(Don't play this song until I say to!)

Jungkook's POV:

As I arrived to the meeting room the king greeted me.

"What did you want to talk about sir?" I asked also returning the greeting.

"A war is about to start so and we need an ally, so we'll wait for Baekhyun to arrive," the king responded. Just after he said that a figure came walking in.

"What do you want?" the voice asked in a cold annoyed voice.

"We need to talk about the war brewing," the king responded a bit annoyed.

"And?"

"I'm not going to force you anymore Baekhyun. I'm not going to choose for you anymore. If you really don't want to marry Seolhyun it's fine. Just remember it doesn't hurt my image since you're next in line for the crown," the king said looking like he was thinking about something.

"Is there anything else sir?" I asked. The king shook his head no.

"You both may leave, but be prepared as they might strike at any time," he said turning to face away from us. Quietly we walked out and we went to the over look to see the fire lit markets.

"Do you even love Taeyeon?" I asked watching a little group of kids chase each other.

"Yes, I do. It just seems like I've done something wrong. She seems more upset around me," he said placing his hands behind his back.

"Do you even know what she's going through?!" I yelled at him.

She should be with me and not this bastard who doesn't even know why she's like this.

"Jungkook, what's wrong? What did I do?" he asked facing me with concern and confusion on his face.

"What did you do?! What do you mean! Just look at her for once! Don't you see her face?!" I yelled once again grabbing his collar. I couldn't hold my anger and I can't lower it since it's too high. "Why is she with a person who doesn't know anything on what's happening to her! Her beautiful face shouldn't have tears rolling down it! Why is it you!" I shouted at him ready to punch him.

"Jungkook! Hajima!" I heard a small voice say behind me. I snapped my head back and saw Taeyeon. She wasn't standing up straight and she still looked pale.

"Taeyeon, shouldn't you be resting?" I asked gently lowering my tone.

"I.. I couldn't fall asleep. Please let go of Baekhyun," she stated looking past me. I looked at Baekhyun one last time and let go.

"When you need me... Just blow into this whistle and I'll come," I said opening Taeyeon's hand and placing the metal whistle onto it.

"Why can't you see how I feel for you Taeyeon?" I whispered quietly to myself walking past her.

Taeyeon's POV:

I looked at  the whistle and saw the wire butterfly sitting gracefully on it. Then I looked up and saw Baekhyun.

I need to confess right now.

"I need to talk to you," I said walking over to him. He nodded and I looked over the city.

"Is everything okay?" he asked in a quiet, soft tone. Slowly I looked up to the sky.

"Yes, everything is okay," I responded smiling and letting a little laugh escape.

How do I say this? I thought to myself. He put his hand on my back and I tried not to wince.

"I'm sorry. It seem like I've upset you."

"Well... To be honest... I my feelings has changed about you. My ex came back and we're getting married in April," I quickly said. I felt him tense next to me, and he removed his arm.

"What are you saying?" he asked facing me.

"In short I'm going to be getting married," I repeated myself.

Why is it always the eyes that show the most feeling? I asked myself mentally. His eyes showed anger, sadness, confusion, and disbelief. Quickly he turned me around so my back was facing him.

"What happened earlier today?" he asked in a cold voice while examining my back.

"N-nothing."

"Is that all you had to say?"

"Yes, I guess we are over then."

"Then if that's all I need to go visit Seolhyun to tell her about the marriage. I love her more. Good thing I don't have to worry about crushing your feelings. As of right now there is no 'us.' We're just strangers, got it?" he said leaving and hitting my shoulder as he left. Another of my coughing fits started again.

Taeyeon-ah.. Don't worry that was the right thing for him and you. He can't be with a low status girl like you.

"I need to wash this off my hand before I go talk to the king," I talked to myself quietly looking at the blood on my hand. I walked over to the peaceful flowing stream of water and washed off the blood.

"Taeyeon!" I heard someone yell from behind me. Drying my hands I saw Tiffany running towards me. She engulfed me in a hug.

"Ah- That's hurts too much," I said trying to endure the pain. She pulled away and looked at my face.

"Why do you have this scar on your face?" she asked in a sad tone.

"How are they? Is Yerin okay?"

"They're okay. When I left they were both asleep in your mother's room."

"Do you want to stay in the palace?"

"Wait.... Why? What happened?"

"I'm going to ask the king to allow my leaving if I broke up with Baekhyun," I said staring at my reflection in the water.

"Don't tell me you guys-"

"Yes, we did," I said remembering his eyes.

"I... I'm going to stay with you Unnie.. I'm not going to leave you alone," she said confidently. We both walked to the king's quarters and I knocked.

"Come in," we heard a voice say inside. Looking at each other we walked in. The king looked up and his eyes met mine.

"Let's make a deal. If I break up with Baekhyun, you won't have anymore of our family lines into this 1 year maid system, and you will let me and Tiffany leave peacefully," I said looking him back in the eye. One of his eye brows raised up.

"It's fine. I'll grant that," he said looking back at this book he was reading.

"Then.. Could you rush Baekhyun's wedding to tomorrow before we leave?" I ask. At this his head jolts up.

"You broke up with him?" he asks surprised.

"Yes.."

"I will! Don't worry is there anything else you need?"

"No, we'll be taking our leave now," I said leaving with Tiffany.

As I laid down I held the cold whistle in my hand.

Forget someone like me. It's better for you this way Baekhyun.
