Can I See You Again

Three Love Stories

Hearing the youths being rested, the citizens and the young girls flocked to stand in front of the palace gates. They were hoping to see one of the young men full of charm. Their sharp eyes were busy wandering around one by one the deepest corners of the palace so that no one was missed. They tried to go deeper to get the beautiful view. Until in the end, a few youths walked through the gate producing amazed gazes from the girls. A stormy atmosphere was created and flowed along with the pleasures of that eye.

Young, he ran through the main gate of the palace with his arm wrapped in cloth. At that moment, people realized it. Looking at the injured arm, they scrambled and scrambled to come and take a closer look. Giving treatment and hoping to get his attention. But, baby, he passed very quickly. Seemed very eager to avoid.

Three Love Stories 

Just then, to avoid the citizens who wanted to see him, Young turned towards a place that was a little quiet. At that place Young accidentally bumped into a girl in her usual dress. His injured hand became very painful. 

The pain that Young felt was clearly drawn from his arm that was bleeding again behind the bandage wound. The girl was surprised, she saw that there were some young girls chasing after Young from a distance. The ordinary girl ventured to pull Young's hand closer and led him to hide behind a boulder. 

Young released the girl's grasp from her hand. He was in a hurry and seemed to force the girl to let go of his grasp. Dodging, and immediately leaving the girl was what she wanted to do back then. However, the girl pulled her hand back. 

Without saying anything, the girl tore off her dress. The girl, her face looked worried, it could be seen from the look on her face and the tears flowing down her cheeks. She tied a piece of her dress to Young's injured arm.

“Thanks,” says Young briefly.

Without looking at his face, Young stood up, tidied up his robe and occasionally peeked out. He left that place leaving her the girl who was speechless by his play. The girl's tears stopped. Now he was at the peak of a high-level fantasy. Silently, he touched his own hand. The hand that was clothed with Young's blood made him smile incessantly. Very beautiful, he thought.

“May you be fine, ”murm the girl while staring into the empty streets.

 

Meanwhile, it turns out that there is another girl who daritadi noticed them. Another girl, whose heart was broken. The sight he saw just now made him want to cry. He's smashed his chest tightly. It hurts so much, it makes him unable to lean anymore. Either because of jealousy, or because of Young's injured hand. What was clear, it felt stifling, making him tired of trying to think lightly.

The other girl, her face turned pale, there was a hint of anger etched from the corner of her beautiful face. He ran to the palace about to lick all that anger on his mastermind. He ran and searched every corner of the palace, until he finally met Won Bin in front of the main gate.

“What did Brother do to Young?” ask her with swollen eyes.

“You've been crying?” ask Won Bin.

Won Bin wants to wipe away his brother's tears, but the younger brother dodges. 

“What Brother did it?" ask the girl again.

Won Bin was astonished. He squinted his eyes, tried to understand what was happening and immediately came to his senses.

“Go from here. Here is not your place,” replied Won Bin averted his eyes.

“I asked Brother, did Brother do it?” ask the girl for force.

“Ara! Are you out of your mind?" won Bin snaps at his sister.

“Yes, I'm crazy. Why?” replied the sister holding back the peak of her anger.

“So? Yep! I did it. I hurt him. Next time, I'll rip that fucking kid apart! Are you satisfied?!” won Bin shouted with both of his eyebrows rising.

Ara fell silent and slowly retreated, she was about to put an end to all the anger she harbored. But what to do, Won Bin is his older brother. There was nothing she could do but run away leaving her brother, bringing all that annoyance and keeping it tight.

“Stop playing with that coward's sister!” yelled Won Bin who even more hurt his sister.

Meanwhile, from her residence, Princess Shih was busy pacing around.

“Your Highness Mr Putri, is there anything that disturbs your mind?” ask his personal servant.

“Why can't I stop remembering it,” complained the princess.

“Ma.. did you mean?” confused by the waiter.

“The young man, did he collect his answer?” ask the princess.

“You mean, that young man in the back row?” ask the waiter.

Princess Shin did not answer. He just looked at the waiter. The princess' gaze, making her personal servant almost laugh, seemed to be in love.

“Ah Yes Mr. Princess, the young man, I saw it. He finally gathered his answer,” obviously the waiter was nervous, but full of spirit.

“Thank God," replied Princess Shin in relief.

The servants looked at each other and smiled slightly at each other. Princess Shih who saw them smile like that, became nervous and tried to avoid the situation.

“I just don't like to see fools who give up easily,” snapped the princess trying to dodge.

“Yes, yes Mr. Princess,” said the flirtatious waiter.   

Meanwhile, on a different side, the young man they were talking about was apparently taking a walk around the palace. From where Princess Shin had peeked before, the man was now standing there, discussing with himself. But right then, the young man stopped his steps.

He found something in that place. Something that looks very valuable. A very expensive precious stone. He touched the stone and watched it many times. A moment later, the young man remembered the incident earlier. A young girl peeked and ran here, thinking it might be hers. Without him knowing, it belonged to Princess Shin, belonging to a princess of the king. 

He who took the stone, immediately cleaned it, wrapped it in his handkerchief, and kept it under his cloak. He took the stone, and stepped from there as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile at the market, Youra and her mother were busy shopping. There they heard a lot of gossip about the young people. Youra and her mother don't care about that. 

“Wait here with mom's groceries, I want to go there for a while,” said Youra's mother.

Youra was sitting in a corner of a small shop. Next to the store, there is a small street facing east. Youra remained sitting in the corner of the tavern, daydreaming, thinking of many things that she had never thought of before. However, his daydreams riled up as he began to look at someone. Someone very familiar.

Little Youa did not blink though. He kept silent in a place with an unchanging look. His whole mind flew, somewhere. What he thought became even more complicated.

I thought I was not okay at the time. 

That person, was standing still on the corner of that street. Staring at the paper he was holding, the person stood up with an intelligent innate attached to him.

So beautiful, that I don't know if I'm really not okay.

Youra her eyes sparkled. Shortly after, his face turned pale. That person returned his gaze warmly. Youra was shocked, the beating of the heart that even she could hear, making her unable to stay there any longer.

The young man, now walking towards him.

She is, a beautiful flower.

Youra who was stunned, he could not even move. As if fixated, he tried to rebel against himself in order to come to his senses immediately. With all her might, Youra managed to get her soul that was about to drift. He quickly turned his face towards his mother and ran from there.

The young man stopped his steps, looking at him in wonder. Frowning, he smiled lightly. Seeming in disbelief, a cute girl ran away as if she was about to be pounced on by him, making him almost laugh.

The smell of flowers is beautiful, spread until it is attached to every object I carry. Although not in place, why is beautiful and fragrant still left until his memory continues to feel.

Lee Young sat under an old pohoh behind an already uninhabited house not far from the palace. He held onto his wet arm because the blood was tight. 

“This is weird,” muttered.

Young looked astonished. Although the wound was quite large, Young had never felt a sting worse than it had before.

“This injury is not too big. Why is it like this?".

Suddenly,

“Lee Young, are you okay?" ask someone who came out of nowhere.

Young who was shocked turned to look at the voice.

“Jung Hyun, why are you here?" ask Young back.

Jung Hyun is the son of a former chief inspector of the kingdom who died in battle. He and Lee Young have been best friends since childhood. Although Jung Hyun was an orphan, thanks to his father's services, he was given the opportunity to take the exam at the palace. 

“There's something I want to tell you,” Jung Hyun replied.

Jung Hyun approached and sat down beside him.

“I walked around the palace and found something strange. The sword that Won Bin used seemed to have been covered in poisonous insect liquid. The poison, it can't be detected easily. But it seems, it's not dangerous. It may only cause great pain, but it will recover soon,” explains Jung Hyun.

“Quickly,” replied Young briefly.

Jung Hyun looked at Young's wound. 

“I thought you would win against the son of the chief minister of war. Why don't you do it?” ask Jung Hyun.

“His opponent means to kill him. I don't want to waste my energy on useless things,” Young replied as she held onto his arm.

Jung Hyun looked at the wound worriedly.

“Wait. It seems, this is not right,” Jung Hyun said.

Young looked at him in wonder. Jung Hyun tried to check Young's wounds. He tried to remove the cloth and fell silent afterwards. Now, the expression of the two looked funny as Jung Hyun looked at the cloth.

“Not this fabric a piece of dress, belonging to a girl?” jung Hyun said, looking at Young in confusion.

Young shyly tried to divert the conversation.

“It's painful, what do you want to do?" ask Young to avoid.

“Good. I think it'll be fine. Ah yes, I found this in the palace". 

Jung Hyun pointed out a precious stone that he found around the palace earlier. 

Young took the stone and watched it.

“It belongs to a girl,” Young said.

Hearing Young's reply, Jung Hyun immediately glanced towards Young's dressing cloth again.

“No way, no way,” over it while muttering loudly.

Young, who noticed his friend trying to tease him, looked back at the stone.

“This is an expensive stone, return this immediately. It looks like it belongs to the royal family” Young said as she returned the stone to Jung Hyun.

Jung Hyun grabbed the stone. Now he's back to watching.

“Is this possibly the girl's?". 

“Girl?" ask Young.

Jung Hyun was the rear row young man who continued to be noticed by Princess Shin earlier, the young man who managed to steal the heart of the king's daughter.

“So there was a girl who was reprimanded for peeping, looking at me. She's wearing a beautiful dress. I've never seen a dress so beautiful. She is very pretty,” Jung Hyun said making Young turn to her face.

Jung Hyun fell silent and tried to shift the conversation when he realized what he had just said.

“Ahaha there can't be such a girl peeking at me, there's no way. Orphans like me have been very lucky to take that exam. Ever since my father died, I've had to work to support my sick mother. And you're my only best friend. You want to be friends with difficult people like me, and help a lot,” Jung Hyun explained to Young.

Young who heard that looked at him flatly. He looked amused by the words of his best friend.

“Since when, have you been as dramatic as that?” asked Young with her flat face.

“You're such a bitch. Can't you smile a little? Never mind, let's go back to the palace. I know you're strong, I'm not gonna help even if your arm hurts like that".

Jung Hyun stood with Young and grabbed his friend's shoulder. They walked back to the palace. Bringing all their hopes. Friends, love, and hate, see how this journey accompanies and complements life.

The darkness disappeared as the light greeted. The stars continued to shine through the troubled sky until it was clear in the pitch-black night. One star with a dim light, will shine accompanied by a glowing star with enough light. They are strong, and bright though the haughty clouds always try to close each other.
