Jaemin was back in the Na Kingdom. The moment he arrived, no matter how tired he was, he took his horse and trotted towards the tree, in hope she would be there.

"Jaemin? You're here!" she said when she heard the hooves of his horse. The phoenix came out from behind the tree, were they would always sit. A smile planted on her face. "You look tired" she said when she saw his face.

"Hey! Yes, I'm a bit tired, but nothing grate" he reassured, which a smile on his face. "Let's sit" he said, taking her hand softly and guiding her towards their spot. Her heart started beating faster, oblivious that his too.

"So, how was your trip?" HeeSook asked, curious of the outside world out of the forest.

"We went to the Hwang Kingdom, I'm friend with the princes and princes of there, childhood friends" he explain. He also said what they did, which wasn't much, but she was curious, paying attention to every word he said.

"How did the Na Kingdom and the other one came to be that close?" the phoenix asked curious. Her leaning slightly to the left and her eyes were opened in curiosity, her lips where parted a bit. In Jaemin's eyes, she looked beautiful, he wanted to protect her.

"Well, the kingdoms were in war some decades ago, until my grandparents, the rulers of that time, decided to bring peace, between the kingdoms. They came to agreements, gifted each other, and peace was made. My father was already born at that time, he might have been about 12 years old. He met the Hwang prince, now king, and become good friends" Jaemin explained.

The winged girl looked interested. She didn't know how it worked outside. In the depths of the forest, no one ruled, they were all in peace, in freedom. The systems were very different. She knew he was a prince, but she didn't really know how it worked, it was very different than her world.

"And you? How did you pass the week?" Jaemin asked. HeeSook smiled, ready to tell her her week.

"I was home, in the depths of the forest, Haechan and I decided to go every place where we used to go when we were younger. The water nymphs also made the river's water look cleaner and clear. The fair is gifted me some flowers, but I accidentally burned them, so they gave them to Haechan instead, and the old tree, told me about other phoenixes he has met through the years" She said excited.

Jaemin was shocked. Her world, her way of leaving, was so different to his. It sounded fun, she didn't have grate responsibilities, she was a free soul, Jaemin ensued that, not on a bad way, but he really wished he could also live like that.

They kept on talking, until the sun was about to set. They parted ways, each to their own home, Jaemin to the palace, and HeeSook into the depths of the forest.
