<YONA'S POV>
'What have I just done?' I brought my hands up to my face, clearly not doubting if my face looked like a bright red tomato
'How could things have progressed that far? What does Hak think of my actions?' Then the memories that were made only a few moments ago ringed in my head, my body still feeling the warmth of his touches, his lips. My body still had the urge to feel him against; flesh against flesh.
"So what were you two doing just now?" Kija voice brought me out of my thoughts.
Just before our friends had entered my courters, Hak had made sure to dress himself as if he hadn't just discarded his clothes onto the floor moments ago, he even helped me into my night gown,Though I wasn't even aware of him so in the first place.
I quickly tried calming myself so the others wouldn't see how much of my face was blushing from remembering the physical contact that both me and Hak just had. But my attempts on hiding my blushing face had failed as Yoon had noticed it.
Yoon walked up to me and kneeled in front of me since I was sitting on top of my bed while Hak was leaning against the wall by my bedside.
'How can he seem so calm right now?' I thought to myself before hearing Yoon's voice
"Yona, are you all right? Your face is a bit red" he asks me while a worried expression, putting his right hand on my forehead to check my temperature
"A-ah, Yes...I'm not sick, so don't worry Yoon" I replied with a smile on my face as I use my hand to move his away from my forehead
"Are you sure?" I just nod my head as a reply, still feeling a little shy
"Though I wonder why you face is so red, you wouldn't happen to know the reason for this do you Hak?" Jea-ha asks him while raising an eyebrow in his direction, arms crossed over his chest. His silky green ponytail sitting on top of his right shoulder, his posture calm, leaning abasing the wall adjacent from where Hak is standing
"Oh? What makes you think that I had anything to do with her face being red?" Hak was now the one raising his eyebrow at Jea-ha, causing him to let out a loose chuckle.
"A-anyway, why are all of you here?"
"Oh thats right" Kija's beamed as if he had just remembered what task the had come for in the first place "Your majesty, we were worried about your well being considering on how that foul lord had acted towards you before" He said to me, his hands balled into fist, a fire in his eyes-showing his rage began to grow as the memory of how the young noble had grasp Yona hand, fear in her eyes.
I could feel the anger raiding off of Kija, so I stood up from my bed and warped my arms around him, hugging him.I raise my head to look up at him since he was a taller than me like the rest besides Yoon. (He hasn't really grown all that much since I was coordinated)
"Kija, I'm all right ....You all got there in time, please calm yourself" I said to him with a smile, which he happily returned a smile while nodding.
"Well, its already late, we should get going, so the miss can rest" Zeno said crossed legged on the floor, The others agreed and soon disappeared from my bed chambers but Hak continued to lean against the wall next to be my bed.
I tilt my head "Aren't you going to leave too?"
"Do you want me to leave?" He said nonchalant
I only shrugged and walked back to my bed and sat on it to fix my blanket, getting prepared for bed — hopping to end this conversation quickly, since I was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with it just being me and him alone.
'I can't look at him in the face right now, I'm still too embarrassed. If the others didn't appear when they did , then-' I shake my head back and forth trying to get rid of such thoughts, not wanting to blush in front of him.
'If Hak sees me blushing, he would clearly tease me for it, especially since he knows that he's the cause for it'
"I don't want any rumors spreading that you only have your position as general once more just cause you carry favor with me" I say bluntly while fixing my pillow on my bed
He raises an eyebrow at me "I'll take that as a no then?"
"Take it however you wish to take it" I replied back not looking at him, completely waiting for him to leave me be in peace
"Really? then if you don't mind" I suddenly hear his voice behind me, the bed dipping behind me causing me to automatically turn my body around to find him sitting merely an inch from me
"W-what are you doing Hak?"
"I'm staying here with you, what do you think I'm doing?"
I turn around away from him once more "I thought I told you to leave"
"No, you told me to take your answer however I wish it to be, so I took it as a yes to stay by your side tonight" He told me while getting into a comfortable position on my bed.
I turn my body in his direction and kick him off the bed "Well to bad, now I'm telling to scram"
He sits up and rubs his head "How could you do that? I thought you wanted me to stay with you?" He asks me with innocent eyes
I just throw a pillow at him "Don't try acting cute, now leave - A girl needs to have her beauty rest"
"A girl? Where I don't see one" He says while looking around the room
"WHAT?!" I get up and start throwing things at him, causing him to run out of my room. Once I heard the door close, I took deep breaths to calm my beating heart that felt like it was going to come out of my chest any minute since we were alone together.
'I don't know how long I could last with the two of us alone together, Calm yourself my beating heart' I plop down onto my pillow 'I hope he didn't hear you'

<AUTHOR'S POV>
--------->TIME SKIP/LATER THAT NIGHT<--------
A shadow figure dances in the room casted by the moonlight showing through the window. The curtains blowing due to the gentle breeze coming from the outside.
A scented candle now lit, the small light dancing with the breeze of the wind. Its scents distracting, causing one's scenes to lose itself all together, their mind being slipped away from them.
A young girl sleeping on her bed, her bright red hair smooth as silk seems to be dimmed in the moon light but could still be easily seen. A shadow hovering over her, the figure unknown to be either man or woman. A gentle hand moves a piece of the young girls hair behind her ear, to get a clear view of her sleeping facial features.
'Master was right, despite being young; her red hair complements her-making her unique all together' The mysterious figure thinks to themselves while squatting down to get a better view of the girl
"You shall forget about the four dragons, you shall forget about the wind tribe general......Your lover is the Noblemen Zang Yong. The four legendary dragons and Son Hak are your enemy" They pause for a moment
"You came here on a romantic retreat with his lord, Zang Yong and they have already attempted to take your life"
For the rest of the night, the mysterious figure kept saying such things to the young girl in her sleep; which was slowly working since the candle that they had lit wasn't an ordinary one. It was used to alter ones memories. The changes of it working were 50/50 but if properly done, then it would be a success. Little did they know that this figure had the proper skills to pull off the task.
So the young girl wouldn't even know that her memories were being altered, let alone in her sleep and neither did her comrades.
-------> TIME SKIP/NEXT MORNING<--------
Yona felt a hand brushing against her face, causing her to flutter her eyes open. She sees a mescaline figure before, she recognizes the face before her and a smiles appears on her face.
"My love, did you have a wonderful nights rest?" He cups her face with his right hand and asks her with a calm, soothing voice
Yona holds his hand which was cupping her cheek and leans into it "Yes,What about as well my love?"
"Well-"
"What is the meaning of this?" Another figure wearing dark blue clothings walks in, his hair-dark black and his eyes, bright and deep like to sky above. "Since when was he your love, your majesty?" He asks once again with a tint of anger hidden in his voice
Yona looks at him, while putting her hands and the mans hands in hers down on her lap. She tilts her head and asks him with confusion clearly shown in her voice towards the man in blue before her, her brows furrowed as she asks him.
"Who are you?"
=========
A/N:
Well not going to lie, I was lazy as fuck to write anything for the past weeks — but the good thing was that I wasn't lazy enough to not focus on my studies for my finals...(lol)
I also had problems writing for this chapter, I had a general idea of what I wanted to happen but I couldn't figure a way to properly write it out, if you get what I mean.
But I also think you guys waited long enough for this chapter, thats why I just finished writing it so late, especially with my struggle of this chapter.
But as always I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
sorry, not sorry about the chapters getting short here and there
until next time~
