Destiny

Chapter 12

*JinHee's POV*

I stared at all the party goers on the dance floor. Everyone was having a grand time while I stood off to a corner trying not to be seen. I felt awkward in such a big ballgown. It was awful. Everytime someone looked in my direction I wanted to shrink further into my corner. Finally, I decided that I had seen enough and that HeeYoung wouldnt be upset if I skipped out on the rest of the ball. She was too preoccupied with SeHun anyway. I dashed out of the shadows and out of the doors when someone caught my arm. I quickly turned and found him standing there looking down at me. "Where are you going?" he breathed out. He sounded as if he was out of breath. 'Did he really run after me?' I thought to myself. "Well?" he asked. "Uhh~ back up to my room" I said. He shook his head and pulled me back towards the dance floor. "You can't leave, he said, not until after I've had this dance." His eyes sweeped over my face and he smiled. I couldn't say no.

*HeeYoung's POV*

I laid on a blanket in the grass with my nose in a book. I wanted to read it but my mind kept fluttering back to the ball last night. "What do you mean by that?" I had asked him. "I mean that you'll be the second of your sisters to get married. Since KyungMi has accepted JongDae's proposal and she is the oldest it's only right to let them get married first. Assuming that your answer is yes. It is yes isnt it?" He smiled at me sweetly "Sehun~ are you asking me to marry you?" I asked. "Yes~" he said. I looked at him with a shocked expression but nodded my head. I accepted. He lifted me and whirled me around. After that we danced the night away. For a first ball ever I think it was pretty damned good.

*KyungMi's POV*

I woke in Prince JongDae's room and reality set in. His arm was draped around me as I slowly turned in the bed. I looked at his sleeping face and smiled. His long eyelashes fluttered slightly as he dreamt. He was beautiful, truly worthy of being a prince. He was even more worthy of being my fiance. In the time that I had known him he had been an incredible friend to me. Our late night talks were my solice. He made me feel beautiful even when the rest of the world was disgusted by my presence. He would tell me stories about his home land of SiSeo Kingdom and hold me when I talked about my mother. He never pressed me for details or forced me to talk about things I was uncomfortable with. He was perfect and he wanted to be mine.I didn't think it was possible to love someone so much this quickly. I was so happy when he proposed to me last night, but I cried both tears of sorrow and fear. I do want to marry JongDae but I have responsibilities. I hope he'll understand.

*MiYoung's POV*

I woke up to the sound of light knocking on my door. I opened my eyes and saw that only JinHee was in the room and she was asleep. 'I guess I'll get it~' I muttered to myself. It hurt me to get out of bed. Although we had been technically raised to our proper status for over a month now I wasnt used to the comforts it brought. I smoothed my hair and opened the door. "Good morning your majesty~" Cynthia said. I smiled at her. "Good morning~ Cynthia" I said. I watched as her eyes widened. "What's wrong?" I asked her. "You--You said my name~" she said. "Well~ it is your name isn't it?" I asked rather smugly. "Yes it is your majesty~" she breathed. I rolled my eyes at her then smiled. "Did you need something?" I asked. "Oh yes~, she said, His majesty would like to see you." A wave of excitement rolled through me. "Tell him I'll be right there~" I said while dashing to the washroom.
