Run"Alright, so we've found the key. Now, all we need to find is the treasure chest. So, where can we find a treasure chest under a basement?"
Shinyoung asked as she watched her brother paced back and forth. Seungkwan was eager to find that treasure box and see what was inside it. Shinyoung suggested the castle's underground but obviously it wouldn't be there because there was literally nothing down there except prisoners. He was sure that there was no such thing as a hidden chamber down there.
"Why can't we find the chest first, then the key? It'll be easier because we can actually break the chest open without a key and mystery solved!" Shinyoung exclaimed. "Yes, but how are we going to hide a chest from the knights?" Seungkwan asked her back and Shinyoung kept quiet as she rambled about her defeat. Why didn't she think of that?
"Seungkwan, " Shinyoung called for her brother and he raised his eyebrows. "When are Mother and Father returning?" she asked, she missed them already although she was sure it had only been a few days. "They should return by tomorrow, if everything went fine." Seungkwan answered as he recalled his parents' faces. How he wished he could actually tell them what he and Shinyoung were doing, but he couldn't put them at risk.
After a while, Shinyoung left Seungkwan to rest as he was exhausted from the walk and also from all the work the King left for him to complete. She exited his room and walked down the hallway, heading towards who knows where. She was bored of the palace, she had seen each and every part of it. None of it interest her anymore, she wanted to do something to keep her occupied.
She wasn't left with much duties like Seungkwan, she always had the easy ones as her parents lack of trust in her. She didn't object, she had to listen and prove to them at the same time. Shinyoung then grabbed her one and only drawing block as she started sketching again. She sat at the same spot as last time's and started drawing a wolf.
It was a grey wolf, the colour of wolf that attacked her. She couldn't let go of that scene, she wanted to know who it was. She was torn between two males whom had the same injury but on different sides. If only she remembered which side it was, she wouldn't have to feel this kind of way. A part of her wanted to believe it was Mingyu, but a part of her couldn't as he never shown any traits of hatred towards her.
"I know you're there, don't even try scaring me."
Shinyoung voiced, she knew someone was there although the identity was unknown but someone was at the balcony waiting to surprise her. "How did you know?" Shinyoung heard him speaking, she recognised the voice immediately as Seungcheol's. "I'm used to it." Shinyoung answered whilst finishing her sketch. It was almost done
