The next time Jaemin went into the forest, Jeno decided to follow him. He felt bad for doing it, but he really wanted to know what was going on. He followed him through the leafs that had fallen from the trees, then and now, Jaemin would look around him, Jeno knowing he was feeling his pretense. Jaemin came to a stop, he got down from his horse and tied him on a tree. Jeno did the same, but a bit far away. He then followed him walking silently, until he saw a big tree, it was enormous. Jeno saw Jaemin went behind it, and Jeno waited for any other sound, of leave, but instead, he heard talking and laughing, he knew Jaemin's voice of course, but didn't recognize the feminine one.
"Jaemin, someone's here" Jeno heard the femme nine voice, full of concern and sounding scared. Jeno didn't understand the reason why Jaemin kept this a secret, it was only a woman.
"I- I did felt like someone was watching me when coming here, but when I scanned my sorroundings, there was no one" Jaemin said, concerned. "You stay here, I'll check it out, we can't risk you being seen." Jeno heard as he slowly backed away. But to his bad luck, he stepped in a branch, making a crack sound.
"shit" he mumbled. He squished his eyes shut, knowing he was going to be seen. But he still was backing away.
"Jeno?" asked Jaemin in disbelief. "what the hell are you doing here?!" Jaemin asked, not angered, but panicking.
"I- I just- I wanted to know what was up" Jeno admitted. "I was worried about you..." said Jeno looking down.
"I told you everything was fine! How long have you been here? Did you follow me?" Jaemin said, slowly sounding angry.
"Jaemin? what's happening?" asked the feminine voice. Jaemin looked back at the tree, Jeno knowing he was concerned.
"Why were you so secretive? It's about a woman. Unless she's the princess from an enemy kingdom" said Jeno, trying to find a reason.
"It doesn't concern you" said Jaemin, coldly. Jeno felt something g cracking inside of him when he heard those words.
"I- I was just worried! Sorry for trying to be a good friend!" said Jeno, trying to say sorry, but going out the wrong way. He had tears in his eyes, like they would appear when he was angry or frustrated.
"I won't fight with you right now, stop it" ordered Jaemin, he was angry, yes, but he didn't want HeeSook to witness a fight with his best friend.
"Jaemin, he's your friend right?" asked HeeSook, only making Jeno more curious of why Jaemin was so concerned. Jaemin hummed in response and a yes. "Can he be trusted? I don't want you fighting because of this" she said.
Jaemin sighted. "Can I trust you with this?" he asked, giving up. He was still mad that he followed him, but deep down he knew he was worried and he could be trusted.
"Of course you can, you're my best friend" said Jeno.
"Okay... HeeSook, it's fine, come" said Jamin, very gently. Jeno knew right away the prince felt special about her.
He looked at the tree, first looking at the front part of her body. She was pale, black long hair, red dress, and slowly, got
