Fate Of The Tally [Kim Ga-On - "The King's Affection" FF]

- Chapter 15: (Under The Beautiful Flower Tree)

- 3RD POV:

"Oh, I guess Bok-dong found them!", Haeun says as she watches Bok-dong, Dam-i, and Hyun walk towards her and Ga-On.

"Do you have any idea how worried I was? How could you run off like that?!", Bok-dong asks Dam-i frantically.

"Let me ask you something. Why weren't you by His Royal Highness' side to protect him?", Hyun says sternly to Bok-dong.

"Well, I just uh...", Bok-dong says as he tries to come up with an excuse.

"Sorry, my Lord.", Ga-On quickly says as he bows to Hyun.

"Uh...", Bok-dong says as Hyun winks at Dam-i.

"Weren't you the one who led Hwi out?", Haeun quickly adds as she sees Hyun wink at Dam-i.

"What are you talking about, Haeun?", Dam-i replies as her and Hyun start to laugh, making Haeun roll her eyes in defeat.

'If course they won't say they ran away without me...', Haeun thinks as she scoffs.

- TIME SKIP: [LATER THAT DAY]

- 3RD POV:

Soon, it became dark as the group started to head back to the Palace.

"I wish you weren't so close to me.", Dam-i says as Bok-dong walks closely by her.

"Well, I don't know if you'll run off again.", Bok-dong replies.

"Were at the Palace gates, where could I possibly go?", Dam-i adds as Haeun and Hyun chuckle.

As they walk further, Hwi snickers and looks back at Bok-dong and Ga-On as she glares at them, making them look down.

She then clears her throat as she walks ahead of them with Hyun and Haeun as she chuckles and sighs.

"I was blessed with y'alls company today.", Jaeun says to Dam-i and Haeun as they reach the Palace gates.

"Nonsense. Thanks to you, I had a great time for once.", Dam-i replies.

"Yeah, I haven't been outside the Palace before! I had so much fun! Thank you so much Hyun!", Haeun adds happily.

"Oh, I suspect you will have more use for it. When the time arrives and a special someone steals your heart, you should give it to them.", Dam-i says as she gives back a rung that Hyun gave to her while they were away from Bok-dong, Ga-On, and Haeun.

Hyun takes the ring back as a confused Haeun looks at Dam-i and Hyun.

"Goodnight.", Dam-i says with a chuckle as she turns around and leaves as Bok-dong and Ga-On follow her.

"Ugh, I can't believe it. Where were you earlier though?", Bok-dong asks Dam-i.

"Can we please drop it?", Dam-i asks as Bok-dong groans.

"I looked for you everywhere, seriously. If you knew how worried I was...", Bok-dong says.

"Oh, silence.", Dam-i replies as Haeun and Hyun watch them leave.

Haeun notices Hyun gripping the ring that Dam-i gave back to Hyun as he realizes that she is still there.

"Oh, Haeun... What are you still doing here?", Hyun asks.
