A Night-Long Lament

(3rd person POV)

After storming off, y/n leans against her closed door and reflects on what she's just done. 

"Am I an idiot? Am I an idiot?!" Y/n grabs her head with frustration. "Why in the hell would you tell them off like that? Why in the hell would you put yourself in that position?!" 

Y/n bashes at herself, telling herself everything she's done wrong, putting her in her place. 

Prince Hoseok walks past her door casually but soon hears the curses from the other side of the door. He leans against the door with his ear.

Hoseok knocks quietly. "Ma'am? Are you ok?"

Y/n pauses her insults and puts her ear to the door.

"Um, Hello? Who is it?" She asks quietly. 

"Its... Prince Hoseok." He answers back with a soft tone.

Y/n quickly opens door to see Hoseok. She quickly fixes her hair and pats down her clothes. "Sorry, was I loud? I--" 

"No, I just heard you from the hallway and got worried. A Maiden such as you shouldn't be so harsh on herself." He gives her a warm smile, making y/n's icy heart practically melt. 

"I shouldn't have reprimanded them... I give you my sincerest apologies" Y/n facepalms and bows.

"No, it's ok. Jungkook and Jimin are exactly what you said they are. We're just used to their arguments by now. It's good you put them in their place, at least it stopped their quarreling for a bit." He laughs lightly. 

"You think so?" Y/n relaxes once hearing Hoseok's words.

"Yea. Jin is usually the one to tell them off, but he doesn't really do it anymore." Hoseok shrugs. "Every since--" He chokes and coughs. 

"Every since...?" Y/n repeats

"Nothing. Anyways, don't be so hard on yourself... Y/n? Right?" 

"Yea, how did you know?" She asks shifting her weight to her other leg.

"Jin and Yoongi." Hoseok nods.

"mm."

"Hoseok? Hoseok!" A man runs behind Hoseok, grabbing his shoulder. "There you are--" The man looks up at me and straightens himself. "Oh, my apologies." 

"Prince... Namjoon?" Y/n finally speaks up, bowing.

"Yes. I-- Wait, Hoseok why are you here? We need to go." Namjoon asks in a lower voice.

"Sorry, you guys can talk. Bye." Y/n leaves to look around the castle more. 

Wandering and searching, Y/n comes to a room furnished with mirrors and a hollow white room. She silently looks around and sees numerous jugs of waters and petite towels. Stepping closer to the mirrors, she gingerly feels it. 

"What are you doing in here? You're supposed to be in the common room." Y/n turns around but sees a huddle of 5 to 6 girls behind one girl. "You shouldn't have talked to my future husband like that. Jungkook is kind and humble." The one girl stomps closer to you and sneers. "You damn attention whore." The girl pushes Y/N into the glass making a cracking noise. 

"I'm sorry, I genuinely feel bad about it, but please restrain yourself." Y/n pushes the girl off of her. "Who are you to tell me I'm wrong anyways? You didn't see anything." 

"I'm Yuna! It doesn't matter if I saw anything or not. I know my Jungkook." 

"He's not yours. He's no ones." Y/n scoffs.
