"Park Jieun?" my brain freezes receiving new information about who I am. Park Jieun. Granddaughter of Grandfather Min. Wait does that mean my real parents are, "That's right, Park Jieun and Park Jimin. You are the children of the late Crown Prince and Crown Princess. In other words, Park Jimin, you are the rightful heir to the throne for this kingdom." "The reason why His Majesty decided not to be excited about having a son or make Taehyung the heir to the throne is because from the very beginning he held the throne only as a temporary replacement until you were old enough to ascend the throne." "Orabeoni, do you know all this?" I asked Yoongi Orabeoni. "Since the beginning you were born in this house, I might be three years old back then, but I saw it all. The reason why your name was changed, why at first only Jimin was appointed into the Min family and you were appointed by Uncle Moonjae's family not just to protect your real identities but also not to separate you because my father knows Uncle Moonjae must be under his protection because he is the key witness. Out there, the mastermind behind the burning of the palace of the late crown prince who killed both of your parents is still hanging around. We are therefore forced to cover everything from you." "We were born here?" "Let me tell you." then grandfather start his story. end Rohee PoV - Author PoV -Flashback- Black smoke filled the crown prince's residence. the bloodied bodies of the palace guards and servants lay just like that. In the back that had not been caught by fire, the crown prince who was covered in blood was trying to help his wife, who was also covered in blood, to get into the horse-drawn carriage. "Crown Prince. You too go up." suggested Moonjae, the crown prince's loyal servant. "My presence will slow down this horse carriage. Quickly take my wife to Lord Min's residence. Sister-in-law can definitely help with her delivery .- " "Crown Princess, I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise to accompany you to the end. But you know I love you too the twins right? " "Crown Prince," "There they are!" "Hurry! Hurry go! I'll hold them!" It was the last time Moonjae saw his master whom he had served so faithfully. Since that night His master never caught up with them, nor did the assassins. The Crown Prince, he saved the future of this country with his life as his payment. - Lord Min can't hold his surprised feel when he saw his youngest daughter come covered in blood from an arrow wound who had hit her chest. "Her water broke! Joori help me stop the bleeding in her wound! Baeshil help me prepare the maternity supplies! Hyunmoo, go to my dad's house and call my mom and dad here! My husband help me bring the Crown Princess to the guest room, faster!" Everyone who was there moved according to the direction of the main Lady of the Min residence who was indeed the daughter of the Royal Healer which of course made her familiar with this situation. Lord Min could only remain silent watching how his youngest daughter struggled to give birth to her childrens. Especially when he heard the story from Moonjae about the residence of the crown prince that has been attacked while they were all sleeping and even the crown prince became a victim in order to protect his daughter. Lord Min immediately asked his right hand to go to the Palace and inform the King about this incident and tighten the guard at his residence. The sound of the first baby crying was heard, breaking the silence of the night. Park Jimin has been born into the world, replaces his father to protect this country in the future from destruction. "grandfather?" Little Min Yoongi in his nightgown approached his grandfather. "You woke up because of the crying of your baby cousins, huh?" Lord Min then pulled Yoongi closer to him and let Yoongi sit on his lap. The sound of a baby's crying that is different from the sound of the previous baby's crying comes back after Fifteen minutes. Shortly thereafter the figure of his son who had now replaced himself as a general came out of the room with a face that made him guess what had happened. "Abeoji, Sihyeon,-" "I know." That night for the first time since his wife's death, the country's best former general shed tears again. That night, little Yoongi understood the meaning of his mother's words about 'even someone become a general, he is still a human' Because that night, for the first time in his life he saw his father and grandfather crying over the death of his auntie. "Abeoji, Haraboji, Yoongi-, Yoongi will look after the baby cousins." Maybe it was just a promise from a three year old boy, but the boy meant it with every word he said. He really did take care of his two younger siblings. - End of flashback- After the shocking facts received by the two twins, now both of them are in a burial mound which is the grave of their parents accompanied by Namjoon, Yoongi, and Jangmi. "Abeoji. Eommoni. Jimin and Jieun are coming." greetings Jimin after they previously paid tribute to both of them. "Abeoji, Eomma, Jieun came with Jieun's future husband. His name is Kim Namjoon, the only son of Chief Scholar Kim." "Annyeonghashimnika Abeonim, eommonim, Kim Namjoon imnida." "Abeoji, Eommoni, sorry because we just got to visit your graves. Haraboji has just explained the facts behind our birth. Abeoji, although we never met but I can feel your love for us. Thank you for protecting us Abeoji. i- I love you so- so much Abeoji. hiks." Jangmi and Yoongi who saw Jimin crying also tapped his shoulder to strengthen him. "Eomma, you are happy there with Abeoji right? Eomma, you and abeoji don't need to worry about us. Yoongi-orabeoni and Namjoon took good care of us until now. Namjoon is even trying to find out who the mastermind behind all this incident is because it seems like the case twenty years ago is related to the case twelve years ago that killed auntie and my adoptive parents. " Maybe because She has been in this position since twelve years ago, Rohee, who is now back using her real name Jieun, is much stronger than Jimin because unlike Jieun, Jimin indeed still had a little hope that his parents were still alive and that one day he could meet them. Due to the fact that his mother's father was gone at the same day when he was born are enough to make his heart hurt because his hope of seeing his parents just vanished. "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I am sure that you will be very proud of the twins. They have grown up to be amazing people. Allow me to ask for your blessing to marry your beautiful daughter, father-in-law and Mother-in-law." End Author PoV - Jangmi PoV After visiting the graves of the crown prince and the crown princess, now we are headed to the graves of my husband's parents, which are located not far from the royal cemetery. Min's Noble family does have their own family burial place that has been around for generations. Yoongi's father and mother, as well as Yoongi's grandmother were buried in the same place so it is not difficult to visit their graves. "Honey, can you guys go first. There are things I want to say to Abeonim and eommonim. "I asked my husband and he nodded. After making sure my husband and our family had moved away from the burial area, I looked back at the grave in front of me. "eommonim, abeonim, I ask for your care and protection for our family. Actually, I'm currently found out if I am pregnant with our first child, but Yoongi-sshi doesn't know it yet. Nobody knows about this except the Kim family doctor and both of you. you guys take it easy no need to worry, I will take good care of this child and love this baby as much as I love this baby's father. Even though I know until now Yoongi-sshi's heart is still attached to that girl named 딸기 , but I will be patient and wait for the time when he can love me. give me the strength to endure this feeling until he can love me eommonim, abeonim." Yes, I heard his conversation just a moment ago with Grandpa Min. About his feelings for the girl he called strawberry. Jealous? Of course. It would be a lie if I wasn't jealous of this because gradually all his sweet treatment to me would make my heart melt by itself. Moreover, the fact that I just got yesterday about my first pregnancy made those jealous feeling even more intense but I tried to endure it because I knew confronting him with something like this was a waste of time. All I can do now is be patient. End Jangmi PoV - Jimin PoV "What is wrong with you?" The question came from the figure who approached me and sat beside me enjoying the view of the river flow being broken by rocks in the river. I don't need to turn my head because I really know whose voice it is. "No, nothing is wrong." "Orabeoni." I turned to her and I could see her eyes were saying 'I know you're lying'. Ah, even after all these years I still couldn't lie to her. "I just got to know the fact that my parents both died on the day I was born. My father died because he trying to protect my mother. While my mother died when she giving birth to me and my twin sister. " "Ji, -Jimin-Orabeoni, Mi-Mianhae." I could see a guilty look on her face. I shook my head. "Si Ah, you don't need to apologize because it's not your fault. I can't deny that getting to the fact that my hopes of meeting my parents have indeed faded, but at least now I know my parents love me, and are even willing to sacrifice their lives for me. they didn't throw me out like I thought, they loved me too much that they even gave their lives for me. What's more, the fact that the girl I have considered like my sister, whom I have always cared for and protected all this time, is in fact my own twin sister. " "You mean the girl named Rohee that you've been telling me all this time is your own twin sister? Woah." Seeing her looking enthusiastic when she heard I have a twin made my heart a little better. Somehow seeing her so made me feel comfortable. "Orabeoni, you must be very happy right? You are no longer alone orabeoni. You have a family." she was one of my closest friends who knew about my loneliness as a child. even though at that time I had Yoongi hyeong-nim, but for twenty years of my life I knew him as my adopted brother. I never knew if I still had a family. During the twenty years of my life I was always prejudiced against my parents, thinking that they had dumped me. "I'm never felt alone anymore Si Ah. because even though at that time I, you, Jeon, Raha, and Jjangie were separated but I know I still have you guys and Orabeoni also Jieun by my side." Si Ah She is the girl I've always been looking for. I have known her since i was ten years old and she was eight years old. She was the girl I would practice swordsmanship with if only Hyeong-nim couldn't accompany me to practiced. I used to always meet her in secret and then play with her, Jeon, Raha and Jjangie. "By the way, have you heard from Jeon? I heard he's currently working in the government. " Jeon? work in the government? "mwo? I don't know anyone named Jeon." end Jimin PoV - Author PoV A handsome young man entered the King's study after the King ordered his confidants to call the figure of the young man to face him. "Investigator Jeon Jungkook salutes you, Your Majesty." "How's your investigation into the southern border?" "There are seeds of rebellion in the South but I managed to cut before they came to the surface, Your Majesty." "Good. Now you go to the border camp in the east. I heard from some ministers that there is abnormal movement in there." "Your Majesty, isn't there Chief Investigator Kim there?" “Minister Song told me that I couldn't completely trust Kim Namjoon. There was something odd about the military fund but he didn't report it. " "Very well, Your Majesty. I will excuse myself." end Author PoV - Yoongi PoV "Where are you Jimin-ah?" I asked that question to Jimin who was seen sneaking into our yard. Somehow lately I feel Jimin is hiding something from me because I often find him in and out of the house sneaking. He sometimes even sneaks in the morning and comes back before breakfast time. "Ah Hyeong-nim. That's uhm- I'm from the river." "Who did you meet there?" I asked further. "nde? I didn't see anyone. Just calming down Hyeong-nim." I sighed heavily at the answer that he gave me. "You know I don't like it when the person closest to me lies isn't Park Jimin? Who is that girl?" "Hyeong-nim, y-you're spying on me?" "Answer me Park Jimin." "Alright. She's Si Ah. The girl I've been looking for." "YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T BE WITH HER NOT PARK JIMIN?" "WHY? BECAUSE SHE IS NOT A NOBLE?" "Jimin-ah, you will become the King of this country one day. It's only right that you are with the girl from-" "From a noble family? My dear Husband, how could you say that? your brother loves her, that's all that matters. After all status it's not the main thing right?" "Kim Jangmi don't interfere. This is Min family business." "So until now I'm not part of the Min family? Ah OK sorry for my impudence General Min. I will not interfere in your family affairs. Excuse me." Seeing the look in her eyes that conveyed pain made me realize the stupidity I had just done. What are you doing Min Yoongi. "We'll discuss this later, Jimin-ah." I said to Jimin then ran after my wife. "Ja,-Jangmi-ya. wait you misunderstood." I held her hand that was about to open our wardrobe. "Where is my misunderstanding General Min? which parts of your words that I misunderstood? You clearly told me not to interfere with Min's family affairs. You clearly emphasized that I am not part of this family. So what am I here for? to decorate your room?-" "You know General Min? I thought you were different from other nobles who thought about status in marriage. But I was wrong." "It's not like that. It's just that, you know Jimin is a person who will become the King of this country. In fact, his coronation was only four months away. Having a partner from among the Nobles would at least ease the task of teaching royal etiquette." "You don't even know the girl Jimin loves. Do you think a guy as smart as Jimin would fall for the wrong girl?" "My dear wife-" "I want to go back to Dad's house. I think I need to give you some space and time to think. Do you want to continue this marriage or not, -" "Because I'm not 딸기, and will never be able to replace the meaning of her presence in your heart. You know from the start I don't want any other woman in this wedding, so think carefully. If you're still expecting her, or expecting me to be like her, then go to her. I'm going back." 딸기? Aish you stupid Min Yoongi. "딸기 are the initials I gave to my first love,-" "I know, you don't need to explain." "Listen to me first. Back when I was twelve, I met her at the market while playing with Jimin. the girl disguised herself as a boy but I knew she was actually a girl. back then her name was Jjangie, and her real name -" "Kiyoon Orabeoni? is that you?" I couldn't help but smile when I heard a call I hadn't heard from her in a long time. "Long time no see, Jjangie." - "Are you still mad?" Seeing her still back facing me when we get ready to sleep after the incident this afternoon made me unable to help but smile. "You are so mean General Min. You should be honest with me that you are Kiyoon Orabeoni. Aish you make me look like an i***t woman who is jealous of myself." "Hey, I thought you wanted to hide the fact that you used to disguise yourself as a boy as a kid? That's why I'm not talking to you about this. Also how come you can recognize Jimin but not me?" "because his face hasn't changed at all, while you have changed a lot. The Kiyoon Orabeoni I know is a gentle person, always open to me always smiling, and always doesn't have the heart to hurt even creatures like ants though." "Well I'm sorry, what happened to my mother brought a little change in my life. But I still smile and open up to you right? I'm being silent is to keep your little secret, right?" "Aish, but still annoying. Anyway why did you change my name into 딸기?" Exasperated by her cute behavior when she sulked like this, I turned her body to face me and I could see her face turning red just like her name. "Because you're sweet but also sour like a strawberry." When I tried to bring my face closer to hers because her strawberry-colored lips looked tempting, this woman stopped me. "no kissing tonight. this is your punishment. Just watch out,-" -cup- Her words stopped because of the kiss I gave to her. "Whatever Min Yoongi wants, he will get it." End Yoongi PoV - Ahra PoV "Where are you going little girl?" -srak- the upper body of the nine-year-old girl was torn off by a group of men. Her tiny body is not comparable to the bodies of the three men who are now attacking her. "Let me go!" "Hahaha, don't worry, once we're done playing with you, we'll let you go straight away.-" "to be auctioned off by our boss." "Please let me go!" The girl panicked even more when the hands of the lecherous men began to caress her body, revealing the cloth underneath. "Andwe!" - "ANDWE!" I woke up from my sleep and found myself in the room that Yoongi Orabeoni had prepared for me. My body feels cold and stiff remembering the nightmare that for some reason always haunts my sleep since the last few weeks. Always the same dream. A little girl was harassed by three animal-hearted humans in a forest that was nowhere to be found. While holding the dagger that Taehyung orabeoni gave me, which I decorated at the end of the dagger scabbard with the pendant that was already with me Even before I was adopted by Prince Jeongmin I used a song that somehow became the only thing I remember before my life at the auction. A hum that always calms me down. end Ahra PoV - Taehyung PoV I tried to stretch my body after finishing my work for the next three days. Being an assistant to the head of the Scholar who is none other than Namjoon Hyeong-nim's father made me used to finishing it before the time. Head Scholar Kim is a nimble person and always finishes things ahead of time. He is a conscientious and serious person in his work, just like Namjoon Hyeong-nim. After making sure I didn't miss anything, I turned off the lighting in my study and went to my children's bedroom to just say goodnight to both of them. Sailing across the Milky Way To the land of clouds. Where does it journey Beyond the land of clouds? Towards the sparkling reflection So far away, To the beacon light of a new dawn. Now, child, find a road. I couldn't help but smile when I found the woman I love humming a lullaby to our two children while breastfeeding Ahreum. "Your singing is beautiful as usual my dear."
