Regent . PJM [Completed]

i won't

[Sera's POV] 

Jimin and I made our way through the living quarters to the bedroom at the very end of the corridor.

It was dark. A pair of thick, double oak doors sat dusty and unmoving. 

Almost no one came down here, and the surrounding bedrooms remained unoccupied. 

I had never been to this part of the castle before. 

It was eerie. 

It made my hairs stand on end and a chill run up my spine. 

Jimin stopped in front of the door. 

"You don't have to come with me," he said. 

He must have sensed my hesitation and uneasiness as I rubbed my hands up and down my bandaged arms.

"I'll wait out here," I said. He nodded and went to open the door, but I stopped him. "Whatever he says, don't let him get to you. He just wants to rile you up." 

Jimin smiled and held my hand, "I won't." 

Then the remainder of the warmth in the hall left, leaving me alone in the desolate place. 

I was starting to regret not going with him. 

Suddenly, a pair of footsteps could be heard. 

What on earth was someone doing here? 

"Why are you here all alone, little one?" 

I froze. 

No. 

This coulnd't happen. 

I couldn't be alone. 

Not with him. 

"Oh, is that a way to greet your own father? Hm?" His face emerged from the shadows into the dim light. 

"Father, you're still here," I commented, giving him a courteous head bow. 

"Of course. I couldn't leave my precious daughter all alone in this foreign place, now could I?" he replied.

"Thank you for your concern, but this place is barely foreign to me. Your attention is no longer necessary," I said, trying to keep my voice stable. 

"Well yes. I assumed so. I am actually here to request something of you." 

I held my breath. 

What could he possibly want from me?

"Well it seems like I married you off to the right man. He just refuses to leave your side, doesn't he?"  

What is he talking about? 

"I will admit. I did fail in the past two times to get rid of him, but that's why I have you, my dear daughter."

Get rid of him? 

My father tried to get rid of Jimin? 

The man he so desperately wanted me to marry?

"It seems like bombs and flames won't kill him, so how about something a bit more subtle, but  just as lethal?" 

Wait.

Oh my God.

My father was the one behind all of this? 

I was speechless. 

His gloved hand reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny plastic bag.
