Unperfects

further away

A week has passed since that day. Although it has left a sweet memory but somehow Kinan never again contact Grace. Grace is still trying to think positively and she is focused on her therapy to recover her voice.

That morning Jero received an engagement invitation from Juna and Johana. Not to forget they also invited Yori, Ram, Kinan, prince Jimin and also Gio. Grace who got the invitation was also delighted. He thought he would surprise Kinan there.

Right at 11 pm, guests began to enliven a hall decorated so beautiful natural. Juna and Johana were taking their guests in turn.

Jero's coming with Grace. The girl was wearing a peach-colored dress with a slight polish of makeup on her face. Jero saw Grace's face so cheerful and looked impatient to get there.

"ayo's in. "

Jero walked with Grace to the room. From the door it appears that their friends have been present and are chatting together in the front row.

"Grace, you look so beautiful. "

Juna's praise instantly made Grace's smile widen. Grace threw away her gaze which was precisely fixed on the look of Yori's eyes that stood not far away in the right.

Grace immediately lowered her face in embarrassment.

A moment later there was a small commotion as the palace guards entered the area. Grace flipped over and looked at the figure of Kinan entering the place while slightly waving his hand greeting the other guests.

Soon Grace ran up to him with her longing smile.

"Kinant...... "

Kinan flipped not when he heard someone call him directly but unexpectedly two bodyguards immediately held Grace to not get too close to Kinan.

Grace stared confusedly at one of them and suddenly Juna came holding Grace's shoulder from behind with the other.

"Prince... "

Juna's greeting to Kinan made Grace stare at Kinan's bewildered.

"Pa - prince... "

Grace looked at Juna confusedly and before long Prince Jimin came from behind and directly grabbed Kinan's shoulder.

"Sister, you've arrived first apparently. "

Grace was still silent and Prince Jimin saw Grace and approached her.

"Hey Grace, you're here. We haven't met for a long time. I heard you had surgery, so how do you talk now? "

The question was only answered by a small smile by Grace and then her eyes were fixed on Kinan. Prince Jimin seemed to read the situation.

"Ah Grace you know it turns out that Kinan's brother is my brother. He is now officially a prince. The noble firstborn. He will be king. "

Juna and Johana's engagement ceremony went well. All the invitations gave a standing ovation to both of them.

Grace was just down. Since that meeting he has been silent as if he is reluctant to talk.

Yori saw him and came to him

"You okay? "

Grace who noticed Yori's arrival then bowed for a moment.

"I'm fine. "

" Do you have a special relationship with the prince? "

"Ah no, we're just friends."

"After he officially became a prince now his friends can no longer freely near him. He is controlled and must keep his attitude. Hope you're not disappointed by this incident. "

"I understand. Oh well I didn't say thank you for your help at that time. Again thank you. "

From where he stood Kinan still had time to pay attention to Yori and Grace. He asked how they knew each other and became close. Is because Yori who helped Grace when she was in the storehouse.

After the event, Prince Jimin invited Grace to visit the palace again. Grace agreed to it because she had not had time to say goodbye to the queen mother. But he went there in a different car to Kinan. Even Kinan didn't know Prince Jimin was taking Grace there.

Diistane

"Your majesty, forgive me for leaving the palace without your noble permission. I was anxious to ask permission in advance but the urgent circumstances made me unable to do so. Sorry I was acting so presumptuous. "

"I'm glad to hear your voice. You don't have to apologize. I knew it before. I should be the one to thank you for taking good care of your Majesty the king. I'm proud of you Grace. "

"It is my noble duty. Sorry if I can't take good care of it."

"I hear now that you've been offered a job at one of the big companies. That was very nice. You also have to pursue your ideals and work while young. "

"Grand thank you, I'll do a good job. "

"I will miss you so much, Grace thank you for all your help. You're very helpful. "

"I am happy that I am able to serve the palace and his majesty. Hopefully in the future everything will be fine and the prince.... "

Grace was silent for a moment as she was about to mention Kinan's name. The queen mother saw the change in the girl's face. The queen mother knew that Kinan and Grace were very close before.

"Why, is there anything that bothers you? "

"Ah no majesty, I just remembered that I must return soon."

"Alright then I will ask Prince Kinan to deliver you directly. Have you not seen each other for a long time. "

"No need, my majesty, I can be alone. "

"It's okay, don't refuse. "

The queen mother asked the lady to call Kinan and soon came to face her.

"Prince are you busy? "

"Not your highness. "

"Good then please take Grace home. "

Along the way to Kinan and Grace's apartment was silent. No one dared to start the conversation because there was a driver and bodyguard sitting in the front seat.

"Thank you for bringing me the prince. I'm going in first."

Grace got out of the car and walked in without looking. He could not hold back the tears he had been holding back. As soon as the door of the apartment was opened Grace immediately entered but unexpectedly someone appeared and held the door closed.

With a very heavy Grace who had been crying since being in the elevator then raised her face.

Grace immediately flips over and wipes away her tears as she finds out that it is Kinan who is in front of her.

" We need to talk. I don't want you to misinterpret my attitude."

Grace didn't know how to face and answer the prince. With a heavy heart he flipped and could only look down hoping that his tears would not fall but it turned out that the tears fell also in front of Kinan's eyes.

Kinan gently wiped the tears and walked closer to Grace.

"I didn't mean to cover this up from you. I just don't know how to tell you because I haven't been able to accept this situation. "

"The prince doesn't need to explain. I can understand. "

"Have your feelings changed? "

Kinan's question suddenly shocked Grace. It was a question that Grace should have asked after Kinan became a prince. But why did Kinan question it first.

"To be honest at the moment I have not fully understood the palace. His majesty the king has told me directly to replace him and you know I can't refuse. "

"That would be great. "

"Then what about us? are you... "

"I will pray that the prince will get a good soul mate who deserves to accompany the prince later there. I'm sure the prince will be a good king. "

"Grace... "

"If no one else wants the prince to explain, can the prince leave me. I feel tired. "

With a look of disappointment and without saying goodbye Kinan then left the room. Grace shut it down immediately and leaned there. His feet were so limp that he squatted down and cried there.

Grace used to be so excited after she had a new hope of being able to talk. Grace thinks her better circumstances will make her relationship with Kinan even better.

But it turns out that now Kinan's changed status makes everything in vain. Now Kinan has felt increasingly distant to make it impossible to get it. Grace could only weep lamenting her fate behind the door of her room.
