"You are not choosing me?" Soyu asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm not choosing you, frankly you scare me." Sunggyu said.

"You'll regret this, Prince Sunggyu." Soyu clenched her fist before walking away.

Sunggyu sat down on a bench and rubbed his temples. Just being around that girl gave him a headache.

"Are you okay, big brother?" Jieun asked, sitting down next to him.

"Soyu was here." Sunggyu said, before he turned to smile at her.

"Aww.. At least she's not your Destined. Or else, you would be stuck with her forever." Jieun said.

"I know, then I might really kill myself." Sunggyu groaned.

"Don't say that!" Jieun hit his shoulder.

"I know, dongsaeng. I just can't help it. She drives me mad." Sunggyu sighed heavily.

"Tonight's the ball, maybe you'll see her tonight." Jieun told him.

"I just don't want to see Soyu, if I have talk to mother in a dream again, I'll run away." Sunggyu said, before he threatened to injure himself in front of Jieun again.

"Don't let father hear you say that! He'll throw a fit!" Jieun scolded.

"Well, father can go deal with Soyu for a few hours, see how he feels after that." Sunggyu grumbled.

"That girl sure is troublesome, isn't she?" His deep voice interrupting their conversation.

"Father... Sorry..." Sunggyu hung his head low until the King held his hand up.

"Don't be, my son. I have known girls like that in my day. She is quite brutal, and she won't give up. Keep yourself protected. She will do whatever it takes." His father warned.

"Yes, father." Sunggyu bowed.

"Good, now get ready for the ball. Jieun's birthday is not something to be taken lightly." Their father chuckled.

"Understood." They both bowed again before their father left them behind.

"Wear that suit that I like, okay, big brother?" Jieun asked him.

"I know. It's your birthday, I must accommodate the princess." Sunggyu bowed dramatically, making Jieun giggle.

"Stop it, big brother. You're being silly. Besides, I am also searching for your Destined. It's in the cards, you know. She will come soon." Jieun said.

"I hope so. I don't think I can handle another day with Soyu. But I hope the girl can protect herself." Sunggyu sighed.

"He's right there. Just give him this drink and make sure he's out of sight. I need to get him to my castle tonight."

"Understood, miss." The boy left to do his job.

"Here, a drink for you, Prince Sunggyu." He greeted.

"Thank you, Minwoo." Sunggyu said, reading his nametag.

"You're very welcome.." Minwoo muttered lowly as Sunggyu passed out from the drink's contents.

Minwoo grabbed him under his armpits and dragged him into a room. He was greeted by the Princess of Starship.

"Get him to my castle now." She demanded. "You're forever mine, Prince Sunggyu."
