Our Time [ChaeSoo]

Chapter 5

1986

Park Chaeyoung's Point of View:
I'm currently waiting for the Princess in the side of the river, i can say that this place become our own. As i wait for her my thoughts drifted to her position and situation, as she have previously said, being a Princess is hard. Having a lot of responsibilities that I can't even imagine.

When I'm with her i can see her struggles. That look on her eyes that seems so tired. Though when she's spending her time with me i can see that she's trying to conceal her sadness, but sorry for her because i already memorize all of her expression.

Kim Jisoo, her name that scream perfection.

I know she tried getting her freedom by begging her father. But she knows that she can't really get her freedom if she doesn't sacrifice something. I'm actually willing to sacrifice my everything to run away with her, for us to get our freedom. But being the softhearted she is, i know that she can't abandoned her own people.

And that's the reason why she can't do anything to get her freedom. She can do something but choose to do nothing for the sake of the empire. Which is admirable for a Princess.

"Chaeng!" My thoughts cutted off when she called my name.

There she is, my Princess.

She widely smile at me, waving her hand.

I faked frown, "You're late, Your Highness."

She immediately went near me, trying to coax me, "Aww. Sorry for being late my Princess, but lately it's hard to escape from the palace guards." she explained as she laugh.

Hard? Why? It's their security is more tight now?

"Don't you think the King already know about us, Princess?" I calmly asked.

She look at me worriedly after hearing what i said. "I don't know, maybe yes. I can't still figure them out but i already noticed that someone's following me."

I look at her seriously before letting out a sighed. She already know but still keep on visiting me, this Princess of mine like me so much i guess.

"Be careful, Princess. We can't risk our position." i seriously uttered, "we should not see each other for some time." i said, she gasped and look at me widened eyes.

"What? Are you serious?" She asked.

I nodded "of course i'm serious, I don't joke things about this, also I have a hunch that your father, the King, already knew about what happening between us. After all they're not blind." i explained as leaned closer to her.

That time i felt like there's an eyes watching me is not a hallucinations after all. Things where getting hard.

She nodded before leaning to my shoulder, "Okay...but we can still keep in touch, right?" She hopefully asked.

I smile, "of course, Princess. You can just send a letter to me through one of your maid in the palace and don't get caught." i said as i encircled my arms around her, hugging her.

"I will miss you." she sadly whispered, whining.

"I will miss you too. But it's for the better. I can endure this much." i uttered and kissing her hair.

It's better not seeing you for the mean time than losing you for a life time.

How i wish that it will last forever.
