Lost In Her Eyes | Book 3 |

36

3rd person's POV (sorry another 3rd.)

The gathering started with a dinner together with the residents. It's a tradition whenever a royal family member visits the island. There would be a gathering for the residents where they would have fun and eat together. It happens once in a while.

During dinner, Felix is taking care of Chaerin and offering her different food. He even serves her whenever he thinks that she needs another. With them so busy with each other, some residents are watching them and feel so happy to witness it.

"Where did you guys meet?" an elderly asked them which made them Chaerin froze

"Let's say we knew each other already." Felix answered

"And you guys realized you have feelings for each other?" another resident teased them

"Actually, she fell first but I fell harder." Felix answered casually

"Ten years from now, where do you guys see each other?" the elder woman asked again

"I see us married with two kids living in the palace or wherever she wanted to live but I prefer living near the sea." Felix answered

Chaerin's heart started beating so fast and tears wanted to escape her eyes but she is trying her best not to. She doesn't want to ruin the moment she has with them.

Married.

With two kids.

Living near the sea.

It was the same words Felix said in her dream. The same plans she heard from the man in her dreams. It's making her more crazy now that she is in love with the same man she is in love in her dreams.

She is scared. That the dream might happen.

"Are you gonna take over the throne before you guys get married?" another resident asked

"If I were to ask, I will take over. It's probably okay with Chaerin now that she is a royal and there's nothing can stop us now." Felix

Maybe not.

Felix from her dream doesn't want to take over and wanted to live with Chaerin, and have an ordinary life. It's so different from the real Felix she is with, now.

"May I get everyone's attention?" Chief said

We all looked at him.

"Thank you. I would like to take this chance and thank our Prince Felix for visiting us with Princess Chaerin. It's been months since a royal family member visited us and being gathered here once again. Prince Felix now owns Haneuldo and he is doing his best to make this place a paradise for us. Without him and his hard work, we wouldn't be surviving now. Thank you, your highness. We will make sure that you have our support with everything you do." Chief said and bowed to Felix

"Why are you crying, Dad?" Yunho teased his Father

"I'm not. You talk next." Chief said

"No!" Yunho

"Yunho! Yunho! Yunho!" everyone cheered in unison

Yunho can't do anything and stood up, "Well, I have nothing to say here. I'll just give a message to Prince Felix and Princess Chaerin. Someone told me that a man's sincerity can't be compared to anything else. Your sincerity towards Chaerin is enough for us to tell that you are willing to do and fight for her. I know like other people, start will be so rough but in the end, you guys will get what you deserve-"

"Why don't you get girlfriend?" Chief teased

"Dad! I'm trying here." Yunho said

"Sorry." Chief laughed so hard

"Anyway, I'm just saying I know Felix would he so ready to face the storm just to be with you. I have known him for years, he either would sacrifice or fight. It's one of the two. I hope your love for each other will grow more and more. If ever you guys got what you deserve, don't let it go. Keep holding onto each other." Yunho ended his speech and everyone clapped their hands

"Next is our Prince Felix." another resident suggested

Felix chuckled.

"You should do it." Chaerin told him

"Fine." he stood up

Everyone clapped their hands and cheered for him.

"Haneuldo has been my second home. A place to be relax and feel peace, while I am being surrounded by the kindest and friendly residents. Thank you everyone for being here." Felix said and bowed

"A message for Chaerin!" Yunho suggested

Everyone agreed to Yunho.

"Okay. I know our first meeting was so unexpected and that was so memorable for me. The moment I laid my eyes on you, that's when I knew. I like you. It wasn't easy as you became distant with me but I didn't care. I like you and there's nothing that can stop me. I did everything I can to be close with you again, well it worked. We became closer than before and that's when I decided to pursue you." Felix said

Chaerin looked away.

"Yunho is right. Things will be rough in the start but I am more than willing to fight for you. I will keep on fighting for us. That's how much I love you. You don't have to do anything, just stay with me." he added

Everyone started clapping so hard and kept cheering for him. Felix bowed, while Chaerin is holding back her tears. She doesn't want to cry but-

"Excuse me. I'll use the bathroom." Chaerin said and went inside the rest house

Felix noticed something is wrong.

"You should follow her." Yunho whispered to Felix

He hurriedly went inside and found Chaerin crying in the kitchen, "What happened? Are you okay?"

"Felix, we can't be together." she cried

Felix held her hands, "We can. Just stay with me. I will do the rest. You just need to stay with me."

"What about them?" she asked

"This is about us, Chaerin." he whispered and hugged her

"I don't know what to do." she whispered

"You don't have to do anything. Just stay with me. Choose me."
