A MAID'S SCRIPT FOR A HAPPY ENDING
The writer's awakening
Voice 1 (cold and distant): “The illegitimate son stains the empire’s name.”
Voice 2 (mocking): “End his weakness before it spreads.”
Voice 3 (whispering): “Kindness is only a flaw…”
????
(thinking): That line... that exact line. I wrote it myself—
It’s from Chapter 5 of Bloodlines of Fate. My story…
????
(panicking) Why am I hearing it now?
[Thunder cracks. The world ripples like torn paper.]
????
(gasping) Wh—what’s happening?
[Everything goes white. The voices fade.]
[A faint sound of birds chirping. Someone groans nearby.]
Ruth / maid
taehyung Don’t tell me you’re sleeping again!
[Sound of cloth flicked sharply.]
Ruth / maid
(hissing): If the head maid finds out, we’ll both get lashed!
????
(blinking): Lira…? Who the hell—
[ someone??? looks down. Their hands are small, pale, and smudged with dust.]
????
(thinking): What…? My hands!? They’re tiny—soft—
[A cracked mirror catches the reflection of a sweet young boy with messy brown curls and wide eyes.]
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
That’s… me? No way. taehyung
The lowly palace maid , a beta who gets stabbed trying to shield the prince.
Femke/ maid
(snickering): Still gawking, are you? Hah! Did a noble kiss you in your sleep?
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(stunned): I’m inside my story.
No, not just inside it—I am part of it.
[Corridor – echoing footsteps.]
head maid
Everyone line up! His Highness, Prince jungkook, passes through the south garden this morning.
Eyes low! Speak only when commanded!
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): Prince jungkook… the illegitimate heir.
Sweet, gentle jungkook. The one I doomed to die helpless and betrayed by everyone he loved
.I gave him that softness. I made it fatal.
How could I have ever called that "beautiful tragedy”?
Not this time.
If fate wrote him to break… I’ll make him unbreakable.
[South Garden – sunlight sparkles across dew-covered roses.]
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(softly): The roses bloomed early this year. They must like the spring better than people do.
[The maids giggle quietly at his warmth. The Writer stares in awe.]
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): He looks exactly as I pictured him—
brown- black hair glinting under sunlight, turquoise eyes full of gentleness.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(turning): taehyung? Are the roses to your liking?
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(startled): Ah—! I—I mean, yes, Your Grace! Very much so!
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(smiling): Then I’m glad. A kind heart should appreciate beauty whenever it can.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(heart pounding): That smile…
No wonder I couldn’t kill you without crying during the final draft.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(quietly): You seem different today. Calmer.
Usually, you’re flustered whenever I speak to you.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
Of course taehyung was—a lowly maid before royalty.
But now, I’m me. The one who knows your end.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(softly): Maybe I’ve just… grown up overnight.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(chuckling): Then I look forward to meeting this new you, tae
[The other maids leave. The Writer lingers near the roses.]
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): The thorns… they’re sharper than I imagined.
In the story, this same garden becomes the stage for his first humiliation—
The day the noble sons call him "the bastard prince" while the king simply walks away.And it begins tomorrow.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(whispering): No. I won’t let it.
[A gust of wind scatters rose petals.]
[Mysterious Voice – echoing faintly]: “Change one thread of fate… and the rest will tangle.”
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(frowning): Who’s there?
Voice: You created this world. But you were never meant to live in it.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(defiant): Then watch me.
If the world wants him to suffer, I’ll suffer in his place.
[A servant’s voice shouts from afar.]
Servant: taehyung! His Grace wishes tea served at the balcony! Hurry!
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(looking back at the roses): The prince’s tragedy starts tomorrow.
But before the sun rises again, I’ll rewrite destiny itself.
[Wind rustles. The petals swirl like falling stars.]
In a world divided by Alphas, Betas, and Omegas—
where kindness is a curse and blood decides power—
one misplaced soul now holds the pen of fate.
The Fracture in Fate
[Royal Palace – Night Before the Banquet]
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): The palace feels colder tonight. Even the moonlight refuses to touch its walls.
Tomorrow’s the day—the first royal banquet.
The beginning of jungkook's downfall
[Slow footsteps echo outside the servant’s dormitory.]
Maid 1 (whispering): Did you hear? They say the emperor ordered all the princes to present their lineage seals.
Maid 2: But Prince jungkook doesn’t have one. He’s only an illegitimate child.
Maid 1: Exactly. They’ll humiliate him in front of the nobles.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): Not on my watch.
If I can’t stop the banquet, then I’ll at least change how it ends.
[A sudden voice drifts from the shadows.]
Mysterious Voice: “The more you fight the script, the tighter it binds.”
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(freezes): You again…
Show yourself!
[The air shimmers. A figure cloaked in darkness appears — its eyes like ink bleeding through light.]
Mysterious Voice: “You wrote a tragedy, mortal. Do you think you can simply erase it?”
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(clenching fists): If I can create tragedy, I can undo it!
Mysterious Voice: “The balance demands pain. For every thread you mend, another must snap.”
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(angry): Then let it snap around me. Not him.
Mysterious Voice: “…So be it.”
[The figure dissolves into smoke. A faint whisper lingers:]* “You will pay the toll in blood.”*
[Royal Banquet Hall – The Following Evening]
[Sound: Trumpets blare. Nobles chatter.]
The marble floor gleams beneath chandeliers. Silk and perfume swirl like fog.
Every Alpha and Beta noble is present—predators in jewels and fine robes.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
This is where they’ll ridicule him, expose his birth, mock his gentleness until he breaks.
But I’ll stand in their way, even if I must rewrite every heartbeat.
[Trumpets again – The crowd bows as the princes enter.]
Announcer: Presenting, His Imperial Highness, Crown Prince Kael, and His Grace, Prince Jungkook of the Western Wing!
[Murmurs spread through the crowd.]
Noble 1: The bastard dares appear?
Noble 2: His mother was just a servant. Disgraceful.
Noble Lady (scoffing): Such fragile beauty. No wonder he’s weak.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): Vultures. All of them.
[From behind the serving line, he watches Jungkook walk in—calm, composed.]
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(softly): Thank you for welcoming me today. I’m honored to be here.
Jeon kael / crown Prince
(mocking): Brother, did you forget your insignia again?
The empire’s blood must run thin in your veins.
[Laughter spreads. The hall echoes with cruel amusement.]
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(quietly): Forgive me, brother. I—
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): No. In the old script, he apologizes—and they tear him apart.
Not this time.
[Taehyung rushes forward, appearing to stumble with a tray.]
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(out loud): Forgive me, Your Grace! The insignia—
It was being polished as the prince ordered. I was returning it!
[Gasps ripple across the hall.]
Jeon kael / crown Prince
(coldly): Oh? So you’re the reason for the delay?
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): Please, Jungkook… follow the cue
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(with calm sincerity): Yes. I asked him to handle it. Thank you, Taehyung.
[The hall stills at his tone. Even now, he protects a servant.]
Noble Lord (hissing): He defends a servant? Shameless.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(gently but firm): Perhaps compassion is what our empire needs more of. Strength without mercy is not greatness—it’s fear.
[A hush falls. The nobles exchange glances; even the emperor’s gaze flickers.]
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): He’s different now. Stronger. I can feel his spirit fighting back.
The first thread of tragedy… undone.
[Later – After the Banquet]
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(walking the garden path): You were reckless today, Taehyung. Why protect me?
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(smiling softly): Because your kindness deserves protection too.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(amused): Bold words from a servant. Aren’t you afraid?
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
For you? Never.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(pauses, voice faint): My mother once told me something.
A kind heart isn’t weak until you let the world crush it.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): He remembers.
The light I once wrote to die out—still shines.
[Sudden wind – the candles flicker.]
Mysterious Voice (echoing faintly): “The script trembles. Balance screams. The debt must be paid.”
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(looking around): You again!
Mysterious Voice: “One fate altered. One heart marked for the price.”
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(defiant): I don’t care what it costs. I’ll rewrite every line until Jungkook stands unbroken
Mysterious Voice (dark chuckle): “Then prepare, writer. Your ink will run red.”
[Silence falls. Only the wind remains, carrying the scent of roses and blood.]
The banquet’s laughter faded, but its shadow lingered.
The first tragedy had been rewritten, and destiny began to twist.
For every act of mercy, a darker storm stirred in secret…
and the price would come—sooner than either of them knew.
Whispers Under the Moonlight
[Jeon Kingdom – Night After the Banquet]
The banquet’s music had long faded, leaving silence heavy enough to echo sins.
The palace of the Jeon Kingdom—magnificent, cold, and ancient—slumbered under the silver gaze of the moon. Its marble corridors whispered secrets to the night wind, and within its unfeeling walls, fate quietly began to shift.
Servant 1 (whispering): Did you hear what happened tonight? The Sixth Prince looked the nobles in the eyes.
Servant 2: The poor fool doesn’t know when to kneel. He’ll anger His Majesty.
Old Chamberlain (murmuring): The Sixth Prince was never meant to stand tall. His kindness is a flaw this court won’t forgiv
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): So, the ripples have started already.
Every whisper is a blade aimed at Jungkook’s heart.
I changed the story’s flow, but currents this strong won’t calm easily.
[Royal Garden – Under the Moonlight]
A pale mist curls between the hedges, carrying the faint scent of roses and frost. The lake reflects the heavens perfectly—until a single ripple spreads where Taehyung’s fingers touch the surface.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(thinking): This is where it begins…
Tomorrow, Jungkook will be summoned before the Emperor.
The scene I wrote as his first punishment. The opening wound.
Back then, he faced it alone—humiliated before the court.
But now, he’s not alone… not anymore.
[He stares at his reflection. A soft wind plays through his hair as if trying to whisper warnings.]
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
If the story’s going to resist me, then let it.
I’ll protect him—whatever it takes.
[Footsteps echo behind him.]
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(gentle): Taehyung. So you couldn’t sleep either.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(turning quickly): Your Grace! I—I thought you had retired to rest.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(smiling faintly): Rest doesn’t come easy tonight. The nobles’ laughter… their eyes… it still rings in my head like a bell I can’t silence
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(approaching quietly): You faced them well, Jungkook. You didn’t bow down—you met them eye to eye. That’s all that mattered.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(with quiet humor): Then that makes one of us proud, doesn’t it?
[He sits by the lake’s edge, the moon painting silver over his dark hair and gentle eyes.]
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(softly): You know… people call me soft. Foolish. They say weakness runs in my veins.
Maybe they’re right. I can’t bring myself to hate the people who mock me.
I pity them instead.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(lowering himself beside him): That’s not weakness. It’s strength they can’t comprehend.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
And what do you see, Taehyung? Am I strong in your eyes?
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(meeting his gaze): You’re the strongest person I’ve ever known. Not because you hold power… but because you don’t let cruelty turn you into them.
[A small silence—soft, warm, careful.]
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(smiling): You speak as if you’ve known me forever
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(voice faint): Maybe… I have.
[Sudden gust—candles flicker. The surface of the lake ripples unnaturally.]
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(standing): The wind’s strange tonight.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(tense): It’s not the wind.
[The air thickens, humming softly. The reflection of the moon distorts.]
Mysterious Voice: “Two fates bound, never meant to intertwine…”
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(eyes narrowing): You again.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(looking around): Who’s there?
Voice: “You think yourself a savior, mortal? You meddle with the rivers of destiny.”
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(whispering fiercely): If changing fate means saving him, then so be it!
Voice: “Every touch of your hand tears another thread. The Sixth Prince’s line was sealed in betrayal and blood—you cannot cleanse it with mercy.”
[The ground shudders, the lake gleams red for an instant like spilled ink.]
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(gripping his head): Aagh—! What—what’s happening to me?!
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(rushing to him): Jungkook! Stay with me!
Voice: “Balance will have its due. You rewrite one end, and another collapses.”
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(screaming): Stop it! Take me instead!
[The cold air softens. The voice fades into a whisper.]
Voice (faint): “Blood for blood, writer. Remember the toll.”
[Jungkook collapses into Taehyung’s arms. The moon steadies, the lake returns to silver stillness.]
[Moments Later – Servants’ Passage Behind the Pavilion]
[Taehyung kneels, Jungkook resting unconscious beside him.]
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(trembling): It’s starting… the curse of defiance.
He was never supposed to bear this pain. It’s my fault—my interference.
[He presses a hand to Jungkook’s cheek—a lifelike warmth, fragile and fleeting.]
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(softly): I’ll find a way. Even if I have to fight whatever gods rule this realm.
You will not break. Not this time.
[A faint mark glows across his own wrist—thin lines of light like ink spreading under skin.]
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(startled): A mark…?
Voice (faint echo in his mind): “The price has begun.”
[Jeon Kingdom – Emperor’s Private Chamber, Before Dawn]
Jeon joluju / emperor of Jeon kingdom👑
(voice dripping with disdain): The Sixth Prince has stirred whispers across the courts.
Showing defiance before nobles… my patience only thins.
Minister: Shall we summon him, Your Majesty?
Jeon joluju / emperor of Jeon kingdom👑
(low): At sunrise. Let him stand before me and learn what the blood of a servant truly costs.
[He stands, turning to face the window where the moon fades into crimson dawn.]
Jeon joluju / emperor of Jeon kingdom👑
(to himself): I allowed you to live, boy. Don’t make me regret that mercy.
Jungkook stirs, eyes fluttering open.
Taehyung sits beside him, exhausted, the glow on his wrist now faint.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
(weakly): Taehyung…?
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(smiling faintly): I’m here. You’re safe.
Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
I… saw something.
A shadow whispering my name. A voice saying I should’ve never existed.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
(grip tightening): Don’t listen to it. That voice doesn’t decide who you are—I do.
Kim taehyung /beta /maid of 6 prince 🐹
I mean u r the prince of Jeon kingdom , Jeon jungkook

Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜

Jeon Jungkook /alpha /6 prince💜
