The Lonely Prince

5

Jihoon's POV

It has been a week since I found the girl and she hasn't woke up yet. She is still laying in her room for the whole week.

Oh yeah I decided to give her a room for the mean time and when she woke up she can move on and return to her family.

It's early in the morning and I woke up earlier than usual and I am here at her room studying her facial features and my curiosity started growing, wondering what just happened to her back there in the lake and how did she get in since the lake is not open for anybody. It's only for the people who lives in the palace can get in. I mean there's definitely a huge border between the villager's lake and the palace's lake how in the world did she crossed?

I stare at her face for how many minutes but then her eyes started to flick and she slowly opened her eyes and adjusting from the bright light.

My eyes widened and my mind is still processing to the fact that she is now conscious.

She move her head and look at me and when she was about to open her mouth to speak she started coughing really hard.

I stood up and panicked on what I am supposed to do. I grabbed the glass of water on the bed side table and give it for her to drink, I sat in the bed just right next to her laying body and helped her get up as she was struggling. 

She grabbed the glass of water I gave her and her hand brushed on my hand and I felt my face feeling hot again I quickly remove my hand from the glass and she drank the water.

She finished the whole glass without leaving any drop of water. 

Oh wow her throat must be very dry.

She turn to look at me and spoke.

"Who are you?" as she tilts her head looking so confused.

What she don't know me? How come she don't know me? People in the village knows I am the Prince so how-

Wait a second.

She's not from here...

She's not from the village that's why she doesn't recognize me.

"Umm hello?" She waved her hand right in front of me and I blinked a couple of times.

"Oh, I'm uhh..." I was struggling on how should I say to her that I am a Prince and what if she would take advantage of me? 

"You are what?"

I suddenly had an idea.

"I am Min's son Jihoon.. Park Jihoon..My mother Min is the Young prince maid.. Yeah.." I started to get sweaty from lying.. I'm such a horrible liar I hope this works.

"Prince? Does Prince's even exist? Where's the Prince then? Oh wow and where the hell even am I? " as she roamed her eyes on her room.

"Uhh the Prince was out for a... mission. Yeah he's been doing that a lot and he's gone most of the time.. And this is the Prince' palace btw.." I said started nodding as if what I am telling was legit.

"So you're serious about the Prince and to add it this is his place? How did I even get here?"

"Ahh- that... The Prince brought you here he found you at the lake looking sick.."

"L-lake? what lake? What the hell am I doing in the lake?"

"You don't know what happened to you?" I asked her 

"No not at all.."

"Where are you from then? You are probably not from here.."

She just stared at me as she tried thinking hard. She looked so lost.

"Where are your family?"

She still looked so puzzled and lost.

"I can't remember anything.." that's all she could ever say and started tearing up.
