♔ SERIES PAIRING: king!namjoon x princess!reader (south asian reader)♔

♔ CHAPTER WARNINGS + RATING: sfw, nc17, almost all angst tbh, brief mention of poison, y/n and namjoon are in the midst of a disagreement, honestly a mess of a problem between them, a mess of YEARNING most importantly. ♔

♔ SERIES SUMMARY: namjoon’s hopes for a blossoming relationship between you and him withers little by little with each passing day like a tree’s leaves between autumn and winter. a particular, significant dispute between the two of you becomes the last straw, marking a hiatus in your relationship as you depart his kingdom in favor of home. your husband allows you to spend your winter away from him, promising a return when the flowers bloom again. however, you’ve seemingly plucked the petals out of spring’s first batch of flowers, adamant on staying until your voice would be heard. ♔

♔ SERIES GENRE + WARNINGS: JODHAA AKBAR!AU, royal au, my attempt at something somewhat historical (joon —> king of goguryeo) [ i apologize for any inaccuracies ], angst, ARRANGED MARRIAGE, big cultural differences, sword fighting but make it romantic (if you’re namjoon) [with hints of sexual tension, but it’s a pretty casual fight], eventual smut. ♔

♔ A/N: ITS HERE ITS HERE ITS HERE AAAAAHHH. please enjoy this mess of a period fic i’ve started on. i’m HOOKED on to the concept of king!joon wanting to be a better man for his wife. my biggest hugs and kisses go to @sahmfanficbts​ & @purpletigertaetae​ for beta-ing and giving me amazing pointers and @moononthejoon​ & @sunsetae​ for letting me vomit out excerpts. but seriously i wouldn’t be publishing this if it weren’t for them. ♔

♔ CHAPTER GLOSSARY: ♔

mehendi - alternatively called henna, mehendi is a form of temporary body art originating from the henna plant. mehendi cones are used to create temporary tattoos over the skin. for special occasions in south asian culture, women receive mehendi tattoos. in context of the fic, women also receive abundant amounts of mehendi on their body (specifically the arms and feet) when they’re married. [ visual ]

ghoongat - serves as a veil to cover a woman’s face. a ghoongat coordinates with the colors of one’s clothes as well. most importantly, the main purpose of one is to obscure a woman’s face when she’s in the presence of other men, especially those that aren’t her husband. [ visual ]

lehenga - a type of clothing consisting of a blouse, skirt, and a shawl-like scarf, which doubles up as a ghoongat. [ visual ]

Central Square has never looked so colorful and festive, at least, ever since you left home. Or perhaps, maybe it was you who couldn’t see the color. 

Returning home after the tense compromise with your newly-arranged husband made you realize how unprecedented it was for you to make the trek back to your home kingdom. This wasn’t in the plans, not at all, which was why every nobleman and townsfolk watched wide-eyed as you returned to the soil of the land you were born in with wide eyes. 

“Your Highness, King Namjoon is coming to take you home. In fact, he’s only a few kilometers away. Surely you can not stay in your chambers forever,” one of your handmaidens reminded you. You’d lost count of how many times the same message but in different phrasings were iterated to you in the past fifteen minutes. The more you were reminded of his arrival, the more nostalgic you felt. A stomach-churning, head-twisting nostalgia in remembrance of brief moments that felt like a dream. 

Nothing in the world could mitigate the emotions in Namjoon’s gaze towards you from the first time you met him before the marriage had been confirmed. Something as simple as a gaze seemed to resonate in you for eternities. 

The curiosity in his eyes as you told him your two conditions for marrying him.

The wonder in his eyes as he gazed at patterns upon patterns of mehendi on your arms, seeming losing himself in the elegant swirls and floral designs.

The warmth in his eyes as he lifted your veil on your wedding day. 

The depth in his eyes as you requested your personal space on your wedding night.

The softness in his eyes as he indulged in a filling, delicious lunch, all from your hands. 

The flicker of guilt in his eyes when a misunderstanding led to a devastating hiatus in your relationship.

♔ CHAPTER GLOSSARY: ♔

rajkumari - translates to the daughter of a king/ruler, a princess. 

When a husband woke up from rest, would the first thing on his mind be his wife? Namjoon wondered this as his heavy eyelids were welcomed by the outside world. He usually woke up in an instant, but seemingly struggled at the moment. There was something missing in the room, an answer that his heart came up with before his mind could run the algorithms. 

With a grip rougher than it should’ve been, he lifted the curtain between you two only to be greeted with your absence. 

Such a sight shouldn’t be making him this anxious because this was your kingdom after all. You weren’t putting yourself into danger, nor were you obligated to stay by Namjoon no matter what. What was making him so tense? Making his heart race, his lungs contract, and his fingertips tremble?

Every fiber of Namjoon’s being pushed him out of bed. He barely knew this place which is why he didn’t know where to go, but it had to be somewhere. You couldn’t be too far, because the last time, when you were thousands of miles away, he had nearly driven himself insane while missing you. 

As hurriedly as he wanted to execute everything, he couldn’t help but to slow down just a bit. Why was he moving so quickly when he was simultaneously in awe of everything around him? Did he need to chase after you? Could he leisurely wander the new land his eyes have never seen before? 

A new kingdom, a new land, a new culture. These were your roots, after all.

There was something oddly unique about this particular separation between you and Namjoon. It was far from what the two of you endured earlier, and it made you realize how the past 48 hours seemed to bring such a drastic shift in your life. 

Not too long ago, you were adamant about staying in your home kingdom. You couldn’t bear to look your husband in the eye, disgusted by his previous actions that made you think he had no respect for you. 

Now, you longed for him, in an explicit way you never fathomed yourself committing to. He had to leave so urgently᠆᠆he was here then gone like a brisk breeze. You, on the other hand, were like the naive one who decided to go out into the cold bare, without any sort of protective layers, to feel the breeze from head to toe. 

Because even when that breeze passed, your lack of protection, the layers you shrugged off allowed you to shiver intensely, to feel him everywhere even when he wasn’t there. 

Namjoon’s absence left you perplexed, more than you had been when you first came back home after leaving Goguryeo. Your exterior was changing drastically day by day, trembling and shaking in ways like no other. The tectonic plates of your heart created divergent boundaries that formed a stark gap down in the middle. When you thought you were leaving Goguryeo with venom, you felt the opposite bloom instead.

nathni - a type of nose ring that connects to an earpiece. [ visual ]

khussay - special embroidered shoes. [ visual ]

When it came to times of celebration, Namjoon heavily preferred more minimalistic approaches. Festivals and gatherings were always fun, but he always wondered as a child if the people who ran these festivities ever pondered upon what the new opportunities held whether it was a birthday or a promotion in position. There was much to enjoy during a birthday party, but did one ever consider what the last year had put them through, or did they ever predict what the year ahead of them would hold?  

Namjoon always did.

However, there was a momentous occasion right in front of him. A monumental change he witnessed each and every day after a cloaked stranger had tried to infiltrate his throne room. He woke up to this change, saw the change on the daily, experienced the change through her good and bad days. 

You. Arguably, one of the best things that have ever happened to him. Namjoon was conservative when it came to celebrations, but every time he saw you under his, no, under your shared roof, all he wanted to do was show you off. Call him red-blooded for possessing such a need, but in all honesty, he could paint “hopeless romantic” over his entire body and be satisfied. 

A bulk of the plans to celebrate your official arrival and residence in Goguryeo were done under your nose and behind your back. You couldn’t say much when you noticed Namjoon was spending less time around you than usual because you simply didn’t know what “normal” was. Previously, you barely gave him the light of the day when you first arrived, so how were you supposed to decide how much time alongside you was enough time? 

Yet, the newfound feelings you realized you had for him tugged on your heartstrings a little too much. You knew exactly where he was and with who, but sometimes, the bottoms of your toes would tingle as well as your fingertips, aching and aching to take those first steps, to place a hand at the doors so you could see him again. The connection, the romance, the passion, it was all too strong, a gushing waterfall that exuded nothing short of intimacy represented in different ways.

Namjoon waited for you to place your hand on top of his so the two of you could clasp the book closed together. 

“So…” he started, gaze shifting from the closed book to your eyes, “What did you think?” 

As he asked a question of his own he began answering it in his own mind. He could certainly remember the first day you came to his study with a chosen tome, eyes wide and curious because you wanted nothing more than to read with him. Namjoon could even reminisce when he’d joked about reading before bed together because of the occasional sleepless nights the two of you would face, and you seemed to take him seriously. 

He knew for sure he couldn’t say no to you. The way you shook your head when he suggested to set the book by your bed tonight was all too vivid to him too, especially as you told him you wanted to read it in the library with him so you could familiarize yourself with the literature that shaped your husband, and your kingdom. 

That was what brought the two of you tucked deep in the corners of the palace library every night shoulder to shoulder with bookshelves that were decades old pressing against your backs. You couldn’t complain about the spines of books that pressed against you because you knew Namjoon had to experience it as well, and the slight mutualistic displeasure that came with your chosen spot was what was keeping you from choosing somewhere else.

The two of you would read until one would sense the other was getting tired. No set page limit, but just as soon as you took note of when Namjoon’s eyelids drooped a bit more than usual or vice versa, the book was closed immediately. 

However, tonight was different from other nights because the prospect of being on the last few pages of your chosen book kept the two of you awake. Both you and Namjoon had lost count of how many pages you’d read to finish the book, but you knew based on the plot that everything was coming to an end. 

Namjoon’s question to you was well-fitting, and you were glad he asked because it was something you’ve been thinking about ever since you came to the terms with the book about to end. 

“I enjoyed it thoroughly,” you kept your answer sweet and simple, “I thought a boring exposition would not reel me in but here I am now wishing there was more.”
