Jungkook was looking like a madman would be an understatement.

His muse.

Oh boy, no words can ever describe how much he was yearning to meet the love of his life again.

His heart was aching to see her.

He was out of his house again on his eighth day searching for her mindlessly.

He stared at the picture which he held dearly in his hand. Jungkook has an undeniable talent for art and so he drew his muse. He smiled giddily at the picture which he drew with so much love and passion.

'I will find you'

He whispered.

It's been hours since he left his house in hope to know anything about her. He even asked some random villagers if they knew anyone with the name Areum and showed them her picture. But all his efforts went in vain when he came to the conclusion that she didn't live in this village. He came across no villager who knew who she was or where she lived.

He let out groan hopelessly.

Why did she lie that day when he asked her where she lived? She said that she's from the nearest village to their hut.

He sat down under the big shadow of a banyan tree as he weeped silently. Pain of betrayal and being lied to by the woman he loved was clearly visible among his delicate features.

Why did she lie to him? Why would she? Didn't she trust him enough to even tell him where she lived?

Will he ever get to meet her again?

No he won't give up on her. He can never give up on his muse.

"Why are you crying child?"

His breath came heavier and he looked up to see an age old woman looking at him with concerned eyes.

"It's nothing"

He wiped off his tears.

"No grown man would cry just for nothing."

He felt at loss of words.

"What's that in your hands child?"

"It's a picture I drew of someone"

"Is it of someone you love?"

He didn't say anything.

"Can I see it?"

He nodded and passed the picture in her hands.

He saw her gasp when she laid her eyes on the picture.

"Where did you see her?"

The old woman inquired him.

"She came to our hut few weeks ago"

"Do you know her?"

"I know nothing more than her name. Her name is Areum."

"Oh boy, she's no Areum"

He looked at her with confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"She's the most mighty princess and one of the rightful heirs to 'Ruhan' Dynasty"

'She's the Erelah Avery'

'Hyung it's been so long that I took a trip. But now I need it in order to refresh my mind. I would be staying in one of my friends house. So don't worry too much and take care of yourself

Your lovely
Kook'


Jungkook looked at the letter he wrote for his Yoongi hyung thoroughly to check any mistake.

He was so grateful to that old lady cause without her help he wouldn't have ever known about his muse and her whereabouts. He really was living under a rock as he had no idea of the powerful kingdom 'Ruhan Dynasty'.

His mind played some flashbacks of his sweet memories with his muse at the Forest and he remembered how her voice held authority.. Now he knows where her immense authority came from.

He chuckled feeling stupid of himself. He should've known from the start. Her aura was too regal and authentic for a commoner.  And those little friends with her were nothing but her guards for which they always sticked to her side in order to protect her.

He packed his bag with his important commodities.

Tonight he would be leaving for Ruhan Dynasty.

However a frown formed on his features. He forgot to ask a very important question to the old lady. She told him that King Avery kept his daughter Erelah's identity hidden and that was the reason why no one in the village could recognise her

'Then how did she recognise her face?"
