RESILIENT [KOOKV]

three

Welcome 💜

Why now. Why does it take him this long to realize the world around him? ,The world around him that's different from typical world. How come he never, for once did notice the smile these people giving him from then till now were nothing but fake. How'd he even think those smiles meant something.

Fully understanding those smiles now , taehyung had all urge in the world to rip his own heart out of his chest to die from the pain of his stupidity. He was simply blinded , blinded by everyone's sweet fake acts.

And he almost ended each chapter only trying to please people who had never for once looked at him as part of them , he's simply the king's puppet. Their puppet.

They all smile at him because he was below them , they never had any reason to see a weakling like him as a threat. He's just simply occupying the Queen's seat, but now that he thinks about it , aside from attending events with the king, there's really nothing else to think of him as the Queen. Well, until yesterday, when he let his burning rage take over his actions.

Did taehyung regret his actions? Not yet , he's probably going to later but now. He'll just live.

He has been in the palace just breathing , he never ever thought about living his life. A chuckle left his throat when he remembered his ex-bestfriend once mentioned about how there's a difference between breathing and living.

Taehyung didn't know it'll take him a whole lunch with death to understand that he has only being breathing the moment he had set his foot into the palace , he never got a chance to live his life since.

The palace took everything away from him , his friends are not allowed to visit him and they all slowly fall out. They're nothing less than strangers now unless taehyung tell them otherwise, but did he have chance to? No.

While he was busy trying to be the perfect Queen to the man he loved, everything he cherishes slowly slips out of his hold and he's left with only his title as a queen but was the title even his to begin with?.

He really wants to know why his brain took this long to give him a reality check , maybe if this has happened earlier..... Just maybe if he had got involved in the accident earlier, maybe there might just still be someone around him.

Definitely not the people of the palace. Everything about them is fake and taehyung knows he's probably fake now too. This is not him.

A sigh escapes his throat as he heard the royal stylist announcing she's done styling his hair , the queen moved his gaze to the big mirror to admire his own beauty. He watch his previously blue hair now black.

Childish , yeah but this is very first step of living for himself. He had kept his blue hair since because the king liked it but now, he has a life to live, so he'd care less about what the king likes.

It's all about him from now on. He's the main character of his life.

Or is he?.

Rumors do fly fast, taehyung's acts in the throne room the last day become the biggest gossip in the palace. Other royal concubines couldn't believe the Queen they all know will do that , it's really an unbelievable situation. They can vividly remember taehyung never held any grudges against them, even tho they're literally sharing his husband with him , the boy seemed to understand the prize that comes with being married to a king.

But the sudden change of act leaves everyone in the palace baffled, they're left to only keep wondering until they see Taehyung face to face.

And when the said male finally steps out of his room late in the afternoon, the sudden change of his aura does make everyone hesitate to approach. Usually, he's the most approachable human in the palace. Everyone speaks to him as they please and he never really mind all that but looking at him now , it makes them feel like they need to pick their words before speaking to him.

His previously vibrant blue hair is now all dark curls falling slightly right above his eyelid, he was not wearing his usual elegant wears but rather a simple white shirt , he left the three first buttons open just to reveal the Pearl necklace sitting on his collarbone.

No heavy jewelries on him aside from the necklace, he didn't bother overdressing as he was just going to inform the king about something. So he settled for his favourite flip flop slippers that he had never made it out of his room since he moved into the palace. He feels happy for his slippers that was finally out of it's prison taehyung hope he'll be out of the prison too. Well , a wish is a wish.

"The king is currently having meeting with some foreign tourists, he said no one should disturb me" usually, whenever the king said he doesn't want to be disturbed. Taehyung will turn on his heels and let him be but everything in taehyung seem to be at the edge since he woke up, no one should disturb him? His Queen is also no one to him?.

"Open the door" it's an order , no space for argument was left for the guards who did as they were told instantly pushing the two big brown door open for taehyung.

Taehyung eyed the scene infront of him and the sudden urge to chuckle soar high in his throat do he did , breaking the not so holy moment that was currently occuring between a foreign lady and his king. If he didn't came in the moment, they'd have probably gotten each other naked in there or four seconds, and this is the foreigners tourists he was having a meeting with?.

A pain hits him invisibly when he remembers how many times he was turned back from visiting the king with the same pathetic excuse like today and he wonder how many of those lied we're truth, he wants to cry but held it in. He just watched as the lady scramble out of the room trying to adjust her dress , at least she recognized him?.

The silence in the room was heavy the weight of the pain taehyung's heart held at the moment, the king couldn't even meet his gaze so taehyung clears his throat. Looking at the positive side , this will only make his request easier. But definitely his heart pain felt heavier.

"I'll be visiting my friends tommorow, I already booked the private lounge at your hotel for us. You can send your guards with us but please don't reject , I haven't heard of them since I moved in here" he's begging the king , he knows the man hates the idea of him going out of the palace or even friends? He personally told him to cut ties with them since he's now a queen.

"You're just recovering tae" the sweet voice of the king came from the guilty he felt from what taehyung has just witness minutes ago , and taehyung mentally pay himself for understanding this king for the very first time.

"That's why I want a  fresh air and free my mind with my friends" taehyung doesn't even know maybe these people see him as friends anymore but earlier he has sent a text to their group chat which he was never kicked out for some reasons, he stopped being active ever since he entered the palace. He didn't bother reading what the guys had been discussing in the group, he just dropped his message and hope they'll show up.

He really hope.

The king took his time thinking about it , taehyung knows if he didn't catch him being irresponsible minutes ago , the man would've straight out rejected his request.

"Okay but take our high ranked guards with you" taehyung nods with a smile before bowing in respect to the king.

"Thank you my king"

Thank you for making the second step of living for myself successfully.

Taehyung doesn't know what's going to be the outcome tomorrow. But he does wish it turns out better than he expected. But a wish is still a wish.
