is Jeongkook..."

"It's not hard to tell they look identical. I wonder if their tempers are the same...", she wondered

"Well, I can be gentle for you...", to everyone's surprise, he answered in a flirting way, Chaeyoung could swear that he was checking her out by the way he was looking at her.

She sighed, "We'll have a lot of work..."

Sejeong finally detached herself from Jungkook, she wanted to see her son's soulmate too. Chaeyoung is gorgeous and looks strong, as is typical for the Park clan.

Hearing Jeongkook's tone towards her, Sejeong hopes that her son won't be in trouble.

"What is the plan?", Sejeong approached them

"Concubine Kim", Chaeyoung greeted her, Sejeong hated the way she addressed her. She felt as if Chaeyoung is doing it on purpose.

To prevent any sort of quarrel, Doyoung proceeded to elaborate on the plan, "We will stage a discharge from the hospital, Chaeyoung will accompany him, and we will tell the press that while you were returning from your diplomatic trip, your car had a defect that caused an accident..., I am sure that those who have wanted Jungkook's death, they're confident they succeeded, seeing you they'll make moves and then we'll be able to track them..."
