HYUNGWON'S POV
From outside, I hear some footsteps.
It stops right outside my cell's metal door.
A medium sized rectangular hole opens.
"Dinner's here. Eat up."
Whoever it was, he inserts a plate with some food in it.
I quickly grabbed it, thanked the person and then went to have my dinner on the table which was beside my bed. A cup and a large bottle of water has been provided to me even before I arrived in here.
When I was arrested hours ago, I thought I would be placed inside one of those temporary cells inside police stations but, that wasn't the case. My cell was quite comfortable. I have a bed complete with one pillow and a blanket, a table and chair (like mentioned earlier, the cup and a large bottle of water) and, a small bathroom.
I was told, on my way here that I've been brought to a special cell of the Seoul Detention Centre. I was also informed of the reason why I've been ordered to be brought here.
"Harming the Prince?! You said what now?! You must be joking!"
"We are only obeying the orders of His Majesty the King."
"But, I didn't... When I was able to free myself from Jooheon's grip on my collar, he lost his balance and then, he was about to fall; when I saw this, I grabbed on him and told him to hold on but he slipped and that's why he fell!"
"You have the right to remain silent. You may say your defence during your trial."
"TRIAL?! BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! Look, even though Jooheon kept punching and grabbing me by the collar before he fell, I had no intention of seeing him fall down the stairs and having him hit his head! Talk to him! I'm sure he'll tell you the truth! This is just unfair!"
The four royal guards who were with me inside the van (one on my left and right and two in the front seats) went silent.
"What's wrong?" I asked. I suddenly had a bad feeling.
"His Royal Highness the Prince..."
"What?! Tell me what happened to him!"
"He's in a coma."
Those words have echoed within my head ever since they first uttered it to me.
Now I get it.
The King and his allies have twisted the story.
No doubt they must've made it appear to anyone who'll listen that I must've pushed Jooheon making him fall down the stairs and his head hitting the metal bars of the staircase.
"Yes, that must be it." I said to myself. "To arrest me just because I was dating the crown princess would be too ridiculous. This is bad... my dad won't stand for this, neither would the rest of the opposition and... (Your Name)..."
YOUR POV
"Seokwon! Have you got any news?"
"No, none so far. Dasom noona and I have been going around trying to get some information but, just like us, everyone has no idea either."
"Don't worry, I'm sure we will learn something new." Dasom unnie told me. "We will know where they took him."
It has been an hour already after news broke out that Hyungwon has been arrested. It was the news on all the major and even minor networks. It came out after the news of my brother, Jooheon falling into a coma. I had been told that the Palace tried to stop its release to the public but failed. The news about me and Hyungwon dating is still circulating heavily across the country. All other issues were placed behind after these three major issues concerning us, the House of Lee and Hyungwon's family, the House of Chae. I also learned earlier that a press conference would be held later and would be presided by Mr. Kim, the Royal Chamberlain and Prime Minister Lim.
