Baekhyun POV

"Ah, Im late" I run all around my room, feeling anxious  that I woke up late. Today is the day like every other day in every other week that I have to accompany Sunjung doing horse riding. 

That lil brat, she hates physical training so much. Since we were kid, she would cry or throw tantrum when it comes to physical training.

She only loves cooking, sewing, planting or any other female things. So Princess.

"Calm down Prince" Eunuch Yoo, my personal court man trying to calm me down

"No Eunuch Yoo. I cant calm. You know I need to go to horse riding with Princess Sunjung and now im late!" I say frantically, trying to change my clothes.

"But your mom said  that today you need to meet General's family" 

I stop whatever im doing and gape at Eunuch yoo.

"Wait, it is today? Damn!" I groan

"Yes Prince. So, calm down and today you dont have to Princess Sunjung." Eunuch Yoo said while walk to the windows and open it widely.

"But, she cant go riding alone. She hates it" I murmur

"I know Prince. But you know, you have to teach her on how to least depent on you. You will get married soon" 

"Urghh, why you have to remind me that" I push my body on the mattress. Lay on it lazily. Looking up to the ceiling.

"But, Eunuch Yoo, can Sunjung live alone when i married? We never apart since we were kids"

"Of course she can. Princess is a strong woman. She just used to your present. It's not like you have to stop meeting her or being her bestfriend but she also will get marry. Both of you will have to live separately" Eunuch Yoo lectures

I sighed. It's true. I know I'll got into arrange marriage but not this soon. Sunjung still has no idea about it. Today is the 4th meeting of my family and General's family.

Nope, she cant know about this, not when

SHE LOVES ME.

The day when Sunjung finally met Soondeuk.

I wait for Soondeuk to finish training with Sunjung at the south door of palace.

I asked Soondeuk to immediately meet me here after training.

Min's family quarter is at west, so Sunjung wont use this door.

"Prince?" I heard a soft voice calling out my name

I turned , " Ah Soondeuk" I clear my throat

"Why you want to meet me here?" 

"Are you okay?" I ask

She tilts her head to the side, confused on my question

"i...am okay?"She answers unsure

I sighs, " Look, Princess Sunjung cannot know and she should not know about us" I claim

"Why?" she frowns

"Because......" I pause, should I tell the truth?

"Listen here Soondeuk, our arrange marriage will be happened in a few months. And this is too sudden for me and Sunjung" I explain

Soondeuk face changed, her expression is unreadable

"Sunjung and I are just bestfriend. I love her like a litle sister. But, she loves me" I murmur the last words

"Ofc she loves you, everyone loves you" Soondeuk utters

"But she loves me like she should love someone who will be her significant one. She loves me!" I hold Soondeuk shoulders.

She frowns, her face changed from shock to sad. I know what's playing in her head

"Soondeuk, dont worry. I already promise with General that I will be a good husband. Eventhough, I dont love you but I will try my best. Okay?" I look at her eyes intently

Heck ,I dont love this girl but I dont love Sunjung either. Maybe sooner or later I will learn to love my wife.

"So, please, Sunjung cant know about us. Not until we finally tied"
