Jea-ha's Meddling Of Love Affairs

Chapter X

Today had been a quiet and boring day, unlike the rest. Everyone was just keeping to themselves occupying their time. Yoon was doing laundry, Kija was climbing a tree to escape a termite, Zeno was eating, Shin-Ah was feeding Ao some random berries he had found, Hak was off somewhere and Yona was practicing her archery. Jea-ha however, was bored. Not slightly bored, but literally dying from boredom. There was nothing he could do, except for tease everyone but that wouldn't work when they are so occupied with their own things.

Of course Jea-ha had started thinking of how he could tease everyone, swap labels around on Yoon's jars of herbs, put insects in Kija's bed, give Zeno some weird food, feed Shin-Ah and Ao some paralytic berries, tease Yona? Just as Jea-ha was thinking about who he could tease and how, he had decided on a target... Hak.

Jea-ha got an devilish smirk as if he had plotted something truly evil.

Considering this was just another one of his capricious whims he did know how it would turn out, but he wanted to find out.

Taking a sly stride up to Yona, making sure no one could see him, he had intended to interrupt her daily training.

But for a few moments he stopped and just stood watching Yona handle a bow, it makes him remember what had happened with Kumji.

He thinks back to seeing Yona amidst the battle, small and frail as ever. An intense fire burning within her eyes as if her soul itself were fire. Her hands mercilessly releasing the arrow that held so much hope and conviction... Shot straight into the heart of a tyrant, Jea-ha still gets chills thinking about it.

With less intensity but with unwavering strength her arrows fly, hitting the mark each and every time, he felt somewhat bad about disturbing her training but he decided he needed entertainment as well.

"Yona~" Jea-ha said in an almost playful tone.

"Jea-ha" Yona said, lowering her bow

"Yona, do you want to go on a date~" He said with an innocent childlike smile, completely aware that Hak was probably listening in on their conversation. Waiting to interject at any given moment.

"A date?" Yona asked innocently. Truly not knowing what a date was.

"A date, when a man and woman spend time together and have fun" Jea-ha said, explaining it but also leaving his explanation vague...

"Ohhh, I see. That sounds fun" she replied with a smile

"Hime---" Hak's voice was drowned out by the sound of Jea-ha leaping with Yona in his arms.

He looked down to see Hak glaring intently, he smirked at Hak's dishevelled face.

He could imagine that Hak was planning to kill him, skin him or most likely torture him. Poor Yona had no knowledge of the type of date she was in for.

Leaping through the forest until a city came into view, of course Yona had to keep her cloak on to hide herself from prying eyes that could have recognised her as Princess Yona. Jea-ha gracefully landed, putting Yona gently on her feet. Yona stretched and smiled, it had been a while since she had been to the city.

Jea-ha smirked at the thought of Hak sitting on a tree stump grinding his teeth from irritation, giving himself wrinkles or probably going on a rampage against nature. The thought was enough to make Jea-ha burst into laughter, yet he did not know that Hak's jealousy was on an entirely different level. As Jea-ha was laughing and walking through the city with Yona, Hak was running through the forest.

Yona and Jea-ha had stopped at a relaxing tea house, apparently the best place to get dumplings in the city, they also had a wide range of sweets. At the description of some of the sweets Yona seemed to be drooling and was excited to try them, she and Jea-ha shared sweets and just chatted, Jea-ha was sharing the stories from his not-so-long-ago pirate days.
