Hoseok and I quickly pulled away and I gracefully stood up, Hoseok followed. "Salutations, His Royal Highness Prince Jungkook the Second." I added and we bowed. Jungkook lips lifted in a fake smile as his eyes grew bigger. "A delightful morning to you to both. I sincerely hope that my presence did not ruin your beautiful date." Jungkook grumbled with a wide smile. Chills ran down the both of us but then I realized I am not obliged to be afraid of him. I stood straight trying to appear larger and smiled proudly. "Your assurance is appreciated, Second Prince Jungkook. Might I inquire about the reason for your current presence?" I asked politely. Hoseok looked at me slightly confused but got back to smiling. 

"There exists no particular occasion. My inclination was to share moments in your company, Lady Sung-min."  Jungkook added with a small smirk shocking me at his bold words. He just openly and honestly spoke that he wanted to spend time with me. I gulped slightly. I looked at Hoseok wondering how to react but Hoseok spoke, "I shall take my leave, entrusting Lady Sung-Min to your care. Prince Jungkook." He added with a smile and respectfully bowed down. My eyes widened at Hoseok who began walking. "Hoseok!" I called out shocking Jungkook. "...Sir..Might I request a brief moment of your time for conversation?" I asked quickly rushing to him. 
I turned to look at Jungkook who had clenched fists and stared at us fuming. "I kindly seek your understanding for this momentary interruption, Prince Jungkook. My sincerest apologies, but there is an urgent matter I must discuss with Sir Hoseok." He just looked at us before exhaling and looking away. I pulled Hoseok away and left the place. "Sung Min what are you doing?" Hoseok whispered. "Why did you leave me with the prince like that." I whispered back. "Sung-Min he loves you. Didn't you see. Jungkook was your creation and today your creation went against you. You created him to hate Sung-Min and love Sooyoung. But see how passionate he is about you. You should not doubt it. You said yourself you are liking him too right. That man will do anything to save you and be by your side." Hoseok explained. "I know you made Jungkook just like you wanted your life partner to be like. You said that in the interview back in the real world yourself." Hoseok explained and I looked up. 

"Give him a chance. Don't be scared. I know you want peace but life is all about ups and downs. If you loves, respects and trusts you...you found your man. And I promise...the day he betrays you...you will find me by your side. But now follow your heart and go to him." Hoseok encouraged. 

"What do you want?" I whispered back looking into his eyes. "I want you happy." He whispered back. "I know you don't love me...I don't love you either. We don't have to love each other to share a close bond. I admire and adore you. That's enough for me. I want you to have a life. A loving partner who loves you and keeps you happy."  Hoseok added. That's when I realized Hoseok is truly from the real world. A real human being. A human with so many layers of emotions. Just like me. 

I walked backwards looking at him before turning around and going to Jungkook. On one side there was love. Love that was passionate but also unrealistic like a fairy tale. Other side there was care and respect, a backup and a realistic bond where we could complete each other in peace. Today he made me choose Jungkook...but somewhere deep within I wondered if I made the right choice.  

"Your highness I am extremely sorry for making you wai-" I added but he stopped me as he spoke, "Are you in a romantic relationship with Lord Hoseok?" he asked with curious and worried eyes. "No." and finally I made my choice. Jungkook softly smiled back in relief. "Lady Sung-Min." he started and I looked at him. 
I am compelled to reveal the sentiments that reside within my heart. My heart's desire rests in sharing each passing moment of existence by your side. I express deep remorse for all the rude words and actions I showed you. The Arsnets flowers you gifted me held a profound significance, one that has kindled a deep and abiding love within me. This affection has grown beyond containment, and I stand before you with a simple yet earnest question." He said shocking me. I stood frozen as he knelt down making my eyes go wide. Everyone around my estate gasped seeing the sight. "With utmost humility, I beseech (ask): shall you do me the gracious honor of becoming mine?" 

I exhaled my breath that I was holding for god knows how long and felt my heart pour love. This was exactly how I dreamt of being asked out in my previous life. I know it was cringey and cliche but oh how much I wanted to feel like a sweetheart for once. Tears coated my eyes as my lips quivered. How in the world could I say no? When I was already liking him so much. 

"Indeed, Prince. I too harbor the wish to share my days alongside you." I added lost in the cloudy moment of the confession. I knew it was unrealistic to some extent but I couldn't bring myself to care. Jungkook stood up pulling me into a tight embrace and I just leaned in. He pulled away and I felt myself lost in his eyes as he leaned over to capture my lips in his own.
