Lisa :
As I enter the dining room, I immediately see Jung kook talking to his mother but within seconds he turns to look at me before eyeing my dress and my face ; causing my cheeks to slightly flush pink . Without further ado I continue to make my way towards them and joining the small group .
"I'm sorry but the king won't be joining us today "says one of the guard breaking the silence
Jung kook glanced at his mother for a few seconds before pointing out at one of the seats near me as a gesture to sit down , he pulls the chair to the back letting me sit in my own comfortable to my surprise he leans in near my ear
" you look stunning " he whispered
He starts to make his way towards his own seat while I tried to keep my calm high . Well I just got a compliment from the prince of Korea . Any girl would be flustered after listening to that compliment .
After a while the queen finally takes a seat next to Jung kook and she turns to look at me immediately " Lisa you look absolutely beautiful and I am glad that the dress fits you very well . Red is definitely your colour , dear " she says and I nod with a smile on my face as a thank you
Within seconds the guests started coming in . The amount of people in the dining room were around 10 - I heard the queen only invited her closest friends so that mom and I don't feel pushed by her welcome
Almost all of the guests had their eyes glued to me but I pretend not to notice because I'll end up embarrassing myself without noticing.
I look up at Jung Kook focused on the food in front of him, without glancing else where . My mind seemed to have forgotten that it's very impolite to stare as I continue to look at him and the way he frowns just by looking at his food which makes me chuckle lightly. Honestly, he looks unknowingly adorable in his own ways .
All of a sudden he starts to look up at me , causing my eyes to widen immediately . Our eyes meet and they start to look deeply into one another as if we can go through each other's soul. I break the eye contact, trying to cover up the embarrassment I've earned.
During the whole dinner , I was trying my best to not spare a single glance towards Jung Kook because I knew that we might end up in another awkward situation which I highly wanted to avoid . Even though I felt him looking at me a few times but I managed to stay still and pushed away the temptation to look at him too
Right now, I am just walking down the hallway as I excused myself earlier. I couldn't get my thoughts straight with being near all those people - they looked at me and then started to talk but I hardly paid any attention. It's probably because the already knew that I would be marrying prince Jeon Jung Kook
I immediately stop as I see Jung kook walking in a hurry towards the king's chamber . I furrow my eyebrows at the sight of him - catching a glimpse of his eyebrows frowning in worry but I stay still taking a few steps further away , scared if I might felt caught for invading someone's privacy .
I was just about to leave when I heard familiar voices , I turn toward the kings chamber , seeing Jung kook and the queen step out but what surprises me the most is the look on Jung Kook's face . It shows his he is worried and troubled which confuses me slightly. As for the queen she starts to sigh deeply holding her dons arm
"Jung Kook there is no other choice , you know that too " she says
"There has got be a choice mother . The agreement cannot determine my life as I do have a choice to my own life and you know that better than anyone else including father. He's too caught up with the promise he made with his father years ago and I don't blame him at all but I'm not letting the agreement ruin my future "he replies looking straight at his mother
Soo Young sighs once more
"Choices are limited for us my son royalties have to sacrifice and sometimes the sacrifices made are worth it, trust me " she says trying to persuade Jung Kook into something
"What sacrifice do you think that'll be worth it by marrying someone I don't know? Marriage is something that everyone has a choice, royalty or not . Divorce is very out of topic for someone like us, I know that so I don't want to choose something that I might regret one day . I don't want to hurt anyone including myself " he mutters
The queen shakes her head in disagreement "I don't see it. I don't see anything wrong with Lisa . She is beautiful, smart , stunning and anything a man could ask for . What is that you don't want to marry her ? Is he not god good enough for you or is it the opposite? " she moves around staring .
The both end up in silence and it bothers me somehow, am I caught for eavesdropping but seconds before I can make my way down the hall , I start to hear them talk once more and I wish I had left because for some reason , it's something I don't want to know
"There is nothing wrong with Lisa . She is a wonderful person and I am very sure that she has a pure heart but it's not something I can force upon myself. I can't love her mother . When I look at her I just don't see myself loving her in a way that a husband should love his wife - in fat I don't see myself loving her in any way possible " he speaks causing me to sigh just my knowing the truth .
"Feelings will come , son "
"Like I said , I don't want to force this upon myself and I don't want to marry . Won't it be easier to cancel the agreement itself ?"
I immediately make my way down the hall not wanting to listen anymore. I wasn't hurt by what he said because he just stated the truth .
If I go through this marriage even with sadness and despair , I know that I will be kissing goodbye to my happiness that I still manage to feel now . For some reason I could connect to his words .
Once I reached my room I keep on placing everything inside my suitcase. I pulled out a black shirt With something written on it with a black jeans and wore my own casual dress placing the red dress on the bed not even sparing it a glance .
"Lisa " my mother called out but I ignored her
"We are leaving " I say while tying my hair into a pony tail
"Leave ? What happened? Are you all right ? " she asks but before I could answer we both turn around to see Jung kook standing near the door , as he looks at me while clenching his jaw
"I am sorry mrs.Kim but can I please talk to your daughter? " he asks without breaking eye contact with me . My mum starts to walk out of the room , closing the door after wards .
I am left alone with Jung kook
"What do you want ? " I questioned before crossing my arms and looking straight at him without the fear of getting lost because I know his true feelings so it doesn't bother me any more .
" I want to clear up any misunderstandings because that is literally the last thing I want bright now . I know you heard the conversation between me and my mother , which is causing you to react this way . I am sorry " he replies, his brown eyes deep into mine
"I am leaving bi have a choice and my choice Is not to marry you . Whatever you said bought back the realty to me and I thank you for that . We are 2 different people Jung Kook and I don't care if you don't marry me be a I am saying the same thing to you. It doesn't bother me
After a few seconds " So , I am leaving tonight . You don't have to apologise to me because it isn't your fault. I am taking the first flight back to Gangnam and we will be back to our own lives . Eventually we will meet someone new and come to appreciate that we did not get married to each other because we knew that it wasn't right " I added
As I turn to continue packing he grabs my wrist , making me turn back at him with my eyes furrowed in confusion.
"Leave tomorrow, I will book a flight for you , that's the least I can do after causing you so much trouble " he said in a low voice , loud enough or me to hear
Then he let's go of my wrist and leaves the room after bowing to me in a respectful manner
I will keep thinking about this day in the future because what matters is that I don't want to ruin someone else's life due to this
It makes me wonder some how , does he not feel the sparks ??
Jung kook being adorable in his own way !!
I am sorry for making this chapter too long .....anyway what do you guys think about it
