chapter 5: you were romeo, i was a scarlet letter

(BaekJi)

Ting!

The sound of swords colliding. The spectators were cheering outside the ring. Everyone was dying to see the winner of the competition

Eunji-Come on Baekhyun, you can win this!

Eunji rubbed her hands nervously. She really hoped Baekhyun would win today's match as well. Because if he did, this would be his 100th medal

"And the winner is... Prince Baekhyun of Dorothea!"

Spectators-Yeay!!!

Eunji-Oh my God! Yeay! Baekhyun wins! My best friend wins! Yeay!!!!!

Eunji ran down from the bleacher

Eunji-Baekhyun!!!

Eunji screamed Baekhyun's name excitedly as she ran up towards him straight into his arms. Baekhyun caught her petite body, lifted Eunji up and spun around

Eunji-You win!
Baekhyun-Yes, I win!
Eunji-I'm so happy for you!

Eunji wagged her legs like a little kid. Baekhyun put her down

Baekhyun-Mother! Father!

Lord Minhyun and Lady Yulhee approached them. Eunji bowed respectfully to Baekhyun's parents who always treated her like their second child

Minhyun-Wah, look at this medal
Yulhee-Right, it is so shiny

Eunji-This is Baekhyun's 100th medal
Baekhyun-Oh, I am about to say that. How do you know?
Eunji-Come on, I never missed your match. Of course I count how many times you have won

Baekhyun ruffled Eunji's hair

Yulhee-Baekhyun, let me take your picture with the new medal
Baekhyun-With Eunji too
Yulhee-Of course, of course

Baekhyun pulled Eunji to stand beside him. He put one hand behind Eunji's hip, while the other hand raised a peace sign

Yulhee-Ready? One, two, three

Snap!

Yulhee-One more. One, two, three

Snap!

Eunji smiled at the camera. Suddenly she felt Baekhyun slightly grabbing her neck before he leant over and pecked her left cheek

Snap!

Eunji stood in daze

Baekhyun-Did you get that?
Yulhee-I did
Minhyun-You both look so adorable

Baekhyun took the camera from his mother to see it for himself. He grinned from ear to ear

Baekhyun-I will frame this photo and keep it in my room
Eunji-Tch, you and your childish behaviour

Eunji poked his arm

Baekhyun-Eunji, since I'm going to spend another night at my castle, what if we hang out before you go home?
Eunji-A date?
Baekhyun-Call it what you want
Eunji-Okay!

Sehun-Princess Eunji

Sehun as the guard who escorted Eunji approached her to inform about Namjoo

Sehun-We need to get back to Evermore now. The fifth princess was found unconscious. She has been brought back to the castle, and not yet regain her consciousness
Eunji-Princess Namjoo? Oh no, that is bad

Baekhyun-Seems like you cannot stay longer
Eunji-Yeah. I'm sorry Baekhyun
Baekhyun-Don't worry. Just go, I will see you tomorrow
Eunji-Okay, bye
