Chapter 5

Love is Bitter Sweet

Sulli's POV: 

For the past two days, I've been have been visiting the palace to see Hyun Woo. I've invited to take him to many places so that I could keep him away from the palace as much as possible. He would come join me during his break but he would later return back to the palace after. Today, I am sitting in my living room, thinking of another place to take Hyun Woo. Kai is sitting next to me, also thinking of a plan.

 

Sigh* "I just can't think of anything......" I look towards Kai..... "Oppa, did you think of anything?"

 

Kai: "Mmmmm, where have you taken him so far?"

 

"I took him a park and we had a pinic but he had to leave early. Yesterday, we went to the amusement park and he only stayed there for a little while then too....."

 

Kai: "In order for me to go there, I would need Hyun Woo out for the whole day...." Kai continued to think and think, until he finally got an idea.

"AHHH! I GOT IT!" He clapped his hands together, "You should take him camping!"

 

"Camping?"

 

Kai: "Ne, that will deffinatly keep him busy and I'll be able to visit the palace then."

 

My face brightened up and I ran to gave Kai a hug. "Oppa, kamsahamnida! You're so smart♥"

 

Kai face became red and he rubbed his head, "Ahhh, it was nothing...."

 

Today....... I will convice Hyun Woo to go camping with me.

 

End POV.

 

Hyun Woo's POV:

 

During the past two days, I have been busy working at the palace and trying to find out about it's history. I have read many articles and books about the palace but none of them knew how the fire had started. All the books, articles, and the news said that the fire was mysteriously started. There were some stories about how the fire started but they were all just rumors and theories. I have stressed out over this so much but I wasn't going to give up. During my break, I would run into Sulli. She invited to go eat and she even took me to the amusement park but I didn't stay very long. I went straight back to work after when my hour break was over and I continued to do research. Seuta would come in to check on me and see how I was doing. She would offer me some riceballs and I would it them. For some odd reason, everytime I'm around Seuta..... I would get a really strange feeling. I can't explain what I felt but I tried to not let it bother me. Lately, I've noticed Sulli acting strangley also, like she's hiding something from me. Everytime she ask to treat me out, she never wants me to go back to the palace but she knows that I have work to do there. One day, she took me to go eat at a near by park and she was carrying a lunch box. We sat down on a bench and had a little pinic. When she opened the lunch box, I couldn't help but notice that there were riceballs in them. For some reason, I couldn't stop smiling. Honestly, I don't like riceballs that much but when I saw them, I was happy. After when we ate the riceballs, I went to head back to the palace. 

 

I turned to Sulli, "Well, I have to go now.... Bye." I bowed to her then I started to walk back to the palace. 

 

Sulli: "Woong, wait!" 

 

I stopped in my tracks then I turned to look at her. 

 

Sulli: "Do you really have to go?"

 

I sighed, "Ne." 

 

She seemed really upset, "Can't you stay a for little longer?"

 

"Anni, I still have alot of work to do."

 

Sulli: "Okay, I understand.......annyeong." She waved goodbye to me then left and I went back to the palace where Seuta was waiting for me.

 

Seuta: "OH! You're back!" She giggled and smiled really brightly.

 

"Ye..., I should continue to do the research." I sat down at the desk that was pilled with alot of books. I took one book, layed it down on the desk, opened it, and then I started to read, hoping that I would find the answer. After a few hours, I read half of the books and I grabbed another one then opened it. Seuta walked over to the desk and she closed the book shut with her hand.

 

Seuta: "You should take a rest. You've been working hard all day." 

 

"Anni, I promised you that I would help you. Let go of the book." 

 

Seuta: "You have plenty of time to help me. Come with me, I want to show you something. Bring your camera."

 

I left the desk and grabbed my camera then I follow Seuta outside. We finally reached to a stop but I couldn't make out were she took me because it was dark but I could see that there was a water fountain. Seuta clapped her hands and the whole place lit up. I then relized that we were in a garden. The water fountian was glowing bright so beautifully and it was really colorful.

 

"WOW!" I looked around the garden in amazement. I was smiling really brightly and so was Seuta. "IT'S BEAUTIFUL!"

 

Seuta smiled even bigger: "It gets even better."  She took out a little remote and pressed a button.

Suddenly, the whole garden became filled with bubbles. The lights of the garden made the bubbles looked like they were changing colors and they were floating around everywhere. I looked at Seuta and watched her smile at me. Everything became slow and my heart was thumping like crazy. For some reason, this seemed really familiar to me...... I didn't know why. Seuta looked really pretty with all the bubbles surrounding her. The colorful blinking lights also made her look beautiful also, so I decide to take a pictures of her. I looked at my camera, the pictures came out really beautiful. As I put down my camera and I looked at Seuta once more. I started to feel, really strange....... I decided to walk up closer to her....... I don't know why I did but I couldn't stop myself. I held her onto her face and began to lend in. Suddenly, everything became black. When I woke up the next morning,  I could feel the warmness on my lips.

I couldn't help but smile.... After when I washed up and got ready.... I went straight to work again. During my break, I ran into Sulli again. She offered to take me out but this time, we went to the amusement park. Now, I had no clue why she would take me there, knowing how busy I am. Once we got there, we rode on one ride there. We rode into a dark tunnel for awhile then the tunnel started to light up. All the lights were really colorful and the scenary was beautiful. Suddenly, I could see bubbles been blown out from the top of the cave and the bubbles surrounded us. I was then quickly reminded of Seuta and the kiss that we had. I put my hands on my lips and thought...... (Why did I do that? What was I thinking?) 

I couldn't help but think that I actually liked kissing Seuta..... even though it sounds weird to kiss a ghost. I couldn't help but notice how Sulli was laying down on my shoulders..... after when the ride was over, I told Sulli that I had to go. She didn't want me to leave as usual but I had to go back and help Seuta. Sulli tried to give me a hug goodbye but for some reason, I dodged her and just bowed to her. I left her and went back to the palace, where I found Seuta happily waiting for me. 

 

Seuta: "Woong oppa, annyeong~" She was really happy and excited to see me. As I looked at her and watched her smile, my heart was beating really fastly and I couldn't help but smile at her also. I went to give her a hug, after when I was done, she looked really surprised and embrassed. I just continued to smile at her then she pulled out a cute, small, red box. 

 

"What's this?" She just smiled at me and opened the box. Inside the box, there were many small pieces cookies and they looked really delicous. They were round, white, glossy cookies with white sprinkles on them. "Did you make these?"

 

Seuta: "Ye. Have some."

 I smiled then grabbed one cookie and I took a bite out of it. They tasted really good but they also tasted really familiar also...... Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my head. 

 

"AHHH!" I held onto my head and I became dizzy. Seuta looked at me with a really worried look.

 

Seuta: "What's wrong?"

 

I looked at her then said, "It's nothing, I just have a headache."

 

Seuta: "Oh, you've must been studying to hard. You need to take a rest."

 

"Ye. I'll go back to the hotel then." 

 

Seuta: "Let me walk you there."

 

"Okay." 

 

She walked me back to the hotel then she started to leave. I grabbed her hand then gave her a hug from behind. 

 

"Seuta, annyeo."  I let go of her and she turned to me then waved with both of her hands.

 

"Woong oppa, annyeo♥" She dissappeared.

 

I am laying down on my bed in my room and I difted off to sleep, having another dream.

 

[Dream/flashback]

 

I see another little boy standing somewhere.......

 

(What? The it's the same boy from the last dream..... but where is he?)

 

Ahhhhh, he's at a garden..... (It's the same garden that Seuta showed me..... why is he there?) 

 

It's was dark, it looked as if it was night time. Suddenly, the lights began to come on and they began to light up one by one. Each of the colors were glowing so beautifully. The bubbles then started to blow out and they floated sofly around. There was another person in the garden, it's a little girl. She was playing with the bubbles and popping them. She looked like she was having alot of fun. She turned around and I could make out her face......

 

(No way.......... it's..........it's..........Seuta!)

 

[End of dream/flashback]
