Stay with me

Chapter 29

Yewon stands on the edge of a cliff, she look at the sky for the last time and thought about all the time she was happy. 

Yewon: "Everything will end."

It was a bottomless drop, there was no way to determine how deep the drop will be and when it will end. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yewon: "If I was born not as a princess but as just a ordinary person, maybe I would of not hurt you as much as I did and maybe we could of even loved. I am sorry, Jungkook. I will meet you in the next life."

They say that the moment your life is ending, the person whom you love the most will be the person who pops up in your mind. The person who she has been avoiding and hurting is the person she loved the most, Jungkook. 

As she close her eyes and open her arms, she was finally free from love and despair. 

But when she was about to fall, a hand grab onto her and pull her back toward the other direction of the edge. 

Jimin: "MISS!"

Yewon: "Let me go!"

Jimin: "I do not know what is going on with you but why would you die? Are you a fool!?"

Yewon: "Just let me die! I want to die."

Jimin: "Then go die somewhere else, but if I am here, you can not die here!"

Yewon stop resisting and just simply sits down, she was tired; both emotionally and physically. 

Jimin went to sit next to her and sigh, "I am Park Jimin. What is your name?"

She did not answer him but just continues to look at the edge of the cliff. 

Jimin: "Miss, to be frank with you...I once was standing at that cliff."

Yewon look at him sadly and then  just stares at him, "Then why did you not jump? Your life would of been easier."

Jimin: "Let me tell you something, if you would of jump... what about the people who had died for you or loves you? And what about the people who in the future were meant to be with you? On that day, if I had jump... I would have fail my mother who had raised me and my father who risk his life to run away from his master. Not only them, but I would fail those who were meant to come to my life in the future such as my kids or my wife."

Yewon: "You are living for them, how can one be happy?"

Jimin: "That is why you make your life happy, you can not stop the bad things from happening. You just have embrace it, learn from it, and move on."

Yewon: "Embrace it... learn from it... and move on."

Jimin: "I went home on that day and I saw my mother dirty face along with her rough hands. She smile and gave me the last bun on the plate and I could not bring myself to tell her that I was on the edge of the cliff. I just could not, because it would hurt her. So, after that day, I promise myself to become a better person for her and the person who risk his life for my future. Somewhere in your life, someone had probably risk their life to save you in order for you to be happy with your future and do something great with it."

Yewon thought about Seokjin, the three guards, Namjoon, and even Eunbi. They all had risk so much for her, some have risk their lives and even their status to keep her happy. 

Yewon: "What should I do now? I have no where to return to nor a dream to chase after."

Jimin: "You can start today, you should be glad you met me! Let us go and plan your life!

Jimin grab onto her arm and start running down a small house in the forest, "MOM!"

A old lady came out of the house and smile, she starts waving at him to come and he lets go of Yewon to hug her. 

Jimin's mom: "Who is this young girl? I have never seen her before?"

Jimin: "Mother, this is..."

Yewon: "Yewon. My name is Yewon."

Jimin's mom: "Yewon? What a pretty name for a pretty woman like you, have you eaten yet? You look exhausted."

Yewon: "I am okay..."

Jimin: "Come eat, I know you are hungry."

After eating a while, Yewon stares at Jimin who help his mother with the chores around the house. 

Yewon: "How long have you two live here?"

Jimin's mom: "We have only been here for a while, me and Jimin travel around a lot to sell herbs and help others. Jimin is a good doctor."

Yewon: "Ah...I see."

Jimin's mom: "It is a pity, that he is with no father. He will always get tease for being raise from a mother who does not have much."

Yewon: "I am sure you gave him enough love, he is a good person."

Jimin's mom: "Yewon, where are you headed?"

Yewon: "I... I do not know."

Jimin's mom: "You have no where to go?"

Yewon: "I... am an orphan. I have no family, but tomorrow morning... I will leave to somewhere."

Jimin's mom: "Then how about you come travel with me and my son? After a long time, I do miss having a young girl around."

Yewon: "I- I am sorry. I do not have anything to give you nor do I have anything I can help with you. I-"

Jimin's mom: "I am old, I need someone around to help me with errands and patient. Also, I do need someone to collect herb along with my son."

Yewon: "Then... can I really stay...with...both of you?"

Jimin's mom: "You do not have to if you wish to leave."

Yewon: "No! I want to! I do not have a future nor anywhere to go, I would love to follow you and repay you for allowing me to eat here."

Jimin's mom: "Treat me like a mother, I had always wanted a daughter."

Jimin's mom touches Yewon's head and she felt warmth, Jimin notice it and smile slightly because he was able to save someone life and bring warmth again into her life. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jungkook woke up a few days after the incident, and he was in distress when he saw Yerin next to him.

Jungkook: "Yewon, I need to find Yewon!"

Yerin: "14th prince, you have chosen to marry me. You must not talk about another woman."

Jungkook: "I will find her."

Yerin held on to Jungkook arm when he tries to walk out of the room, but Jungkook push her away. 

Yerin: "14th prince!"

Jungkook open the doors but the King was standing there, his eyes were in rage when he saw his precious daughter on the floor. 

King:  "You dare!"
