The Painting || BTS KIM TAEHYUNG

Chapter 19: Love is timeless

I noticed a presence next to me after Taehyung went to check up on the horse after she started making loud neighs sounds. I stared at his wide back while he casually ran over to the white horse but a sudden soft voice draw my attention away from him.

"Do you know the story behind this Waterfall?"
His soft and soothing voice made me turn my head to him.

His grey bangs were a little messier than before, his eyes glued to the calm Waterfall and his full lips slightly parted.

It was the first time I had the opportunity to watch him closely at him and I have to admit that all these men in this castle were sinfully beautiful. They put a spell on you without you even realizing it, they will make you forget how to breathe, they make you laugh and they are able to get under your skin but at the end you know you can't be mad at them for making you feel the way you do, because they all are the Prince's we have wished for while reading those magical fairytales as little girls.

I shook my head and shifted my eyes over to the twinkling Water which was simply looking like a Painting which you would be forbidden to touch.

"Tell me the story" I replied curiously as I watched the water elegantly fall down the cliff and blend smoothly with the sea.

I know I saw this waterfall in my grandfather's room.
Another Painting which was connected to this castle.

I exactly remember how this oil painting was placed on the wall in the corner of his room.
His only painting which portrayed the nature and it's unspoken beauty.

I wanted to figure out how these Paintings were connected to the castle but I couldn't, there was no trace to hold onto. But I knew one thing for sure. there is a story behind every single painting he never told anyone about.

"A castle stood once near the fall. Chae-young, the daughter of the local Lord, was engaged to the noble knight Joon-ho, who was sent to the continent to fight. His absence made Chae-young ill, she would sleepwalk in his absence, heading to the falls where she met him in her sleep. One night he finally returned home, only to find her gone. He followed her trail and woke her at the falls but, in surprise, she slipped in.
Joon-ho dived in after her but failed to save her.
He managed to pull her to safety but she died after he dragged her onto the shore. After Joon-ho saw his love dying in his arms, his heart stopped beating the moment he lost her and they turned one with this waterfall. That's why it's called the waterfall of love. He couldn't control the lost time but he managed to stop the sun from rising the moment their heart stopped beating and they became one for all." His eyes were glued on the waterfall while every single word left his lips. I forgot how to breathe the second I have realized what he was trying to say.

"But what if he needed to control the time in order to be with her ?" I whispered shyly but he turned his head towards me while a genuine smile made its way to his full lips.

"I guess you missed something out miss Y/N" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as the smile on his lips widened.

"Love is timeless." He answered softly and I frown as the realization hit me.

"What can't be controlled by humans can be affected by the power of love" I whispered as I glanced over at the waterfall and held my breath while feeling my heart's rates increasing rapidly.

"What can be affected by the power of love?"
The dangerous deep voice sounded behind us and numbed all my senses as my heart almost jumped out of chest.

The sound of the fall muted and the ground beneath us almost disappeared the second I turned around and my eyes met his dark alluring and intense eyes.
