Shaking his head Jeongguk held his tie out which jimin gripped tightly.

Walking down the hallway Jeongguk looked at all the painting on the wall. Most of them of gardens and such but one. 

It was a picture of Jeongguk his father and his mother but he saw the women holding something. A baby.

Dear diary

I'm 16 jimin is 18. We might not make it. 20 it's close..

I wondered this past few days if my father cares. I found out a few days ago. There's another child in the house.
I hope this child is still alive. I hope he or she is living well so far. Because I can't take it.

I want to run away with jimin. I want this child to be the next successor.

The big portrait hanging up. I hope it wasn't just a mistake. That child has to be alive.

So I can be happy.

Closing the journal Jeongguk sighed.

"Father. Where's the child".

Looking up while putting down the soon his father looked at Jeongguk.

"What child.."?

"I saw it father. The portrait you tried to hide away? The one in the hallway on the other side of the kingdom"?

Getting up Jeongguk's father walked out the door.

"Are you coming or not Jeongguk.."?

Blinking Jeongguk got up right away to follow his father.

Seeing as they were going to the other side of the kingdom Jeongguk smiled.

Together forever. I promise you. Once this is over we can be together in public.

Stopping at the portrait his father looked at it.

"This one"?

Nodding Jeongguk looked at his father.
