Chapter 13

"You'll love me at once upon a dream"
—————————————————————

Y/n's pov

A maid woke me up at about two am and told me that we're going to leave for Gwangju even though it's still dark outside, I sleepily walk down the stairs and got out of the cottage and already finding Yoongi sleeping inside the carriage, I collapse back into my slumber as I feel the carriage start to move to take us to Gwangju.

After about three hours we finally arrive at Gwangju. more specifically Min's Palace, Yoongi took my hand and we entered the Palace.

"Where are you taking me?" I lazily rub my eyes, still feeling tired.

"Back to our dreamland"

I did not just almost get a heart attack over his morning voice.

Yoongi pushed open the big gold doors and we walk inside, by looking at the design along with the interiors of the room, this must be his bedroom.

"Why are you taking me here?" He let himself fall on the bed and pull me to lay beside him, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pull me closer.

"I'm too lazy to show you your room, so you can sleep here instead" his voice is a bit muffled as he buried his face in my hair, It didn't take long for us to go back to our dreamland again.

——————

A knock woke me up from my slumber, I slowly remove Yoongi's hand but he tightened his hold on my waist.

"Go back to sleep, it's probably just the maids"

He was right, two maids walk into the room and went to open the curtains.

I grunted as I feel the sunshine hit my face, now I definitely can't go back to sleep, I tried to remove his hand and he let me go this time, I sit on the bed and did my usual staring into nothing for ten minutes.

(Lmao I do this too)

One of the maids gives me a glass of water I thanked her and gulp the water down my throat, the maids smiled and curtsied.

"Merry Christmas Lady Y/n and King Yoongi" I was about to wish them back but they already get out of the room, Yoongi put his chin on my shoulder and I feel his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Merry Christmas Kitten"

"Merry Christmas Yoongi, what are your plans for us today?"

"Breakfast, getting ready for the party, and attend the party, but we could ditch those and continue to sleep for the rest of the day, what do you say Kitten?"

I giggled "we couldn't do that, you already invited the guests to come to the party" I freed myself from his arms and stood up from the bed, I was about to go to the bathroom but Yoongi tugged my nightgown.

"Where are you going? Don't leave me" I look back and was almost awed when I saw him doing the puss and boots kitty eyes.

I brushed his hair back and pat his cheek "I'm just going to the bathroom, I'll be back real quick" he pouted and let go of my nightgown.

"You better, or else I'm coming in"

I entered the bathroom and wash my face with cold water, I look up expecting I will see my reflection in the mirror but the one who's staring back at me isn't my reflection.

A loud shriek escaped my lips and I took several steps back and rub my eyes to see if what I'm seeing is not my hallucinations.

"It's me Beasty, you're not seeing things"

"Mom! W-what are y-" the sound of someone banging the door cut me off.

"Y/n?! Kitten Are you okay?!" Yoongi frantically asks as he continues banging the door.

"I-I'm okay...it's just a cockroach!"

The banging stopped "Do you want me to go in there?"

"No don't!"

"You sure? You don't sound good I'm coming-"

"I'm pooping!"

Then it was silent for a moment.

"Okay, I'll just wait on the bed" then I hear his footsteps walking away from the bathroom door, I silently sighed in relief and turn back to look at mom, I open my mouth to question her but she spoke again.

"So you think I'm a cockroach?" She asks with one eyebrow raised, I widened my eyes and quickly shook my head.

"N-no it's just...you know mmmm... Merry Christmas?"

"Where are you beasty?"

I nervously rubbed my nape and whispered "Promise me you won't be mad?"

She rolled her eyes "Depends on where you are"

"Gwangju..."

"Gwangju?! What are you doing in there?! Are you kidnapped or something?! Who is that guy?!!"

"M-Min Yoongi, he's my friend and no! I'm not kidnapped and...I'm here because he invited me to his Christmas party hehe..." I said with an innocent smile.

She sighed and shook her head "When will you be back?"

I nervously shrugged my shoulders "Not sure..."

"Whatever you do please stay safe and don't do anything stupid, if anything happens just shout my name and I'll be there wherever you are okay?"

I saluted "Yes mother!"

"Merry Christmas honey" She gives me a warm smile before she slowly disappeared from the mirror.

I took a deep breath and open the bathroom door and saw Yoongi reading a book while laying on the bed, I sit on the bed beside him which caught his attention and his face lightened up.

"You're finally done! Let's go have breakfasts" Yoongi grab two black robes and we helped each other to wear them, we walk out of his room and chatted about random things as we walk to the dining room.

I feel my mouth watered as soon as we step in inside the dining room, food.

Yoongi pull out a chair for me and I thanked him, he went to sit down on the chair beside me and we start to eat our food.

"How is the food? Is it good?" I notice the maids in the room look very nervous about what I'm going to say, they look like they're begging me to say it was good.

"Delicious!" Then I saw them sighed, why do they look so scared for my opinion?

We continue to eat our food and I can't help get a flashback to when Felix first taught me how to cook, we were about seven that time.

I nervously put the bowl of soup I just made in front of Felix, he stare at me with that judging look on his face, he aggressively inhales and picks up the spoon on the table, he scooped some and slurp the soup, he then widened his eyes and dropped the spoon.

"Good?" I nervously ask, he let out a gasp like he's offended.

"Horrible! Where's the flavor in this Honey? Bleh!" I open my mouth and was about to insult him back but he put his index finger on my lips and shushed me.

"But don't worry! Master Felix is here to help you!" He then puffed his chest proudly and take me back into the kitchen to teach me how to cook.

-the next day-

Felix slurp's some of the soup on his spoon and gasped and dropped his spoon.

"So...?"

"Amazing! Bravo! Out of the universe!" He stood up and hug me real tight as he goes on complementing my soup while I tried to escape his deadly hug.

"Kitten?"

"Huh?"

"You were spacing out, are you okay?"

"I'm okay, sorry what are you talking about?" He softly smiles and caresses my cheek gently then he put his other hand on mine.

"To get into the part, we have to bring a date so...Would you like to attend my Christmas party as my date? Y/n?" I feel an unfamiliar feeling rushed into me, I could feel my cheeks heat up and something weird in my belly.

Is this how it feels having Butterflies in your belly?

Answer him you stupid!

"Yes! Of course, thank you!"

Wtf, what did you say thank you? Stupid dumb bitch.

I look down at my lap feeling embarrassed, I prayed there's a hole under my chair to swallow me in, I just want to yeet myself from this room.

He takes my chin and makes me look at him, he has a big gummy smile on his lips.

"You're so cute"

His assistant came stood beside him and tapped his shoulder, Yoongi just hummed in reply without looking away from me.

"My King we don't have much time, I think the maids should help Lady Y/n getting ready for the party right now"

"Now? But it's still morni-"

"Exactly Kitten. Edmund, tell the maids to help her"

"But I haven't finished my pudding-" my pudding is suddenly taken away from me, Edmund offers his hand for me to take but Yoongi swats his hand away.

"She can walk."

——————

I somehow find myself sitting on a tub full of water and rose petals, naked.

The maids around me are all in a rush, they scrubbed and washed my body, they washed my hair with the best shampoo. I thought everything was done but I was wrong about that.

After I'm done they take me into another room and began to massage my body then put a facemask on me and told me to sleep for one hour.

They took me into another room and make me sit on a stool in front of a vanity, there's a total of four maids doing my hair, one maid is shouting to get another brush, then there are two maids that are taking care of my nails, the rest was running around to get things ready for me.

"Excuse me! Clear the way please! Lady Y/n King Yoongi gave you a Christmas present!!" A maid who I remember her name is Sarah put a big box on my lap, the maids in the room stopped what they're doing to look at what's inside the box, all of us gasped when we see what's inside.

"A-Am I going to wear this?"

"Well of course...but you can give it to me if you don't want to..."

"Melinda! How can you say such a thing to our guest?!" Sarah began to scold her so I tell her that it was okay, then there's a knock on the door and one of the maids went to open the door.

"It's Mister Edmund! He asks us if Lady Y/n is ready yet!" And the Chaos continued.

——————

"Lady Y/n...you look beautiful"

I stood in front of a mirror with the maids behind me, admiring me.

I do look beautiful.

"You look like a goddess!" They squealed.

"But...are you sure this is not too much?...for a person like me?"

"The dress is very beautiful and so are you, you deserve everything good in your life lady Y/n"

(Your dress)

"I've never seen King Yoongi acting so sweet to anyone! He is a very cold person"

"Okay! Let's go outside Lady Y/n, King Yoongi is waiting for you in the living room" Sarah help me to walk since the dress is pretty heavy, Soobin opens the living room door after Sarah knocks on it.

"The King is at the balcony" Soobin walked out and closed the door leaving me alone with Yoongi, I saw Yoongi leaning his body on the balcony fences and is looking down at something.

A mischief smile appeared on my lips and I sneak up behind him.

"BOOM"

"WA! WHAT THE FUC-oh it's you...you almost gave me a heart attack Kitten" he widened his eyes and look at me up and down.

"You..."

"Why? Did I give you a heart attack?"

"You look amazing..." I smiled and hugged him, he was a bit surprised but then hugged me back.

"Thank you for the dress Yoongi, you look amazing too"

I broke the hug and look up at him "I'm sorry I didn't get you anything.." He cupped my cheeks and caresses them.

"Having you as my date is the greatest Christmas present I've ever received" he kissed my forehead and took my hand.

"Let's go, the guests are already here" I nodded and both of us walk to the ballroom.

"I forgot to tell you, we are going to do the first dance as an opening for the party"

"Ok-what?! Why didn't you tell me earlier!?"

He shrugged "I forgot"

"I should have practiced before"

"Why? You're pretty good at dancing"

"Well...I always stepped on my partner's foot while dancing..."

"You never stepped on me"

"Yea, but what if I am later? They all going to laugh at m-"

"Then it'll be their last word"

Shivers run down my spine when I heard him said that like it was a normal thing.

We stood in front of the ballroom door as we wait for the commander to announce our presence to the guests, I take a deep breath when the ballroom doors opened and both of us stepped inside the room.

All the guests are looking at us, they're mostly looking at me I usually have no problem with people staring at me but somehow I feel anxious, I scoot closer to Yoongi and he notices it.

"What's wrong, Kitten?" I didn't say anything and just look down at the floor, from the corner of my eyes I saw Yoongi glaring down at them and they quickly bowed/curtsied.

After we walked down the stairs Yoongi and I walk to the center of the room and we get into our dancing position.

"Relax Kitten" his lips almost touching my ear as he whispers sweet words to me, the music starts playing and we began to dance.

"When I was eighth I had a dog named Holly, he was a sweetheart. My parents hate dogs so when I bring him home I hide him in my closet most of the time" I look up at him as he continue to tell his story.

"But Holly is very active, so he escapes from my closet and wanders around the palace every day, one day he saw my dad was beating me so the next morning Holly peed and take a shit inside my dad's slippers, let's say he didn't have the best morning that day and he fucking deserves it" I let out a giggle, good job Holly.

"I wasn't mad at Holly in fact, I was proud that he was brave enough to do that. He saw my mother shouting at me and you know what he did next? He tore all of her expensive dresses and puked on her bed! Crazy isn't he?" I laughed along with him.

"He is very protective with me, he continues to mess with my parents, and one day they had enough and decide to tell all the maids to search for the culprit, I didn't trust anyone so sadly...I have to leave him on the streets...it was hard since we've become so close with each other, but it was better than having him get caught by my psychotic parents"

"That's...sad, have you ever found him after that?"

"No, I just hope that someone found him and treat him good"

The music stopped and I curtsied at him then people began to clapped for us, he took my hand and we walk away from the dance floor to his table.

"you must be hungry, you didn't get to eat your lunch today" Yoongi pull out a chair for me, I sit on it and thanked him he then went to sit beside me and the maids began to serve us our food, we talked as we eat our food then he laughs out loud showing me his big gummy smile at something stupid I said, as we were talking I found people are gaping at us some of them are whispering or pointing at us but I ignore them and continue talking with Yoongi.

A guard came to Yoongi and whispered something in his ear the guard looks panicked but he tried to cover it with a straight face Yoongi glared at him and turn to face me with a smile on his lips.

"I'm sorry Kitten but I have something to do, are you okay waiting here?"

"I'm okay" he stood up and patted my head, he then walked out of the ballroom with the guard behind him.

After half an hour he is still not back yet some men came to me to ask me for a dance but I decline them and it seems like they don't know that no means no so they take a seat in front of me and start asking me questions like 'are you single?' 'What's your name?' 'How old are you?' 'Where are you from?' 'What's your relationship with King Yoongi?' 'Is King Yoongi treat you well?'

I excused myself to the bathroom because I want to get away from them, as I was walking to the bathroom someone bumped my shoulder I turn around to fight whoever it is but I saw the person is running away.

And they are wearing a very familiar green cloak.

I run after him not caring that the people around are looking at me like I just went through an exorcise, he runs faster and entered one of the balconies.

"No!" I saw him jumped from the fence, I look down to the ground but didn't saw him there.

"Felix? What is he doing here?"

I heard the balcony door closed, oh don't tell me those guys followed me here I turn around and saw a woman.

I was a bit relieved it wasn't those guys from earlier but I didn't feel good about this woman either, she stare at me with hatred in her eyes and walked closer to me.

"How did you do it?"

I was confused when she suddenly asked me "What?"

"Don't pretend to be clueless bitch! What the fuck did you do to him?!"

"Look I really don't know what you're talking about"

"Are you a witch? What kind of poison that you slip in his drink?! Answer me fucking slut!!"

"THE KING YOONGI I KNEW NEVER LOOK AT A WOMAN WITH THAT LOOK HE HAD WHEN HE LOOKS AT YOU!! HE NEVER EVEN LOOK AT ME! THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THIS KINGDOM, TELL ME YOUR SECRETS BITCH!" She raised her hand and was about to slap me but someone behind her caught her hand, Soobin.

He tighten his grip around the woman's hand and glared at her.

"Lady Y/n please go back to the ballroom, I'll take care of her" I nodded and walk out from the balcony.

'Crazy bitch it's not my fault he never lay his eyes on you' I thought as I entered the ballroom, I was about to walk back to Yoongi's table but someone suddenly blocked my way I look up and it was him, Kim Taehyung.

"Would you like to dance with me? Lady Y/n" He offers his hand for me to take, without answering him I took his hand and pull him on the dance floor.

"Ah ah, eager are we?" He asks with that stupid smirk on his lips, we began to dance as the music starts playing.

"How did you know about Shela?" I straight up ask him.

"Don't you think this wasn't the right time to question me?"

"I don't care! How did you know?!"

"Guess?" He knew I was mad and irritated by his behavior, he enjoys seeing me like this.

I took a deep breath and try to control my anger "are you that boy from eight years ago?"

"When was that? I don't remember" he clearly knows what he's doing.

"You're the one who accidentally entered the forbidden forest that night eight years ago right?"

He shrugged.

I really want to punch that annoying face of his, at this point I don't care if everyone is watching and he's a King.

"I will answer all of your questions but in one condition"

"Spit it out"

He smirked wider "Go on a date with me"

"Say that again?"

"Go on a date with me"

I immediately stopped dancing "No" I turn around to walk away but he caught my wrist, he pulls me back and my head hit his chest.

"If you don't want to go on a date with me, I'm going to tell the whole people in Korea that place exists and it won't take long for them to be curious and force themselves to enter your pretty little forest, they might even destroy it" his lips pressed again the back of my ear as he whispers his threat to me.

"Go ahead, people will think you're crazy"

A/n's pov

TW: violence, torture, and murder (please skip if you can't handle reading this)

While everyone is enjoying their Christmas night at the ballroom, no one can hear the sound of a woman screaming in pain in the dungeon.

After he cuts all of her hair until her scalp bleeds, scooping out her eyes with a spoon, and take off all her nails, Yoongi grabs a hammer and began to smash her hands with it.

"THIS FILTHY HAND DARED TO TOUCH MY Y/N!" The woman screamed when she feels her bones crushed.

"P-please my Ki-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Yoongi repeatedly hits the hammer on her head and her skull breaks.

Blood. So many bloods, they are everywhere.

Yoongi grab a butcher knife and began to mutilate her body into pieces, the guards that are forced to watch the scene are trembling they have never seen King Yoongi this mad before, they never saw their King tortured a girl to death.

"YOU SEE THIS ASSHOLES?! THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL GET IF YOU EVER TOUCHED MY Y/N! I DON'T CARE IF ITS A MAN OR A WOMAN OR EVEN A CHILD! IF ANYONE EVER TOUCHED MY Y/N I'LL TORTURE THEM TO DEATH"

"CLEAN THIS UP! AND SOOBIN?!"

"Y-yes, my King?"

"I want you to let the guests know that the party is done, close the doors and bring Y/n to my room"

"Y-yes" Soobin bowed and quickly walk out of the dungeon, he puked all of his dinners on a bucked and try to breathe properly.

TW end.

Y/n's pov

Throughout the entire night Kim Taehyung would not leave me, he always follows behind me everywhere I go like a lost puppy when I told him to leave me he just showed me his innocent smile.

I step out of the bathroom after doing my business and was almost get a heart attack when I saw him stood in front of the bathroom door and is waiting for me.

"Seriously?! What is it that you want??!"

"I already said what I want, go on a date with me"

"And I said no!"

"Excuse me, Lady Y/n" I look to the side and saw Soobin with both of his hands in his back.

"The party has already ended, and King Yoongi is waiting for you in his room"

"Why did he want her in his room" Taehyung glares at Soobin, he looked mad and it looks damn scary.

"King Taehyung can you please wait for me in the living room while I escort Lady Y/n to King Yoongi's room? There's something really important that I want to tell you"

"Soobin are you okay? You look pale" I ask him as we walk to Yoongi's room.

"I'm okay"

"Are you su-"

"Yes, please get inside the King is waiting for you" he quickly walks away.

When I entered his room I didn't see him there but I hear the sound of running water coming from the bathroom so I think he's there.

Two maids entered the room and helped me take off my dress, they give me a nightgown and walk out of the room.

After wearing my nightgown I lay down on his bed and close my eyes to sleep, I heard the bathroom door opened and feel the bed dipped beside me and a pair of arms wrapped around my waist.

"Yoongi?"

"Yes, Kitten?" I turn around to face him, his hair was a little wet and he looks sleepy.

"Thank you for tonight, I had a great time" he softly smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Let's go to sleep"

——————

I can't sleep

I'm craving strawberries.

After freeing myself from his cuddle I quietly step out of the room and walk into the kitchen.

"Strawberry strawberry where are you~"

I found a box of strawberries in the cabinet and was about to open it but someone grabbed my shoulders, they turn me around and pinned me on the wall.

"Soobin? What are you doing?!"

"Lady Y/n you have to leave!"

"W-what do you mean?"

"I can't explain now but you must leave from here and never show your face to King Yoongi, please...it's for your safety"

He grabs my hand dragged me outside through a secret passage.

"Where is he..."

"Soobin where are taking me?! Let go!"

A carriage stopped in front of us and Kim Taehyung stepped out.

"Need a ride?"

I scoffed "so this is your plan huh?"

"It's not mine, this man begged to take you with me and me being the generous King I am I accept his request"

I turn around to go back inside but his next words stopped me.

"Do you want your answers or not"

"Fuck you, let's go"

"Gladly" Taehyung smirked and open the door of the carriage for me.
