Chapter 36

Y/N placed Taehyung on his bed and tried to move, but Taehyung grabbed her hand and pulled her onto his chest.

Y/N couldn't believe what was happening. "L-L-Lord, what are you doing?" she stammered.

Taehyung asked in a husky voice, "Why are you taking care of me?"

"Because you're my husband," Y/N replied.

Taehyung giggled. "Do you want to marry me? Why are you always saying that you're my wife?"

"We are already married, Ajushii," Y/N said.

Taehyung mumbled, "Hey, don't call me Ajushii."

"But you once told me to call you Ajushii," Y/N responded.

"I don't remember," Taehyung said, cutely thinking.

An idea clicked in Y/N's mind. Maybe in his drunken state, Taehyung would reveal the truth about his mother. "Your highness, why do you hate your mother?" she asked.

Taehyung remained silent.

"Lord?" Y/N said, but Taehyung didn't reply. She also remained silent. A few minutes later, Taehyung spoke.

"Because she's not a good mother. She still tries to give me a lot of problems. She always loves Jimin and hates me," Taehyung said.

Y/N listened intently.

"And she did a lot of cruel things to me and the Moon Goddess," Taehyung added before he fell asleep.

Y/N got up from him and sat on the couch, thinking about Taehyung's words. Her curiosity about Lalisa Manobal grew even more.

With that, she tried to sleep, pondering how to uncover more about Taehyung's past and his mother.

The next morning, Taehyung woke up with a splitting headache. He looked around the room, trying to piece together the events of the previous night.

Spotting Y/N, he called out, "Y/N, come here."

Y/N approached him cautiously. "Yes, your highness?"

Taehyung rubbed his temples. "What happened last night? I don't remember anything."

Y/N hesitated for a moment, then decided to lie to protect him. "Nothing much, your highness. You were just a bit drunk and needed help getting to bed. I made sure you were comfortable."

Taehyung narrowed his eyes, trying to gauge her truthfulness. "And I didn't do anything... strange?"

Y/N shook her head, forcing a smile. "No, nothing at all. You just talked a bit and then fell asleep."

Taehyung sighed in relief. "Alright. Thank you for taking care of me."

Y/N nodded, feeling a pang of guilt for lying but knowing it was for the best. "Of course, your highness. It's my duty."

Taehyung decided to go for a walk in the garden to clear his mind.

Y/N, knowing his tendency to brood, followed discreetly to keep an eye on him.

As Taehyung walked along a narrow, winding path, he stumbled on a loose stone.

Y/N, who was close behind, instinctively reached out to catch him.

In the process, she lost her balance, and they both fell to the ground. Y/N ended up on top of Taehyung, their faces just inches apart.

Before either of them could react, their lips brushed against each other in an accidental kiss.
