A/N Hello dearies ^_^ I'm here with a new story. Thought I would start this on this special occasion.

It's James' birthday as well as mine ♥

So what other reason do you need to start a story with RP?

 

PS The order of the characters above don't mean their importance in the story.

I just kept them in their age order (older to younger) haha XD

 

Started On: 9th June, 2016

I do not own any of the pictures.

I do not own our lovely Royal Pirates.

The pair is a fictional girl and I sure own her :P haha :D

I duly credit the rightful owners for the pictures.

 

Special Thanks to kimitimi poster shop ^_^

 

 

And most importantly, if this plot resembles any other story

then please do let me know so that I can change the plot

I am sure it would have been purely coincidental.

 

Last but not least, I thank all my possible readers in advance ^_^

Please subscribe and comment.

Love you all ♥

Foreword

Why am I pretending not to love, even when it's harder?

Is it to protect the one I love?

Or am I just protecting myself from getting hurt?

What would you do if you were in my place?

Guys, it's been nearly a month since my last note and I still haven't made an update. I'm really sorry about that. I had my surgery just last week and in recovery now. So I couldn't really sit and work on the next chapter yet. Hope you all can understand. I'm extremely sorry about the delay.

Chapter 47: i teared up at the end ♡ i liked how this chapter had such positive progress, and there was no unnecessary drama from Sooyoon's parents, I always love to see such supportive family members, it really warms my heart ;;; and how Sooyoon proposed was really ♡ and Mijin being pregnant & Jiwoong haha, they really are so cute together! There's so much else, all the big and lil things, that I can't properly or possibly mention but have to say that this chapter was fulfilling to say the least! Although, I really hoped to see a bit more on James, like if not a full-fledged part about him but a little tidbit about how he'd going on about his life from here onwards... even Moon! I know that it could be kinda obvious and I also agree it is good enough to be left to the reader's imagination but what to do they are my faves here :P This is certainly not a complaint but just me pining about those two cuties lol



Anyways... moving on to our star couple... they really are precious! What really got me was the change in Joo Eun's nature/behavior... like a couple of chapters (?) back, she was really emotional and her thoughts and worries were so self-restrained, I really liked how the enlistment and the overall progression of their relationship from that previous point to here have brought her out of her self-restrained behavior, as in, although she was angry when Sooyoon was hugged by Hye Jin, but she didn't linger on it by thinking of Sooyoon's situation, part and fault in it. It was so subtly implied, I really liked how you just left that change flow into the plot itself instead of explaining it :3 Also, though all those parts about Sooyoon wanting to "escape" after the proposal, so funny xD But even in the jokes it's so apparent how much he loves Joo Eun, and how patient and understanding he is (actually both are of each other's competencies & flaws). They certainly match together so well, and what's the best part about it is that it wasn't this perfect when their relationship started out. You've shown them grow, commit mistakes and then learn from them and then become stronger, better for each other ♡



This really was such an amazing story! I understand how hard it is to be so invested in a story and the amount of effort that goes into making every chapter happen! I am really grateful that you put in such efforts and didn't give up on it despite of everything! I thoroughly enjoyed it-- each and every word ♡ Tysm for this beautiful story!!!!! and I look forward to the new stories you might have in your mind for us ♡♡♡

Chapter 46: Aw I am happy to see that they aren't apart for the entire of Sooyoon's time in the army. These meet ups are really important for their relationship and for themselves individually, I could feel how both of them were so anxious of being apart and meeting even for a bit reassured them so much. This chapter was really precious, from Joo Eun's friends and James coming over, Mijin and Jiwoong dating(how cutee) Joo learning how to cook thinking about Sooyoon and finally when they briefly met... It was lovely ❤️

Chapter 45: Yay! I am happy that Joo Eun got better. The whole part with Moon and James was so precious. I totally agree with James, no one is worth ruining your own life like this hehe. And the end in which both Joo Eun and Sooyoon are doing their best in their own ways while they wait for each other... awww ♡ Even though you say it was a filler, it was such an important chapter portraying how Joo Eun overcame the absence of Sooyoon and then deciding to proceed and do best with her life too. I enjoyed reading it! Tysm for the update ♡♡♡

Chapter 44: Joo Eun acted a bit selfish here, imo. But she's in pain and Moon and James will hopefully guide her and comfort her until Sooyoon is back. It was a nice chapter, cannot wait for more! ❤️❤️❤️

Chapter 43: the bag of presents and the way Sooyoon professed his love ;;; ahh it was so sweet and precious ♡ it was so sad they had to part but I am also so glad that it wasn't on bad terms and they sorted everything out before his enlistment and are going to stay together. They seriously are so cute and even James ♡♡ I am excited for what happens next ^^ ♡
