YOUNHA POV
-5 hours ago-
I placed the shawl on myself, making sure nobody sees me as I watch myself in the mirror, I wore a hanbok like the common people, and let my hair down as I looked at myself.
I smile before turning my heel, parting the doors slowly before peeking at the right and left the of the quiet night.
I sighed quietly before taking the oil lamp and slowly walking out of my quarter. I looked around, in case some guards see me.
I start to walk out of my quarter slowly, and I look at the dimmed Gyeongbokgung Palace before walking outside.
I always used a hideout, and it was small tunnel that was surrounded by a pond. It was covered by rocks but it had a small gap, making me sneak out the palace anytime. The King and the guards never knew about this.
"Younha?"
My eyes widened and my body turned towards the person calling my name.
My eyes squinted through the dark night, as I examined the figure walking towards me slowly.
"Wh-what are you doing here?"
My eyes widened as I examined the person infront of me, walking slowly towards me.
"Wh-who are you?" I asked the figure and the person sighed deeply before stopping infront of me.
"It's Junki," he responded.
"Thank God, I was afraid I'd caught again," I said as I took a deep breath.
"Younha, what are you doing this late at night? And... why are you here in the palace?" he asked as he pursed his lips, looking at me.
"I... uh... it's something you shouldn't really know, or I'll have my head cut off," I replied as I bit my lip.
"Don't tell me... you're the princess, aren't you? The one I've been hearing of around this palace?" He asks and my eyes widened.
"Shhh! Don't tell anyone!"
"So you are?"
"Well, since you guessed it there really isn't anything to cover it up anymore, but just don't tell anyone. I don't want you to die because of my father," I said.
"And why are you here, Junki?" I ask, and he sighs.
"The king's astronomer. But... I have something I want to say to you," he says quietly as he approaches me.
"Could you.... keep Yoongi away from the house for a while? Please? Just try to make sure he could stay away," he says as he looks down on the ground.
"Okay... I am planning to visit him for a while... but why do you want him out of the house?" I ask and he smiles slightly.
"I have something to do so he doesn't know, okay?" He responds and I nodded.
"Okay, I'll do it... Junki," I smiled.
PRESENT
"Your brother told me to... but I didn't know he was going to die. But I might know a reason as to why he died," I said as I looked at him.
"Why... why is that?" He replied.
"I heard he was loyal, and he was kind to others. It would be impossible for him to die. But don't worry, I'll make sure to know," I said.
"Open up!"
Our eyes widened as we looked at the loud voice booming around the house. I take Yoongi's arm before pushing him out of his house, making him fall behind a tree.
"You go and hide there!" I whispered at him and he nodded.
They're probably searching for more of his belongings.
"The King did say to empty out almost everything from him," a loud voice boomed as footsteps surrounded the house.
"We should atleast check if he has some kind of precious money here or jewels that we can give to the King," the guard said and they nodded.
"We shouldn't disobe- o-oh! Princess!" The guards said as their eyes widened, looking at me as they froze upon seeing me in the middle of the hanok.
"Hello Commander," I smiled sweetly at the soldier infront of me, and the all dropped their equipment before kneeling before me, giving numerous bows at the process.
"Your Highness! You shouldn't go around like this! Who knows what will happen when people find out?" The commander whispered, and I shook my head.
"Commander sir, I'll be fine! Why are you here?" I asked as they slowly stood up.
"Your father's orders, Your Highness. You should go home and study! Please be safe," they whispered as they bowed their heads.
"Thank you. I will," I smiled before stepping down the hanok, closing the door before running towards Yoongi, pulling him up.
"Everything's fine. Come on out," I whispered as I pulled Yoongi out before shoving a straw hat on his head.
"Wh-what happened?" He replied.
"No need to worry," I smiled as we began running away from his house.
"Trust me, you'll know more about me soon."
"Wh-where are going?"
"The palace."
