- Rona, you look so beautiful- Seokkyung said once she saw her in beautiful white dress.
- do I?
- of course... My brother is going to melt when he sees you!
- Stop! I'm blushing.
- I was just saying the fact though. anyways only teou hour left Rona... and you will be the Queen.
- Queen... I never wanted that title.
- It won't be easy. but you got this Rona! I believe in you.
- Thank you, Princess Seokkyung... for everything.
- Just call me Seokkyung. Rona I'm really happy that my brother finally found someone with whom he can be happy so it's me who should be thankful.
- You are an amazing sister Seokkyung.
- Thank you. Rona take care of my brother okay?  He is strong but he needs love... So don't break his heart okay? I don't want him to go back to his old self.
- I won't. I will always stay by his side...
- Thank you. - Seokkyung answered, then they heard a knock at the door.
- Who is it? - Seokkyung asked.
- It's me - They heard Seokhoon's voice.
- Hey, you can't see the bride yet.
- Let her in Seokkyung. It's only two hours - Rona said.
- Okay. Come in - Seokkyung agreed allowing Seokhoon to come inside.

Seokhoon froze... He has never seen anything more beautiful than Rona in a white wedding dress... Her hair was half tied up, her dress was beautiful... Everything was Perfect, Rona looked dazzling and mesmerizing. Seokhoon just knew that it was the happiest day in his life.

- I think he forgot how to speak - Seokkyung whispered to Rona -  Anyways since you are here I'll go and put on my dress, stay until I'm back - Seokkyung said to her brother and left.

- Rona... You look breathtaking - Seokhoon finally spoke and went close to her.
- Thank You Seokhoon.
- Thank you for accepting my offer.
- All I want is to be with you... - Rona hold his hand and smiled.
- in less than two hours you will be my wife... no one will be able to stop us from being together- he said.
- Thank you Seokhoon for choosing me. I don't know why you chose me over a princess but thank you.
- I would always choose you, Rona. No one is like you... Forget all titles today and think of me as an ordinary person who is lucky enough to marry such an amazing girl - he said and smiled.
- And that girl is lucky to find someone as special as you. - she answered, Seokhoon went closer to her and kissed her forehead.
- See you at the wedding beautiful. - he said. - I'll go now.

- Rona... Only 30 minutes left, I'll go and meet you there - Seokkyung said.
- Okay, Seokkyung.
- Come out of the room in 15 minutes
- Okay.

Rona walked out from her room, she was smiling all her way... Was this it? Could she finally be happy?

- Where do you think you are going? - she heard a voice behind her, making her stop walking, she turned her head to see Eunbyeol.
- What are you doing here? - she asked.
- You can't marry him!
- I will and you can't stop me!
- Oh, I will!
- Ha Eunbyeol You lost to me! - Rona said and turned her back, but Eunbyeol grabbed her and dragged her outside.

- What the hell Ha Eunbyeol! Let go of me! - Rona yelled and removed her hands.
- I'm warning you! Give up now! You can leave the Kingdom and have the life you always wanted! Leave now!
- I don't want to! I will never leave Seokhoon! I'm going to marry him and you can't even stop me! - Rona yelled.

- why she is late Seokkyung? - Seokhoon asked as Rona was late for 15 minutes.
- Every bride is late for the wedding - Seokkyung calmed her brother.
- Are you sure?
- I'll send Jenny to check her okay? - Seokkyung said and went to Jenny.

10 minutes later

- I went to her room and even checked your room princess Seokkyung. she isn't there - Jenny said to them.
- what do you mean she isn't there?! - Seokhoon raised his voice as he started to get nervous
- Brother calm down. I'll go and look for her.
- No. I'll go - Seokhoon said and was about to leave when the door opened, Seokhoon felt relieved as he thought that Rona came, but his expression changed into confusion and anger when he saw Ha Eunbyeol in a wedding dress.
- What are you doing here? - Seokhoon went close to the other and grabbed her hand.
- I wanted to check if everything is alright - Eunbyeol answered. - Stop glaring everyone is looking at us.
- King, what is happening? - Suryeon asked walking behind Eunbyeol along with Cheon Seojin.
- Where is Rona? - he asked Eunbyeol, ignoring his mother.
- what are you talking about? I haven't seen her!- Eunbyeol answered.
- Stop lying! tell me! - Seokhoon yelled at her, everyone's attention were on them, but Seokhoon didn't care, he could only think about Rona now.
- Son calm down. I don't know what is happening but let's discuss it after the wedding. everyone is looking at us. - Suryeon tried to calm Seokhoon
- Wedding? - Seokhoon scoffed - there won't be any wedding without her! - he added

- King... - Suddenly Minhyuk walked in, he was covered in blood. - Rona... - his voice was shacking, he couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence
- What happened to her? Where is Rona now?! - Seokhoon started to get scared.
- She... She... Outside - Minhyuk couldn't say anything more, Seokhoon didn't ask anything either and ran outside.

Seokhoon's POV

I ran fast outside, but I froze in one place as I saw Rona laying down the stairs, my whole body was shaking, I close my eyes for a second hoping that it would be a bad dream... But the horrible scene in front of me didn't change...
I slowly started to walk toward her, I could hear people rushing outside and screaming but nothing mattered...
I slowly kneel down and touched Rona's waist slowly... I took a deep breath... I could feel her warmth... She was still here.
I slowly turned her body and touched the hair that was covering her face.
- Rona... - I mumbled slowly - Open your eyes okay? - I couldn't do nothing but beg, I could feel tears rolling down to my face.

- Call the doctor - I could heart Seokkyung's words.

- Rona.... You will be fine... Don't worry... You... You will be okay - I was mumbling, I wanted to believe... Believe the word I was saying... I wanted to believe that She's not gone. She'll open her eyes in a second... She is going to be alright... I hugged her tightly, even though I didn't want to believe I could feel that her body wasn't as warm as before...
No! No! It's not right... Why? Why are you here? It can not leave me like this Rona... We were supposed to marry today... I wanted to make you happy... I wanted to live a long happy life with you but why? Why are you unconscious? Why can't I hear your heartbeat properly? Why can't I see the beautiful smile on your face? Why can't I see your eyes looking at me wide open? Why are you starting to get cold Rona? You are scaring me, Rona... You can't leave...we couldn't even say it to each other... I didn't say how much I love you, Rona...

- Seokhoon let the doctor check her - Seokkyung came close to me, I slowly let go of her and let the doctor check her. I was looking at the doctor, hoping he would say something good... Even a little hope... Just a little hope... Please...
- I... I can not hear the heartbeat... - Doctor looked at me.

No! This isn't happening... She wouldn't leave like this... She promised that she would stay right next to... It doesn't make a scene... it's all my fault I shouldn't have left her... I should have been with her, What am I without her?

Author's POV

" Seokhoon I'm sorry... I didn't want to leave you... I thought I could be happy with you but I only brought pain to you. I'm really sorry... And sorry I'm late to say that I love you." Rona wanted to say it.. wanted to say her last words to him... But she couldn't.

The two wanted to say "I Love you" to each other, they never got a chance say it before... but without those words they still knew... knew how much they loved each other... and the grief the felt that day was the price they had to pay for Love.
