dedicated to samjj_ ! please read her work ✊🏻

"Are you okay Jennie?" The princess asked me. "You look...red." She said

I quickly shook my head from her statement, I am red?! No way!

"U-Uh, it's nothing your highness." I assured her. She just smiled and nod as her response.

"Princess, the gentlemen are already waiting outside," A beautiful armored woman entered the Princess's room. She has a big round eyes and she looks very young. It looks like she is one of the General's men.

Speaking of the General.... Ugh!

"Who are you?!" he screamed.

"You don't have to know!" I yelled as I recognized him...no, I mean 'her'. I swim away from her as fast as I could. But one of my finger toe suddenly froze and I lose my balance.

"H-Help!" I screamed for help. For God's sake how can this be so deep?! And here I am like a kid-drowning!

I cried and asked for help but I couldn't see anyone. I think the General ran away from me already.

Am I going to die? Is this my last chance?!

My death is miserable. I didn't even had the chance to say good bye to my mother and to Nayeon before leaving the Earth.

Before closing my eyes, my vision became blurry. But, I saw someone jumps here in the river to rescue me. Then I slowly closed my eyes and everything went black.

"*cough!* *cough!*"

"Thank goodness you are alive." I opened my eyes and I saw General Kim in front of me. I quickly stood up and hold the towel wrap around me.

"What did you do to me?!" I asked her.

She fixed herself and chuckled. "Is that how you thank me?" She asked. I looked away and saw my hanbok hanging on the tree beside me. "Well, then.. You're welcome."

"I'm asking you what did you do to me?"

"I saved your life." She answered. "And how about you? Why are you spying on me in the middle of the night?" she smirked.

"I-I'm not!" I told her

"Come on. Tell me. Did someone asked you a favor to kill me?" She asked. Her voice became deep and serious.

"N-No!" How could she asked me such things? "I -I just heard you singing.." I confessed.

"Hmm.." She crossed her arms like a man. "Well, then.. Would you mind tell me who you are?" She asked.

"I won't." I took my hanbok and walked away from her. Then, I realized why I am here. Maybe the fate did this for me so that I can help her by not getting killed. I turned around and saw her still looking at me. "H-Hey you." I called her. She raised her left eyebrow on me.

"What?" She asked

"Don't marry the princess if you still want to live." I told her. Instead of getting confused of what I've said, she just laughed. "W-Why are you laughing?!" I angrily asked her

"You're spying on me. And now you're telling me not to marry the princess..." she continued laughing. "I guess I know who you are."
