What's your secret?

The next day, in the crack of dawn, you decided to sneak out of the castle to go to the village to see the old woman whom had helped you before.

You didn't want anyone to come with you, not even Rina, so you disguised the pillows and blankets as yourself sleeping in the bed. It did work somehow because when Rina saw you still asleep, thinking that all of that is you, she just walked away.

"Grandma? Are you in there?" You called her as you knocked on the door gently. The door opened slightly and when she sees that it was you who came, she quickly open the door and let you in.

"I know why you're here my dear, let's go talk in my room" She said as she lead you upstairs to where her room is at. You nodded your head and followed her silently.

"(Y/n), I feel a small presence of the thing that struck you before" She said with a serious look and tone. Your eyes grew wide and your mouth left ajar.

"You mean, I-I can go back home? I can go soon?" You asked her, feeling a bit impatient.

"I think so too.. it's getting near, maybe if I lead you back to where you first landed here, it will come back and take you home"

You became speechless. You were actually overjoyed to hear of the news but deep down inside somewhere in your heart, you felt a little heavyhearted. Your smile faded as soon as you thought about your life here in this world.

"But.. does that mean.. I'll leave everything behind like this?" You asked her and she only nodded.

"Why- just why am I feeling so blue? I missed my family and friends so much but why can't I bring myself to say yes about going back home?" You speak as your tears began to fall down on your cheeks.

"My dear child, you must have been so fond of this place.. that's why your heart didn't want to leave just yet"

"N-no.. I-I can't be.. I want to go home.."

"But you also wanted to stay"

You sighed, "You're right.. I do want to stay.. I can't lie to you, can I?"

"You really can't and I know the reason behind this"

You listened to her very attentively.

"It's because of someone isn't it? And that someone is not just any normal person"

You laughed and said, "You're right again grandma.. it's because of him. But I don't know if he felt the same way.."

"You'll know very soon" She smiled at you.

"Now listen my dear child, I know a few things about the laws of the stars. It's actually an ancient myth which I don't believe but now that I've already seen one, I will tell you about it"

"What is it grandma?"

"The myth says that if you were able to meet it again, it will grant you one wish" She explains. "that one wish will be your only hope, whether you want to go back or not, just make sure you use it as your heart desires"

"One wish?" You repeated.

"Yes, only one"

"But it's hard for me to choose.."

Before you even realize it, you cried again.

As soon as you return to the castle, you went back to your room without getting caught by Rina. You went on your bed and slipped inside the cover without bothering to change your clothes and get cleaned. Your mind right now is filled with all the things that you heard today. Your heart is hurting so much to the point where you wanted to puke. You wanted to cry again but this time no tears comes out, presumably because you were too numbed at the thoughts of choosing between this world and your world. You felt torn.

At the same time, a knock on the door was heard. You got up from your bed and shouted, "I'm not feeling hungry today Rina, I wanted to rest a bit more"

"But (y/n), you've been resting all morning now, you need to eat least one bite of your food" a very familiar voice spoke out instead of Rina's.

"Namjoon?"

"Yes it's me (y/n).. can you open the door for me?" He asked you politely.

"I-I'm sorry Namjoon" You quickly went over to the door and opened it for him.

"Here, I had the chiefs made you something to eat" He smiled at you as he showed you a tray full of food and drink.

"You shouldn't have Namjoon, let me take it from you"

You were about to take it from his hand but he stopped you from doing so.

"It's alright (y/n), let me put it on the table for you" He said as he walked past you to the table.

"B-but Namjoon-"

"Here, please come and eat (y/n)"

You really didn't have any appetite but you'll eat it all for the sake of his generosity.

"(Y/n).. I have something I wanted to talk to you about"

"What is it your highness?" You asked him as you take one last sip of the herbal tea.

"It's about you"

You were quite shocked that it almost made you choked on the tea that you're drinking.

"Me?" You pointed at yourself.

"Yes (y/n), will you tell me why you sneaked out this morning?" He looked at you as if he knew about the thing that you're hiding. You froze in the spot.

"Please (y/n), please tell me the truth" His eyes showed so much worries that you can't help but to actually tell him about it.

"Um.. Namjoon .. I- I won't lie and I will tell you.. but can you please assured me first that you won't tell his highness, Seokjin about this?"

There was silence between the two of you after you asked him this question.

"I will not tell him (y/n)" He smiled at you.

"I'm thinking of.. going back home.."
