he'd still love her then

Hoseok looked towards the home he lived and worked in, hesitant to leave. It wasn't time yet, but his mission failed, forcing him to return earlier than expected.

He came here to carry out a task given by his leader. He hoped to finish it and return as soon as possible. The mission was the only thing on his mind when he entered the residence. But he never expected to form genuine bonds with the servants, the family, and their daughter.

Before he knew it, they appointed him as her bodyguard. Ever since then, their relationship developed into something more. Love blossomed between them and they tried to keep it a secret. But once they discovered that he was a spy sent from the enemy, their love was no longer hidden.

Her words echoed in his mind. She didn't want to believe that he was their enemy. She begged him to tell her that none of it was true. He'd be lying if he admitted that and this was the last thing he could do for her. No matter what anyone said, he loved her. If she no longer loved him after this, it was okay with him. It was expected, after all.

He continued to look at the home, hoping to see her for one last time. But with the approaching sounds of horses and the voices of the guards, he couldn't wait any longer. He took in the view of the residence, before galloping off into the forest's darkness.

If they were to meet again, he'd still love her then.
