Love?

How could I love him? He is just a friend- I guess it was my fault for asking but I never expected that answer. 

Yuna doesn't know what she's talking about- Yoongi is just a friend. I hope...

Two hours had pasted since dinner. I was just about to go upstairs but Yuna stopped me. "Your majesty-" She smiled at me and bowed. "The queen wanted me to inform you that you have to be up at 8:00 am sharp- any later and she will make the announcement herself." I didn't really pay attention to what she said- at least it wasn't urgent and didn't make me feel uneasy. The only thing on my mind was Him...

"Yuna... What I asked you yesterday, about love...That stayed between us correct?"  I could only imagine what my mother would do if i was catching feelings- for a guy- to make it worse, that guy that is locked up in the cellar. 

I knew the day would come when I would be presented with a girl from another town- a princess or young queen. I would be forced to marry her and live a 'happy' life. Somethings just should never be said- me wanted Yoongi in my happy life is one of them.

She looked at me and nodded. "And Yoon- The kid in the cellar- Did my mother bring up when he will be let out?" Once again she nodded- "Ah, yes your mother said he should be out by next week but his family will suffer." I choked on my saliva. "S-suffer?" I managed to ask. I was going to ask her to elaborate but-

"Yuna-" I heard my mother call out. Before she left I grabbed her arm. "Get me the key-" I sighed, "Thats an order."

At around midnight I left my room. I peeked over the railing and saw the guards were fast asleep next to the cellar stairs. 

Perfect.

I looked down at the golden key in my hand. I quietly made my way downstairs and walked carefully to the cellar stairs. I felt myself holding my breath as walked past the guards. I smiled but that soon faded as I saw Yoongi chained up. I made my way to him only to be greeted by his closed eyes. Doing this could go one of two ways- He could 1- Scream or 2. Be nice and not really know of his surroundings. 

I tapped his shoulder and his eyes fluttered open. Out of instant i put a hand over his mouth and a finger to my lips showing his to be quiet. His eyes widened but I saw how he relaxed after his eyes adjusted to the darkness and he saw it was me. 

I removed my hand and waved the key infant of him. He flashed his gummy smile and I undid the chains. "Long time no see." He joked and i chuckled a bit. 

"We have to be very quiet! Do you hear me- Make a sound and we are both in serious trouble." 

"Where are we going?" He asked me looking around. 

"You'll see." Was all I said and i lead him out of the cellar. Yoongi almost kicked on the guards- He also almost tripped on the stairs. He only shot me a glare before pushing me. As we made our way down the hall that led to my room, Yoongi stopped walking. 

"Hobi, I don't know if you know but I'm in deep shit right now- I can't afford to get into any more trouble. The snake you call a mother is threatening my family. If this is going to get us caught or in trouble, tell me now. You unchaining me was a big mistake already." I felt my heart ache at his words. 

Do you not want to be with me...

"Don't worry, I plan on having you as my guard and then you can get the money to help your family- Then..." I stopped. "-Then you won't have to worry anymore..."

My heart told me to say that but my mind told me to tell him something different. "Yea...Once i get the money I won't worry. Everything will be perfect." Is he only doing it for the money? Is this what one-sided....love feels like?

I kept a smile on my face and tried to think positive- He would be helping his family- thats all that matters. As long as he's happy- I'm happy. 

I just hope he doesn't see through me-

I finished arranging my bed and tried not to make anything look sketchy if someone comes into my room, finally, I moved to the window. "It's not that far of a fall- You won't die." I assured him as I opened the window. "Jung Hoseok- This is insane!" Yoongi protested. I stepped onto the edge and looked down. Yoongi stood next to me and I could tell he didn't want to jump- In fact he stated that he didn't want to jump... he made it clear. "Im not doing it- Nope." "Yoon-" "You can't even see the ground!" He whisper-shouted. I only laughed and jumped.

I got to my feet. My Legs hurt a bit but i walked off the pain. "Come on Yoongi. Its like a foot drop." I tried to tell him. "If i can see you clearly- then it not that bad."

"You can see me?" He asked and i sighed loudly. "Yes, now jump!" "You owe me Hobi!" Were his last words and there he laid, on the ground. "Way to go..." I told him and i think he mumbled something but the grass muffled it. 

I kinda thought he was dead or badly injured as he didn't move. Then I heard soft snores- "Min Yoongi!" I shouted as i hit him on the head. He flinched and cursed me out as he got to his feet.

Somehow- we made it past the gates- "I thought we could visit you family." I told him and he only laughed. "Hobi- it's like 1 am- they aren't up and I'm not rude enough to wake them." "Plan B it is-" I said and grabbed his hand. Our fingers laced together as I ran through town. Never have I been so glad to be in front of him were he can't see me because wow- My face was on fire. 

I ran into the wood with Yoongi's hand still in mine. He never let go- He only tighten his grip as I laughed. "Keep up!" I yelled and laughed. I glanced behind me for a second and caught a glimpse of his smile. My legs got weak as he laughed and I felt butterflies in my stomach- 

We reached the meadow but i didn't stop- I kept running. Our hands were basically glued together and all I did was smile. 

I slowed down and so did Yoongi. We walked until we reached a stream. "Beautiful-" I sang. I looked down at the rocks that lined the stream and out of the corner of my eye, I saw it. Our hand were still locked together. I couldn't help but smile. "So- why'd you bring me here?" Yoongi suddenly asked.

"Simple." I felt empt as  let go of his hand. My body hit the ground and my eyes drifted towards the sky. "Star gazing" I smiled and looked up at him. He never did look at me but, sat down right next to me. I tugged at his sleeve and he laid down in the grass. I watched the stars as if they would move, I let out a sigh and tilted my head back My hands hung above my head and my eyes shut. I was about to let sleep take over until I felt a hand in mine. I looked over at Yoongi but once again- he never looked back.

 "M-my hand was cold." Was all he said.

 A smile made its way to my face as I turned on my side. I inched closer to Yoongi and draped my arm over him. I felt so safe next to him. Our hands were locked together above us and I laid my head on his chest.

His heartbeat was so soothing to listen to. It was so calming.  I drifted to sleep with one thing in mind- 

Yuna's words- "thats called love, your majesty!"

Maybe this is love-
