An Apology

Da-eun spent the rest of her day thinking about that moment.

"Ha-jin, do you know about that person I met in the garden? What was his name again?.. Oh! Jeong-yook. Do you know anything about him?"

"My lady.. That is the Crown Prince!"

"He was really a prince?! Oh dear.." Da-eun panicked.

"My lady, what did you say to him?!"

"He demanded an apology after I'd asked him who he was, and I refused to do so!"

"Oh, my lady!" Ha-jin was as panicked as Da-eun.

"What have I done?!" Da-eun says frantically. "I have to apologize!" Da-eun went running out of the room.

"Uh- My lady! Wait for me!" Ha-jin said.

"Ha-jin, where can I find the Crown prince?!" Da-eun asked.

"You may find his highness in the garden at this time, most likely he returned after you left. His Highness is fond of that garden." Ha-jin responded. As Da-eun tried to find the garden, Ha-jin was trailing after her trying to stop her. When Da-eun arrived, she was out of breath whilst the Crown prince stared at her in disbelief.

"Why are you staring?" Da-eun asked. Jeong-yook started to laugh.

"What?"

"My lady.. there are crumbs around your mouth, you were eating biscuits earlier." Ha-jin explained.

What? Why did this have to happen to me right now? Da-eun thought. Still, she tried to laugh it off. "I came to apologize, if you won't take me seriously I refuse to apologize once again," Da-eun stated. "You're really stubborn, aren't you?" said Jeong-yook. "I am. Now let me apologize." Da-eun said as she wiped off the crumbs around her mouth. "Gosh, what am I doing? I'm so stubborn! I should just apologize and leave," She thought.

"Alright. Go ahead. Apologize." Yook said.

"I'm..." Da-eun didn't want to apologize. "-sorry." But she did. With that, Da-eun ran off embarrassed.
