Yoon Ji is nowhere to be found!

Prince Min Shin's POV:

I was having conversation with mother Min about brother Dan Yul. When brother Dan Yul suddenly entered while smiling, he greeted us left immediately. I knew something was up! I think Mother Min also got suspicious. She started asking me questions that I didn't wanted to answer but I can't help it! I smartly answered them avoiding giving any details about Dan Yul's secret. But then she finally asked me,

"Do you know something that I don't????" asked Mother Min with narrowed eyes.

I felt like I have been caught in a crime.

'What should I do? I can't tell her everything. But I also can't lie to her anymore. What should I do? Think Shin, think' I thought and avoided eye contact from her.

"Min Shin!" said mother Min still with narrowed eyes.

"Don't you think mother, he was smiling way too much" I said while making it seem like I am suspicious of his act too.

"You noticed it too?" asked Mother Min with curiosity.

"Yes of course" I replied immediately.

'A little bit of pretending won't hurt anyone.' I thought with a smirk.

"Something is suspicious!" said Mother Min and stopped for a moment before saying "we must know what's going on"

'Why mother? Why you want to be a detective? One Yoon Ji is enough for us!! Leave the guy alone' I thought but kept the straight face.

"Or maybe he is happy seeing us. I like it very much when my dear brother is happy." I said smiling. I hope she will fall for it.

"You're right, me too. I hope he will always smile like that" she replied with motherly smile.

'Yes!! Yes!! yes!!! She fell for it' I was literally dancing in my thoughts.

"Well mother, I think I should meet him before royal court meeting. I must discuss some topics with him. I'll see you soon" I said smiling while leaving towards Dan Yul's chamber.

"OK my dear son" she replied while patting my cheeks.

I know I have controlled the situation for now, but that's mother, she won't stop searching until she finds the truth. I must warn brother!

Min Dan Yul's POV:

I was calming Joon about everything will be all right, Yoon Ji is fine and he should not take too much stress. Suddenly the door opened and Min Shin stormed in. He closed the door immediately and said,

"What is wrong with you, brother?" said Shin with disappointment in his voice.

"Don't you think I should ask that. Why did you enter my room nearly cracking my door?" I asked, confused by his behaviour.

"I think you should avoid that unnecessary smiling." Said Min Shin in a serious tone.

"You think so too, right?" said Joon in agreement and turned towards me and said

"I told you it is creepy" said Joon making weird faces.

"What is wrong with me smiling? It is not creepy!!" I asked. I felt hurt by those accusations.

"You were smiling while looking at your wound. That is wrong!!!! Normal people don't do stuff like that!!!" screamed Shin in annoyance.

"What is wrong with smiling while looking at your wound, I also do it sometimes" said Jong smirking, taking my side.

'Supportive friends be like. Love you Jong' I thought while smiling back at him.

"And Who said you're normal?" Joon started mocking Jong.

"What is the matter Shin?" I said in a serious tone this time, they all kept quiet and Shin replied,

"Mother got suspicious about you" said Shin with worried expressions.

"Okay, I will handle her. I just need one or two days and I will tell her everything myself. Anything else?" I replied in a calm tone.

'How can he be so calm. How can he have 'life is too beautiful' expression on his face in situation like this?' thought Shin looking at his brother.

"You should be careful about this brother. She's a commoner, not everyone in royal court will accept it that easily." Shin warned his brother.

"I don't care about them" I replied in a furious tone

"But she might do" said Shin hurriedly.

"Well then let's have lunch. We have to attend the meeting at Royal court" said Joon while calming the tension in the room.

We had lunch together and went straight for royal court meeting.

We attended the meeting. It was all old and the same topics. The Royals and rich wants their sons to be in my personal team. The old talk about my marriage and the fact that I'm turning twenty-five this Saturday that is, in four days. They also discussed some political matters and how our kingdom can grow. I can say the latter was more informative.

'Why do they even have to discuss topics like marriage in royal court?' I thought and ignored every topic related to my personal life.

After meeting Joon left without saying anything to us. We returned to my chamber and started discussing about new matters.

"Did he say anything where he is going?" I asked Jong about Joon.

"Nope, not a word" replied Jong looking at the papers on his hand.

"Must be some personal matter." I said and went back to work.

Shin was a bit too immersed in the work. Well that didn't surprise me at all as he is silent and patient guy and one of the great things, about Shin is, he does not like to interfere in someone's life until he is involved by the person himself.

We continued our discussion about the remaining topics.

After a while Joon came back worried. Anxiety was clearly written in bold on his face.

Looking at his anxious face it clicked me. There is only one person in this world which can makes him this way, 'Yoon Ji'.

"What happened? Did you find her?" I asked while looking at him curiously,

Then he replied in a disheartened tone,

"Nope I just returned from her house, she is nowhere to be found..."
