CHAPTER 16: Spring princess

YOUR POV

PLAY SONG: Nothing Without You by Wanna One

"That flower is really pretty but unfortunately it ended up in the wrong kingdom" Guanlin said making me look at him

I know exactly what he was talking about, but since I have to pretend that I don't have any memories of anything at all, the only thing I can do is look at him and asked

"Why do you look so devastated?" I asked and he sighed

"I know you don't have any idea what is really happening right now, but will you listen to me?" he asked and I gave him a small smile, assuring him that I am fine with it

"I'll always listen" I said and he returns the smile

"When I was a kid, I met a girl" he started, but I already knew that part of the story so instead of giving out a comment I just let him talk and continue his story

"That girl, is my exact opposite, why? Because I am living in somewhere chilly and she's living in a place with flowers" he said looking at the exact flower I was looking at a while ago

"Because I am the cold night and she is the warm day" he said adding some details to that person, but the thing is I already knew her

"I'm in ice and she's in spring" he added

"Is it the spring princess" I said trying to see if we're really in the same page

"Yes, it's her" he said

"Ever since we met each other, we became really close to each other, I was right by her side as she did the same. The two of us are inseparable not even our own parents can separate us. Sure I am a boy and she's a girl, but that didn't stop us from doing the things we like, sure I'm the prince of ice and she's the princess of spring, but that didn't tore us apart, we are best friends" he continued but this time he was looking down

"By the time it was announced that the two of us are going to be queen and kind soon, the two of us are really happy but at the same day I realized that I like her. So even though I am training I always manage to make some time for the two of us and always try to make her feel the feelings I have for her, unfortunately she fall for someone else without noticing the feeling I have for her" he said and all I could do is look at him in sadness, now this is the part of the story that I didn't knew. I thought he was sad because he was afraid to lose a friend but the thing is, he was afraid to lose the girl he loves

"The prince of the Summer is the guy who makes her heart beat really fast, to be honest even though I like Joy I can't remove the fact that they look good with each other, I mean summer and spring are both always next to each other, and let's not forget the fact that they have the same aspects, aspects that's so far from the description of winter, cold and chilly" he continued trying to restrain himself from crying

"Joy was happy with Sungjae so I thought of just letting her go, if she's happy, I'm also happy but what torn me to pieces is to see her walking towards someone that's not me, to see her smile at someone that will never be me, and to spend her whole life to a person that is not me" he said and no matter how he tried to convey his sadness it still shows.

I slowly saw tears falling down and the first thing that came to my mind is hug him and tell him that everything will be alright.

I slowly walk to him and pull him closer to me. I took a hold of his head before making him lean into me, patting his back through the process.

"I-I'm sorry, I do-don't know wh-why I'm act-acting like this, I did-didn't cri-cired the night af-after the marriage bu-but here I am cry-crying infront of you" he said making me embrace him even tighter but enough for him to breath

"It's okay to cry, you don't have to force everything in you, it's okay to let your emotion show, it's not a sin, it's okay to be sad, you don't have to be so perfect, it's okay to be hurt, everyone will have to face that phase in life, it's okay to lean in me, because I'll be here for you" I said making him cry even more, did I make everything worse.

I suddenly stiffen by the thought of making him cry even more but soften once again when I felt his arms around my waist. He cried on my shoulder like a kid, I can tell that this man here in my embrace hasn't cried in years, he must be holding a lot inside him.

"Shhh its okay, I'm here don't worry" I said comforting him for the past 10 minutes already

"Wi-will it rea-really be?" he asked looking at me, his eyes puffy from all the crying he just did

"I'm sure it'll be, Joy isn't the only person that you'll love, there are many other person out there you just have to open your heart to others as you set one go" I said placing my hand on his cheeks to wipe the tears that just rolled down from his eyes

"I'll put my tr-trust on you" he said like what I told him earlier

"Then I'm honored that a prince trust me" I joked giving a smile which he gladly returns

"Now my dear sir, shall we go home now? It's getting pretty much dark already" I suggested and he nods

"Okay" he said finally letting go

"Cheer up okay?" I said and he just nodded

"I'll try" he said but I shook my head

"Don't just try, do it" I said with a smile plastered on my face

"Okay if you say so" he said before the two of us head our way back home
