"It's so irritating! Why is she still mad at me?!" Hyunjin vented out as he took another swing at Felix who shot him this 'are-you-kidding-me' look before easily avoiding his attack.

"Hey. You fucked up man. You said the worst thing that anyone could possibly ever say to her. She has every right to get mad" As Felix spoke, he did a small spin before kicking Hyunjin square on the stomach and making the prince fall.

"Thanks 'Lix! I feel a lOT better now" Hyunjin said sarcastically before getting up once again and charging at the temporary personal knight.

Since you were still recovering, and since Hyunjin assumed that you needed space AND since he didn't want things to get awkward since you were still mad at him (even though you could act professional, he couldn't) He told his parents that he'd let Felix remain as his personal knight until your wounds were 100% healed which would be a while.

"I already apologized, what else does she want me to do?!" He whines, suddenly stabbing his sword on the ground and heading towards the bench to drink water.

The day after the fight, you and Felix (since you decided to sleep in your real room again) woke up to Hyunjin bursting through the door with a tray of all of your favorite dishes. The succeeding days, Hyunjin continued to bring you gifts which you declined.

Whenever he had free time in his schedule, he'd use it to head over to you to apologize again. But every time you saw him, you simply said "I already forgave you Prince Hyunjin. You should head to your next class" or something else along those lines.

Felix trails behind, grabbing his towel and wiping his sweat off as he says "She already said that she forgives you though, right mate?"

"If she did then why is she acting as though we aren't friends! Every time our paths cross, she's all formal"

Felix sighed. "I'm an idiot myself but bro, you really don't know anything about girls do you? Look, y/n acting all formal because she's still hurt, even if she has forgiven you. Now, there are two types of girls: One is the type that wants to be pestered. She wants you to know how much her presence means to you. If you keep on sticking around even though she's hurt, she'd eventually get over it and let things go back to normal"

Hyunjin arches a brow, wondering how the hell Felix knows all of this.

"The other type of girl, y/n, wants... space"

"WHAT DOES SHE THINK I'M ALREADY DOING?!"

"Hyunjin." Felix places a hand on each of Hyunjin's shoulders and looks the prince in the eyes.

"You want the truth? As y/n's roommate, let me tell you: Your words really hurt her. You're her best friend. If those words came from others she could brush it off, but you matter to her. What you say matters to her. You fucked up so deal with it. y/n is the type of girl who easily forgives but needs time process things. She needs time to get over things that make her feel sad"

Hyunjin pursed his lips.
Who knew that after being your best friend for more than half of your lives, he didn't know that about you. Then he realized, it's because you never got mad at him. You tended to get irritated but you never mad.

"I really did fuck up... didn't I?"

"She's not mad at you though"

"What?"

"Right now she's just more irritated over the fact that she can't get over how something so simple hurt her so much"

Hyunjin chuckled a bit as memories of you ranting to him in the rose garden because you couldn't sleep due to overthinking surfaced. Felix was right though. And if that was what you needed then he'd give it even if he hated being away from you.

"Dame y/n! My dear, you have no idea how grateful I am for what you did" Jisung's mother says before suddenly pulling you into a tight embrace. The action shocks everyone in the room and you end up awkwardly standing there and just letting her do it.

"Mom! Stop! She still hasn't fully recovered!" Jisung whines, a bit embarrassed by his mother's actions.

It had been three weeks since the day Jisung ran off in the forest, and two weeks since you woke up and fought with Hyunjin.

The issue at Jisung's kingdom had finally calmed down, and with the news of what happened to their son, the Hans rushed over to the Hwangs kingdom as soon as they could.

While they were at it, they decided to stay for two nights so that the two brothers could catch up.

The royal parents of Jisung had just arrived and requested that upon their arrival, aside from the usual greeting coming from the royal family at the throne room, that you be there as well.

"You know dear, our kingdom plans to have female knights as well. And we could really use someone like you there" Jisung's mom says, flashing you a small smile.

Everyone's ears perk up at the mention of that. "What are you suggesting?" The queen of your kingdom asks.

"I mean, if I could, I would bring her to our kingdom to train her own league of female knights"

You're quick to reply, just saying whatever comes to your mind first, voice coming out a little louder than you had expected.

"Thank you your highness but I couldn't possibly do that! I'm still in training myself and have a lot to learn and-"

"-Oh and she's humble too" Jisung's mom says with a small smile.

When Jisung notices your panicked state, he quickly interferes. "Mom, she's prince Hyunjin's personal knight you can't just-"

"-If she wants to then it's fine"

Hyunjin's voice cuts Jisung off.

The whole room falls into silence for a moment and Jisung's parents couldn't feel it but everyone else felt tense.

While your mind literally went blank for a second -something that's been happening frequently whenever something wouldn't process- everyone else was thinking about what the hell was going on in Hyunjin's mind right now.

"That's great!" Jisung's mother says, cutting everyone's train of thoughts off. "Just think about it, okay dear?" She asks, placing a hand on your shoulder, the action snapping you back to reality.

"Wha- I mean, Yes your highness" You mutter with a bow.
