My Romeo {English version}

•°F o r t y S i x°•

• Narrated by Jun •

Eunji pulls me like an excited little child when he goes to buy a toy.  She takes me through the park, deflecting people skillfully as if dancing a waltz.  We stopped in front of the roller coaster, the smaller one turns to face me, a smile from ear to ear.

— We will!  Please!  — she says putting her hands together as if to plead.  I take my hand to her hair and stroke it.

— We will!

I walk over to the woman who operates the toy and hand over the tokens.  She nods allowing our entrance, Eunji goes up first and sits in the corner then I take the seat next to her.  I pull the iron rod down and hold us, more people take their places and the toy gets crowded, after a minute it starts to move.  We start to climb and then I notice how high and steep the curves are.  Slowly the cart goes up, it stops at the top before descending at full speed and making the turns.  Everyone screams, some out of fear, others out of enthusiasm.

°°°

After the roller coaster ride, we went to the bang bang cart, terror-themed toys, others that defy height and gravity.  I think we went to most of the toys in the park, Eunji is extremely happy and from her countenance I can see how much she loves my company.  Her finger ring sparkles in the sunlight alongside her smile as she eats her pink cotton candy.  My heart is heavy with my conscience as soon as I remember that I will have to marry Kim Nari.  Part of me fights for me to tell her but a bigger part forces me to keep silent, I don't know what her reaction will be if she knows and I fear it will be the worst of the possible reactions.  I don't want to disappoint you, I love you and I don't want to have to leave that relationship.  I want to marry her without having to worry about the rivalry of our kingdoms, I want to be able to love her in peace.

— Jun!  — I wake up from my thoughts when I hear her voice calling me.

— Hmm?  — I say confused.

— Are you too thoughtful, did something happen at the palace?  — she asks with a worried face.  I cast my best smile to reassure her.

— Nothing happened, my love.  Do not worry!

— Assurance?

— Yes my dear.

— Okay, then .... Eat your cotton candy.  — She says pointing to the sweet rose in my hand, then I start to eat it.  Eunji starts to observe the landscape around us, the view of the city from inside the pastel-colored cabins of the ferris wheel is really breathtaking.

I quickly finish eating the candy, get up and follow to the girl who watches the movement below us.  I hug her from behind and put a brief seal on her cheek and neck, she looks at me deeply and I feel guilty again for not being able to escape the arranged marriage they put me in.  In her eyes there is a sparkle of purity, gentleness, in her eyes I see the part that completes me, I see the various reasons for which I fell in love.  Deep in her eyes I see a galaxy, I see the world I belong to, I see everything I don't want to lose, I see my happiness.  Each trace of it is a piece of what completes me, it is a fragment of what keeps me alive inside, it is what gives me strength to face everything.  Seo Eunji is my safe haven.

— I love you! — I say, my voice little more than a whisper.  A smile takes my lips as a wide smile appears on her face.

— I love you too!  — After that statement my smile grows, I take my hand to the nape of her neck and pull her for a calm but deep kiss.  Our lips have perfect synchronization, it is as if they were made for each other.  We are forced to end the kiss because of shortness of breath.
