They told me that those feelings will eventually fade away.
They encouraged me to let go and forget those memories.
They forced us to part ways.
Why? As a child, I couldn’t understand the reason for their actions. Even as a young adult, who has inherited the family’s business, I still have yet to sympathise with their justifications.
However, as I retire from my childhood, I did understand one thing. My lovely parents, who have been all but understanding, didn’t do what they did for my benefit, but theirs.
What even made it worse was that I was never prepared for the new life that had entered mine. Moments before that, I didn’t have enough time to get over the thought of leaving my home for an unknown world. So of course, being forced to adapt to their lifestyle was harder than they all made it sound but it wasn’t the worst thing that had happened.
I remembered curling into myself in those sleepless nights, terrified by the echoes of the mansion after the maids have dropped me off after my lessons. Though, it was nothing compared to the aching feeling clenching my heart.
Luckily, I knew the reason for it.
I subconsciously lifted my heavy mood at the memory, while sensing how freaked out my servants looked, gaping at me.
However, I didn’t care. The servants have already been informed of their master’s uniqueness, either by the head butler or gossips floating around the city.
Turning my head, I picked up the rusty necklace hanging on the stand, feeling the familiar weight rested on my palm. Grazing over the metal, my heart was filled with longing.
How have you been, N/n?
Despite the unimpressive embedment of the dull rocks, along with the poor excuse of a metal choice, I still find myself admiring every little detail of the pendant. After all, it was the first and only present that I received from them.
Letting out a bitter smile, I shoved the necklace into one of the drawers before drawing my attention back to the servants.
“ Anything interesting?”
Aside from the horrible start, the lessons have made my process to inheritance a lot more accessible, not that taking over the business was difficult. One of the lessons that I resonated most with was the significance of displayed confidence during a conversation. As long as I am confident—even better, arrogant, the conversation shall sway in my direction.
And it seems that the lesson has also affected both my reputation and persona as well. Anyhow, it’s better this way. At least I didn’t have to bother with relatives complaining about me when they knew that I paid them no mind.
However, the younger relatives seemed to not be as educated as the elder ones and like to meddle with my business. At least my life is not tasteless with their presence constantly pestering me.
In some ways, I was thankful that my parents didn’t have other offspring. That would make my goal to become successful more complicated.
Soon, N/n. We would be able to unite again. Maybe, become finances like we had in the past.
Some may ask what is the reason behind my ambition. I necessarily wouldn’t label it as ambition but instead a tool that happened to be within my possession. Of course, I wouldn’t say that out loud and would just dismiss the question with a smile.
Ah, may I also add that one of the few consequences of my lessons was the extreme focus on my own self, and not others? Though, when people questioned my mentality, I too to some extent, agree with them but isn’t it human nature to experience greed in their lifetime? As a result, I figured to experience this feeling in my youth, where I still have the power and energy to deal with whatever mess I have created.
“ A message from the nation of Corea has arrived.”
Perking up in interest, I looked up to stare at the piece of paper placed on the table. “ I heard that Corea had been revolutionized. What was it? The L/N dynasty now,” I said, my tongue not used to the surname.
“ Yes, master. I heard that a group of rebels managed to push down the gates and successfully took over the palace.”
Rolling my eyes, I retorted, “ Of course they did. If they didn’t then they wouldn’t have a chance to enter my earshot.”
“ Yes, of course, master,” the servant hurriedly agreed.
Smirking slightly at his cowered stance, I slowly picked up the letter. “ Such terrible handwriting,” I degraded after scanning through the letter.
I rested my head on my palm, thinking of an outline, “ They want us to trade with their country. A possibility of becoming a vassal to connect the two nations.”
“ What will you do, master?”
Glaring at the servant, I growled, “ Let me think, brat! Youngsters these days!!!...It would be a waste to not partner with such a potential party but their future is uncertain. Who knows if the current Empress/Emperor could even do a decent job. Come to think of it, any particular trait of this person?”
“ I heard that this person has personally executed the previous emperor in front of the previous crown prince.”
I winced, “ Tyrannical.”
“ However, the monarch did allow ministers from the previous dynasty to join their court.”
I scrunch my face, “ Thoughtless! A person this unpredictable can’t be easily meddled with. Whatever, ignore this letter. Mov—”
Scrambling from his spot, the servant shakily interrupted my speech, “ Please rethink, master! Doing that to the imperial family, nevertheless the Empress/Emperor, is considered disrespect. Not only that, it will worsen the bond between two nations! Our business coul—”
“ I get it, I get it. But, don’t you dare to interrupt me again!” I said, making sure to make him understand, “ I’ll write a letter back to them. What’s the current monarch’s name?”
“ M—”
“ I won’t address them by their name, I just want to know for extra precautions,” I tiredly reasoned.
The servant begrudgingly nodded, “ The current Empress/Emperor of Corea is L/N Y/N.”
Jotting down the name, I took a moment to memorize the name. Noticing something was wrong, I tried to look between the lines for a possible answer. The name was oddly similar to… N/n.
Involuntarily gasping at the connection, I grabbed the paper and brought it close to my face to examine the name, making sure that I have not hallucinated.
“ What was their name?”
“ It’s L/N Y/N, master.”
Widening my eyes, I quickly set the paper down before picking up another page, “ Change of mind. We will be accepting this invitation.”
Gasping at the unexpected outcome, all the servants gawked at their master’s busied stance. In their entire career, they have never witnessed a moment of the master taking back his words.
Swiftly scribbling down phrases, I felt my heart speeding up at the thought of meeting them again.
Even if there might be the smallest chance of it being them, I will never let this thread of hope go.
“ When will this letter arrive in Corea?”
Snapping out of his dazed state, the servant clumsily replied, “ If everything goes smoothly, I would say approximately half a month.”
I nodded, finding the answer surprisingly pleasant.
I’ve spent years waiting for them that half a month seems like nothing.
“ We shall depart to Corea a month from now.”

Oooh! I'm excited for the next Utopia series! Question! Did Yoongi have any siblings? If so, did Y/N killed them?
I’m glad that you’re enjoying the series. 😊
Regarding your question, it would be much easier to have multiple siblings considering how large the harem was in the previous dynasty ( and how vicious and competitive it was to gain favour).
The emperor doted on Yoongi because he was of legitimate bloodline between himself and the empress. Meaning that he was the only offspring between the emperor and empress. However, Yoongi did have multiple half-siblings that were killed during the power struggle within the harem.
Aside from his maternal side, Jungkook is his half brother as he’s the late empress’s bastard child.
Hope this answered your question.

I saw the reblog and decided to try! Since I don't know which lines I should pick, You could talk about anything!
Also, Can I be 🌹 Anon?
Thank you, hun. I very much appreciate you directly inboxing me! Love the feeling 🌿 Of course you can be 🌹 anon, any particular reason I wonder 🤔?
Is it just me or the Y/N in Utopia is kinda all over the place??? Like one moment they’re offended and in the next, they’re teasing others. It wasn’t intended but should it stay?
And that cheeky merchant!! Ugh, I really had fun piecing up different elements to create his character. His introduction haven’t truly show his true characteristics yet but I literally have tons of scenarios of how he and Y/N would flirt with each other — worthy opponent of Taehyung if I may say so myself. 🌿
Oh! How about Going outside with them! I just need fluff rn lol
Here are some cotton candy to fulfill your cravings, love. Hope you’re doing fine 😊🌿
HaremAU!
BTS’ Reaction to Going Outside
Warnings: Nothing
Masterlist

Chrysanthemums: this particular flower has been said to symbolise fidelity, optimism, and joy. Aside from their beauty, this is a flower that is long-lasting, low-maintenance and quite affordable.
Kim Taehyung
With his constant attempts to avoid doing anything physical, Taehyung does occasionally enjoys the outside setting.
However, most of his time would be spent bathing in nature’s warmth rather than interacting with others. Just having these little silent yet peaceful moments really replenishes his mental stability. It is also a time where memories of the past would revisit him.
Spending time just enjoying your presence under the sun’s warm gaze, and talking about your guys’ memories really makes Taehyung cherish it even more.
Also, don’t forget to bring Yeontan with you guys. As the proud parent of Yeontan, Taehyung would feel so much pride whenever you play with the little pup.
It reminds him of the family that he can come to whenever he needs them and that there are still people who cares for him.
“ The landscape here is so pretty! How did you find it?... Yeontan! Run with Y/n!”

Kim Namjoon
Whenever you and Namjoon go outside, you both always end up in random bookstores littered throughout the different districts.
Spending your time talking about the manuscripts and writings that you both had previously read as you browse the stores.
Reaching out to grab what had interested you while tuning in to Namjoon’s conversation with the seller about the newly released medical books, you began to take out your wallet, preparing to pay for your guys’ items.
After deciding on what you wanted, you headed to the front of the store and payed for your items. Swiftly snatching the books that Namjoon had wanted, you turned around and exited the store after greeting the seller.
Hopelessly sighing at your attempts to prevent him room destroying the products, Namjoon greeted and thanked the seller before quickly running after you. On to the next store you both go.
“ You don’t need to do that, Y/n. You know I won’t accidentally rip the pages, it’s not possible... you can keep it until we get back.”

Jung Hoseok
Coming from a noble household, Hoseok was surprisingly quite comfortable with the outside world. Maybe it’s his natural ability to befriend anyone or the friendly vibe that he gives off.
Either way, it definitely attracts quite a bit of people, even with him dressed as a commoner. You also noticed that he seemed more relaxed here than in the palace, almost as if he had spent years living here.
Anyways, always pay attention to where he is since he can easily disappear when he gets interested in something. Having experienced it a few times, Hoseok does have some presciences to stay close to you but when he gets excited, all of those get thrown out of the window with him rushing to whatever like an overexcited child.
“ The lady at that stall was so friendly, she even gave me an extra bun! You can have it... gasp, Look! They’re performing something, let’s go over there and see!”

Min Yoongi
The amount of times Yoongi have ever step foot outside of the palace’s walls are in the single digits.
As a child, the vicious adults would constantly feed his curiosity by telling him all the myths involved in the streets, and how dirty it is.
As a result, he was quite hesitant in going out to the streets. However, Yoongi will go out as long as he is with you.
If you both are alone, without any guards or servants to accompany you; the trip will be quite interesting. Like a little child, he’s quite hesitant on venturing out so do expect him to be quite attached to you.
However, as he is in the public, he does have to maintain his little persona. To others, he might just look possessive of his companion, but to you, it was more like an act from an overly dramatic kitten. Though, you will have to make sure to keep that thought to yourself. After all, Yoongi has a reputation to uphold.
“ What is that? ... Food? Is it really edible? Is it safe to eat? Do I want to try? ... W-why a-are you buying them?”

Jeon Jungkook
What originally was him accompanying you changed to you actually accompanying Jungkook. With his mixed bloodline, the streets have always been a pleasure break for him, especially with how hectic and annoying the palace can become.
As a result, Jungkook really enjoyed spending his time out here during his childhood.
However, as he gets older, he found himself getting more involved with the harem, hence not having the time to enjoy these simple things.
As a result, the moment he heard about your little outing, he’ll be sprinting out the door and prepare for the departure.
Dressing in commoner’s clothing reminds him of the peaceful days as a child where he could wander to wherever without getting pestered at.
With the familiar earthy smell of the ground and the loud crowds, Jungkook practically dragged you to every stall positioned on both sides, pushing his way through the crowd while still maintaining that goofy grin.
“ Your maj—, n-no I mean Y/n, do you perhaps enjoy this?... It’s so pretty and delicate!... Let’s go and see why they’re crowding over there!”

Kim Seokjin
Convincing Seokjin to step out of his luxurious carriage is already difficult, but getting him to put away the roll of red fabric is practically impossible.
However, after pulling him out of the carriage, it was already too late to go back. So as a result, have fun with all of his nagging.
Being the rich merchant he is, Seokjin would pull you around pointing at every product while saying a sarcastic comment about their quality, as well as exaggerate his products to you.
With how loud he is, it is expected that every merchant would overhear your guys’ conversation and get offended by him degrading their product.
As a result of his obnoxious behaviour, the entire crew got chased by countless people, barely being able to get back to the palace in one piece. Looks like you will never do this with Seokjin again.
“ The quality of this candle is the worse I’ve ever seen. Mine is way better! Why are they looking at us like that?”

Park Jimin
Despite his not so pleasant view on the outside world, it is the only place where Jimin’s secret low esteem gets replenish whenever he shows off his flirtatious side. Having people falling head over heels for his appearance makes him so giddy that he would do anything to make the most of it.
However, that doesn’t mean that he will completely ignore your presence because you’re his main target! Constant little flirts would be sent your way as you both venture in the streets until you both entered the beauty section.
Completely forgetting his previous intentions, Jimin’s eyes sparkled at the countless jewelry and accessories that were displayed. Practically hopping to every store, Jimin excitedly showed you all the items that had caught his eyes.
Paying for whatever he had picked out, you happily watched his interaction with the seller, glad to see the little innocence he had buried deep inside him.
“ Your— Y/n! Look at what I found! Doesn’t this match my eyes? Quick, come! I just saw this really pretty necklace!”

Sorry I rarely send asks, school has been a jerk. Anywho, Do you like reading comics? Both Online or irl
-🌼 Anon
It’s fine, annonie. I don’t even get asks so yours extra special. School’s been kicking my bottom too ( you doing alright)?
I do read comics — if you count manga, manhua, and manhwa. I also read other types of comics but those three are usually what I find myself into. Generally, I would lean more towards online since it’s more convenient but I do find physical copies nostalgic on its own. How bout you?
