Baekhyun turned to the left; and then he turned to the right. Then, he turns to the left once more. He glanced at Chanyeol. “How can he sleep so peacefully? Ugh!” He removed his blanket. After all the tossing and turning, he decided to wake up. He grabbed his sword and went outside.

The night was chilly. He practiced with his sword, hoping it would clear her off his mind. Her long, wavy hair, her porcelain white skin… Even from the back she looks like an angel. He paused. No! I’m not supposed to think like that! Byun Baekhyun, stop!

“Ah, I’m losing my mind!” He grunted. He took a long, deep breath. “Keep practicing.” He told himself, swinging it back and forth. Every time he did, she kept appearing in front of him. She would stand in front of him with a lovely smile. No, I can’t! “Go away!”

“Young master!”

Dahye sat under the gazebo. After what happened today, she could not sleep. Apart from facing the leader wrath, she found out something much bigger.

She closed her eyes. She touched her shoulder. She recalled the pain. The pain from her scar. The pain from losing her memories. The pain of not knowing who she was.

“It’s a long story.” He rose from his seat. “It happened ten years ago. The castle was under attack. The royal family managed to escape into the woods, but then the king and queen were found dead and the princess went missing. We could not find her body, therefore we assumed she was still alive somewhere. Until today, we are still searching and hoping she would return to take the throne.”

“Baekhyun and Ah Young were both her playmates. After the incident, both of them were emotionally affected. Baekhyun got his EXO friends, but Ah Young was left alone.” He turned to her. “When I first saw you, I thought you could be the one that could make her smile again. I still hope you would.” He confessed.
