"I'll explain in the car. We have to go." Chaerin said and quickly got in the car
I got in the car and started driving away from the restaurant. I was just gonna go home but seems like this girl really needed a ride. I'm just sure where I am supposed to bring her.
"So, are we gonna go to the mansion of your parents? Or we're gonna go straight to our apartment?"
She sighed, "I can't go to my parents', and I am sure they will look for me in the apartment."
She doesn't want people to find her, anywhere we go. I am not even sure if I am supposed to be doing this. She is in a relationship with Minho, and me doing this will damage my friendship with him.
"I do have a place in mind. Do you want to get some clothes?"
"Yes but we have to hurry." Chaerin said
"Stop worrying. We will leave as soon as possible."
After a few minutes, we have arrived at our apartment. We quickly went to our place and took some clothes we needed. I made sure I locked the door and left with Chaerin.
"Now, what?" she asked
"Just take a rest. Don't worry."
I just drove to Cheonghaehang. I have talked to someone who really can help us travel while we are packing our clothes earlier. I just hope her parents wouldn't look for her and blame me as the suspect for taking their kid away from them.
I looked at Chaerin who is currently sleeping. I stopped the car at the side and made sure her seatbelt is buckled. I also took the pillow at the backseat and put it on her head so she won't bump her head into the window of the car.
After all those, I continued driving to the port.
I wonder what happened that she had to tell me to take her with me. I can't just straightly ask her. I need her to open up without me asking about it.
After almost 4 hours of driving, we have finally arrived at the port. It was the same distance as Seoul to Busan port, but it was a different port. No one knew about this place except for those who have private islands.
"Chaerin. We're here."
She woke up and seems to be still sleepy, "Sorry. I fell asleep."
"Let's go."
We both got out of the car and saw Chungho waiting at the port.
"Your highness." Chungho called as he saw me and bowed to me
"Good evening. Is the yacht ready?"
"Yes, your highness. People are waiting in the island too. They are expecting you there." Chungho said
"Thank you. By the way, this is Ahn Chaerin. She is my guest."
"Good evening." Chaerin greeted with a smile and bowed
After all the greetings, we rode the yacht with Chungho and another trusted person, then boarded after a few minutes. There are people who will take care of my car and hide it from my parents.
I went inside to put our things we brought with us, and fixed her an area to sleep at. It will take us another 3-4 hours before we arrive the island. She needs to rest too.

I went to the sun deck and found Chaerin sitting there while looking at the sea. I badly wanna ask her but it's not my place to ask. I sat there with her and didn't ask about it.
"Aren't you gonna ask where we are going?"
She looked at me and shook her head, "I'll go with you anywhere."
"Really? You're going with me even if I bring you inside the volcano full of lava?"
"Yes." she answered
I just chuckled. Fuck. I wanna ask her.
"Why are you in that restaurant?" she asked
"I was having a dinner with my family and another clan."
"Me too. It was my first dinner with my parents and I thought it was some simple dinner but we had guests." Chaerin said and sighed
"Minho and Sujin?"
"Sujin is basically part of the family before I even met them. Minho, yes." Chaerin
"What's the matter? You seem okay with him being invited."
"I am really happy that he was there but you know I have never had a dinner with royal family before. What I thought was a simple dinner became a gathering about business." Chaerin
"What? Your parents?"
"And another clan." she said
Is she in the same situation as I am?
"Luckily, Minho is there. He told me to leave before I even hear the rest of the conversation. He basically saved me. That's when I met you outside." Chaerin
"So, you were told to leave before you even find out what is happening?"
"Yes. I just thought it was some serious matter. I panicked and just wanted to leave the place." she said
"I see."
"How about you? What happened? Are you leaving the place after knowing what is happening? Or is the dinner done?" she asked
"I left after knowing."
"What happened?" Chaerin
"Like I told you, I was having dinner with another clan and my parents. I am not clueless with what's happening but I don't dare ask them about it. I just waited for myself to confirm what's happening."
