- LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR PT 2 -

I paced angrily in my room, with the door closed, the curtains pulled together and the windows shut. Taehyung sat helplessly on my bed as he watched me go back and forth, back and forth. 

"How could Namjoon do this to me?" I growled. "He said it was just another date! Now arranged marriage? How could Jin approve his?" Taehyung raised his hand like he wanted to speak. I lifted up mine and sighed.

"No, Tae, this isn't your fault."

"I know it isn't bu-"

"Taehyungie, please don't-"

"I KNOW IT ISN'T MY FAULT BUT IT'S MY BROTHER"S FAULT."

I stopped. Then I knelt down in front of Tae, my knees burying into the soft carpet.

"What do you mean?" I whispered firmly. He looked away, but I squeezed his hand hard. "What do you mean your brother?"

"Ji-Jimin is my brother."

I clutched Tae's hands weakly.

"No baby, tell me this isn't true."

I dropped my forehead against Tae's lap, silent tears running down my face. In the midst of my messy hair, I saw his eyes become glassy and calm.

"Maybe this wasn't meant to be."

I looked up feverishly. "No."

"Look, maybe this isn't fate. Maybe you were destined to marry my brother, get to actually know him..." His voice trailed off. "Besides, we've only met today."

I let out a desperate wail. 

"Tae, no, you need to trust me, I know, this is right, we're right," I touched his cold face with shaky hands. "I need you, I can't live without you, I can't live alone like this anymore..." I gazed off at the crack in the drapes, where beautiful scenery of a glossy white countryside and the sky bleeding snowflakes came into view. I swallowed the lump in my throat and pushed aside all the screaming voices in my head that told me to stop.

"We run away."

I stood up and tugged open the curtains. Blinding white light filled the room like a source of hope. With fully regained strength, I pulled out two large suitcases from under my bed and began stuffing them with things. Tae sat quietly on the covers, and he eventually smiled.

"For us," He said and began to pack too. For what seemed like forever was actually half an hour. We locked up the cases and sprawled out on the bed breathlessly, cuddled up in each other's embraces. I was so lost in Taehyung's eyes, the way they sparkled with such innocence...

"Your Majesty?"

I jolted up and Tae rolled off the bed with a shriek. The bedroom door creaked with weight and slowly opened, revealing a shortish, hazel haired boy in noble wear.
