Frozen by Heart || PJM

"And who might this lovely lady be?"

At that moment your body was frozen still as ice. You momentarily forgotten how to speak upon sensing Jimin's sharp gaze darting at you. There was a lump forming in your throat as you nervously swallowed.

It will be okay.

You had to remind yourself that everything will be fine. After all those efforts you gave in from Namjoon's teaching would be in vain.

"I am.. Y/n." You returned a sheepish smile at the male in front of you. Jimin, who stood beside you cleared his throat abruptly with his elbow lightly nudging your side. His sudden gesture confused you until realization clicked.

Crap..

You had forgotten to bow!

"Ah- pardon my rudeness your Majesty!" Quickly you added with an immediately bow. Your hand clutched onto opposite side of the dress, and raised it slightly from the stoop gesture.

The king cracked a little smile as his hand waved reassuringly. "No need to stress yourself with the formalities dear." He assured you.

Upon hearing his reassurance you let out a breath you didn't think you were holding. Your shoulders too would relax as they slumped down slightly.

"You're rather casual, Eunwoo." Jimin replied back glancing at you momentarily with his icy gaze before shifting away.

"I would beg to differ, my friend." Eunwoo cracked a smile with his hand gesturing a dismissive wave. His comment brought Jimin's brow to raise very little expressing his slight intriguing look, which he then prompted Eunwoo to continue furthermore.

"Things has changed since the last time I saw you. I found myself a loving Queen.. and well she taught me things that I hadn't realized before." Eunwoo said motioning his hand towards a lady standing beside him. You and Jimin both turned your head in unison seeing the young women. In your eyes she looked almost like a beautiful goddess, her faint freckles really accentuate her beauty wonderfully. Well to you she was.. you couldn't really tell if Jimin was seeing the same thing.

You glanced over towards Jimin seeing the stoic expression still there. It looked as if he wasn't fazed by her appearance which strangely felt quite relieving to you, but you brushed it off believing it was nothing.

"I find that hard to believe." Jimin eventually spoke up as he flicked his eyes away from the lady, and fixed them at Eunwoo.

"Knowing you, I'm sure it does." Eunwoo replied back with a chuckle. "But it's the truth." He added before turning towards his Queen with a soft endearing smile growing over his lips.

There was something about this display of affection made smile. You could tell the genuine sincerity towards the women. Action speaks louder than words that was something your mother had told you, and seeing it in person... seemed rather melting.

Eunwoo slowly wrapped his right arm around the lady's waist, and pulled her body closer just enough where their sides met. The reciprocation of her smile towards him was enough to tell you that their love was quite genuine than forced.

"That's so unlike you." Jimin then replied back peeling his gaze away from their ecstatic smiles feeling rather grossed out? You couldn't really tell if he was grimacing at the sight, but he seemed a little uncomfortable witnessing this moment.

"I know." Eunwoo laughed somewhat sheepishly before pulling his latched arm away from his Queen's waist. "But like I said earlier.. I am a changed man." He hummed with his gaze soon flicking towards yours.

"And I'm sure this little lady would be do the same for you."

Hearing those words felt almost foreign to you. A cruel hearted king that enjoyed nothing more than seeing his people suffering would change? That sounded like a joke. You couldn't really imagine Jimin ever smiling so sweetly to his people, treating them with love and care like a caring king should. Let alone.. expressing his genuine feelings to you.
