Hwarang (ON HOLD; UNDER EDITING)

Maek Jong pulled up his mask as they saw a village's entrance.

"Jagi, wear your mask now, we're going inside this village"

"Wait- 'jagi'?", she said.

"Yes, it means-"

"I know what that means. But...why?", she cut him off.

"I thought I told you earlier? You're my future wife", he smirked.

Su-Jin just rolled her eyes and put her mask and hooded coat on.
They entered the village swiftly, not being suspected by anyone for wearing masks and different clothing.

Hmm, I guess the people are busy with their own work, Su-Jin mentally commented as she noticed that the people were not attending any attention to her and Maek Jong.

"Still, be careful, you never know...", Maek Jong leaned in and whispered in her ear. Feeling his breath close to her made her blush.

Thank goodness I'm wearing my mask and coat, she mentally sighed in relief, wait- why am I blushing?

Just then, a shout snapped her out of her trance;

"Hey! Watch where you're going will you!?", a random guy screamed.

"Oh- I am very sorry", she apologized, the man shrugged and walked away.

"Jagi, are you alright?", Maek Jong asked.

"W-what? Y-yes of course. Why?", she stuttered, it even sounded like she was convincing herself.

Maek Jong hesitated but remained silent and nodded. He didn't believe Su-Jin, he knew she wasn't alright.

Once they exited the village, they were greeted by another forest immediately and went inside.

They got in for a few seconds when Maek Jong stopped and looked at her.

"Stop.", he told her. Su-Jin stopped and turned her head to look at him.

"What?"

"I said, stop"

"Why?"

"Get off your horse"

"Wh-"

"Get off, Su-Jin"

Su-Jin then did what she was told and got off her horse. Maek Jong did the same.

"Go over to that tree and sit for a while", he said while pointing at a nearby tree.

What is he up to?, she asked herself as she walked over to the tree and sat down and looked at Maek Jong.

Maek Jong walked towards her and squatted down in front of her.

"What are you doing?", she asked as he raised his hand over to her forehead. He remained silent and cupped her cheek with his hand and said, "You're sick, Su-Jin. Your body temperature is hotter than it should be".

"Wa-what? I'm sick?", she asked (a/n: wew enbelibeble).

"Yes jagi", he replied. "We can rest first until you're better", he added and sat next to her.

He made Su-Jin lean onto him and he wrapped his arm around Su-Jin's shoulder. Su-Jin fell asleep soon enough and Maek Jong watched her (a/n: that's creepy, maek jong).

His heartbeat increased as he stared at her beauty;

"Who are you? Why do I feel this way?", he said quietly, frustrated about his feelings for the princess.
