Frozen by Heart || PJM

4

Those revelations were the last thing you wanted to hear. Out of all of the women in this kingdom and even the village he could have chosen.. It was you?

A baffled look quickly phased in and immediately you object this. It was a given fact that you did not want to be his queen or let alone his belonging!

"I can't tell if that was a compliment or an insult." You eventually responded back before adding on.

"But I'd rather take it as an insult."

Jimin's icy cold gaze never faltered upon hearing your remark. Instead he hinted a slight smirk as his grip on your face grew significantly tighter.

You winced and felt a lump form in your throat once he guided your face closer. His forehead was just inches away from your, and you could feel his breath fanning over your lips.

"You do realize... Rejecting a compliment from your ruler is a form of an insult?" He murmured his words lowly just enough to hit his lower register.

"And I could kill you for that.." He added.

Of course he would say that. The amount of innocent people he had slaughtered was just horrendous. All for the most selfish reasons, and it annoyed you how he abused his power as the ruler.

"Killing me won't change anything.. I'm not afraid of death." You answered whilst feigning a stern look.

Despite how convincing this act your body behavior betrayed you. There was hints of slight trembles with your knees buckling together almost as if you were cowering.

"Is that so?" Jimin's lips slowly formed a wicked grin.

"You're not afraid of me? Not afraid of death?" He asked whilst tightening his grip on your face. His nails almost digging into your cheek forcing a wince escaping your lips.

The cold look from his gaze darkening by the second causing your breath to hitch momentarily.

God you were so terrified.

No matter how hard you tried to feign a valiant look the signs were just too obvious.

You were scared and there's no denying it.

"Why the silence? Where did that ego go?" Jimin cooed his words out almost as if he was mocking you. You gritted your teeth instinctively and felt your fingers clenched up into a tight fist.

Oh how you wished you could just punch him right now. The desire to put this narcissistic king to his place was truly impulsive. Maybe even steal a kiss from those succulent plump li-

Hold on a second Y/n, let's not get distracted now! Why the hell were you thinking about kissing this man!?

'God Y/n why are you like this?!' You mentally scolded yourself before shaking your head.

This act you were putting up amused Jimin and he couldn't help but wonder, what was going through that little brain of yours?

"But perhaps I could spare your life little girl.." He murmured with a low chuckle leaving his lips.

Oh no.

That laugh could mean one thing and one thing only!

"If you be my queen." Jimin whispered into your ear and you could feel a smirk growing on his lips.

Oh hell no!

"I refuse!" You instinctively blurted out your answer, completely objecting his proposal.

"I don't want to marry you!" Upon responding back you felt another winced escaping your lips as his grip tightened.

You could feel your cheeks beginning to bruise slightly from how hard he was cupping your face.

Not to mention his nails were digging into your flesh, which heightened the sensation to be less tolerable then it was before.

"Now that's not a very smart choice.." He retorted bitterly.

"You're making a selfish reason..."

His grip gradually loosened momentarily as he adjusted his grip. Now lightly grazing his finger against your cheek, tracing the redness there.

You trembled involuntarily. Those cold fingers of his really brought your breath to quiver.

"How is it a selfish reason?" You mustered up the courage to ask.

The corner of his lips would tug slightly forming a cunning smirk.

"Oh you know." He snickered lowly.

"The entire nation is living under my wrath. The eternal blizzard from my control.." His thumb lightly brushed against your cheek, intently stroking on the faint bruise he had left earlier

"And only you can save them.. If and only if you agree to be my queen."

You winced at that remark. How could you have forgotten about that?

The whole point of women offering themselves to him like mere prostitutes for the sake of their kingdom. And you are fully aware how ridiculous it was, but this was the only solution.

No one would ever defy him. He was strong enough to hold off against an entire military. It was unrealistic to believe that was the case, but it was true.

Jimin was a prodigy child since birth possessing potent ice magic, and since then he had been abusing his powers with his kingdom.

If only his father was taking the current throne now...the kingdom would've been a better life. However the harsh reality shows otherwise..

Jimin was the current ruler of their kingdom and there's no fixing that obsidian heart of his.

You contemplated for a moment now pondering with your choices. Was this really for the best?

'If I agree then people wouldn't get starving. They could finally harvest their crops and feed themselves properly..

And even my mother. She would be a lot happier if the storm was gone.'

These overwhelming thoughts would only continue to swarm into your mind. It made more difficult than it should've been.

"Well?" Jimin murmured lowly once more. His smirk holding a deceptive look which churned your stomach.

"Would you rather save the people or continue freezing from my wrath?"

There was only one right answer. As much as you wanted to deny it.. There was no other choice. If it's for the sake of the kingdom to live happily then her sacrifice will not be in vain.

"I.." You swallowed.

"I agree to be your queen."
