As if the noble that's infront of him isn't talking, Jungkook stares into the hallway where you and the king disappeared into. His eyes were glued on the same spot and Ella could feel the noble's eyes going to where Jungkook's eyes are so she stood up and blocked Jungkook's view to grab his attention.

"Your highness, it's getting late. This party will end soon. Can we get going?" Ella asked.

Jungkook snapped out from his zone and looked at Ella and then at the noble. The noble bowed, said his farewell and exited. Jungkook looks up at Ella.

"Apologies my lady. I think I am tired too. Yes, let's call it a night," he stood up and ushered his bride-to-be out of the ballroom and into her quarters.

At the same time, you and Taehyung stepped out of his office. Jungkook's sigh was so palpable that even his body relaxed at your sight. He knew you'd cry, how he wish he could be there for you. He took notice of your red eyes, cheeks red and

Swollen lips


His eyes wanders to the king and Taehyung sure have swollen lips too.

"Are you leaving?" Taehyung asked when they reached your company.

Jungkook just stares at his moving lips and seemed to phase out. Ella realizes it and answers in behalf of Jungkook.

"Yes your majesty. Me and his highness are tired," she said looking up at Jungkook who's jaws are clenched.

"Are you alright?" He asked Jungkook making Ella lightly squeeze his arm.

Again, Jungkook snapped out of his state and looks at the king's eyes.

"Yeah, we need to go your majesty," he bowed and rushed to leave, Ella in tow and in a rush to say her farewells.

Ella can feel it.

When they reached a safe place, she pulls her hand away from Jungkook's. He then turns around in confusion.

"What's wrong?" He asked her.

Ella stood there in complete realization. The way Jungkook followed you into the balcony, his zoned out state the whole evening, the way he followed you with his eyes.

"You love her," she quietly spoke.

Jungkook's eyes widened.

"Who are you referring to?" He asked.

"Lady Y/n," she said almost in a whisper.
