A Twisted Fairytale (Jinyoung)

Start from the beginning
                                    

"You're looking for the future queen."

Jinyoung's steps falter for a moment, but he nodded at you once before resuming his walk. "Yes. That is right."

You tried not to let it overwhelm you, but your heart started to beat faster. If someone told you yesterday that you would jump from being a bar maiden to the prince's fiancée, you would have told them off, for your more likely to marry drunken Jackson than any noble.

"You look upset. Is it something I said?" Jinyoung prodded.

You looked at the prince with a somber expression. "Of course not. I just feel shame that I'm bothering you like this when you're out for a grand mission." You looked at the ground. "That must be nice-to be chosen by his highness as the object of his devotion. She should be brave and strong if she would lend him support. Not only will the lady be lucky to be adorn by everyone, she would also have the power to control's people's hearts."

"You have a great understanding of how to play the queen's part."

You smiled bashfully at his comment. "Well, I try myself to act that way even with no right over anyone. You just have to be kind and understanding, yet strong enough as to not let anyone step on you or the people you care about. I believe that's how I survived the world despite not having anyone beside me. I have strength to fight for two or so. And my journey up to now has taught me how to deal with different kinds of people."

"Spoken like a queen."

You shook your head with a now sad smile. "It's not like I'm going to be one. I look nothing like a queen. I'm still not that graceful despite trying hard."

You felt a tug on your hand, and you whirled slightly to see that Jinyoung had stopped. You were by the town centre then, just beside the grand fountain.

"Is something wrong?" you asked, seeing that he wasn't smiling anymore.

"Yes. You're wrong. Looks and gracefulness don't make you a queen. You can learn how to sit and stand with poise; the palace is full of servants who would make you look your best every waking moment. But the passion and, as you've said, strength to face responsibilities are things not everyone can have or learn. It's deep inside you, piling slowly as you bravely face adversaries. No lady born of nobility ever had to face drunk men and serve them without breaking smiles. No lady born of nobility would be willing to learn after seeing things from above."

You bit your lip. "I'm so sorry, my prince, but I'm not educated enough to understand your words."

Jinyoung took a step closer, his hand went up to hold your chin and made you stare in his eyes. "Would you let me show just how much beautiful and strong I think you are then?"

It wasn't much of a question. After all, it was what you wanted to hear. And you've come even farther, making the prince not only say it but prove it.

You woke up with a light head. It was a night you would never forget, a night that served as the plot twist of your fairytale. You could remember Prince Jinyoung's words clearly.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I'm not responsible of what will happen after."

"You smell better than any flowers in our palace garden."

You smiled to yourself and flung your arms to the other side of the bed, hoping to find his warmth again. But there was none. No warmth or even body. You blinked a couple of times and saw clearly that you were alone in the room.

Prince Jinyoung did say it was his last night. He had to go through other towns out of courtesy; he had already chosen you though that's why you agreed to consummate the marriage. You sat up and looked around for anything he could have left.
