Destined [PARK SUNGHOON]

15

"You have a playground?!" Natalia said happily as they explored more about Sunghoon's hidden haven. He had his dad build him this secret place near their garden only he know how to access. It was a mini park filled with everything a child wants.  A playground, toys, and a swimming pool Sungoon cleaned and maintained by himself. "How come you never told me about this?" Natalia asked.

"You never asked." Sunghoon said, arranging the picnic they wanted to set up. He smiled, watching her run around the place like a little kid.

The two agreed on having a picnic, to relax themselves before the annual exchange. Time passed by quicker, Sunghoon noticed. They said time passes by if you're having fun. He glanced to meet her laughter. Sunghoon nodded, finally agreeing with that phrase.

"Hoon! Push me." Natalia called his attention as she sat on the swing. Fixing her dress and her hair as she did so.

Sunghoon patted his hands after he placed the mat. He stood up and made his way towards the swing.

"I know it's just the two of us but careful about the dress." He said, warning Natalia about the fact that it could lift up as he pushed her on the swing. Nataloa nodded and placed the skirt in between her thighs.

She wore a white sundress with some sunglasses. Sunghoon wore comfortable white top with some cargo shorts. All they wanted was to relax for the day.

Natalia closed her eyes, feeling the air breeze as she swung. It wasn't that fast and wasn't that slow at the same time. It was the perfect rhythm..

After swinging for a while, they made their way to eat their picnic.

"How did you prepare this?" Sunghoon asked.

Once Natalia heard of Sunghoon's request to have a picnic, she took matters to her own hands and prepared their meals herself. She's always wanted a picnic date but never had the chance to. Her heart fluttered as she stared at her husband who was arranging their plates.

Natalia would never know that the same thoughts were running on Sunghoon's mind as he observed her filled with happiness.

"It was simple. Mom taught me how to cook because she always said that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Atleast, that's how she charmed dad."

Sunghoon bit into the gimbap she made. Face scrunching in delight and immediately nodding. "I wholeheartedly agree with that." He smiled, pecking her cheek.

Natalia nodded and also went to grab something for herself to eat.

"What usually happens during the annual exchange? I know it was already explained but it wasn't the most detailed explanation." She asked.

"Well, the chosen students gets to participate on several other activities. Whether it be sports, mind games, and others. Did your mom and dad allow you to go? We're travelling to another country after all."

Natalia nodded. "Yeah. I told them that Sana was also chosen so it was okay."

"Isn't it funny how all of us got chosen?" Sunghoon asked.

"I highly doubt that king Yoongi planned all of this."

"I can neither deny or confirm that."

They continued eating the snacks Natalia prepared. Watching the way the leaves fell alongside some flower petals. The way butterflies flew around them. As well as some birds and dragonflies.

"If we weren't living in the castle. What would be your dream house?" Sunghoon asked, breaking the comfortable silence.

Natalia took a moment to think before answering. "I would love to have a house near the beach with a stable on the side and a playground like this one. Also with a garden. Probably not my dream house, more like a dream vacation house. I love living in the castle."
