"Hello?" Sunghoon answered.

"Oh, hi!" He embraced his girlfriend.

"Hi, love." Jiyeon whispered.

"How was your Coronation? You never talked to me about it."

He shrugged, "pretty cool. We had a big after party in the castle."

"Take any pictures?" She asked.

"I did." He handed her four printed photographs.

"You look so pretty." She smiled.

He chuckled, "I love you."

"I love you." She repeated.

"I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it."

"Don't worry, you had business stuff to take care of." He reassured.

She laid on his bed, staring at his photo collage of them on his wall.

"Something's on your mind." Sunghoon laid beside her.

"What makes you think that?" Jiyeon looked over.

"You zone out a lot when you think about something important." He said.

"We've been together for nearly a year, Yeonnie. I know you."

She smiled widely, "I know you know me, Hoon."

He cupped her face and kissed her lips.

"You're the prettiest girl I've ever met."

"Would you still think that if we broke up?" She giggled.

"Of course I would. You'll always have a special place in my heart." He promised.

She pecked his hand, "you're my favorite boy."

He smiled and nuzzled his face in between her neck crevice.

I have to tell you. She thought.

Just stay with me. He wished.

After a few days of not answering anyone on her phone, Jiyeon finally decided it was time.

"Sorry, I've just been really busy with work." She told everyone.

"What are you going to do?" Yeji asked.

She scribbled her title messily at the bottom of the paper.

"Jiyeon, are you telling him?" Jisoo gasped.

"Yes." Jiyeon nodded, "it's time."

Lia closed her eyes, "calling all allies."

Bells began to chime around the allied nations, startling everyone.

"It's time." Taehyun gasped.

"She's telling him." Huening Kai shot up.

Within 3 minutes, every allied tribe leader had come to the castle.

"You're telling him?" Yeonjun whispered.

"I can't keep lying." Jiyeon said with tears in her eyes, "I can't do it."

Beomgyu wiped her eyes, "it's okay."

She grabbed her letter and dropped the envelope through Chaeryoung's portal.

Sunghoon looked on the floor in front of his throne, noticing the letter.
