The Prince's Unwanted Wife //Jikook//Kookmin//

十一

Jimin POV

Mother is not back yet but what could have took her so long. I waited for a few more moments but the thought that she left me here while she went to the dinner kept making me worried. I tried to fight my own will but failed miserably, I searched in the corridor but she was not there and I could not see any other person too since all of them must be serving the guests.
I do not remember exactly when did I reach the royal room once I was standing there I decided to enter. The guards opened the door for me and were about to announce my arrival loudly but I quickly stopped them, I reached inside and no one realised that I entered since their was a good amount of people gathered around considering how large and spacious the room was, I remember when I saw this place a few days ago when the decorations were taking place it looked so empty and now its almost full.

I couldn't see any familiar face although I was in the royal section which is quiet higher than the other one, probably because my marriage with Jungkook happened recently and I didn't get to see a lot of his relatives.Someone came to me and stood infront of me, the person was looking at me for a long time and it was getting disturbing when he kept looking at me from head to toe, I thought to leave but before I could he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. I tried to release myself from his grip but because he was too strong or probably I was too weak infront of him I couldn't release myself, he realised that and smirked.

"Ex-x excuse me!"

"Can you help me?"he said while he kept that smirk with him, this was the royal castle dinner and importantly the royal section where only the royal family and close friends can enter and there is no way he could enter easily considering the security was extremely high and they wouldn't let a creepy pervert enter this place at any cost so he has to be someone important.

"How?"

"I am unable to find the exit, I did not see you here before so that means that you just entered and that means that you know exactly where the exit is" It is right next to the entrance

"And why do you have to keep that daft expression while saying that?" He chuckled at this and flipped his well styled hair. Doesn't he know where it is, how did he come here in the first place

"It it's just that, your flawless" This time when I heard him I decided to play along hoping not to regret it later, besides he is also quiet good looking with his cute eye smile.

"Why? Thank you very much"

By the time I said that he already reached forward and took both of my hands with his cold ones, kind of reminded me when Jungkook held my hands today his were much warmer and had a safe feeling to them.

"The exit is towards the right, two steps away from the pole"

"Oh is it?" He said while curving up his mouth once more

"It surely is"

"Do you have somewhere to... perhaps reach?"

"And why do you ask?" He kissed both my hands

"Since you seem a bit too eager to answer my question and make me leave"

"I am just fulfilling my duty to tell you from where you depart the place"

"I see"

And he finally left. That was close! I thought he was going to spend the entire night chattering away. Now that the pace is clear I must find Mother since I have to stick close to her because I have to greet lots of royal guests today with her by my side. I searched but could not find her, not that I thought it would be easy. It was getting frustrating especially with the people you have to excuse just to pass through their large group having a good amount of wine enjoying the time of their life. The events in the castle were never vulgur, there is club for those type of gatherings but wine was an exception, though I have never had it, it is not that I do not like the scent or some sort but I have never seemed to even put in any effort to try it.

I had almost given up when I sensed a familiar scent, there is no way I was wrong about this. It is the cologne my mom gave my beloved husband as a wedding present. That surely means that he is near me and he is not that far away, I looked around me but since I was not quiet tall I couldn't see a face properly, I tried to stand on my toes to get a better view but still no luck. I was almost at the edge of the crowd so I thought to walk out a bit more, it wasn't the first time I attended a royal gathering at the castle I have always came since childhood but this time it was different since it is the first time I attend it as being married to Prince Jungkook, it might sound dreamy but that's not how it feels. As I move out a little I see him, I finally see him. The face I want to see everyday first once I wake up and the last face I want to see before going to sleep, is that too much to ask for?

I quickly wash away my thoughts remembering that we fixed everything between us this evening, didn't we? So there is no place for misunderstandings and secrets between us. We will surley have a new start, everything that happened in the past we can forget about it and start all over again right? Maybe even considering Mother's wish.

I felt like I knew no one here and now that I found Jungkook I will stick with him until I find Mother and he can even help me in finding her. I was about to make my way towards him when I saw an arm around him. It was a female, I could tell while looking at it and when I raised my gaze I regretted it immediately. Ofcourse, it just had to be her. Everything came back to me, them hugging, exchanging engagement rings, smiling towards each other, kissing lovingly everything, it came back.

What about this evening, what was all of it for?

Obviously I wouldn't go to him now or should I say them. Why? Because I have no interest in being a thirdwheel, I sound like I don't care but if you see through my heart it stings, it stings like someone just poured salt on my wounded heart. I wish for nothing else but to leave right away, I felt something wet on me and thought that I might be sweating but I couldn't figure out where the liquid came from until I touched my eyes. I was sheding so much tears without myself even knowing, this is ridiculous life is ridiculous, it's too unfair to explain.

I reached the pole somehow and was two steps away from the exit door when I felt a hand grip my wrist.

It was the same man from a while ago

"Excuse me, are you free tonight?" I tried to avoid eye contact with him since it will create a problem if he knows I'm crying with sobbing red eyes

"No, please let me go" I tried to push him slightly to release myself

"Then are you free tomorrow night?" I didn't reply hoping he would give up and let go

"How about a day after tomorrow? That sounds fine, why aren't you looking at me? Look here" He took my chin in his hands persuading me to look towards him but I kept on resisting

"Hey are you alright? You seem to be crying, you were just fine a few moments ago"

"Please let me go" I whispered loud enough for him to hear

"No way! I cannot leave such an opportunity leaving you crying on your own, you shall come with me to my abode" He said and my eyes widened, I do not have a good feeling about this. He took me by my hand and pulled me towards him

"No! Let me go!" By now I couldn't care about him seeing me crying continuosly, I have to stop him right now.

"Why? My place is better than here, It's much more quiet and comfortable for you to cry" I kept on trying to release myself but he wouldn't let go. I almost gave up by now, I had no more energy this day was already tiring and horrendous, how worse could it get?
