Destiny

Chapter 21

*JinHee's POV*

A few weeks had gone by and things in the palace were crazy. YiXing and MiYoung were getting married tomorrow and everyone was preparing. The kitchen staff was preparing the wedding feast, decorators were running rampant through the halls and MiYoung was losing her mind with excitement. Life certainly had changed for us in the past few months. I sat in ZiTao's room relaxing on the armchair while i watched the tailor make minor adjustments to his wedding attire. The white tuxedo fit him beautifully and highlighted his athletic body. He turned to me and noticed that I was staring. He smiled and sent the tailor away. When the door closed he spun around and stepped off the pedistal. "Hey, he said while picking a tie up from the bed, you know how to tie one of these things?" "You don't?" I asked while standing up. "Nope~, he said as he handed the tie to me, I'm a Prince...someone will wipe my butt if I ask them to. I never needed to learn." I laughed and draped the peice of fabric around  his neck as I began to create a knot he put his hands over mine and stopped me. I looked up into his eyes, and he stared back into mine intensly. "I love you, he said while moving one hand to cup my face, you know that right?" I smiled. "Yes...I know,I said, I love you too." "Good because we are going to be family in a few hours and I didnt want that to change anything between us" he said. "Tao, I said, nothing between us will ever change okay? Don't worry" "I know baby, he said with a smirk, I just wanted to hear you say it."

*KyungMi's POV* 

I sat in Prince Jongdae's old room amoungst some of his old things that weren't sent home to his Kingdom. The room seemed so empty and cold without him. All that was left was a trunk at the foot of the bed. I walked over to it slowly and opened it. Inside were a few articles of clothing. I combed through them carefully unfolding and holding his shirts close to my chest. They still carried his scent. "Oh JongDae why did you have to go?" I said as I began to sob. I took a deep breeath and threw the shirt to the ground. I refused to wallow in misery any longer, this was not what a princess was to do. I wiped my eyes and looked up from the ground where something attatched to the inside of the trunk caught my eye. I was a note folded carefully with my name on it. I raised an eyebrow as I read it. "KyungMi, I pray that you'll find this letter someday and I'm willing to wait a lifetime until you do. Leaving you was the hardest thing I have ever had to do but it was honestly was not with the intent to hurt you. If I didnt go you could have been hurt and there is no way that I could live with that pain. Starting tonight, and for every night until the day I die I will wait for you at the SiSeo/Qingsha border from sunset to sunrise and I hope that you will meet me there one day. Be safe my love. Take care. Forever Yours, JongDae." 

I gripped the paper with shaking hands and tried to calm my wild breaths. All this time I thought that he had forgotten me and I hated him for it. He had never stopped loving me. I needed to see him but I felt conflicted... my sister's wedding was in the morning but the love of my life was waiting for me. The only thing I could do was be honest. I had to talk to MiYoung.

*MiYoung's POV*

        I can't believe it,I'm getting married tomorrow. Everything was finally falling into place and I was more ready than I thought I would be. My only regret would be that my baby sister HeeYoung wouldn't be there. She had gone to SiSeo Kingdom to visit SeHun but I wasn't angry with her. They had been through so much with and for eachother, they deserved to be together. Besides, this entire week was about love and nothing else. I wanted everyone to be as happy I was right now. I walked through the hall and knocked on the door to YiXing's office before letting myself in. He was at his desk talking with two very important looking men. The conversation seemed intense and none of them acknowledged my existence. I wish I knew what they were saying but they spoke in their native language, a language in which I'm not fluent. I stood quietly in the corner by the door and listened as the men and my husband to be argued. One of the men raised his voice even louder and even banged his fist on the desk. At this point I did not care who the men were, they would not disrespect a King in his Palace. "Enough!" I shouted. The room went silent and all three men looked in my direction. YiXing's eyes widened slightly as he leaned forward in his chair. "Gentleman, I said in my most dignified authoritative voice, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave." "I beg your pardon madam" One of the men exclaimed as he rose to his feet. I straightend my back and looked him directly in the eyes. "Excuse me sir but it is I who must beg YOUR pardon. I asked you to leave." I said. "And who are you?" he scoffed. YiXing covered the amused grin on his face with his hand and answered the question for me. "My wife to be" he said. Both men's eyes widened.

         "Your majesty~!" they both cried out as they fell to the floor in deep bows. "Oh your majesty I am so sorry you must forgive me" the man said now humbled by the revealation of my status. "You are forgiven, I said, now go~!" The men bowed again and scurried out of the room. Once they were gone YiXing and I bursted into laugheter. I walked over to him and sat on his lap wrapping my arms around him. He put his arms around my waist and kissed my lips. "I don't know wht youre so worried about being Queen, he said, regality suits you well." I giggled. "Why thank you kind sir" I said. I kissed him again and he pulled me closer deepening the kiss. My skin started to get warm as a familiar moisture pooled between my legs. "YiXing~ my goodness, I said while breathing heavily, save it for after the wedding." "What if I don't want to wait?" he asked while picking me up and placing me on his desk. "Ahhh no~~, I said, its only a few hours. just wait please?" "Okay~,he said with a sigh and giving me a kiss on my forehead, I'll wait." I kissed him again and then left the office where I ran into my sister KyungMi.

"MiYoung~~~!,she said as she ran over to me, MiYoung I have to talk to you about something." She came over and explained everything to me about some letter that she found from JongDae. "So MiYoung, she continued, I know this is crazy but I really need to--" "Just go~" I said while cutting her off. "What?" she asked I hugged her. "Go KyungMi~, I said, go get your man! go now and be back before the wedding." "REALLY?!" she exclaimed. "Kyung! for the lastime... go now!" I said. "Oh thanks so much mimi, she said while hugging me, i promise ill be back in time. I love you!" "I love you too Kyung~!" I yelled as she took off down the hall.

*HeeYoung's POV*

I laid in my bed as SiSeo and stared at the ceiling. I couldnt sleep from being so sad. Tomorrow was my sister MiYoung's wedding and I was upset I couldn't be there for her on her big day. Still, It was all worth it to be here with SeHun. I would never forget the moment we were reunited. It had been a long carriage ride but when we finally arrived my breath was taken away. The castle was huge with hundreds of windows and staff running about. Outside there were bushes of white roses, Queen BoA's favorite. We got out of the carriage and ascended the stairs walking through 2 large black doors. Queen BoA led me up the stairs into a room at the end of the hall. She opened the door and quietly told me to go inside. I nervously walked in and stood quietly. In the room there was a large bed with a figure laying in it, it didnt move. "SeHun~?,Queen BoA called out quietly, SeHun sweetheart please get up." He groaned. She shook her head and looked at me with pleading eyes. I nodded and she left the room closing the door quietly behind her. I turned toward the bed again and sighed. "SeHun?" I called out. There was silence for a moment then I heard the sheets rustle. I walked over to the curtains and opened them letting light come into the room. The sheets rustled again. "HeeYoung?!?" he said. I looked towards him and nodded. He was sitting up in bed shirtless and his hair was dishelved. I moved towards him and sat next to him on the bed. "I can't believe you're here, he said while hugging me tightly, I was afraid I'd never see you again." I punched him in the arm. "Don't you ever so anything like that again!, I yelled as tears began to fall, don't you dare! You promise me Sehun!" "I won't. I'm Sorry!! I love you~!" he said. He held me tight to his chest and I traced the red scar around his neck with my fingertip. He looked down at me  and traced mine. We matched. I closed my eyes and put my arms around him. Neither of us ever wanted to let go.
