BURNING AFFECTION - EPISODE 46 AND 47

Kimora kissed him gently and though it was surprising, he kissed her back, caging her face in the middle of his palms

“You guys should have told me to leave” Cory said, turning his back on them

Kimora parted his lips from Jimin’s and touched his cheeks gently, smiling as she did, she caressed it slowly while staring at his face

“I missed you” she said, her voice is still somehow slow

“I missed you so much kitten, damn much” he replied and kissed her forehead then hugged her tightly

She stayed in his arms for so long, not wanting to leave him anytime soon

After so long, she got to feel his warmth against her body again, she got to feel his touch again and have him around, she’s so happy right now, so much that she let out tears of joy

Jimin broke the hug and wiped the tears. “Don’t cry… please” he said

“I love you Jimin” she smiled

“I love you more Kimora” he replied and they started staring at each other till smiles covered their faces

Jimin looked back and saw Cory’s back on them, he smiled and beckoned on him,,

“Yes?, Are you guys done?” He replied, looking at them

“Silly you … Thanks for everything” Jimin said

” Don’t tryna make me blush” Cory replied, covering his cheeks like a girl

That made Kimora laugh slowly

“I’m not going back to the palace for now” Jimin said

“Then…where?” Kimora asked and he faced her

“Somewhere where I can be with only you, for a week or something” he replied

” What if we….

“Get caught?, The place is somewhere they can’t think of… we’re journeying to Goryeo, I have a friend there before travelling to France, I hope I’ll be able to recognize him cos it’s been long since we saw each other” Jimin replied

” Cool” Cory said

” You’re going with us, you won’t be safe if you stay in the palace, you’ll get questioned” Jimin said

” I understand, but I’ll have to go back to town and hire a horse” he replied

“Hire a horse?, Wait…do you know why I named my horse Yul?, It’s because it’s so energetic, it can convey four people at a time so stop talking about hiring an horse” Jimin said

He carried Kimora out of the place in his arms and helped her climb the horse, he sat beside her while Cory sat beside him

“I really pity Yul, though I’m lightweighted but I can feel it’s bone cracking, Goryeo is a somehow long journey” Cory said

” Shut up and watch how he tours like a professional” Jimin said, urging Yul to move

It moved and jerked forward, galloping down the sloppy path..

Miryang palace**

“Aaarrrrgg!!!!!!” Tania screamed as she entered the second store, a maid committed suicide by hanging herself right there

Headmaid appeared with several other maids and everyone has that shocked looks on their faces as they looked at the body unbelievably.

“Why on Earth will Dam hang herself” Ambrosia said, still staring at the body

She was dropped by the servants and taken away from the palace for burial

“Dam hanged herself?” Rachel asked in disbelief after hearing about it

*Yes your highness, she committed suicide in the second store room” a maid replied and she smiled

” What a waste of death, you should have told me to kill you instead, at least you’d be lucky to die by the hands of a royal” she thought.

*****

Royalty’s room**

Royalty just finished eating dinner and is just preparing to go to bed when she felt that sharp pain in her tummy again

She held it tight and leaned on the wall, breathing heavily and sweating lightly

“What’s happening to me since yesterday?, Why am I feeling weird?, My tummy” she said, pressing it with her fingers

The pain is gone right now so she sat silently on her bed

“Did I take something bad?” She wondered

A knock on the door made her stand

She opened the door and saw Suzy standing

“Hey sis” she smiled

“I couldn’t sleep in my room, I thought of….. coming here to..pass the night” Suzy said, touching her neck awkwardly

Royalty smiled and pulled her in by the arm

“Feel as free as the air, I’m so happy you’re sleeping here” she said

Suzy sat on the stool and sighed. “Jimin is not back yet from where he went in search of Kimora, I don’t know how he’s faring, I’m worried, I can’t even eat well” she said

Royalty sat in front of her and held her hands

” I understand how you feel cos I’m sad too, but can you please be ok?, They’ll be fine ok?, Jimin will come home with his lover, Cory is with him so he’s safe, don’t worry” Royalty said and rubbed Suzy’s hair

Suzy smiled and rubbed her hair too, their smiles mirrored each other as they did

“You’re the best sister I’ve ever seen, thanks for still willing to stay with me despite how bad I’ve been treating you, thanks for still caring about me Royalty, I respect you a lot, your type is rare” Suzy said

” You’re beautiful….are you aware of that?” Royalty said and Suzy nodded

” So just believe in yourself, you’re gonna be fine” she said

Suzy hugged her tightly

” Can we do things together from now on?, Dinner, lunch, breakfast, even brunch, let’s eat it all together, let’s go around together and wear same robe everyday, use same jewelries and same shoes, let’s behave like twin sisters are you in?” Suzy asked

” Sure, tonight is the happiest night of my life” Royalty replied, breaking the hug

” But .. . Why do I feel like treating you like my baby sis” Suzy teased

” Baby what?, We were born on the same day, same day Suzy” Royalty replied, poking Suzy’s forehead with her finger

Suzy threw her head back before facing her again

“I know….but…you have a cute baby face and I feel like treating you like someone younger, give you candies every morning, feed you like a toddler and..

“Shut your mouth” Royalty interrupted

“I want to carry you in my arms and throw you up like a child and…

“Suzy stop talking, I think I said that earlier” Royalty said and dipped her hand into her hair, she removed the pins and her hair fell on her face

“Royalty I’ll kill you …” She said, trying to take the hair off her face but Royalty scattered it again

“Royalty!!!” She shouted

Royalty fell on the bed, laughing loudly

*****

Goryeo town**

Jimin got there with Kimora and Cory after two hours journey, Yul stepped into the town and Jimin sighed

“Locating the house of that punk will be hard” Jimin said

“What’s his name, let’s just search with that” Cory replied

“Minho” Jimin replied

It’s so dark already and it’s obvious that Kimora is very tired from the journey stress

Jimin held her shoulders and gave her an assuring smile

“Forgive me for stressing you….” He said

“No it’s ok…. being with you is what I want” she replied

Jimin smiled and faced the town again

They started walking in, pulling the tired horse along

They were lucky to find a man just about to go into a house

“Ahjussi” Cory quickly rushed after him

“Yes?” He replied

“Please…can you direct us to the house of Minho?” He asked

” There are two Minho’s, Hwang Minho and Shin Minho” the man replied

” Jimin, over to you” Cory said

” I forgot his surname already cos he only told me once, I’m not sure if it’s Hwang or Shin” Jimin replied

” Ahjussi, can you please describe the looks of the both of them?” Cory asked

” I have things to do” the man replied and went in immediately

“Darn it!” Cory said

“It’s my fault for forgetting his surname” Jimin said

They continued moving and for almost thirty minutes, they found no one, thankfully it’s a moonlit night

“This is crazy” Cory muttered

They’re at the base of a tree right now in front of a big house

“We can’t possibly sleep here” Jimin said

“Who are you guys?” A voice asked and they quickly looked that way to see a man who looks like a servant

“Oh…at last” Cory said and went to him

“Please can you direct us to the house of Minho?”

“Shin Minho or Hwang Minho?” The man asked

” This again… heck!” Cory said

“Shin Minho is my master, the only rich scholar in this town” the guy said

” Really?, Then let’s meet him, I’ll know if it’s him when I see him” Jimin said

” I can’t let you meet him just like that….” He replied

” Firstly where’s his house?” Jimin asked

” Right here” the man replied, pointing at the house they’re in front of

“Whoa!, Then go inform your master that someone named Jimin is here to see him” Jimin said

The man left and entered the house

“What if Hwang Minho is your friend” Cory said

” We just have to try it out first” Jimin replied, holding kimora’s hand

The man came some minutes later with a big smile on his face

“What did he say?” Jimin asked

“He’s coming by himself, I guess he’s the one you’re looking for” the man replied and a guy came out of the house immediately

” Jimin is this really you?” He said, rushing to hug Jimin

“Minho?” Jimin said, breaking the hug

” Can’t believe this , Jimin it’s really you, I never knew you’re back from France” Minho said, hugging him again

” You’ve changed a lot” Jimin said

“Were you expecting me to remain the same?, It’s been long” Minho replied

” I’m glad I met you, meet my friend and bodyguard, Cory” Jimin introduced

” He’s so handsome, you don’t look like a Korean” Minho said

” I’m a Frenchman” Cory replied

“I knew it, nice to meet you” Minho said

“Same here”

“And here…” Jimin said, still holding kimora’s hand

“My woman, Kimora” he said and Minho’s eyes widened

“My gosh!, Jimin has a lover whereas I haven’t even started seeing any girl, this is so ridiculous” he said and Kimora smiled

” She’s so beautiful…I’m jealous” he said

“Nice to meet you” Kimora said

” That tiny voice…gosh!, Jimin you’re so lucky!, Nice to meet you too” Minho said

” I’m sure you’re aware that I won’t come at night like this if there’s no problem” Jimin said

” Seeing your lover and your guard, I know there’s a problem but don’t worry, Minho will settle it, I know the second prince of Miryang won’t come here by this time of the night if there’s nothing up .. so how many years are you spending with me?” Minho asked

” Years?, You must be kidding, a week or two will be ok, we just want to escape the palace for a while” Jimin replied

” Two weeks is too short, I’m hurt” Minho said, touching his chest

” You’re crazy” Jimin laughed

“I have enough rooms, let’s go in” Minho said, leading them into the big house.

****

Next day, Miryang palace**

“Cal is missing, my Jimin is missing, Kimora is nowhere to be found, what’s happening in this palace” Sera said in confusion, opening the door to Suzy’s room

She met surprise… Royalty and Suzy are still sleeping…on the same bed

“Those two….are they really the popular arch enemies In this palace?, Changes is real” she said..

Suzy yawned and opened her eyes, she saw Sera and smiled

” Mother” she said, stretching like a star fish

“Queen” Royalty’s voice said beside Suzy, she’s just waking up too

“Your brother is not in the palace and now Cal is missing, Kimora hasn’t been found” Sera said

” What!” They both chorused, spranging up

“Cal is missing now too?” Royalty said

“Everyone in the palace is worried” Sera said and Rachel appeared immediately, grabbing Sera roughly

“What have you done to my son!, Where did you put him!, Bring my son out of wherever you locked him at,, Sera release my son!, You kidnapped him because you want your son to be the crown prince right?, Sera you’re playing with fire!, Bring out my son!” She said loudly

” Have you eaten breakfast yet?” Sera said, pushing her away from herself

” Go find something to eat so hunger won’t drive you crazy, for crying out loud my son is also missing!, Your son went missing this morning but mine has been missing since last night!, So what are you talking about!” Sera shouted

” What!” Rachel said

Sera stormed away while Royalty came to view with Suzy

“You always tackle everything with the wrong thing” she said

” And what are you doing in Suzy’s room” Rachel said

” She’s my sister, why can’t I stay with her” Royalty replied

” She’s not your sister!” Rachel shouted

“Get the heck out of my face!” Royalty snapped and left

Suzy smiled mockingly. ” Can’t believe the first queen is a fool” she said and walked away too

” Sera and her daughter….they won’t know what hit them by the time Sera hits rock bottom” Rachel smiled

The palace guards are on search already, round the whole town and the whole forest and woods of Miryang, searching for the two princes.

****

Cal’s eyes opened slowly and he tried to stand but when he felt a stinging pain on his belly, he stayed back on the ground

“Aarrgh!” He groaned loudly, unable to move an inch from his spot

His eyes feels heavy in their sockets and his whole body feels like steel

“Aarrgh!!’ he groaned loudly again, scooping sand into his palms painfully

Soon he heard footsteps and voices coming his way, nearer and nearer

“I found the first prince!” The voice of a guard shouted and more than five of the palace guards rushed to where he’s laying

“Your highness!” They said, shocked to see his condition

He was quickly placed on the bed carrier and when they saw his wounded belly, they made their journey to the palace very fast, one of them carried Darrin on his shoulders too

They got to the palace and he was quickly attended to by the palace physician who knows immediately that he wasn’t wounded by a human

“It looks like the claws of a dangerous animal” Rachel said

” No your highness, it’s the non-human” the physician replied

“What!, Non-human….. attacked my son?” Rachel said

“It’s surely her, and I’m afraid, his wound can’t be cured by ordinary means” the physician replied.

*****

Suzy just finished reading the secret letter that arrived with the pigeon from Goryeo

She was in her room, brooding because of Jimin when the pigeon landed on her window, fluttering it’s wings and she saw a pink note attached beneath

She went for it and immediately she took the note, the pigeon flew away

★Top secret….. we’re safe somewhere, I and Kimora, Cory, so don’t worry, tell mother about it too….keep it a secret ~ JIMIN★

She finished reading it and beamed with smiles

She still pretended to be sad as she walked out of her room to Sera’s room

“Mother!” She gushed when she got in

“What?, Why that excitement when your brother is missing” Sera said

” Read this” Suzy said, giving her the note

Sera read it and sighed

“Must he do this?” She said

“Of course, he has to enjoy his love life, and I’ll help in frustrating Riya’s life before he’ll be back” Suzy replied happily then bounced out of the room

” Oh Jimin….I don’t want you to regret at the end, please be safe, and make sure that girl doesn’t get hurt” Sera said silently

*****

Goryeo town**

Kimora was standing at the long wide hallway before, but then she sighted a butterfly, flying across

She went after it and started chasing it around like a kid

Now that she has her powers and strength back, she can do anything, Jimin made sure her remaining wounds were treated before she went to bed last night, he watched her sleep and didn’t sleep till daybreak

Minho was king enough to give them a big room then he gave Cory another room

The house is very big anyways and no one needs to be told that Minho is so rich

There are numerous maids and guards just like the palace too and everywhere is just clean and calm

Before the day broke, her remaining wounds healed up magically, maybe because of the necklace, she tried transforming while taking her bath and it worked

She got everything back including Jimin…all at a time

She can’t possibly ask for more and she’s more than happy here, it’s peaceful

She’s still trying to catch the butterfly when hands grabbed her waist from behind, his scent brushed past her nose and she smiled

“Now that someone is strong, butterflies won’t rest” Jimin said, placing his head on her shoulder and she smiled

” It’s just so beautiful, that’s why I want to catch it but now it’s gone, thanks to someone” she said and Jimin chuckled

He placed a delicate kiss on the back of her neck and she gasped at the coldness of his lips

“Your lips is cold” she said, holding his hands to her tummy

He kissed that spot again and that stole another gasp from her lips

“Your gasps are beautiful too” he said and she laughed, facing him Immediately

He gave her an Eskimo kiss first before kissing her lips lightly

“No…” She said, staring at his tempting lips while licking her lips

” What?”

” Light kiss not accepted” she said

“Was planning something big” he said, smiling knowingly

“What?” She replied

He unbuttoned the only button in front of her robe and a small part of her b**bs revealed

Kimora bit her lower lip, looking at him

He smiled naughtily before kissing the revealing part of her first b**b for so long

Feeling his lips on it feels so different and her whole body ignited …

“Uhmm… Jimin” she moaned, not believing that cute sound actually came from herself

Jimin removed his lips from the first one and attached it to the second one

“Jimin wait…let’s go in” she said…
