Can I See You Again

Jung Hyun's

From then on, Princess Shin was no longer willing to eat. She just kept crying in her room.

One day, Princess Shin became ill. Seeing the state of Princess Shin, her favorite lady-in-waiting became very worried. He was looking for a way for the princess to eat her food and the king did not know this. According to him, if the king knew, then he would be very angry. 

“I miss him so much,” lirih the princess helpless.

Princess Shin who was lying weak, finally woke up. The anxious servant became even more worried.

“Mr Princess, I beg you, eat a little,” beg the servant.

Princess Shin turned to the servant. He approached the waiter who was crying next to him.

“My dear, can you take me to the village?” princess Shin Pinta, with her pale face.

Seeing the state of the princess, the lady-in-waiting agreed to go undercover so that Princess Shin could meet Jung Hyun. 

“I am ready to bear all the punishment for this sin, provided you can recover Mr. Princess,” muttered the servant.

The servant then prepared a disguise for the princess, she carried the weak body of the princess. Until they arrived at the shop where Jung Hyun worked. However, when they arrived, Jung Hyun was not there. The weak Princess Shin felt a little recovered. Maybe, because of his pleasure. 

They waited for Jung Hyun there, until he heard that Jung Hyun was working in a garden not far from the tavern. Princess Shin was accompanied by the maid and then followed Jung Hyun there. 

Crying and laughter go hand in hand..

Just then, Jung Hyun was surprised to see Princess Shin there. With enthusiasm, he approached the princess who had not met him for several years.

“Nona Areum,” call Jung Hyun gently.

Hearing Jung Hyun call out to her, Princess Shin who had missed her so much, could not hold the water lumps longer in her eyes, she sobbed in the presence of her puja.

 “What's up?” worried Jung Hyun. 

Jung Hyun tried to wipe away the princess' tears, but, their status of being a nobody stopped his intentions. However, Princess Shin pulled the hand of the idol.

“Didn't you miss me?” ask Princess Shin to her.

Jung Hyun smiled. He who had been hesitating began to touch the princess' head and rub her.

“It's been a few years, how can I not miss?” answer Jung Hyun.

The crying Princess Shin finally smiled. 

“I miss you so much. Can we get married sooner?” princess Shin's tears were breaking even more.

The servant who saw it from a distance shed tears.

..is two that cannot be joined.

“What because of this, are you crying?” 

If only he knew..

“I will marry you soon,” replied Jung Hyun.

Maybe he won't be able to smile the same.

At that moment, the two hearts that loved each other were staring at each other. 

“Nona Areum, when you asked me to wait for you back, it felt like it was so long. I thought you would never come back. But now, I'm confident to meet you again".

Princess Shin stared fixedly at the idol.

“I will definitely see you,” replied Princess Shin.

Not long after, Jung Hyun took the princess for a walk around the market. 

“What does Miss Areum want?” ask Jung Hyun.

Princess Shin shook her head slowly.

“No,” replied the princess.

Jung Hyun stopped and took Princess Shin to a shoe store not far from where they were standing. Jung Hyun immediately pulled the princess' hand to get closer. 

“Pak, I want shoes with cherry blossom motifs,” pinta Jung Hyun at the shoe seller.

The shoe seller also gave her a pair of beautiful shoes. Jung Hyun swept a wide wooden chair with his hands. He asked Princess Shin to sit down so that he could pair the princess with the shoes.

Princess Shin tried to reject her.

“No, no need. That must be expensive. Let's see something else,” said Princess Shin.

”Take it easy. I've got a good job. After work, I will make a lot of money for you. The price of these shoes, will not be comparable to my work,” explained the young man with a smile.

Princess Shin smiled, finally sitting on the chair. At that time, Princess Shin lifted a little of her dress, until it accidentally revealed a little calf of the princess. Jung Hyun who was crouching became stunned. The beautiful legs of the princess have a beautiful clean skin well groomed.

Princess Shin who realized that became nervous. Her beautiful body parts had been looked at by her lover's eyes. Blushed in shame, Princess Shin swiftly lowered back her dress to cover her ankles. Jung Hyun who was speechless, tried to shake off his entire mind. He opened the princess's shoes and put them on new ones.

“What does this like?” ask Jung Hyun.

Princess Shin nodded.

At that time, their meeting went smoothly and happily. They walk on the fringes of a cold and quiet river. However, that happiness became awkward when Jung Hyun started asking.

“Because we are getting married soon, may I know your real name?” ask Jung Hyun.

Princess Shin was shocked. However, he tried to calm down and answer that honestly.

“Then, may I request your address?” ask Jung Hyun.

Princess Shin was surprised, she coughed incessantly. The worried Jung Hyun quickly took the water from the flowing river with his hands. 

“Minum".

Princess Shin inhaled the water from Jung Hyun's hand. 

“What Areum okay?” ask Jung Hyun.

Princess Shin nodded. 

“If I give it to you now, will you propose to me tonight?” replied Princess Shin.

“At the moment, I'm working for someone. Soon, I will marry you soon after I have actually started the job,” Jung Hyun explained.

Princess Shin who was walking, stopped her steps. Jung Hyun stopped with her. Princess Shin twisted her body, now she was actually standing before her lover. Slowly, he approached Jung Hyun. Jung Hyun became misbehaved and was eventually cornered.

As Princess Shin approached, the princess tried to touch Jung Hyun's hair that looked tangled with the wind. Jung Hyun stopped the hand of the woman.

Their faces are so close to each other. That circumstance, making Princess Shin close her eyes, maybe she thought Jung Hyun would kiss her. Not just his thoughts, it was part of his hope.

Jung Hyun smiled, freely looking at the face of his beautiful lover. He lowered his body slightly, carving the traces of that face deeper into his heart and mind. She knew, that her lover, wanted to feel a deeper love. The woman he loved, hoped Jung Hyun would kiss her soon.

Actually, Jung Hyun wanted to get closer, and did. However, a strange feeling scratched his heart. He had to hold back, in order to preserve the honor of his lover, which still made him doubtful.

“What is my hair so tangled?” asked Jung Hyun to divert.

Princess Shin slowly opened her eyes. She was embarrassed, because she was too confident. Finally the princess laughed. At that moment, they looked so happy. They laughed, as if everything was going their way. Without knowing, what will happen next.

Shortly after Princess Shin left Jung Hyun, Jung Hyun changed his facial expression.

“Actually, who are you?” muttered.

Jung Hyun turned his gaze around, he took out the precious stone that he had been keeping. 

“Are you the owner of this beautiful and expensive stone?” .

One day at the palace, the king summoned a young man who would replace Lee Young as the Crown Prince's personal bodyguard. The young man was asked to face the 0th Crown Prince. Back then, the Crown Prince was just sitting in the meeting hall enjoying a warm cup of tea without caring for the father who was next to him. 

“Show your respect to the king and Crown Prince!” the command of an officer.

The young man then bowed respectfully.

“Greetings from me Your Majesty the King and Crown Prince,”  

At that time, the Crown Prince did not care about the young man who would become his bodyguard at all. He was just being indifferent and not looking at her at all.

“Introduce who you are,” command the king.

The young man then stood up again.

“Hamba Jung Hyun, son of late chief officer Jung who died in battle,” 

Hearing that, the crown prince who was enjoying the tea, fell silent, not sipping his tea again. However, he still did not look at the young man's face. 

“You held your hands up high, when asked who wanted to be the Crown Prince's bodyguard. What's your reason?” ask king.

“Your Majesty, I honestly do not want this position,” murmured. 

“Hamba is just a commoner, who was unexpectedly given the opportunity to take the state exam. Servant does not want to waste this opportunity, Your Majesty,” Jung Hyun replied steadily.

“On what basis, you dare to take training and get to this point?” ask the king back.

“I did this, to continue the ideals of my friend Lee Young,” muttered back.

“Hamba is the second best student after Lee Young who is in the military education bureau. Servant studied with him. At least I still remember the things I learned with him". 

Hearing Jung Hyun's reply, the crown prince began to look at his face. 

“From now on, happy working with me. I accept it Father,” replied the Crown Prince steadily without warning. He stepped foot, left the meeting room. 

When the Crown Prince left, the king approached Jung Hyun who was still bowing.

“Listen, he is a very hard man. You have to be patient with that stupidity. Remember that! Your job is to report every move to me. You understand?” whispered king.

Jung Hyun who heard that took in his breath. He was so worried about how bad the Crown Prince was, that his own father paid someone to watch over him.

“One more time, if one day he shows you his face covered in cloth, don't tell anyone about what you saw. Otherwise, death is the lightest punishment for you,” the threatening king then leaves the room.

"Lee Young my friend, I don't know, why are you so desperate to become the Crown Prince's despicable personal bodyguard? Is this my courage enough to take you back home?".

Jung Hyun left the meeting room and walked towards the Crown Prince's palace grounds to do the exercises. Back then, the happy Princess Shin was playing not far from the Crown Prince's palace. He ran after the dragonfly with his maids.

But who would have thought, Princess Shin who was running with her beautiful dress, suddenly stopped making all her ladies come to a stop. Princess Shin who was happy then, suddenly became sad and speechless.

Far away there, among the officers,

Jung Hyun's…

Should we meet, in this way?
