"What.." Jimin's eyes shiver in pain and fear as she gets out of his grip and turns around to face him. She looked at him as she felt her mind go blank, her lips trembled as her fingers shook "Stop... Stop this instant.. Jungkook, this is not humorous." Jungkook continued looking down as Jimin looked at him in fear "Please.. Tell me...This is not true." Jungkook looked around as he kept blinking his eyes continuously. He walked over to the corner of his room and switched off his lights. Jimin looked around the darkness as she heard sniffs
"I.. I wish.. I was lying, but I am not. I.." Jungkook pauses as he sniffs and shakily exhales. His lips trembled before he started speaking "I.. I will.. I will try to fix everything." Jungkook's voice cracks as he wipes off his tears "I know I can't do anything for both of you to forgive me.. B-but.. I will try my best to hold my p-parents responsible." Jungkook walked behind Jimin making sure he kept his distance "I sounded selfish before for telling you to not leave.. I will help you to leave this place-" Jungkook was cut off by Jimin hugging him tight. Jungkook looked down at her tiny figure in the dark as his eyes slightly widened "What did you remember..? Tell me everything.."
"Jimin-" "No, Jungkook. I won't leave. I won't leave until I hear everything. I won't leave until I help you." "I am a murderer's son.. What's wrong with you Jimin?" Jungkook asks furiously as he still doesn't hug her back. Jimin exhaled and broke the hug to look at Jungkook's face which was hidden in the darkness. She looked at the wall where their shadow was slightly formed. She smiled "You must be crying right now.. You didn't want me to see you crying so.. So you turned off the lights right?" Jungkook didn't answer making Jimin wipe off the tears from her cheeks, she took Jungkook's right hand, intertwining it with hers
"Neither would Wooyoung blame you.. Because you are not the one to blame." Jimin says as her free hand travels to Jungkook's cheek. Jungkook's fingers on her hand tightened not much to hurt her as he stepped closer to her making her take a step back. Jungkook stops and lifts their intertwined hands "He came asking for help but none of them helped.." Jimin hears him whisper as she exhales "Come walk with me.. Let's turn on the lights first." Jungkook nodded as both of them walked towards the switch and she turned the switch on.
"Okay.." Jimin turned around to face him to see his crying face. She bit her lower lip as she felt a sharp pain in her heart "Let's go sit first." Jimin slowly dragged him towards Jungkook's bed and made him sit as she sat after. Jimin looked at their intertwined hands as she smiled "Jungkook, you need to tell me exactly what you remember. Do not fabricate anything." Jungkook slowly nodded as he kept looking down at the ground. Jungkook exhales and starts "When I was 6 or maybe less...
Flashback:
"Prince!" Jungkook looked behind him to see who the hurt voice belonged to "Ajussi! Hi! You're back! Let's play!!" Mr. Jung forced a smile on his face and looked at Jungkook "Prince.. I can't play right now.." Jungkook pouted and looked at him "But why?" Mr. Jung cried as got on his knees in front of Jungkook "Prince.. Please help.." Jungkook's eyes tremble "Ajussi.. What's wrong.." Jungkook looked at Mr. Jung's bloody shirt as his breathing got heavier.
"G-go! Go to that corner, prince.." Jungkook nods and quickly runs away to the corner. Mr. Jung gets up and quickly runs inside the castle "Please help my daughter!" he shouts as he looks around while stumbling over things while gripping his bleeding stomach where the knife was pierced in.. Jungkook who was supposed to sit outside in the garden, ran inside after hearing him shout. He looked at Mr. Jung who was running around looking for help "Please help my daughter! She's in danger! Please! Mrs. Jeon! Mr. Jeon!" Jungkook's eyes widened as he bit on his tiny fingers "Eomma.. Appa.."
"Someone help! My neighbors can't do it alone! PLEASE SOMEONE! My wife! She is gonna die! SOMEONE HELP ME!" He fell on his knees, crying hard. Jungkook slowly walked up to him and looked at him in fear "Ajussi.." Mr. Jung looked up at him as he grabbed Jungkook's arms "Prince! Please!" Jungkook looked at him crying as he got scared and started to tremble "I want to help too, Ajussi..." Mr. Jung quickly nodded "Where are your parents?" Jungkook shook his head
"I have no idea.." Mr. Jung shook his head as his grip on Jungkook's shoulder tightened "No! You should know!" Jungkook starts crying as Mr.Jung realizes what he is doing and lets him go "I apologize, prince.." Jungkook continued crying as Mr. Jung was about to hug him but then sprinkles of blood hit Jungkook's face. Jungkook opened his eyes to see Mr. Jung fall to the floor as an arrow was pierced into his chest. At this traumatizing sight, Jungkook screams out loud and crawls back "NO! NO! AJUSSI!" He cries loudly
"AJUSSI!" He cried harder as Mr. and Mrs. Jeon came running from outside. They kneeled in front of Jungkook and hugged him as they quickly covered his eyes "No baby.. No.. Don't cry.. It's nothing.. This never happened." He heard his mother say as he felt her hands tremble on his skin. Jungkook pushed their hands away to see the guards carrying his dead body while their heads stayed low "Ajussi... What happened to him?"
"Nothing baby.. He.. he is.. He has to leave now.. They will show his way out." Mr. Jeon says pointing to the guards as Jungkook sadly nods "He promised to teach me something.." He whispers to himself and poutes.
End of flashback
"I... I don't know what to do right now.." Jungkook rubbed his eyes and forehead in worry as Jimin's grip on his hand got tighter as she sat closer to him "Jungkook.. I don't think your parents did it.." Jungkook looked at her as his eyes were examining hers "What do you mean?" "Were they having arrows with them?" Jungkook shook his head "Exactly.. So, let's not suspect them.. Let's suspect someone.. Someone who despises your family?" "Despises my family..?" Jimin nods "Let's talk about this later. Your parents want to meet up with us."
"Why?" Jimin shrugs "Mrs. Jeon just informed me about the meeting.. She didn't tell me the reason." Jungkook nodded and stood up as their hands separated. Jimin looked at her now, empty hand, and exhaled as she stood up after him "I will be waiting outside the room," Jungkook frowned his eyebrows "You can just watch me change, you already saw everything anyways" Jimin's jaw dropped as she gasps "Oh please, no!" Jimin quickly walks out of the room as Jungkook laughs at her embarrassed and frustrated face.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"This conversation should be just within us and it should not be communicated with anyone else. Not even San and Wooyoung. Alright?" Mr. Jeon says as Jimin and Jungkook nod. Mr. Jeon and his wife glanced at each other before looking at Jungkook "We've thought about this for so long. And I need you to respect my judgment here, son." Jungkook slowly nods as his eyes show confusion "But agree to what, father?" Mrs. Jeon massaged her shivering hands as Mr. Jeon took a moment of silence.
"You know that I am unwell and I even collapsed once.. I can't guarantee my health in the future either." Jungkook nodded as Jimin just kept quiet and listened to their conversation "Jungkook.. I want you to take over the throne." Jungkook's eyes slightly widen and Jimin looks at Jungkook while smiling happily "But father, you know that I have to-" "I know. And we will get you married by next week." Jimin's smile faded as Jungkook's jaw dropped, looking at his mother "Mother-" "I am the one who made the decision." Mrs. Jeon says.
