"what did you want to talk about?" asked queen park once they entered the library and queen jeon closed the door behind them.
"it's about this marriage," queen jeon said, "i think jeongguk is getting second thoughts."
queen park looked shocked, "second thoughts?"
"yes, i heard him talking to hani about it. jeongguk said jimin may have a different lover, are you aware of who?" asked queen jeon.
"i dont," said queen park, "but i will see if i can find out."
"i think i knew about this before hani," admitted queen jeon, "jeongguk had come to me a while ago about a problem. i guess he was talking about himself, but i thought he was able to come up with a better solution than this."
"what should we do?" asked queen park.
"i think we should wait until jeongguk tells us in person," said queen jeon, "maybe a party could help lighten the mood. after the party let us see if his opinion changes or not."

"did you eat?" jimin asked as he sat next to jeongguk.
"yeah, the servant just took my food away after i finished," jeongguk said playing with the end of the blanket.
"jeongguk," jimin said, "when you are feeling better there is something i want to talk to you about."
"i have something to tell you too," jeongguk said.
jimin looked a bit surprised, "you do?" jeongguk nodded, "but when i am better i will tell you." jimin nodded.
"prince jimin!" said a familiar cheerful voice, "you are back!" hani ran over and hugged jimin, "i missed you!"
jimin smiled, "i missed you too, how are you doing? are you taking care of jeongguk?"
hani nodded, "yes, i have been reading stories to him so he wont feel bored in bed."
"wow, you are so caring hani," said jimin, "when i get sick you and jeongguk have to come my aid too."
jeongguk was a bit shocked to here his name but ignored it, it was for hani's smile.
"jimin can we play now?" she asked.
"what about jeongguk—"
"don't worry about me," jeongguk said, cutting off jimin, "i need to sleep right now."
jimin nodded and followed hani out.

"what do you want to play hani?" jimin asked the eager little girl.
"lets play a rescue game," she said and pulled out two teddy bears, "this will be the bad guy," she said pointing to the green dragon toy, "and i will be the princess to save you."
jimin nodded, "what has the evil dragon done?" he asked.
"the dragon took you away from him. i was supposed to marry you but he took you away!"
jimin's smile weakened a bit, "where did you come up with this story?"
"jeongguk helped me," she answered, surprising jimin a bit, "what did he say?"
she looked a but shy, "i dont know if i should," she said a bit hesitant.
"i wont tell jeongguk," jimin said, "i pinky promise."
hani smiled and they locked pinkies, "he asked me what would happened if he didn't marry you."
jimin frowned, "he doesn't want to marry me?"
"he said you have another prince," she said a bit sad, "prince jimin, is there another prince you like? do you not like jeongguk?" she began to cry.
jimin eye's widened and he quickly hugged her, comforting her, "no, i don't have another prince," jimin said rubbing her back, "i like jeongguk. i like your brother."
hani hugged jimin, "that's good."
jimin hugged her as he felt his heart ripping at her words, jeongguk didn't want to marry him?

after playing with hani, jimin had went back to check on jeongguk. knocking on the door, jimin entered to see jeongguk was sleeping in bed. jimin closed the door after himself as he entered the room. he didn't want to wake him up, but be with him.
jimin went around the room, like he did the first time he visited. he saw the newspapers on the bookshelves then looked through the window to see the flowers. jimin then came to his desk where there were a bunch of papers scattered.
then he saw an opened notebook. jimin looked at jeongguk who was asleep before sitting at his desk to read the entry.
it hurts every time i see him. he can't be mine since he already has someone else. i dont want to break them or cause them any sadness. i just have to let him go. only then will he be happy.
jimin wanted to cry as he read the few lines. he could hear how heartbroken jeongguk was when writing. jimin looked at jeongguk who was peacefully sleeping. oh jeongguk, dont break it off...
jimin walked over to jeongguk's bed and sat down, "jeongguk, hurry and feel better. i really want to tell you," he said and creased jeongguk's hair.
