CURSED : The Blue Eyed Maiden [ BTS FF ]

Chapter 79

Eunwoo's Pov

Han Kyung.

Growing up in the Han palace I never got to play with her, her mother would say she's fragile and blind so she can't play with us. But I knew Kyung-ah always wanted to play with us, her siblings. She was just a child, how could she control herself, but I was a child too, all I could do was stare at her mother dragging her in their quarter.

I was curious about her. She always tried to be happy with what she had unlike my other sisters. God was so unfair to treat such a pure soul with such despair. And oneday I decided to study medicine. To help that beautiful soul. But I guess it took so long for me....

She can see me now. The beautiful world around her. She looks still the same, ethereal, she has a divine aura around her which always made her special from the rest. I wonder how she recognised me.... when she never saw me before....

And why her physical state is so frail. She looked so weak and sad, just like when she was in Han palace 12 years ago. I want to help my sister as much as I can, but can I?

I knew our family didn't care about Han Kyung but stressing her so much that she fainted, I can't believe it. I sighed, pulling out the few portions from my sleeve and looked at them, "I hope this will help her to sleep at ease, and this is for stress relief and this is for...."

I groaned as I bumped into someone. "what the hell--" the glass bottle almost slipped from my grip but I was quick to get hold on it. "please watch where you....huh?" I blinked looking up at the taller male who looked awfully familiar in his military uniform. "oh hyung....what are you...doing here?"

"Han Eunwoo, how can you roam around the street without reporting to grandmother first. You know how worried she gets when it comes to you." he raised a brow, folding his arms infront of his chest. "Care to explain? And what's with these bottles?"

I tucked them back in my sleeve pocket and hugged hyung. "Don't get all serious about me going missing hyung. I'm sorry I was busy... you won't believe what happened!" I pulled away, "I met our Kyung !"

"WHAT? KYUNG? you mean Han Kyung? Where is she? Do you know what a mess she created at home? We lost our palace and father is under suspension, thanks to her. And now she's missing....for a whole day." Minho looked around, "Where did you meet her?"

"Hyung. Calm down, I don't know what she did to cause all this havoc within our family but right now she's my patient, you can't be dragging her back to the place where everyone is waiting to dig their nails in her, sheesh." I shook my head, "Plus I'm surprised she returned her vision and recognised me.... it's like she was never blind."

"Your patient? How come..... wait, why don't you take me to her? I promise I won't force her to go back to the Hans." hyung hold my shoulder, making me look up at him, before nodding.

we walked in the cottage, him following me behind. "You promised me hyung you-"

"Yes. I did, she's my sister too Eunwoo." he grumbled, taking off his hat, "why is she here?"

"She fainted. I wonder why? Also heard from Sogum that she ran away once from Han palace because of her forced arrange marriage." I sighed. "Is she even of age to get married, the last time I saw her, she was hiding behind a tree.....I promised I'll take care of her but see...... I could not." I was disappointed in me. As her older brother I did nothing for her.

"It's common and do you not know who that man is? her future husband? the emperor himself. It'd be treason if father dared to refuse. Han Kyung should understand this is for her own welfare, otherwise who'd accept a blind woman --"

"Hyung? She's not blind....our Han Kyung is a diva , the emperor should be the one feeling lucky that our sister is getting arranged with him. That greedy man, how many women he wants in his harem, it's already bursting!" I clenched my fist, "Kyung is a literal child !"

"She's past the marrying age and It's for her sake, at least she'll be away from our torturous family if she marries the wang--" I stopped making hyung stop talking. "What is it?"

"HAN KYUNG? what the hell? what are....you doing?" I blinked, seeing my younger sister hugging another man, who didn't look like the emperor at all. He was the man who brought her here along with Sogum. but why were they....in eachother's private...space?

"What is going on ....Han Kyung?" Minho Hyung stepped in, frowning at the shorter male, "Who is this?"

"O-oppa...that..." she looked at us, before lowering her head. I can tell she was uncomfortable to answer. I sighed and glared at the man.

"Whatever it is, we'll talk about it at home. Pack your stuff, we are leaving, early morning tomorrow." I ordered, making her look at me confused. "What? Don't you know how worried grandma is?"

"Aish...." She bit her lower lip, angry. "Sogum, pack our stuff." She looked at her lady in waiting before looking at me, "But tonight let's have dinner together..." she glanced at her friends and then at us.

Han Kyung....this is a mess. For real.

Author's POV

"Who is this hyung?" The taller male stared at the figure unconsciously laying on the bed, in deep slumber before looking up at Jin.

"I found him unconscious when I went to grab some fruits , he was in bad state, i just couldn't leave him there, it didn't feel right." Jin responded, changing the cloth from the man's forehead. "He looks so frail..."

"So? Is this some guest house? We don't have enough to feed another mouth, we're barely making it and....aigoo....you and your kindness, Yoona-ssi? Why you let them in? Should have kicked them both out!" Namjoon glared at him before walking out to lecture another man sitting in the porch, "And here's another one. Why I'm surrounded by all type of kind souls, it's making me look like the bad guy. Did you enjoy playing the hero in the woods? huh?"

"Ahh hyung mianhe, I was lost. I'm not good with directions within this kingdom." Jungkook pout, munching on the berries he bought on the way back. "I have to go work now, heard Jin hyung bought a man, check if he's useful or not. If not, let's wait for him to heal and function enough to make his way out of here alone."

Namjoon nodded, "Don't get lost again." Jungkook smiled before leaving for his shift early in the morning.
