I'm Still Me ✔︎

"So now I need to go to the slums and buy that tea." Y/n nodded to herself and walked calmly through the town. She had already bought Hoseok a gift and it was a pendant made from wood.

The pendant was a sun shaped one. There was a smily face in the middle that's specially engraved by Y/n. The sun pendant caught her eyes and immediately thought of the shadow guard so she immediately bought it. After staring at the pendant for a while, she felt that something was missing then borrowed a tool from the seller and engraved a smily face herself. Right after putting the face, she immediately felt satisfied at her gift.

The pendant now lies inside her pocket as she peacefully strolls. The slums weren't that far that's why she's taking her time despite the fact that she said she'll try her best on coming home earlier. Jungkook never return at night time and only in the morning because he was afraid of disturbing her sleep. That's what he said.

There weren't much people this time compared to her last escapade.

Seeing that there were still numerous of street foods, Y/n's eyed lit up. She haven't been able to eat them for a long time. Last time that she tried to eat them, she met Taehyung and was distracted.

Upon remembering Taehyung, Y/n felt lost. Even though it irritates her that the man stole from her, she's worried as to why the man did it.

If he had enough money to survive, she's sure that he wouldn't resort to this kind of thing.

Her friend Namjoon was a robber before. He stole from her but she caught him immediately, found out that he was an orphan and had nothing to survive then ended up taking him in her wings.

Just when she was about to continue her thoughts, a hand grabbed her own and dragged her away. Before Y/n could comprehend it, her legs started to run to catch up with the man who dragged her.

"What the he- Taehyung?!" she yelped when the man accelerated suddenly. "Why are you dragging me?!" she yelled at him and looked behind her to see three men going after them.

Taehyung didn't answer and proceeded to drag her away. He didn't really mean to take her with him but he doesn't know the time when he'll see her again. He had to grasp this opportunity even though he was being chased by a noble as of right now.

Taehyung couldn't help but take notice of the soft hands that was engulfed by his own. Yin's hand was much more smaller than him. It's pale and too soft for a man's hand. He couldn't help but adore the way Yin's feminine hand fit onto his own.

Before his mind could drift away more, Taehyung shook his head and scolded himself for the ridiculous thoughts.

'What the- Am I gay?'

Jimin panicked when a man suddenly dragged Y/n away. He had been following her since the beginning and was surprised at her own disguise. She could pass as a young male noble and can even beat his own visuals.

Now, he had his eyes dead set on the two, keenly following them but also keeping a distance. He figured out that the man was chased by three nobles and had brought Y/n on his way. If some foul play happened, he'll just quickly take Y/n and go away. He can't let anything happen to her right now.

While following Y/n's figure, Jimin couldn't help but feel a burning stare on his body. He immediately turned his head around, his sharp eyes trying to find that someone who was gazing at him. Not too long after, a pair of eyes met his own. He was a shadow guard that was observing them at the roof.

Seeing the familiar silhouette of this shadow guard, Jimin immediately concluded his identity.

It was the emperor's shadow guard. Probably sent by Jungkook to spy on Y/n and make sure that she's safe.

As far as he knew, this shadow guard is named Namjoon. Jimin might just be a son of a normal noble but he had a lot of connections. If he wants an important information, he could just flick his hands and he would have it at the end of the day.

If he isn't wrong, this Namjoon is the same guy Y/n had saved before. Y/n begged the empress dowager to take care of him in which was the empress dowager was more than willing to do so.

Unfortunately, Namjoon wouldn't just stay obediently at the empress dowager's manor. He personally seeked out the emperor to be trained as one of his guard and begged to let him protect Y/n in his own way.

Y/n didn't knew that the innocent little brother, the one who would greet her with his charming smile and dimples, the one who would call her noona with a sweet tone, had been killing people just for her.

"Just- why did you drag me with you?" Y/n wheezed as she tries to catch her breath from all of that running.

They both ended up on an alleyway where they could hide for a moment, until those nobles walk away.

"I-i need to apologise." Taehyung blurted out, his own hands resting on his knees as he also catch his breath.

"What? For stealing?" Y/n answered. She could see the male's ears turning red from his own guilt. "You don't need to apologise. I suppose that there's a reason for it." Y/n smiled gently.

Taehyung looked at her with bewildered eyes.

"You- you are supposed to be angry at me." Taehyung said with a questioning tone.

"And I don't want to." Y/n yawned and looked at him.

"But-" Taehyung halted after hearing some voices.

"Go this way while I go through that one. Make sure that you'll catch him." a deep ragged voice was heard.

Knowing that there's only two ways, one leading away and one leading to them, the two panicked.

Taehyung didn't spared any minute and yanked Yin's ponytail and let Yin's hair down. Taehyung held her jaw with both of his hand, pinned her to the wall and proceeded to kiss Yin.
