"so... I'm bonded with her for ever..." Jaemin suddenly said. Jeno nodded.

"She really cares about you, you know" commented Jeno. Jaemin knew it was true, he woke up in the depths of the forest not long after he was cured, in a flower bed, and when he tried to seat, HeeSook hugged him gently, whispering she was glad he was okay and saying sorry.

"I know, I care about her too, very much" smiled Jaemin. Even though he got burned, he knew it wasn't on perpuse. "but mom is going to interrogate us on why the guards saw us out the palace" said Jaemin.

"We'll need a good excuse" said Jeno. "a really good one" he added. Jaemin nodded, and started thinking. They would need to be in the same page, otherwise they would get caught.

Not long after, one of the guards came looking for both of them, they looked at each other and followed him towards the throne room. They gulped as they were outside. They entered and both bowed to the Queen in respect. She told them to rise and they did.

"Jaemin, Jeno, the guards told me you appeared outside the palace doors rather early, without a horse" started the Queen. "What was the reason you went out so early in the morning?" she asked.

Jaemin flipes, knowing it was his turn to talk. "We wanted to look around the city" replayed Jaemin. "We just got curious of what things were happening outside the castle" he said lying. The Queen nodded and signaled Jeno to go out, he bowed and then he did.

"Jaemin, I would have this pass if it wasn't regular" said the Queen to her eldest son. "I have seen your odd behavior, suddenly going out and coming back hours later, I want you to tell me what is happening" said the Queen firmly.

"Mother, I just go and take a break, breath, be alone for some time" Jaemin lied. "I need to take my mind off things" he continued.

"I understand, but you're the next king in line, I just want to tell you Jaemin, be careful" warned the Queen.

Jaemin was dismissed and when he was finally out he messed his hair. "shit" he murmured. He arrived to his room and closed the doors rather strongly. He jumped to his bed angrily and rolled his eyes. "ugh! why must she be like this?!" he said angrily into his pillow. "Fuck, I need to be more careful" he said sitting back up, hair a mess, clothes out of place, and a 'hating the world' face. He knew he wouldn't be able to go out for a few days, so he asked Jeno to go five her the message, and that they would meet in the same spot a week later.
