*next day*
Yuri went to Irene's room and knocked on the door.
Irene : Come in !
Yuri went inside and saw Irene sitting by the window, staring off to the space.
She sat next to her and held her hand.
Yuri : Irene-ah....I'm going to the Busan palace now along with Jaehyun for Jimin oppa's coronation.
Irene nodded her head.
Yuri : And I'll take my first step there.
Irene looked at her questionably.
Yuri : He's gonna be there too.
Yuri continued,
Yuri : I know he's gonna come cause I will be there and he won't ever miss a chance to meet me again. So he will surely come.
Irene : Yuri-ah.....whatever you do, please be careful.....but....I still want his head.
Yuri squeezed her hand.
Yuri : Don't worry. I'll make sure this happens.
Irene looked at her with teary eyes.
Irene : I know what you are playing is a very dangerous game. It may even ruin your whole life. But..... I know that you love your brother the most and will do anything for him. Yet please......I request you to come back safely along with success. Also.....with your heart in a single piece....
Yuri looked at her confused.
Yuri : What do you mean ?
Irene : You know.....it doesn't take too long to fall for the one who cares for you and loves you.... Maybe...just maybe, he truly loves or is obsessed enough to keep you all to himself that he took this big step. But I want you to never forget how he ruined your whole family, Yuri.
Yuri : Just tell me what you actually want to say already.
Irene : Don't fall in love with that person.
Yuri started laughing out loud.
Yuri : Are you even hearing yourself ? How could you even think that I, would ever have even a slight bit of feelings that too for a monster like him ?
Irene : Feelings are something you can never stop from growing, Yuri-ah. Cause they never ask for your permission for that....
Irene : Even I never imagined that I would love your brother this crazily...*looks down*
Yuri : Irene-ah....don't forget that I am Jung Yuri. I do what I say. And I would never fall for anyone without my own permission.
Yuri : .....But even if something like this....ever happens....then I promise you......that I will never set my foot in this kingdom.....ever again. You have my words.
Irene : ......
Yuri : But don't worry, Irene-ah... That will never happen. *smiles*
Irene smiled proudly and hugged her.
Irene : That's more like my sister. Be back soon along with good news. Have a safe journey.
Yuri : Yes, I will. Take care. I'll be back soon. Just take care of eomma. She's still in shock. And now you have to be strong and take care of everyone as the Former Queen of Gwangju until Jaehyun brings his own, okay ?
Irene : Don't worry. I am here. I'll take care of everything. You just concentrate on our goal.
Yuri nodded and hugged her for the last time and left the room.
She went downstairs and saw everyone waiting there for her.
Jaehyun : Oh ! You're here ! Did you speak to eomma ?
Yuri : No. She's sleeping now. But I did speak to her before. I bid my farewell from her and asked for her blessings too. She didn't really understand what I meant by that but gave me anyways.
Jaehyun nodded his head.
Yuri : She's still not recovered yet. I think she will need time, so I asked Irene to take care of her.
Jaehyun : You did great, sis.
Jungkook was coming downstairs and saw Yuri talking to Jaehyun.
He hurriedly ran down the stairs and embraced her for a tight hug.
He didn't care about all the people staring at them. He could only see his love whom he didn't see for a whole day.
Jungkook pulled away from the hug, still holding her in his arms and pouted like a child.
Jungkook : Where were you for a whole freakin day, also night ?!
Yuri smiled.
Yuri : I was busy, honey.
She removed a strand of hair from his face.
Jungkook : That busy that you didn't have even a single second to spare for the love of your life ?
Yuri chuckled at his choice of words.
Yuri : Love of my life ? Who's that again ?
She folded her arms over her chest.
Jungkook looked at her in disbelief.
Jungkook : Are you seriously asking me that ? Wahh ! I just can't believe this girl !
Yuri laughed and held his hand.
Yuri : Of course, I know who that person is.
Jungkook : Oh really ? Then please enlighten me, your highness.
He sarcastically says and playfully bows.
Yuri slapped his arm laughing.
She leans towards his ears and whispers,
Yuri : His name is.......Jeon Jungkook.
She leans back and looks at him.
Yuri : You may not know him though.
Jungkook laughed.
Jungkook : You're right. I don't know who that guy is. I never even heard his name ever ! But how dare he be the love of my love's life ?! Hmph !
He playfully puts his hands on his waist pouting.
Both of them then burst into laughter.
Jaehyun : Now, if you are done with your little daily soap drama then shall we ? We are already late, your highnesses. *forced smile*
He pointed towards the door where so many guards were waiting for them.
All of them laughed out loud and started walking to the car that was parked in front of the gate.
But Jimin stayed behind and stared at his little brother's laughing face with a pitiful face.
Jimin : He looks so happy...... *mumbles* I wonder if I'll be able to handle him for what's coming next..... *sigh*
He also starts following them.
