Parallel: Always Side by Side but Never Together.
Meeting in the rain
Irene
Why do you have to go out?
Ziya
I feel suffocated in this castle... I miss the time when there was no war...and we could go anywhere we wanted...
Ziya
I could put lots of flowers in your pretty hair... and make you look like a real life fairy...
Irene
I'll get scolded if I don't keep you in front of my eyes...
<At that moment a maid knocks onto the door and invites the princess for lunch>
Ziya
*Gives pleading puppy eyes to sneak out*
Irene
Fine go but come back before it gets darker...
Ziya
*Sneaks out through window*
Ziya
"Your highness the food is getting cold"
Irene
I am not hungry I'll eat later...
<Running from the castle she passed by the royal garden>
Ziya
Wish I was a fairy and I had wings... I could fly far far away in the vast sky and see different sides of the world instead of being a damsel in distress of cold walled castle....
<She takes out her paint brush and other things and starts singing and drawing>
Ziya
That I want a real good love, good love, good love
I'm tryna find a love, good love, real love...
Ziya
I was in pitch black, but I couldn't stop thinking of you all day long
I want to take one step and two steps closer without you knowing...
Ziya
Stay with you, with you, with you, with you
I will be your reason, rеason, reason, reason
I hope this feeling rеaches you, to you, you
To you......
•Song lyrics: Rebirth by Jimin•
<A heart who heard the voice and couldn't stop himself but come to find the owner of the voice>
Taehyung
Who are you and what are you doing in here?
<Ziya was lost in painting and singing when suddenly she heard a voice of a man she got scared and her paint brush fell from her hands>
<She looked at his eyes and he looked at hers and their eyes met and recognized each other>
Ziya
Are you the soldier I bumped into a few days ago?
Taehyung
You still haven't answered what are you doing in the royal garden? Who gave you permission to be here?
<With shuttering voice she replied>
Ziya
I--I am a maid here her highness princess of Rivera is very kind she treats me like--
Ziya
Li--like a friend she allowed me to be here to paint...
Taehyung
As a maid you have quiet an expensive hobby...
Ziya
You are a guard in royal palace?
Taehyung
No but today my comrade had duty here but for some reason he couldn't be here so I am in his place...
<It suddenly starts to pour>
Ziya
Oh no my painting....
<She tried to over it with her small hands but what could it shelter Taehyung gave a disappointed smirk but helped her hold the painting and both of them ran for shelter>
<The time era where Ziya was from the women would always cover up their face with veil before going out and they were very conservative, Ziya got drenched in rain a little since she was wearing white it was looking transparent, she was feeling very shy, embarrassed and uncomfortable as it's not right for unmarried young girl to be alone with an unknown man drenched it rain she tries to cover herself with her hands but what can it cover anyway>
Taehyung
*Notices her and her discomfort*
Taehyung
Don't worry I'll not look at your side you are safe around me...
<Taehyung said the words out loud which put Ziya in more shy and embarrassing moment but she was relived that he wasn't looking at her she was glad the soldier was a gentleman>
<Something inside Ziya changed towards this soldier she met twice, she liked him and like the way he acted thoughtful and protected her dignity not ones but twice even without knowing who she is, it made her feel warm>
<At that moment Tarhyung's eyes falls on the figure that Ziya painted>
Taehyung
Who is it? Do you know him?
Ziya
No, ummm he doesn't exist he is imaginary...
Taehyung
*Clenches his fist in anger*
Taehyung
You sure? Then how did you draw him and why did you draw him?
Ziya
It may sound cliche to you.. but I think he is my lover... I always dream about this guy he is always with me.. He sings for me.. he dances with me I am waiting for him to appear in real life... I am sure he exists somewhere... I am trying to find him...
<Taehyung didn't believe in any of her words because he is sure who the person in the painting is but he was trying to figure out why did she drew him here the lips part is visible and eyes are covered but in reality the man never revealed his lower face and his eyes are the only part that a person can see so how did she see it and drew it? Where did she even met him? He was about to ask>
Irene
What the hell are you doing here in the rain uncovered?
Irene
*Runs to her and covers her soaked body where her white dress has become transparent she covered Ziya with a long jacket*
Taehyung
Greetings your highness!
*bows and greets Irene*
Ziya
Sorry your highness princess of Rivera..
Ziya
Sorry for making you worry... He is just a royal guard I got caught in rain he helped me..
Ziya
Me who is your maid I need to cook dinner for you let's leave your highness...
Irene
Aww---Aah ok ok yeah! My maid yeah cook dinner for me--
Irene
You didn't try to take advantage of my maid did you???
Irene
You do know right if you see things that you are not supposed to see and talk things that you are not supposed to speak you'll be punished!
Irene
You met no woman in this garden neither saw her drenched in water. Do you understand?
Taehyung
Yes you highness I understand. I met no one I know nothing about anyone.
<Taehyung salutes Irene and the girls leave>
<Taehyung took a one last glance of the disappearing figure of Ziya>
<It'll be a lie if Taehyung says he didn't saw Ziya's drenched body which was looking milky white and soft her body smell made him feel really attracted to her, her shy body language made him want to protect her more and take responsibility for seeing her drenched self, was it love at first sight for him or was it just attraction he didn't knew but one thing was sure he felt something for this little maid>
Irene
Why are you hiding your face there's no one in the room...
Ziya
I am not....
*lips curved in a smile*
Irene
Wait... what??? Did something happen between you and the guard????
<Irene asked in a teasing tone>
Ziya
No, nothing happened? He didn't look at me he kept his back facing towards me...
Irene
Owwwww... so our princess liked his gentlemen manners?
<Ziya's lips curves into a smile and she agrees to Irene's statement by lowering her head>
Irene
Oh my god????? what???? so you started liking the guard????? Is he the one you think from your dream?
Ziya
By face no... but hmmm
Ziya
I don't know the way he acted like you know I was at the river side you saw it na how he held me and saved me from falling...
Ziya
and then today the way he was protecting my painting and was so considerate to not look at me in my embarrassing moment...
Ziya
I don't know his eyes are so scary but his actions... He gives mix signals...
Irene
Ahaa!!! *smiles and pats her head*
Irene
He is a soldier he is supposed to be scary or how else he is gonna keep enemies fearful of our country?
Irene
But sure I also got mixed vibes from him as if he is very dangerous... just gut feeling nothing against him...
Ziya
Right!!! I too got that guy feeling...
<Another side of the story>
Jimin
So did you get the entry passage and their placement and defense arrangements?
Taehyung
I almost did analysed 80% of it
Jungkook
So we'll attack the castle directly from this gate?
Jimin
Did anybody got suspicious of you?
Taehyung
I ran into a maid who is not a big deal but I did ran into the princess too...
Jungkook
You met her? How did she looked?
Jimin
You are sure interested about your fiance!
Jungkook
What fiance we are ordered to kill her in next two days... I just asked...
Taehyung
She seemed very arrogant and protective of people it was a surprise she cared so much for a maid.. but what a waste she will have to die coz of her father's crimes..
Jimin
She was born into a royal family it gives privilege of immense wealth, pleasure and power of course when the time comes you pay for it with life too..
