Sungchan POV

I was with my brother, who was teaching me about different ways to handle requests and solve problems about the kingdom.

A guard rushes in the room with a scroll in hand.

"Your Highness, you might want to see this." He says passing the scroll to me.

Unwrapping the ribbon, I open the paper and lay it on the table, the contents truly shock me.

"No Way!" I whisper under my breath.

Reading the lines over and over again, I stand up and address my brother, "hyung, please excuse me."
With a bow, I rush out of the palace into the woods, where Hyejins house was situated.

Continously knocking the door and shouting her name, I kept fidgeting nervously, but no one opened the door.

The next place I could think of was the bar, I saw her in the other day.

Running back into town, I barge into the bar and run up to the counter.

"Your Highness, how may we be of your assistance?" The shorter male asks.

"Where's Hyejin?" I ask out of breath.

"She left, your highness." The other one replies.

"Ugh, how long ago?"

"You won't be able to reach her now, she must've already gone halfway."

"Did-did you know about this?" I ask.

"Ofcourse your highness, she's like a younger sister to us." The shorter male replies.

"I-i see. Thank you anyway."

Sulking, I leave the bar and drag myself back to the palace. Climbing up to my room, I plop down on my bed, looking up at the ceiling.

Many thoughts and questions rushed through my head, but I didn't have answers to any of them.

I wish I had held on to her while I could.

A/n: the end is nearing. I wanted to write more, but not many people seem to like it, so I'm ending it. 💙💛
