HELLBOUND [Liskook]

Part 65 ⚠️ Jirose

Chapter 323 Take me

Dear readers, today's chapters are all about Rosé and Jimin.

Meanwhile, at the capital…

Rosé groaned as she woke up. She opened her eyes but then she quickly closed them again as she put an arm over them to shield them from the brightness of the sunlight. With her arm still blocking the sun from her eyes, she slowly opened them to see that she was inside a large room, lying down on a huge black bed. She noticed that this didn't look like Jimin's room at the castle but then her mind was instantly diverted towards the man himself!

She looked around, looking for Jimin, but found that he wasn't there. She slowly stood up, noticed the big shirt she was wearing and a big smile formed on her face. She was about to fall back on the bed to reminisce about her hot date last night when her stomach protested.

It was already past noon and she was famished. Deciding to get up and search for some food instead, she walked out the door and was instantly met with a delicious aroma of food, making her stomach grumble even more. 'Feed me,' it complained.

Rosé followed her nose which led her to the kitchen and while the aroma of the food was very enticing, it wasn't nearly as yummy as the sight that met her. Her delicious Prince charming was standing by the stove, wearing a cute apron, stirring something on a pan. At that moment, he really looked like a very doting, domesticated husband.

Aww, she couldn't help but imagine him as her husband and her heart swelled. Without calling out to him, she quickly ran towards him and gave him a tight hug from behind as the things that happened the night before flashed in her head.

…

Last night…

"I don't want to go home yet," Rosé said as Jimin carried her on his back. The darkness had truly settled at this point and Jimin had been intending on dropping her off to her hotel room, sooner rather than later.

"Let me stay with you for a while, please?" Rosé asked when she felt that Jimin was thinking of finishing up their date.

They were on top of one the tallest buildings in the country and the view was magnificent. The lights that were scattered throughout the city made it seem like the sky was now below them instead of up above. Rosé looked down at the scenery and sighed inwardly as he continued trying to persuade Jimin to let her stay.

"I'm on vacation anyway so it's not a problem for me to stay for a while. Please?" she negotiated. However, there was an undercurrent in Rosé's tone, as if she was hiding something or running away from something.

Rosé also had her own life changing secret. What was waiting for Rosé back at home was her engagement to some man she didn't really know.

Her family was quite wealthy and she was the only daughter. Over the past three months, her grandparents had been busy setting her up on a lot of blind dates with sons of other wealthy families. She was now 23 and her grandparents were very unsubtly telling her to get married and give them their great-grandchildren. Rosé was the only hope of the Park family. She stood to inherit the huge amount of wealth of the Park family, being the only grandchild, but only under the condition that she marry the man her grandparents chose for her. It sounded stupid but her family was the typical, wealthy, traditional type where money and prestige mattered. Even her parents couldn't escape its claws and Rosé herself was the product of that arranged marriage.

She knew this was coming. And being the only daughter, she knew she couldn't escape it. She had made a deal with her parents to give her a year of freedom, a year to do whatever she wanted and after that time, she would go home and take on the responsibilities of the sole heir of their family's line. That burden was hers to bear.
