Next morning, the birds chirping outside woke up the sleeping beauty.
Taeyeon squinted her eyes at the scorching sunlight that shone through the curtains. She glanced at the clock on the wall. It is currently 8:00 a.m. She sat up from the bed and pushed away the heavy blanket.
The guy last night isn't anywhere in the room.
She clumsily got out of the bed and jogged towards the door. Leaning her ear against the door, she tried to hear what is happening outside the room.
She could hear a group of boyish laughter just outside of the room. They must be having breakfast right now as she could hear the knifes and forks hitting against the plates. The sudden growl of her stomach caused her to look down at her empty stomach and rub it gently.
"Hungry."she mumbled and pouted.
It's amazing to live with other people. Princess Taeyeon never had the chance to experience that, although she doesn't know what the people outside of this room looks like, she can already feel a warm vibe radiating through the door just by listening to their conversation.
Her fingers itch to turn the door knob and leave the room. But a constant reminder at the back of her mind keeps reminding her about the consequences of her actions.
The door was suddenly pushed open, causing her to fall back. Baekhyun stared at her, surprised to see her at the door. Taeyeon ignored him and set her eyes on the plate on Baekhyun's right hand. She was unaware about how hungry she looks to Baekhyun as she licked her lips at the sight of food.
"For me?"she asked softly. No matter how hungry she is, she still remembers her manners. After he nodded, she snatched the plate from his grasp and started eating. She didn't care whether she doesn't behave like a princess at the moment, she is too hungry to care.
Baekhyun smirked in amusement but didn't say anything. He went towards the wardrobe and grabbed a white T-shirt and a fresh pair of baggy pants. He smelled the clothing to make sure that it isn't smelly as it has been kept at the back of his wardrobe. It has been years since he wore this shirt as his fit body looks way too tight in the shirt.
"Wear this."he handed it to her. Taeyeon stared at it for a moment before reaching out her hands to grab it. "I know this isn't what you would want to wear, but I only have this."he added as she inspected the shirt.
"Thank you Baekhyun-ssi."she thanked him and turned to the bathroom to change.
Baekhyun nodded silently and left his room after that. It is time for work.

"She is weak and helpless! How can none of you find her?!"Lord Chun shouted at his soldiers. "Am I not paying you enough?!"he slammed his palm heavily on the wooden table.
"My Lord, we tried our best. But it seems like someone helped her escape."General Lee said.
"There is no way for her to escape! She is just a stupid little thing that is easy to get rid of!"Lord Chun shouted. All of the soldiers kept quiet, a few shocked to hear him say that about his niece. The Lord wanted her dead. "Fine then! Someone!"he called for someone and one of the soldiers ran forward to assist him. "Tell everyone that the Princess is dead. No one should know that she ran away."
"Yes my lord."the soldiers said simultaneously. After they dispersed, Lord Chun called General Lee back to have a word with him privately.
"Everyone will think that the princess is dead. But someone might be helping her to hide, so make sure that you find her and kill her on the spot, don't give her a chance to get to the throne."he said, lowering his voice as low as possible.
