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

- Chapter 45: (Denial)

- 3RD POV:

'I'm stuck with her again...', Ga-On thinks, although this time, he doesn't seem to be annoyed by it.

"How do we stay out of sight? There are so many people walking around.", Haeun asks him as she focuses on the task Hyun gave her.

Haeun quickly rushes them closer to the wall and further back as they were at a spot where they could be seen.

Ga-On is amused by this as he realizes his back is facing the wall.

"Aren't I supposed to be hiding?", Ga-On asks Haeun as he looks down at her.

"What do you mean? You are...", Haeun asks, clearly confused as she looks up at him.

Ga-On then looks around them.

"Really? You're in front of me, but you're not even blocking my face.", Ga-On replies in an amused tone, implying how much taller he is than Haeun.

"W-Well I'm blocking some of you at least!", Haeun replies, not amused.

"Shouldn't it be like this?", Ga-On adds as he switches places with Haeun, pinning her against the wall.

Haeun widens her eyes out of shock as she doesn't even try to make eye contact with Ga-On.

"What's wrong?", Ga-On asks as he tilts his head playfully to look into Haeun's eyes, only for her to avert his attempt as Ga-On chuckles in response.

"You know, doesn't this seem familiar? It's exactly like the last time we hid, remember?", Ga-On asks Haeun with a chuckle as a blush appears on her cheeks as she remembers the last time this happened.

"Y-Yeah, it is, isn't it.", Haeun replies with a nervous laugh as she slowly looks up at Ga-On.

Ga-On then leans forward, creating less space between him and Haeun as Haeun's eyes widen.

"There's something I've been curious about...", Ga-On starts to say as Haeun looks at him confused.

"Tell me, what happened that night that I was drunk? Did I do something to you?", Ga-On asks Haeun as he wants to know if his dream about kissing Haeun on the forehead was actually real as he's had his doubts about it.

"N-Nothing happened...", A flustered Haeun replies, not expecting him to ask her about that night.

"You're not lying, right?", Ga-On asks her as she quickly nods her head.

Ga-On sighs out of relief.

'Thank gosh, that was just a dream. If it were real... I'd have to kill her before it becomes more than that. I can't let myself ruin my own plans, especially if it's because of her.', Ga-On thinks as he makes himself deny any feelings he has.

"Your Highness, there you are.", Hyeong-Seol says as he shows up beside Ga-On, glaring at him while Ga-On moves away from Haeun.

"You were looking for me?", Haeun asks Hyeong-Seol.

"Yes, Your Highness. I am still investigating the assassin from the Royal Hunt.", Hyeong-Seol replies as Haeun looks at him confused.
