Sleeping Beauty's
Destinies

Being a prisoner was a little boring, but I was lucky to be able to freely explore the castle. I call it a castle, because it is a good place like a royal castle. Actually I was their prisoner to lure Seonghwa and San. But on the other hand, I am the brother of one of their members. That's why I was released here, actually I could have escaped. But why run away if someone's gonna pick me up.

Of the five men in the white dragon, only Xion seems to be friendly. He told me about what really happened between the red dragon and the white dragon.

Hwanwoong was once stuck in a love triangle with San and a girl, it happened while they were studying at a khsusu school. Actually, the woman already has an official relationship with Hwanwoong, even though only dating. But who would have thought, it seems that the woman changed her mind and so fell in love with San. Then did San and the woman get into a relationship? I don't know I don't know. There was one word that Xion said to me, that word kept ringing in my head since then. Actually the originator of the word is not Xion, the originator is Hwanwoong himself.

“Once working two avenged grudges.”

If taking revenge on San by kidnapping me might make sense, but wouldn't I be taken back later? I feel like I want to laugh, is it possible that they deliberately did this to provoke the red dragon party to apologize? Xion says, Leedo also has a grudge against Seonghwa, it has to do with Leedo's younger sister named Yeji.

Because of those two grudges I became a prisoner.

Right now I'm upstairs, it looks like there's a guest down there. I thought the guest was Kak Kino, but it didn't seem. I was surprised when the guest's face started to be detected by my eyes, she Wooyoung said. The boy was indeed no longer considered in the red dragon, because of the betrayal he committed. I can't believe he's all part of the white dragon.

Because the walls that make their voices echo, and also because the quiet atmosphere of the house makes me able to listen to what they are talking about. Wooyoung came to represent Kak Kino, it turns out that where I am right now is not home. But this place was indeed their castle, so members were free to enter and exit freely.

With all my courage following Wooyoung, I wanted to talk to her about Kak Kino. But my steps stopped, because Hwanwoong pulled my hand.

“Why?” I immediately threw a question at him.

“It's natural for us if we are afraid our captives are off.” She smiled sweetly while releasing her handrails.

“We have given you the freedom of a guest, you better take advantage of that!” Said Leedo, his big voice almost made me unable to catch what he said.

“Saena-ya, I'll take you back to room.” Xion extended his hand to me.

Of course Wooyoung spent the night here, I met him at dinner. He was a little surprised to see me, but he didn't say anything to me.

I couldn't sleep and was still awake, my mind was floating. The memory of Seonghwa getting flowers made me feel bad. Wait, if you're talking about flowers, it looks like I'm left in Hongjoong's car. But of course the flower will wither.

Then is everyone looking for me right now? I don't think I can think at all.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Who knocked on the door last night? It's almost in the middle of the night. I went up and immediately opened the door, my eyes wide open looking at Wooyoung who was standing before me at this moment.

“Close with me, I want to show you something.” He pulled my hand.

The main lights have all gone out, at this time illuminating each room is a candle perched on top of a classic place. I continued to walk after Wooyoung, I deliberately did not wear footwear so that my steps did not sound. The castle was too wide and too dark, my eyes were unable to detect any room we passed.

But surely Wooyoung took me to the basement, where there are a lot of prisons. Wooyoung took me to one of the prisons, where there was a young man I didn't know. His name is Joonyoung, Wooyoung says Joonyoung is his best friend. Wooyoung also said that if Joonyoung is a member of the red dragon that disappeared, he has long been held captive by the white dragon party.

During this time Wooyoung betrayed because only he knew of Joonyoung's whereabouts, perhaps if there was no Kino's sister. Wooyoung would not be able to infiltrate the white dragon party, as he was a member of the red dragon.

Joon-young was once stuck in a love triangle with Yeji and Seonghwa, which is why he was in this dungeon. Seonghwa has been betrothed to Yeji by her parents, but Joon-young breaks her. Yeji is in love with Juniyoung, someone's feelings can naturally change.

“I'm not sure our plan will work, because they already have a plan of their own.” Wooyoung looks very desperate.

“You should not care about me, because in fact there will be no way if you are stuck here.” Joonyoung.

“Is this partly a plan to force Seonghwa to marry Yeji?” I asked without hesitation, my focus could be disrupted if I did not ask that question.

“I don't know, for sure they won't let go of all of us who have been involved in this.” The answer Joonyoung gave me didn't calm down.

“You'd better take Saena back to her room, it'll be dangerous if one of them finds out about this.” Joonyoung has a point. Finally we left the prison, strangely there were no guards around.

“Is the prison no guard safe?” I thought, it seems Wooyoung could easily take Joonyoung away.

“It's not that easy, I've tried it. But I failed.” Hearing Wooyoung's words, it seems that I should not underestimate this castle.

When we reached my room, we were almost caught by Leedo. Luckily Wooyoung found a very effective hiding place and my brain is still one hundred percent active. I can still reason to go to the bathroom.

 ~~~

The Yeji they were talking about all this time was the girl who met Seonghwa, whom I saw with my own eyes snatching the flower that was supposed to be mine. I found out, because this morning he came to visit the castle. He is Leedo's younger brother, so he has the freedom to do anything in the castle. Including what he was doing at the moment, accompanying me sat down to relax in the garden.

“So you're San's half-sister?” He was still asking that, maybe this was the tenth time Yeji had repeated the question. I only responded with a nod accompanied by a smile.

“So you're also Ravn's cousin?” He didn't know if I was in this castle as a prisoner. All he knows is that I'm in this castle, because I'm Ravn's cousin or Kino's sister. Early this morning Leedo gave me a warning, to keep everything a secret about why I was in this castle.

“Until when will you keep asking that?” I sniggered, trying to warm my heart.

Yeji's existence makes me want to disappear from this earth, because his arrival is my destiny to change. Leedo asked me to let Seonghwa go with Yeji, he wanted to bring things back to the way they were. I just found out if Yeji is Seonghwa's lover, indirectly they are both still tied up until now.

Then me, I'm Seonghwa's fiancee. But maybe from the beginning I should have retreated, of course Seonghwa must still have feelings for Yeji. It's not fair, but from the start, isn't this what I've chosen. So anyway I have to accept it.

Leedo says I will be betrothed to Joonyoung, you could say we are both bullies in the relationship of Yeji and Seonghwa. But without us maybe the two of them wouldn't have met again, which is why Leedo and the others thanked us in a way to match the two of us.

Honestly, I really mind. But on the other hand I also have to be self-conscious, in the position where I am standing right now.

“Is something bothering you?” I immediately shook my head.

“Is there anything that makes you nervous?” He asked back.

“I feel a little unwell.” Reply origin.

Yeji frantically invited me inside the castle, she chattered like Lady Choi used to. Look even this is the first time we met, but he's been this good to me. My heart warms, isn't Yeji a good woman? Of course I will try to release Seonghwa for her sake.

“Saena-ya, looking forward to having a new friend you so forget me.” Me and Yeji were surprised to see Joonyoung standing a meter away from us.

“Yeji–ya, it has been a long time we did not meet.” Joonyoung greets Yeji very kindly. Yeji himself is confused.

“Mana Seonghwa? When are you getting married? Saena and I are waiting for an invitation from both of you.” It feels like my heart is burning to hear what Joonyoung said. It seems that Joon Young was deliberately released to complete their plan. Their plan unites Yeji and Seonghwa.

“Of course I would think twice to marry haha.” Yeji's laughter sounded bland.

“As for you, it's time for Saena to be with me.” Joonyoung grabbed my hand gently. We walked away from Yeji.

True to my guess, Joonyoung was deliberately released to complement the scenario.

“What are your feelings for Seonghwa?” Ask Juniyoung to me.

“Neither, all this time I was by his side because of an incident.” Should I tell Junyoung the truth?

“What does that mean you have to be with him?” Joonyoung's question made me shake my head.

“You need to know, I am not a child. I have a biological family that will happily open the door when I get home.” Of course, why would I be on Seonghwa's side? To me it's just a waste of time.

“What will you do to keep Seonghwa?” Is this an interview? Why has Joon-young been talking about Seonghwa non-stop?

“What should I do if it turns out Seonghwa is still expecting Yeji?” I answered him with a question that instantly made Joonyoung speechless.
