MY CROWN PRINCE | JEON JUNGKOOK

Episode 16: Farewell and New Beginnings

The two sisters sat in their room, gazing at each other with affection, both smiling. The room was filled with warmth and joy.

"Eonni," Minha called out.

Mina had her hand on her chin, staring at her younger sister without saying a word.

"Ne?" she replied softly, still lost in her thoughts.

"Why are you staring at me? It's really annoying, you know?" Minha pouted, rolling her eyes.

"Mwo?" Mina blinked in confusion.

Minha laughed uncontrollably, then pinched Mina's cheek playfully. "Yaa, yaa, Minha-ya, stop," Mina winced.

"My innocent eonni! I can sense that you were thinking about my best friend, or should I say... your soon-to-be husband!" Minha exclaimed, her smirk growing wider.

Mina's face turned bright red. "A-aniya! I wasn't thinking about Taehyung-shi," she stammered.

Minha continued to laugh, teasing her older sister relentlessly. "Eonni, I know you were thinking about him."

Mina stood up, slightly annoyed but mostly flustered. "How rude! Tomorrow is your sister's wedding, and you're here teasing me? I'm going out. Annyeong!" she said, bowing before rushing out.

Minha burst into laughter again. "Eonni, I was kidding! Yaa, come back!" she called after her.

Mina found solace in the garden, taking in the peacefulness of the moment. The sound of birds chirping and the gentle breeze carried a calming effect, making her feel one with nature. She loved these simple moments, and today, it felt like everything was perfectly in tune with her heart.

Suddenly, she heard a soft cough from behind her.

She turned around and saw him—the man she loved. His smile was as warm as ever, and his presence made her heart race.

Kim Taehyung.

While she had been lost in the beauty of the nature around her, Taehyung had been watching her, smiling softly. Their eyes met, and they both grew shy, standing side by side like strangers, unsure of what to say or do next.

"So..." they both spoke in unison, and they both burst into laughter.

"You say," Mina urged, her voice filled with tenderness.

Taehyung smiled and took a step closer. "Are you happy, Mina?" he asked, his voice laced with care.

Mina looked down, nodding slowly, and Taehyung smiled, content with her response. "I can't wait for tomorrow. We'll leave for Baekjae for a long period, but I promise we'll come back to our family soon," he said, offering her reassurance.

Mina smiled softly. "I'll miss Minha," she admitted, her voice filled with a touch of sadness.

Taehyung nodded. "Me too, but I'll pray that she won't face any problems while we're away," he said, his voice tinged with concern.

Mina nodded in agreement. "She won't," she said confidently.

"I hope so," Taehyung whispered.

Before either of them could say more, a familiar voice shouted from behind.

"Yaaaaaa! Kim Taehyung, we need to talk right now!" It was Lee Minha.

Taehyung sighed in mock exasperation. "Waeyo?" he asked, a teasing tone in his voice.

"I swear, I'll kill you with this sword of mine!" Minha threatened, her voice full of mock anger.

"I'm scared," Taehyung replied with a grin.
