'Is everything ready?'

'Yes sir. The boat is also ready sir.'

Wonho walks quickly along the beach, going towards the pier. He can finally leave after making sure all the loose ends are rid of.

After all, a secret can be kept a secret if only one person knowing the truth is alive.

The middle aged man makes it to the pier, even seeing the boat to his freedom, but then, he hears the sound of a gun loading.

'Where do you think you're fucking going?'

The servant turns around and reaches to take out a weapon himself, but is shot dead immediately in the head.

'You finally found me, well done.' Wonho says with a sadistic smile. 'But at what cost?'

'I know you're not stupid, what are you planning? Why are you here?' Jennie asks, suspicious of the man.

'Don't you want to ask me why your father had to die?' Wonho says with a smirk.

'Go on then, if you want to tell me so eagerly.' Jennie says as she stays cautious.

Wonho smiles.

'You know why your mother left him? His business failed. Your mother was just a gold digger, and when he lost everything important to her, she freaking left him.'

'I don't care about that, tell me why you fucking killed him!' Jennie shouts and shoots at him, grazing his cheek as he purposely missed his head.

'Your father was in debt. And I ordered him to kill the first prince.'

Jennie gulps.

This wasn't the truth she was expecting.

'He just couldn't do it. His little pussy ass flaked out on his chance of redemption. He couldn't kill a fucking person to save his and your life. What a selfish dad huh? He's a coward after all.' Wonho finishes and starts laughing.

'Shut the fuck up.' Jennie says and shoots at the man's leg.

'Ah fuck!' Wonho groans and grabs at his left thigh.

'Tell me what you're planning.' Jennie orders sternly, with a emotionless face. It's the moment she's been waiting for.

Now that she has her explanation, she's ready to kill him once and for all.

'Oh I don't know. What do you think I want after my plans have failed? I'm not going to leave peacefully.' Wonho says, enduring the pain in his thigh.

'Stop with the chatter. Tell me or I'll shoot your other leg.'

'Why so impatient my dear Jennie?' He says with a smirk.

Jennie pulls the trigger without hesitation. The man groans in pain again, now falling onto his knees.

'Fuck!'

'Tell me what you're fucking planning!' Jennie shouts and the man just laughs.

'I don't think you should shoot anymore, you might accidentally shoot me in the wrong place.'

Jennie frowns in confusion, but then spots a little wire poking out of the man's coat. Her eyes widen in shock.

'JEN!'

She turns to see familiar faces running towards her, one that she hoped she wouldn't see here after spotting the tattooed man's plan.

'Stay away!' Jennie shouts before launching to push the wounded man into the water with her body flying off the pier as well.

'NO JEN!'

The water below the pier explodes up into the air as the man explodes into the water. The group falls back due to the impact, startled by the sudden explosion.

'No...'

Seonghwa runs to the side of the pier. Jennie fell in with him, but he couldn't see any shadows in the water.

'Your highness!'

Seonghwa doesn't hesitate to jump in. He swims deeper, but sees no sign of the girl. He feels like just drowning himself.

He didn't save her.

He feels like his whole world is about to crumble, when a hand reaches for his. He looks up to see a boat, and someone reaching out from it to grab him.

The hand drags him up, and he is immediately greeted with Jennie's face inches from him.

'This is the second time I'm saving you from the waters.' Jennie says and smiles in relief.

She pulls Seonghwa out of the water and into the small boat. The prince immediately pulls the petite girl into his arms.

'Thank god... I really hate you.' Seonghwa says.

'You love me really-'

Seonghwa lets go and crashes his lips into the girl's, stopping her from speaking. He kisses her hard, like she's going to disappear any moment.

'You're right, I fucking love you.' Seonghwa says as their lips separate unwillingly, their foreheads touching.

'Are we just gonna stay on here while the others watch?' Jennie asks and Seonghwa turns to see the others watching amusingly.

'Ew that's gross you two! Get a room!' Jongho shouts.

Jennie chuckles as she finally feels relieved. It's all over, she did it. She stopped everything.

This time, she didn't lose anyone she loves.

'Let's get back before you catch a fever.' Jennie says and smiles at the prince, who is refusing to let go of the girl.

'If you run away from me again, I'm-'

Jennie kisses the prince this time, disturbing his sentence.

'Let's save it for later, I'm cold, hungry and tired. I don't want to hear you nagging me.'
