Lost In Her Eyes | Book 3 |

3rd person POV

They are both sleeping in Felix's room in the rest house. After the surprise last night, they both had their dinner and slept early as they are planning to go to another island near Haneuldo.

Chaerin woke up as she heard people talking outside their room, she saw Felix beside her, sleeping peacefully. She just kissed his cheeks and stood up, and did her morning routine as usual.

As she came out of the room she found familiar faces in the living room-

"Your majesty." she called and bowed to the King Jacob and Queen Freya sitting on the couch

Her heart started beating so fast as she saw the royal couple. She never expected them to be there as no one knew about their whereabouts except the residents of Haneuldo.

"Ryu Chaerin." King Jacob called

She didn't talk nor she looked at them.

"We don't want this become bigger. I know something is going on between you and Felix. We would like to have a conversation with you." King Jacob said

"Yes, your majesty." Chaerin answered and sat on the couch, facing the royal couple

No one is talking. There is an awkward atmosphere between Chaerin and the royal couple. Maybe because there is something that should happen even if they don't want to.

"Felix is in an arranged marriage with the daughter of the Song clan, Aina." King Jacob said

She didn't respond.

"I am assuming that you are aware of that. Anyway, everyone knows how marriage works within the royals. Although you are a royal, I can't let you marry Felix. He should marry someone from a second most royal clan." King Jacob

"Believe us or not, we want you for Felix, but we have to maintain our image. The Song clan belongs to a group where they decide if they should allow something or not. Our clan leads this country and we should be a model and follow the rule." Queen Freya said as she looked at her

Chaerin closed her eyes as she doesn't know what to do. She knew this day would come. The day she has to let go Felix, whether she is a royal or not. They are not destined for each other.

"I understand, your majesty. Thank you for telling me." Chaerin said and bowed

"There's another favor we would like you to do." King Jacob said

Chaerin nodded.

"No matter what happens, push Felix away." King Jacob

That froze her.

Sujin have arrived Haneuldo using a private yacht from the Ryu clan. He was told to pick up Chaerin before Felix even find out that she is living him, before he even stop her.  

"Chaerin." Sujin called as he saw her standing from
the mini port

Chaerin gave him a smile.

"We have to go." he told her

She nodded, and looked at Yunho and the chief.

"Do you really have to leave? Do you really have to do this? Felix would fight for you. He would do everything to be with you." Chief said

"I have to." she answered

Yunho felt how heavy it is for Chaerin to leave Felix without saying goodbye, "I'll take care of him. Don't worry. He will be fine. His parents are here. I'm sure they will make him understand."

"Thank you. I have to go." Chaerin said and hugged him

She looked at the royal couple who are standing from afar, she bowed to them, and left Haneuldo with Sujin. The moment they left the island, Chaerin bursted out crying.

That made Sujin feel guilty. He felt like he is the one to blame as he joined Minho to make Chaerin and Felix talk and spend time together. If he stopped the plan, would this even happen?

Chaerin entered the bathroom of the yacht, while Sujin waited outside. He knew Chaerin needed to cry it all out. However, Sujin doesn't know that Chaerin and Felix already built a relationship during their stay.

Sujin stayed there for almost an hour, waiting for Chaerin to come out. Then a few minutes after, she came out of the bathroom.

"I have something to tell you." Sujin said

She looked at him and wiped her tears.

"There was no marriage between you and Minho. It was all a plan so you and Felix could spend time with each other. We knew you are with Felix the whole time. Felix doesn't know about, not until you guys arrived in Haneuldo. That's when we told him." Sujin confessed

Chaerin smiled and nodded, "Are you sorry?"

"Yes. I feel like I should've stopped the plan. I knew this would happen-" Sujin

"Why are you sorry? I have never felt so happy. I don't even regret going to that island. Even I, I knew this would happen. I already saw this coming, but I chose to be happy. I chose to be with him." Chaerin said

"What the chief said is actually true. If you chose to stay with Felix, he would've fought for you. He would do everything just to be with you." Sujin

"That's not going to be easy. I'd rather let him go than make things harder for him and make him suffer. I'm not worth fighting for-" Chaerin

"What? Felix would not stay in that island with you if you are not worth it. He could've let you go from the start." Sujin

She silently cried.
