The Tales Of Time √

Chapter || 3

I thought you were my muse, salvation and love
But your lies proved all of them wrong

______________________________________

Kim Namjoon was distraught . The uprising on the lower lands has made him stay awake for nights. Thinking about all the possibilities, solutions and prepositions to end the misery of the people who were uprising and starting a rebellion due to hunger and desperatation.

He was emperor's advisor after all. He needed to think about all pros and cons and audit the decisions of the king. And he was loyal towards his ruler even though all he would get from him were rude remarks.

So now he was seated on the far corner of library burying his head inside books and scrolls in the hope of finding something that could help him.

You were pacing back and forth. Mind's a mess and heart beating faster than it has ever beaten. And it was just because of the two exceptionally amazingly handsome idiots who has willingly kept themselves on line for you. For a reason that was so unreal and hypothetical .

You were looking pretty. You've changed to hanbok as Hoseok said that it was deemed inappropriate to wear such reaveling clothing. Your long ash hair was braided into messy fishtail and you wore white and pink colored hanbok.

Hoseok eyes were following your form as you paced around .You looked beautiful. He could surely say you were the most beautiful women he has ever seen on this land. Now he too was starting to feel dizzy watching you as he sat there. Jungkook went to fulfill his duties and now you both were in hoseok's research chamber.

"Lady hye song everything's going to be fine" Hoseok chimed in.

You looked at him and sighed "That's the problem. Nothing is going to be alright"

"Lady hye song I think you have understimated yourself. You are unaware of the power you hold, the power that universe has given you." Hoseok looked at you. His eyes full of curiosity and bewilderment "The way you stood up to emperor not only for yourself but for us too , that just proves how much brave you are."

"That's the thing Hoseok. I might be brave but I am no magical" You looked at him "More than that I'm worried. Worried because of me you might have to risk your lives too"

You may always had have indimidating gaze and been an introverted bold person but you had a heart. A kind one. That would never watch others sufferings.

Hoseok heart swelled and something inside it stirred. You always left him in daze. He had seen women who would think about themselves first and would throw themselves at rich men. Who would not have an ounce of self respect and pride. But he had never seen women like you.

For him you were a breath of fresh air, the colorful hue he never knew existed. And now too seeing your kind heart that put other people before yourself made him even more adamant to stand his place not just because he wanted to prove his words but because now he wanted to protect you too.

You lowered your head down when a drop of tear rolled down your cheeks. Hoseok's eyes widen when you sniffled. He always thought you were brave since you came here but now looking at you he realized. You were human too and situation for you right now must have been overwhelming.

Whenever you had to face the problem of your mind you always ran. As Hoseok was starting to walk towards you from where he was seated you turned around and ran. Faster so you could wake up and know it was all a dream.

Hoseok's yelling voice calling for you could be heard but you kept running and he too knew that you needed some time alone.

As you ran and ran you stumbled upon a big doors which was ajar. As you went inside your eyes widened. Big racks filled with thousands of books stacked neatly. There were wooden table and chairs vertically lined on the side. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

You always loved books. Books were your paradise you could hide behind whenever reality were too overwhelming to through.

You slowly walked inside the library gaze moving to land on each of the line books. But one caught your attention. It was a blue covered book and 'Door to impossible' was written boldly on the front of the book.

You slowly took that and as you stared at it all the things came crashing down at you. The picture of same blue door you walked through in that club was painted on the cover of the book.

A tear escaped your eyes when you thought about how your parents had been doing. Another one rolled when you thought about mingyu. An ugly sob escaped your lips as you remembered how you've pushed the life of two boys in line, what you've left behind back at your home.

You cried unaware of the presence that was standing behind you. He slowly put his hand on your shoulder "Lady are you alright?"

The presence you felt made you quickly straighten your hunched shoulder. You wiped your tears not wanting a stranger to watch you cry. You turned around watching a figure of a tall handsome man who smiled at you as his dimples popped out making you want to poke it.

His eyes slowly widened and his smile faded as he met your orbs. You not wanting to have another color of your eye confrontation tried to flee from that situation when the man spoke "Why are you crying?"

The question shocked you. You were expecting a shocked "You have grey eyes" Or "Your eye color looks weird". But you definitely didn't expect this.

  "You can talk to me if you are feeling unwell lady. Talking to a stranger helps." He smiled again that would made you swoon if it were not for the situation your life has put you in. "I'm kim Namjoon by the way"

Truth to be told Namjoon was shocked. He never has seen a women with so beautiful eyes and intriguing hair. At first he thought you were one of the emperor's courtesan but he knew they would never dress modest like you . You were simple but the most beautiful women he ever has laid his eyes on.

Your cheeks flushed, nose red and eyes glossy. Kim Namjoon was pulled towards you at instance.

Your head started to connect the dots. Kim Namjoon ; the Kings advisor was a smart kind man . According to history books he was son from one of the concubines of last emperor. Maybe he was Taehyung's step brother. But there was not much about him written in books as he was claimed to have died early. They said he was assassinated.

You knew talking to a stranger about your problems was a bad idea but there was just something warm and inviting aura around him that made you follow his lead towards the corner side of the library.
