Run"Come in."
Shinyoung called as she heard knocks on her door, she wasn't doing anything except for staring into blank space. She snapped her head towards her bedroom door when she heard the knocks and the next thing she saw was her twin's head peeking in. He walked inside her room and shut the door behind him, Shinyoung continued to look at him.
It was already late afternoon but Shinyoung didn't bother to go out as she wanted to let her feet recover to the fullest. Her eyes continued to follow her twins movement as he took a seat next to her on the bed. "How are you feeling?" Seungkwan asked and stole a glance at her feet, Shinyoung moved it around indicating that she was fine.
"I want you to tell me everything-"
"I already told y-"
"Truthfully."
Shinyoung looked at Seungkwan for a while, she still couldn't understand how he managed to tell the difference when she was lying and when she was not. He claimed it to be 'twin instict' but she never felt anything tingling when he lied to her.
"One of them accompanied me back to the castle, but he ran away as soon as I was about to thank him." The Princess said after a while of silence, she knew she had to tell Seungkwan as he was the only one she could trusted and ask for help. This time, Seungkwan can't believe what he was hearing. All of her stories he never had doubt but this one sounded strange.
"Then why would they kidnapped you?" Seungkwan asked, his eyebrows furrowed. "That's the thing, they needed my help." Shinyoung said and paused, she wasn't sure if she should continue with this as she hasn't decided what she should choose either. "What kind of help?" Seungkwan asked as her story caught his attention.
"They told me that I could help them discover the truth. It was an incident long ago, their village was destroyed by us humans. Jisoo said only seven of them were left but one of them bailed the group. Junghan claimed him to be a traitor. So, they told me that I can help them to find out the truth behind the attack and settle this once and for all."
"They told you their names?" Seungkwan raised a brow and Shinyoung nodded. "So, did you agree? Was that why they escorted you back home?" Seungkwan added because he wanted to clear all the questions that had been running through his head.
"I told them I couldn't help them, that there must be some kind of mistake. However, Junghan snapped and said something about a prophecy and it made me wonder. Should I?" Shinyoung asked as she looked at her brother for answers. He had always been the one she would refer to every time she faced a problem and she hoped he'll solve this one as well.
"It wouldn't hurt to try, they must've been waiting for quite a time to only kidnapped you now." Seungkwan said and the Princess sighed. It was exactly what she was thinking, but she felt afraid. She was scared if she couldn't help them at all. She felt sorry and wanted to help but she still didn't
