The King's Obsession

42.

Seokmin: I just tied your ankle, honey. So that you won't try to run away. You're free to explore this beautiful room. I didn't held you captive.

Seokmin swiftly snatched the vase from your hands and kept it back to its own place. Seokmin turned towards shocked you.

Y/n: Who changed my clothes?!

Seokmin: Don't worry, maids changed your clothes. I didn't touch you....yet.

Seokmin's hand went towards your left cheek and slowly caressed it. But later you quickly shoved his hand off making his smile to drop.

Y/n: Don't touch me.

You quickly moved away from seokmin, walking towards the bed and sat on it. But soon his frown was replaced by his smile....a mysterious smile.

Seokmin walked near the cupboard and took out a thin sketch book from it. He walked near you and sat beside you.

Seokmin: I was the one who helped your brother.

Y/n: You r-really did?

-You looked at him in shock.

Y/n: W-why did you help him?

Seokmin: To destroy Daegu. Seungcheol is smart as me. He will soon know that I was the one who helped jeonghan.

Y/n: Why do you want to destroy Daegu?

Seokmin took a long breathe before answering you.

Seokmin: Because they took my mother's happiness.

Seokmin: I just want their kingdom to fall down. I want Queen Rebbeca to know how it feels like to be inferior.

Y/n: B-but why did you took me here? Why did you tied me here?

-seokmin leaned closer, his neutral face staring at your confused one. seokmin handed you a dusty sketchbook and smirked

Seokmin: You will know.

Seokmin got up and made his steps towards the door. He looked at your face before going out of the room.

You opened the book only to see some few old sketches.

Y/n: Is he an artist?

You slightly smiled when you saw Miho and Jihoon's sketch. They both were smiling happily.

"Siblings"

-You read it.

Your smile dropped down, your face frowned as you saw a familiar girl's sketch.

Y/n: Who is she?

Your heart stopped for a moment when you read her name.

Y/n: Hong Y/n. Wait! Is that me?

You quickly turned the page and found your sketch again.

Y/n: "She seems upset when her father told her to marry the King of Gwangju."

Y/n: How did he knew that I was upset?

-You again turned to the next page.

Y/n: "Her laugh is so beautiful. I could see whole universe reflect in her crescent eyes."

You stared at the beautiful sketch of yours. Your fingers traced on

the piece of art. Every inch of your beauty reflected in the sketch.

You gulped when you saw next sketches. He sketched you with his fantasies.

"I want to write all my words that I need to confess on her body with my lips."

"A kiss on her forehead with an empty heart of mine."

"Curves of her lips always make me to destroy them with a sinful bliss."

"She's my poetry. A poetry with full of beauty, charm, a beautiful seductress with a innocence on her face.

You face heated up, feeling scared and awkward. You felt weird to know that the prince was your admirer. You turned the page and saw a beautiful sketch of young lady holding a baby.

"My mother holding me. My father is a great artist, isn't it? Now I know that from where a beautiful talent sprouted in me.

You stopped for a while when you saw a sketch of two babies.

Y/n: Is he and Jihoon or-

Seokmin: It's me and my childhood friend.

You flinched by the sudden voice of seokmin making you to drop his sketch book. He came in the room while eating an apple.

Seokmin: I went to have an apple.

His face was neutral, no emotions of nervousness or any affection towards you, nothing just a blank face. He picked up the sketch book and plopped on the bed.

Seokmin: It's me and seungcheol.

Seokmin smiled when he noticed your shocked face.

Seokmin: My father was very fond of the sketching when he was young. My mother and rebbeca were like friends and they were pregnant at the same time.

Seokmin: Me and seungcheol were born in the same year. My mother used to trust rebbeca until she betrayed my mother.

Seokmin: rebbeca had affairs with my own father and my mother couldn't handle the situation. My father always loved rebbeca and rebbeca took the advantage of it. After 8 years, my mother committed suicide. From that day, rebbeca never let seungcheol to meet me and seungcheol started to hate me for no reason.

Seokmin took another bite of his apple.

Seokmin: I am not telling you my story to have pity on me.

Y/n: But seungcheol did nothing to you. Why you are making him suffer?

Seokmin: Because I want you.

You looked at seokmin in disbelief.

Y/n: You are psycho!

Seokmin: I never touched you in an inappropriate way, never forced you, only admired you from the distant and you are calling me a psycho?

Y/n: But you took me here against my will, you tied me here, you almost ruined my and seungcheol's life to have me?

Seokmin: I ruined his life not just to take you away from him. You are just my muse....which I admire the most.

Y/n: I am not an antique peice, seokmin! You can't keep me locked here forever

Seokmin pushed you down and hovered above you. He pinned your hands next to your head and stared in your eyes.

Seokmin: seungcheol already hates you, Y/n. Don't test my patience. Otherwise you don't know what things I can do to you that you can't imagine in your whole life. You've nowhere to go now.

Y/n: What will you do? Torture me? Kill me? Rape me?

Seokmin: Rape is a better option among them. And I will make sure that we both enjoy it.

-seokmin said in sarcastic tone

Seokmin moved away from you, his strong gaze didn't leave your sight for once.

Y/n: For god sake, let me go!!

-seokmin locked the door of your room and went outside.
