The Peasants Prince [discontinued]

18. Solace

Gunhak couldn't keep his eyes off her.

Perfect.

He watched as her hair fell out of her braid, and she tucked it behind her ear when it fell in her face.

Perfect.

He watched as she licked her lips when they got cold.

Perfect.

Gunhak couldn't keep his eyes off her.

"So do you have an idea of what you want our sanctuary to be like?" Young Mi asked him.

Gunhak smiled a the word sanctuary.

"Anywhere you like is fine by me." Gunhak said.

"Well then let's get a move on," Young Mi said "The night is young..."

"...and?" Gunhak asked curious as to what she was implying.

"I-I don't wan't to waste my time with you."

Gunhak looked over to see Young Mi was looking anywhere but him.

She peeked over at him only to see that he was looking at her, so she flicked her head back to look anywhere but him.

"Are you implying that you want to spend the night with me?" Gunhak said leaning in close.

Young Mi spun around, and her braid whipped Gunhaks face.

"Aah!" Gunhak said as Young Mi grabbed his shirt and pulled him close.

"Listen here Your Highness," Young Mi said, venom lacing her tone, "Don't ever put words in my mouth. If you do it again don't be surprised if you get a red slap mark, that lasts several days."

"Understood." Gunhak said worrying as he slipped further towards the ground off his horse.

Young Mi let him go with a shove. Gunhak scrambled to right himself on his horse.

The black stalion whinnied as if he was laughing.

"Dolkong you traitor." Gunhak grumbled as he folded his arms.

"Pfft"

"Huh?" Gunhak looked up to see Young Mi with a hand covering her mouth.

Dolkong whinnied some more.

Young Mi erupted into laughter as Dolkong whinnied some more, and pretty soon the caramel mare Young Mi rode on, Hei, started to shake her head causing her black mane to fly about.

"I'm sorry!" Young Mi Managed to get out in between laughs, "But it just sounded like he was saying something witty!"

Gunhak couldn't stay angry for very long, just staring at the girl he loved made him feel ten times better.

"Oh yeah?" He said as Young Mi caught her breath, "What's your interpretation of what he said?"

"Interpretation...." Young Mi said the word as she thought about what Dolkong's whinny sounded like, "It sounded like he was saying 'Finally someone's treated this idiot how he should be treated'"

"How rude." Gunhak said as he looked down at Dolkong.

"At least it was me," Young Mi said "No one cares about what I do to you because I can't do much to you, and no one cares because they don't know I exist.

They rode in silence for a few more moments, when the silence was broken by a small gasp from Young Mi.

"This is the place," Young Mi said turning to Gunhak.
