Hwarang: A Different Kind Of Halfbreed.

25.

Mei and Soo ho were on the training grounds. Mei had convinced him to a friendly sparring match but then she ended up taking out all her frustrations on him.  Soo ho lay on the ground with a sword pointing at his throat, Mei knocked him down for the tenth time.

"You're going easy on me!" Mei said breathlessly.  Soo ho stood up and took his shirt off, it was soaked in sweat. He threw it aside and took a deep breath, "I understand that you're frustrated but I'm not going to go full force with you. You said so yourself this is a friendly sparring match" Soo ho said.

Mei sighed and dropped her sword, the sparring wasn't helping her at all. She balled her hands up into fists and glared at Soo ho.  "Stop going easy on me or I'm gonna give you a blue eye!" She exclaimed and swung her fists at him.  Soo ho easily dodged them and he slid his leg forward making Mei trip then he caught her just as she was about fall.

She was breathing heavily as she looked up at him. "There are better ways to vent out your frustrations princess" he said and pulled her closer.  "You know you're the only man I'd never get flustered with, because I know you're a hopeless flirt" Mei said pinched his ear.

Soo ho let her go and then knelt down as Mei twisted his ear, "Alright alright I'm sorry just please dont do anything to my face, I have a date tonight" Soo ho pleaded. 

Mei let go of his ear and shook her head "I can't believe you've gone back to your playful ways... you've been back for just two months!"

"Its not my fault the ladies can't resist me" Soo ho said and smirked.  He picked up his shirt and left.  Mei sighed and made her way to the showers, she was going to have dinner  with Jinheung.  He wasn't starving himself anymore but he asked her to join him for a meal at least once a day.

Mei knew it was because he was lonely and Ah ro wouldn't accept his invitations but she still felt that it was selfish of him to invite her over everyday knowing how she felt about him. Especially since he didn't feel the same way.

She had been visiting him everyday for nearly three months and anytime she went she'd have a song prepared to help him sleep since the only time he could rest was when she was with him. Being a king was hard and apparently the officials were urging him to get married as soon as possible.

" When is Sun woo coming home?" Mei asked as she and Jinheung ate.

"How many times do I have to tell you that his real name is Moo myung and I can't be too sure when he's coming back"

"Well look I'm already used to Sun woo and it's not like you don't know who I'm talking about so quit correcting me and how can you not know when he's coming back you're the one that sent him"

"Its a very difficult mission and why do you keep asking me about him?"

"I miss him and so does Ah ro, she's really lonely without him you know" Mei said.

"Well if you miss him so much then you're free to join him and take Ah ro with you" Jinheung said.

"What's the matter with you,we're just worried about him. Besides you are actually related aren't you so you should be worried to" Mei said.
