A Princess Story

Another Goodbye

I end up not going back to the party because I wasn't in the mood anymore. I know I'll get in trouble by my parents but after seeing Ryujin leave, I just didn't feel like mingling.

After the party, the gang comes to visit me for two reasons. One, to inform me that my dad wants to speak to me tomorrow and two, to find out what happened.

"What happened, Princess? You just left without a word?" Lia ask.

I sit up on my bed, "I met my mystery kisser. She came because she wanted to see me."

"Really?? How did she know you were a Princess?" Chaeryeong ask.

"She heard my name when you called me then I guess it was announced to the kingdom about the party" I sigh.

"Then why are you sad? You found her" Lia ask, sounding confuse.

"Because she's leaving. She's going back to her home kingdom. I won't see her again" I lay back down, feeling depressed.

"But I at least got her name" I cover myself with a blanket.

"What is it?" Lia ask.

"Ryujin" I say then someone removes my blanket.

"What did you say?" Yuna is standing over me with the blanket still in her hand. I look down and I see she's shaking.

"What did you say her name is?" Yuna ask again.

"Yuna, calm down. It could just be same name" Chaeryeong says to Yuna.

"What's going on?" Lia ask.

"Do you know this Ryujin the princess is talking about?" Karina ask.

"Did she say her surname?" Yuna ask, still staring at me.

"S–shin" I stutter because I have no clue what's going on right now.

Yuna runs out of my room and Chaeryeong follows. "Do any of you know what's up with those two?" Lia ask.

"No" I get up from the bed and chase after them.

"Princess! Wait!" I hear Lia call for me but I ignore her.

I catch up to them at the courtyard. Yuna is frantically looking around while Chaeryeong is trying to calm her down.

"Yuna, she's probably not here anymore. The party ended a while ago" Chaeryeong says.

"I need to see her. Who knows if I'll ever see her again" Yuna says.

"Who are you two talking about?" Lia ask once she arrives.

"My sister" Yuna exhales.

"Ryujin is your sister?" I ask.

"She's the person you've been looking for? Ryujin, my mystery kisser, is your sister?" I ask.

"To be fair, she was Yuna's sister first before she became your mystery kisser" Lia comments and I glare at her. Why does she make unnecessary comments like this?

"Will you stop talking about me? My ears are burning" Ryujin walks out somewhere.

"Ryujin!" Yuna runs to her sister and engulfs her into a hug.

"You and Chaeryeong need to do a better job at guarding this place. It's not even a challenge for me to get around" Ryujin chuckles as she hugs Yuna back.

I'm in too much of a shock right now to process what's happening. Ryujin is still here and she's Yuna's sister.

They pull away from each other and Ryujin looks at Chaeryeong now, "Don't I get a hug, honey?"
