Episode 6: Fun In Seoul And The Talk About The Prince

After Seonho got changed, he and his best friend Song Hyun said goodbye to Dong Wook and his friends and they left.

“Hyo Eun, what’s wrong with you?!” asked Dong Wook as he looked at her.

“Yeah! Why are you like that to those below you?” asked Jeong Hoon.

“You may be rich in money but you’re poor in respect to others!” said Seung Ryong.

She didn’t answer but only looked at the floor.

“Hyo Eun, Seonho never did anything to you but, because of what you did to him, you might lose the respect everyone is giving you. Without respect for others, there’s no respect for you.” What Joon Se said really made her feel bad but at the same time angry at Seonho and Song Hyun.

Back to the two best friends…

“So, where are we meeting the others then?” he asked.

“Well, how about in front of the statue of King Sejong the Great then?” said Song Hyun.

“Araseo! I’ll call them now then… Yoboseyo? Mu-ryong!”

“Oh! Seonho! Hae-young just called! So where are we meeting?”

He told him their meeting place.

“Okay then! Hye Mi’s getting changed already. I’ll call Hae-young then.”

“Sure! Bye and see you then!... So, let’s go now!”

The two best friends walked towards the bus station and boarded one which was heading to Jongno-gu. They were currently at Gangnam-gu.

A little later, they finally arrived at the bus station near Gyeongbok Palace in Jongno-gu. They went near the statue of King Sejong the Great and waited for their friends. Finally, they came.

“So, where do we go then?” asked Hae-young.

“Yeah! I’m excited for today!” said Hye Mi.

“Well, my Oppa said we should enjoy the rest of the day so let’s go!” said Song Hyun.

“YEAH!”

From that point on, the group did nothing but enjoyed themselves!

They went to N Seoul Tower first where they saw the entire city of Seoul, then it was off to Myeongdong where the girls did some shopping while they had the boys carrying what they bought, went to COEX Mall for some more fun, had lunch in their favorite restaurant and then, they spent the rest of the afternoon at Seoul Forest and lastly, by the Han River at sunset.

While sitting at its grassy banks, the 5 friends talked about a lot of stuff until Mu-Ryong mentioned that day’s event.

“Yeah, we also did the five minute silence. It was very sad indeed.” said Hye Mi.

“Oh by the way, Hae-young, why weren’t you with your brother at the ceremony a while ago? I was looking for you.” asked Song Hyun.

“Ah well, I had some things to take care of so I wasn’t able to come.” replied Hae-young.

“I see. Come to think of it guys, do you think Imperial Prince Tae Hoon is still alive? I mean, is he really in another country or is it possible he’s here in Korea?” asked Seonho.

“Maybe, I guess.” said Mu-Ryong.

“But the one who kidnapped him hasn’t been found so I guess it’s more likely that the Prince is in another country.” said Hye Mi.

“It’s just sad. His disappearance was the main cause of Empress Haewon’s death. Before she died, she was said to have appealed many times to the public so that the kidnapper surrenders himself. The whole world was watching and the UN even made a worldwide search but, they didn’t find him or the Prince.” What Hae-young said made the group more sad but at the same time, curious.

“I wonder, will we see him again?” Seonho asked as he and the others looked at the setting sun.
