An Eternity of Love

Perennial

Many years ago there was an empire which had three divisions "Korean Three Kingdoms (Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla)" The king of Baekje was wang Seo-jun. He and his queen were happily married with their only child, the crown prince Taehyung. But one day their whole lives changed.

Wang of Baekje Seo-jun was an only child, Prince taehyung, and after his father's and mother's death at a very young age, he had to manage the entire empire.
Although tae grew up with everyone's love, but still there was a deep loneliness in his life. When he returned to his palace room at night after doing his work and responsibilities all day! Then he would no longer be the wang of the entire Baekje kingdom.
He would cover his face between his knees like a small child and cry for his unbearable life.
He used to stare at the moon in the sky with tears in his eyes. And this is how he used to fall asleep.
Tae spent his whole life like this, he had three close friends.
Goguryeo Crown Prince Jungkook, Silla Crown Prince Jimin and His minister's son Namjoon. Namjoon was a bit older than the other three. So the others all admired and loved their namjoon hyung.

He had to marry for his kingdom, but he could never love his queen. So even after a long married life they did not live together. But even if there is no love, he fulfills all his responsibilities and duties faithfully. On the first night of his marriage, he told his queen that he could not be with her, but he also gave another promise that he would never bring anyone else into his life except his queen, and he would never have a concubine. And he was kept his promise. He did not look to anyone but his queen, in fact he spent all the time he had in solitude after taking charge of his kingdom. Ari and taehyung befriended each other over time, since they were very young at the time of their marriage. But with time Ari starts loving her king but Tae has never thought of anything but a friend. Their lives were spent like this, one would try to come closer. Others kept a careful distance.

Tae didn't know that there was going to be a storm in his life that would turn his whole life upside down. Which will question all the decisions of his whole life. Will force himself to question, who is he actually?
Which will make him change all his thoughts, consideration, normative.
Which will force him to break the strong wall built around him and come out. Tae did not know that such a day would come in his life.
After a long black night, that storm will bring the light of his life like a new dawn.
Just as a bright morning comes after a deep dark night, Morning will come in Taehyung's life.

Taehyungs pov :

He is not feeling well since this morning. It has been raining all day. When it rains, he feels very alone. He looks at the thick clouds outside and takes a deep breath. Then he comes to his bedroom and closes the door. Go to the bathroom but when he returns to his bed and sees the sight he sees, he is surprised and a little irritated.

He saw his queen lying on that bed half naked, with her long, silky parting hair. her half face covering with her hair. A very thin dress that was open from her shoulders, revealing her cleavage. With a lustful smile on her face that any man or woman could see, can kill themselves. Ari indeed beautiful and attractive women. But Taehyung doesn't have any feelings for her, except friendly love. It's not that he didn't try, but he just couldn't convince himself for anything.
Letting out a deep sigh, he walked over to his closet and brought out a blanket and wrapped it around her. Then sit next to her and look away and say as softly as possible.

-- Ari!

Ari knows what will happen next, she sits with some restraint and just hummms a little.

-- Am I doing something wrong?

-- No.

-- So why are you behaving like this? Did someone tell you something in my name?

-- No.

-- Then why? Is my friendship not enough? my promise not enough? I have never stopped you from doing anything. I always respect our relationship. I respect you. Is it right to have cohabitation with you without loving you?

A deep silence enveloped the entire room, and after some time a muffled sob was heard.

-- Tae, I want a child of ours. everyone in the palace thinks I am not capable of giving you children. The advisers are discussing if this goes on, you will have to marry again or you will be dethroned. I don't want any of these.

-- Hey! hey look here, you believe me right? I know whats going on, and I know we have to think about our child one day. But I never want our child to come into this world just to hold a kingdom or a throne, so don't belittle yourself like that. Okay? Now promise me!

-- I will Tae.

Taehyung says suddenly getting a little serious,
-- Speaking of Kingdom! If my kingdom is really gone, will you keep this friendship? Or if I had not been king, would you have been imprisoned so long in this loveless marriage?

Ari a little panicked and said

-- N..n..no.

-- No?

-- No! I mean yes, I would have. But would you really give up the throne?

-- Relax I was just kidding with you, now go to your palace. I will also sleep, and I am going to ally kingdom Silla. On Chim's invitation. And when I'm came back from there, we will discuss baby matters. Okay!? Good night Ari.

-- Good night tae.

As she leaves the room, Taehyung runs his hands through his hair in frustration. And lets out a deep sigh, thinking to himself that he's afraid he's been in a loveless relationship for so long, now he has to! because the people of his kingdom love him blindly. So he can't harm so many people thinking of his own well-being. And he won't break his promise to Ari.

But if Taehyung knew that all his thoughts would change once and for all in these months.
