"Why don't you go fuck off and keep getting puppeted by Taeyong" Ara snapped before walking out from the five of them.
Jungwoo wanted to chase her and comfort him, he knows that it must've angered her so much to talk like that. But he couldn't, he still had a job to do.
Sicheng flinched when he felt sudden hits by punches from Jungwoo.
Miyeon widened her eyes as Suho stopped Jungwoo from crushing Sicheng.
"You're so stupid!" Jungwoo yelled at Sicheng, still being held back by Suho as Taeyong stood in amusement, smirking.
"Why would you let that affect you so much? Couldn't you at least keep yourself from doing so?!" He added
"Enough" Miyeon said
Jungwoo had enough with Sicheng's behaviour. He knew Sicheng was strong enough to move on easily but apparently that didn't happen. He could've at least locked himself in his room for a few days but doing so and joining your biological sibling that is the ruler of your kingdom's enemy was just so stupid, let alone that you're also the ruler of your kingdom.
Didn't he realize how overwhelmed he made Ara? Didn't he already realize that Ara already had eyes for Jungwoo? It sounded so selfish but Sicheng's act was just as immature.
Sicheng stood up properly before whispering to Jungwoo
"Keep your anger to yourself, the end is near" He chuckled before walking off with Taeyong back where they came from.
Miyeon pulled the two out to follow Ara.
—
Ara fully explained on what happened between her and Sicheng to Suho and Miyeon as the four of them sat on the small hill located in the garden.
"I think I understand why the land is so important to both kingdoms" Miyeon suddenly spoke making everyone turn to her
"What do you mean?" Ara asked
"The land that the two kingdoms are fighting for. That land has had so many histories in it, like where hundreds of the most powerful gods and goddesses lived, people believed that their powers still lie there.
I've also found out that Taeyeon was forced to marry Taeyong's father resulting to Taeyong himself but the man she loved was Jungwoo's father. Taeyong's father found out about it and kicked Taeyeon out while she still carried Sicheng. She went to live in Baekhyun's Kingdom, Baekhyun gladly accepted her once again resulting to Jungwoo after Sicheng was born as Baekhyun's son" Miyeon replied
"Anyways back to the land, Taeyeon owned the land and the reason that they're fighting for it is for wanting to gain the power that the land contained and that both kingdoms have right to own so. Taeyong's Kingdom legally owns the land while Jungwoo's Kingdom owns the land as Taeyeon herself said" She added
Ara let the information enter her brain while relaxing at the same time.
The four of them spent a few hours trying to calm their mind down after every occurrence that had happened these past few days.
Ara sighed
"I guess most of this are my fault" She said, leaning her back on the right side of the tree
"If I wasn't here, Sicheng and Jungwoo would've still been together and the fight wouldn't have gotten worse" She sighed, realizing every word she said were right
"That's not true. At some point, it would still happen and it's better that we met you" Jungwoo said who was leaning his back on the back part of the tree
"He's right. Not because every problem occurred when you appeared, doesn't mean they were your fault. Every body has a part in situations like this and they could've controlled themselves" Miyeon said who was leaning on the front part of the tree
Suho inhaled deeply before speaking
"Problems always occur in one's life. If you were there when the problem happened and blame yourself, it's understandable. You think that it would've been better without you but if you weren't there in the first place. The person would experience the problem in a different way without your help which would be harder" He explained
"So please, don't blame yourself. I feel bad, you're like my little sister" Suho pleaded
Ara sighed
"Let's just try to enjoy this peaceful place" She said earning consent from the others
The four spent the rest of the day taking a rest under the tree. Ara still felt overwhelmed.
Did Sicheng already act like that way before she appeared here or was it because of what she did to him?
Ara sighed once again.
"This moment is supposed to be peaceful. Don't let it consume you, Ara" she mumbled to herself before leaning her head back and closing her eyes, joining the others in their slumber.
