In the mansion,
Tae is walking alone , "ahhh, it feels very awkward without namjoon hyung( Seo-a = happy as always), where must be they?"
(That them = standing infront of a large mountain that they should cross , joon trying to runaway but no way home , Eun-a just dragged him through it)
At that time Tae bumbed onto someone, he was so shocked to see the person infront, "zilan?? What are you doing here".
Zilan trembling with fear," I I am--"
Tae angrily,"I asked why are you here, what are you scheming?".
A voice," I brought her".
Tae looked at the direction it was jimin with Jungkook. Jimin walked forward,"zilan you can go". Zilan went from there.
Tae frustrated but calm," Jimin,do you what are you doing, you are now protecting an accused treasoner's daughter, if the officials came to know about it.."
Jimin angry and cold," you can stop now, you don't have to worry about me, your majesty crown Prince I remind you I am part of mulan not subjected to imperial family., so I think the ๐ง๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ can mind his own buisness".
Tae's eyes filled with tears. Jungkook noticed it and stood between them," Jimin hyung, please stop it let's go".
Jimin walked a few steps forward and said looking in front," once again I am making it clearer, ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ'๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐๐ป'๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ".
Tae looked at him with teary eyes but jimin didn't looked back .
Jungkook bowing 90โฐ and said," I apologise behalf of him,your majesty crown Prince". And he left from there to search Jimin. As he left tae collapsed the ground and started to cry and a few inches away from him behind a door jimin was also crying ignoring Jungkook's call. All these was witnessed by Seo-a but she just looked at tae and walked away.
Flashback,
Teen tae is sitting in the ground in a corner of a room ,at that time jimin and Jungkook entered the room with tension and fear.
Jimin with shaking voice," taehyunga , taehyunga, did you hear about those weird rumours it is saying you saw Eun-a.."
Taehyung slowly standing up and in a tired little voice ,"that's not a rumour".
Jimin tears in his eyes,"Tae you are joking right, you know she will never do it ".
Young Jungkook,"that's true hyung ,there must be something behind this".
At that time a soldier came,"his majesty the emperor has called his majesty the crown Prince to the court".
Jimin coming closer to him and putting hand on his shoulder," taehyunga, you are not going to be the witness isn't".
Tae remained silent.
Jimin crying andย holding on to his collar tightly in anger," taehyunga if you say anything against her now, it can destroy us, Taehyunga please think yourself, let's sort it afterwards,let's talk it among us, you are , you are not going to do it, isn't ".
Taeย coldly,"๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐๐ป'๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ'๐ ๐๐ผ๐ปย ".
Jimin took two steps backwards in disbelief,his vision became blurred because of tears, he was not able to hear anything and kneeled infront of him.
With frozen heartย Jimin," your highness, please ".
But tae didnt minded him and started to walked out.ย He crossed Jungkook .
Jungkook was not able to hold anymore, tears began to flow through his shining big eyes and he said in strong voice while holding tae's hand,"hyung if you leave us now, I won't forgive you ever". But this didn't stop him, he shook his hand off and went away leaving jimin and Jungkook in tears and some unknown feelings.
Outside young namjoon was also waiting . Namjoon with eyes full of tears and blood in his dress said to tae helplessly," as the crown Prince had already made the choice there is no point if I plead right".
Tae walked away from him without giving an eye but at that time nobody saw the tears in his red pearl eyes which would have broken down if someone, someone had asked....
" ๐๐ณ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ข๐บ?" Seo-a's soft voice broke all the glasses and a drop of tear escaped from tae's eyes who was hiding his eyes with his hand and acting asleep.
(They are riding on a carriage ,they left as soon as that incident,tae didnt waited to see anyone after that but Seo-a bid goodbye to everyone and brought a handful of things from chaeyoung, she was crying when Seo-a left)
Tae coldly," won't you allow me to rest for a few minutes ".
Seo-a concerned," you don't seemed to be okay,that is why I just asked with concern"
Tae still like that,'' the reason why I am not okay is because of you".
Seo-a angry," ahh how rude of you ,when I am saying something so lovely, are you acting like this, is this how a ruler should be"
Tae waking up ," what? , are talking to me ?(looking back)"
Seo-a," can you see anyone other than you".
Tae with hurted pride," how can you talk to me like that".
Seo-a cool,"ย like I talked now"
Tae angrily," you".
Seo-a angrily," you?? How can you call me like that, never in my life someone called me like that".
Tae," because you never went outside ".
Seo-a,"that was offensive".
Tae became silent and soon in a tiny voice," sorry ".
Seo-a shocked," huh? Did you just apologised to me ". Started to laugh.
Tae offended," stop teasing me, otherwise I ll kill you ".
Seo-a," if you wanted you could have done it before "
(That's true, reasons that could have made Seo-a killed,
Fell into prince almost โพ๏ธ times (tae catched her though)
Feeded tae by her own hand ,abusively
Verbally assauting crown Prince
Ruining the crown Prince dress, most of them accidentally, others.....
Breaking his favourite antique pieces
Going overboard at meetings
Sleeping in crown Prince's bed , not allowing him to sleep
Physically assauling him by jumping on him
and many many many many more)
Tae became silent after thinking about flashbacks.
Seo-a looking at him fondly," ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ข ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ"
Taeย confused, " what did you say".
Seo-a with tiny smile and shining eyes ,"you are not a bad person like everyone says, you are a good man".
Tae coldly and smirking,"do you really think I am a good man just because I apologised to you".
Seo-a looking outside," I might not have seen you for a long time but If you were a bad person then you would have never protected someone whom you had never met in your entire life ( tae protecting Seo-a at their wedding) nor would you have respected a weak princess' s preference (about their first night)nor would you have jumped into a water to save a woman who always threw tantrum ( tae saved Seo-a) nor would you have fought with empress to protect a childish girl ( tae ready to fight with empress to save Seo-a from zilan's accusations) nor would you have allowed someone who always disturbed you to doย what she loved ( tae gave access of all the libraries to her no matter who she is, if his wife or not)nor, nor would you have looked at others with that sad eyes. ( Tae's eyes filled tears but he was able to see her bright face)Your highness I don't know what happened between jimin and you but I can say you are not just a tyrant, you are a good person ".
Tae put his hands on knees and clenched it in pain ,tears started to flow throw his eyes, a tattoo behind him started to shine . Seo-a became anxious and came to his side and hugged and gently patted on his back.
Tae crying badly," Seo-a I made a mistake ,a big mistake".
Seo-a with gentle voice," it's okay people can make mistakes, it's okay we can find a solution together, ๐ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ".
Tae's grip slowly loosened, his cry faded his eyes closed,( tae's mind some voices)
you are a crown Prince,you should not make mistakes
That's not a mistake if you are the one
You cannot go back to the past to change mistake
Just hide it, don't allow others to know
Repeat it untill you make no mistake
Blame others if you made mistake ( every voice faded from his mind now there is only one voice a sweet beautiful voice) " it's okay people can make mistakes, it's okay we can find a solution together, I am with you".
Tae said with a smile watching light entering the dark room he was trapped "๐ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ ๐ง๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ" .
