36. Alive

Hyung Jae's P.O.V 

I entered my room once again while feeling a little relieved for the first time ever since I had entered this hell- I mean palace.

Opening the door I was met with  Lia staring straight at me. 

"Where were you?" she asked. 

"Nowhere...I was just going around the palace to get my mind off things..." I lied.

"And from when does 'going around the palace' include your father's room Jae?"

"Father's room? No no...Lia what are you talking about? Why would i go there?"

"I don't know. You tell me Jae." she said with her eyebrow raised and arms crossed. 

"Lia I don't know what you are talking about...." I said and looked away.

"Wow. I didn't know we are going to start lying to each other and keep secrets. I thought we were friends...guess not." She said and got up.

She did what she had to. She made me feel guilty so that she can get things out of me which somehow works all the time. Those words and she has the words flowing out of my mouth instantly. Including this time by the way. 

"No wait!-" 

"So you're gonna tell me or nah?" she asked while stopping in her track from exiting my room. 

As if she did some magic spell on me, I found myself telling her every single thing that happened in father's room.  

She let out a stressed sigh after I was done.

"You know for a fact that Jimin would never let you do this right?"

"I know....but it's for saving someone I put in danger Lia....Someone who is suffering because he cared for me...How can leave his side when he is in trouble?"

She seemed to get my point and took my hands in her.

"Your birthday is in two days. I just want you to be happy...."

"Right...I didn't even remember" I puff out. Who wants to remember a day which is their birthday and their mother's death anniversary?

I'd rather behave like I don't remember it...

"Princess, the king says you can go to the prison cell" A voice called out from behind the door.

"Thank you for telling me. You may go" I replied and got up.

It's time to do some explaining Hyung Jae. I just hope it goes well...

He would understand right? Would he accept this kid?

If yes, a huge weight on my shoulders would be lifted off.

If not, I don't know what I'd do....

I was nervous. Very Nervous actually. Adrenaline was coursing through my body.

As I started on my way, I thought to inform Lia once.

So I went to the sick room first where she normally is.

Opening the door I saw her staring out at the evening sky.

She looked back at the door to see who it was. She smiled lightly when she saw me.

"I'm going to meet Jungkook...." I trailed off.

"I see...Best of luck. I know he would understand. You can do it! Fighting!" She said with a thumbs up and a cheerful smile.
