Three years later...
The sun was shimmering, lightning the words of the classic, the breeze of spring tickle the petals of cherry blossoms to fly around the palace's garden.
A teenage boy stays hidden behind a tree, peeking towards a girl that he never seen before, reading classic. He was curious about the girl, what she's doing here? And how could she be so gorgeous with a pink silk hanbok and hair braided neatly? He quietly tiptoed towards the girl.
"Ehem! What a noble girl doing here, in the palace? You didn't seem like a court lady."
Hyerin closed her book and stand up.
"I'm just waiting for my brother"
"Ah, I see, but why are you reading classic?"
"Nothing, it just for fun , learning about the world and ourselves. But I was wondering why everyone keep asking me the same question? Is it wrong for girls to read how they wish? I can't understand why Joseon always underestimate girls? We have the same brain like men."
He was impressed, he never met such a girl who bluntly speaks her mind, but in a good way.
And no one had ever said they read classics for fun.
"Same brain? I never heard anyone say such words" he laughed.
"Wait. Why are you talking informally to me? We just met." Hyerin crossed her arms.
She never met this boy but he kind of rude.
"I'm older than you" he smirked.
"Do you know me?"
"No. How old are you?"
"13. Who are you? You are so annoying".
" See, you are two years younger. I'm 15".
Hyerin's face puzzled.
" Han Hyerin!" Han Minhyun, Hyerin's brother walking towards her.
" Oraboeni (big brother)!" Hyerin called sweetly.
"Hyerin, sorry to make you wait. Here the book you want and the recipe from Court lady Choi."
" Seja Jeoha (crown prince)! I'm so sorry, I didn't realized you were here" Minhyun bowed to him.
Hyerin didn't expect this. Where she would hide her face. She was so embarrassed for being so rude to the crown prince. She had no idea it was him, he was wearing normal blue silk hanbok like all nobles do.
