Sakura's Petals
Prince Yunti

“You look so grim tonight.”

Hwa Ryong who decided to go out first after dinner, was aghast for a moment before then sighing. He looked back at the stars in the sky with his head turned up.

“Did something happen while I was away?” ask Yunti.

Hwa Ryong nodded. “Nothing, Oppa. I'm just frustrated with my father's care now.” he said, using informal language when he found out Yunti had come alone.

“Custody?” repeat Yunti, while positioning yourself next to Hwa Ryong. He looked at Hwa Ryong with a puzzled look.

Hwa Ryong nodded. “Iya.” He then turned his head and pointed towards the back of the warehouse behind where he was standing. “There are about four people there.” Then he pointed towards the bushes to the east of the house. “And three people there.”

Yunti squinted his eyes for three seconds, tried to find evidence, then laughed amusedly. “Wow. I'm really gobsmacked. You haven't changed. Your eagle's instincts and eyes are second to none. Are you really not interested in becoming a war commander?”

“If only I could become a commander, I would truly be grateful. Don't be a commander, so even the front-row soldiers I want. Origin is not like this, caged in the house.”

Yunti was flabbergasted at Hwa Ryong's reply. “While, usually you will scold me for thinking you are like a man, then chase me around the yard, and throw one of your shoes at me.”

Hwa Ryong glanced at him sharply. “Not the time to joke, Oppa. I'm really frustrated.”

Yunti's face turned serious. “I heard that you disappeared, and were taken care of in the palace for a few days. Actually, what happened?”

Hwa Ryong's face softened, he also told of the incident that night. Including about the Minister of Personnel, but certainly not about the feelings he recorded with the Minister of Personnel.

“Lantas, what makes you feel objected to this care? You must have been quite upset back then and didn't want to experience it again, right?”

Hwa Ryong blushed. “I, I'm just not comfortable. Besides, there's something I have to do outside the house. And this is really urgent. With the guard as it is now, it is difficult for me to be able to get out of the house without anyone knowing.”

“Why not take a bodyguard to drive you?”

“Ah, the. If Mom knew who I wanted to meet, she would definitely not let me go.”

Yunti. “Indeed who do you want to meet?”

Hwa Ryong was silent for a moment. What the hell was he thinking, he thought. Yunti is my future husband, can I worry about the other man in front of him? What kind of woman am I, she said in her heart. “I can't tell Oppa. Sorry.”

They fell silent, before Hwa Ryong opened his mouth. “The night was really cold. Come on in and rest. Oppa must be tired.” He then walked back to his room.

Yunti remained silent in his place. He looked at the stars in the sky, agitated. “Who is he? Don't-don't... man?” Yunti.

THE NEXT DAY

“Nona? Miss?” call Seol, slow down. But when she found her room empty, her throat choked for a moment before half-screaming, calling back to her master. “Nona?! Miss?!”

“Nona. Miss disappeared again, Mrs.”

Madam Shim immediately fell down. The servants who had been following him from behind caught him immediately before hitting the ground. While Seol bit his finger, thinking hard where he could find his nona.

ON MARKET

Hwa Ryong smiled widely, as his feet managed to set foot in the market. There were not many people in the market, considering that he left home in the early hours of the morning. There are still many shops that are not open. Fortunately, the cake shop is open.

“Please two packs of rice cake, Mistress.”

Shortly after, he reached a hill, which showed a view of the palace and the beach in the distance.

Hwa Ryong who was sitting under the sakura tree, started to open his packet of cake and ate it slowly while enjoying the scenery.

The seconds, minutes, and hours went by so quickly. As it approached noon, no one appeared. Hwa Ryong also walked towards the market road. At the same time, a bodyguard suddenly appeared from the turn of the market alley. He immediately ran and hid behind a large rock on the hill.

“Nona! Missis! You should go home soon. The madam is sick with anxiety waiting for Miss to come home. Missis! Miss!” shouted the guards.

Shortly after, there was the sound of another step. This time it was a familiar voice. Seol's Voice. “Do you guys find it?” The bodyguard must have shaken so Seol replied. “What should we do? You, quickly lead the army east. Me and the other bodyguards will search the west. We need to find her quickly, you understand? I'm afraid Miss will encounter difficulties as it used to.” The sound of footsteps was heard away afterwards.

Hwa Ryong sighed in relief. After a few times I looked outside. He sat under the cherry tree.

“Why hasn't it come yet?” sigh, slowly.

Hwa Ryong began to reach into his pocket, taking out a small box-shaped package. He opened the ribbon knot, took out a handkerchief from the paper package inside. The embroidery of the phoenix was bright red with a golden complexion that looked so beautiful in its soft green cloth. He sighed again and started wrapping it again.

The middle of the day began to change in the afternoon. Hwa Ryong was getting restless. “Is it in the wrong place?”

Hwa Ryong circled the market, looking for another hill that had sakura trees. But after three searches, he did not find it. He sat down under the cherry tree, waiting.

Evening changed night and many things passed through his mind. Has Oppa forgotten our promise? Am I overconfident in believing that he will actually come? Am I the only one who thinks this day is important? Slowly, Hwa Ryong's tears trickled down.
