Chapter 32: Chapter 32

CHAPTER THIRTY

When Ha Na was dragged away from the crowd, and she was beyond terrified. She was scared and frightened as she doesn't know what to do in this situation. Did she just made Taehyung mad?

Ha Na jerked her hands away from Taehyung. But he didn't even budge and she didn't have a choice but to struggle and yank her arms away. Hence, it was too useless.

She's not a vampire. She's a human who is weak and vulnerable. She couldn't fight off a vampire—a King at that.

"Your Majesty!” Ha Na yelped as tears fell down her brown orbs eyes as the man continued to drag her all the way to the garden. She winced in pain, gripping the skirt of her gown with Taehyung's hands tightly wrapped around her skinny wrist.

In a second, she stumbled on to the garden's table and immediately supported herself by gripping it. She looked at Taehyung who was furious making her petrified as she clung onto the edge of the table while the man's hands are on her forearms now.

If he was mad a while ago, how much more now?

"Let go of me!" She cried out but he just tightened his hands around her arms making her flinched.

Unknowingly, his hands found its way to the skirt of Ha Na's gown and ripped it off like a beast would do when seeing a prey. He's a beast after all.

"Stop it!" The fragile girl yelled at Taehyung and tears rolled down her delicate cheeks fastly but the man continued to rip her gown until it was fully up above the knees.

Taehyung stopped and stared at his soulmate, Ha Na, with tears streaming down her face. His gazes are still cold and dark.

Pulling out something from his pocket— using his right hand, his other hand aggressively grabbed Ha Na's chin making her winced in pain. His strength was way too strong for the fragile girl. He could even break any part of her bones already.

Ha Na's eyes closed and she was trembling in fear. She opened her eyes, watched as Taehyung opened the box using just his right hand, pulling out a shiny ring and raised it up.

No this can't be happening.

"Look at it, Ha Na." The beautiful cold blooded man hissed but his voice was nonchalant a little bit. Taehyung tried to be unperturbed but the frightened lady stayed still and closed her eyes again.

Her behaviour made the ruler furious as he hissed, shaking her frail body making her yelped in pain and eyes shot wide open.

"Look at it closely!" He growled, eyes stared intensely, and the woman looked at the ring with red and black diamond on the center. Silver ring with small diamonds were surrounding the ruby and black diamonds.

It was a diamond ring.

"This ring means—," He paused, gulping down his saliva, grabbing Ha Na's left hand before growling in between the words. "You belong only to me."

Those words. It was as if he was making it clear to the girl that she belongs to him when she certainly don't belong to someone. Especially to him.

Taehyung was trying to claim her, that Ha Na only belongs to Kim Taehyung by pushing the ring on her fourth finger as she cried out in pain. It's not because of the size of the ring— although it perfectly fitted well, it was because of him gripping her hands that made her cry in pain.

It was too much for her.

As soon as Taehyung was done pushing the ring, his hands snicked around the petite waist of the lady and abruptly unzipped her gown from behind, harshly tugging down the zipper making her eyes widened and tried to pull away from him but no, she can't.

"If anyone ever try to touch you or covet you," He scowled as he finally finished unzipping her gown until the waist line. "I won't hesitate to kill them the next time."

And that, Taehyung was about to take the rest of her gown off of her until he stopped and stared at his woman who was shaking vulnerably already and tears dripping down her face that Taehyung cherishes so much.

I looked ugly already. I don't care. But I'm scared. She mentally cried out

After a brief moment, Ha Na heard Taehyung sighed and embraced her into a soft, warming hug. His nose sniffed the odd scent surrounding her— eyes widened, thinking finally. He already smelled the scent that made him giggly and excited. He was happy as tears streamed down his face but his pride, and ego won't let him. He decided to pull out a blank and emotionless expression.

Ha Na didn't notice that he has already zipped back the gown on her as her heart fell on the floor and stomach dropped. She is now a mess as she cried her heart out.

Elisse? Where are you? I need you. I need to know you're still by my side. I'm barely holding on.

Right there and then, Taehyung left the weak and fragile girl alone in the garden who was exhausted and scared. She was trembling out of fear to the point where she'd passed out in any minute. But then she weren't alone in the garden.

Someone out there was watching the whole scene with terrifying and pained expression. He wanted to help her but he can't, because in his mind, he couldn't fight off Kim Taehyung, the ruler. In his mind, he thought he was weak enough to go against his own best friend.

He speeds off towards the girl who was trembling helplessly and was gripping onto the garden's table for life, to support herself from falling onto the ground.

Such then, he was quick enough to catch the lady who passed out. His arms snaked around Ha Na's waist with the other supporting her shoulders. He basically have his arms wrapped around the lady's skinny body.

The lady was now in his arms, closing her eyes in a peaceful manner. In his mind, he knew that she was tired already. Tired of everything. He wanted to help but he can't.

"I'm really sorry..." His voice trailed off as it echoed through Ha Na's ears before she completely passed out into unconsciousness.

"I'm sorry that I can't fight my love for you. I'm so sorry for being such a coward." And that, he carried his love to another man's—the King's house with sourness and bitterness in his heart.

He laid his beloved on the sheets as he pulled over the blanket up to her chest and take a closer look for the last time. He blinked his eyes as he watched the latter's lips pouted and brows knitted making him giggle a little bit.

Reality then slapped him back as he frowned, overthinking about such situation.

"Namjoon hyung found his soulmate already after a thousand of years and was beyond happy about it." A sigh left Jimin's lips. "I found you already but destiny itself is blocking our path."

Jimin's tears streamed down his delicate and soft pale skin. "I wanted to kill you to save you this time. But I couldn't because I'm your soulmate. I wanted to save you from this mess and at least run away with you from this path."

"I finally found you again after all these years yet destiny is playing with us again." Jimin's cracked a sad smile, tucking a hair behind his soulmate's ears.

This time, he burst out as his heart throbbed in pain to see the lady's face that he missed so much. That he last seen hundred years ago, and lost to his own bestfriend. It was also a pain for him that he had to do something that would make him regret again. He was beyond afraid.

"I thought destiny would change. However this time, it was still the same. I'm honestly afraid."

Jimin wiped his tears away and chuckled in victory because he knew. He knew a lot. "You're still going to be mine, right?"

But he didn't knew that the lady was now already conscious with her eyes still closed. But luckily, it was only enough for her to hear his confession of love rather than confession of him desiring to kill her.

The only words she heard was, "I love you so much Ha Na."

With those words, Ha Na's heart fluttered and butterflies were now a messed in her stomach. It was all over her stomach with electrifying sparks sending down to his spines and all over her body.

The only man who managed to shake her heart in just a span of less than a month was Park Jimin.
