Play time!!

"Can you let me go out of this room now?" Mi-yeon asked.
"Let me think... no." Chul-soo replied.
"But why? Your highness, I had a lot of work to do.. You can't keep me forever." Mi-yeon frowned.
"Excuse me, you just promised to accompany me until I finish my breakfast." Chul-soo said.
"You're the one who forced me to promise and you know what? You took forever to have even one bite.." Mi-yeon rolls her eyes.
"I can take even longer." Chul-soo joked.
"I'm not joking." Mi-yeon crossed her arms on her chest.
"Why are you so rushing? Is there anything important than me?" He tried to sound strict.
"Probably yes.. I promised Prince Chul-woo to play with him today." Mi-yeon beamed.
"You what??" Chul-soo almost choke on his food.
"He begged us to play with him. Why, is that wrong?" Mi-yeon asked.
"Well, you shouldn't promise a prince to 'play' together. He should focus on the country matter, not playing.."

"Why not? He should enjoy his life.." Mi-yeon said.
"Huh.. seriously, I don't know what else to say. Trust me, if you play with Chul-woo, you won't have any chance to rest at all.." Chul-soo beamed.
"It's not just me actually. Eun-mi is also joining us. So, I don't think it'll be as bad as you said." Mi-yeon tried to think positively.
"Eun-mi? Wow.. that's unusual... it's kinda weird that she agreed with that."
"What's so weird?" Mi-yeon asked.
"As far as I know.. she was the closest to Chul-woo so she knew all about him, including how hyperactive he was." Chul-soo explained.
"You tell me that as if it's so bad.. why don't you join us?" Mi-yeon offered.
"I'm not a child anymore to play that childish game.." Chul-soo said.
"Okay, if that is so.. then maybe i should ask Hee-joon..."
"Wait!! I never say I'm not joining you." Before Mi-yeon could finish her sentence, Chul-soo cut her right after she said that name.

"Okay... that's fast.. but I'm still inviting him, he usually agrees with whatever I said." Mi-yeon smiled.
"Yah, what's with that smile?? Why him anyway? There's more person we could think of.." Chul-soo said clearly sounds irritated.
"Wait, are you..."
"He has a lot of work to do today so... I don't think he could join us.." Chul-soo cut Mi-yeon's sentence again.
"Ouh,so bad he couldn't join. Fine.. let's just go after you finish your breakfast, just be quick... I don't want Prince Chul-woo to keep waiting.." Mi-yeon sighed.
Chul-soo just nodded slightly.
'Why did she sigh, Was she so disappointed that Hee-joon couldn't join? I surely can be a better player than him though. wait, why did i even agreed to join her? I just agreed *to play with Chul-woo*..' Chul-soo already thought how bad it could be.
He totally regret it now.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

"Where's Mi-yeon?? She's too late now.." Chul-woo pouted.
Eun-mi just sighed. "Yeah she's late. she was the first to suggest this. How could she leave me and this kid alone. I should have never agreed with this." She muttered.
They both were sitting at the small hut near the royal park.
"Excuse me,, kid?? I heard that.. why am i still a kid? Is it because I'm too cute? Huh.." Chul-woo glared.
"Your attitude... I can't say you're a prince with that childish attitude, your highness.." Eun-mi replied.
"I am older than you by two years. Why can't you see me as a man?" Chul-woo asked.
"I just can't.. why is a man still want to play like a kids?"
"Well, this man, just wanna have some fun and enjoy himself..." Chul-woo pointed at himself.
"You can just relax and enjoy yourself as a prince. Why did you want to take the hard way and take other people's attention?"
"Because no one care!!" He raised his voice.
Eun-mi was quite startled.bHe never shout to anyone before.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"It's just.. no one care about me..." Chul-woo said lowering his voice knowing he made Eun-mi startled.
"Everyone keeps talking about Chul-soo hyung.. even Chun-hwa always siding with him..." He looked onto the ground.
"You're the only person who understands me and never talked about him. You make me feel comfortable. That's why I liked being and playing with you." Chul-woo slowly turned to Eun-mi with a sad eyes.
Making Eun-mi felt guilty saying those things.
"I'm sorry,, your highness. I'm being rude.. you deserved to scold me.." Eun-mi stood up and bowed. Chul-woo also stood up right after.
He walked closer to Eun-mi. She suddenly felt nervous. She really thought he was going to scold her.
Eun-mi stepped backward but then Chul-woo grabbed her arm.
"That's why.." He spoke out leaning closer till there's almost no space between them.
Eun-mi gulped nervously. Her heart almost explode by his sudden attitude.
