At night, I would sneak into the garden.
I just wanted to be where he had been…
To breathe the air he left behind.
To feel his lingering scent.
His scent — a mix of natural sandalwood and soft lavender — calmed my racing heart and brought me peace.
Why sneak in?
Because I knew I'd never be close enough to feel and smell that scent on him.
He always kept his distance.
So this… this was all I had.
The leftover traces he unknowingly left behind. The garden was filled with beautiful flowers that lasted his scent..
There were so many of them—some were even rare.I gently ran my fingers over their soft petals, feeling their texture with a small smile.
The garden was filled with rare, delicate flowers.

I'd gently trace their petals with my fingertips, then pick a few —
Crafting a small flower crown and placing it on my head.
I smiled when I saw the fireflies.
A soft giggle escaped my lips.
My eyes sparkled as I chased them, trying to catch just one.
I failed, of course. I pouted.
But I didn't give up.
I twirled and danced through the garden, giggling — free, if only for a moment.

It was just me…
The moonlight…
The fireflies…
And this beautiful garden where he had once smiled.
But then—
I froze.
My laughter died in my throat.
My eyes widened in shock.
There he was...PRINCE JUNGKOOK.
Standing a few feet away…watching me with an unreadable expression.
Fear gripped me.
I lowered my gaze instantly, standing still and straight, as if being punished
Then I listen his words
Jungkook: "What are you doing at this hour… in Luna's garden?"
His voice was cold and Dominant
Yn: "I… I… I'm sorry, Alpha…"
I peeked up at him, but the moment I met his cold eyes, I quickly looked down again.
"I couldn't sleep… so I came here…"
My voice trembled painfully
"I know it's wrong to come here… but I like this place," I added quickly, afraid he'd misunderstand.
Tears began pooling in my eyes.
"Please… don't tell anyone, Alpha…" I whispered, nervously biting my lower lip.
He still didn't say a word.
Just looked at me.
With those same cold, unreadable eyes.
Then he raised his hand—
I flinched.
Stepping back in fear, I said in a panic,
"Please don't hit me, Alpha! I promise I won't come here again!"
My voice cracked with desperation, tears spilling freely now.
But he didn't hit me.
He didn't even say a word.
He just… looked.
And then—
He turned away.
Without a single word.
He walked off And I stood there… broken.
Why?
Why do you always ignore me, Alpha ?
Why do you avoid me like I'm a stain in your perfect world?
Why only me !?
That night, I understood....He didn't like me.
Not my presence, not my actions.
Everything about me irritated him.
That cruel realization shattered my heart.
But I couldn't stop myself to falling for him more but ignored like I am No one
I felt that same pain again when Prince Jungkook was seventeen.
I heard he was injured —
A deep cut on his back during sword training.
My heart clenched.
I couldn't stay still.
I ran straight to the physician's room.
But I stopped at the entrance.
I froze on the spot
His blood...It stained the sheets.
So much Blood
Tears welled up and poured down my cheeks.
He saw me.
But suddenly he immediately pulled the blanket over his back.
Jungkook: "I want to be alone."
His words stabbed deeper than any blade.
I stood frozen and stunned and Blinking through tears.And then—
Yoongi hyung: "Yn? You're here—"
Yn:I didn't answer.
I just kept staring at Jungkook, pleading silently with my eyes.
But he turned away again.
Not even a glance.
Like I was… nothing.
Am I that disgusting to him?
IS HE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ME..!!
Or Don't want to see my face !?
The thoughts shattered me all over again.
Still, I tried to speak — "I want to st—"
But he cut me off.
Jungkook: "Hyung. I want to be alone. Close the doors."
His voice echoed — cold, commanding, dominant.
Yn:I bit my lip to hold back the sob threatening to escape.
I wanted to beg — to say, "Let me stay by your side."
But he didn't look at me...Not even once.
I turned to Yoongi hyung.
He looked at me with pity.
That made it worse.
I gave a broken smile through my tears.
"I'm going."
Yoongi: "Yn—"
Yn:But I was already gone.
I heard the door thud shut behind me.
I closed my eyes tightly.
But didn't stop walking.
My vision blurred,
My heart aching.
I kept moving… until I collided with someone.
??: "Yn?"
They looked shocked seeing my tear-stained face.
It was Ari...Without a word, I threw myself into her arms.
My best friend...My sister in all but blood.
She held me tightly as I cried, letting everything I'd buried for years pour out.
She tried to comfort me.
Told me maybe Jungkook didn't want me to see his Wounds
But she failed convince to me.
Because she hadn't seen his eyes.
She hadn't heard his voice when he told me to leave.
I knew what I was to him.
Just a burden.
A shadow.
A mistake.
Just his mistress in name.
But his coldness…
His silence…
That hurt more than anything else in the world.
Why does he only treat me this way?
I cried harder in Ari's arms.
She knew everything.
She'd been there for every heartbreak, every time Jungkook looked past me like I wasn't even real.
She was furious with him.
Angry that he kept hurting me.
Angry at how he broke me with his silence and distant eyes.
Because Ari saw the truth.
She knew how many times I cried over Prince Jungkook.
And that night…
She held me close while I fell apart.
