Chapter 17: Revelation

November, 8, 1900

Author's POV

Ryujin finally got out of her Parent's bedroom, and is on the way to Beomgyu's office, since Beomgyu called for Ryujin.

***

Ryujin was about to knock on the door, when it suddenly opened, revealing Yeji. Both Yeji and Ryujin had shock expressions on their faces. Ryujin was about to ask where Beomgyu was, since the inside of the office wasn't as chaotic as it should be, when he's there.

But, Yeji read her expression and said it before she can even ask.

"Beomgyu's at the Castle Gardens. He said, he wanted some time alone." Yeji said, and left Ryujin alone.

Ryujin was stunned with what Yeji just said. After a few minutes, Ryujin tried to get what Yeji just said. But, she was still stunned with it.

***

Ryujin, just got out of the shock, that she was just in, and is on the way to the Castle Gardens. Ryujin's running as fast as she can, just to reach the place.

But, to her luck, the Castle Gardens, was at the other side of the Castle. Where she was, standing.

***

Ryujin finally reached the place, But she was out of breathe. Ryujin was taking a break, from running and was looking around the place just for Beomgyu.

Once, Ryujin spotted a familiar blonde haired boy, Ryujin ran up to him. Ryujin was actually still catching her breathe, when Beomgyu noticed her sudden presence.

Beomgyu, looked back and saw a really tired looking Ryujin. Beomgyu, quickly stood up and asked Ryujin to sit down, on the bench which she did. Beomgyu, let her some time since, she did run from the other side of the Castle to the other side.

'She must've run from my office to here...' Beomgyu thought, and smiled a bit.

***

After some time, Ryujin was okay and no longer tired or catching up with her breathes. Ryujin looked over to Beomgyu, and suddenly looked apologetic. Which, Beomgyu quickly noticed.

"Hey. What's the matter?" Beomgyu asked Ryujin, while fixing his self on the bench.

Ryujin, quickly looked down, "I'm sorry..." Ryujin said.

Beomgyu laughed a bit. "For what?" Beomgyu asked.

"For being late..." Ryujin answered Beomgyu.

Beomgyu once again, let out a really big laugh. "Is that it?" Beomgyu asked, as Ryujin pouted and nodded.

Beomgyu laughed. "Seriously, Ryujin. It's fine. It's not like I have other plans today, well I do, but, they can still wait." Beomgyu said.

They were getting a bit off the topic, on why he actually called Ryujin. That is until Ryujin remembered, that she was called and she didn't actually bumped into him. Ryujin, quickly asked Beomgyu for it.

"So, why did you actually call me?" Ryujin asked Beomgyu.

Which, quickly snapped Beomgyu out of his own dream land. "Ah. About that. I just want to ask you, whether you actually had a pen pal, growing up?" Beomgyu asked.

'There... I finally asked her...' Beomgyu thought.

Ryujin was taken aback, by both the question itself and the one that asked. Ryujin was hesitating at first. 'But, what could possibly go wrong right?' Ryujin thought.

"Uh. Yeah. But, we had to stop talking, we'll write that is, to each other. Since, I ran away from my own Kingdom." Ryujin answered.

"But, wait. How do you know this?" Ryujin asked him.

"What if I told you I know your pen pal?" Beomgyu asked. Which surprised Ryujin very much.

"Really?! Where is he? Can I meet him now?" Ryujin asked simultaneously.

"Yeah. About that... He's right beside you. You actually met him. I'm your pen pal, Ryujin. It did take some time, to take it in." Beomgyu said.

Ryujin had her eyes widen because, of the sudden revelation. But, Ryujin quickly shook it off, and hugged Beomgyu. Which, in return it was Beomgyu's turn to be shocked, with the sudden action of the girl.

But, Beomgyu still hugged the girl back, while smiling ear to ear.

Meanwhile, in a distance somebody was busy watching the pair, instead of doing the chores that was assigned to her. Mel, was yet again, busy fangirling about those two.

"They grow up so fast..." Mel said muttering it underneath her breath, as she wiped a fake tear away.
