Forbidden Love

Chapter 19: Leaving

Taeyeon's POV:

The bright sunlight was shining in my eyes. Carefully I got up and looked at Tiffany, who was sleeping peacefully. I made my over to the shades and closed them so she wouldn't wake up soon. When I walked out of the room, I saw maids rushing around.

"Taeyeon Unni! Can you help me again?" the same girl who was falling asleep while peeling vegetables asks. (A/N: Chapter 4)

"Sure, what do you need help with?" I asked following her to the kitchen.

"Today there is a marriage and I have to do fruit carving. But... I don't really know many good designs," she said looking at a flower she carved from a watermelon.

"That's right... There is a marriage today. Anyways, I'll show you some. I didn't get your name last time, what was it?" I asked sitting down holding an apple.

"Jisoo, Kim Jisoo," she said picking up an apple also.

"Okay! Let's get started," I said carving my apple into a swan. A few hours went by and we were finished.

"Thank you!" she said bowing.

"It's no problem," I responded beginning to leave. Before I left the kitchen, I felt a hand grab my wrist.

"Will you be okay Unni?" Jisoo asked me.

"Why do you ask?" I questioned looking at her.

"I can just sense it. Your hand has a ring, why is Baekhyun getting married to her?" I stared at my hand and back at her.

"We didn't work out."

"Unni stop lying. I can hear your thoughts," she responded, "I know you are doing this to protect him."

"How did yo-"

"I know the person who put the poison in your food. It was the queen who did all of those things to you. I was going to warn you, but it was too late. I can see glimpses of your future. You have two paths. Take a seat," she motioned to a wooden chair. I took a seat with her. She put one of her warm hands on mines and a cold one on my forehead. "Take a deep breath. The cold air you will feel is normal." I did as I was told and felt the cold air. Soon a bright white light went into my vision...

I saw myself. My face looked filled with concern and worry. Another person came into view. It was Baekhyun, but he looked like he was in pain. As soon as I saw this, I tried to run to him but golden chains around my ankles and wrists prevented me.

"Just watch, don't run," Jisoo's calming voice said to me. I did as I was told and that scene faded as one appeared. In this one, Tiffany and Jungkook were crying over something. Yerin was there with my mother who was also grieving over the same thing.

"What are they grieving over?" I ask although Jisoo isn't present with me physically.

"That is hard for me to determine. It's too clouded for me to see," she replies with the same tone. The last vision appears before me seeing everyone happy. Seolhyun and Baekhyun are having a talking while laughing. After that, Seolhyun leaves to attend something and Baekhyun just stares into space. "Wake up, you'll feel sweet, warm air enter your body as you take another breath."

Slowly, I open my eyes and feel different. I no longer see Jisoo as a girl younger than me by a year, but a wise person.

"Taeyeon!" a person calls out. I turn and see a girl I don't know. "The king wants you to meet him the in the ceremonial hall," she quickly says and turns on her heel.

"Before you leave, let me give you something," she says putting a finger on my wrist. Then a butterfly comes out of my sleeve and rests on the place turning into ink. "I purposely didn't show you this part, but you'll need this in the future. Whoever you think needs it, cut your wrist and place your blood to the person's mouth. Be wise with this since you can only use it once, and this takes off 30 years of your life," she said beginning to leaves also.

"Wait!" I yell out to her. She turns to me. "Thank you, I mean it."

"Don't worry, you've helped me. You are the first person I found on this planet who was kind enough to help me. I've found my purpose as my mother said I would. Thank you and goodbye," she says leaving once and for all. Dashing, I make my way to the wedding hall as I see Baekhyun and Seolhyun bowing to each other before they're officially married. I smile seeing Baekhyun smiling at Seolhyun.

"You may kiss the bride," a man says and Seolhyun's face becomes a little nervous all of a sudden. Baekhyun leans in and kisses her forehead. My heart hurts a little bit at this, but I push that feeling down and smile while clapping for them.

At least he has someone to live with forever, I thought to myself tears coming to my eyes. The clapping quieted down so I left silently. When I went back to my quarters Tiffany was up and faced away from me singing and dancing. Leaning against the doorway, I listened in.

"It's pretty fatal,

Your silhoutte that follows me,

Light between the spaces,

Makes my heart beat even faster,

More I push away, even stronger,

I want you more, who pulls me in....," her voice fades as she spins to me. Her face turns a light shade of pink that matches my skirt.

"You sound nice! Where did you learn that song?" I ask smiling.

"I made it up," she says shifting her weight side to side.

"Are you almost ready to go?" She nods and we leave through the door. Before we exit we bump into Seolhyun and Baekhyun talking and smiling, but when Baekhyun sees me his face hardens and the smile disappears.

"Prince, princess chu ka he," I say bowing.

"Thank you!" Seolhyun says showing me a perfect smile.

Push it down, stop having those feelings about them, I say mentally returning the smile.

"May I talk to you in private Seolhyun?" I ask her looking at Baekhyun's face. She nods and we leave to a quiet place.

"What did you need to talk about?" she asks kindly.

"I- um... I'm going to leaving the palace, and I want you to make Baekhyun forget about me and live a healthy life together," I respond looking at my feet. She lifts my face up gently to look me in the eyes.

"Congrats on your marriage. I heard you're getting married in April. Don't worry about us, I'll make sure to do that," she says holding one of my hands.

"I'll be leaving now," I say turning to leave. I meet Tiffany at the entrance. Before leaving I take out the whistle Jungkook gave and blew a mellifluous tune.

(A/N: Lol... Sorry I just found this and thought it sounded nice..)

I knew Jungkook wouldn't be able to hear it, but I did it anyways. Looking back at the palace once more, I remember my memories and take a step out of there.

I am finally free from the chains of this palace.

So... I am sorry for this chapter due to school.. I want to thank both @nrlaizaaleeyh and @Amieylieyn99 for their comments on my story! The comments helped serve as a reminder to keep me writing. Since Taeyeon is out from the palace is this the end?

I'm kidding.. It's not... I made you scroll down to read this didn't I? XD
