His Bride - A Minsung Story

八

Jisung's POV:

Felix eventually had to leave because it was getting to late and he insisted I would need sleep for tomorrow. He left with a mischievous glint in his eye and said he would wake me up in the morning. I climbed into the huge bed and stared at the ceiling as I reflected on the day I just had. Everything feels so surreal, like did that even happen to me? A commoner?

Seems like I hit the jackpot of bad luck. Minho seems like he'll forever hate me and I don't know how to react to that. I'm not really used to people hating me so I don't know how to fix this. A part of me truly believes that he's a nice person on the inside and that I just have to wait a little bit to see his true self.

I let my eyes fall closed after that comforting thought and the bed swallows me whole as I fall into dreamland.

My hands are tied together and I can't move entire body. I was rooted in place out of fear as I turned my head around to figure out where I was. I can't remember anything from a couple hours ago, what happened?

I hear footsteps approaching me and I look up to see a young man with a smirk on his face that makes fearful shivers run down my entire body.

"I finally have you all to myself," The man approaches me and grips my chin harshly, "Don't even think of escaping."

I jolt awake and try to calm my breathing before it gets out of control. I quickly lock those memories away and desperately try to forget about it. I sit up in my bed and look over to the curtains and see that the sun is barely starting to peek through them, it must be early in the morning. I grab one of my pillows and hug it tightly. I wish someone was here so I could hug them and so they could tell me that everything will be alright. I miss my best friend.

I keep repeating over and over and over in my head that I'm safe.

I didn't get anymore sleep after that and I can't tell you how happy I was when Felix burst into the room with his bright smile and clingy nature. I really need that dose of happiness right now.

"So what am I doing today?" I ask as I get dragged into my closet by Felix which by the way, is bigger than my old room. 

"What makes you ask that?" Felix replies innocently as he sifts through the clothes in my closet.

"Don't act all innocent, I know you're up to something. You evil cutie," I narrow my eyes at him playfully.

"Ohhh yea! It must've slipped my mind," Felix gives a not so convincing laugh and I glare at him but his back is turned so he can't see it, "You're going to eat breakfast with the royal family and meet the king and queen officially!" 

My mouth falls open, I'm not mentally prepared for this! "What!? You can't do this to meee."

"I didn't tell you for your own good. If you knew you wouldn't have slept a wink last night," Felix turns around and gives me a genuine smile, "I promise it's better this way."

Well I didn't sleep a lot anyway, I grumble in my head. Felix throws a set of clothes at me and tells me to get dressed. This can't be that bad, right? The king seemed really nice last time I saw him but I can't say the same about the queen. The way she looked at me in pure disgust is burned into my brain, and it makes me feel like I don't belong here. Which in all fairness, I don't.

"Lixie~, I'm going to dieeee," I emerge from the closet with the outfit on and dramatically fall on the bed next to him. Sometimes I fear that Hyunjin has rubbed off on me to much but I need to keep his drama queen spirit alive while I'm here.
