they really thought they were discreet, but seokjin was actually listening the whole time.
"is it true seokjin? that you were secretly dating the gardener and made her pregnant?" the king asked, causing an audience.
there were a lot of people circling a certain room, making athena curious.
"what's happening?" athena asked, trying to get through the circle
"ahhh athena, the royal gardener. we have some business to talk about" heather said bringing me in the circle.
"yes it is true. i love athena with all my heart and i want to be with her my entire life, not adeline" seokjin confessed, causing some whispers and gasps.
"it is true that athena is pregnant with seokjin but we made the decision to keep it for i, myself cannot bear a child" adeline said.
the king and queen were making a decision.
"it's final. we will keep the child for the kim line to continue, adeline and athena has the same blood anyways. but from now on, seokjin and athena could not be together." the king stated
"that is absurd! i can no longer see seokjin again?" athena blurted out recieving stares
"it's okay athena, we'll go through this" seokjin assured, holding my hand "and the punishment you were talking about?" seokjin asked
"uhh..w-we discarded that idea" the queen said, obviously lying. but athena still believed it.

ATHENA ADAMOS POV
just as soon you sent the letter, 10 minutes later you recieved a paper airplane coming out of the window of seokjin going down to the garden.
go to the back of the backyard on 5 -seokjin
you have nothing else to do other than obey what the note said. the backyard is the farthest from the garden so it took you a while to go there.
you were greeted with bushes filled with flowers, you got distracted by the flowers that seokjin grabbing your hand startled you. he grabbed your hand and both of you ran out of the property.
"jin where are we going? we're not allowed to se-" "i know just be quiet, i have something to show you"
we were running (alexa play run by bts). you didn't know what you were getting yourself into but you trust him.
then you were greeted by an abandoned house. it was dark but the broken windows provided enough light through each rooms.
the wallpaper were teared apart, debris were scattered around the floor, the ceiling was wide and open
"sometimes when i'm feeling down or life just overwhelms me with problems, i go here to clear my mind and just listen to the town's music" seokjin said, taking in the view of the house
just by the outside, you loved the house. every detail, the way it was built. your eyes lit up in every room you entered.
"wow" you didn't know what to say, you were speechless.
"i know you would love this place. i promise in the future. when i'm king, i would change the rules just to be with you. i would build a house exactly like this for our growing family to live in" seokjin promised, staring deeply into your eyes.
"i love you"
There was a moment of silence, you could hear each other's breathing until...
music coming from outside..
"oh look, the town is playing music" jin said as you both ran to the balcony
"cura di prendere questo ballo?" (care to take this dance) jin said, taking out his hands making you chuckle
"mi farebbe molto piacere" (i would be delighted)

you were dancing for a long time that the sun was starting to set.
"let's watch the sunset" you said pointing at the balcony
~few minutes~~
"athena smile!" jin said holding up a camera
you smiled as he took the picture.
"i will keep this picture forever until the day i die" he said holding up the picture.

(let's all pretend she's not elle fanning but that's you/athena teehee)
~~
"have you ever wondered where you would go after you died?" you asked out of curiousity
"actually, no. i've been too focused how i would be executed" jin said
"what makes you say that?"
"last week. i talked to my dad about us dating and he said that there's a chance i would be executed" he answered
"but why you? your the next in line to be king. they can't kill you"
"if one of us had to die, it would be me. i couldn't bear to see you die in front of my eyes" jin said, holding your hand tightly.
