Feelings

My Bodyguard Princess

"I'll miss you hyunggggg!!!!" Sehun wailed as he waved. "I'll ditch my status as a prince and swim over to China to visit you guys!"

Luhan chuckled, amused and ruffled his favorite dongsaeng's hair. "I'll miss you too." he smiled sadly. "I don't want to go either. But I don't think it's such a good idea to swim to China, Sehun. You'll drown, knowing you."

Sehun pouted and sulked, sad that his hyungs were leaving. Kai sighed and ruffled Sehun's hair as well. "We'll see them soon." he assured. "Not swim of course, but maybe grab a boat or something."

Sehun smiled at his hyung. "Hmm! Arraso!"

"Do you think you guys could really come over to China?" Chen asked. "I want to show you my pet rabbit Suho." he grinned.

"HEY!!!" Suho frowned.

Xiumin nodded. "We want to let you guys try the famous xiao long bao and dim sums too." he grinned. "I promise it doesn't lose out to your korean delicacies."

Baekhyun sighed. "I'm sorry the two weeks passed so quickly." he muttered. "I'll miss you guys."

The EXO princes engaged in a massive group hug, squishing each other and began to pile on top of Kris and Suho which were the two unlucky people who got stuck in the bottom.

"We'll miss you too, Byul!" Lay waved. Tao nodded with smile. "Next time you come to china, I'll beat you in martial arts for sure!" he yelled.

The carriages drove off and the princes continued waving until the EXO-M princes were out of sight. Chanyeol sighed. "Man. I'm already missing their company." he muttered.

"We'll see them again soon." Suho assured.

 

 

 

The EXO-K princes regained their usual activities before the EXO-M princes came. But there was a certain empty feeling in their lives that was supposed to be filled by their great pals in China. They often talked about their EXO-M princes and wrote letters over to China together, sending it off with lots of hearts.

As life regained it's usual pace, Byul couldn't help but notice the little changes in her reactions towards Baekhyun.

When she woke up in the morning, she would want to start work as Baekhyun's bodyguard as soon as possible so she could see him. When he smiled at her, her heart did little jumps and skips like a giggling fangirl. When Baekhyun talked to her, she found that she couldn't exactly concentrate on what he was talking about as opposed to trying not to blush.

What was happening to her? Something was dreadfully dreadfully wrong!

Byul didn't know what she was feeling and she began feeling a little insecure. This feeling she was experiencing was something she never felt before, this certain attraction to a particular male. This attraction that seemed to make this male different from all the others, and thus her reaction to him as well.

Byul bit her lip, wondering what this was about. She noticed how Baekhyun didn't obssess about Dahae so much as he did before now, and he smiled more in her company. And she was grateful for that.

And not to mention extremely delighted.

Byul mentally smacked herself for thinking that. *How can you think this way, Han Eunbyul? You're supposed to be wishing for Ddong-ha and Dahae gongju to be happy together since that's what he wants right?*

But somehow everytime she saw Baekhyun and Dahae together, there was this hurt in her heart. She replayed the scene in the kimchi storeroom together with Baekhyun, the scene where he told her she might actually place value in love more than she realized. Did she really?

"Yah. Why are you blanking out?" Baekhyun waved his hand in front of her.

Byul jumped, startled, which was completely unlike her behavior because the Han Eunbyul in the past would NEVER zone out long enough to be startled. She regained her calm and looked at her. "Yeah?"

Baekhyun looked at her amusedly and nudged her forehead with his finger. "You're acting weird Han Eunbyul." he laughed. "Never thought I'd see you behaving so oddly." he commented. He raised his brows at her. "Don't tell me...." he leaned towards her and Byul fell her face heating up despite her own will.

"Menopause?" Baekhyun whispered seriously.

Byul's eyes widened and she whacked his head hard. "DDONG-HA!"

Baekhyun burst into laughter while massaging his head. "Omo! Did you even see your face that was priceless!" he chuckled. He made a face slightly and rubbed his sore head. "And you didn't need to hit me so hard you know! Always the strong hulk you."

"But menopause?" Byul made a face.

Baekhyun laughed again. "Don't act so tough Han Eunbyul, or you'll become a spinster and no guy wants you. No one wants a wife who's stronger than they are." he joked.

Even though it was clearly a joke, Byul felt her hearts sinking. She made a bad wife? It was insane for her to feel upset because she hadn't even thought of getting into a relationship before. And now the thought of not being a good wife upset her? What's her problem?

"Hey." Baekhyun frowned, seeing how Byul zoned out again. "Don't take it seriously. I was kidding." he nudged her. "You'll make a marvellous wife and the guy who marries you is suuuuuuuper lucky. Hm?" he smiled.

Byul rolled her eyes and punched his arm lightly. "Write your poem, you."

 

 

 

"Why do I feel like this?" Byul whispered to herself, kicking the dust on the ground. It was late, around ten or eleven but Byul wasn't sleeping yet. The other servants were already fast asleep but Byul couldn't find the mood to. Too many things were on her mind.

Specifically, one thing. Or maybe, one person.

"This is retarded." Byul mumbled to herself. "I can't feel THAT way for Ddong-ha right?" she questioned herself. "BUt why do I keep thinking about him and what he says affect me so much more than any one else?"

She sighed. "And it doesn't make sense either." she looked at the moon. "If I'm to...." she her lips nervously and whispered the next few words. "Fall in love, shouldn't I fall for Chanyeol-gun instead? He's the one who's been there since I've entered the Palace. Ddong-ha had been nothing but a total until recently."

Byul laid down on the grass and stared at the stars.

Was this why she felt terrible when Baekhyun spent time with Dahae? Was this why she never felt the pinch when any of the other princes talked to Dahae?

That she was in love with the stubbornly adorable, insanely childish, unbelivably endearing Byun Baekhyun?

"Oh no." Byul buried her face in her hands. "What the hell happened to me?" she murmured.

"Yah. Why aren't you sleeping?"

Byul's hands flew away from her face and she saw Eunhyuk looking down at her curiously. "Oh oppa." she straightened and sat up. "I couldnt' sleep. Why aren't you resting at the male lodging then? I heard you guards just came back from the capital city tonight."

Eunhyuk plopped herself down beside her.

"We did. But I had to tell you something so I came to see if you were awake." Eunhyuk muttered. "And if you weren't I'd throw stones at your window like the cliche we always laughed about when we were young."

"What is it?" Byul looked at him curiously.

Eunhyuk sighed. "I visited home. And i popped over to your house too." he murmured. "Your mother's sick, Byul. Not terminally sick, but sick."

Byul took a sharp intake of breath. "How is she?"

"From what I see, it's going to take a few days to recover, some fever and aches here and there." Eunhyuk muttered. "But the thing is, she accepted a new project on making a bridal dress for the mayor's daughter. There has to be sequins and all those fine details, you know? And the girl's getting married in a few days but the dress isn't ready."

"Your mom's insisting to finish the dress." Eunhyuk shook his head. "Stubborn as you, really. And I can't bear to see her without help like this. But I couldn't stay to help since I have guard duties. I'm worried for your mother, Byul."

Byul swallowed. This sounded exactly like her mother. Trying too hard for her children.

She her lips. "I'll find a way to get to her, oppa." she muttered, thinking. "I'll get a few days off from the Queen."

"Is that even possible?" Eunhyuk looked at her.

"I don't know, but I"m going to try." Byul nodded. "I'm not going to let Umma suffer alone." Eunhyuk squeezed her hand and smiled. "You do it, Byul. Send my regards to her."

Byul nodded. She stared at the stars, feeling this was just the thing she needed right now: Time away from Baekhyun.

*I just need to clear my thoughts and feelings and I'll be okay again.* she thought. *Han Eunbyul, you can do it!*

 

 

OH MY GOD. OHHHH MYYY GODDDD.

ASJHLSLKGJSLKGJKSDFHKDSJHF!!!! I can't believe it! I'm featured again!

I have to say I really am shocked and pleasantly surprised! I was out studying and when I returned home, got out my iPod to get onto AFF, I was a little surprised at the number of friend requests and wallposts.

And then there were people congratulating me on getting featured and I just thought it was because of "My Princess Bodyguard" from last week.

And then I scrolled down and there were people saying two weeks in a row and I didn't really get it.

Until I got to the front page and saw "The Dull One" on the right there! OH MY GOD!!!!!!

I really didn't expect getting featured again, immediately! Thank you guys so much! I can't even....I can't even find the words to say! I'm just shocked and delighted!

My exams are starting on Monday, and these are the most important exams of my life. Seriously.

I have to do well, and I'll be in the exam hall most of the time etc etc. So yeah you can imagine, I won't be able to update often.

I'll be updating once a week from now onwards, till 28 November for my last paper. (On that day I won't be either, I'll be out partying xD)

Chapter 36: "i don't even want to think about what would happen if something happened to you." Was that Baekhyun realizing something he never acknowledged before?
