Chapter 99: Seon-Ho

Things were finally going well for us; until I got the message that I had to start preparing for war. We were both heartbroken, who knows how long this could go on for. The King had me staying at the palace all hours of the night already for a couple of weeks, so we just clung onto each other as much as we could but we really had no choice but to part for a while until I came back home. But I promised her and her brother that we would indeed marry as soon as I returned home.

She had plans for me on my last day before sending me off, despite me telling her not to do anything for me. She sent me on some ridiculous errand to a place that was closed until there was an arrow shot next to my foot. I looked closely at it, only to see that it was one of Hwi's old practise arrows he made for himself when we started training together almost a different lifetime ago. Then shot a row in succession leading me to the first inn we went to, to have our first drink together when we were 10 years old. I watched him in anticipation, not knowing how this was going to go but when I saw the smug look on his face I knew this had something to do with Yeon and couldn't help but throw a cushion at him which he was getting better at. He was always good at sparring but he used to have terrible reflexes for some reason. The minute I sat down we were served those terrible drinks again. We looked at each other and decided to get it over with, and we almost threw up again like we did the first time and before we knew it the hysterics got the better of us as we began to recounter all of our memories after that day. Thankfully Yeon had cleared up our misunderstandings before her confessions in the palace so there was nothing realty go over. I knew he had forgiven me the minute he gave his sister to me. Our relationship had been repaired before I went off to war and I couldn't be happier.

He sent me back home drunker then I had been for a while; I called out to her but she was nowhere to be found until I found her in the court yard fully immersed in writing and lighting almost 20 lanterns. I just watched her for a while, taking as much of her in as I possibly could before I left for god knows how long. I then made my way to her and peeked over her shoulder only to see our goals and futures that we talked about painted on each lantern before she told me to light them up in the sky without even looking at me. "I could smell you all the way from here. Did you have a good time, my love?" I swear I could never forget the way she looks at me ever single time no matter what mood she was in, all I could see was myself reflected in every part of her; her smile, her mood, her care...it was all me. I just bent down and kissed her deeply before we lit those together and lift them up in the air.

Living with her was absolutely amazing...well, when I could. And the way she was looking at me tonight...we approached each other cautiously before she positioned herself on my lap and starting kissing me like she never had done before, like she was eager to take as much of me in as she could before I left...her softness, her innocence was driving me absolutely insane...I had never felt such strong urges in all my life, all I wanted to do was to explore her over and over again...every part of her that I've been dying to see everyday since she let me have her whenever I wanted. She never said anything about it she couldn't...because she wanted me just as much as I did...and before I knew it we were both undressing each other. I owed to her brother to do this properly so we tried not to sleep with each other a lot...but it was like we were addicted to each other, needing to consume each other to breathe...
