"Where's Chul-soo??" Queen Taeyeon asked.
"I'm sorry, your highness.. He... he doesn't want to get out of his room.. We already coaxed him but he still insisted." Hee-joon spoke out.
"I told you to force him!! Not coax him." Queen Taeyeon snapped.
"I... I'm sorry... your highness..." Hee-joon lowered his head even more.
"Just let him be.. you know he won't last long." King Junmyeon interrupted.
Queen Taeyeon sighed heavily.
"Hee-joon... make sure to guard his room until he finally get out. Don't even let him escape." Queen Taeyeon commanded.
Hee-joon just nodded and bowed before leaving.
"Aishh... you're troubling me again." Hee-joon muttered as soon as he went out.
Then, he went to Chul-soo's room.〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
"Wow... did you draw this?" Mi-yeon asked as she found a sketch of someone while she was cleaning the room.
"Yeah. is it beautiful? I thought it might need a little more touch up." Chul-woo replied.
"Are you serious? This is perfect.. No wonder you called yourself an 'artist' just now." Mi-yeon praised.
"Ehemm... Mi-yeon! Language!!" Eun-mi reminded.
"No3... it's okay... we're not in front of other people.. you can call me freely.. Beside, that's more comfortable." Chul-woo said.
"Are... are you sure,, your highness??" Eun-mi asked.
"Yes, I'm sure.. anyway, do you really think my sketch is perfect?" Chul-woo asked Mi-yeon excitedly.
"Of course. Don't you think so, Eun-mi ah?" Mi-yeon showed the sketch to Eun-mi.
"Yeah,, this looks great for me." Eun-mi said.
"Wahhh... thank you so much.. Now I can't wait to give him this." Chul-woo jumped like a small kid."Oppa!! Don't jump... you might spit out your breakfast back.." Princess Chun-hwa chuckled.
"Aishh... don't worry... I won't..." Chul-woo smiled brightly.
"You looked like a child. Should I call you Child woo?" Mi-yeon joked.
"Is that a nickname? I liked it!! Suitable for me, Yeay.. I just got a nickname!" Chul-woo said excitedly.
Mi-yeon and the others just laughed at his silliness.
"By the way, This guy you drew... it's someone I know right? So, it's true that both of you are close." Mi-yeon asked.
"Yes, you knew him... and of course we're close, he's my brother..." Chul-woo beamed.
"Brother? You mean Prince Chul-soo? But I thought it was Hee-joon.." Mi-yeon looked at the sketch back confusedly.'I'm sure it's Hee-joon.' Mi-yeon thought staring at the sketch.
"I think you had misunderstood... he's..." Before Chul-woo could finish his sentence, someone suddenly came in and covered his mouth like a kidnapper. But, he's not a kidnapper.. it was Hee-joon who came by..
"Actually... what he's trying to say is.. the guy in the sketch was Hee-joon, Chul-woo always thought of him as a brother cause.. he's.. like a brother to him... yeah.. that's it..." Hee-joon said in flash.
"What??" Chul-woo asked confusedly as he pulled away Hee-joon's hand.
Princess Chun-hwa and Eun-mi also looked at him weirdly.
"Ouh... that makes sense, I understand now..." Mi-yeon spoke out making everyone turned to her.
Hee-joon felt relief. Luckily, she believed that. Or else, what should he say to Chul-soo if she figure it out?"What do you mean, Mi-yeon...this is Hee..." Eun-mi couldn't continued her sentence when Hee-joon cut her word this time.
"The guy in the sketch!!!" He almost shouted.
This time, Mi-yeon was the one who stared at him confusedly.
"I mean... Hee-joon... in the sketch... you understand me, right?" Hee-joon already sweating nervously. Why?? Just why he need to lie for Chul-soo?
"Yeah.. I do, but you're acting weird your highness.. are you okay?" Mi-yeon asked.
"Sure... I erm.. need to talk with you, Mi-yeon.. right now.." He stuttered.
"Me? Oookay, sure... what is it?"
"Let's go outside... please..."
Mi-yeon nodded although she still felt weird by his behaviour. Then she walked outside followed by Hee-joon.
