STRONG AFFECTION : Chapter 31 – 40
By Naomi Cindy B
CHAPTER 34
“Yes .. Riya, so get ready till five days time” King Jung said before leaving
“Jimin” Sera said, facing him
He held the wall for support so he won’t fall
“Mother did I just hear right?” He asked, facing the ground
” Calm down first” Sera replied but Jimin rushed out of the place
“Jimin!, Jimin!” Sera called after him, running after him too
“Fools” Cal said, still smiling
“Now I know he’s really into the maid, let’s see how they’ll handle this, and that maid… Keep a close eye on her” Rachel said
” I told Darrin to do that already” he replied

Jimin got to his room and closed the door roughly, almost breaking it down
“Jimin what’s wrong?” Cory asked quickly with concern on his face
Jimin stared blankly at him as he walked slowly to the bed, he sat weakly on the bed, staring into space
“Jimin talk to me” Cory persuaded
“I’m…. Getting married five days to come” he said slowly
“I knew it!, His majesty choose the bride? ” He said and Jimin nodded
” I’ve always told you that your initial thinking is irrational, how could you say you don’t want to stress your heart by falling in love?, How could you say you want his majesty to choose for you without thinking about the future, now the future is here and it has happened, who’s the bride? ” He asked
” Riya…. ” Jimin replied and Cory’s eyes widened
“Don’t tell me you’re talking about Riya Park, the arrogant girl who nearly killed the farmer back then at the marketplace” he said
” It’s her” Jimin muttered, closing his eyes
“He.ll!, Marrying an ape will be better… She’s arrogant, proud, wicked, callous, cruel… Name it!, Now what’ll be kimora’s fate” Cory said
Jimin kept her eyes closed and refused to talk
“This is hard, the king’s orders can’t be rejected since you said it by yourself, he just did your wish” Cory said and Jimin spranged up, he head for the door immediately
“Where are you going?” Cory asked, blocking his way
” Move, I need to go tell father that I’m not interested in the sour wedding, I can’t possibly get married to the girl I hate most in this world, if there’s anyone I hate more than queen Rachel then it’s her, I’ve only met her once but I hate her, I really really hate her…. Where will I put Kimora if I get married to that owl, just where! ” He yelled, breathing heavily
” Think Jimin, think!, are you planning to get Kimora killed?, Or are you planning never to see her again? ” Cory said
” What are you talking about! ” Jimin said loudly
” She’s a maid for crying out loud!, A low maid sorry to say but it’s the truth, have you ever seen a king who allows his prince to marry a maid?, Once you let his majesty know about it Kimora will be the one to take the punishments, she’ll either be killed for having an affair with a prince or if his majesty will be kind, she’ll be banished from Miryang to a far town where you won’t be able to see her again, can you take that?, Tell me can you?, Look what almost happened to me just because princess Royalty touched me, I was almost beheaded all because I’m a low guard, not like you don’t know the hard harsh rules of Miryang, Kimora will either get killed or get exiled, so sit and think! ” Cory said, breathing heavily after the long speech
Jimin’s arms dropped and tears threatened to fall from his eyes but he stopped the tears from falling, he wiped them but that doesn’t stop his eyes from being red
“What do I do?, I dunno what to do I love Kimora so much, do you know how hard it is if I don’t see her within an hour?
It breaks my heart and I’ll start missing her like right now, I always crave to be beside her and I won’t be able to think straight if she snubs be, I’ll get sick if that happens, Cory I swear I never knew I’d fall in love insanely like this…
I really never knew, I just thought… Love is worthless… But now I know it’s not, it’s the best thing that has ever happened to me…. I’m going crazy right now I really hate seeing her tears” he said
Cory hugged him like a brother, patting his back slowly
“Keep calm and talk to Kimora about it first” he said.
Sera shifted back from the door where she has been eavesdropping from
She held her robe tightly, finding what she just heard shocking
“Jimin…. Is in an affair with… Kimora?” She muttered to herself
” No…. This isn’t happening”

Maids chamber**
The maids are busy washing the dishes that were used for dinner and lady Ambrosia is supervising, Kimora is the one bringing the dishes in
“I wonder where he is, I’ve not seen him since we came back from the woods” she thought as she walked in with another tray of plates
A maid suddenly rushed in
“Big news I’m so happy!” She gushed, breathing heavily
“What’s up? ” Ambrosia said
“What news?’ Tania asked
” Just guess” the maid replied
” Don’t be like this and just spit it out” Tania said
” A wedding is happening here five days to come” she replied
“Who’s getting married!” Kimora asked quickly
“Must be the first prince, prince Cal, I wonder who the bride will be I can’t wait! ‘ Tania said loudly
“It’s not the first prince” the maid replied
“Then the first princess? ” Ambrosia said
” No it’s not her either, so no one was expecting it too, well it came as a shock to me when I eavesdropped it too…. It’s the second prince, prince Jimin” the maid replied
” Stop joking around” Kimora said, not believing her ears
“Lady Kim I’m not joking here, I heard the king saying it himself, prince Jimin is getting married five days to come, to Riya Park, daughter of the richest nobleman in Miryang” the maid replied and the tray of plates fell from Kimora, all the plates shattered to pieces on the ground immediately
“Kimora!” Tania said, rushing to her
Her feet got wounded with the broken plates already
“What were you thinking, you’ve wounded yourself” Tania said
*Hurry and get the broom” lady Ambrosia ordered and the broken plates were quickly swept
” What’s wrong?” Ambrosia asked
“Headmaid, can I…. Excuse myself? ” She asked politely
” Oh…. Ok, be ok” she replied and Kimora left immediately
She went to her room and backed the door immediately she entered
“What was I expecting anyways… I’m just a maid” she said and let out her tears
” Jimin is getting married, my Jim” she said sorrowfully
” Challenges are setting in, get a hold of yourself and tackle it with wisdom” the voice said
” I don’t think I want to listen to you today, please don’t talk” Kimora replied, blocking her ears
” Be courageous and brave, you can do it Flowerina” the voice said
” Go already!!! ” She screamed, crying more
” It’s normal to cry, it must hurt a lot” the voice said
” I don’t want to listen today, please leave me alone” she replied, still blocking her ears
A presence suddenly appeared in front of her with bright white rays of light surrounding her, she’s just like the older form of her mythical form, her back is on her
Kimora stood slowly, walking to her
“Who are you?, Petal?” She said
“Yes, Petal, the goddess who ruled the flower realm for hundred years” she replied without turning her face to Kimora
” Then why is your back on me?, I want to see your face’ Kimora replied
“Not yet”
“Why? ‘
” Soon, when the right time comes you’ll see my face, but right now, be careful, pains can make one turn irrational, tears can blind you from the truth, but in all…. Be wise” Petal said and vanished
” Confusion again, Gaeul was right, even without seeing her face, her back view reminds me of my mythical form” she thought, wiping her tears.

Night, slvt house**
“Go dress up, why will you come here in normal robe?, The man you’re spending the night with is waiting in the room already” mistress Yeo Sang said immediately she sighted Ginelle
” I don’t plan to continue like this” she replied
“Meaning?”
“I’m quitting, even if I’ll starve till death, I’ll endure it, I don’t know why I choose this dirty job in the first place anyways” she replied
” Did I hear right?, You’re quitting?, The best gisaeng in my brothel is really quitting?, What a joke” mistress Yeo Sang said unbelievably
” I want to live a normal life too, I want to be free from the guilt that’s trying to murder me, mistress I’m done here” she replied and walked out on Yeo Sang
” You really quit? ” Demi said, blocking her way
“Out of my way” she replied
“Well it’s a good thing, I’ll become the best, leave already and never come back” Demi said, moving out of the way
Ginelle left the house and stopped when she got to the front of it
She looked at the house again and sighed. “I regret the day I started working here as a slut, I regret the day I lost my vrgnity to a man old enough to be my uncle, I hope this house with crumble” she said and made to start going but she was suddenly captured by two guys she recognizes as the guards from the house
“Let me go!” She said, wriggling herself out of their holds
She gave them a kick on their faces and they fell, she started running with all her strength and she can hear many footsteps behind her, she’s surely getting chased
She got to a point and looked back, over twenty guys are chasing her
“Huh?, Darn it” she said to herself and made to continue running but she stumbled on something and fell
She stood and tried to continue her race again but got blocked by the guys
She tried defending herself by fighting them but a g.un was pointed on her forehead immediately
She can hear her heartbeats as it slammed loudly on her chest, she stood still and mistress Yeo Sang entered the circle
She smiled devilishly and held Ginelle’s face
“Pretty angel, you think you can run away from me? You signed a year contract with me and you must complete it before I’ll start thinking of releasing you” she said
” I can’t continue like this, please let me go I don’t want to do this anymore, I can’t” Ginelle pleaded
“I’m the one who has the right to say when it’s over, it’s not time yet so get back there and serve the man” mistress replied
“I don’t want to… Please let me go!” She said, drawing back
” If you refuse, that gun will be used on you, and you know the outcome, de.ath!, Carry her! ” Mistress ordered and Ginelle was bundled on the shoulder of one of the guys
She was taken back to the bro.thel immediately.
