Jimin's POV

"Jungkook is clearly hiding something." After meeting Jungkook , I had directly reached to pay Y/n a visit. Well everything was going well until I chose the wrong words to speak. Bringing Jungkook under suspicion was a great fault in our conversation. And right then Y/n could only glare at me with disbelief held in her eyes.

"You can hold anyone in the suspect but Jungkook ? Seriously Jimin , this does not make sense. And we are forgetting the fact that he was ready to risk his life just to save me !" I could find myself being wrapped in that foreign sense of discomfort once she was taking his side. I knew her reasons , Jungkook was the first one to reach out his hands for help at the time when she needed someone the most.

But no matter how much I tried to make myself understand that it was nothing but only gratefulness towards a person ; that notion kept on triggering my conscience that why wasn't I the one to be the first one to reach out ?

And that hunch caused nothing but more mess reflecting within the peaceful conversation which was slowly arousing to an argument.

"We are not forgetting anything Y/n. You are the one who can't see the change. I went to meet him and he was acting anything but suspicious. That guy changed within a span of night ! He might not have any motive behind the attack on you but he is surely hiding something from us."

At that moment I didn't care whether I was yelling out my point and that only brought up another debate between us. "The main point is tomorrow's incident and you are telling yourself that he does not have any motive behind that . Then why are we pulling him into this conversation?"

" And doesn't he have a choice to say what he wants to let us know ? Maybe that attack triggered him , it can be possible that he might have lost someone close to him in something similar to what had happened yesterday. I should go and apologise to him but here I am talking behind his back !"

After her long explanation Y/n heaved out a deep breath , creases formed on her forehead , eyes held a touch of anger , only because Jungkook was brought under suspicion. This made me feel nothing but rage as well. How could she blindly trust someone whom she had barely known ?

The way she went overprotective towards Jungkook didn't help my thoughts and pushed them ahead to wonder whether she would ever react like this if someone was blaming me.

But oh well ! How could I even expect that when I was her tormentor once… that thinking made a sarcastic breathy laugh leave my gape. "You don't trust me even a little bit…right ?" This shouldn't have hurt , this shouldn't even bother me. Her trust , or whatever she felt towards me , should have never been important to me but right then it felt as if my heart was being tugged down heavily with weight.

I could feel the ache when she replied to my question. "Not in this one." She could let it out so easily and I just let my heart crack a bit on those simple words. Jealousy is a disease and I let it take over me. I didn't care what I was speaking next but I just wanted to be carefree right then and let my words out.

"You should never trust a person who can't even keep the secret which you never wanted me to know." I knew I was the one to bring those words out of Jungkook. Back then the matter was different and I was head over heels to know what was the reason that Y/n was found in her enemy kingdom.

Yet, right then I was battling with my thoughts , debating with myself saying , Jungkook still could have remained silent and never let us know . I was so much focused on putting him at fault that I wasn't even realising my liability in there.

"W-what do you mean ?" And the sudden weaver in Y/n's voice made realisation hit me harder than ever. Guilt ripping me apart for being such a sensitive minded person and let his rage of jealousy take over him. "I am leaving." I declared , somehow managing to keep my voice heavy , as I made myself stand back on my feet.

"You didn't answer my question, Jimin." This time her voice was stern, making me halt on my steps which I was ready to take. I should stop running away from the mess I have caused. "Answer me." I closed my eyes to take in a deep breath and calm down my anxiousness. There's no way I could step back from this. But the outcome was scaring me.

The tone in Y/n's voice scared me. The person who valued nothing to me once , whom I wanted to hate, was then scaring me. Her rejection after knowing that I was aware of her state , I wasn't ready to accept that. But this time I should really let everything go as fated and so I turned on my heels and was facing her again.

I regretted looking into her eyes the moment I had turned to face her. They held nothing but distress , waiting to know what I was aware of. Then my vision took a quick glance all over her figure and the way her hands were held together tightly , feet tapping lightly , these certain feelings which her eyes and physical movements were showing me , were an abuse to my heart.

It hurt to know that I had failed to gain her trust even though for certain moments , it felt that I meant at least something to her. But at that moment everything perished and I hated myself to let that happen.

With a deep sigh I finally told her the secret which she most probably would have hidden from me until it was impossible. "I know that you are pregnant." And suddenly all the emotions which she had held in her eyes faded. Her movements stopped. She stilled like a figurine. Nothing remained except coldness and a deadly silence.

"Jungkook was forced to tell me about this. I did it because I wanted to know everything about you back then. I wanted to grab onto a single weak point of yours so that you would be under my control. " I let out a broken chuckle , my words making me dismay my own self.

"I even thought of pretending to be good to you to gain your trust , so that we could later grab some information about Jeonju. To be specific I wanted to know the weakness of Jeonju so that Busan could perish that kingdom. But when I got to know about your condition , it reminded me of my mother….and I saw myself as those ruthless people of your father who took away a life which wasn't even able to see the shine of this world."

"Still I tried to not let that bother my motive but that night when you finally showed me your vulnerability , it made me realise that you are a victim of that ruthless kingdom yourself."

My eyes stung , slowly filling up with moisture and I didn't even dare to care about my pride as a prince. I didn't bother to break in front of Y/n , because this was the reflection of my sinful thoughts towards a faultless person. "But the moments where I was being good to you , cared for you were not fake. I meant each of them , meant each of my words and….I'll keep on caring for you-"  "can you please leave ?"

It felt like I was a kid trying to explain himself after doing something wrong. And I could feel the crack in my heart deepen once I finally heard Y/n's response. It was expected yet it sounded so unexpected, too much to make me remorse even on bringing up all this.

But at least after that day , whatever would be left in between us will not hold anything hidden.

I listened to her plea and without any more words, I took long strides and was soon outside the house. The atmosphere inside was clamped and too sound less but outside I had also lost the warmth which had surrounded me somehow inside the house.

It wasn't the uncomfortable heat of summer, it was the warmth of her presence and when I was ultimately galloping away from there it felt like the last time I was leaving from my then formed comfort place. It suddenly felt like I had lost a home of mine.

Now how to bring peace in between them 😮‍💨

BTW I CHANGED THE COVER AFTER AGES. LET ME KNOW WHETHER YOU LIKE THE NEW ONE OR NOT.

A short but a very much important chapter. Why do I get anxious while writing chapters with argument ? NVM , hope you guys enjoyed this chapter although I just now messed up the peace in between our leads.

And here's a spoiler , there's a lot going to happen in the upcoming chapters  😉
