KING'S ( Seokhoon X Rona)

10

- Just... Not her okay? Please king.
- If you do not give me the proper answer I don't want to hear you.
- Why? Why are you so obsessed with her?! She is just a servant!
- That servant isn't as annoying as you. She isn't scared of me, and especially she is not scared of you. That servant wanted to have a simple life. But I guess we both ruined her dream to have that life... You think she is just a servant?! For me, she is better than Princess like you.
- Then let her go... She can have the life she wants if you let go.
- Well... I'm sorry for her, but I can't.
- Do you perhaps love her? - Eunbyeol asked.
- Love is a strong word. I don't fell in love that easily and I don't plan to love her especially. But I want her and I won't stop until I have her. So you better find a way to fix it if you don't want to lose your kingdom - Seokhoon said to her and without waiting for her answer left.

Seokhoon didn't know how he ended up in front of Rona's room, he went there without realizing it, he wasn't sure whether to go inside or not as he knew that Rona was mad at him and didn't want to make it worse, however, he couldn't help himself and before he knew he was inside her Room. Rona was lying on the bed, but she couldn't sleep so she noticed when Seokhoon walked in.  The moonlight was lighting up her bedroom so she could clearly see his face.
- What are you doing here?! - Rona asked, Seokhoon didn't answer, he went close to her and sat on her bed. - I asked a question... -  still, no answers, Seokhoon hold her hand and looked at her.
- I understand that you don't believe in me and I'm not going to ask you to trust me. But I will fix it okay? I'll show you that you can trust me. - he said.
- Why?
- I told you... I don't want to lose you so stop thinking of marrying him.
- I'm not stupid... I know that it might cause you a problem. Whether you suggested the marriage or not... now it's late, it can affect your kingdom... - she said, Rona, didn't seem angry anymore, she was calm as she already understood who's plan was it. Seokhoon was surprised to see how she could understand everything, the only reason why Seokhoon couldn't cancel the marriage was because of the partnership, he receives a lot of help from that kingdom and even though his kingdom is powerful he can't lose the partnership. And seeing how Rona understood everything surprised him.
- You don't have to worry about it... That is my job...
- I know... But I'm not worthy of it...  You don't have to fix anything, it was stupid of me to think that I could win against her - Rona answered.
- You want to marry him? - he asked.
- I mean he is powerful, rich, and not ugly... So... - Roma lied.
- I want you to answer me honestly - Seokhoon said to her. Rona took a deep breath and closed her eyes, remembering that day when she saw him in her kingdom... She was still scared, she saw with her own eyes what kind of person he was and knowing that she was about to marry him scared her even more, she found it hard to breathe as she remembered that day, Seokhoon got worried when he saw her in this condition.
- Rona... Breath... - he said to her and hold her both hands. Rona looked at him, she hated to show how scared she was but she could hide it anymore, Seokhoon went closer and hugged her. - Calm down... Rona
- I... I don't want to marry him... Please - Rona mumbled
- It's okay, that's not going to happen - he answered while hugging her.

After a few minutes, Rona calmed down and broke the hug.
- You should go... You need some rest - Rona said.
- I'll stay until you fall asleep - Seokhoon answered.
- No... You should go, I'm okay now - Rona answered. - sorry for the early...
- There is nothing to be sorry about - He answered.
- Thank you... But you should leave now... - Rona said.
- Can I stay?
- What? - she looked at him confused.
- You are still shaking... I don't want to leave you like this... So just let me stay.
- No. If someone sees...
- No one will now. And if they do wouldn't it be better? then you won't have to marry him.
- What? It's not like something will happen between us.
- And how would they know that - Seokhoon said.
- Right... But no, if someone sees you in my Room and tells it to Eunbyeol or Mr.Jang I'm dead. - She answered.
- No one will touch you. I promise. - he said.
- Still, how can I let you stay in my room?
- Says the girl who wanted to marry me. - Seokhoon said.
- Well, I'm not marrying you so leave.
- You will...
- What?
- I accept your offer. - he answered.
- Isn't it too late for that?
- Don't think about the engagement I'll fix everything - he answered. Rona nodded - does this means I can stay?
- If you try to do something I'll cut your head - She agreed as she didn't want to stay alone and Seokhoon also knew that, that was the reason why he wanted to stay... To make her feel safe. Seokhoon smiled and laid down next to her.
- Don't come closer - Rona warned and was about to turn around but Seokhoon hold her.
- Don't do that...
- What?
- I want to look at you, don't turn around.
- We are going to sleep anyway.
- Still, stay like this. - he said.
- Ugh... I don't understand you -  Rona said and stayed on his side, Seokhoon smiled at her, then went close to her and kissed her forehead.
- Sweet dreams Beautiful - he said.
- Good night.

They both fell asleep in few minutes, Rona thought that she would stay up all night however, she somehow felt safe and fall asleep easily. Seokhoon also gets relieved, knowing that Rona knew the truth and she wasn't mad at him. He usually didn't care about others feeling but he didn't want Rona to hate him...

***

In the morning Seokhoon woke up first, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Rona's head resting on his chest, he smiled again and put his hands around her waist, he lowered his head to kiss Rona's forehead.
Rona slowly opened her eyes and when he realized that she was using Seokhoon's chest as her pillow she immediately tried to get up, but Seokhoon's hands that were wrapped around her waist stopped her.
- Just sleep, it's early- Seokhoon said.
- I'm sorry... I don't know how I end up like this. - she said and tried to get up but Seokhoon again stopped him.
- I like it that way... So stay
- I have to work
- 5 minutes... Just stay like this - Seokhoon said and closed his eyes, Rona didn't say anything and put her head back to his chest and closed her eyes.
- Just 5 minutes - she answered.
