~Jungkook's P.O.V~

    

     'What is this? A historical drama?Is this what they say 'Irony of life?' My mind had gone blank. I couldn't think straight. 

"You two know each other?" Asked Hoseok hyung, being surprised. 

I didn't hear what he said as I was busy glaring at the girl. So much for not meeting her ever. I internally rolled my eyes. Of all the girls present here, she had to be the daughter of the merchant? I absolutely, in no circumstance, am going to marry her. The day couldn't get any worse. But I spoke too soon. 

"Yes, we do. I met pervert... I mean prince Jungkook at the market the other day." She was spitting fire and glaring at me with those fox eyes of her. 

'I wonder how they will look while begging me.... Get yourself together Jeon Jungkook!Don't get swayed by this deadly creature.' I shook my head to get myself out of that trance. 

"Pervert? Did I hear it correctly?" Father looked at me with narrow eyes and asked me, "Son, what exactly did you do to this young lady that she thinks that you're a pervert?" 

I was about to open my mouth and clear the misunderstanding but she beat me to it. 

"With all due respect Your Majesty, allow me to explain. You see, a few days ago at the market this..... prince had put his hand under my skirt. That is why I called him a pervert." She ended her words with a bow. 

Well, that was straight forward. I didn't think she would say it like that. I could see all their shocked faces. 'Father is going to kill me.' 
         
           
       
~Author's P.O.V~
          
         
         
They were all so shocked that their eyes were about to pop out. Nobody thought that the prince could do something like that. 

But king Jin's expression said otherwise. He leaned into Hoseok and whispered, "Well, thank god! I was starting to think he was gay." 

"Me too," Hoseok replied nodding. 

"It's a misunderstanding! I was picking the apple but it happened to go under her dress. I didn't do it on purpose." Jungkook was getting more and more trusfrated by the time. 

They both were glaring at each other like the other one was a prey. After a pregnant pause someone decided to speak up to avert the awkward situation. 

"Well, how about you two go to the lake side and solve whatever problem you have. You can get to know each other better this way," king Jin said with a million dollar smile flashing on his plump lips and pushed them to the corridors. Oh, did he have something in mind?

~YN's P.O.V~
     
           
      
'I can't believe father actually agreed with the king. How can he send me with this pervert?' I didn't know why father did that but I was enjoying the view. 

Price Jungkook was walking in front of me. He had a sturdy back and by the look of his hands, I could say that he had great muscles. His hair was in a high ponytail and a big sword on his waist. I stopped myself from thinking how it would feel to glide my hands on his muscles. 
       
         
By the time we reached the lake my mouth was fully open. The lake was surrounded by a garden. Lotus flowers were drifting on the water. I could see the full moon in the calm water. I could live here forever. 

Then my eyes met Jungkook's. He was staring at me. His black doe eyes held emotions that I couldn't understand. 

"I'm sorry for what happened at the market. But I swear it wasn't my intention," Jungkook said with desperation in his eyes. I could say that he was really sorry. 

"It's ok. I'm....also sorry. I accused you without proper thinking. I'm also sorry that I said all that in front of the king. I bet he might be disappointed in you." 

I really shouldn't have said that because Jungkook's expression said he got hurt. 

"It's ok. He doesn't have time for such puny matters." Was the father-son relationship not good? 

"If you don't mind me asking may I know why?" 

Jungkook didn't say anything so I took it as he didn't want to tell me. We stood there silently, me watching the lake, he staring at the sky. Suddenly he started.   

"I'm the son of a concubine. At first I thought that he was cold towards me and Jimin because of it. But when Taehyung also had the same treatment we understood that we didn't matter much to him. The country came first," he sighed. 

After a pause he started again, "I was raised by Hoseok hyung, Taehyung by Master Yoongi and Jimin by our Royal uncle Namjoon. Father spent all his time taking care of the country and its people. It's not his fault though. As a king he had to make many sacrifices....." he trailed off. 

"I'm sure he loves you all. He just doesn't show it...... Do you want to go inside? It's cold here." 
           
        
         
        
We both went back inside. The celebration was starting. A man with long white hair and deep blue eyes caught my attention. He didn't look old. He wore a white robe. His skin  was as white as milk. Was he a deity? 

After the celebration many people presented luxurious gifts to the king. Jungkook had given him a sword designed with red and gold rubies. So typical of him. 

He had also introduced me to his brother, Prince Taehyung. He was a very charming man with eyes that always smiled. As we were talking, the king came to us with Sir Hoseok and that white haired man. 

"You two seem quite acquainted. Did you solve your problem?" Asked king Jin. 

"Yes, father, we did. Are you returning to your chambers?" Asked Jungkook.  

"Yes. Oh, miss Kang YN, I hope you had a wonderful night here and meet this person, Master Yoongi. He is an astrologer and the royal physician. This extraordinary man can see the future in his sleep," the king exclaimed with a proud tone. 

I looked at him and found him returning my gaze with a frown. 

"Sleep? Yes. Seeing the future? No," Jungkook mumbled beside me earning a chuckle from me. 

"So master, have you seen father's future yet?" Asked Jungkook with a hint of taunt. 

"No, I haven't," replied Master Yoongi looking straight at Jungkook with his head held high before turning his head towards me. He narrowed his eyes and said, "But I did see something interesting."
