Too Late || Book 3

two

suicide is the only answer to find jin.

"he said we gotta feel depressed about this, so think about your deepest regrets while we fall from this building," i said with my heart thumping so fast.

taehyung held my hand and stared at me deeply, "don't be nervous, i'm here for you."

eunha stared at us with full jealousy. so i let go of his hand which made him confused with my act. i tried to signal him with eunha and he finally noticed.

"you too, eunha-ah." taehyung faced eunha and took her hand too.

eunha cracked a smile, obviously she's about to die of heart attack staring at the ground.

taehyung held my hand and also my twin's, he faced front and took a deep breath. "ready?" he said, facing his front.

"and.."

—

i remembered black. no pain, just black.

i then, opened my eyes after i realized i needed to wake up. "agh, what the heck happened?"

"agassi, you're awake?"

"huh?" my vision got blured but after a while i started to get my senses back. i saw a woman's face right infront of me, sitting down, looking worried.

"are you okay? gosh, you scared me to death!" the woman said.

who is she..?

"sorry, who are you?" i started to sit up straight and she helped me to make sure i don't fall back.

"who am i? don't play around, eunbi-ssi." she said worriedly. "but i.. really don't know you(?)" i answered.

"omo— did you lose your memory, agassi?"

i looked around and saw what i was wearing, "HANBOK?" i said, touching my dress. "what am i wearing?"

just as i was busy confusing myself of where and what was i doing there, i heard a very loud scream.

i ran because i thought that that voice sounded similar, i got closer to where i heard it and i sneaked to look.

"yah! eunha-yah!" it's eunha.

"sinb-ah!!" she ran towards me and slipped easily. "careful there," i said, reminding her. she nodded and again to her confused mode.

"you must be confused about everything, right?" i asked, already studying her face. "hm." she nodded.

"i believe this is where jin ended up too."

18 BC, Goguryeo.

—————

"yah-yah, taehyung-ah!"

"aih- mwoyaa?" taehyung slowly opened his eyes, thinking all those were just dreams. as his vision got clearer. he suddenly sat up, "yah- what am i wearing?"

"HANBOK?"

"taehyung, chill."

"so this was all not a dream? yah- jin! it's all because of you! why did you gosh- tried to suicide?" taehyung asked. jin's cheeks burnt, and he stayed quiet.

"taehyung-ah, i think- we're on goryeo." said jin. after all he'd done staying in there.

"what? you must be kidding."

"for real, taehyung!" jin said it so seriously that it made taehyung finally believed in him.

"but how?"

"i don't know either. i think i'm just a rich kid here, living alone. and i think you're a.. prince?"

"aih— it can't be," taehyung said, wishing he really was not the prince.

"i think you are, just look at how you dress. and before i'd heard that people kept on saying that prince taehyung went missing." jin said.

"we seriously need to get out of here." taehyung suddenly stood up and went around the small room they were in.

"and also by the way, you came here yourself?" asked jin, hoping he did come himself.

taehyung's eyes widened. "sinbi-ah!" he ran outside and kept on turning and turning, hoping she would appear.

"you brought sinbi?! what?!"

taehyung grinned. "eunha came too."

"even eunha? wow," jin kept on thinking that his brother was a coward. just why couldn't he just came himself without bringing problems for the others?

"we need to find them."

—

"agassi! agassi! wait up!"

i turned around, and saw that girl i saw earlier. it seemed like she was my servant.

"where had you been? i'd been searching for you," she said, holding my hand.

eunha stared at me, confused.

"oh my goodness, i'm so sorry, princess." she said so suddenly, staring at eunha. "eunbi-ssi lost conciousness so suddenly, so i'm so sorry if she did something that's unsuppossed to be done," she bowed 90 degrees towards eunha and eunha widened her eyes more and raised one of her brows.

"sorry? princess?" eunha asked.

"the kingdom has asked everyone about it, it seemed like they were so worried you were lost. i think it's better for you to go back to the kingdom," the servant lowered her head while saying so.

and so me and her, we both went to the kingdom. although i was not suppossed to be joining her, but she didn't want me to leave her anyway.

so as we arrived, we were welcomed very much, well mostly they welcomed eunha.

we entered and each of the people which went pass us, bowed, bowed and kept on bowing. one of the servant lead the way to meet the queen.

the doors opened dramatically and we both froze as we saw the queen, sitting infront of a table while sipping a cup of tea.

"omoya- jung eunbi! are you okay? where have you been?" asked the queen as her sight finally focused on eunha.

the queen hugged eunha and didn't mind me. "and who is this? why doesn't she have any manners?" she said. i finally remembered that i didn't bow and greeted her.

"i'm sorry, i'd some— memory loss." i excused.

"she's.. my sister," eunha said, stupid.

"sister?! what sister, eunbi-ah? you're the only child," said the queen.

"i'm not jung eunbi, my name is now eunha." answered eunha, daringly staring at the queen.

the queen stayed quiet for a while and then bursted out laughing.

"great name for a future queen," she said, after a loud traditional laugh. "and.. eunha-ah, you remember that prince i told you from the other kingdom?"

"h-huh?"

"he's going to propose you tomorrow."
