You were running.

The forest floor is rough, full of fallen leaves and twigs. Multiple cuts and bruises decorated your bare feet, yet you kept running, as though you could not feel the pain.

There was a sudden howl and you tripped over a thick branch, crashing towards the ground. Your face distorted to a silent scream, trying to pick yourself back up, but the strength in your body was long gone.

You were hungry. You were cold. You were hurt. You were tired.

A twig snapped somewhere. You turned your head to the sound of the noise, shaking in fear. Placing your palm on the forest floor, you dragged yourself backwards, biting hard on your lower lip to keep yourself from making more noises.

Your back hit something hard. You froze entirely as something slithered on your arm, hissing as it did so. A pair of pale hands appeared in your field of vision, covering your eyes. The owner of the hands forced your head back as something wrapped themselves around your exposed throat, hissing contently. You felt imprisioned, trapped. Another pair of hands took yours and you feel something soft and warm pressing on the back of your hand.

"My Star…" The one behind you whispered, his sweet voice sending goosebump rising along your skin. "Where are you trying to go, my Star?"

You couldn't move. You felt trapped, suffocated. You felt as though the air had turned concrete. There was another hiss, and the thing that had wrapped itself around your neck is slowly unravel itself, slithering down your arm.

A snake.

"Our Star…" A different voice cooed dangerously close to your ear, his fingers trailing against your cheek. "You know you can't run, don't you?" Something wet licked your earlobe and you flinched, trying to get away from him. Your body tensed up, feeling a different presence. Another snake slithered up your legs, towards the second man next to you. "We won't let you go, our Star…"

You gasped, sitting up. A naseous feeling rise quickly in you. Putting your hand to your mouth, you quickly rushed out of your tent, running over to the nearest bush, retching.

"It's a dream, Y/n…" You muttered to yourself, heaving another dry retch as you try to calm yourself down. The rubied bracelet on your wrist dangled as you wiped the cold sweat off your forehead, your other hand patting the front of your chest. "Just a dream…" You tried to convince yourself, your voice shaky.

"Your Highness?" You turned. John stood behind you, a cloak in his arms. He approached you, carefully fastening to cloak around you. "It's chilly." He said, taking a step back away from you when he was done. Your trembling fingers reached out and grabbed his arms, fear suddenly getting a hold of you. "Wait!"

John stared. You let go of his arm, muttering an apology. "I apologize… But could you just, watch over me as I sleep?" You plead.

Other than your brothers, John was the only one who ever gave you a sense of security. You don't know why, but you just trusts him. The magician hesistated, before giving a curt nod. He accompanied you back to your tent, tuck you into the sheets and sat down beside you.

"I will cast a sleeping spell, your Highness." John's voice was soft. You feel his hand hovering above your closed lids, and a strange but relaxing feeling spreaded across your body. You slowly relaxed, allowing your mind to slip off into the darkness.

Mist.

"Today is the day we meet the Star you and Seonghwa speak so highly of, Brother." Wooyoung grinned cheekily as Seonghwa hold him down to adjust his uniform. "I'm really looking forwards to it." He wriggled his brows, making Seonghwa frown. He gripped Wooyoung's chin tightly, his gloved hand tidying up the Prince's hair.

Hongjoong gave a side glance to his brother. "I expect you to behave, Wooyoung. She's not a toy." He said. Seonghwa, satisfied with Wooyoung's current look, finally let go of him. "It's all done, your Highness." He announced, taking his rightful place behind Hongjoong. Wooyoung thanked him with a huge smile, turning his attention to the castle grounds below. "I know that, hyung. You're really so naggy… And you should tell that to San instead of me." Wooyoung pouted.

Hongjoong had appointed San as one of the guards who will protect your brother and you at your time in Mist, and the younger has left earlier this morning to welcome you. Hongjoong rubbed the old silk ribbon between his fingers, following Wooyoung's gaze. "Do you think she knows it by now?"

"The marraige request?" Seonghwa answered. Wooyoung's head whipped towards him, his eyes wide in disbelief. "The what?" He screeched, earning himself a glare from Seonghwa. Ignoring the older's gaze, he moved nearer to Hongjoong. "A marraige request? You want to marry her?"

Hongjoong ignored him, speaking as though he had not heard Wooyoung. "She has to accept that." His voice was light, but his tone was commanding. "She can only marry me. She can only belong to us."

"'Us'?" Wooyoung repeated, looking from Seonghwa to Hongjoong. "Brother is going to share with Seonghwa?" He questioned, suddenly excited. He pushed his face towards Seonghwa, bright with excitment. "That means Brother might share with the rest of us?"

Wooyoung is always loyal to Hongjoong. His mother had been Hongjoong's mother's maid, but was forced to join the Mist King's harem after a night where the King had been drunk. After the night, she had knelt in front of Hongjoong's mother, begging for forgiveness. But the Queen knew that she had not wanted this in the first place, and was forced by the King to serve him. She allowed Wooyoung's mother to continue serve her and had protected her from other concubines when she was pregnant. When Wooyoung was born, his mother immediately gave Wooyoung to the Queen.

The things that Hongjoong and Seonghwa couldn't do? Wooyoung was on it. He was also the one who brought Yeosang and San, the both of them now serving Hongjoong. To reward their loyalty, the Crown Prince announced that they could share whatever they desired with him, except for his throne and power.

"Hwa likes her." Hongjoong said simply. Wooyoung reached for his brother's hand and placed it on his cheek, pouting prettily.

"So if I like her, will you share with me, too?"

"Here we are." Soobin said, holding your hand tightly as he guided you down the carraige. A man wearing a black armour approached, bowing his head. "Mist welcomes the Moon and Star of Eternity. I am General San, assigned by Prince Hongjoong to be your guide for your stay."

The speaker raised his head and your breath hitched. Your brother inclined his head to Choi San, who turned to look at you. You stared at him blankly, your insides screaming.

How can Choi San be so good-looking?

The feline-looking man had slick black hair, toned muscles and a dimpled smile. You feel a tug on your sleeve, and heat rushed to your face as you curtised back. "Please to meet you, General San."

"The pleasure is mine." If possible, San's smile became even wider. You looked down onto the ground, willing the heat in your face to go away. Gosh, you must have looked so stupid, gaping at San like that.

"Now if you follow m- Jongho?" You looked up. San was staring at someone behind you, his expression shocked. You turned to see John, who refused to look up. "What are you doing here?"

You blinked, confused by the turn of events.

Jongho?

The Jongho?

No, John could not be the Jongho you were thinking of, could he?

"My brother said that it's time for him to return to his kingdom." Soobin said, looking from Jongho to San. "My sister saved him in the streets of Eternity seven months ago."

You felt betrayed. John- no, Jongho inclined his head to you. "My apologies, your Highness." He said, still refusing to meet your eyes. San gave Soobin a deep bow. "Thank you, your Highness... Jongho! Come here!" He hissed as the younger walked over to him.

You don't know what to feel at the moment. You have been living with the last and mysterious male interest of the Otome game, for seven long months.

But it isn't your fault. Everytime Jongho appears in the game, he was always wearing a mask, only revealing his eyes. And he rarely appeared too, disappearing from most important chapters. The only time you ever see him was when San mentioned that he had a younger brother studying as a magician.

"I hope my brother did not cause much trouble, your Highness." San's voice was serious. When it comes to Jongho, San is furiously protective of him. Soobin waved his hand dismissively, patting your hand. "It was Y/n, General."

San looked at you. To your surprise, he kneeled down on one knee, taking the back of your hand and pressing his lips to it. The biggest honour a knight could ever give. "Thank you, Star." He said softly as your face heated up again. You waved your hand, looking at Soobin for help. "It-it's nothing! I didn't know John- Jongho-nim is your bro-"

"Jongho, your highness." Jongho corrected you. He met your eyes, his chocolate ones boring into your light hazel ones. "I do apologize for keeping this from you. The Sun has requested this."

You looked to Soobin for comfirmation and he nodded. San got up, sending a glare to his brother as he turned to Soobin. "Pardon me, your Highnesses. Now, if you would follow me, I shall lead you to where you would stay."
