𝓣𝓪𝓮𝓱𝔂𝓾𝓷𝓰'𝓼 𝓹𝓸𝓿:
The rampant stench of death, yes, that's it, that was my earliest memory. The pungent odour of wood numbing my already haggard senses. The space couldn't of been too big. I remember banging my head on the same Cupboard door for help, and stubbing a toe on the opposite one.The stale air in the closed wooden cupboard was now suffocating me.
My whole body ached, it felt like when you've sat in the same position for a too long, but amplified a hundred times.I lost pace of time may be it was an hour I was here? Or may be more then that. I do not remember.
I had tried everything to get free through this, but it made me more weak and out of breathe, the feeling of something Or someone chocking my neck started to get down to my throat, I would die, I thought.
I had yelled out for help, but the thought of intruders and enemies hunting me down creeped me out, so I chooses to stay silent, but the uneasiness had never settled.
I was still thinking of Jungkook.
Half of my thoughts would be filtered and the one name constant in both parts would be him.
I never stopped thinking about him and his well being.
In midst of all these thoughts I never realised, how I had dozed off to sleep, that was the only time I had felt my mind lighter then my body, but soon I was woken up by a blinding light in my face.
A pungent smell and disgusted looks on me, I could feel the obnoxious wave.
Quickly, I tried to sit up, but a sharp stabbing in my back forced me back to the taut linen. Against my will, I yelped at the pain, and a man was quick to hold my hair in his strong grip.
I yelped, and the pain was surreal when he dragged me out of the closed space his hold still strong and ruthless on my scalp.
I wanted to scream, pain was undeniably painful, but my dried up throat seized with a small yelp.
The man laughed, his eyes were shining in victory as he eyed me up and down.
"So you were here, Warrior's Whore"
I tried to get off his grip and step back,to run away from the dirty words and disgusting looks. This man's touch burnt my skin to ashes.
My breathing was now back to being a little stable, I was starting to understand, I was caught......
And now most probably I was about to die too.
The man's other hand was wrapped around my waist the next minute as he tried to pick my scent up, his nose traced my skin, he vulgarly licked my skin and laughed Demonic.
"We finally got our hands on you, little whore. It would be really amazing to get you in my bed four times a day. "
I was not surprised, this was not the first time a man had used these filthy tone on me, but it still was disgusting and gut wrenching.
It was funny how these rusty men thought they had got the power and ability to touch and exploit anyone they wanted. His hands stayed laxed on my skin, his hold on my hair tighten as he pulled me towards the door, dragging me towards the Hall.
The immense pain thrilled me all over, I tried to resist, I tried to set myself free, but he had then griped my Sleeve and tore it open to expose my skin.
I had gasped, I was ashamed, I was tired.
I was vulnerable.
There were soon slight murmuring sounds nearing as we headed near to the court.
I found myself in court, a hundred male eyes burning through me. Gathering my disordered hanbok around me, I demanded help from my guards and courtiers. They sent me tortured glances but sat paralyzed.
I could see that in their minds they were tired and tortured as well.
My anxiety grew, but I was still not desperate.
The man who had gripped me threw me away in between bunch of people, I gazed over them and they were already dead.
I screamed and crawled back a bit, and I realised I was stepping on something, my eyes instantly glanced at the bloody hand I was stepping, the death body was cold by now, it was hard and already had started to smell, my eyes wander over the face-
My Mina noona lied there cold and dead. The bile came all at once gushing out as I threw up instantly.
This was all a dream, no? If someone would hold me tight and make me open my eyes, this all will be be gone, no?
I hunched forward hugging her dead body, her head was on my lap as I tried to wake her up, I tried to tell her, she was fine and I was here to protect her. I kept yelling at her, she had to get married, her lover was there waiting for her, I was her flower man Jungkook was going to accompany
me-
She would not wake up though.
She was gone.
My cries and screams filled court room as I mourned vulnerable.
"Tae" Through my blurry eyes and hazed mind I tried to figure the soft lips who had uttered my name.
Jungkook's parents and all royals were chained up to a pole.
Jungkook's father had a serious cut on his head, the blood oozed like a sea. His lips were busted. Jungkook's mom was breathing heavy, her hand swollen with how strongly they were tied up, Yeri on the other side wasn't harmed much, she was crying but was not highly injured, she might have just given up instead of fighting may be.
Two men came behind me, griping up my wrist as then dragged me far away from my noona and made me stand, I was barely alive then.
Thoughts clouded inside me, Where was Jungkook??? I searched for him, my eyes scanned every inch of the Court room but he was nowhere.
Was he dead??
I would not live much then either.
Silent cries gushed over me as even the thought of Jungkook being dead stabbed my gut a thousand times stronger
There was silence, only my sobs where heard when the enemy king had walked in through the door, his face prided with glory and victory.
His face had a evil grin, a red rusting scar on his left eye, his laugh echoed. He was surely loving the filth of dead bodies and broken people hunched on the floor.
His guards bowed to him, and then with slow steps he walked to me.
"So you are, Warrior Jeon's Bed warmer, his prized possession. "
He griped my jaw, fingers digging in my skin
"Wow, look at you, bruised lips , busted chin and yet you look beautiful, so beautiful that image of me taking you here in front of all is over powering me beautiful. "
My body would not stop trembling though I willed it to. I clutched my hanbok in my fists-as though I could save myself with that futile gesture.
He laughed looking how Terribly broken and scared I was.
I forced myself to not shed a tear for these animals, for these men who deserved the greatest hells to burn in.
A moment passed and the man stepped backward.
He signed his gaurds about something and they all went rushing towards the Royal door.
"Wait, till I get you in my bed whore. Wait till I am inside you, I'm sure you are a good cock Warmer. "
I stayed silent, and dead inside.
The door opened to dozens of royals, I recognized them instantly, they were kings of different kingdom, from all over different and far away places.
I couldn't understand the silence that wavered as soon as the Royal kings had entered. They sat on the Royal chairs and waited for this evil man to talk.
The silence was thickening.
It was difficult to keep my eyes open and stare at the void.
I just wanted this to be over. My knees were trembling with fear and exertion.
And then again , once more the door opened.
Guards ran inside first standing firm in way with there swords and then the other guards walked in Metal chains and daggers in there hands.
My vision did not allow me to look for what it was, but I sucked on breathe and my heart started to thump when I saw those guards, dragging none but Jungkook behind them.
I forced myself back on feets, I tried to run towards him, but I was forced on to stand on my place.
His eyes met mine, and for the first time, his eyes were void of stars, they were not shining, not glowing nor alive even, they were defeated, dried up, sunken and cold.
I looked for any injury he had, but he looked well then what rest of the people were in the courtroom, his hands were bleeding though, mostly due to the metal chains on his wrist.
His fets wobbled, but his eyes never left mine.
"Jungkook" I screamed, I was menace by then, pushing the guards and trying to get near him, but there grip on my wrist were as tight as any metal chain.
"Leave me, jun-jungkook" I yelled.
I wished for Jungkook to come running to me and hug me close, to let me know we'll be fine and he will be taking me far away from this.
But instead he looked back at me, his eyes steady. And then he adverted his gaze.
He looked at his parents and wife, and smiled at them, letting them know he was fine, he will get them out of here.
There was hurt inside me then, that was more painful then what all I had gone through for past an hour.
They made Jungkook stand near his throne, but he was still chained.
The menace mad king, walked towards Jungkook, griping his hair and pulling it harshly.
"I finally won over you Jeon, you have lost your everything to me. " Jungkook growled, his eyes holding up fire to burn the living existence of that man in front of him.
The said man just laughed.
He looked at the other kings, present in the court room.
"One and all, I king Choi, owes you all greatest of my gratitude. Thank you for gathering here in my victory. "
He smirked as he looked back at Jungkook.
"Over my Victory on Jeon Jungkook, I would like to remind you all of the oath I had agreed too. "
All the royals noded in agreement.
They all smiled from ear too ear, I wondered how many of these wanted to Kill Jungkook?? How many of these were unfaithful and wanted his kingdom.
"I have you and your kingdom under me Jeon. I have defeated you. It must be nerve wrecking, no? "
Jungkook moved a step ahead , his hand forming a fist , but he was jabbed back on his place.
"I had to take a oath remember?? That if I win over you, my first win will be shared with other royals and you would be given a choice to win back something and leave water over the other. I will stay by my words. " Jungkook's jaw was clenched.
The gaurds around me had now suddenly freed me from there strong grip. They stepped back and stood behind me.
I gasped.
Was I freed????
It didn't even take me a minute to think, and I was already running towards Jungkook.
My knees were week, my feets wobbly, I could barely stand and feel them, and here I was running. The distance now felt close to death, I just wanted to reach him and take him in my arms.
As soon as reached his vicinity, I threw myself on him, Jungkook was freed too. His chains were removed and the guards stood far away from us.
I wrapped my arms around him as I cried loudly.
He was alive.
My god, he was alive.
He smelled of blood and copper, his clothes were mixture of mud,dust and blood.
I nuzzled his neck, I have missed him.
21 days.
It took my love, 21 days to come back to me.
I stared back at him cupping his cheeks in my hands.
His skin was rough and now when I was so close to him, I could see thousands of small cute and scar all over his face.
My couldn't stop myself but tear up with how bad he was injured. On his chest there were big patches of bloods and under those garments there were torn up skin and wounds.
"Jungkookie, are you hurting anywhere??? Was it too serious?????
Why did you not return then my love? " I barely mumbled.
His eyes never glanced over me, he gazed at the court.
"I had told you, I had told you I was waiting for you, no?? I was scared Jungkookie. I was so worried" I hugged him again.
There was some commotion behind us, but I didn't cared enough to look back.
"Everything will be fine, okay? We both will make things right. I'm here with you Jungkook. We can fight these people, I promise. Are you okay??? You don't look good. "
Someone came beside us, standing erect beside Jungkook.
"Why are you not talking to your pearl jungkook?? Say something!! I'm scared. I'm scared of these men Jungkook. "
I Whimpered, hugging him more closely. I could feel myself tremble and shiver with the unsaid intensity.
"I king choi, give you a defeated chance to choose between one of the two dearest possessions you own Warrior Jeon" I heard him say, but the voices were too over bearing.
"Jungkookie, did you eat well? You do not look good. Let's have some food. You should eat something" I said ignoring everything, my eyes just on Jungkook and no one else.
"Choose between your kingdom, your wife and Your Bed Warmer Jeon"
"Let me clean those wounds Jungkookie, before they get Infected."
I gazed back at him
"Jungkook, why are you not answering me??? Please. Say something. I have died every moment since you have gone. These days were simply not worth living without you. Please I beg say something. "
I was then harshly pulled backwards by the same gaurds.
Jungkook was still silent.
I screamed again, I yelled at them to leave me, but they gripped my hair and pulled me behind.
Once tears were cleared from my eyes, I could see yeri standing beside him.
Crying and brutally shaken with things happening around her. She was held by gaurds gently though.
She was not chained, nor she had strong grip on her hair like I did.
She wasn't treated like a whore and a bed warmer, but like the queen she was.
"Warrior Jeon , you get to have one of the two possessions you have. If you choose your wife and Kingdom, we will leave this to you and walk back to our kingdom, but I will keep Your paramour with me. And if you choose this beautiful bed warmer, we'll be taking over your Queen as well as your kingdom. Choice is yours to make "
My eyes snapped with emergency.
Choice???
What was all this about?????
What choice???????
Was I a part of game to these men??
I screamed alarmed.
"Jungkook, what is he talking about?? What does he mean??? " The man tskked instead of Jungkook.
He came closer to me.
"Shameless, don't you have respect towards your owner?? Have you forgotten your place whore?? " His grip on my jaw tightened.
"Shut up, don't you call me that, don't you dare to call me that ever again, king choi" These words were the most firm words I had said without fumbling or shaking.
I was scared, but I was agitated more then anything.
But I knew Jungkook would choose me.
I had begged him too
King choi's ego was futile then a light single stick, his ego flared as I raised my voice against him.
Next his hand came strongly gripping my jaw, and the other went up in air.
I was very ready for the Slap he was willing to force on me.
I was weak and no one stood there to help.
"My queen. I choose my queen and my kingdom"
King choi's hand freezed mid way, it never came near me but the slap that Jungkook had forced me on with his choice pained me brutal.
I stayed there freezed.
I stared at him, while he stood there with a light smile, holding yeri in his arms and looking at where his parents were.
Suddenly the air inside me was knocked off.
Had he just let these men have me???
He gave me up?
"Jungkook"
"Jungkook" I screamed.
I ran toward him.
I almost tripped, but I held his collar with my weka hands somehow.
"Jungkook, what are you saying?? "
My lips quiver with cries.
"Jungkook, please"
"Please, don't send me off to them." I desperately pulled him near me, I screamed, yelled but he ignored all of my pleas.
"I told you to choose me Jungkook, I begged you. Please don't send me -"
"I have chosen my wife and my kingdom Taehyung. I would never choose a paramour over my own people . "
A paramour?
Over his own people? So was I not his very own?
It took me good 10 minutes to grasp the situation.
He had let me go.
He didn't wanted me anymore, and who was I to deny his orders?
I had said it before too, no?
"I promise I won't leave you, I'm your paramour, I can't leave you unless you let me go yourself"
"So I'll be here as long as you want me too"
"You want me gone? Are you letting me go? You don't want me anymore Jungkookie? "
He just nodded.
His eyes all over places but me.
"Look at me and answer me my majesty. You don't want me anymore?"
He then for the second time stared at me, eyes red shot and face ice cold.
"I Jeon Jungkook, give up my prized possession that was gifted to me to King Choi" His voice loud and clear.
Then he moves a little closer, his eyes on mine.
I step back from him.
"I give you up. I don't want you anymore"
King Choi laughed in his Victory, his guards come rushing to me holding me down on place, I let them do it.
My eyes stay pale and fumbling on Jungkook.
What had he done? What had he said?
Months of love with him and now I was suddenly nothing.
This surely must be a dream.
My Jungkook would never do this to me.
"I king choi claim Kim Taehyung as my prized possession." There were roars And happy laughs of royals and his men.
"And I announce a Royal auction for him tonight. " They all stare at me, my body on display as they smirk with greed.
I decided to not cry anymore.
You should never cry for a Man, who won't even realise he had broken you so much.
I would not stay if he don't want me too. Whatever he wants.
I am his paramour after all.
Was.
He choose his wife.
The Guards started to drag me, far away from Jungkook.
My eyes stayed on him, he gazed back from me to yeri, hugging her close, his parents ran towards him crying and loving there son. They were smiling at each other, as if it was the begging of there new world.
It was over for him and me now.
I would not stop loving him, but I would not forgive him either for the pain he have caused me.
This would be the most hardest thing I have ever done, walking away with grief but being still madly in love with him.
But I would stop this, I would stop being beside him, because he no more need me. He threw me up. And I had to let go him from every engraved part of me.
"I'll quit throne and my position. Let's run away. Let's make a small house. You can rest all day, I will cook for you and take care of our house. I'll start farming or may be giving lessons to small kids around us, we can earn pretty well like that, no?"
And I'll be in denial for at least a little while, But what about the plans we made?
I still wished somewhere this nightmare, will come crashing down and the next morning I'll be in his arms safe and happy.
But guess it was not a dream, him leaving me and letting these men have me was no more a nightmare.
It was all real.
It had ended.
Him and I, we were over forever.
