It wasn't about becoming an empress.
#Side Story 1 (2)



์ ์ ๊ตญ
Did you all cry?


๊นํํ
Cool-] Hahaโฆ Yesโฆ He became the crown prince of the empire and showed an ugly sideโฆ


์ ์ ๊ตญ
It wasn't ugly at all


์ ์ ๊ตญ
.. I think it's better to cry comfortably rather than hide your sadness.


๊นํํ
Well then, that's good, haha...


์ ์ ๊ตญ
... Were you very surprised when you read the contents of the letter?


๊นํํ
Yeah, I guess so... haha


๊นํํ
I never dreamed that such things would happen between Abamamama and Eomamama.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Do you resent His Majesty?

Jungkook asked carefully, observing Taehyung's expression.

Taehyung smiled slightly at his question, looking up at the clear sky.


๊นํํ
How could I blame Aba Mama?


๊นํํ
It may have been like that in the past, but now he loves me the most in the world.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
That's good๐



์ ์ ๊ตญ
Your Highness the Crown Prince... would you like to hear the story between me and Your Highness the Empress?


๊นํํ
Oh, I knew it from what I heard when I was young


๊นํํ
I was just wondering if it was real.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
It's true.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Should I just say that I approached Her Majesty the Empress first? Hehe


๊นํํ
Ohโฆ I see


๊นํํ
But it's been almost 18 years since my mother passed away.


๊นํํ
Why doesn't your uncle meet other women?



์ ์ ๊ตญ
ah,


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Oh, is that what you were wondering? Hahahaha!!!

Jungkook laughed heartily at Taehyung's cute question and quickly answered.



์ ์ ๊ตญ
The reason lies with Her Majesty the Empress.


๊นํํ
What is the reason...?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
As Your Highness the Crown Prince knows...


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Her Highness the Empress was a great beauty.


๊นํํ
I know that.



๊นํํ
Oh, then maybe...?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
I was so in love with such a beautiful person


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Besides her, have any other women caught my eye?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
My eyes were too high, hahaha


์ ์ ๊ตญ
This is why I don't meet other women.


๊นํํ
Oh... The reason is simpler and more convincing than I thought...


๊นํํ
When I saw the portrait of my mother, I knew she was incredibly beautiful, but I didn't know she was this beautiful.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Oh, are you talking about that portrait?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
The painting was not even 1/10th of the real thing.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
If you see it in person, you will see how beautiful it is...



๊นํํ
.. still...


์ ์ ๊ตญ
yes?


๊นํํ
Still, Mother would want Uncle to meet other women.



์ ์ ๊ตญ
Smile-]


์ ์ ๊ตญ
No, I will leave Her Highness the Empress as my first and last love.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Also, I have no intention of meeting anyone, haha


๊นํํ
If that's what uncle says... I guess I have nothing to say anymore.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
lol


Jungkook and Taehyung were chatting away at the spot, but they left only after hearing people looking for them.
