CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

"you are the crown princess for goodness sake and you represent the kingdom of korea"

"grand aunt !!"

'hung-ok this is not the time to grandaunt me"

the queen regent says moving away from the window of her office towards where hung-ok stood beside the seat in the office,with an and gesture from the queen regent the maids in the office vacated the office leaving both her and hung-ok alone in the he quite office,the office looked very nice but at the same time cold

"I am sorry ,but what do you expect from me to watch while Chang min gets hurt, sorry but I can't do that,he has helped me too much to let him get hurt because of me",

"everyone has a role to play and for Chang min that is to protect you",

"what if he got hurt In the process of protecting me"

"stop thinking weak,I have risked so much for you,you seem to forget who you are dealing with ,and that's not only princess hung-a,you are fighting for better korea forget who does in the process,with your attitude I don't think you are ready to face princess hung-a heads on"

"why?, because I have feelings, fight to protect those I love and care for?,if that's the case then sorry to disappoint you,queen regent but I am not hyun-a and never will be"

"do you know the reason I haven't done the crowning ceremony to officially crown you the crown princess ?,it because you are still too weak, and you still haven't shown me you know what it takes to rule Korea,that is except from going out from troubles hung-a gets you in"

"what are you trying to say,that I am not good enough,are you being threatened by any chance"

avoiding hung-ok questions the queen regent continues

"get yourself the favours of those powerful enough to support you I can only help you to a certain point",

"You will be having dinner with the minister of health son,I will send you the details".

"oppa,what happened?,who is trying to get you killed"

suzy asked looking frightened,Kang tae has just finished checking up Chang min whom insisted on not visiting the hospital

"suzy,you are not helping at all don't make the patient more frightened",

turning to see Chang min not the least bit looking weak or frightened

"and here he is again looking like superman,what the hell do you his guy think he is?"

"oppa isn't like you at all ,scared over little things",

"and who told you so? "

Kang tae asks not paying attention to them Chang min puts on his shirt

"are we going there,the fact that till now who haven't got the gots to ask boss lady out"

suzy says as she began to laugh hard getting an unfriendly look from Kang tae ,at that moment they noticed hung-ok at the door side

your highness we didn't know you where there

Kang tae says

"can I come in"

hung-ok walks in interrupting their discussion

"of course your highness"

suzy says dragging her brother along with her, giving both Chang min and hung-ok their privacy

"where are you going ?"

hung-ok asks on seeing Chang min adjust the collar of his shirt

"I am going to work"

"are you serious,you just escaped a near death situation",

"that doesn't mean I shouldn't get back to work"

"fine,but at least take a day off",

"it's seriously nothing"

"Chang min I said take a day off,it's an order,do you know how worried I was , I am still not out of it yet,I thought I had lost you ,I thought,,I_i_i thought"

hung-ok stuttered trying so hard to hold back her tears,which came out anyways ,that was when it hit on chang min,he has someone to worry about,who couldn't bare to see him get hurt,

"princess,look at me, look I am alright"

Chang min says trying to cheer hung-ok up , walking towards her, walking towards her confidently even when he had just escape a near death experience, laying his hands on her shoulders, this making hung-ok raise her head up to look at him,Chang min then brings out his handkerchief to clean her tears

"sorry for ruining it "

hung-ok says,

"I know you will call me a cry baby but seriously I was not planning on crying,but you are not helping at all,I thought"

hung-ok kept on talking under her teary voice, interrupting her Chang min says

"okay,fine I am not going anywhere today,I will stay indoors"

"but you keep on behaving like a superhero______"

finally realising what he said hung-ok stopped talking to leave ok at him

"you said??"1

"I will stay indoor today"

chang min repeated himself

"now stop crying before I am locked up for making the princess cry"

in amusement hung-ok says

"wow,I didn't know mr bodyguard knows how to make a joke"

"it was not a joke"

chang min says looking serious

"you need to get back now before people starts to wonder what you are doing at my place"

"can't I stay ?"

"no it's not right for you to stay"

"is that so mr Chang min ,but you don't seem to mind when hung-a does a delivery service to you, letting all the maids walk in when ever they please"

"no",

chang min replies as he tries to lay back on the bed, seeing this hung-ok walks over to his side in assisting Chang min to make him more comfortable

"what do you mean by no"

"I mean no other significant lady has been in here except from you",

this made hung-ok blush, trying so hard not to let him know those simple words affected her this badly not knowing Chang min could see how happy she looks while adjusting the bed spread,her smile looking like he could just stay here looking into her eyes, unconsciously Chang min raises his hand to tuck the loose hair behind her ears creating a tense atmosphere around both Chang min and hung-ok ,this made hung-ok recall what happened between them the previous day,

"a penny for your thoughts"

chang min says

"I was thinking I am lucky to have you in my life"

"ditto"
