My Little Prince

Chapter 5. I will protect you. (Kendra's POV)

Being with Kyungsoo is really fun. I can say that he’s a shy guy at first but when you get to know him more you’ll realize that he is playful and funny too. Instead of riding a taxi to Dongdaemoon, we decided to just walk together until we get there. Maybe because we just want to enjoy the moment being with each other. We talked about everything and anything until we reached Dongdaemoon. When we finally get there, I immediately grabbed his hand because of excitement and dragged him inside.

“Kyungsoo, where's the shoe's department store? I want to buy a pair of boots for my little sister when I go home.” I asked him.

“Shoes? Ahhm. Here, follow me.” He said then led the way. So I follow him without a word. Shopping is really one of my favorite hobbies so I’m really excited. As we enter the shoe department store, a brown leather boots caught my attention. So I decided to buy it for me. And for my sister, because she’s a little sassy and girly I bought her a cream colored boots with a fur on top of it.

After I pay it on the cash register I noticed that a girl is staring at Kyungsoo then later she began to shout. “Kyungsoo oppa!” Kyungsoo smiles at her and immediately look on the opposite direction. “Kyungsoo oppa! It’s really you!” the girl shouted that cause the people to notice her. I walked near Kyungsoo and when he finally noticed me, he immediately grabs my hand and started to run.

“Wait Kyungsoo, why are we running? Are we in trouble?” I asked him with a little exhaustion on my tone. “Yes! So just run and wear your hoods!” He said also while breathing heavily. I didn’t ask anymore and just followed what he said.

“Kyungsoo oppa!”

“Kyungsoo oppa! Gajima!”

“Saranghae Kyungsoo oppa!” I heard from our back. So I turned my head back only to see that a lot of girls are after us, holding their cameras and their phones. And they are actually screaming Kyungsoo’s name!

“Don’t look back!” Kyungsoo almost shouted at me. Uhh ooh! I think we really are in trouble. Kyungsoo is still holding my hand and now with our fingers intertwined, we are now outside Dongdaemoon and finding our way on the middle of the crowd to get lost of his fan. We have ran a long way and still running on a little out-of-way route. And now that we are sure that we have lost his fan we decided to take a little break from running to catch our breaths. We bent our knees and rest our back on the wall.

“W-why do you have to run away from them?” I asked while breathing heavily. “Maybe they just want to have a picture with you. Why don’t you just give what they want?” I almost mumbled.

“It can’t be. You’ll be in a great trouble if they found out that you are with me.” He answered. “What? Why? I didn’t do anything bad to them.” I said, really scared about what he just said. “I know, but for them, you are. You don’t know how crazy our fans can get here in Korea.” He said holding his chest. “They really have malicious minds, for sure they all think that we’re dating and you’ll get bashed if they found out about you. Fans here don’t want us to date nor have a relationship neither” He added.

“What! That’s absurd!” I almost shouted. “I know, I know. But don’t worry they didn’t recognize you because of your hoodies.” He replied. I can’t think of anything to say because I’m still on the state of disbelief. This really is quite a mess. I think that he noticed that I get speechless for a moment. So he rest his hand on my shoulder and said, “Don’t worry Kendra, I won’t let them hurt you. I won’t let anything bad happen to you. Ok?” I love to hear him say my name. Maybe he said it to try to make me calm, but it’s strange. I felt safe all of a sudden so I let out a small smile to make him know that I’m now ok.

We stand up and fixed ourselves and put on our hoodies then walk to the nearest waiting shed to wait for a taxi and to finally go home. It was a relief when we finally hopped on the taxi and get going. Here I feel safe, especially if with Kyungsoo.
