The Necklace

"Did you force my sister to tell you something? My big sister is not the kind of person who likes to chat with other people," asked the prince without looking towards Dan Oh.

"yes, you can take it as you like," Dan Oh replied briefly. Woon nodded

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to be angry like that to you," the prince sincerely apologized to the girl next to him. Well he knows, Dan Oh did absolutely nothing wrong to him and he actually has no right to treat the girl harshly. He began to regret it now.

" No.... Never mind.... Wouldn't it be more of a relief to vent your anger at others than to keep it in yourself? At least we can apologize," Dan Oh said lightly and used her hand gestur while talking. Woon turned his head towards the girl with a clueless look, could he consider it that simple? He hesitate.

" That doesn't mean you can be grumpy all the time to someone else tough" Dan Oh plays her right hand and makes it seem like her fingers are talking. He opened and closed her five fingers as if her mouth was speaking. The girl voiced her opinion using her belly voice. She was trying to look funny to comfort the prince and smiled amusedly on her own silliness. But Woon only looked at her with a face that remained flat.

" Cchh, have you really forgotten how to smile?" asked the girl annoyedly as she lightly hit the prince's left arm. Woon just shrugged his two shoulder to answer Dan Oh's question. The high school girl then let out a long sigh at the lack of response from the descendants of the king of Hwon Kingdom.

"But.... Woon.... That's right, don't blame yourself anymore..." The girl omitted the prince's sentencez in front of his name and advised him like a close friend, removing the honorific Between them. Woon took his eyes off Dan Oh then looked silently at the grass beneath him. This was the first time anyone had directly called his name without a Prince word other than a member of his family, but he didn't care about the girl's irreverence towards him right now. Although the girl was not a royal descendant and just an ordinary civil society.

" Even without you... All living things in this world, in whichever dimension it is, will surely die. It's just that sometimes we are in the moment such an event happens and get involved in it. But that doesn't mean it all happens because of us, it's all just a part of destiny. And it's not your fault... "Dan Oh said a sincere smile to the Prince. Well she wanted the prince to stop putting all the heavy burdens on his owb shoulders and bear all regrets and responsibilities alone.

" Really?" Woon asked briefly as he looked towards the earth girl. Dan Oh just nodded steadily and didn't let go of her exchanting smile.

" So you know? I've heard this phrase before. The more we grow up, the more we will lose the reason to keep smiling, because of that. We are the ones who have to force ourselves to smile so that our lives become more beautiful and happy. So.... Smile... Smile... "Dan Oh said as she looked at Woon with a Full bright smile.

" Smile.... " The girl made a smile curve with her hands right in front of her lips, trying to get the man to smile by following her gestur. She kept putting on her smile and repeated her hand gestures several times and over a long period of time. But the prince still only looked at her with an unchanging flat expression, there wasn't the slightest smile on his face at all.

"Cch.... It doesn't seem to be happening to you," Dan Oh get annoyed by his lack of respond. She took her eyes off from Woon then looked at the night sky of mirac planet. In this place the moon looks more beautiful and so close. The antutus were playing romp with their kind of friends. Their happy chanting voice filled Dan Oh and Woon's ears who returned to their own silence. They could also see stars shining brightly in the sky, some stars showing flashes in yellow. Some were light blue flickers and some showed a majestic violet color. There is also a collection of stars that form a long milky-ways.

"waaah.... It is indeed a really beautiful night..." Dan Oh muttered to herself.. Woon followed the girl's direction and silently observing the sky. The prince then lowered his head then smiled for a moment after repeating Dan Oh's words in his mind. The girl didn't realize that Woon had just smiled because of the sentence that she said previously. He had just forced a smile in order to be able to feel a simple happiness once again.

"Eun Dan Oh" called Woon slowly. The high school girl turned her head and looked at Woon with a question mark.

"Where's your crystal? Let me put on a protector so that the Cheol monster can no longer feel its aura," the prince explained to the girl.

"Ah, wait for a moment..." Dan Oh said, taking out the blue crystal from her pocket and giving it to the Prince.

Woon, the prince of Hwon's kingdom held the crystal with his left hand then placed his right hand on top of the crystal. There was a bright red light emerging from his hand. The blue crystal that was originally shaped as a chunk of stone suddenly turned into a glowing white metal necklace with a crystalline-shaped pendulum of eclips surrounded by a faint blue light around it

" wooow... It's so beautiful... Do you want to put it on me?" said Dan Oh enthusiastically collecting her hair strand to the right of her shoulders and holding it with her right hand. She showed off the part of her neck that will be used as a place to hang the beautiful necklace. She also shifted her seat to get closer to the prince and showed her little back before Woon. Woon was silent to see the gesture from the girl. His mind drifted back to the events that had happened a long time ago.

" Look at here.... Father gave me a very beautiful necklace," Pysche said enthusiastically showing a new necklace on her hand that was a gift from Binju, her adoptive father. Woon took the necklace from Pysche and watched it closely. This girl admires and loves her father a lot, she always respects her father and wants Binju to feel proud of her. When the adoptive father gave her the gift of a beautiful necklace she felt so happy, she felt that his father loved her so much.

"Uncle gave you this?" asked Woon incredulously. Binju always looked serious and emitted a sharp aura around him. He never thought that such an uncle would ever think of giving a sweet gift to his adopted daughter. But seeing the happy facial expression of Pysche made Woon unable to show any other expression than to smile at her. Pysche was so enthusiastic about showing this necklace to her fiance shortly after she had just received it from her father.

"This...." Woon smiled and return the necklace on his hand to Pysche.

"I don't want to... Can you put it on me instead?" asked Pysche sheepishly and lifted her long silver hair and showed off her white bare neck. Woon just complied and put on the necklace carefully around the neck of the girl he loved so much.

" Does it look good on me?" Pysche asked happily while gently holding her crystal necklace.

"Beautiful," replied the prince with a smile. He didn't praise the beauty of the necklace. He was praising her lover's incomparable beauty instead. She is too dreamy.

Suddenly the memory of Pysche's beauty while wearing her new necklace and happy twinkle in her eyes came back in the prince's mind.

"What's wrong?" asked Dan Oh astonished when she saw the prince just fixated on seeing her.

"I don't want to, I want to eat now," Woon said, throwing the necklace at Dan Oh's feet. The prince picked up the meat before him and started to focus on eating it. He acted as if he was enjoying his solitude without any disturbance of Dan Oh's exsistence beside him. He treats her like a thin air.

"yak! You!" the girl was annoyed to get the treatment she didn't want from the prince. Reflexively the girl punched Woon's left hand hard because of her annoyance toward the prince. He was quite disappointed that the man refused to put a necklace around her neck and instead he threw it at her feet. The blow was quite hard but the man did not budge and chose to endure the pain on his left arm.

" What an annoying guy!" she snorted in annoyance toward the Prince Who doesn't take any attention on her and only focus enjoying his diner.
