Hyungwon

"Hyungwon, have you packed everything in your luggage?" Kihyun asked me as he walked past my room, and makes his way in. "Where is your luggage, may I ask?"

"There is no luggage, there is only me and we are only going there to get Sana back to us." He smacked me on the head. "Isn't that the exact intention of our trip to Osaka?"

"You still need clothes, it is going to be cold in Osaka and you need winter clothes to keep yourself calm and we will be there for about 3 days so there will be a lot of clothes that we would have to bring and that is why you need a luggage for this trip." He said to me. "Where is your luggage? Let me help you pack it since we only have 2 hours left."

It has been a little over 2 weeks and I am finally able to get a passport and travel outside of South Korea, I thought that I would never need a passport and I would just be contented travelling around the country, there isn't anywhere that I want to go to and I thought I would be stuck here in Gwangju my whole life. And then a certain Japanese girl posed as a Korean girl came into my life and changed my life around and now I would have to go to Osaka to get her back.

"Where is your luggage?" He asked me. "Don't tell me that you didn't even buy luggage in the last 2 weeks, how clueless about travelling overseas can you even get?" I nodded my head and he let out a huge sigh and got one of his spare luggage and stuffed all of my clothes that I have into it and we were ready for the airport where he asked me for my passport and I gave it to him, not understanding why he wants it.

"Based on my understanding, you are just going to lose it as soon as we get out of here. It took you 2 weeks to get it and I don't want you to lose it and miss the wedding." He said to me and we made it to the airport, checked ourselves in and we were ready to take the flight which travels a little over 7 hours and we arrived at night where we missed the beautiful scenery but I am not here for a holiday, I am here to get my girl back.

It would have been so much easier if she was a local and she lived in Seoul or something but she just has to come from another country and it is not like she is a regular citizen, she is like the freaking heiress of the Minatozaki corporation also known as the influential business empire, her position in Osaka is so high and I couldn't believe that we met each other.

If I didn't have to get a side job at the hotel that day, I wouldn't have met Minatozaki Sana that day because I met her and I said something so ridiculous to her, thinking that she would just brush it aside and think of me as a mere peasant but she took it as life advice and she made the run out of the Minatozaki empire that very day and gave up on her position for a second chance in her life as the person that she wanted to live as.

And I am so thankful that I was the one who saved her that day where I found her in Gwangju waters and she survived, resulting in her to lay in bed for the next 6 months, where she would later pretend to get out of the hospital without anyone finding out that she is the Minatozaki princess. If I hadn't found her, she will never have had the chance to live the life that she never knew that she was lacking and she enjoyed being the person that she created from scratch just so that she was able to run away from her father who has been trying to track her down for the longest time.

She thought that her father wouldn't come for her because it was too long and her father would have come for her if he really needed her but she also prepared herself for the tiny bit of chance that her father would come for her and he did come to Gwangju a few weeks ago, knocked the shit out of me and dragged his daughter back to Osaka without a word.

I was trying to search for her but she was nowhere to be found and then the news of her getting married came up on the news that it is announced that Sana would get married to the crown prince of the Japanese empire which means that she will become a princess for real. While I am just Chae Hyungwon without having 10 million won in my bank account...

I wanted to go to her immediately but I was hit back by the harsh reality that she lives in a different country and I don't have a passport, meaning that it would take a while for me to get my passport and we booked a flight 2 days before the wedding so that we can recover from our jet lag to be gatecrashing the wedding in tip-top condition.

Sana might not know that I am here to get her back but I know that she has been waiting for me to get her, she must have been so terrified to marry someone that she didn't want to marry and she would be married in royalty meaning that she will never have the chance to be herself. All she wants is freedom and it is an easy thing for many people to achieve but for her, she had to jump into the ocean and drifted to Gwangju and she had to live under a different name to get freedom and I am going to get her freedom back, and she will never be locked up again.
