TAEHYUNG'S POV

Meeting her gaze, I found myself caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions that I struggled to decipher. I frowned at her and asked, "Rao? What exactly does that mean?"

Her eyes held a complex array of feelings, and I was left perplexed by the shifting emotions that seemed to flit across her face. There was a mixture of sadness and longing, along with a hint of uncertainty that left me feeling unsettled.

She didn't reply to my question, so I just smiled and added, "Anyway, are you okay now? You suddenly collapsed in the garden so I brought you here."

She opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the nurse.

AUTHOR'S POV

"Good evening, Miss Bela." The nurse sets the tray on the bed and asks, "Please take this medicine."

YN's eyes widened in surprise when she heard the nurse address her as Bela. "B- Bela?" YN inquired in confusion, but the nurse exited the ward without answering.

"Actually..."

YN quickly focused her attention on Taehyung. "I didn't know your name, so while filling out the form, I wrote your name 'Bela'. I really love this name. I don't know why." Taehyung let's out a chuckle. "By the way what's your name?" He asked YN while rubbing the back of his neck.

YN diverts her eyes and looks at Yeontan, who is looking at her and tilting his head in uncertainty, "I- I have to go." She instantly gets out of the bed and rushes to the door.

"Bela wait!" Taehyung's voice halted YN's actions.

"I watch you practice classical dance in the Silver Garden everyday." He slowly begins walking towards YN. "Do not misunderstand me. I- I'm not a stalker. Actually, my brother and I run a dance academy. And we're looking for a dance instructor. So will you join our dance academy as a dance instructor?" Taehyung asked hesitantly.

YN slowly turns around to see Taehyung looking at her with pleading eyes. "I'll think about it." She stated looking everywhere but Taehyung.

Meanwhile, Taehyung smiles and instantly begins fishing his pockets.

He takes out a visiting card and offers it in front of YN. "Please take this."

YN immediately takes the visiting card and leaves the ward.

Taehyung, on the other hand, picks up Yeontan, who was hiding behind him in order to avoid scaring YN.

"Tan, we'll call her Bela until she tells us her name, okay?"

Yeontan barks and snuggles into Taehyung's arms.

--300 Years Ago--

"Why do you keep calling me 'Rao'? What exactly does 'Rao' mean?" Taehyung inquires Bela who is caressing the back of her favourite white horse.

Bela smiles as she looks at Taehyung. "Rao means someone who is auspicious. It also means 'Raja'. A king."

"But I'm not a king. I am the prince of Silla." Taehyung said in confusion.

"Rao, you are the king." Bela approaches Taehyung with a gentle smile on her face. "The king who rules my heart."

--Present--

Kim's House

Taehyung woke abruptly from a deep slumber, his heart racing and body covered in a cold sweat. Gasping for air, he tried to calm himself down as he glanced around his dimly lit room in confusion.

"What was that?" he muttered to himself, the words barely audible in the silence of the night.
