"I have to go." my dad said.

"No you can't! You are still hurt and can get killed!" I yelled.

"Chaeyeon-"

"No, we can figure out something, but don't go!" I said.

"I'm sorry Chaeyeon, but I have to go." he said and took his armor and sword from the closet.

"But you can die! You're still hurt I don't-" I was trying to reason with him and started tearing up, but my grandma took my hand and walked me to our garden.

"He can't go!" I yelled in tears.

"Chaeyeon, honey, you have to understand that your father is very prideful that he would die for this country. He knows what he's getting into." she said.

"B-but I don't want him to." I said.

"You can't control this, though." she said, stood up using her cane, and went back inside. I stayed out here for a while until an idea came into my mind. I can take this into my control. I can pretend to be a boy.

I sneakily went back inside and grabbed my dad's sword, armor, and scroll. I decided that to do this, I need to cut my hair. I won't cut too much, but just enough so that I look like a boy who grew out his hair and could tie it up in a bun. 

I got everything on the list and packed them in a bag. I slept for a few hours until it was 4:00 am. I took my horse, and wrote a letter.

I placed the note on the dining table and started riding to the camp.

I woke up to hear mom scream. I rushed downstairs with Chaemin and asked, "What happened?!"

"Chaeyeon! She-she went in place of your father......." mom said and I went wide eyed. I grabbed the letter from her. I read through it and started tearing up.

"We can't do anything, but hope she'll stay safe now." dad said as we all got in a group hug.

"Wait, where's Chaeri?" Chaemin asked.

"I put him in one of the baskets of Chaeyeon's horse." grandma said calmly.

"You knew?!" mom yelled.
