AUTHOR'S POV

"She was called to cure the mute prince of Silla." Seokjin replied staring at the covered portrait next to Bela's potrait.

Taehyung frowns. "Mute prince of Silla?"

Seokjin's eyes met Taehyung's curious gaze as he stood before the portrait in the dimly lit room. "Do you want to see the Silla prince's portrait?"

"Yes!" Taehyung replied hesitantly.

Seokjin approached the covered portrait, his hands steady as he removed the cloth, revealing the artwork beneath. Taehyung's eyes widened in surprise as he recognized his own face staring back at him from the canvas.

"Hyung, this..." Taehyung's voice caught in his throat, a mix of disbelief and awe washing over him. "This is my portrait."

Seokjin smiles, "He was the prince of Silla kingdom. Prince Kim Taehyung."

Taehyung suddenly closes his eyes, as a flood of memories comes rushing back to him. The vividness of the flashback takes him by surprise, as if transported back in time to that moment. The sights, sounds, and feelings from the past fill his mind.

He can almost hear the laughter echoing in his ears, and smell the familiar scents that are now distant but still so vivid in his memory.

"Taehyung are you okay?" Seokjin asked worriedly.

Taehyung holds his head and slowly opens his eyes. "Hyung, please tell me everything you know about the Silla Prince and the Indian classical dancer Bela."

"I will tell you everything. But are you really feeling alright?"

Taehyung nods, "I'm fine Hyung."

Seokjin let out a sigh of relief and began to narrate Taehyung and YN's past life.

--300 Years Ago--

--Prince Chamber--

"Your highness, she has arrived." Jimin exclaimed excitedly. "We'll finally be able to hear your voice." He holds Taehyung's hands in his. "I am confident that Miss Bela will cure you."

Taehyung nods as he stood by the window, observing the serene beauty of the garden. Soon his eyes caught the sight of a woman's figure attempting to scale the mango tree with nimble movements. His brows furrowing in disbelief as he looks at the woman, daring to lay her hands on his most valued possession - the mango tree. A tree cherished by Taehyung.

Without a moment's hesitation, Taehyung swiftly strode out of his chamber. Behind him, Jimin followed his every step.

--Palace Garden--

Upon reaching the mango tree where Bela was already mid-climb, Taehyung and Jimin stumbled upon an unexpected and rather awkward situation.

"Who are you?" Jimin's sudden question startled Bela. The unexpected intrusion disrupted her concentration, causing her to lose her balance. In a split second, Bela's leg slipped, and she plummeted towards the ground. In a twist of fate, she landed on Taehyung. Their unexpected collision culminated in a moment that neither of them had anticipated - their lips inadvertently meeting in an unintended kiss.

This unforeseen turn of events left all three of them shocked. Jimin covers his mouth with his palms after seeing the view in front of his eyes.

Bela quickly got up and dusted her hands before staring at Taehyung. "Are you alright? I hope I did not hurt you."

Jimin helped Taehyung stand up and dust his clothes. "Your Highness, are you okay?

Bela looks at Taehyung with surprise. "Are you the Prince of Silla?"

"Do you not know his highness cannot spe-" Jimin pauses as he examines Bela's attire. "Are you, Miss Bela? Who is India's most famous classical dancer?"

Bela smiles and nods.

"Bela!" Taehyung's voice came out as a whisper as he called Bela's name, making Jimin's eyes widen with shock.

"Your highness, you... Tr- Try to say something else." Jimin requested.

Taehyung looks at Jimin. "Huh? J- Jimin."

"Your highness you can finally speak." Jimin hugged Taehyung and then bows in front of Bela multiple times. "Thank you so much, Miss Bela." He looks at Taehyung. "Your highness, I will deliver this good news to his Majesty." Jimin instantly dashes out of the palace garden to inform the king.

Meanwhile, Taehyung looks at Bela and says, "Th- Thank you so much."

Bela smiles, "I hope you are fine."

"Ye-" Taehyung was cut off by a woman. "बेला आपको तय्यार नाही होना?" [ Bela, don't you want to get ready? ]

Bela looks at the woman and nods her head, "चलीये!" [ Let's go! ] She, said and followed the woman after bowing in front of Taehyung.

--Present--

"That's was their first encounter." Seokjin smiled and looks at Taehyung, "When Prince Taehyung started speaking, the King became very happy. He told Bela that he would offer her anything she wanted from him. So Bela requested him to allow her to stay in the Silla kingdom for two weeks. To which the king said that she can stay in his palace for a month as his special guests. And during that one month, Taehyung and Bela fell in love."

--300 Years Ago--

"Your highness, his majesty allowed Miss Bela to stay in the Silla palace for a month as his special guest." Jimin spoke while helping Taehyung wearing his hanbok.

Taehyung smiles as he looks his reflection in the mirror. "Jimin, do you know which chamber she's staying in?"

--Timeskip--

Taehyung is now standing outside Bela's chamber, peeking in through the window.

Suddenly his eyes stop scanning the chamber when he heard a voice from behind.

"किसे धूंड रहे है राव?" [ Who are you looking for, Rao?" ]
