HIM THEY CALL THE CRUEL KING (Completed)

"This isn't good idea." Hoseok says,
"You said Yoongi hyung is suspecting you. Even after knowing all these Da Won is asking for a meet up?"

"There must be a reason. She sounded serious and worried." Taehyung replies.

"I haven't seen her being serious about anything. When is she coming?" Asks Jimin.

"She must be on her way."

After few minutes of await, D enters the inn with the help of her physician for support.

Looking at her foot injury, Hoseok speaks.
"That must be hard for you. I know you didn't expect for such injuries."

"Don't be sorry for anything Hoseok. I'm fine. And if it wasn't the case, maybe I wouldn't have happened to be here and receiving this hospitality." D smiles.

"Let's not waste time on any other discuss here after. We need to be careful. What is it that you wanted to discuss about?" Jimin asks

"But before that, where is Yoonji?" Questions D.

"Umm... It's better we don't talk about her for now." Says Hoseok

"Why not?" D asks curiously.

"We had to put her back to sleep. She was literally going to tell Yoongi everything all by herself. You know, it wouldn't work." Jimin answers

"Then what do you think will work? We don't have much time. And I feel Yoonji is right this time. If you all don't have gutts to face Yoongi, then you shouldn't have stopped her like this." D retorts.

"Are you taking her side? Even after being treated low by her?" Taehyung asks

"Yes, it's not because I don't care about what she thinks about me, but it's what she is trying to do now feels right to me." D answers.

"Do you have slightest idea of what could happen if this plan fails?" Jimin speaks in a pissed tone.

"Yes I do. And it's the only way we could prevent him from getting betrayed and hurt. Do you want to hurt his feelings? I believe, deep inside him, he is still your hyung. And I want him to wake that Min Yoongi up." Da Won says.
"I have no intention to disappoint you all, but this is the right way to do. Trust me."

"I don't trust you. I believe in your silliness that always leads to some interesting scenarios." Jimin says.

************************************
The whole day, D thinks about whether she should go try telling Yoongi everything or she should ask Yoonji to take that initiative. But she couldn't let this idea fail.

When she dives deep into this thought, she remembers what Ye Jin had told her.

"A person who could gain him over with words. Not yoonji not Jimin. Someone else."

"A person."
"Ye Jin talked about a person yesterday. And she didn't mention my name among those. Does that mean, she was indirectly hinting me?"
"No no. No way! How can I be that person?? Yoongi wouldn't spare me if he comes to know who I am."
"Then who else can be? Was she talking about herself?"
"Ugghh!!! Why can't I think of anything better?? Should I give a try myself? And there's no way that I can get another chance if I fail now."

After thinking so loud for hours, D decides to go talk to Yoongi herself.

It was after dinner time, D sneaks out of her room and starts to head towards the King's inn with her limping foot.

Physician Ye Jin spots her and understands what she was trying to do. For this reason, she tries to stop her. But D had made up her mind and didn't stop.
