Days passed quickly…Between intense training, the laughter in quiet corners, and stolen glances
I wasn't supposed to steal.Just watching him from a distance..longing for a love I knew I would never receive..A love that wasn't mine to claim.
Still, I held onto it, secretly, silently.
one day—
Yn's POV
We were at the training grounds, swords in our hands, the sun blazing above.Ari and I had been sparring for a while, lost in concentration.
But then…a sudden shift in the atmosphere.
Everyone around us began rushing toward the far end of the training ring..I stopped mid-step, confused.
"What's happening here?" I asked, panting lightly, looking around.
Ari:I looked in the same direction, eyes narrowing.
"They're all going toward the sword fighting ring…!
Let's go, Yn! Let's see what's happening!"
She quickly placed her sword back in its holder and took yn hand.
Yn:I nodded, my heart already racing, and we ran toward the gathering crowd.
But as we pushed past the circle of warriors and trainees, our steps froze.
Yoongi Hyung and Prince Jungkook…
Both stood in the middle of the ring, facing each other—swords in hand.
My heart skipped a beat.Ari gasped, eyes sparkling with excitement.
Ari:"Of course, Jungkook's going to win… He's a Trueblooded Alpha! His strength isn't a joke, Yn!!"
Yn:I looked at her, startled… something tugged inside my chest..I didn't know what it was. Pride?
Maybe… maybe it was.
But I still said, "Come on… Yoongi Hyung isn't bad either. He's strong."
Ari:I grinned proudly."I'm supporting my Alpha no matter what! I'll cheer the loudest!"
Yn:Her excitement made me giggle, despite the heaviness in my chest.My eyes shifted back to Jungkook.
He was preparing, tightening the straps on his wrist guards.His bun was tied neatly, but a few loose strands fell over his eyes—making him look like some kind of divine war god.

His muscles flexed as he moved…veins visible with the pressure of his grip on the sword.
Sweat glistened on his skin, and even in this brutal heat, he looked... perfect.Too perfect.
I swallowed hardly
In the ring, they both took their positions, eyes locked.
Master Lee shouted: "Start!"
Like fire igniting—They launched at each other.
Clashing swords..Sparks flying.
Each strike louder than the last, echoing through the courtyard.
Jungkook moved with deadly precision—every motion clean, cold, controlled.
His face was blank…
unreadable.
His breath heavy but steady.
Yoongi Hyung defended with skill, patience in his steps…
and still, he found moments to counter. Their styles were complete opposites—one calculated and fierce, the other steady and sharp.
But then Jungkook feinted to the left… and in a split-second move, attacked from the right.
Yoongi Hyung's sword flew out of his hand, clattering to the ground.and Jungkook's blade was at his neck..The ring burst into cheers and claps.
Yn:I stared, wide-eyed, stunned by his technique.
Me and him are completely opposite with the tecnics..A giggle escaped me—an involuntary rush of admiration..
Beside me, Ari pouted, folding her arms.I nudged her with a smile.
"You knew who was going to win… so why are you sad now?" I teased gently.
She huffed, her lips trembling.
Ari:"But you know… it's hard seeing your love like this."
Yn:My heart softened instantly.I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight.
"I understand, Ari. But you should be proud.
Yoongi Hyung is one of the few who can fight the Crown Prince for more than an hour.
That's not something everyone can do."She nodded slowly, eyes glistening.
We turned our attention back to the ring, where the two warriors now embraced—in arms.
I smiled, heart full… until our eyes met.
His eyes.Looking at me.I didn't know what was in them.
Hate?
Anger?
Sadness?
Love !?
I couldn't tell.
His face, like always, was cold… emotionless.
Still, my heart fluttered wildly, confused, helpless.
I dropped my gaze down suddenly felt shy.But I glanced back again…Only to see him still looking.
My fingers clenched the sides of my dress.
He never look at me like that…?
But The moment shattered when Master Lee's voice echoed.
Master:"Well done, Your Highness! Are you ready for the travel tomorrow?"
Yn:I blinked confusedly Travel?
What travel…?
But Jungkook,he simply nodded.
Jk:"I am, Master Lee."
Yn:I stood frozen...Travel?..What does he mean?
Where is he going?..
For how long…?
Then Master Lee's next words crushed everything inside me.
Master:"Everyone knows how powerful our Crown Prince is… but he still needs to master foreign techniques.
He will travel to the Qing Dynasty for six months to train under the greatest Master in the world.
When he returns… he will be the most powerful Trueblooded Alpha this land has ever seen."
Yn:The sword in my hand slipped.It hit the ground with a loud clatter..Six months..!?
That word echoed in my mind…
Again…
And again…
Six months…
without him...
Without seeing him..Without feeling his presence, his scent..Tears welled up in my eyes. I blinked fast.
No—don't cry...
But my body betrayed me..I turned and ran.I didn't know where I was going..I just ran
My feet finally stopped near the palace lake.
The water sparkled beneath the moonlight.
I looked at my reflection…
And then—
I shattered it with my hand..Tears finally fell.
"Why am I crying…?" I whispered slowly
We're not mates.
He doesn't love me.
Maybe I do… but he—
He hates me to the core..then why I am crying!?
But Then—
I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I wiped my tears quickly and turned, forcing a smile.Ari..!!
She was crying too..I don't know why..!!
Ari:"It's okay to cry," she whispered. "You don't have to hide it."And with that, she broke into sobs… right in my arms..I held her tight, my hands gently rubbing her back.
"It's okay… It's just six months… It'll pass in a blink," I whispered slowly
Yn:But even I didn't believe it."I'm just worried about him," I sobbed.
"You know how brutal Qing Dynasty's training is… what if—"
Ari:I stopped her with a soft smile."You love him so much," Don't you !?
But She didn't answer.
Just cried harder.
The next morning arrived too quickly.
I hadn't slept. Not a single blink...He was leaving.
Suddenly, the door opened.
I didn't turn around.
Ari: "Yn… let's go. He's leaving…"
Yn:I shook my head, eyes fixed on the floor.
"I don't want to go."
Ari: "If you miss this… you won't see him for six months."
Yn:I closed my eyes..Let the tears fall.Still, I whispered, "I don't want to come… I can't see it."
Then She didn't say anything..Just… walked away.
Later, I slowly walked out to my balcony…
From there, I could see everything.
The courtyard was busy.
He was taking blessings from the King and Queen..Composed..Silent..Perfect.. as always..!!
But then—
I was stunned..Yoongi Hyung… he was going too.
Ari…Did she know?
I had been so lost in my pain, I didn't even notice her pain..Suddenly, I felt her beside me..She didn't look at me
Ari: "I couldn't see him either." whispered slowly with teary eyes
Yn:I hugged her instantly..And then… we looked out together.They walked toward their carriage.
Yoongi looked up—
Eyes locking with Ari's..He smiled..His eyes filled with love for Ari..A soft, assuring smile… like he was telling her,
"I'll come back safely."
She smiled back, even though her eyes were full of sadness.
Yn:I looked at Jungkook..He never looked in my direction.

No goodbye.
No letter.
No words.
Just… nothing...!!
Who are we do all those things..Just Nothing!?
I held my breath—
