Luminous Kingdom | Jikook |

•Chapter 39•

Byeol, she can be rough with Jimin. She used to not talk to him a lot, however, Jimin was still the nicest person to her. His heart had a special place just for her, and forever will be just for her. The reason for that is because he feels guilty. A couple years ago, in winter, Jimin was closing all the lights in the house. He saw that the once closed light in Byeol's room was opened again. He saw that Byeol was getting scolded by their mother, he swiftly ran in the room, "mother! Why are you yelling at Byeol?"

The mother sighed, "she has been hiding money from us! I don't know what job is giving her the money, but we need to pay the damn bills!"

Byeol kept holding on to her old little purse as tightly as she can, she walked behind Jimin and stood there quietly. Jimin frowned, "Byeol, where did you work?" His voice was as gentle as possible.

The girl sniffed and never revealed it, Jimin looked back at his mother; "she'll quit her job, however, you aren't taking her money. Make father work."

"I'm not quitting-"

"Not another word." Jimin directed to Byeol.

The mother scoffed annoyed, "I need the money! Give me the damn money. Your father isn't going to work sooner or later, we need to pay the bills so hand me the money!"

Byeol started crying, holding on to her money really badly, "no..."

Jimin looked at his mother with disappointment, "you're not taking money that a sixteen year old girl worked for."

But, the mother did. She pulled her purse and walked out. Leaving Byeol crying, Jimin hugged her and kissed the top of her head, "I promise you that I will return all the amount, just tell me how much was it-"

"You're a coward." She said pushing him away, "you couldn't even stand up for me. Leave me alone."

Jimin looked down feeling guilty, "I'm sorry, but you quit your job tomorrow morning." And then he left the room.

.~.

Running to the top of the stairs, he then ran to his old room, it took him just a second to remember where it was. The castle, he despised it. He hated the smell, the Fae's, and everything about the Kingdom. Turning to the left, he finally found it, opening the door as quick as he can, he saw her. Byeol. His sister was sitting on the bed. He started tearing up, it has been so long. She looked healthy, but had a different feel to her. "Byeol, it's your older brother," tears starts falling down, "Jimin."

Byeol stared at him, no words came out of her mouth. Jimin walked another step forward, "I have no time for an explanation, but you will go back home safely, he didn't hurt you, did he?"

No use, she was refusing to talk. He stood there not knowing what to do, his precious sister that he hasn't seen for so long is not talking to him. "This time, I came fighting for you. Your older brother cares so much for you, you know I love you."

He wiped the tears away from his face, he felt Nolland's presence suddenly behind him, turning to him, "when do I return her?"

The prince's throat bobbed, "now, and never touch her again."

     The smile that Nolland presented seemed that he was satisfied, he got Jimin, and now he'll have him forever. Although, the high lord isn't stupid. He is expecting that Jimin has a plan to go back to the Galaxy Kingdom. Therefore, he will take matters in his own hands once he suspects Jimin. "You have my word."

    The knight walked in, but a particular one, a friend that he hasn't seen for so long, Haven. He made no eye contact with the prince, walking up to Byeol and disappearing with her. "You will be sleeping in a different room, unless you want to sleep with me?"
