Chapter 12 - I Will Love You Forever

[Jimin's P.O.V.]

When the orc pointed the gun at me, my whole

body froze. Suddenly my body became numb. I couldn't do anything. I was scared.

My fingers were trembling.

The orc laughed at my weak condition.

I knew I was going to die. He was gonna shoot

me. I closed my eyes. If this is how I die, then I'll have no regrets. I can do

anything for my Kingdom.

The only thing I regret is the last thing I did

with my beloved wife was fight. I yelled at her, hurt her. I badly want to say

sorry and I love you to her right now. I wish I could see her face one last

time.

A loud gunshot was heard.

But I didn't feel any pain.

I opened my eyes slowly, only to look at an

unexpected view. Someone was standing in front of me with his back, the bullet

hit him instead of me. He lost balance and fell to the ground.

The orc leader seemed clueless at the sudden

action. I took the opportunity to pull out my sword and pierced it through his

neck. Black blood flowed down his neck and he immediately died.

I looked back at my savior. Who was he? H-he sacrificed

his life to save his king. I sat on my knees. Blood was spilling out from his

mouth. He was wearing a hoodie so I wasn't able to see his face.

I was feeling too guilty. Why did he had to save

me? My heart was longing for his forgiveness. I wanted to say sorry to him

before he leaves the earth.

I removed the hoodie.........

The face........why...........

It was unbelievable. Something not right was in

front of me. Was I crazy? Was I so stupid? Or was I actually right?

I couldn't believe what was happening. I didn't

want to believe that.

Why was Myeong Jo laying in front of me, blood smeared everywhere on her

body, red blood spilling out from her mouth and she trying her best to breath?

Was I too obsessed with her that I was seeing

her face inside my savior's face? Did I love her too much? That I couldn't even

properly see him?

"J-J...i...mi.....n"

The way she stuttered my name was the exact way

Myeong Jo calls me. The voice was hers. Her eyes were blinking rapidly, her

mouth trying to inhale air as much as she could.

My lips and my whole body began shaking like a

vibrator. It couldn't be. It wasn't possible! Myeong Jo is back at the castle,

waiting for me in our room, praying for my victory and safety. How could this

person be her?!

I could no longer hold the heartbreak as my

gried poured out in a flood of uncontrollable tears. My eyes were still not

believing yet my heart said yes. I took her inside my arms. It was her. It was

really her! It was my Myeong Jo!

"Myeong Jo-ah!!!" I screamed out her

name in pain.

S-she.....my wife..... took a bullet in her

little chest......just for me..... To save me! My darling, my

sweetheart............was dying in front of me!

"W-hy......how......" I wasn't able to

put the pieces into the puzzle. All on a sudden, I find my wife taking a bullet

for me and now dying in front of my eyes...............

I didn't know anything else. I just cried and

held her close to my chest.

[Jimin's P.O.V. ends]

Jungkook was more than shocked. He ran towards

them and sat on his knees. He scanned every part of her bloody red body with

wide eyes.

"H-hyung.....Noona......ot...tokke? How?

What happened?"

Jimin barely listened to what he said.

"Hyung! We gotta take her to the hospital!

Get up!" Jungkook held Jimin up. Jimin took Myeong Jo who was on her way

to shut her eyes forever in his arms and carried her to Jungkook's horse.

"Get the hospital inform about The Queen's

arrival! Fast!" Jimin ordered the Minister and rode his horse with Myeong

Jo to the hospital. Jungkook followed them too.

-------------------

Jimin and Jungkook were waiting inside a V.I.P room right beside the

operation theatre. It's been 2 hours and she's still going under surgery. Jimin

kept praying to God by joining his fists together. He tried to stay strong when

actually he was broken down. Jungkook was walking here and there out of

worries. Both brothers didn't even wash the blood of their bodies, they kept

waiting for her and praying.

After a while, the surgeon entered. Jimin stood

up immediately looking at him. The surgeon's face was undescribable. He was

scared and also upset.

He bowed at Jimin. Jimin's eyes were so red with

salty tears that his vision was blury. He waited to hear the doctor's response

but the surgeon seemed to not telling anything except for facing the floor.

"Well?" Jungkook who couldn't stop his

patience blurted out.

The surgeon gulped down his throat and finally

began speaking, "Y-Your Majesty, Your Highness has lost too much

blood."

Jungkook was the only one who understood that

the surgeon was actually trying to say that Myeong Jo couldn't make it. He

gasped in shock. But Jimin still wanted to hear.

The surgeon couldn't speak for some reasons. He

seemed to shocked and confused. He removed his glasses, "Your Highness was

shot in her chest. Right where her heart is residing."

Drops of painful tears were racing down Jimin's

cheeks. Inside he was breaking down slowly. Jungkook covered his mouth with his

hands to stop believing.

The surgeon took a moment then said, "S-still.........she's

breathing."

As if his heart regained a new energy, Jimin's

eyes widened. Jungkook was surprised as well.

"What?" he asked the surgeon.

"The Queen, indeed lost much blood and was

shot in her chest. Miraculously, the bullet was found right beside her heart.

The operation was a success. She's alive!" The surgeon broke into

happiness.

Jungkook smiled brightly as if he found his lost

toy back. He hugged Jimin tightly and kept patting his back.

"Hyung! Noona is alright! She's

alive!" he was about to cry in happiness but he was strong enough to hide

that.

Jimin still couldn't believe it. He didn't even

know his wife was so strong. He instead of smiling, broke down in tears. But in

happiness. He fell on his kness and hid his face inside his palms to cover his

crying face. He was the king after all.

Jungkook held the surgeon's hands and kept

shaking it with gratitude, "Thank you so much, doctor! Y-you have done a

great job! Thank you for your hard works! We'll........Hyung will make sure you

recieve your prize and honor....."

The surgeon became shy and chuckled, "No,

no, please....I didn't do anything... All thanks to Almighty and The Queen's

strong body and mind......Please don't thank me...."

Jimin wiped his face and stood up, looking at

the surgeon, "Thank you, Doctor. As Jungkook said, I'll give you the

tittle of one of the best doctor of our Kingdom. But first, can I meet her

now?"

"Nae, Your Majesty. Please come with me.

She's been escorted into a V.I.P patient room."

The doctor took him to room no 86. He opened the

door and entered after

Jimin entered. She was laying on the bed unconscious, with white

bandages wrapped around her head, saline and injections were injected almost

everywhere on her body. In one word, she looked no more than a poor patient.

Jimin blinked a few times.

"She's unconscious right now. But I think

she will wake up soon. We are providing her as blood as possible. Right now,

her body is really weak." The doctor stated.

Jimin nodded his head slowly.

"I-I shall get going then....." the

doctor gave some privacy to him and left the room.

Jimin slowly walked over to her bed. He was

feeling way too guity to see her like that. He sat beside her and stared at her

bruised face.

He wondered when did the love of his life became

so adamant. She did go to the battlefield inspite forbidding her. She didn't

think for a second before risking......no... Sacrificing her life to save her

husband.

He was crying inside all the time now that no

one was here, he cried softly again. He held her pale hand and tightened his

grip.

Her white milky body, her brownish red hair, her

tiny nose, her pretty pink lips, her fascinating eyes, her little

hands........made everything perfect about her. This.......ordinary girl.......

When did she became so fearless? How did she had the slightest wish to die for

her husband?

Among his wonderings about his wife, he felt

grateful. Grateful that his wife loved him so much that she even did this. Also

he felt guit inside his trembling heart. Because of him, she's on her death bed

now.

He caressed her cheeks and hair softly,

"J-Jagiya...........It's me.....Jimin."

His voice cracked and his throat dried as he

cried too much. "Why did you do this? Who told you to fight? I told you

not to......why did you had to be so arrogant about saving me? Why?"

Knowing she won't answer her, he felt more

sorrow and pain. Right now, he just wanted to hug her and scold her at the same

time so much......but unable to.

"Myeong Jo-ah......you know I love you,

right? I will love you forever.....No matter where you are.......I will always

be there for you......I love you, sweetheart......." he kissed on her cold

forehead. He badly wished for her to open her eyes. He wanted to see that

unique smile of hers. As knowing it'll take her time to regain conscious, he

just sat there, holding her hand and silently sobbing and at the same time,

thanking her for saving his life.
