My Rival, My Love

Chapter IX: The Heiress Returns

MONDAY MORNING

LIM ESTATE

"Sir... She's set to arrive here at Gimpo airport within the day... Ah, sir?"

Changkyun doesn't reply.

"Right um... do you need some tea before we go to school then?"

Still no reply. He keeps staring outside through his bedroom's window. It was raining hard outside with sudden flashes of lightning and the rumbling of thunder following it.

"I'll take that as a no then?"

"Minkyun..."

"Yes?"

"You know how to use a gun right?"

"Ahhh... yes? Why do you ask?"

Changkyun turns around to face him. "Take your gun out right and shoot me."

"EH?! SIR!"

"JUST DO IT!"

"I CAN'T!"

"YAH! PARK MINKYUN!"

"I'M SORRY BUT I CAN'T DO THAT!" Minkyun shouts before hurriedly running out of the room, very much shaken by what Changkyun ordered him to do.

Changkyun walks towards his bed and takes a seat. He lowers his head down as he starts feeling tired so suddenly even though he's not in school yet.

The thought of "her" returning soon got lost in his mind upon his arrival back in Korea as he concentrated on getting back with (Your Name) for the sake of their engagement and of course, for his sake as well.

"She'll ruin everything once she finds me and especially... her... Everything I've done to make sure that things between me and (Your Name) improved will go to waste. What is she planning to do once she gets back here?"

His door opens and saw Minkyun standing beside it but holding onto the door. "Sir? A-are you sane now?"

"Yes I am... Look, I want you to do something."

"What is it?"

"Make sure H... I mean, "that person" doesn't go near me or the crown princess, got it?"

"And how will I do that?"

"Just make sure she doesn't... Please?"

"U-understood!"

Changkyun returns to staring back outside.

"It's either nature feels me or this thunderstorm is a bad omen..." He said to himself.

NARITA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, JAPAN

"Seola-ssi, how long is this delay going to last?"

"Unfortunately, it would be another hour before we can board our plane, my lady." Seola replied to her boss.

"Is that blasted thunderstorm still raging in Seoul?"

"I'm afraid so."

"Aish... what a good way to welcome my return to Korea... Has my father called?"

"Not yet, my lady but I'm sure he'll call soon. So, how are you feeling though?"

Her boss, who was wearing some shades, looked at her and asked: "Are you serious with that question?"

"Well... I was just... I just wanted to ask how you feel now that you're returning to Seoul after two years... I'm sorry my lady."
