Sweet Heartbreak (Nahyuta x Reader)

A/N: The reader is a maid to Ga'ran in the palace.

Your Pov:

The sun had set and stars filled the sky. I walked down the hallway, wanting to get to bed. I turned the corner, only to bump into someone.

I looked up.

"Nahyuta...Please excuse me."

I quickly walked past him, not looking back. I made it to my room and plopped onto my bed. It was cold.

There were nights when the wind was so cold. That my body froze in bed. If I just listened to it right outside the window...

I took off my uniform and put on a nightgown. I turned and looked in the mirror. I flattened down my nightgown and sighed.

Nahyuta...

I hadn't spoken to him in so long.

Things between us were very ugly.

There were days when the sun was so cruel. That all the tears turned to dust. And I just knew my eyes were drying up forever.

But I refused to cry.

To give him the satisfaction.

I met him 3 years ago when he became a prosecutor. Then, like every fairy tale, we fell in love.

But it was not to be.

I finished crying in the instant that you left. And I can't remember where or when or how. And I banished every memory you and I had ever made...

I turned on my side, looking at the picture on the nightstand. It was of Nahyuta and I. We stood together in front of the main temple, hands intertwined. I remembered how warm he felt in that moment, how happy I felt.

But when you touch me like this. And you hold me like that. I just have to admit. That it's all coming back to me. When I touch you like this. And I hold you like that. It's so hard to believe but...It's all coming back to me...

I turned my gaze to my window. The stars were shining brightly. I closed my eyes, letting the memories flow.

**Flashback 1 year ago**

I sat in the courtyard with Nahyuta, enjoying the outdoors.

He was meditating and seemed to be at peace. Meanwhile, I sat next to him, skimming the pond with my fingertips. Nahyuta spoke, "(Y/n), is it blasphemy to say that you outshine the Holy Mother?" I looked at him, "Nahyuta? Wha-!" His piercing green eyes met mine, "I'd rather the Holy Mother strike me down for being truthful than for being a liar."

He smiled, "I feel that the Holy Mother meant for us to meet and for me to love you as I do."

I looked at him, "You what?! But I'm just a maid. I have no status." He shook his head, "It does not matter to me, but, do not breathe a word of this to anyone." I nodded, "I understand. And, I love you too."

**Flashback over**

There were moments of gold. And there were flashes of light. There were things I'd never do again. But then they'd always seemed right. There were nights of endless pleasure. It was more than any laws allow...

We had shared our secrets and held each other in our darkest times. He told me of his father and sister. I told him of my involvement with the Defiant Dragons. I was a spy sent to infiltrate the palace.

He only nodded as I told him.

Then, a year later, it all fell apart.

There were those empty threats and hollow lies. And whenever you tried to hurt me, I just hurt you even worse and so much deeper...

**Flashback 8 months ago**

I stood in Nahyuta's room, tears welling up in my eyes. He spoke, "(Y/n), I never meant to hurt you. I love you." I shook my head, "No. You don't. When I first met you, I knew something about you was different. And now I know exactly what it was."

I continued, "Was all of this a lie? Some kind of setup?! Because all you seem to care about is how she perceives you! You, you, you!" He looked at me, "Everything I've told you, every moment spent with you, has been nothing but the truth. How could I ever lie to you?!"

I bit my lip, "You're always fighting like you're running out of time. Like tomorrow won't arrive! And I can't keep standing by anymore. You've hurt me, Nahyuta. You've dragged my heart through helplessness and into abandonment."

I frowned, "And I've figured out that you can't love me in the way you say you do. Thinking that just saying 'I love you' will fix everything doesn't work, Nahyuta. You can't save this."

A tear rolled down my cheek.

"Just like you couldn't save Rayfa or your father! Or for the Holy Mother's sake, even your own mother-!"

I fell to the floor as he slapped me.

I stared at him, frozen.

He stared back, shock in his eyes.

I stood up, walking towards the door, tears falling and my cheek throbbing, "You can tell Ga'ran who I really am now, just know, I won't be the only one left to rot. Goodbye, Nahyuta."

**Flashback over**

I wiped away some tears from my face. I would never forget that day for as long as I lived. I had been hurt deeply and I'm sure Nahyuta had been as well. After that, we stopped all contact with each other.

There were hours that just went on for days. When alone at last we'd count up all the chances. That were lost to us forever...

For a few days, after the fight, I stayed locked up in my room. I cried until I decided that I wasn't going to live that way anymore. I totally ignored Nahyuta when I saw him. When I walked out of his room that night, I made sure to leave nothing behind.

But you were history with the slamming of the door. And I made myself so strong again somehow. And I never wasted any of my time on you since then...

Time Skip...1 week later...

I watched from the gallery as Ga'ran's guards aimed their rifles at Nahyuta and the two defense attorneys. At that point, I knew that I still loved Nahyuta. And that if I had to, I'd push him out of the way of that bullet.

But, thankfully, the trial ended with Ga'ran getting dethroned and Nahyuta showing his faith in the Defiant Dragons. I slowly walked out of the courtroom and into the lobby.

I needed to make things right.

We both did.

Nahyuta came out of the courtroom. He looked at me. I approached, "Can I speak to you, please?" He nodded, "Of course." I looked up at him, "I'm sorry for all things that I said and did all those months ago. I was just so scared that you didn't love me anymore."

He held my hands, "I'm sorry too. I was wrong to strike you and hurt you emotionally. You are my sun. Without your warmth, I felt so alone."

If you forgive me all this. If I forgive you all that. We forgive and forget. And it's all coming back to me. When you see me like this. And when I see you like that. We see just what we want to see. All coming back to me...

I hugged him, "I'm here now. And I'm not leaving again. Do you...do you love me still?" He pulled away from me to cradle my face in his hands.

"I never stopped loving you."

I leaned in, capturing his lips with mine.

We were together again and I never wanted to be apart ever again.

It's all coming back to me now...
