"I'm tired.." Mi-yeon frowned.
"So, why did you even followed me? You should've just went back to the palace." Chul-soo said while he kept walking forward. He doesn't even bother himself to look back.
"I don't know that it could be that far.. or are we lost??" Mi-yeon complained.
"Can you please.. shut up, remember the rules.. Do you want me to leave you here alone?" Chul-soo snapped.
"Okay, fine. I'll keep quiet." Mi-yeon pouted.
"Good.. now move.. fast!!" Chul-soo commanded.
They continue walking until they reached a beautiful place near a waterfall.
"We've arrived.." Chul-soo said.
"Wahhh... this is amazing.." Mi-yeon widened her eyes. Her jaw already dropped, amazed by the view in front of her.
"Can you just act normally? You're annoying me." Chul-soo rolls his eyes.
"Sorry.. I just never saw something like this. How did you found this place anyway?""Someone showed it to me. Don't ask who, she's gone anyway. I just came here every time I'm feeling upset." Chul-soo said.
"Oohhh..." Mi-yeon nodded then turned to the view. 'She..?' She can't help but wondered who is 'she'..
"What is it? That's making you upset?" Mi-yeon asked, her eyes still can't leave the view in front of her.
"Just something.."
"Well, I understand it, If you don't want to tell me about it. But you can't hold it too long, you must let it out to make you better.. from here.." Mi-yeon placed her hand on his chest.
Chul-soo's heart suddenly beating very fast.
"Wow.. your heart is beating so fast, are you okay?" Mi-yeon asked worriedly.
"No!!!" He grabbed her hand from his chest making Mi-yeon startled.
"I mean yes... I'm fine..." He let go of her hand."Okaaaayyy... fine.. are you sure?"
"Yes... I am..."
"Both you and Prince Chul-soo kept acting weird.." She said scratching her head.
"Prince Chul-soo? Well... why? What did he do?? Did he tell you something??"
"No... but he acted weirdly.. he looks nervous all the time.." Mi-yeon explained.
"Ooh.."
"Oh yeah... Anyway,, let me take a look at those back.." Mi-yeon spoke out.
"What?"
"Your hand..." Mi-yeon grabbed his hand tightly.
"Wait... no need to.. I'm fine, I can just wash it.." Chul-soo refused. He is always scared of treatment. He is scared of seeing more blood coming out.
"Don't worry.. It won't hurt, if that's what you're scared of.."
"I'm... I'm not scared.. no way..." Chul-soo beamed.
"You can't lie to yourself, Hee-joon ssi.." Mi-yeon sat down on a stone and signalling him to sit.Somehow, her words softened him. He just obeyed her after a while.
Mi-yeon took out a clean cloth and wiped his hand. She cleans it up softly so that Chul-soo won't get hurt.
But, he kept closing his eyes not wanting to see it. Once a while he stole a glance at her secretly. When he looks at her, his fear just strangely faded away.
Mi-yeon finished up with wrapping his hand with cotton cloth.
"And... done..."
"Fuh... that's scaring..." He finally let it out.
"Ahah... you said you weren't scare.."
"I'm not.. I'm just..." Chul-soo suddenly lost of words when Mi-yeon chuckled.
"Yah,, don't make fun of me.." Chul-soo rolls his eyes annoying.
"You're just funny." She finally stop chuckling.
"Don't laugh!! Stop it or You'll regret it later." Chul-soo warned.
"And why is that? Why would I regret?""Cause I'm a..." Chul-soo stopped.
"You are?? What?" Mi-yeon asked.
"Nothing.. just don't mess up with me, I'm serious.." He looks away.
"Hah... okay, I'll try to be serious too.." Mi-yeon said but Chul-soo didn't reply.
Mi-yeon just smiled quietly looking at him.
"Well, it's quite dark now... When will we go back to the palace?" Mi-yeon spoke out.
"We?? Not we... but you.. You'll go back tomorrow, I'll stay here.." Chul-soo beamed.
"Wait,what? Alone? You're kidding me, right? How can I go back alone?"
"Figure it out yourself.. It won't be dark tomorrow morning, so leave.. I just won't go back there.."
"No way, I won't go without you.. I'll wait until you decided to go back."
"Why are you so stubborn? Can't you just leave me alone? All I want is just to be alone!" Chul-soo snapped.
Mi-yeon moves backwards a little, feeling surprised at his sudden action.
"Just... leave..." Chul-soo spoke out softly after seeing her shocked face. He felt guilty out of a sudden.
