Soo-ho charmingly smiled at the girls that were staring at him with love struck eyes. He chuckled, as he could hear his friends bicker and joke behind him.

He spots one girl in the crowd and winked, causing said girl to squeal loudly to her friends.

One of Soo-ho's friends laughed, "Will you ever get tired of playing around? There's already so much girls you fooled with that charm of yours"

"I'll stop as soon as there are no more girls in Silla.  They are all way to beautiful to ignore, my friend. One must pluck these flowers as soon as they bloom" He gives a mischievous smirk to his friends, laughing as they playfully slapped his back.

"I can't wait for the day that you'll finally found someone who is your match" one of his friends said, raising an eyebrow.

"Someone who won't fall for your charms" another adds in.

"Someone who'll be so different from all of the girls in Silla" one adds in, slingin an arm around Soo-ho who laughed wholeheartedly.

"Trust me, when I find that girl," he smiled warmly, looking at the ground. "I'll never let her go"

He looks towards the group of girls at the side of the street and smirked, "But for now, let me enjoy playing with the beautiful flowers that are in front of me"

Soo-ho and his friends laughed as they walked towards the busy streets of Silla.

As a loyal servant of the Queen, Seok Eun-ha was patrolling the city of Silla, looking for any possible accidents or unusual activities by the citizens, but so far so good, as the city of Silla are behaving quite well as the day progresses. Looking up at the sun covered in clouds, she lets out a soft sigh of relief as her body relaxes for a second, but was disturbed when she heard a loud cry of help.

Seok Eun-ha was fast as she catches the little girl from falling off a wooden ladder, she lets out a grunt before putting the little girl on the ground safely. With her eyes shining in concern, she asked the little girl, "Does anything hurt? Are you okay?"

The little girl can only shake her head as an indication that she was not hurt, and she wraps her chubby arms around the older girl's neck, giving her a grateful hug before running away.

The older girl straighten out her posture, before continuing her patrol around the village. Eun-ha was uncertain whether or not she'll have lunch right now. With her right hand softly rubbing her growling stomach, she let her eyes wander around, searching for the nearest food stall or restaurant that will satisfy her hunger.

"Annyeong, miss! Would you like to try a new dish from our today's menu?"

With that being said, the loyal servant of the Queen let her feet lead her inside the restaurant, and sit near the window, where she can enjoy the breeze of the wind, while continuing her patrol, even when she's eating.

As she devours a tray of mochi, she suddenly caught sight a group of young men that passed by the restaurant she was currently residing in.

Soo-ho laughed as his friends continued to joke around. His head was thrown back as his melodic laughter echoed through the streets.

The girls that were watching sighed dreamily as they gaze back at the brown haired boy.

Soo-ho's head turned to the side, lips still formed into a smile. His eyes scanned through the interior of the restaurant that they were passing by, and saw the most beautiful girl he has ever laid eyes on. His breath got caught up and all he could focus on was the girl's eyes that was looking back at him.

Eun-ha can only look at the boy with an unwavering gaze, then going back on devouring her last moist mochi, before she stands up and payed for her meal.

"Hey, isn't that girl beautiful?" one of Soo-ho's friends muttered. Soo-ho's jaw locked as he took noticed one of his friend's love struck eyes.

"She's mine" Soo-ho effortlessly said, making their friends groan in annoyance.

"Oh come on, you always get the girls!" one of them said.

"This one is different" Soo-ho licked his lips slowly as he watched the girl slowly stand up from her table, "I'm going to go talk to her"

With that, the boy confidently entered the restaurant while his friends followed him inside. They were unsure and afraid of what might happen to their friend, feeling that this seemed far more different from the girls Soo-ho tried to court before.

Either way, that did not stop the said boy from walking towards her.

Bowing down at the owner of the restaurant, Eun-ha was quite surprised as soon as she stood up straight, as her eyes was once again locked with the stranger's eyes, tilting her head in confusion when the stranger suddenly walked towards her.

He took in a quick breath, but the words wouldn't come out from his lips. He was lost as soon as his eyes locked with hers; it was inevitable.

"I---er----ummm-"

Eun-ha can only stare at him, but she grew impatient, so she flashed him a polite smile before walking away, her shoulder softly brushing against his.

The slight touch made Soo-ho shiver involuntarily, and grasp her arm gently. He makes the girl turn towards him before leaning in.

He makes sure to keep his head focus as he stared at the surprised look in Eun-ha's face.

"I know this may be sudden," he lets his eyes wander towards her lips, "But will you please give me some of your time later this afternoon?"

Eun-ha quickly holds the handle of her sword, as she was surprised by the sudden action of the stranger. She turns to look at him, before raising her eyebrow when she heard his request.

"No."

And with that, Eun-ha yanks her arm free from the stranger's hold, and finally walks out of the restaurant to continue patrolling the city of Silla.

Soo-ho couldn't hear the laughter of his friends, nor the slight giggles of the people that were in the restaurant. He was too caught up on the fact he, the Soo-ho, was rejected, and by the girl of his dream, no doubt.
