Deadline-Park Jisung

✨14✨

He is the absolute cutest. Except for in this story. I hate him in this story.

Haeun's P.O.V

I'm kind of glad the girls didn't come back to the room last night. I've refused to come out since last night. I won't talk, I won't eat, and I've been keeping my mind busy so that Eunbi won't try to read it again.

They're happy so why would I want to dampen the mood. I decided to go out "into the town". I grabbed my things, along with some over night clothes since I was just gonna stay at Dongpyo's anyway and headed out, unseen.

"Haeun? You're back? Has it already been a week?" Minhee said answering the door. I shook my head no and walked in. "Did you lose your voice?" Minhee asked and I shook my head no. "You aren't talking, are you okay?" He asked and I broke out into full blown tears.

The other boys rushed into the room and kept asking me if I was okay. I wasn't okay, I felt dirty. I was violated by a man who was supposed to be my true love. What a bunch of shit.

"Stop touching her, let her breathe!" Dongpyo yelled since he saw how uncomfortable I looked with them ganging up on me. "I'll run you a hot bath Haeun!" Eunsang said running up to their bathroom. "I'll get you some soap and towels!" Dohyon said running off with Minhee. "And I'll make you some tea." Dongpyo said.

After my bath was ready I sat down and relaxed a bit and then I broke down again. I had never been handled so violently I just...

"I brought back up your clothes." Dongpyo said from the other side of the door. "Come in." I said covering myself with a robe and getting out of the water.

Dongpyo opened the door and placed my dress on the sink. I'll just leave these here for you then." He said placing them down. "You spoke." He smiled softly. "I did." I said back softly. "Do you...want a hug?" Dongpyo asked and I nodded, rushing to his arms.

The hug was embracing yet soft. He held me like he might break me if he held too tightly yet the hug held meaning. He was the opposite of Jisung.

"How long will you be staying?" Dongpyo asked. "I probably shouldn't stay over night. I've already been here too long. If the people of the palace are looking for me they'll surely start here." I said and Dongpyo sighed. "Well, I don't know if you knew but, we have a hideout in the woods. A little past the waterfall. You can hideout there as long as you need to and there's food in there. Not very healthy food but it's food." Dongpyo offered and I nodded.

It is now sunset and just as I predicted the knights came looking for me and first cent to the cottage. Dongpyo came to me after they left and told me that they stormed the house looking for me and that he explained to his brothers that I was the princes soulmate but the prince was evil to me. He implored them not to tell a single soul that I was hidden from the prince, and they all agreed.

I spent my whole day reading a book on embroidery I found in there along with some needles and thread and trying it out myself on my dress. I ended up embroidering a flower I had never seen before in my life. Something in me just told me that this is what I should have done.

"Haeun, I'm back with dinner- woah. That's really good." Dohyon said as he looked at my embroidery work. "Can you teach me how to do that too!?" He asked excitedly and I nodded.

I decided to teach and eat dinner at the same time because, well I was hungry. I knew if I ate that junk food in there I wouldn't stop until I quite literally popped.

"Down then back through the top Dohyon!" I encouraged him as he tried to draw shapes across the embroidery board. "Like this?" Dohyon asked and I looked.

"My my Dohyon! You truly have a knack for these things!" I said rubbing his head and he smiled back at me with pride. "Thanks big sister! I'll go show everyone else!" He said running out of the hideout, not forgetting to bring my dirty dishes with him.

I miss times like this, when life seemed so peaceful after escaping that hell hole of a home I used to live in. Not it seemed like I was in a new hell hole outside of this cottage with this family.

I wanna stay like this, forever. Forget completing that stupid bond, I'll just stay here with Dongpyo and the boys, forever.

Okay okay so maybe the lead characters aka Haeun and Jisung hate each other TOO much
