Chapter 22
Friends to Couple
No POV
When MinJee and Sungjong reached the park, the first thing they did was go on the jungle gym. It was just like old times, but instead of chasing an imaginary monster away, Sungjong was playfully chased after MinJee since she pulled his hood over his eyes. After running around for a long time, the two sat on the swings. Sungjong then reached into his pocket and took out MinJee's poem.
"Here." he handed it to her. "I assume you've been looking for this."
"Wah! So you did have it." she sighed with relief. "I was scared somebody else had it."
"But you were here when you dropped it. Why did you run away?"
"I don't know. I had a feeling it was you calling out but I guess I was just scared to face you. Or maybe I was just too shocked that you had came here..."
"I had a feeling you were here as well. But I just wanted to make sure."
"Funny how we both have the same mind."
"Maybe that's why our birthday's are on the same day."
"But you're still older then me."
"By fifteen minutes. It shouldn't matter to you anyway. Remember you always acted the oldest."
There was a moment of silence between them before they spoke to eachother again.
"I'm sorry." Sungjong said suddenly.
"For what?" MinJee asked.
"About forgetting you. If I had remembered, none of this nonsense would of happened." he looked down.
"Don't feel bad about it. Half of it is my fault as well. If I hadn't let you go easily..."
Sungjong looked at her. "What are you talking about?"
"When you got called to do your training, I had a way of not letting you do it." she sighed. "But, I knew it wouldn't be right. And at the same time, I had feelings for you. So because I loved you, I had to let you go..."
"You really did? I just thought you did that for the sake of our friendship."
MinJee gave a half smile. "I thought it was. But love was something that had taken over me. Which made me let go too easily."
"How's about we don't talk about our past anymore. And just relive it?" Sungjong then stood up. "I'll be your prince, for real this time."
