A Night-Long Lament

Ending 1: Jin

(Your POV)
"Jin!!" You scream at the top of your lungs.

All the boys' heads whip around in your direction in response to your blood-curdling scream. Jin shoots up as soon as you call and pushes through all the seated royals, regardless of him knocking them over or not.

"Y/N?!" You hear him faintly respond from below. "Y/N?!"

He'll find me. He'll find me.

You turn your attention back to the King and begin to pry your ankle away from him. "Get the fuck off of me!" Pulling your ankle back, you launch it suddenly toward his face. Once you make contact, you hear him roar in pain and grasp his jaw.

"You bitch!"

"I know why you hate me. It's because of my father, isn't it? Isn't it?!" You challenge with an unwavering voice.

He guffaws. "He deserves every bit of it. He turned these children into tiny little versions of himself and it disgusts me every time I see them." He spits. "Especially in that idiotic Jin. Always so fucking dignified."

"Why even adopt them then?!"

"Someone needs to carry my legacy!" He shouts back in desperation.

"Yours should be forgotten." You utter in disgust.
Suddenly he lunges toward you like some kind of rabid animal. You flinch and stumble backward closing your eyes in fear what'll happen next.

Before he could reach you you hear someone burst through the door and exchange in beatings ultimately ending in a body thudding to the quartz flooring.

"Y/N!" You look up and you see Jin panting and covered in sweat. Your eyes then lead you to his hands.

His hands were clutching his Father's head of white hair which held onto his unconscious body. "Jin?" You murmur, slowly inching toward him.

Jin drops the King's body and runs to you with open arms. His body was so warm and inviting, you practically melted into him. "I'm so glad you're ok." He whispers into my hair.

"Is he?-"

"Yes. It had to be done."

"But the jail time—"

Jin shushes you and pulls you into him tighter. "The jail time will be bearable knowing that you're safe."

Your eyes widen in fear and you hug as if it was your last time touching a human being. At that moment, you knew what you wanted.

You wanted him.

You wanted to be with him for the rest of your life.

"I love you." You whisper into his chest.

Jin's while body tenses to the sound of those words. He doesn't answer for a while but soon pulls you away from him to meet his eyes.

"But—"

"I love you." You repeat staring into his eyes, sure of what you just admitted.

"Are you sure?" he laughs softly.

You smile and softly caress his cheek. "Always." You place your other hand in his cheek and confidently press your lips into his. His lips were soft and sweet and after a while, he began to return your kisses.

"I..." He pulls away from you. "I love you too." He says with a soft voice.

You fall into his arms and stay there, safe and sound for the time being.

"Killed?" Shouts Jungkook. "I didn't think he had it in him."

"Jungkook." Yoongi nudges him.

You nod your head slowly. "The king came in unexpectedly in my room and attacked me." You clear your throat. "Jin had just come in and defended me."

Namjoon nods his head with you. "Seems like him. Are you alright?" 

"Just a little startled." You laugh softly.

Taehyung comes up behind you and squeezes your shoulder tightly but with reassurance radiating from his palm. They all made sure you were alright while Jin was bust dealing with the police and the logistics of the situation. He had looked over at you and smiled gently. 

Yoongi comes up next to you and says quietly, "So, I take it you made your choice?" He looks at you, meeting your eyes with a sad smile. 

All you could do it give a small nod. You didn't know how to break it to them because you thought it would hurt their hearts. 

"It's ok, Y/N. I don't want you to feel guilty about choosing someone. We all want you to be happy, even though that is with someone else." Yoongi pats your back lightly and walks away as Jin strides toward you.

"Hey," Jin says with a bright smile. 

"Hey" You smile back.

He exhales and sighs. "I just dealt with that whole thing over there. My consequence is stepping down from the throne." 

You step back in disbelief and furrow your brows. "Step down? Can you do that in this circumstance?" 

"I guess so." He huffs. "I actually don't mind." He meets your gaze. 

Your face relaxes as you see his eyes. It eases your soul. "Is that so?" 

"We can settle down and just have some peace and quiet for the rest of the time we have together." He grins and he grasps your hand. "The abandoned orphanage! We can renovate and everything! We can even replant the sunflowers in front of the windows!" He says excitedly.

 You laugh at his giddiness and side hug him, looking into lowering sun that reflects onto the small lake in front of the castle.

"That sounds nice."

Wow, this feels surreal. I promise I'll get the next endings up quickly. Thank you for hanging in there with me and waiting for my return. I'm sorry it took so long, I was actually quite caught up with life and the swing of things. I'm glad to be ending on such a good note. Thanks for everything guys! See you soon!
