Chapter 28

The night grew darker, and the silence in the palace was almost palpable.

Taehyung stayed vigilant by Y/N's side, his mind racing with thoughts of his mother's spirit and Jisoo's treachery.

He couldn't shake the feeling that something sinister was looming.

Meanwhile, Jisoo retreated to her quarters, her mind whirling with frustration and anger.

She had come so close to executing her plan, but Taehyung’s unexpected arrival had thrown everything into disarray.

She knew she had to act quickly and decisively if she wanted to turn the tide in her favor.

In the early hours of the morning, as the first light of dawn began to creep into the sky, Taehyung finally allowed himself to relax.

Y/N stirred and slowly opened her eyes, finding Taehyung still at her side.

Taehyung sighed, conflicted between his desire to protect her and the necessity of uncovering the truth.

"Alright," he finally agreed. "But we do this together but not now. I won't let you face this alone."

After that Y/N went to kitchen and started doing her works

Meanwhile, Y/N walked back to her room, feeling a bit uneasy.

She had a strange feeling that something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

As she entered the room, Taehyung was already there, sitting by the window, lost in thought.

"Ajushii," Y/N called softly, walking towards him. "What's wrong? You seem troubled."

Taehyung looked up, his eyes softening as he saw her. "Just thinking about the past, about my mom," he said, his voice heavy with concern.

Y/N sat beside him, taking his hand in hers. "We’ll get through this, together. You don’t have to face it alone."

Taehyung squeezed her hand, grateful for her support. "Thank you, Y/N. I don’t know what I’d do without you."

Suddenly, the door burst open, and Jisoo stood there, a cold smile on her lips. "Taehyung, we need to talk. Alone."

Y/N frowned, standing up protectively. "What do you want, Jisoo? You can’t just barge in here." Taehyung said

Jisoo’s smile never faltered. "It’s about the curse, about your mother. I think we need to discuss what’s going to happen next."

Taehyung stood up, his demeanor hardening. "Y/N, stay here. I need to hear what she has to say."

Y/N reluctantly nodded, her eyes filled with worry as Taehyung and Jisoo left the room.

She paced back and forth, her mind racing with thoughts of the future and the danger that seemed to be closing in on them.

Jisoo led Taehyung to a secluded corner of the palace garden, away from prying eyes.

"Taehyung, you need to understand. We have to find a way to stop your mother, to break the curse completely."

Taehyung crossed his arms, his expression cold. "And what do you suggest, Jisoo? You’ve been nothing but trouble since you arrived."

Jisoo's smile faded, replaced by a steely resolve. "I have a plan, something that could end this once and for all. But we need Y/N’s help. She’s the key to everything."

Taehyung’s eyes narrowed. "I don’t trust you, Jisoo. You’ve been manipulating everyone around you. Why should I believe anything you say now?"
