Broken Promises ( Bts X Yn )
5. The fall
Muted sounds of drums, cheers, and celebration echo faintly through the stone walls
Yn sits before her mirror, numb
Yn
The wedding must have started by now...
And I’m wearing his gift.
A dress he chose for me… for a wedding I’m not a part of.
She touches the silk gown—white delicate embroidery across her chest. It fits like a second skin but feels heavier than chains.
Yn
He said this would make me look like a queen.
But I was never his queen, was I? I wonder how I look.. more beautiful than Jihyun?
She reaches into her jewelry box and pulls out a small, old pendant
A flashback flickers in her mind—two children, holding hands under the blossom tree which is still visible from her window..
Taehyung
When we’re older, I’ll marry you. You’ll be my moonlight queen. Promise?
She wore it and clutched the pendant to her chest..
Yn
If I could choose again…
I’d choose you. Or maybe… no one at all.
No crown. No prince. No palace.
Just… peace.
She walks slowly toward the balcony doors. Opens them. A cold wind greets her like an old friend
She stepped on the railing
Yn
What if I could turn back time.. Or be someone else..
Could I be free?
The sky above is pale and tired
She let go herself.. closing her eyes..
Her body fall from the fourth-floor balcony. A loud splash echoes as she crashes onto the marble fountain below. The crystal water turns crimson.
At the grand hall where the marriage ceremony was held..
The priest was asking for their vows..
A guard bursts through the door..
unknown
Your Majesty! Lady Yn… she… she jumped!
unknown
From her balcony—onto the garden fountain. There’s blood everywhere.
Jungkook throws off his ceremonial cloak and runs. His crown falls behind him..
Jungkook crashes into the courtyard, his wedding robes dragging behind him, soaked in blood.
He dropped on his knees..
He scoops her broken body into his arms, sobbing violently.
Jungkook
Why?! I was going to fix everything!
I was going to choose you—just wait—
WHY COULDN’T YOU WAIT?!
Blood trails from her onto his clothes. He presses her cold hand to his lips
Jungkook
Come back to me… please… I’ll undo it all…
You’re not allowed to leave me like this.
He carries her, broken and bloodied, through the palace halls.
Everyone watches in stunned silence as their king collapses beneath grief..
He lays her on his bed gently, trembling.
Jungkook
I loved you. I was just… late.
So late.
He slid his hand on her hair.. And stay with her.. All night
At a dark alley in the lower town
A weak breath. A girl gasps awake in a cramped, dimly lit room. Dust floats in the air.
She looks around, heart racing. Her body is intact. Her skin warm. No blood. No silk gown. Just old sheets and shadows
unknown
I jumped… I was falling..
She rushes to a cracked mirror—sees a reflection of both hers and not hers. Same eyes. Same soul. Different name.
unknown
I’m alive?
No… I’m someone else…
Her voice steadies. The name comes to her like a ghost..
