--timeskip: 4 weeks later, Saturday--

Yena's POV
I sighed as I plopped down on my bed. My head was in a mess. After 4 weeks of lessons, I'm so ready to leave the castle.

But of course, something is stopping me from leaving.

And that something has kept me preoccupied for these few weeks.

--flashback to the first day of lessons--

"Ah. So tired." I yawned as I plopped onto my bed. Lia and Ryujin followed suit. They followed me again.

"I could just fall asleep here." Ryujin said.

"Yeah. Me too." Lia yawned.

"Yeah..." I muttered.

"Oh right. Yena, you still haven't told us how you know the prince. We get interrupted all the time." Oh right.

"Right. So, we met at the ball."

"Wait, so you were the only girl who danced with the prince that night." Ryujin and Lia both sat up, staring at me.

"Yeah. But we met before that day."

"WHAT?" Both shouted. Ouch ears.

"Yeah. Twice, in fact. Once when I accidentally bumped into him at a cafe. Another was when I was at a pasta restaurant with my brother."

"Lucky bish." Lia nudged me.

"I guess."

"So what else is there?" Ryujin continued asking.

"Oh right. After the ball one night, I was by the Han river late at night. I nearly got kidnapped, but he saved me."

"Omg how did he know?" Lia asked.

"Apparently he was stalking me."

"WHAT?"

"Yeahhhhh I was kinda creeped out as well."

"Why was he stalking you?" Ryujin frowned.

"He said he likes me."

"WHAT? EEEEEKKK!" Lia squealed.

"Wow. That was.... very straightforward." Ryujin said.

"Oh my gosh you are so lucky! Imagine what the other two girls would be feeling when they hear this HAHAHAHAHA!" Lia laughed.

"They can go cry in the corner because the prince doesn't like spoilt, rude bitches like them. Huhu." Ryujin mimicked their crying and we all started laughing.

"Okay but the real question here is..." Ryujin looked to me.

"What?" I asked.

"Do you like him?" I remained silent.

Do I like him? Like, really like him. Not just pity him or anything.

"Wow. Poor prince."

"L-look, I dunno yet. Let's just.... wait."

"Okay but, you better hurry and sort out your feelings. Because girl, you're gonna hurt him real bad if you give him false hope." Lia nudged me.

"Yeah.... I better sort it out...."

--end flashback--

So yeah. Now, I have no idea what to do. I'm still not sure. But.... I guess I'm closer to being sure. Because one thing I know is,
