Miyeon leaned in, captivated by Noir's words about Jeongguk's enduring love for Y/n across lifetimes.
A soft smile graced her lips, "No doubt," she whispered, "I fell for him, I knew he would be a great lover, can you tell me if I was able to be with him in at least one universe?”
Noir stared at Miyeon, who was waiting for Noir to answer. “No, he was not the one for you,”
“That sucks.” Miyeon put her head over her knees, while she stared at the pretty city lights. “That means I will never experience love.”
“Who said that? You will, of course.” Noir said.
“Really?” She asked. He smiled and patted her head. He will make sure she experiences it.
“Yes really,” He replied.
“When?” She asked, he moved closer. She stared at him, her eyes widening a little by surprise but she didn't move away as he held her chin.
“Now,” He mumbled, he leaned in, and she closed her eyes. He could feel her heart beating so fast. Noir just smiled while staring at her face. She opened her eyes, and her eyes looked like he had betrayed because he was waiting for him to kiss her.
“How badly you wanna get kissed by me huh?” Noir said. And Miyeon slapped his arm.
“I don't,” she stood up, and decided to leave. Noir followed her, “Don't follow me.”
Noir walked faster than her and blocked her path, he wrapped his arms around her. She looked at him, and he swore he could do anything for her to give him that look. And he kissed her lips.

Y/n exited her college building, spotting Jeongguk patiently waiting outside. Surprised, she approached him, "Jeongguk, what are you doing here? I told you I will come home by myself,”
He grinned, "Thought I'd pick you up. Missed you."
Y/n chuckled, "That's sweet, but I have to stay for a project with my classmates. It'll take around two hours."
Jeongguk nodded, determination in his eyes, "No worries, I'll wait."
Y/n hesitated, "You don't have to, Jeongguk. Dad will send someone to pick me. Go and do your own thing."
Jeongguk shook his head, "I want to wait for you. It's no trouble."
She smiled, "You're too good to me. But go home, I don't want you to wait. See you in a bit then."
Y/n leaned in, kissed him goodbye, he wrapped his arms around her kissing her for a longer time. She breaks the kiss, making Jeongguk groan a little. “I need to go,”
“Can we kiss for two minutes more?” He asked. And was about to kiss her again but she kissed his cheeks.
“Later, right now I need to go.” She joined her classmates for their project work, leaving Jeongguk with a content smile.
Jeongguk wanted to stay but he had some work to do too, so he left. He decided to give her some space and come back after two hours to pick her up.

Y/n hunched over her project. Her classmates were not even interested. “Guys, can we focus on this? This project is really important for me.”
She couldn't come to university for 3 months because of that she lost a lot of credits. And her classmates knew that they were not taking the project seriously and then they all left one by one. “We worked on the project for months, now it's on you to complete it.”
She glanced around to find herself alone, her classmates having left without a second thought.
"Guess it's all on me now." She mumbled. As she continued working on the model, it was true that the idea and design was of other classmates and she started working on the model here.
Jeongguk stood outside in the parking lot, glancing at his watch. Two hours had stretched into what felt like an eternity. He hesitated, giving her the benefit of the doubt for an hour, not wanting to disrupt her focus.
However, concern etched across his face, he decided it was time to check on her.
Jeongguk pushed the studio door open quietly, the scattered papers and half-finished models, he found her, sleeves rolled up, while she was making the skyscraper.
"Hey, I thought you said two hours. What happened?" Jeongguk asked if she was so lost she didn't even see him. She looked up, exhaustion evident in her eyes.
"I underestimated the workload. My classmates left me alone with this." Y/n replied.
Jeongguk's expression shifted from concern to anger. How can her classmates leave her alone to work like this?
“What? Why?” He asked.
“It's not as important as for me, you know I skipped half of the semester.” She told him.
“Have you eaten lunch?” He asked.
“I don't have time. I only have today.” She replied and he shook his head.
“I will order something, and don't worry, Let's get this done together." He said.
“Really?” She asked.
“Yes, just tell me what to do.” He said and followed her instructions. He ordered lunch but she was so focused on her work that is why he fed her food himself.
But seeing the stress on him made him worry. This project would have been solved earlier if her classmates helped her.
He will make sure her classmates don't pass this semester, if they didn't think of Y/n, he doesn't want to think about them.

In the chamber of the castle, King Jungkook sat upon his majestic throne, a heavy sorrow etched across his face.
The loss of his beloved wife weighed on his heart, leaving an emptiness that could not easily be filled. Living without her was a suffering itself.
His gaze, once warm and vibrant, now held a distant sadness.
Sure the pain was there But unlike other rulers who sought solace in the arms of new companions, Jungkook's loyalty to Y/n remained unwavering.
He didn't even want to become a king, he did it for her. Just for her.
Jungkook focused on the task at hand, the upbringing of his children, but handling Nora and Noir is still the toughest for him.
Noir seems to vanish, and comes home only once in a while, but Nora, she has been testing her father's Patience's in every way.
Jungkook's stern voice echoed through the stone walls as he confronted Nora about her disobedience.
"Nora, you know the rules. It's forbidden for a princess to venture beyond the castle walls. Your safety is paramount," he said.
Nora met her father's gaze with a mixture of remorse and rebellion. "I couldn't stay cooped up in this castle forever, Appa. I need to experience the world outside these walls," she argued, her eyes reflecting the same determination that once sparkled in her mother's.
Jungkook sighed, “And who is this Jisung? Who have you been meeting?”
Nora smiled, “Someone.”
“Someone who huh?” He asked.
“I thought to make it easier for you to find someone I want to marry,” She exclaimed, making Jungkook more surprised.
“Who is he? You can't just marry anyone,” Jungkook exclaimed, he knows everything about him, but he wants to hear it from her. Nora walked near Jungkook, and held his hand.
“I am not saying I want to marry him right now, but maybe in a few years, is that fine with you?” she asked. He shook his head.
“Tell me more about him first,” He said he brought her outside to the garden where she told him about Jisung, it does seem like she loved him. Jungkook just needs to confirm if Jisung loves her too.
“Does he love you too?” He asked. She wrapped her arms around his arm, while walking.
“Not as much as you love Eomma,” Nora replied. Jungkook took a sigh, he truly loved her but love can be hurtful too.
The conversation changed from Nora talking about her love to Jungkook talking about his. They shared a beautiful bond since her birth, he doesn't say but she is really his favorite.
Jungkook went back to his chamber, and sighed, he loves talking about Y/n, but it's painful for him too, close his eyes.
He can still see her and feel her, but he is scared to forget how she looks. He is scared that he would close his eyes and not see her again.
At that time there weren't even pictures, so he only had Y/n in his memory.
He saw Taehyung and doesn't care much about him, as Taehyung always comes to fuel him.
“Where is your son?” Taehyung asked.
“Which one?” Jungkook asked.
“Noir, of course he is the only one who follows me around like he is my tail.” Taehyung exclaimed.
“I don't know, Just leave Taehyung, don't annoy me again,” Jungkook exclaimed.
“He is with Y/n,” Taehyung said. Jungkook looked at him.
“Y/n?” Jungkook asked.
“Yeah, do you want to have her again?” Taehyung asked.
“But you can't bring her back twice right?” Jungkook said.
“You are right, I can't. But I can bring you to her time. Do you want to go to her time?” Taehyung exclaimed, a little smirk on his face.
Taehyung knows he has offered something to Jungkook that he can never say no to.
