Ji Min begins up. "We are not three but five cousins in total. The eldest one are Min Yoon Gi and Min Yoon Ji."

"You mean they are twins? The king has a twin sister?" D asked him sounding curious.

"Yes. She was brave and active unlike her brother." Seok Jin added.

Ji Min continued as he nodded to Seok Jin.

"Next to them is me. Park Ji Min and Kim Tae Hyung and finally Jeon Jung Kook. Our fathers were brothers. Brothers who didn't share same blood line, but were friendly like brothers and they built a nation of theirs. The eldest among the brothers was uncle Jeon, uncle Kim, my dad and then uncle Min. The throne rightfully belonged to Jeon family. The ancestors of the Kingdom who ruled from long were Jeon family."

"Wasn't the age line opposite to that of their kids line? That means uncle Jeon was the King. Both according to ancestors record and age." D mumbled.

"Uncle Jeon longed to have a heir, but uncle Min was blessed with a twin. Yoon Ji noona took interest in sword fighting and all kinds of knowledge. While Yoon Gi Hyung loved painting and didn't take interest in anything related to throne. He is indeed good in sword fighting as noona, but he never used that skill to the up most. They were good to each other, maybe even for today." Ji Min said.

"So, Yoon Ji is still alive?" D asked.

Seok Jin moved his gaze towards me as he heard her. "Stop thinking like that. Not everyone was deceased."

"I'm sorry. The thought just hit my mind from the beginning that most of the family members were killed by the King." She conveyed her thoughts to them.

Ji Min continued without giving a comment. "Uncle Min wanted Yoon Ji noona to be the crown princess even though they have a male heir, but this wasn't accepted by others. The crown prince has to be the son of the King himself and that is Jeon Jung Kook. The Min family placed this request of making Yoon Ji as the crown princess to the King and the King easily accepted by placing one condition."

"What was the condition?" D asks curiously without taking her sight off Ji Min.

"The King was ready to give his crown and throne to Yoon Gi and not Yoon Ji." Ji Min stated.

D sighs and rests her head against the wall. "So this is how he became the King? The late King gave his throne and crown to him directly? The request was about crown prince, but the King gave him his everything? The throne and crown rightfully belonged to Jung Kook and not Yoon Gi." D said.

"But that wasn't it." Seok Jin began. "Even though the King had announced that the crown prince will be Yoon Gi, but he actually didn't mean it. Jung Kook was under aged back then, while Min twins were old enough to be selected as crown prince amd princess. And just as how Ji Min had mentioned this earlier that, Yoon Gi never took interest in matter of owning the throne, he simply refused when he was asked to be crowned. Uncle Jeon knew this would happen and that's why he kept this condition. By the time Yoon Gi wouldtake interest on this, Jung Kook will be old enough by then and the throne and crown, both will be given to him and not Yoon Gi."

"The late King betrayed Yoon Gi's dad so easily." D said to herself.

"What happened next? How did Yoon Gi end up being the King?" D questioned further.

Ji Min moved his sight over her book and found nothing written until now. Looking at this, he questioned. "Aren't you noting this down? We are helping you with your documentary."

"Do I have to write it down? The story is soo interesting that, it will be forever stored in my memory and since I'm involved in this, it will be more clear. This story needs to win an Oscar." D said excitedly.
