15 princes and a princess 49

I opened the door to my bedroom and searched for my laptop. Having found it on top of the chest of drawers, I pulled it onto my lap and switched it on.

I waited as it loaded and then opened up skype. I searched through my contact list and silently cheered when I saw that Myst was online. I pressed the call button and hoped she picked up quickly because I needed to talk to her.

beep... beep... beep...

"Hello?" A cracked voice came through my speakers, a heavy voice that sounded like it had just been, maybe even still was, crying.

Myst's face appeared on my screen and a pain wracked over my heart. Her eyes were puffy and red, a box of tissues by her side and an oversized fluffy dressing gown wrapped around her, just about covering her purple pajamas.

"Oh, Myst, Honey.... Is this about Henry?" I asked, concern heavy in my tone. At the mention of his name she sucked in a breath and then whimpered before nodding.

"I love him Rayn! I love him so much! I just.... How can we be together if we're always apart?" She wept. I sighed and signaled that I would be right back before putting the laptop on my bed and leaving the room. I sought out Henry and then dragged him into my room, ignoring the bemused looks the guys were giving me.

"Rayn, what are you doing?!" He whined and I hushed him, passing the laptop to him so he could see for himself. He gasped at what he saw and Myst covered her face.

"Look away, I'm hideous!" She squeaked, putting a hand over the camera. Henry sighed and pulled the laptop closer to him.

"I've been crying too, Myst. I don't care how you look, because I love you." He admitted, his breathing hitching as Myst moved her hand again. Her eyes had turned glassy as she stared directly at us, chewing on her bottom lip. "Aww, Myst, please don't cry over me.... Don't cry at all, I don't like seeing you so upset." He said softly as tears rolled over her strawberry red cheeks.

"I love you too Henry!" She cried, patting her eyes with a tissue. Henry's face lit up, to say the least. He grinned down the camera lense and then took a deep breath.

"Myst, I know the distance is hard but.... I love you and I don't want to stop being with you! I'll get skype so we can talk lots, whenever we can, we can visit each other.... We can do this Myst." He said, determination bright in his eyes. I smiled at how much they loved each other, it was beautiful. I decided to give them at least a little privacy and took a change of clothes to the bathroom.

I stripped out of my conference clothes, and slipped into a light blue, puffy skirt and a white, long sleeved t-shirt. My hair had curled beautifully this morning, long ringlets cascaded to my waist. I used see-through lipgloss, black eyeliner and mascara and a soft pink blush before tugging on knee-length white socks and pale blue flats. A few days after I announced I was staying in Korea forever, my ex-manager Sandra had sent over all my clothes and all my things. Most of it was still in boxes in the corner of my room, waiting to be sorted.

As I re-entered my bedroom, I found Henry lying on his stomach, propping his head up in his hands still chatting to Myst so I just picked up my phone, my purse and my keycard before shoving them in my slouchy, blue handbag, picking up my white hoody and heading into the living room. Yesung was looking at something in his hands but when he noticed me he pushed it into his pocket, I frowned but ignored it for the most part. I was about to sit down on the sofa when Yesung lifted me into a bridal carry.

"Why hello there handsome." I teased, kissing him on the cheek lightly. "You've completely whisked me off my feet." I laughed lightly, tilting my head back and letting my hair fly as he spun me around in circles. I giggled happily, hugging myself closer to him and closed my eyes until he slowed down and allowed my feet to return to the floor.
