Chapter 26

~ Jungkook's POV~

" Son," My dad said to me as I walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water. " Yes, dad? " I said and motioned me to sit down. " As you know, your wedding is 2 months away," He said and sighed sadly and nodded

" I know you don't wanna get married, your mom tells me...But you're going to be a king when I pass away...Who will you have by your side if you don't get married? " He said trying to explain

" You and mom are only in your early 50s, you guys are healthy so you guys aren't gonna pass away so soon...I just wish I could get married to someone I actually love and it not be forced ..." I said sighing and getting up

" I gotta go hang out with Jisoo before she gets an attitude," I said looking at him before walking away

" Kookie!" I heard my moms voice and I turned around

" Yes, mom? " I said and she smiled

" Have you seen your father? I can't seem to find him " She said looking around. " He is in the living room, we both just got done talking "

" What were you both talking about? " She said and I smiled. " Can we talk privately? I wanna ask you something"

" Sure thing sweetheart," She said smiling and lead me to her room. She closed the door

" How do you know if...if you love someone? " I asked her and she looked at me with confusion

" Why would you need to know Kookie? " She said sitting down beside me. " Nothing...I just wanna know, how did you know Dad loved you " I asked and she smiled at me

" Can you tell me what love is "

" When you love someone, You feel a sense of complement. You feel like you can live without them. When you're in love, you feel like your partner as an extension of yourself. You feel an extent of euphoria, you feel like your in Utopia when you're with them " She said smiling at me and I smiled back when I started to think of Taehyung

I feel empty when I'm not around Taehyung...I feel like I'm not complete when I'm without him...When he is with me, or when I even see him...I feel like I'm complete

" What about true love? " I said

" True love feels like knowing that your partner will make space to sit and listen and hear you. True love feels like looking at the other, and knowing that they are really looking back at you, not a projection or the person they think you should be. Recognition sometimes wavers within the confines of the relationship " She said smiling at me

" Is jealousy apart of loving someone? "

" Of course It is, you're always going to be like you need to protect what's your, " She said and I nodded

" Well...how did you know dad was in love with you? " I asked and she smiled

" Your dad and I'd love story was something special to me...We meet when I was his servant, I had been working for your father for 3 years before we got together. We were sneaking around, trying not to hey caught, it really didn't matter even when we did, no one was able to tell him what to do.

" Your dad had his eyes on me more than I had mines on his. It'd be cliché if I was to say that it was true love at the site but I felt something when I first meet your dad, I felt a sense of euphoria, and safety, he never treated me like any of the other servants, he treated me better"

" Then, your dad finally confessed his love to me, I felt like I was on top of the world, then he asked me to be his queen, that same month we got married, then we had you, " She said smiling at me and creasing my cheek

I hugged her and kissed her cheek

" Thank you for the advice mom...I really needed it " I said smiled and getting up

" Honey, why did you need the advice? Are you trying to realize that you love Jisoo? " She asked me and I thought about what I should say

" Um...Not exactly " I said laughing nervously

" What's all of this about? " She said looking at me. " I...I can't tell you now but you'll be the first one I tell when I'm comfortable " I said smiling and walking out of the room

Am I In love with Taehyung?.... I'm in love with a servant? I don't think I can try and win Taehyung back, but I'll try even if he can't be mine
