Mournful but Rageful
*Gwangju Palace*
Everyone were mourning for the sudden death of their king.
The whole palace was a crying mess.
But there was one person who didn't let a single drop of tears fall from her eyes.
She was standing there in front of her brother's dead body looking lifeless, emotionless.
Jaehyun : Sister, it's okay to cry.
Yuri : I won't.....It's not time yet. I have to find the killer of our beloved brother.
Jaehyun : Yuri-ah.....
Yuri : You should take care of Irene. She must be having a hard time now.
Jaehyun : Yeah....she didn't eat anything the whole day. I think you should go and see her once.
Yuri : Okay.
*timeskip*
Yuri knocked on Irene's door.
*no response*
She tried to open it but it was locked.
Yuri : IRENE ! OPEN THE DOOR !
She kept banging on the door.
The guards came running to her hearing the noise.
Yuri : BREAK THR DOOR NOW !!
Two of the guards broke the door open.
Yuri rushed inside along with her ladies.
She saw a pale Irene lying on the floor.
Yuri : IRENE !!!!!!!!!
She ran to her and kneeled down.
She took her head and put it on her lap.
Yuri : Irene-ah....No ! You can't do this to me. You can't leave me too...Please no...SOMEONE CALL THE PHYSICIAN RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!
The guards ran outside to call the physician.
*timeskip*
Physician : Good that you called me here sooner, Your Highness. Or else it would have been too late. She took lots of sleeping aid which resulted her to this.... *poiting at Irene* It's even a miracle that she survived after taking so many pills. But I'm sorry that I couldn't save the baby.
Yuri : Baby????
Physician : Yes, Your Highness. She was 4 weeks pregnant.
Yuri : What ???
Physician : I should take your leave now, Your Highness...
Yuri just nodded at her.
She asked all of the maids and guards to leave.
She was alone with Irene now.
She sat next to her sleeping figure.
Yuri : Why didn't you tell me about the baby...? Did Hoseok know ? *sighs* I couldn't even save any of them.... That's why I have to save you now. I can't let anything happen to you too...You are like a sister to me, Irene-ah..... You have seen my birth and we have been together since childhood.....I can't lose you too now.... You are my only sanity left. So please......don't do anything stupid anymore.....
A tear left Irene's eyes.
She opened her eyes and looked at Yuri with her teary eyes.
Irene : Yuri-ah...... I lost him.....I lost him to death.....
She bursted into tears.
Yuri hugged her tight.
Yuri : Shush......I promise I'll make the one responsible for all this to suffer. I promise to make him suffer myself....I promise Irene-ah....I promise....
Irene : My baby.........
Yuri broke the hug and looked at her.
Irene : My baby, Yuri-ah !!!!!!! My baby !!! I lost my baby too !!!!!! What kind of a mother am I ?!!!!! I killed my own baby!!!!!!
She started crying harder.
Yuri hugged her tight.
Yuri : It's not your fault, Irene. Shush...
Irene : I killed our last existence of love .......
Yuri : Shushh.....
*timeskip*
Irene kept mumbling while sleeping.
Yuri stayed with her the whole night.
Irene would sometimes wake up and cry hard, then go back to sleep.
Yuri, herself was too tired but she couldn't stop thinking about the killer.
Yuri : Who would do this to my brother ? My brother never really had any enemies as he was too kind and friendly...... I wonder who is that monster who ruined my whole family.....
She clenched her hands and gritted her teeth thinking about the killer.
Yuri : I won't forgive you for taking my only family from me.....
*next morning*
Yuri didn't sleep at all as she had to take care of Irene.
It's not like they don't have servants here. But Irene wasn't in any situation to be controlled by any of them so Yuri decided to stay or else Irene would have killed each and everyone of them.
Yuri looked at sleeping Irene.
She patted her hair and gave her a short kiss on the forehead.
She got up and went to her room to get freshen up and changed.
Yuri came out of the bathroom after changing into her clothes.
She saw Jungkook sitting on her bed.
As soon as he saw her, he ran to her and hugged her tight.
Jungkook : Sorry love, I couldn't come sooner. I was in the training center when I heard about it and it took a while to get out of there due to the sudden attack of anonymous people.
Yuri hugged him tight.
Jungkook could feel her trembling in his arms.
Jungkook : It's okay. You can cry on my arms. I'm here for you, bear. And I won't ever leave you. I promise.
Yuri bursted into tears.
Yuri : They took my brother, ggukie ! They took my only family!! I have no one now ggukie-ah ! I have no one....
She fell on her knees along with Jungkook.
Jungkook : How dare you say you have no one ! I'm here. Your love is here. And I won't let anyone harm my bear. I promise love. I promise that I'll soon marry you. You will have a family. We will make our own family. I will make you happy.
He cupped her face and kissed her gently.
Yuri : I love you Jungkook-ah.... I really do....
Jungkook looked at her with teary eyes.
She never told him how much she loved him cause she thought it was cringey and useless to say those words when you can just express it with action.
Jungkook : I love you too, my princess.... I love you the most.
He pecked her teary cheeks and picked her up.
He took her to her bed and laid her down on the bed.
He put a blanket over her body and sat next to her.
He was patting her head while saying,
Jungkook : I'll always love you, my princess. I'll never leave you. I'll forever be with you.....
He pecked her forehead and she fell asleep as she was too tired.
But before sleeping she mumbled this one thing.
Yuri : Thank you Jungkook-ah......
