THE PRINCE (Ryeji fanfiction)

CHAPTER 18

Ryu is currently lying on Yuna's bed, playing a game on his phone, while the younger girl paints another painting silently.

"Ryu..." Yuna spins around to face him. "what do you think about Kai?"

Ryu looks up at her.

*flashback*

Arriving at the bar, Ryu already see Yuna and Kai waiting outside. He noticed that Yuna is wearing Kai's jacket. Ryu gets out of the car and walk towards them.

"you can go, Kai. Thank you." Ryu extends his arm to Yuna. She takes off the jacket and walk towards his embrace.

"see you at school, Yuna." Kai smiles at her. he then bows a bit to Ryu before going back in.

"did they smoke?" Ryu smells her hair then furrows his eyebrows.

Yuna smells her own clothes and hair. They do smell like smoke.

"no... people around our seat did." Yuna purses her lips.

"okay."

*end*

Ryu looks back at his phone.

"I think he's okay."

"what if he asked me to be his girlfriend?" Yuna slides closer to the bed.

"then he has to go through me." Ryu lowers his phone again. "do you like him?"

"I'm not sure." Yuna lowers her head.

"give it time. I need to know him too." Ryu somehow has a feeling about him. "hanging out at a place like last night is already a bad impression. Especially when you're a girl."

"but there are other girls too. basically, Kai's friends' girlfriends." Yuna explained.

"the chance that he just use you for his pride are quite high." Ryu sits up. "I'm not saying that it's certain but it can be true. I just want you to think it through."

"hm..." Yuna moves to sit beside Ryu, pushing him aside to make some space for herself. "they're fun to be around. I kinda like them."

"good to hear." Ryu smiles at her. "I'll go get ready."

"are you going on a date?" Yuna wiggles her eyebrows.

"it's a dinner." Ryu sighs.

"last time you had one it became a news."

"should I cancel, then?" Ryu lowers his head. he knows it's a bad idea but he's already attracted to her. as long as she didn't make any rumors like his last one, it's gonna be fine, right?

"let me see her." Yuna leans on Ryu, shoulder to shoulder.

Ryu easily shows her.

"oh god. is she real?" Yuna leans in even closer towards Ryu while showing Heejin's photo. "you should really go."

"I know that you'll say that. let's hope that nothing bad happens."

"don't forget you have a schedule tomorrow, sir." Wonpil drops him off in front of a hotel.

"alright. I'll give you a call." Ryu wears her mask and gets out of the car. he's just wearing casual clothes to avoid any suspicions.

Ryu enters the elevator and goes to the floor where Heejin's at with the help of her guard's access card. he's already waiting in front of the elevator.

Getting in to a luxury hotel is obviously not a big deal for him. he's used to the environment.

Pressing the bell, Ryu is soon greeted by Heejin in a blood red night gown complete with the robe. She smiles at him and lead him inside the suite.

Ryu noticed that a table for two, a meal, and a small candle already prepared. They both sits down and stares at each other. He clears his throat and takes off his mask. Aside from that, the view of the busy city can be seen.

"you're a bit early." Heejin starts. "can't wait?" she takes out a bottle of red wine, unscrew the cork and pours both of them a drink.

"I suppose this is the proper time for a dinner." Ryu holds the glass and swirls it. Heejin too, follows.

"cheers." Heejin held up the glass and take a sip. Well, more like a shot. "you dress so casual for a dinner."

"I have to make it less... flashy." Ryu sips another drink from his glass.

"you have nothing to worry about." Heejin straightens her pose. "shall we eat?"

"after you." Ryu smiles politely.

They both starts to enjoy their high quality medium rare steak quietly. At some point, Ryu take a glance at Heejin, still admiring her beauty. Seems like she's wearing a light make up but it's still the same as the time she wore a full-on professional make up work.

Finishing his last bite, Ryu wipes his lips with the prepared napkin. Heejin is not done yet, though. He patiently waits, pouring himself a drink and continues stealing a glance at Heejin.

Heejin ends her meal elegantly, placing her utensils in a certain way. Just like Ryu, she wipes her lips and also finishes her drink. She pours another glass of wine then stands up.

"suit yourself." Heejin walks towards the bar area.

Ryu takes a big gulp to finish his wine and proceeds to follow Heejin.

"bring the wine too."

Ryu walks back to the table and bring the bottle with him. he approaches Heejin, standing beside her.

"what are you making?" Ryu sees another bottle that seems to be a whiskey.

Heejin just shoves the glass towards him. she too, holds another glass of the same kind.

"cheers?" Ryu clinks the glass and takes a shot. He knows that he's not supposed to drink it like that but he might as well just go all in. he's not that innocent after all.

"I see you're friends with alcohol." Heejin smirks, standing closer to him.

"wine, yes. I don't know about this." Ryu looks down at her.

"you will find out tonight."
