Do you know that everything in life happens for a reason? Behind every move and every breath there is a hidden reason which will come to live once the end has been reached.
+
One move affects the other and like a play of dominos they will collapse onto each other and form a line, the line which leads us to this unknown destination we are heading to, the unknown destination we are eagerly walking towards while asking the same question "when will we reach it" ? When will the paper of this chapter flip and start a new page? Will the new page erase the memories from the last pages ?
No, because in the game of dominoes which we call "life", every move affects the other with a magical reason deeply engraved inside it and we will follow the path to this unknown destination while colliding, crashing, falling but rising again..
Taehyung's POV

Gone,
Is the smile from my lips
Gone,
Are all my dreams and wishes
Gone,
Is the love inside my eyes
Gone,
These walls are talking to me
Gone,
My breath has left.
Gone,
There is no trace left
Gone,
I am left with these shadows
Gone,
The whimpers replaced her
Gone,
I am lost in a place without light
Gone,
She went to a distant place
Gone,
She is gone.

The long trail of my red coat swayed through the empty hallway, my foot stamps were the only sound echoing through the hall along with the liquid of the almost empty bottle in my hand moving along with my steps and crashing against the brown glas surrounding it.
I stopped and looked down at my hand around the bottle, I smirked before taking a last sip of it and throwing the bottle on the ground and clenching my fingers around the emerald ring which I haven't put down since 92 days.
1
I watched it shatter into million pieces, each piece echoed through the castle but the only thing that was echoing through my veins were her laugh.
With this I opened the door to the garden and stumbled outside the noon colored backyard.
"Wow wow" I tried to balance my body when my eyes suddenly fell on the red rose garden.
My chest heaved up and down while my fingers clenched into a fist.
"They all left but you are still here?" I threw my head back and started bursting into laughter.
I couldn't help but laugh for myself, laugh to over sound her laughter in my ears, laugh to forget the remorse of her void in my chest.
I lowered my eyes as my laughter died down while slowly walking towards the bloody roses.
I kneeled down and watched them carefully, tilted my head to the side, grabbing one rose and feeling it's thorn slowly digging into my flesh.
I bit on my lips while blood started dripping on the ground.
I gritted my teeth and wrapped my fingers around the petals, caressing it with my thumb before ripping it from the ground, one by one, thorns scratched and digged into my flesh.

I knew all too well that I would never be in her position because I was ju..."LEAVE! LEAVE JUST LIKE THEM! LEAVE!!!" I screamed while grabbing my sword and pointing it towards the last rose.
With my wounded hand I wiped the sweat of my face while smirking at the last rose.
"Now. only the two of us are left. How does it feel hmn? How does it feel seeing your loved ones disappear one by one right in front of your
eyes ?!"
I caressed my sword with my index, the trace of the blood dripping from my index was shining on the sword in my hand.
"Red.. IT'S RED AGAIN!" I growled but stopped when I heard someone laughing at me. I froze and turned around but nobody was to be found, I gulped when the laughter sounded again, disappeared and sounded again, disappeared and came back again.
"WHO ARE YOU ?!" My voice echoed but the answer died in the silence.
"Time" The voice answered and I frown
"Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock" I looked around, searching for the sound, blood started boiling inside my veins.
"You can never catch me King, I have won!" The voice started laughing while I was screaming and swinging my sword into nothing.
2
"Catch me, Catch me, Catch me" The voice giggled while all I could see was red, my arm wouldn't stop swinging the sword, my eyes wouldn't shut until I won the fight.
I felt someone's hand around my shoulders trying to stop me while I was screaming.
"Your majesty please stop!" Jimin skillfully grabbed my sword from me and threw it on the ground.
"NO!!" I screamed, eyes wide open while staring at my blood printed on the sword.
In the end it was my own blood sticking on my sword..
"Please don't do this to yourself" Jimin started shaking my shoulders trying to pull me out of this trance but I pushed his hands away because it was already too late.
"Why are you still here?" I asked him while my hands were twitching.
"I can't leave you in this state" He answered firmly and I huffed
"It was a demand warrior" I glared at him while he didn't even flinch as he was looking at me.
"Your wish was always my command your majesty but this time I can't fulfill it, forgive me" He lowered his head while I looked away, fighting with that something inside my eyes itching inside my eyes.
"Leave Jimin, I don't want someone by my side when death comes to take me away" He immediately lifted his head and his eyes widened in fear.
"I will serve the King until my last breath"
Jimin smiled before picking up my sword and placing it in my shaking hands
"That's what I promised to her your majesty"

Y/n's POV
"She needs to recover, I suggest you to stay a little longer in Daegu away from the environment she grew up in which might affect her negatively, her body is still in a so called traumatic shock state which takes some time to heal-"
I groaned in pain pinching my eyes together and holding my forehead, my throat was burning and my body felt sour.
"Y/n? Can you hear me ?" An unfamiliar voice said which made me flinch and exhale slowly before opening my eyes to a man I have never seen before.
My pulse was beating and my eyes widened, I blinked and let my eyes shift around the unfamiliar room, I stopped and gulped down the growing lump inside my throat while meeting their gazes
"Y/n!" Lisa immediately kneeled in front of me and wiped my sweat away. I shuddered when her cold hands touched my skin which made her glance worriedly at me.
"I'm sorry" She whispered while letting her arm fall on her side.
"I'm okay" I assured her, my throat started burning and making me flinch when I heard my hoarsely and almost broken voice.
I glanced at Jisoo who was sniffling and Rosé who was smiling in relieve at me.
I gulped and adverted my eyes from them and glanced at the stranger with broad shoulders in front of me.
My skull was throbbing which made me whimper as I was pressing my eyes together.
"Hello Y/n, I'm Jin a doctor and the friend of the boy who found you in the gallery. Can you remember what has happened ?" The man asked me carefully and I pressed my lips together when the memories flashed in front of my eyes which made me close my eyes and inhale deeply.
10
I nodded and froze when I remembered what
I've seen right before everything turned black.
I flinched roughly when the door to this unfamiliar room suddenly opened and made me dig my nails in to the bed sheets.
"Oh my god Y/n you are awake!" I gulped and started blinking in confusion at the person who I would expect the least to see here.
"Jennie..?"
1
Jennie is an old friend of Rosé who met us through her and who also majors in acting. Her classes are different than ours yet we still meet her from time to time, which brings more questions to what she's doing here?
"Hey Y/n" She smiled warmly and I nodded while blinking softly at her.
Lisa immediately rushed towards me when I tried to sit up and helped me by placing the pillow behind my back pulling the sheets over my legs.
"W-Where are we ?" I gulped while glancing and them in confusion.
"That's a long story.." Jisoo looked at the others before taking a deep breath and starting to explain to me everything.
"This is the vacation house of Jennie's boyfriend, actually the boy who has found your unconscious body in the art gallery was luckily the friend of Jennie's boyfriend. He carried you outside where we were standing, waiting for the reception to call an ambulance.
5
They have explained us that it would take a minimum of 40 minutes till the ambulance would reach the gallery. We were literally panicking but then when saw Jennie rushing out of the gallery, she explained to us that the best friend of her boyfriend is a doctor and their vacation house is only 15 mins away from the gallery, so we decided that it would be the best to take you here and I can't explain you how glad we are that you finally woke up after three hours." Rosé caressed my hair and I nodded.
I gulped, feeling the shaking of my hands increasing, I lowered my eyes to avoid their gazes.
"I'm so sorry" I whispered while fiddling with the bed sheet.
I was pulling all of them into something they were still trying to proceed, something out of this world, something so cruel but beautifully forbidden at the same time.
"Don't say that Y/n, you don't have to be sorry for anything, it's our fault, we brought you to that place without considering your state." Jisoo said and I bit on my lower lip while averting their gazes.
"Do you remember what you have seen before passing out ?" The stranger in front of me asked as I moved my eyes over to him.
I pressed my trembling lips together and nodded, I was afraid, afraid that what I saw was a dream, an imagination which was too good to be true.
"Did it scared you ?" He asked me carefully and I frown remembering the vivid memory which drained all of my energy.
Flashback
"Hey are you fine? Did you hurt yourself?" I flinched when someone placed his cold hand on my arm and a familiar voice ringed inside my ears.
My eyes widened when I slowly proceeded whom the voice belonged to, my heart started racing, my palms were sweating while tightening the grip around the petals, a cold shiver ran down my spine while goosebumps rose upon my whole body, my stomach started twisting when I found the courage and dared to turn my head over to the person who was kneeling in front of me, a dark cap sitting on his golden hair while he carefully tilted his head to the side when a tear escaped my eyes as I was staring at him.
J-Jimin? H-How.?!
"Jungkook go and call someone! Fast!!" I couldn't move my body nor could I breath or find my voice to speak, I couldn't proceed everything that was happening around me, it was a dream which started some time ago, a fairytale, a nightmare, a fight with the reality, pain and tears, what was it really?
What is reality and dream?
Am I dreaming again?
Or is it this time the reality?
When he turned his head to the side and I watched him in a trance my lips parted in shock, tears slowly running down my cheeks another person came to view. He was standing a little bit far from us but close enough to let me see his mask covered face for a brief moment and dark alluring eyes piercing through me before I lost the control of my limbs and slowly everything turned black.
End of flashback
"What have you seen?" He asked me while noting something down.
I glanced up at him and frown while remembering what I've seen last before everything turned black.
The two pair of dark alluring eyes I would recognize blindly
But I knew I was imagining, my mind was a pure mess and the boy who just looked like Jimin couldn't be real either.
It was all my mind who was trying to play a game on me
"There was someone who reminded me of someone I cherish" I answered absentmindedly while averting my eyes from him and staring at my fingers.
"Your friends have told me that you went through something very traumatic, your body is affected by your mind, while your mind is trying to proceed everything your body can't keep up with all the thoughts regarding to that specific event which has happened to you.
That's why I suggested to your friends to stay a little longer in Daegu if possible because this environment has a healing atmosphere which will help you to set free what you have been holding onto. Jennie is like a little sister to me and are her friends including you, if there is something I can help you with you can contact me while staying in Daegu." He explained to me with a friendly smile remaining on his lips.
I bit on my lips while glancing at the girls who were standing around me and Lisa who was kneeling in front of me.
"Guys why don't we just spend the time we are here on vacation together? Jin can keep an eye on Y/n while we all spend some time and explore Daegu together, what do you think ?" Jennie grinned at us before winking at me and and making me smile unconsciously.
"Look, there she is smiling" Lisa pointed with her index at me while I shook my head at her.
"I think that's a great idea" Jisoo nodded while I pressed my lips together, drown in suffocating thoughts.
"Do you agree Y/n?" Rosé asked me worriedly and I first hesitated to answer but then my eyes fell on my finger and the missing place of the ring Taehyung grandmother gave me.
It was just one road
And the same destination
"I... I agree" I nodded while glancing at my ring finger.
Mavbe this is the destination I was meant heading to, maybe the whispers of the forest and the dark irises in the castle were leading me here.
Maybe destiny is trying to calm the pain of our souls Taehyung.
Taehyung's POV
The wedding table was placed on the blood table
The boy was from the killer's family
The girl was from the victim's family
A girl with thousands of dreams, dreams that got crushed behind a grudge
This is what happens if you rinse blood with blood.
Goodbye world goodbye,
this lover's heart is burning,
all he wishes for is happiness for his moon
it's the lover's last night
how is he feeling?
Eyes running red, the color he hates
It's the night of his death
Goodbye my love,
Goodbye world
I glanced at the red liquid forming on the floor, my throat was burning as I was coughing and seeing the redness increase on the floor.
"I-It's r-red" I breathed out while smiling weekly
I felt a presence in the room, warmth rose through my body.
"Y-Y/n?" I smiled with my eyes closed, throat burning, toes curled in pain, sweat running down my temples.
"Aera." She answered and I smiled when Y/n's voice filled my ear, an angelic humming, a soft breeze of the late summer afternoon's when we rode through the fields.
"Taehyung look at me!"
I heard voices, sword scratches, screams, fast foot stamps
"DON'T TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed while standing up and stumbling over my own feet.
My vision was blurry, no matter how much I rubbed over my eyes all I could see were lights and shadows, I screamed in frustration.
The yearn to see her face again was burning weakly in my chest, afraid to forget her features her body's scent which roses were envied of.
Dark long waves playing with the summer breeze, her laugh was the my sleeping memory, afraid if I forgot her, I would lose her.
And in the end I lost her
I forgot her
Red rinsed the blue
Drown me in blood
They say you will see who you love the most right before death calls you
I have waited for you until my very last breath
But the doors of this castle remained forever closed.
Goodbye world,
Goodbye my love,
3
Goodbye,
Y/n
Y/n's POV
The steps felt heavy while I was holding onto Lisa's arm to not collapse down the stairs, my knees were weak and I was lacking energy, as if someone ripped my soul apart, as if I was only living to survive..
My eyes were focused on my feet and the stairs in front of us, one breath after the other while walking down the brown wood.
It wasn't hard keeping my eyes open, it was hard to gulp without flinching, it was suffocating feeling the tears welling up in my eyes.
Will they eventually dry out?
"Oh sleeping beauty finally woke up"I held in.
My eyes widened while staring at my foot, my chest heaved up, heartbeats fastened.
It was all a dream, I said to myself
What if it wasn't ?
I slowly lifted my head, gulping and gripping onto Lisa's shirt out of fear with a hint of excitement.
And when my eyes met his I lost the strength of my legs and almost stumbled over my feet as he and the others sitting there immediately stood up and Lisa held me right before I could fall with the other's walking down the stairs right behind us.
I froze, my chest rose and I held my breath as I was looking at him.
How could that be ?!
"J-Jimin.?" I whispered to myself, eyes wide open while blinking and trying to proceed while this man looked like the Jimin I knew, why I saw him in the art gallery and why he was here.
Why and how on earth ?!
"Can you walk Y/n?" Lisa's voice pulled me out of my trance and I shuddered, I slowly adverted his eyes and glanced at Lisa without saying a word.
"Y/n?" Her lips started moving but I couldn't hear a single sound, my heart was racing and my palms started sweating.
"J-Jimin" I breathed out, she frown while furrowing her eyebrows.
Confused she turned her head towards the others standing right behind me while I was absentmindedly staring into nothing.
"Y/n they are staring at us, let's first walk down the stairs Okay?" Lisa whispered while I glanced at her, eyes begging for answers but I knew there was nobody who could give me the answers I was seeking for.
I nodded and we started walking down the stairs while my body was shaking, Lisa noticed it and glanced at me while tightening her grip as I was gulping and trying to not let my eyes wander to the boy who was still standing right
there.
When we reached the others I slowly lifted my eyes from the ground and flinched at the two boys standing up from the couches and approaching us.
"You must be Y/n" I gulped when my eyes met the blonde haired stranger in front of me.
"Y/n this is my boyfriend Kai" Jennie suddenly appeared from behind me and linked her arm with the stranger.
8
I nodded, my lips were pressed together from the shock of whom I have just seen.
"And this is Jimin, you have met him in the art gallery"
Jimin
Jimin
Jimin?!
"J-Jimin?" My voice was shaking as my eyes widened and I inhaled deeply trying to find the courage to look at the boy who was almost standing one and a half meter away from me.
I slowly glanced his way and gasped when our eyes met, a sudden pain waved through my body, making me grit my teeth while staring unbelievably at him.
He tilted his head to the side as he arched an eyebrow and waved his hand in front of my face.
"Did my beauty shock you that much pretty girl?" He smirked while staring at me as someone scoffed next to me.
1
"Cocky much?" Rosé crossed her arms in front of her chest drawing his attention towards her and giving me the opportunity to stare at him.
His eyes were the same
His voice, his face shape
His height and his body shape
Everything was the same.
"Namjoon that would be awesome!" We immediately turned our heads over to where two boys just casually walked into the room.
1
And I froze, I could positively feel every limb freezing inside my body while staring at them.
I scoffed while running a hand through my hair.
"This must be a joke right?! Who is trying to play me ?! WHO ?!" I screamed while pointing with my index at everyone.
4
"Y/n calm down, what's wrong ?" Jisoo walked towards me but I raised my hand.
"Don't" I said through gritted teeth while gulping down the painful lump inside my throat.
I stepped back while staring between the guy who just looked liked Jimin and the two other boys who have just walked into this room.
One of them looked exactly like that one tall guard who threw me in the middle of those courtesans
And the other
Looked exactly like Taehyung's little brother
Jungkook.
I started shaking my head, I'm not insane! Stop playing games on me! Stop it!
I'm not insane
I'm not insane
Rosé was about to walk towards me as I was walking away from them but I warned her with my teary eyes and she held in.
"Y/n what is torturing you? I can help you, you just need to talk to me" The stranger who claimed he was a doctor stepped forward.
Talking to you ?
You, who would never believe any of my words
I started laughing while shaking my head in frustration.
"I wish you could help me, I really wish you could find the cure to this suffocating insanity"
A tear rolled down my cheek which I immediately wiped away while still walking away from them, from the faces who were hunting me down my sleeps and now appeared out of nowhere right in front of me.
"Y/n we are here for you, we understand you, we will go through this together" Lisa begged me with her eyes while i wiped another tear away.
"You don't Lisa, I can see how hard it is for you to believe in something like this, I can see Jisoo trying her best to believe what I have seen but it's not convincing for you two. I can't believe all of this either and that's exactly what drives me crazy, I'm going insane and I can't do anything about it" I sniffled while wiping the tears with both of my hands away.
The hall went silent as I was walking away from them while lifting my head and staring at the three boys. I licked the salty tears from my lips while pushing my hair out of my face.
"Things have been rough the past few days but it will pass, you are not insane Y/n, you have had a traumatic experience, it will pass I promise you that" That man called Jin took another step towards me while I was fighting with my tears and hitching for breath.
I wish I could trust you
I smiled bitterly while averting my eyes from him
"He said the same, it will pass, I promise you that, you just have to trust-"
"Y/n!" Lisa said while stepping forward to warn me but it was too late.
It was right at this moment
when my world turned upside down for the second time.

FLASHBACK
"I am here your majesty" Jugyeong's soft voice pulled me back from my thoughts, making me immediately avert my eyes from the Painting to the person who's large back was facing us and made me gulp. A cold shiver ran down my spine when my eyes fell upon the immensely grand canvas of mesmerizing greek goddesses he was standing in front of.
His long and red royal garment was covering his broad shoulders and his hair was dark and perfectly combed.
His dazzling but dangerous aura surrounded us immediately, rising a sudden heat inside my body which gave my cheeks a dark pink shade.
It must be a dream, this couldn't be real
"Jugyeong" I froze when his deep voice sounded and echoed through the grand hall, awakening every cell in my body, making the blood rush through my veins as if my body was asleep all these years and just woke up by the sound of his voice.
My body tensed up immediately while my heart accelerated in a speed I have never witnessed before.
"you wanted to see me" She replied respectfully which was worlds apart from how she behaved towards her little brother.
I on the other hand couldn't even move my body, afraid how I would react if he would turn around. At the thought of this a little excitement rushed through my body.
"you are not alone" He stated deeply, making me gasp before nervously biting on my lips.
His deep voice made the room feel warmer than it should and I could positively feel the shade of my cheeks changing.
I slowly dared to lift my eyes and take another glance at his broad back but something made me immediately hold my breath.
His eyes were staring directly into mine the second I lifted my head and looked at him through the mirroring qlas of the canvas.
My eyes widened and my body tensed when he slowly and gracefully turned his body and revealed his unreal and prepossessing face and the dominant aura he radiated that made me shudder.
My lips parted in awe when his body was fully facing us, my eyes couldn't stop staring at his alluring and sinfully handsome face while my swollen heart was pounding aggressively against my chest which heavily heaving up and down.
I felt dizzy and weak while the heat increased in my body, my mind shut completely down because his alluring dark brown eyes wouldn't stop looking at me and taking my breath
away.
The eyes that would be the death of me
The eyes of the ruler of Mahiron,
King Taehyung of Mahiron

END OF FLASHBACK
It was one last step that made my back hit against a muscular chest, two large hands with slender fingers got placed on my shoulder to stop me from stumbling backwards.
The same heat flashed through my body and blasted through my skull, ran through my veins right into my heart and made it skip two beats, burning tears streamed down my cold cheeks as my breath got stuck within my lungs, my stomach twisted upside down as the heat was slowly suffocating me, filling every vein of my body, awakening every cell, every fiber and filling me completely.
