You sighed after accomplishing what your father have given to you. You roamed your drowsy eyes to the pile of woods that you just arranged in the corner a while ago.

With the use of your back hand that was tinted with coal you wiped off the droplets that streamed in your forehead. Another sigh escaped on you.

For the whole day, you work and work. You only got minutes for your rest and after, work again. Being poor is hard sure it is and you don't have a choice but to endure it inorder to survive.

When you got satisfied by the sight you turn your back against it but someone halted you.

A warm, soft hand approached your lips making it hard for you to speak.

"Hmmm....!" You reacted.

"It is me, my lady." He inform and just like that your lips automatically formed a cute smile.

You felt his hands around your waist and soon it is his chin who landed on your shoulder.

"How is your day my handsome prince?" You asked still wearing the uneresable smile.

"Nothing special." He responded, "How about you?"

You then loosen his grip and face him, "As usual your highness."

"Haven't you forget that I do not want you to address me in that kind of greetings my lady?" He reminded and piss is written in him.

You let out a soft giggle and pinch his pale skin. "I haven't Jeon Wonwoo."

A sweet smile escaped from him the moment you call him in his real name. Gentlely, he held your hand and squeeze it a bit.

"I have to show you something." He spoke and take you somewhere.

"So now tell me how did you escaped from those scary palace guard?" You inquired while putting yourself to sit down the grass.

"I'm Jeon Wonwoo, my lady haven't you forget it?" He answered quite proud.

You chuckled in response.

"You see that?" He asked pointing the stars above.

"Hmm..." You answered and watch how those stars twinkle in a far away.

"That is your constellation sign."

Caressed forehead you tilt your head to him then to his rising arm that was still pointing the stars above.

He connect the stars by drawing in an invisible line and stop after. "Beautiful isn't it?" He spoke tilting his head to you.

You smiled and nodded, "How did you find out about that?" You inquired.

"In the library, I have been reading different kinds of story about stars."

"I envy you." You chuckled.

"Don't be my lady. You are more enviable than you could think of."

He draw near at you and let you have his shoulder as your pillow. The two of you watch the scenery that you often enjoy when time has given to you to be with each other.

"Y/n... Let's run away." He spoke after along silence.

You distance yourself and looked at him.

"Wonwoo... His highness... You knew they won't let us."

"No, they will. No one can----"

"You see those stars above?" You halted him.

"Those stars are written there forever." You paused and tilt your head to him, "Just what we are now, Wonwoo."
