"A child Jimin........I badly want one, I can't have one but still.....I want one" He added.

There was silence just after that.

"My lord" Jimin called but got no response, he looked up to check on him and discovered he was already asleep.

He smiled cutely and gently pushed his hair bangs away from his eyes, revealing his pretty brows.

"How cute" He muttered and touched his brows on both sides.

"He's not really from earth I guess" he said.

'But then, what does he mean by his time will be over soon!?' He suddenly thought and his mood changed.

'And what does he mean by he can't have a child? What's going on?' he asked again as if someone was going to answer him.

He finally sighed out and decide to keep quiet and allow the emperor sleep, his thoughts might disturb him again like he always say.

NEXT MORNING~ SERVANTS QUARTER**

👥 You also heard the news right?

👥 Heard lady Borah isn't the emperor's mistress until further notice.

👥 her maids were even sent back here.

👥 Oh I pity Bosong, now what remain for her?

The maids kept talking and mocking Bosong who was trying to work.

The bag of grain in her hand fell and she tried carrying it again but someone stepped on it, she looked up and saw Yoonie.

"Now what, are you gonna slap me or insult me?" She asked.

Yoongi smirked at Bosong.

"You look so hungry, aren't you eating because your lady was called off?" Yoongi asked in a mocking voice.

Bosong said nothing, she swallowed into nothing.

"Are you seriously not going to talk? This isn't the Bosong I know right?" Yoonie asked and Yoongi laughed.

"Maybe she's the fake Bosong" he said and they both laughed out.

"Guys" Jimin called to them.

"Yoongi" she glared.

"Young master, don't you think we should teach her some lessons now?" Yoongi asked.

"That's not fair" Jimin said and helped Bosong with the grain on the ground.

"Here"

"Thanks" Bosong mumbled and took it from Jimin before walking away.

"Gosh, Jimin is such a turn off. You know how much that girl hates you" Yoonie groaned.

"She only have to do whatever her lady orders" Jimin said

"Who cares? That means she's also evil" Yoongi said.

"But still, you can't bully her that way" Jimin said.

"I'm hungry" Yoonie yawned.

"Me too" Yoongi said.

"Seriously? You're not going to do that again are you?" Jimin followed them.

"Since our Prince asked us to stop, we should" Yoongi said and Jimin laughed.

BORAH'S SUITE**

Borah stared at herself in the mirror and sighed out, her hair was looking so rough. She didn't even get a wink of sleep all night, she felt so tired and weak.

She was just waking up.

"Bosong, can I get a glass of water?" She called and run her fingers through her hair.

Nothing happened, just silence.

"Bosong" She called again and still, silence.

She suddenly realized that not only her position was taken from her, her maids too.

"Ahh!!!" She screamed and pushed off everything off the dressing table angrily.

The door opened and Namjoon came in.

"I'm sure you don't want to start paying for whatever you destroy in the palace" he said.

Borah looked at him.

"What...did you say?" She asked.

"You heard me right, I'm sure of that. The emperor said if you destroy anything in his palace, you have to pay for it. Do you hear that well now!" Namjoon asked loudly.

Borah bite her lips and looked up again.

"Is his majesty tormenting me right now?" She asked.

"You tried to murder his Fiancee, and you tried to frame someone else for your doings. I wonder what his majesty was thinking, because I would have ordered for your head right away, why is he doing all these? He's not punishing you at all, if he asked for your head, I would probably be the one to chop it off your neck. So better be careful whenever you see me, I might carry that out without his order" Namjoon said and stormed out of the room.

Borah scoffed, tears rolling down her eyes.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!"

She screamed and roughed her hair, she felt so embarrassed and irritated.

She knew Namjoon wouldn't ever speak to her that way before, he never looked at her twice.

But now??

"I will kill him once I'm back, just wait for it, just wait" She mumbled, tightening her fists.

BAEKJE GARDEN**

Emperor Jungkook appeared in front of the tree and he was amazed.

This time, the tree was fully bloomed. The flowers were so big and beautiful, it was even beginning to bring some tiny fruits of seeds.

He stood there, staring at it blankly until he felt the Diety's presence beside him.

"You're here" He said.

"You called for me" The deity replied.

The emperor faced her.

"So now what?" He asked.

"Now what?" The deity also asked.

"What's going to happen next, the tree...is fully awaken" The emperor said and The deity smiled.

"How do you feel?" She asked.

"I've always felt this way, what are you talking about?" He asked.

The deity sighed out.

"You seem to enjoy Jimin's presence so much these days" She said.

"I won't deny that" The emperor replied.

"Do you still want to leave?" The deity asked.

"I should....before this gets too much" The emperor replied.

"Your affections?"

"You know what I'm talking about, I know this isn't your doings, it's me" The emperor muttered.

"But I don't want to feel this way, no matter what" He added.

"Jungkook...why are you bringing things back again?" The deity asked.

"I don't want to feel this way, I don't want to. "

"Why?"

"I've had enough, it's too late to heal me right now" The deity replied.

"You don't want to leave him......."

"No, I don't have any reason to stay. I don't want to stay here any more, I got exhausted years back and I don't think anything can hold me back at this point. I've exceeded my stay here...I can't do it anymore" The emperor replied.

"I will give you more time, more time to spend with him" The deity said and the emperor sighed out.

"Can you make him not love me?" He asked and the deity raised her brows.

"He should not, he doesn't know what I am, he doesn't know anything about me, what I've done, everything.....he must have fell because you told him about his fate, but deeply.....we shouldn't be together"

"I should be the one to decide that not you" The deity snapped.

"I don't want anyone with me" The emperor shook his head and vanished.

The deity scoffed.

"That child never seize to amaze me, now another excuse?" She shook her head.

The emperor appeared back in his chamber and almost immediately Namjoon came in.

"Your majesty, it's time to go, the elders are waiting already in the throne room" Namjoon said with a bow.

The emperor said nothing and walked out while Namjoon followed.

YONGBOK'S SUITE**

Hyunjin stood in the same position watching as Yongbok turned his room upside down while searching for a dress.

"I have no clothes!" Yongbok screamed and fell on the bed.

"You really have no clothes" Hyunjin mumbled, staring at the countless clothes all over the room.

"All these dresses won't do at all" He shook his head.

"Where exactly are you going?" Hyunjin asked.

"I'm going out with Jimin tonight" Yongbok replied and Hyunjin's eyes widened.

"Out? Tonight? With Jimin?"

"I'm going to ask hyung for permission don't worry, I'm not sneaking out" Yongbok smiled.

"He won't allow that" Hyunjin shook his head.

"I will make sure he allow us, can you pick a more casual dress for me then? You will be there with us though" Yongbok said

"Why me?" Hyunjin immediately asked.

"Because I trust you more" Yongbok replied and Hyunjin smiled.

"Thanks for trusting me" he mumbled.

"Help me get something to wear then" Yongbok said.

"Sure" Hyunjin sighed out.

TWO HOURS LATER~ JIMIN'S ROOM**

Immediately Jimin entered his room, the deity appeared to him.

"Is something wrong Jimin? You've been calling me all day" The deity said.

"I have questions for you" Jimin immediately moved closer.

"Go on"

"Why can't his majesty have a child?" He asked.

"Why are you suddenly interested in that?" The deity asked.

"He mentioned it last night, I'm worried" Jimin mumbled.

"It's part of the curse" The deity replied and Jimin's eye widened.

"Curse?"

"But aside the curse, the devil and human can't have child together, it's not possible Jimin"

Jimin shook his head.

"It's possible" He said.

"Jimin, the human might get hurt and regret it even if it happens" The deity said.

"Then why would you allow me fall in love with him? If I can't even give him a child, why did I fall for him?" Jimin asked.

"That's....."

"You're not going to mention fate again right?" Jimin shook his head.

"I won't follow that this time around, I'm going to bear his child,and nothing is going to happen, I won't regret it" Jimin said.

"Jimin, don't make a mistake....."

"Bye for now Ajumeoni" Jimin went out before she could finish.

The deity sighed.

As Jimin left the room, Namjoon showed up.

"Namjoon" Jimin called and Namjoon smiled.

"His majesty called for you" He said.

"Thank you" Jimin muttered.

ROYAL CHAMBER~ LIBRARY**

"And the happily ever after happened....."

Jimin read the last part of the book in his hand and saw the emperor sleeping.

"So fast" He smiled and closed the book in his hand.

He sighed out and stood there, staring at his face as usual.

He was even beginning to yawn but Jimin already sworn to watch him until he's awake again.

But then suddenly he felt so tight within, he needed to answer the call of nature real quick.

"Oh no, I need to go" He muttered.

He suggested first in his head maybe he could use the emperor's own but immediately the thought dried up.

"What if he get mad?" He shook his head and immediately ran out of the chamber instead.

Some minutes later, the door opened and Duri walked in.

"Your majesty" He called.

There was no answer, he went to the bedroom but it was empty.

"But..the guards said he was in" He bite his lips and almost gave up when he suddenly saw the library door opened.

He went in and saw the emperor sleeping.

"Wow, I've never seen him sleeping" He smiled and sat down beside him immediately.

He started staring at him with amazement.

"He's handsome" He mumbled.

Soon, he started leaning closer. He touched his lips gently and the feeling grew higher.

He removed his band and his lips started getting closer instead, their lips almost touched when Jimin came in, his eyes widened.

"No!!!!" He screamed.

Duri froze and the emperor opened his eyes also.

"Don't do that!!" Jimin screamed again.

The emperor looked at Duri and then Jimin.

"Are you crazy!!" Duri asked angrily and stood up.

"He's my Fiance and you're just a slave, how dare you stop me!!" Duri shouted.

Jimin shook his head.

"I know, but....please don't do that" He mumbled and bite his lips.

"What" Duri's anger doubled and he grabbed Jimin's hair.

"How dare you!!" He pushed Jimin off, Jimin also pushed him and they both fell on the ground.

"Jimin!" The emperor got up immediately.

He rushed to Jimin on the ground.

"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

Duri couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at the emperor from where he was still sitting on the floor, he actually got a scratch on his knee.

The emperor suddenly realized what happened and looked at Duri who was already in tears.

He shook his head and stood up and ran out.

"Duri" The emperor called and almost stood up.

Jimin immediately grabbed his arm, the moment he faced him, he smashed his lips on Jungkook.
