Lie?
The Fate of The Red Thread
Once you got home, you satisfied your stomach with the food you bought from the market.
"Maybe i should leave some for the person coming to get me.... I should." You stopped eating and
started packing away the meat you made.
"Wont put it in the fridge because i dont want it to be cold once they get here." You say.
You limp to your bed and flop on it.
You grab the remote from your side and turn your tv on.
You went through the channels, "Aish, nothing good on." You look up at the cieling and think of Sunggyu.
"Im not that old.. and youre only 6 years youngers than me." You say.
"Wait. Am i thinking like an ahjumma?"
"Blah. What time is it?" You ask yourself and look at the clock.
2:45pm.
'Soon." You think.
"How should i tell them?... Ill just tell them naturally. No need to rehearse this."
"But," You say. "My appearance. Its not very appropriate."
You take out the box from under the tv stand and fish out Mi-Hyuns old clothes.
You pull out a white dress and flow it over you.
"Yes, this one." You say, and you grabbed white leggings/pantyhose.XD
You go to the washroom to change.
You come out of the washroom with it on.
You come out of the washroom with it on.
"Waah~ not bad~." You say while looking down to see how it looks on you.
"Too bad theres no mirror in here... ill try the tv reflection."
You head to the tv when you hear
*Knock knock
You stop.
"Theyre kind of.. early." You say.
You head to the door, and opened it slowly, making sure they wont notice your door is broken.
"Hello." Says the gray haired old man standing in front of you.
"Im here for the taking of Kang Mi-Hyun." He says.
'Taking?' You think.
"U-um, wont you come sit and eat something i made earlier." You say.
"Sorry, i only came here to pick up the lost princess." He blatantly says.
"Well," You clear your throat. "She has passed." You say and look down.
"..youre her arent you?" He asks.
"Huh?... Actually im not." You say.
In disbelief, he says "Well please, tell that to the queen." and bows.
He walks a few steps and looks back at you.
"Follow me." He turns around and starts walking to a black shiny car, with an attendant.
"One minute please!" You shout.
You grab your bag and the slightly wet cloth from the floor, put your shoes on and shoved your shoelaces into them.
You close the door slowly and limped to the car, looking down watching your steps.
Once you got to the car, the attendant helped you in and you got in safe.
You took off as soon as the attendant got in the drivers seat.
You looked around the car, and there was someone beside you holding a newspaper infront of him, covering his face.
'The prince?" You think.
"Seatbelt." He said.
"Ah, yes." You say. Then you grabbed the seatbelt and buckled it.
You sat awkwardly, and you were still looking around.
You pressed a button that put down the window. You stuck your hand out the window to feel the breeze better.
"Please refrain from putting your arms out the window." He said.
You heard the newspaper get put down. You put your arm back inside.
Then you look at him, who was looking the other way.
He turned his head to you, who was looking at him. Both your eyes meet.
Kim Sunggyu
.
I dont know who looked more shocked. But Sunggyu looked away first, controlling his face and reaction.
You kept looking at him.
"Sunggyu?" You say.
He is looking forward with a straight face.
"Sunggyu, perhaps are you.." Your head thinks of many things.
"Are you.."
"Do i know you?" He asks you and stares you dead in the eye for a couple of seconds.
Then he looks straight forward again.
"Sunggyu.." You say. "Is this because i said i dont like younger guys? Cause i lied, im fine with it."
He ignored you.
"Sunggyu." You put your hand on his arm.
He nudges it away.
You look at him for a few seconds and then you slump in your chair.
"Not like im going to marry you anyway." You mumble.
"Who are you?" You ask him while looking out your side of the window.
You arrive to a mansion and there are attendants awaiting your arrival.
The car comes to a stop in front of the mansion. The attendant goes to open your door and bows.
You look at Sunggyu who is already out the door. He heads for the stairs, and you follow him, limping.
He stops and looks at you. He puts his hands in his pockets and walks toward you.
He offers his arm. You smile and take hold of his arm.
You hop with one leg on each step, not scared because Sunggyu is there.
The attendants all bow to you, and you bow back how much you can.
He leads you inside and you scan the whole place.
All the color schemes of the place went well with the color of the white walls.
There were antiques behind windows, and books filling up each shelf you seen.
"Are you the prince?" You finally ask.
He continues walking and leading you.
"Where are you taking me?" You ask him.
He looks at your hand around him. "Nice ring." He says.
"Isnt your name Hana?" He asks not even looking at you.
"It is." You say.
"How come you didnt tell me who you were? Were you lying the whole time to me?" You ask him while looking at the floor.
"Im taking you to your inlaws." He says.
"Y-your parents?" You ask.
He says nothing and opens a big white door for you.
You walk a little in front of him, and you hear him chuckle.
You look at him, who is covering his laugh.
"What?" You ask.
He reached out his arm near your hip. Then he pulled your dress out from your leggings/pantyhose.XD
You blushed and turned around.
'Was it like that the whole time?? You thought.
You walk a little in front of him, and you hear him chuckle.
You look at him, who is covering his laugh.
"What?" You ask.
He reached out his arm near your hip. Then he pulled your dress out from your leggings/pantyhose.XD
You blushed and turned around.
'Was it like that the whole time?? You thought.
You look into the room.
There waits the queen and the king.
There waits the queen and the king.
They both turn to you, stand and smile.
Sunggyu leads you to them, then seats you down on a couch.
'I remember this from somewhere.' You chuckle.
"She has a damaged right ankle. Please take care of her." He says and bows.
The king and queen both bow to him also.
He headed to the door.
'Please take care of her he says.' You cover your muffled laughs.
You stand and bow to them.
"Please sit down." The queen said.
"Understood." You said. Then you sat down, and they did too.
You stared at them.
'The queen is so pretty' You thought.
'Small face and good complexion. The king looks older than expected..' You think, looking at all his wrinkles on his face.
"So, Mi-Hyun.."
Her name made you surprised a little.
"..may i see the ring?" She asked.
"Oh, you mean this?" You showed her your hand.
She smiled.
"But im no-"
"Look Honey," She grabbed hold of her husbands hands.
"We could marry our child off." She said while looking at him.
He smiled back at her and turned to you.
"We can meet a little later" He says. " Go meet your husband."
'Woah, theyre pretty open to the idea of a commoner becoming a princess.' You think.
'Woah, theyre pretty open to the idea of a commoner becoming a princess.' You think.
"Yes, we dont want to be a bother. We accept youre from a common family because thats where i am from." She said.
'Wh-wha' You think with the same expression.
Sunggyu comes in, and grabs your hand.
You look at him bowing to the king and queen.
You stand and bow also.
He leads you to the door, and you think
'oh right.' You stop. Sunggyu looks at you.
You turn and bow to the king and queen.
"Thank you for the money transfers." You say, hoping it would be them.
"Its not a problem, dear." The king said.
'I knew it.' You thought. 'But when can i tell them that Mi-Hyun..'
You smiled to them and Sunggyu led you out the door.
"Where are we going?" You ask him.
'Is he going to be my husband or something?' You think to yourself.
'He cant be. Im not Mi-Hyun. I .. dont know.' You look down on your limping limb.
"To your husband." He says and he gestures his hand to the prince, sitting by a water fountain reading a book.
You have a surprised look on your face.
The prince looks at you, closes his book and starts walking towards you.
"Wh-What?" You ask.
You look at Sunggyu, who is looking at the approaching prince.
The prince stands in front of you and bows.
"Hello. My name is Dongwoo." He says. "Your future husband."
