You've Got This

Your POV

"How are you?", I ask.

"I'm doing fine.", Alisha answers.

"Have you had anything yet?", I question.

"Not yet Y/N, I have some work to do first.", she says.

I pull her in to my bedroom, "Here.", I push forward the tray of fruits I've cut for myself, "Have some."

"I can't, I'm sorry.", she refuses.

"But why?"

"It's not allowed for the maids to eat in the presence of their masters and these fruits are specially for you, they're of the highest quality.", she explains.

"But I'm asking you to have them.", I push the tray forward once again.

She timidly takes a grape, "That'll be enough for me. Can I bring you anything?"

"A grape? Is that all you'll have?"

"Please, it was delicious and enough for me.", she thanks as she gets up.

"Well ok then. When you're done with your work, be sure to come here. I want to take you somewhere."

She looks uncertain but nods anyway, "Of course."

"Ok bye."

"Bye.", and she walks away.

There's a mere week till my nineteenth birthday. Everything is ready and there's no stress about it but the date itself seems like some impending weight on me. I won't be seeing Yoongi till before then unless it's one of those accidental ones. The more I just sit there by the window sill and think, the more the date seems like a heavy metal ball about to hit me. I quickly plug in my headphones and take out a book from my shelf. Time for some self care. 

Yoongi POV

Luckily, my older bro's stayed true to his words and sent me the number. I type it in to the keypad and wait as the phone rings.

"Hello?", somebody picks up.

"Is this Taehyung?", I ask.

"Yes it is. Who are you?"

"I'm Min Yoongi, you're my brother's friend.", I give the guy some context to work with.

"Oh, oh yeah. He called me and told me that you might call. What's up?", his tone instantly warms up.

"I'm fine. And you?", I say out of courtesy.

"I'm doing quite well.", he answers, "So what did you call for?"

"I need some help. my brother said you're not from around here.", I start.

"You've got that right. I just study at a university here.", he reinforces.

"I need you to help me run away.", I say it fast.

"Wait what?", the guy says.

"You heard it right. You need to help me run away along with someone else.", I say.

"No no, I can't do that. You're a Yang. And who's this other you want to run away with?"

"It's Y/N.", I reveal.

"Are you fine? You want to run away, and with a Yin as well?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm asking.", I say.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that.", he turns me down.

"You have to be able to do something. Like just arrange some transport and temporary accommodation at your place and then we'll solve the rest."

"I'm not a smuggler, I can't do that.", he says.

"What if I pay you?", I bribe.

There's a moment of silence, the one that tells me that he's considering the offer, "How much?"

"I'll pay you ten thousand.", I offer.

"Deal done. When do you need this does by?", he says.

Sweet the way he's changed so fast, "The day after our wedding."

"There we go, I'll be able to do that.", he says.

"Done from my side. I'll send the money in to your account on the morning.", I say and cut the call. Now to tell Y/N.

Your POV

There's a knock on my door.

"Come in.", I call out.

It's Alisha, "I'm done with today's work."

"That's good. Do you have a coat?", I question.

"I don't."

"Then how do you go out in this weather?"

"I usually don't wear a coat. We're not provided with one and I can't afford it.", she says.

I go through my cupboard, "Try this on and see if it fits."

She wears it and it seems to do, "Where are we going?"

"You'll see.", I smile. We both go outside and head to the stables.

"She's so pretty.", Alisha gushes when she sees Ebony, "I've seen you go out on him but never up so close."

"Out girl.", I guide Ebony out. I get myself up, "Come on."

"I don't know how to get on to a horse.", she frowns.

"That's fine.", I get down and help her on before getting up myself again. The first time I tired to get on to a horse, I almost got trampled over, in comparison, Alisha's managed it a thousand times better.

I take hold of the reins and ride Ebony to the secondary residence. The snow's begun to fall again. I get off and help her off too. 

"Here you go.", I give Ebony an apple.

"Aww, she's so obedient."

"She's a lovely horse.", I agree.

I take Alisha in with me to the secondary residence.

"Is this your place?"

"It is. Do you like it? I decorated it myself."

"It's really pretty.", she compliments.

"So what I wanted to talk to you about is...", I hesitate.

"What is it?", she questions.

"It's just that, I'm turning nineteen, then I'm getting married and then... and then I don't know. Everything seems to be coming at such a fast pace, I'm scared.", I admit.

"Y/N, you're got this. You're an amazing and impressive person, just set your mind on it, and this world is yours.", and it's those simple words from her that settle my heart.
