Chapter 100 - The trip [2] (1/2)

”Oh my! There are already a lot of people at here, and they have just started to come. Seems like the entire kingdom wants to chosen by you,” Jiwoo commented.

Beside her stood Oh Sookyung, and both of them observed the scene from a dark corner. While Moon Jiwoo was dressed somewhat lavishly, Sookyung was in his casual clothes.

Turning her head to face Sookyung, she questioned, ”Aren't you getting dressed? After all, those girls would prefer their King to be quite charming.”

Raising his hand, Sookyung ran them through his hair and spoke out, ”I think I am charming enough like this. It would not good to have the entire ball distracted with my looks after I dress up.”

Punching on his ċhėst slightly, she spoke out, ”Tch! What good looks? Even when I am dressed as a boy, I will be better than you.”

Oh Sookyung chuckled and retorted, ”You dressed as a boy would be quite funny since I am pretty sure you will be passing as a middle school kid, or should I call it elementary?”

”Seeing their King beaten up might leave a different impression of you in their mind, so go and get dressed up instead of babbling nonsense. Plus that father of yours is staring at here so much,” she voiced out.

”Is he?” Sookyung stated as he glanced at that direction before adding, ”What? Does that intimidate and scare you?”

”No, it's not that. It bȧrėly has an affect on me, but it's quite annoying. It feels as if each of my actions are monitored, and that is enough to make me enraged,” Jiwoo spoke out, clenching her hand into a tight fist.

”If you want to, go and face him if you are that annoyed. Maybe even swing your fist around if you are that enraged,” Sookyung said.

”Are you sure you should be suggesting that to me? Although you bȧrėly have a bond with him, he is still your father,” Jiwoo pointed out, ”Not that I care. If I want to punch him, I don't require for your permission.”

”Geez, father or not, he is irritating and unreasonable. That man is just greedy for power,” Sookyung stated.

”Isn't everyone greedy for that?” Jiwoo raised one of her eyebrows.

”You are right,” Sookyung spoke out, ”But I guess I hate how controlling he can be at times. Over all, whatever the reason is, I choose you over him, Shin Daerin.”

Hearing those sweet words from him caused the temperature of Moon Jiwoo's cheeks to rise, and a light pink blush started to coat her cheeks. In order to hide her burning cheeks, Jiwoo turned to look at the other direction.

”Whatever, now go and get dressed! It will be too embarrassing if you are discovered now, and don't you require an hour or two to get dressed. You will miss out a lot,” Jiwoo said.

”That would be for the best. I did not want to do this stupid thing and find my fated one in the first place.” Sookyung rubbed his hand upon his forehead.

Moon Jiwoo simply shrugged his shoulder.

”And you? Aren't you dressed way too much?” Sookyung questioned.

His sudden words caught her off guard, and Moon Jiwoo's eyes widened due to confusion as she stared at him. She had one of her eyebrows raised, waiting for him to continue.

Moving his hand closer to her, he clutched on to her chin and brought her face near to his. Feeling his cold breath upon her face caused jitters to go down her stomach.

”I am supposed to be the main attraction of today's ball, not you,” Sookyung voiced out, touching the corner of her lips and pressing it, he slid his hand down until he reached her thin.

”Even like this, you will be attracting many eyes. What do I do now?” Sookyung added.

Creases appeared between both of her eyebrows as Jiwoo raised her hand and slapped his hand away. Taking a step back, she glared at him while anger was clearly visible in her eyes.

”What the hell did you do that for? Oh God! You ruined my entire make up, and now, I have to do it again. This is annoying! Don't tell me you did it because of how envious you were! I know I look better than you, but you are such an ȧsshole!” Jiwoo expressed before turning her back on him and walking away.
