Chapter 07: Warning for her

Ryujin's POV

I was walking towards the infirmary, since I still had to change out of that stupid gown. Of course, since I'm one of the people who like to look around while walking. And I didn't see where I was going. I bumped into something. No, somebody.

I looked in front of just to see, Hyunjin. Or maybe Prince Hyunjin? I stood, up and fixed myself, before helping him up. After helping him up, I was about to leave, when he suddenly grabbed me and turned me around.

"Ryujin. We need to talk." He said, with seriousness in his voice.

I felt somebody was staring at me, so I looked around, using my peripheral vision. And what I saw is something I can't unsee. I saw Beomgyu looking at us or maybe watching us, since it kind of feels like that.

"Okay. I'm fine with it. Just, please let's talk here." I said, making my own condition.

"Yeah, sure." He said, totally agreeing with it.

"So, what do we need to talk about?" I asked him, bringing out my coldest glare.

"If you're thinking that I'm still going to court you, then you're wrong." He said, which made me look at him confused

"What do you mean?" I asked him, tilting my head to the side. But, I kind of am getting agitated with the fact that we're still talking about this.

"Yep. You heard me right. I won't and will no longer court you." He said, making my eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

"Wait, what made you change your mind?" I asked him.

"The last time I checked, you we're still head over heels for me." I said.

"Yeah. But, you know people also change. And it has been years, ever since I last talked to you." He said.

"Namely, seven years." He said.

"And back then. You still had black hair. Now, you have pink hair." He said, while looking and touching my short hair.

"Okay?" I said.

"Is that all?" I asked him, while raising an eyebrow.

'Please make it a "yes."' I thought, praying for it to happen.

"Not exactly..." He said, with a kind of sad tone. I looked at him puzzled.

"Huh? What do you mean? 'Not exactly'?" I asked him.

I was practically making a list of things that he can say, to prepare myself mentally. But, what he said didn't make any sense. At all.

"I mean, be careful of Minju... She isn't what you think she is..." He said, before leaving me alone.

Leaving me all alone with my thoughts, about what he just said. I mean, I don't get any of it. Well, I do get the point that he doesn't want to court me. But, Princess Minju? Now, that one is actually something I can't understand.

Aren't they like adoptive siblings or what not? Then, why are they like that? Shouldn't they be nice to each other? Shouldn't they be like me and Yuna? Why are they like that? They're like as if somebody stole something from them, and decided to ruin each other's picture.

Before, totally getting lost in my thoughts, I looked over to where I last I saw Beomgyu, but I didn't see him anymore.

I sighed, before walking away, from the scene. "Yah! Ryujin!" Somebody shouted, and it made me stop on my tracks. But, after waiting for something to happen, nothing did. So, I decided to leave that person alone.

The next update might be a big update. Since, this will be the last update for the book, in the mean time. Since, tomorrow I have school and things to do. That is if I can contain myself from updating the book.
