A Night-Long Lament

last day

(3rd Pov)

Y/n stays put on the seat, reflecting on the actions Yuna took to keep Jungkook for herself... Just how terribly greedy people are. She messes with the hinge of her shirt, thinking and thinking. Namjoon sees the anxious looks on her face and walks up to her.

"What happened in the dance studio?" Namjoon takes a seat next to her. 

"Just as I said. haha... Is it a dance studio? I had no idea. I was just wandering and I came across it." She gives a light chuckle. 

"Yea. it's a dance studio." Namjoon repeats in slight frustration with y/n question dodging. "So, do you get along with Yuna well?" 

He suddenly asks y/n, making her freeze in her place. 

"Yes. She's extremely kind." Y/n stumbles over her words.

"Anyways, you realize it's your last day to still be a candidate if someone doesn't pick you, right?" Namjoon scratches his head awkwardly.

"Yea. It seems I'll go home soon. I'm causing a bit of commotion anyways." Y/n shrugs and plays with her sleeve.

"Just because you cause a commotion, doesn't mean no one wants you here." Namjoon looks sideways at y/n and keeps his eyes there.

Y/n pulls away from his stare and scans the surrounding room. 

"I'll... take my leave." Y/n stands up from her seat and walks off to her room.

(Next Day, Your POV)

"Missus, please get up. We need to get you ready for the Chosen Period." 

A woman walks into my room and wakes me up abruptly. She helps me out of my bed and sits me gently near a tub, where she turns on the shower faucet. 

"M-Ma'am, I can shower myself." I stutter over my words as she attempts to take off my clothes. I quickly reach for a towel and cover myself.

The lady sighs and heads out of the bathroom to leave me by myself. 

~~~

I get out of the bathroom with steam rising off my shoulders. The maid still waits for me.

"Ah, thank you, Ma'am..." I bow to her, but she takes out a dress and spreads it out on the bedside. 

"Put this on, Madam." She bows and leaves the room.

I quickly walk over to the bedside and slip into the dress. I pull up the zipper and check myself in the mirror. 

"Mm..." I nod at myself and step outside the room.

The lady waits there for me but quickly leaves after she evaluates my clothing.

I walk over to the dining room and look around.

No ones here?

I facepalm.

I must've gone to the wrong place. idiot.

I pivot on one foot and try to walk out of the room. Before I can, I walk into something. I clutch my head and look up at what I hit.

"O-Oh, Prince Taehyung. I apologize." I bow and try to go around him, but he latches onto my wrist.

"Leaving so soon?" He keeps holding onto my wrist. 

"Ah, Yea... I went to the wrong place, sorry." He keeps ahold of my wrist.

"No, you were just early." He smiles and releases my wrist and dropping his arms to his side.

"Oh..." I look in another direction to hide my embarrassment.
