The Peasants Prince [discontinued]

8. Wishing Well

Gunhak rode his horse into the palace stables. Dismounting as soon as he had stopped. And running into his room, startling a few of the maids.

He entered his chambers and closed the door behind him. Sliding down and touching his cheek which still throbbed.

"Young Mi" Gunhak said "Eternal and Beautiful." He thought of her hair, the way it easily slid over her shoulder and how her eyes sparked in anger as she slapped him. The way her movements entranced him, and how her lips parted as she slipped.

"Suits her perfectly." He sighed as he stared off into the distance. He walked into his wardrobe and took off his riding clothes. Slipping on some comfortable robes.

Gunhak emerged from his wardrobe and saw a golden coin. He walked over to it and picked it up, turning it over in his finger. His mind wandered to the wishing pond they had in the garden.

Gunhak walked out into the garden. He held the coin close to his heart and  thought of his wish.

I hope I see her again, he thought.

He threw the coin into the water. It landed in the small bowl.

"Yes!" He jumped up into the air and punched his fists. Ignoring the strange stares from the guards.

Gunhak rubbed his cheek. Which had stopped throbbing and was nothing but a slight flush.

He walked to his room thinking of the way Young Mi walked. The way her hips swayed slightly.

"Who would've thought," Gunhak said once he was I  the privacy of his room, "that my first crush would be on a simple girl who slapped me?"

***
Yes this is Geonhak's first crush.

Yes, he's acting like a lovesick puppy.

That's because he has never had a crush before. So he obviously doesn't know how to react.

Apologies for the short chapter I'm busy rewatching Shadow and Black Swan. So there.

Plus I'm preparing for my flight back home to New Zealand. I was visiting my grandparents in Scotland.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To show the possums how it's done!!

HEEHEHEE!

People from New Zealand will understand.

Thanks for reading my wonderful Lion Pride.
