Jisungs POV
It was late at night, I had finnished for today . And I should technically be trying to sleep right now, but I just couldn't.
So instead I laid on a bench in the courtyard looking up at the night sky and all of the beautiful twinkling stars .
I wondered if my ancestors were proud of my decision, leaving my family for this..... but it was for my family, to help them. I may have hated that life , but I still loved my parents. I already missed them.
My hand found it's way to my chest above where my heart was, it was beating fast
" calm down" I told myself "this is for them.... you cant panic...if you have a panic attack, you are gonna get fired and executed then who will they get their money from. You can do this ji" but my heart didn't stop beating fast
Did I make a mistake coming here? I thought to myself , I cant leave..... I'll be killed.
" this was a bad idea" I groaned "i could've worked at the local bakery.....why do I do this to myself "
My heart rate increased as I realized the true severity of the situation I was in
I pulled myself up and off of the bench, I started walking through the halls of the large castle.
My breath was caught in my throat as tears threatened to spill from my eyes and down my chubby cheeks.
" calm down" I stopped in the middle of the hall, I clutched my chest . Hoping to got my lungs would start working again soon, my entire chest was burning.
I suddenly dropped onto my hands and knees.
I kept one hand on my chest as the other kept me from falling on the ground as I shook and choked for air.
What had I gotten myself into?!
I coughed and spluttered, begging my lungs to let some air in.
" jisung!" Someone yelled , I didn't dare look up
I let my other hand drop down to the ground holding me stable

I recognised his long ginger hair, it was jisung for sure. Something was wrong....seriously wrong.
I dropped to the ground beside him, he was gasping for air.
" jisung! What happened?" I asked worryingly
"I-I cant do this" he choked out , tears spilling down his face rapidly
I rubbed his back in a circular motion " cant do what? " I questioned
" work here I made a mistake I'm sorry " he cried " I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry "
My heart ached " you cant just quit....you know what would happen , and I'd hate to have that happen to you. "
" I know " he sobbed " I miss my family m-my parents "
" I understand that " I sighed "sit up for me, please?"
He simply nodded and sat up, I wiped the tears that were streaming down his cheeks
I sighed and took his hands "everyone feels like this in the beginning " I ran my thumbs over his knuckles comfortingly "but I promise it will get better for you, and when it does.... there will be more money for you and your parents."
" I dont even care about money anymore " he squeezed his eyes shut making more tears fall " it's only day one and I've already had a panic attack. I'm a lost cause, just execute me already "
My eyes widened " han jisung, I'm going to do everything in my power to make it so you can see your parents. " I cupped his cheek " I'm not having anyone who works here asking for that..... it hurts me to see people in pain"
His eyes softened
We soon noticed the position we were in and both blushed, I pulled my hand away .
" thank you" he bit his bottom lip, which was quivering madly
I stood up, holding my hand out to him. He took it and stood up
" I should probably get to bed now" he sniffled " thank you your majesty"
" hyunjin " I corrected with a smile, he was adorable
" sorry yo-- hyunjin " he replied then scurried off to his dorm.
I began to storm down to my parents chamber. He was going to see his parents if it was the last thing I do.
" mother! Father!" I swung the door open they looked up at me with confusion
" yes dear?" Said mother
" I'm making my debut to the public."
