JUNGKOOK:
I was riding my horse, through the fields all alone, but I couldn't get the new prisoner out of my mind, Jackson had informed me about her panic attack, I just couldn't get her out of my head I had stopped myself multiple times going to check up on her, I couldn't do it she was nothing special just another prisoner who had great courage sure, UGHHH
I need to stop this.
and here I am again in front of the jail cell the guards posted there weren't surprised anymore probably expecting me to be here, I took a deep breath and entered all the prisoners were simply talking to each other or sleeping, none bothering to see who had entered.
I kept going looking into each cell, waiting to find a frail girl, looks like Jackson had done what I told him and locked her further away, making sure she would not be in sight of any of the other prisoners, I kept walking until I finally found her just sitting in her bed looking at and fiddling with her neckless pendant which looked like a rose, she seemed to be lost in her thoughts completely until I cleared my thought she flinched and looked at me with eyes with wide eyes she even went as far as rubbing her eyes, I think she didn't believe I was standing in front of her, I didn't blame her I myself couldn't believe I was here.
she quickly got up and bowed in respect after straightening her herself she kept her head down, I thought it would be better if I broke the silence, after all, I am the one who showed out of nowhere,'' Ummm I thought I would come and check up on you... umm so '' I looked down, playing with the little stones on the floor, with my hands in my pocket.
''I'm doing better than expected, thank you for asking'', I lifted my head as soon as I heard her voice, a voice I had noticed was very delicate it reminded me of honey, '' that's good, are you sure though the cell isn't very.....pleasant'' I said look around the cell
''it reminds me of my room, quite similar'', she let out a little chuckle like it was amusing while I made a face her room like this, she noticed my face and her cheeks turned red, I quickly wiped that look out of my face ''Ummm what was your house like'' I curiously asked and genuinely wanted to know
she fell on her bed with a thud and started describing her home and her neighbors and just how beautiful her little village was all with a smile on her face which made a smile appear on my face when she was done I went on and started describing my castle and life in it and m hyungs and noonas, '' I can tell you love them'', I looked at her with a smile '' I do, I think you would be love them too'', we both didn't even realize how long we had been talking nither had we realized that she was sitting on the ground her back resting against the wall behind her with her knees against her chest while I was sitting on the ground with my legs crossed, the bars separating us
I guess we had sat on the ground in the middle of our conversation not remembering when exactly.
we both sat in comfortable silence until I noticed her neckless again I let my curiosity get the best of me and asked ''I saw you fiddling with your neckless earlier is it something special'' she looked down at it with a smile and held it up to show me, ''yeah it is very special my father gave it to me''
that statement made another hundred questions arose in my mind but I knew better than to pry it was a sensitive subject I could tell '' its already night time, you arrived here in the evening, time flies when you are taking huh'', ''when I am at the boring meetings time seems to be still'', we both let out a chuckle at that, '' I suppose interest is also very important'' she said look out of the little square opening in the cell which had a perfect view of the moon '' I have always loved the night sky especially the moon and the stars it gives so much peace, there beautiful are they not''.
she said all the while looking at the moon, she was looking at the moon and I was starring at her the light of the moon seemed to be reflecting on her skin giving her eyes an extra sparkle in them ''very beautiful, it's hard to believe'', '' I agree'' I quickly put my eyes on the moon as soon as she turned to me '' most people are scared of the darkness, although it gives me a sense of peace''
'' That would make the two of us'', I stared at her again but this time when she looked at me again I didn't divert my eyes and kept the eye contact, she looked into my eyes with a smile and said '' I guess the only difference between us is our status''
''yeah, I guess it is'' as soon as I said that she let out a small yawn which meant it was time for my departure, I got up which she followed I was to speak when suddenly her eyes went wide and she dropped into a bow I looked at her with wide eyes my self ''I'm so sorry, my highness I forgot my place and kept you for so long talking about nonsense''
''it wasn't nonsense, I quite enjoyed my self learning about your village I will look at it with completely different eyes now, no need to be apologetic I am the one who started the conversations, I hope we can do this again'', she listened to me with wide eyes when I was done she let out a huge smile and bowed again, '' I hope so too, have a good night, your highness''
''goodnight, lalisa'', ''goodnight, your highness''
I left the place with a huge grin on my face, which made the guards surprised and they started gossiping about what could have happened.
over the next few days, this pattern would continue the prince and the prisoner would talk about everything and nothing from noon till night, both choosing to ignore the heartbeat that would fasten every time their eyes would meet.
