Her tender hands rose to touch the shimmering dress.
"Is there any special event, mother?", She asked her mother, being concerned of all the decorations she saw in and around their home. Their old shelves were touched and made spotless by the maids, the China plates which y/n's mother ordered has reached its destination this evening. The attire of both her parents were changed and more after The costumes of maids were also changed. "Yes, daughter", her mother said having a very proud smile on her. Y/n the youngest daughter of the Kim family was an offering to the Man of the realms. Having fullfilling their promise,time has come for their younger daughter to get married. The household was celebrating, however the lady of the house was pretty concerned of their daughter. After all she was only 18. She was about to marry a man twice her age. Thoughts reverberated in her.
"What celebration, mother?", Being the curious daughter that she was, asked her mother hoping for an answer.
"You are leaving this home", the mother carassed her daughter's pink cheeks.
"No! Why will i leave you mother?", Her eye brows moved upwards while she asked it.
"You are getting married, Y/n", her eyes blinked for a multiple times after listening to her mother. She has read tales and novels about marriage, love, family but implementing the words in life was a new experience.
"Welcome, my lords", y/n watched from the shades of her light coloured curtain, her entire Household bowing to the people who came out of the huge golden caravan. The people sat on the new sofa covers her mother has put on this morning.
"Is that our daughter in law?", A tall lady in white, pointed towards the side of the curtains behind to which Y/n stood. She gulped her lumps down and clicked her heels on the ground.
"My heavens, she is like the spring flower which has blossomed this season, so pretty ", told the lady. Y/n discovered that this was her mother in law. She was called the "queen".
"Jin, You must talk to her", the queen pushed the two into y/n's chambers. Y/N was however was always interested in showing her chambers which was decorated with all her favourite pictures and quotes. Her hands guided him to her room. The tall, broad shouldered, self centred man, had the walk of the gods visiting earth. He sat on the silky, bedcovers which were on the bed. He pushed out a deep sigh. Soon he had an expression of regrets and looked upon Y/n who stood there viewing her man with whom she was about to marry. His eyes went tender at the sight of a small girl.
"What's your name?", Y/n asked, as if she was talking to someone of her age. He was stunned with her tone ,it was only his mother and father who used to talk casually as such , no one else did. He grinned and said his name. She nodded as if she will remember his name from now on.
"Young lady, what do you do?", Jin asked wanting to have a real conversation.
"I sleep and eat and also go out with my friends", she said.
"I see, but my lady, what do you do for a living?", He put the first question again but rephrased it.
"Living? I eat.", She said smiling widely. Jin was at the point to laugh louder but he supressed it and passed the question with a nod.
"I pronounce you as Husband and Wife", the priest declared to which the entire crowd roared. At the edge of her eyes she could see her mother crying and wiping her tears with a white hand kerchief.
"If she didn't wanted me getting married why did she arrange my marriage in the first place", she threw her bouquet on the huge bed of their master bedroom. Jin who was struggling with his tie , flinched when he heard the shriek.
"Sorry?", He asked.
"My mother, she didn't wanted me to get married but i have no idea what has made her change her mind", her anger was visible when she spoke. Jin's eyes made a tender curve while he listened to her.
"You don't like the room?", He asked looking down upon her body which was laying lazily upon the bed beside her thrown bouquet.
"This is definitely a great room, sir but my room had all those pictures and-", she grumpily turned her body over. Jin had that fatherly smile on his face who had to convince his stubborn daughter.
"Listen , Y/n, we can decorate this room exactly the way you want perhaps we can even make it better if you say", he said. He kneeled down on the ground to touched her body. She excitedly woke up and sat to view him.
"Really? You are going to help me decorate my room?", She asked to which she earned a nod from him. Her face gleamed with joy.
"You just get off from your wedding dress, princess", he said looking at her uncomfortable figure Inside the huge dress which is extremely longer than her entire body. The maids were arranged to look after the new lady of the house. Jin awkwardly sat on the rose petals sprinkled bed. It was awkward for him, definitely to share a bed with a small kid who is like a daughter to him. He welcomed Y/n with a mellow smile. Uncomfortableness was visible in her eyes. He was concerned.
"Can I know what's bothering you, Princess?", he asked. Her hands were on her torso, as if she was trying to cover herself from him. He viewed on her in nightgown. She wore a pink lacy gown, which for the point has complimented her tender, child like skin. Parts of her breasts were visible to his eyes and moreover The cloth ended till her upper thighs. He smiled acknowledging her discomfort in the garment and assured safety to her. The prince himself picked a nightgown for the princess to wear. Though y/n didn't notice it, it was a matter that has to be appreciated, since this prince never cared for others but himself. Now the question arose was how to unwrap the garment that she was wearing. Jin grinned at the clueless y/n.
"Come here", he asked her to which she obeyed. She allowed her back to see his face. His hands pulled the draps of her clothes and it magically fell till her waist. He eyes seeked for the trouble the cloth faced which didn't allowed it to fall on the ground. He saw y/n's hands clutching on it.
"Y/n?", He asked wanting to know the fear that has aroused in her.
"Mother has said not to show my body to anyone. Specially my torso and below", her eyes didn't meet him which is why he has no idea how she is looking like right now while she is talking something as such.
"I am an exception", he said while waiting for her to loosen her grip over the dress.
"I don't believe", she said. He could somehow imagine those grumpy chubby cheeks which she makes while she is mad.
"Fine then. You have to only let it drop and change it into this gown, you can probably do it by your own", he handed over her the dress which he picked earlier. She ran to the stone toilet which was attached to the room. He patiently waited for her and then she came to him.
"I was said this is my room", she said taking a seat beside him.
"Yes it is, princess", he said.
"Then.. you should sleep now", she said Waiting for his further actions. Her eyes froze when he pulled the blanket of her bed and drowned himself in it.
"Why are you sleeping in my room?", She questioned him being impatient.
"Princess, this is also my room. We will share this from today on", the words which he told were indigestable.
"Mother has told never to sleep with a man besides father", she hoped for him to leave her room.
"I told you earlier, my Princess, I am an exception. If you doubt me, you can ask your mother, yourself", he said, that was definitely not a lie since his expressions looked genuine. She wasn't ready to share her bed with anyone if not her family. She darted her eyes towards the man who is on her bed. She puffed her face as if she has forgotten to swallow the water she has taken. She slowly layed her body and pulled the ends of blanket to herself. She rounded herself inside it as if she was cocoon. Jin expressed his saddeness of being lost to a blanket stealer.
The next morning y/n rose with a huge bundle of blankets over her body. Maids elder to her, stood facing her.
"Good morning, Princess", the fair one spoke. Y/n rubbed her eyes, yawning hardly. She had a very good sleep. Her maids sat on the bedroom and helped her do her morning routine.
"Why are you doing my hair before a bathe?", She asked. The maids giggled whispering into each other's ears. She was wrapped in a beautiful silky smooth red robe. She pushed open the huge bath house. She loved bath houses. Her legs excitedly ran till the end. As she reached in, she saw the back of him. The broad shoulders. The anklets she wore informed him her arrival. He turned to face her. Her eyes looked disappointed.
"Come in, princess", he asked with his markable smile.
"Me? With you?", She asked being angry. He smiled and nodded lightly.
"It's one of the rites ,royal families must follow after the wedding night.", He patiently explained her. Her legs slowly entered the tub full of warm water. The same flower which were sprinkled on the bed last night was inside the water, floating.
"Are you not going to remove your garments?", He asked her. Her hesitation was proved. He smiled widely and slowly moved towards her floating body.
"It's okay ", he smiled and pierced his sight into her's.
"Can you swim?", He asked. Her head moved from left to right. "Let's take lessons from now", he said not wasting a minute. Her smile appeared on her face. He touched her legs and waist and helped her float on the surface of the water body. He told her poses and pace she must learn.
"Good morning, dear", the queen carefully placed the tea cup on the plate.
"Good morning, Queen", she greeted back.
"Have you had the rites done?", The queen asked Y/n.
"yes, queen, it was fun", her excited hands clapped together. The queen was startled, the maids behind gossiped and giggled, The king chocked, Jin sat there calmly. The queen cleared her throat and nodded.
"That's great to know", she said pulling all her courage.
"Yes, queen. Jin has taught me to swim", she stretched her hands forward while she spoke.
"Swim?", The queen quizzically asked. Her eyes trailed on Jin, who didn't looked embarassed neither angry. His mother now came to know nothing happened as she anticipated.
"Princess, You shall call The lord, Prince", the maid taught Y/n.
"That's not required. Let princess Call me by my name", jin said which panicked all of them. "Did the prince change within a day?", Thought all.
"Then jin shall call me , Y/n", She said while tearing a loaf of bread. Jin smiled.
Jin had to visit the new palace which was placed for the new princess. On his return, his mind asked for her welcome but she was nowhere to be seen. He dropped his long leather jacket near to his bedroom and moved away looking for his wife in his huge house.
"Jin, you are back", his mother approached. He nodded as yes.
"There is a surprise for you", Her smile was genuine. He wondered what that was. His eyes gave attention to the small figure which stomped near to them.
"Y/n", he called her. His eyes were puzzled with the bowl she brought in her hand.
"What's that", he asked. She handed over the bowl. Smell of sweetness floated near the bowl. He pierced through a white milky cake and threw it inside his mouth. The soft cake melted when it came in touch with his tongue.
"Marvelous, I have never eaten a sweet cake as such", he spoke like a big happy kid. Y/n's cheeks flashed pink.
"Our Princess have accommodated the kitchen since Prince have left. Princess carefully have prepared the dish alone. From its ingredients selection till it's plating", the queen pulled Y/n and wrapped her hands around Y/n. Jin widened his eyes unable to accept it.
"Queen, you have allowed Y/n to stay in the kitchen all by herself?", He asked. The queen was offended.
"That's not it! I have declined it, since princess wanted to do I didn't want to make things worse", she explained. Jin held Y/n's hands and stomped inside his bedroom.
"Y/n, Please don't do such acts again. You could have been in trouble", he spoke after resting his hands on either sides of her shoulders.
"Jin have concluded it in a very bad way", she sulked while she spoke.
"Y/n, I don't buy any excuses. You can't enter the kitchen since this moment", He warned. Her angry figure ran down off and out the bedroom. Jin didn't intentionally meant to argue. His heart was aching since the last two days.
In the evening when he went to visit the princess palace he encountered his old gang.
"But Hyung, are you really happy?", Asked his favourite younger brother, jungkook.
"Yes, why do you ask Jungkook", he reposed a question.
"Uhm- hyungnim, Are you over..", Jimin's sentence didn't end before jin spoke.
"Please stop worrying. I know y/n is young and is unfit for now as a princess but i truely am looking forward for her growth.", Jin said and broke an assuring smile.
It was true, he was about to confess to his first love but marriage happened. It wasn't even the marriage that ached his heart, it was the torture from his father that he recieved to be the successor of the throne.
He pushed a heavy sigh and sat on the wing chair which was placed infront of a picture window. He wondered where Y/n was. He didn't put many thoughts as she was in his own home and nothing danger was in the way. Cold Breeze tickled near his ears and he Slowly drifted on the chair. The heavy winds after two hours slapped and woke him up. He checked the clock hung on the wall.
"Past 2?", He scratched the back of his head. He slowly looked upon the bed. His heart skipped a beat when he didn't find the person on it. His legs instantly ran down the stairs, to the hallroom. The lights were dimmed at this hour. His heart beat multiplied since the house seemed to have not known the missing of their princess.
He banged the door of his parents. The queen Slowly not making much sound opened the door. She confused him since she didn't talk rather motioned her hands into expression. However he spoke. She hit his hand lightly to make him stop speaking. She whispered,"Y/n is sleeping inside". His eyes go wide. The queen and king of the realms was allowing a commoner on their bed? He can't even remember when was the last time he slept with them. He darted his eyes towards the figure which was wrapped inside the blanket like the same cocoon of yesterday. Her hands wrapped across the king's neck and hugged him to her chest. An unusual smile appeared on his lips. His mother rested her hand on his shoulders and whispered again
"You should also go get some sleep", she said. He wanted Y/n though he didn't speak of it.
The next morning Jin didn't find Y/n anywhere in the Palace. His mother hinted him about her location. He wrapped a woolen scarf around his neck and went to the garden. There she was laying on the picnic mat and looking up the sky. A beautiful huge butterfly kissed on her cheek. Her right eyes shut enjoying the tickling legs of the fly. Soon it reached the upper surface and left. She reopened her eyes to see a tall figure. Her brows dipped down and she moved her head away.
"y/n, are you not going to forgive me?", He asked after sitting on the picnic mat beside her. She didn't answer to which he pulled her up.
"Y/n yesterday i have said that for your own good. I don't want you in pain, will you want me to go through pain?", He asked her. Those brows narrowed and a scared expression passed through her face."no!", She said. "that's what even i hope from you", he said while touching her hair.
"Fine, maybe I must invest more efforts for make you forgive me, since that's what the bet is, can I show you the garden?", His eyes shone when he knew she was desperate for that. They got to their feet. His smile was evident when her fingers wrapped around his index finger alone. They walked meters holding hands.
"The lords, sorry for interruption. I am here to inform that your highness' friends have visited the Palace", the maid who approached them said. Jin's face showed happiness. He clutched y/n's hand and walked till the palace.
"Hyung", the boys rose from the seats, jin hugged them to his chest.
"It's great to have you guys here", he said being casual to them. "perhaps me and the maknaes have encountered yesterday ", he informed the other older members. "What's that?", He asked the gift wrapped boxes in most of their hands. "A gift for y/n", namjoon said.
A maid walked in through pushing the trolley with 7 tea cups and a kettle. She placed that on the table and poured warm milk tea on each one of them. The aroma of fresh tea leaves meeting the warm milk flooded inside the room.
"Have you conquered all the rites", jimin being the playful guy, asked jin. Jin hit his hand lightly. "We have performed only one so far", jin said after he tilted his tea cup and poured the warm milk tea inside his mouth. "Only one?", Suga asked when Jin nodded. "but the royal bathe is mandatory", jhope said from the edge of the tea table. "that's what we performed", Jin said. The others looked unbelievably. "The main rite you haven't performed?", The boys asked to receive an answer as soon as possible. "no", he said to which they cried. "What? But-", "stop it, For me It's difficult to share it with the princess", he explained. The royal rites which are performed after a wedding is to produce siblings. The first rite is to share a bed with the highness. This night the couple must mate and pray for a reproduction. The second rite is to share a warm warm bathe. Here all the couple will bathe together in the royal bathe house and **** ****, if needed. Similar there were many rites which had to be performed.
"What?", Y/n asked after stepping Inside the room. "Princess", others saw her and stood to make a bow to the princess. "Hello, I am here to not interrupt but to deliver you some fruit", she said placing a plate with cut strawberries. "thank you princess", they said. "who cut them?", Jin posed a question. "It was Merlin", she said sulking. "good then", he continued sipping his tea. "These are for your, princess", they handed over those gifts which they brought for her. Y/n happily held them to her chest. "thank you", She bowed down like a commoner. Others watched and pulled their eyes backwards. "They are chocolates, Princess", said namjoon when he read her eyes which were trying to guess what gifts those were. She smiled widely. "i love chocolates", she said. "you must eat them before they melt", Suga reminded. "i will", she said and smiled. Her smile let them discover a deep dimple on either sides of her cheeks. "For me?", Jin teased Y/n. Since he knew that she is still all angry upon him he wanted to make a conversation.
"Nothing for jin!", She sticked her tongue out like a spoilt kid. The lads in the room jolted. They have never seen their elder brother being so casual with anyone else apart from their own selves. "i can steal", jin said while lightly smiling. "what? I will hide them well so you can't even find them", she said to him. "Hyung! Don't touch princess' chocolates", taehyung said. His charm matches with Y/n. Infact they are birds of same feathers. "Hm since you have alliances how can I even win over you", jin said accepting his defeat. Y/n had that winning smile on her face. Others laughed too. "Please make yourselves at home. I may take my leave", she said bowing again. "where are you going?", Jin asked out of curiosity. "To the queen. Her highness said to take me out", Y/n expressed her delightful mood. "what?!", Jin was disappointed. Y/n left the room later. "Seem like you really adore the Princess", jungkook said. "Hyung , you even allowed the Princess to adress you by your name", Jhope told what he noticed.
"Now i understand why you said you can't share your feelings with the princess", namjoon said to jin. The two best friends were left alone to their study. "I truely am thankful to your namjoon, that you are with me, even at the crucial moments like such", Jin said while placing his hand on Namjoon 's right shoulder. "crucial moment as such? Hyung, you might think you are pitiful. But you are not", namjoon put himself down on the study desk. "i don't understand you namjoon?", Jin said coming closer. "Can I ask you something, Hyung?", Namjoon asked his hyung. Jin nodded. "You loved Princess Diana, don't you?", The question was posed by namjoon. Jin looked away from namjoon and hummed. "For which you were sad about the wedding", namjoon said which was also accepted by jin. "Hyung, then you met the Princess Y/n", namjoon continued. "But since then the thoughts you had about your wedding differed", namjoon said to which jin stayed silent. He was clueless of his attitude during that time. "Did you regret marrying the princess?", Namjoon asked. Jin thought for the question. He infact enjoyed being with Y/n but he believed he might have a change but for now he didn't hate his wedding neither he loves it. "I don't regret it, Namjoon", he said. Namjoon further asked him, "Do you perhaps thought of Princess Diana after her highness has come?". Jin turned his head from left to right. "there you got your answer, Hyung", namjoon said proudly.
