A Tweak In Time (KTH) •Ongoing•

▶ Chapter II

But when he opened his eyes, he felt his heart drop to his knees.

His jaw was barely hanging and eyes bigger than saucers. It was like he had been sucked out of life and his face grew visibly pale. He almost had an accident just now and now facing this issue is too much for his already weakened heart.

There was a lady, a freaking lady, clad in the dampened vibrant hues of the old traditional dress of Korea, a hanbok.

She was horribly drenched, from head to toe, and her complexion was even paler than the moon itself. Clothes were in a an even darker shade as it was whiplashed with water and her hair bun was lopsided. She innocently blinked her eyes at him as she sat perched on his fur rug.

Shock was printed on both of their faces as they took in the sight of each other before Taehyung finally raised his finger and broke the silence with an accusatory tone.

"Who are you?! And what are you doing in my house!? Where did you come from?! How did you get in!?" She remained stationary at all those question thrown at her as she watched Taehyung go through a mental breakdown in front of her eyes to which she just blinked in response.

Grunting, Taehyung looked over to her in anger, "Can't you speak?! Who are you!?"

For the first time they met, she finally showed him a reaction which relieved him to see that she was indeed not deaf or dumb.

Her thin eyebrows knitted together as they formed a V-line shape on her face. A tiny frown was playing on her lips as she squinted her eyes at him.

"You can't speak to the Princess like that. It's utterly disrespectful and I shall inform the King to behead you for this kind of treatment to his daughter." Her dulcet and calm tone made Taehyung rage even more.

"You?! You have the audacity to order me around, in my house?! Listen lady, in this corporate world everyone is the king of their own selves."

"Yes, I have."

"Get out." Taehyung calmly stated as he watched her pupils dilate and her lips twist even more.

"No, you get out." She fired back, "I'm the Princess therefore, you have to leave."

"Cut the 'princess' bullshit, this is my house so you leave. You trespassed here yet you think you can command me? Leave, I said. I will not repeat thrice." Taehyung thundered at her as she shot daggers at him through her eyes.

He noticed how her colourless lips quivered for a little until she stormed out of his apartment. He heard her fiddling with the door knob and he was was almost compelled to go help her but then the door went off with a loud slam as Taehyung was left alone in his living room, clutching his fists tightly. He heard the cloud cracking and thunder rumbling outside his window but it was all muffled with the sounds of his own heartbeat.
