After Midnight | VerKwan ✓

Chapter 18

Back in the story again, I looked around. I noticed Soonyoung who ran towards me.

"Soonyoung? You okay?" I asked him carefully.

"Yeah..." he whispered. "I am, but now listen! We have no time. You must go! NOW!"

"But where?"

Soonyoung pointed with his thumb somewhere behind me.

I turned around and then I noticed the stableman who waved to me. I turned back, but Soonyoung was gone. I frowned. What's going on?

I quickly went to the stableman. He pushed me in the corner and looked around. Something was wrong. I was sure about that. "The prince is coming," he said almost inaudibly. "Stay here," he added.

I nodded and crouched down a little. I had to admit I was a little bit curious about who was the mysterious prince. I haven't seen him before.

After a while, I finally could see him. My heart skipped one beat. He- He was so beautiful- How!? What was wrong with me? I have wondered what his nature was. Everyone was saying he was different from his father. Was it true though? I crouched down a little bit more and listen to them.

I didn't hear them well, I just heard the prince's name - Seungkwan. Such a beautiful name. I slapped myself quietly for these thoughts.

As the prince left, I sighed in relief and lifted up slowly. The stableman came over to me and smiled. He still hasn't told me his name. It was a bit frustrating. "What was he saying?"

"He just asked me if I would prepare a horse for him," he answered simply. "Please, hide somewhere. He can't see you."

I nodded. I've felt a little bit sad. Perhaps I just wanted the prince to see me. But why? I had no idea what the prince would do if he saw me. I turned around and quickly walked away. I had to find a place to hide.

I went around the corner and watched the prince approach with the other boy behind him. I think it was just his servant. I shrugged and kept watching him. I couldn't help myself. He was just beautiful. How could be his father such an evil king!? I think he would be a better king than his father. I smiled for myself. He couldn't be the same as his father. I hid quickly. After a while, Seungkwan and his servant rode around me on their horses. They didn't notice me. Then I got up and turned to the boy who walked towards me together with Soonyoung? I raised my eyebrow and waited.

"Soonyoung? Where have you been?"

He glared around and then smiled at me. He looked as though a child. I couldn't imagine the king executing him. He was too innocent for this world... the same Jisoo in the human world...

"Nowhere," Soonyoung muttered and looked at the other boy who was standing beside him.

"You have to go back to your world," the boy said suddenly.

I nodded. "Yeah... And you didn't tell me your name at all."

"Lee Seokmin."

I woke up and sat up on my bed. I ruffled the hair with my hand. I felt exhausted and a bit lost. I had no idea what was going on around me, even so, I still wanted to go back to the book. I've still thought about him. About the prince. It was the only thing that remained in my head. I couldn't stop thinking about him at all. He messed my head a lot. I quickly shook my head slapped myself again. STOP! HANSOL! YOU CANNOT THINK ABOUT HIM! HE'S A PRINCE AND LOOK AT YOURSELF! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?

Heyyoo <33
How have you been, y'all?
I'm sorry for not being more active. I'm preparing other books while writing this one. It's a little hard. However, I love writing my stories. It's fun. Writing my books is an escape from reality for me, hehe. :D
And I also wanted to say that I enjoy writing the story and I hope you do too!
