Diana's POV

I was walking over to my room from the kitchen when I overheard Dad talking to one of his henchmen.

"Soojin, I am going out for three days to handle a dealing with a group. Take care of the mafia for me, will you?" I heard my Dad say to the male. Soojin was my Dad's right hand. He used to do all his work in his absence and let's say, he was exactly as cruel and cold like Dad.

"Sure sir." He said, giving a sharp nod. Dad patted his shoulder and started walking towards the door. I quickly turned the other way around, pretending I didn't hear anything.

"Diana I am going out for a few days so don't be a trouble to Soojin." He said, stopping beside me, not making an eye contact.

I hummed in response and and went away, without saying anything. Internally, I was almost dancing with joy as I would get more time to get out of this house and get fresh air.

I quickly went into the training room and grabbed a bow, a quiver full of arrows and some short hand combat knife, which I slid in my boots effortlessly. I quickly opened the window and jumped out, closing it behind and I went out of the perimeter of my house, jumping over a broken wall at the corner where no guards were there, to the forest.

My dad didn't allow me to train much so I went into the forest to practice, avoiding the training room which we had. When Yeonjun was there, he used to train me at our place, advanced training at the forest as Dad didn't allow him to train me those tricks and moves, which he taught him. Later when he left, my dad told me I don't have to train anymore. He never believed in me and underestimated me, thinking I can do nothing with all the training I will get.

I walked on, as I scoffed at that idea.

I tied my hair up into a messy ponytail, few strands of hair still falling out. I chose a dead tree, about eighty meters away from me for my archery practice.

I tried shooting three arrows at a time. After a few tries, I got it right. Satisfied by the accomplishment, I kept on shooting arrows till my quiver was empty. As I was going to shoot the last set of arrows, I suddenly heard a rustling noise.

I quickly turned around, facing the direction from where the noise had come.

"Who's there?" I asked, my bow ready to shoot. Suddenly, behind a bush, I saw a yellow headed man stand up. My shoulders fell, as my grip loosened on my bow, which resulted it in falling on the ground while I stared at that man in shock.

"Junie..." I said, my voice barely a whisper. I quickly ran to him, hugging him with all my might. He laughed, as he held me up. I was so happy that I didn't realise that tears of joy were streaming down my cheeks.

"There, there. I'm back now. Don't cry." He said, keeping me down, a smile running on his lips.

"Bitch." I said, wiping my tears and punching his shoulder lightly. "After one year?! You didn't even contact me." I said, throwing glares at the man who stood in front of me.

"I had been busy." He said, shrugging his shoulders, as he tried to look innocent. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Yeah, right. Busy to even contact your sister." I said, pushing his lightly away from me, slightly mad at him. He chuckled at my behaviour, while poking my cheek.

"Come on. Admit already that you missed me." Yeonjun said, smirking, but I could see tears glistening his beautiful brown eyes. I let out a small chuckle, sniffling.

"Shut up." I said, wiping my tears. He pulled me back into a hug again, resting his head on my shoulder. I could feel my t-shirt getting drenched in his tears.

"I missed you so much. You don't know how much I thought of you." He said, his voice muffled as he buried his face in my shoulder.

"I missed you too. Not every day went by when I didn't worry about you." I said, rubbing his back lightly to calm him down. "Also," I said, pulling away. "When did you change your hair color?" I asked, tilting my head. This question made him smile, making him run his fingers through his hair.

"Long back. To make myself a bit un-recognisable." He said, nodding. "You like it?" He asked, smiling, as he looked at me for a response.

"Your head looks like a lemon. I shall name thy Lemonjun." I said, stifling a laugh, as I patted his shoulder playfully. Yeonjun pouted at this comment, furrowing his eyebrows, making me burst out laughing at his expression. "I was joking. You look pretty handsome for a change." I said, ruffling his hair.

"Woman, I am already handsome. I get pretty ladies fall on their knees for me." He said, smirking, a smug look on his face. My eyes widened at his comment.

"What did you do this one year- did you have-" I was going to say more when Yeonjun slammed his hand on my mouth, forbiding me to complete my sentence.

"Yah! You are three years younger than me. Mind your language. And no I did not." He said, glaring at me as he slowly removed his hand from my mouth.

"Oh. Still virgin, eh?" I smirked. Yeonjun eyes widened as I said this. I took my cue and started running away from him, with him on my heels.

"Where did you learn all this from?!" He shouted, as he continued to chase me.

"Junie, I'm twenty one already! Expect me to know these things!" I said, laughing.

"No. You are still a small kid to me." He said while grabbing me, as he tackled me to the ground and started tickling me. I burst out laughing so hard that it made my sides hurt.

"Fine, fine. Stop. I won't speak like that." I said, as I panted for breath, chuckles still leaving my mouth.

"You better." He said, smiling as he got up.

"You are here, during the day. Does that mean dad is out again?" He asked, as he helped me get up by lending me his hand. I took it, getting on my feet while nodding to his question.

"By the way, where were you all this time?" I asked him, looking at him curiously.
