Chapter 80 (1/2)

Getting close enough to her to touch his chest to her back, he hugged her from behind.

“It looks like we’re playing hide and seek. I feel like I’m a spy.”

“Do you think this is interesting?”

When she compared hide-and-seek to a spy game, he couldn’t help but laugh at her far-stretched comparison. In the end, he hugged her tightly, unable to hold back the urge.

She was at a loss what to do as she was so bashful in his embrace.

“Ruhae….”

Ruhae said, “Everytime we have to meet like this secretly, I feel sorry. As you compared our secret meeting to hide-and-seek, my heart feels much lighter now, but I feel more sorry than before.”

As they had to find secret places for their secret dating, Ruhae was always sorry for her. Nonetheless, she didn’t care about it and even burst into laughter, with her imagination taking wing like that. That made him feel much relieved but sorry and grateful at the same time.

“Why are you sorry, Ruhae?”

“Well, I would like to give you the best things all the time, but I can’t. I’m sorry about that.”

“I take great delight in meeting you in a place like this,” she said playfully. Given her sparkling eyes and blushed face, she seemed to be serious.

Standing on tiptoes, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. She leaned on him closely and raised her head to get close to his ears. Her little actions thrilled him.

She whispered in a sweet voice, “My heart is pounding wildly and I’m so nervous when I have to move around the palace secretly. It reminds me of my days in the Hwa Kingdom where I did the same. In fact, I was like a tomboy seeking hidden places like this and hiding from the court ladies. I had thought those days were in the past, but our secret dating reminded me of those days once again.”

She was so thrilled when she reminisced about her days in her motherland.

“How wonderful you are! It looks like there is nothing difficult in your eyes. I think you know how to enjoy your life,” he said, wrapping his hands around her waist.

“Enjoy my life?”

“Well, even in a situation like now you are grinning at me!”

“That’s because I was reminded of my tomboy days back in my motherland,” she said bashfully.

“It amazes me to see that you can stay happy without complaining. That’s not easy. It’s easy to complain.”

He gently touched her face with his fingers and hugged her with a soft expression.

“Kyosul, you smile at me and show your hospitality to me. I love your frank attitude.”

“Oh, it’s not a big deal. Never mind,” she lowered her head at his praise. As if she wanted to hide her blushing face, she buried it into his chest.

He looked at her gently, with his eyes full of his deep affection for her.

In fact, it was her innocence and frankness that attracted him to her blindly.

“Ooops! What is this?”

While she was burying her face in his chest, she noticed something familiar to her.

She didn’t see that as she was totally focused on him, but there were a bunch of little blue flowers near the wall. In fact, they were the same flowers she found placed on the window of her room in the past. She squatted down gladly and looked at the flowers.

“Ruhae, look at these flowers here!”

He bent down and watched her with a fond expression as she was so thrilled to find the familiar flowers right before her eyes.

“Do you like this flower?”

“Ugh?”

She looked at him with an embarrassed expression as he continued to smile at her.

How could he not recognize the flowers that he used to send to her everyday?

Was it because he was too bashful to admit it before her?

Kyosul interpreted his reaction freely as she liked.

“Yes, I like these flowers very much. In fact, they’re my favorite flowers these days.”

As if she wanted to chime in, she answered cheerfully with a joke.

Though he knew she was trying to give him some clues on her remarks, he didn’t seem to understand her motive. He looked down at the flowers blooming under the wall..

Though they were small and beautiful, he couldn’t find anything special there. He scratched his head and said, “Come to think of it, I think I saw them a lot in the East Palace.”

Those blue flowers that he saw in the East Palace. She smiled at that expression.

She found it interesting that they still kept that secret to themselves, as if they didn’t know it.
