CHAE ESTATE

Both Kwangji & Yoosu nervously approached Sir. Chae.

"S-sir?"

"It's about time you two showed up! Wait, where's my son?! I thought I told the two of you to fetch him from his room?!"

"We did! We went to his room but..." Yoosu gulped before he could finish his sentence.

"BUT WHAT?!"

"He's not in his room?... s-sir?" Kwangji said but Sir. Chae's eyes widened and before they knew it, he started walking away from the guests and ran towards the house. Lady Chae, Kwangji & Yoosu as well as the parents of Hoseok & Minhyuk followed him.

Sir. Chae quickly went to the second floor and kicked open the door of Hyungwon's room! He looked inside and indeed, his son wasn't there!

Kwangji & Yoosu caught up with him first but they backed off as soon as Sir. Chae turned around.

"Did you check the other rooms?!"

"Y-yes sir! The other servants are doing it now as we speak!" answered Kwangji.

"They didn't find him or Hyunwoo or Hoseok and even Minhyuk too!" answered Yoosu.

"Oh dear..." Lady Chae exclaimed but in her mind, she had an idea into where Hyungwon and his friends might've went to.

"Aish! My foolish son has disappeared too?!" Mr. Shin asked angrily.

"When he gets home, his bed will be his grave!" Minhyuk's father angrily exclaimed.

"CHAE HYUNGWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!"


YOUR POV

"Um... yeah, I am..." he replied.

"I thought so... Can you... let me stand now? I don't think it'll be appropriate for us to continue in this situation..."

"Eh?... Ah! Of course! I'm sorry!"

Hyungwon helped me to stand up while holding my hand.

"I'm fine now, thank you."

"Of course... I mean, you're welcome... Your..."

I smiled. "Look, I know about your own investiture ceremony earlier at your place. Don't bother calling me Your Royal Highness."

"I see... Congratulations though... Wait, why did I say that?"

"Hahaha! Shouldn't you be saying that term is for you instead? Hahahaha!"I told him while laughing.

"Yeah, something like that... Hahaha!"

An awkward silence suddenly descended.

"Um... you look very pretty in what you're wearing..." He suddenly told me.

"R-really? Thanks... You look handsome in your attire too. I figure that's what your parents had you wear for your party tonight at your place?"

"Yeah but, how did you know?"

"Hyungwon, after events like that ceremony earlier, there's bound to be an accompanying party in the night."

"Oh right, I should've saw that coming... Jeez, I was planning to just sleep tonight you know..."

"Then, what are you doing here?"

"Um... I guess I can't hide it but, my friends suggested..."

"To crash my ball here, am I right?"
