2 Family Dinner

"Hey, Youngmi, do you know Donghae?" Youngmi is Hae Min's personal assistant. She is the one who assists her all the time. Hae Min is currently taking a bath. "Yed. Rumor it is that all he says will affect you and it is the truth. Did you come and meet him? Why did you not tell me?" Yesterday, Youngmi planned visiting Donghae, but because she was looking for Hae Min all over the big kingdom. "I am truly sorry, Youngmi. I thought you were having your day off." She said calmly. Her act almost made Youngmi believe that she was not Hae Min! "I'm shook." She then laughed.

"Anyway. What's so special today that I have to wear Mrs. Wang Jihya's design?" She can't remember any events that is so important today. "You have not heard yet, your majesty? The Lees, Kangs, Ohs and Ahns." Youngmin explained. "I am not aware. Why do they have to include the Ahns and Ohs?" Hae Min sighed. She's aware that the they have an special role for tonight's dinner. "I don't know. Anyway, I want you to be aware that I am bound to leave Goryeo tomorrow. I am off to Boseong." Hae Min answered with a nod. Youngmin's father is sick. He caught a flu and no one is there to take care of him.

Afternoon... "Hey." A tap on a shoulder made Hae Min look at the back. "What's up, Yoonwoo?" She hooked her arms on Yoonwoo's arms. She likes being clingy to Yoonwoo! "Nothing." He replied. "Hey, by the way. I went to Donghae's home with Jinho!" Hae Min shared. Hae Min really like small house. What is a big house when it is full of competition? It can't be considered as a home. "Really? Good for you and Jinho. You probably enjoyed his company." He said with his jealous voice. "You're jealous. Don't be, I like you two fairly!" But what if they want more...? Yoonwoo sighed as he heard her answer.

"You do not have anything to do, do you?" Hae Min bit her lower lip as she nod. "That's why please, take me with you? I want to go to the town! As an advance birthday gift, please?" Yoonwoo chuckled before nodding his head.

As promised or as requested by Hae Min, Yoonwoo took her to the town. They went to buy clips although they have many and it's much expensive than what they bought. "I want to eat that!" Hae Min pointed at the cotton candy. As expected, Yoonwoo is spoiling her too much! "It's good." He replied.

It's almost dusk when they finished exploring. They were about to go back however, Hae Min saw the stall of lantern so she bought two. "Let's have a sit there first." They sat down below the big tree.

They wrote their wish on the lantern and let it go. "What did you write?" She asked. "I want to be with the person I love until the end. How about you?" Hae Min sighed. Every moment with Yoonwoo is surely priceless for her. "I wish... God will give me one reason not to give up." Yoonwoo raised his eyebrow. "One?" Hae Min smiled. "Yes, one. Yes, there is one hundred reason to give up in life but this one reason can make those one hundred reason to fade." She laugh, it's not like her. "Let's go. It's already dusk. They are probably preparing for dinner."

6:30 pm. "Good evening. Especially to the Ahns and Ohs." King Gyungwho said to show his gratitude for the two families. As they started eating, the elders is having a chat. "Attention, young ladies and young gentlemen! As Princess Soobin is in a relationship with the third son of General Ahn, I would like to match my daughter, Princess Hae Min to Oh Jiho! I think you will be a perfect match." Hae Min almost fell on her seat when she heard what her father announced. Luckily, Soobin was there to hold her.

"Father, can you excuse us for a while?" King Gyungwho nodded. Soobin brought her to the garden. "I am aware that you do not like to be married by force, Hae Min." Hae Min chuckled. She's left with no choice.. "Queen Hye Rin can not accept my love for him." Soobin held her hands.

"As your elder sister, Hae. I want you to fight for your right to love." Soobin said. "Sister... father can accept but Queen Hye Rin can not. I will try not to disappoint them this time. I will force myself to love Jiho then." Soobin was dumbfounded but still managed to react. "No! You can not force love... we have the right to love. Mother and Father can not dictate our hearts." Easy for her to say because Dohyun came from a wealthy family and was accepted by the Queen and the King.

"Atleast... I won't disappoint them..."
