Sakura's Petals
Attacks (2)
The criminal was eventually caught. The two criminals retreated when they found out they had lost. The Crown Prince was about to chase them, but Hyun stopped him. While Seol ran towards Nonanya who was sitting limp on the ground. “Nona is okay?” he said, hugging Nonanya.
The lady shook her head. He nodded as he tried to stand up. Her ankle hurts. But he can still stand, even with a little shuffling.
The Crown Prince walked up to them. Before that, he warned Hyun. “Don't tell me my identity, do you understand?”
Hyun nodded. “Good.”
“Are you okay?” ask the Crown Prince.
Hearing the voice of the man earlier, he looked up. And in the moonlight, he was seen by the most handsome man he had ever seen. It made him startle and blush at the same time. Then he remembered the shape of the lips. This man was the man he had been, he thought. His heart was beating too fast.
The Crown Prince is restless. “Do you have a fever? Your face is red.”
“No, I'm fine.”
Then, the Miss's eyes caught the blood soaking the man's cloak sleeves. He scrunched his forehead. “Master injured.”
“Ah, this. It's just a small wound.” He tried to move his arm. But just like the person who was awakened with ice water, the Crown Prince instantly grimaced in pain. His expression was met with laughter by everyone. After laughing for a moment, Miss directly tore the inside of the chimanya. Then tie it to the Crown Prince's arm. The hearts of both of them beat even more as the two stood close together. “Master should be treated first.” he said. The Crown Prince could only nod.
They walk to a rest stop, while Seol and Hyun try to find a cure. Miss and Crown Prince looked awkward in a room cubicle. The Crown Prince sits on a bed. While Miss is sitting behind the table next to the mattress.
“Thank you.”
Miss smiled blushingly, making the Crown Prince blush as well. “Sama-sama, Mr.”
“What's your name?”
The lady looked surprised, then hesitantly replied, “Shim Hwa Ryong, Mr.”
The Crown Prince smiled. “Don't call me Sir. You were so happy to save me earlier.”
“But..”.
“Already, if you really respect me, just call me Yoon Oppa.”
“Well, Yoon Oppa.” The Crown Prince immediately blushed hearing that.
The Crown Prince nodded. “Take it easy. After my wound you're fat, it's not too painful anymore.”
Then came the food and drink they ordered. A man brought their dining table with him as he occasionally looked towards Hwa Ryong. The Crown Prince noticed it and started glaring. “Please enjoy, Sir, Miss.”
After the man closed the door to the room they had rented, Hwa Ryong immediately brewed tea for the four cups. Feeling nervous about being noticed by the Crown Prince, on the fourth cup, accidentally hot water hit his skin. “Aah.”
The Crown Prince immediately compressed Hwa Ryong's hand with a cloth that had been used to clean his wound, grimacing as his wound returned to pain.
“Take it easy, Sir. I'm fine.”
The Crown Prince sat down again. He's ambushing. “Master? What did I tell you, huh? Call me Oppa. I owe you so much and I ask you not to bother me. Besides, I'm sure our age is not too far.”
“I fourteen years.”
The Crown Prince nodded. “Means we are two years different. If you're fourteen, then you should be engaged to a man, right?”
Hwa Ryong smiled. “Unfortunately, not yet, Oppa.”
“Abiz once. What is your family waiting for? Ah, I got it. Your family must be looking for a really good candidate. I see from the hanbok you wear and the jewelry you wear, you must not be an ordinary noble.”
Hwa Ryong's smile faded slightly and the Crown Prince noticed it. “Actually, I am being prepared to get married, but we are still not engaged.”
The Crown Prince was little jumped. He was confused how to feel. In some ways, he liked the girl he had met no more than a few hours ago. Hwa Ryong's face can not be said to be ugly, even arguably very beautiful even. His courage to help himself earlier was also commendable. Most women will immediately run away or faint once they see the criminal. And the most important thing is that he just realized that his heart since the first meeting was pounding. Even since he saw Hwa Ryong in the market. He's never felt this before.
But according to Hyun's story, pounding because a girl can mean liking or even loving someone. So, is that right, he thought. If it is true, it is certain that this girl should not just let go. First love, who would have thought that he would find it at such a crucial time?
But, hearing Hwa Ryong's reply earlier, the Crown Prince also felt disappointed. He has lost a landslide. Even before starting. Hwa Ryong already has a man who can take care of her.
