Save You || Huang Renjun

Chapter 18 | "push yourself"

"Morning, Miyeon!"

She looked up as she exited her room door, expecting to see Renjuj standing there like usual but instead she saw Haechan smiling at her.

"Oh, hi Haechan." She said, returning the smile. "Do you go to training too?"

"Uh of course. Look at me!" He motioned to his tight training t-shirt and joggers.

"Well come on then, let's go."

She grabbed his arm and pulled his through the hallways, excitement coursing through her at the thought of returning to her training. She already felt better being back in her black training leggings and tight cropped athletic top.

"Okay someone's excited." Haechan said with a chuckle.

"I'm used to training for hours a day and I've basically been on bed rest for the past four weeks. Excited is an understatement." She laughed out as they entered the training room.

She was stunned by the number of people. All the princesses were dressed in similar attire, except where Miyeon's top was black, each of their's was brightly displaying their family colors. She saw the three princes gathered in the corner, all wearing a similar outfit to Haechan.

She made brief eye contact with Renjun before quickly glancing away, going to greet the other members of the guard who were conversing with Yangyang.

"Oh man, my reign is over." Jeno groaned out once Miyeon walked up.

"Well hello to you too." She joked as he gave her a quick side hug.

"Don't mind him, it's just that Jeno and Renjun out pace everyone in training" Chenle said while rolling his eyes. "But now you're here so... give em hell."

Miyeon couldn't help but laugh at Chenle's comments.

"I'm a bit rusty, my muscles are still kinda stiff, but I'll try my best." She said with a nod.

"Okay everyone, gather around."

Miyeon looked up as instructor Kim walked into the room with a few other trainers she knew well. They all quickly gathered in a semi circle around the trainers as Instructor Kim cleared his throat.

"Before we start today, I did want to make a special announcement about a new addition to this training group." He motioned for Miyeon to step forward, pulling her to his side with a smile. "Park Miyeon is Prince Renjun's personal guard. She's been recovering from a poisoned knife attack from a few weeks ago, but will now be joining us for training."

"It's nice to meet you all, I'll train hard." She said with a bow.

"Don't push yourself too hard yet, okay? Those were some pretty serious injuries you were dealing with." Instructor Kim said, looking at her with a stern smile.

"Yes sir, I'll be careful." She dipped her head to him as he released her, allowing her to go back to her spot between Jeno and Haechan.

"Alright, laps! Go!"

At his command the whole group began to run around the track bordering the room. Miyeon and Jeno quickly took the lead, easily outpacing the others. The two shooting playful glances at one another, egging each other on to run faster. Miyeon couldn't help but smile, overjoyed to finally be running and training again.

They were both surprised when a new boy joined them out front, leaving behind many of the others. Miyeon glanced at Renjun, seeing the prince running with confident strides.

He caught her looking, a confident smirks appearing on his faces as he pushed themselves harder. Soon Miyeon dropped back a bit, seeing Jeno's confused glance as he and Renjun took the lead.
