We didn't chat much maybe because of an invisible distance in between us. Not that he's far away from me. He's just walking right in front of me but however, the voidness from that night, the peck from that night, the care and warmth from that night just don't get off my mind.

What if General Jung had found us a bit late? I questioned myself.

General Jung always knows when I'm upto something. Damn.

But then again, I hit my hand slowly trying to stop thinking shit. Y/n. You don't even belong here. I said to myself but that was useless.

I suddenly stopped as we passed the familiar place we stopped earlier. I noticed the Hornbills beautifully sitting there pecking each other

I sighed at my own thoughts of confusion

"Prince Taehyung" i called him with no hesitation. I don't know why i am doing this. But something in me wants to know. Wants to know what would have happened if no one found us that night. Would it have made any difference?

He immediately turned and hummed in response. I wasn't sure what to ask. I wasn't even sure if I should ask. That's not a part of my plan. I don't even know if i like him. And I don't even know if he likes me. Damn this is so confusing.

"Lady Hui?" He broke my thoughts and looked at me with concern

"Did you.. did you find who is behind that person who tried to kill you?"

Originally that wasn't going to be my question but I didn't have much choice. It's not like even if we like each other it's gonna last. I would rather just watch you being happy and healthy until i leave you Prince Taehyung.

"Yes. That's why I hurried back that night. But he wouldn't speak the truth yet" he explained briefly and looked at the hornbills for I don't know why

I smiled in a relief that at least they found that person but however a weight is formed in my chest. Heavier than before.

I exhaled the lump out of my chest and looked at the hornbills too.

After a brief, non-awkward silence between us suddenly Prince Taehyung spoke

"Lady Hui" he called for me still looking at those birds. I immediately looked back at him in response, waiting for him to speak.


"Can i be your hornbill?"

He said and with that my heart fell down to my stomach. I felt knots in my stomach along with butterflies. My whole body tingled and i have never felt this way before

I looked down to hide my pink tinted face when he turned and faced me

"Prince Taehyung i-"

"Shh" he cut me off by pressing his index finger on my lips making me want to curl up into a ball

"You don't have to answer right now" he said as he took back his hand

No word seems to fill my mouth as i kept staring at his perfectly looking handsome face

"If you keep looking at me like that it would be hard for me Lady Hui" he had that smirking smile on his fave clearly mocking me.

He held my right hand and kissed the back of my palm with a wide grin. That same spot.

He turned back continuing to walk but I finally gathered the courage and spoke. I don't want to deceive him or others. What i am now is not permanent and i know that better. I know I can't take things further even if I myself crave for it
