Eunseol, who had dressed in military attire to go to the training ground, changed into different clothes and went outside. It seemed unlikely that she would be going to the training ground.
Nevertheless, she needed to find the Grand Prince. While pondering this, he unexpectedly appeared in front of her, holding an umbrella.
He looked at her intently, not with an angry expression but not with an overly affectionate gaze either.
“I heard you were looking for me. Even if you weren’t, I was planning to go to the training ground, but I couldn’t because of the rain.”
“Is it okay?”
“……Yes?”
He, who she thought would be angry, unexpectedly asked if she was okay.
For a while, she stood there in a daze, only regaining her senses when she saw him narrowing his eyes.
It seemed like he was asking about the alcohol from yesterday.
“I’m fine. My head hurts a bit, but I can endure it.”
“I didn’t ask about that… It’s fine. Since it’s raining, and there are things to discuss while cooling your sore head, would you like to go to Dowonjeong with me for a moment?”
“D-Dowonjeong?”
She couldn’t understand why he wanted to go to Dowonjeong, a place with painful memories, on a day when it was raining.
She sighed silently and muttered to herself.
“If there’s something to discuss, let’s do it in the room…….”
“Isn’t the room stuffy? It’s more painful to stay in the room with aching heads. Don’t worry; there won’t be thunder and lightning on a day like today. Besides, you can’t live your whole life in fear. Now, are you afraid?”
It was only now that she realized that what he asked earlier wasn’t about a hangover but rather his fear of rainy days.
In an instant, her heart, which had been quietly beating, began to pound violently.
It was fortunate that the sound of her heart, resounding like a drum, was drowned out by the sound of rain.
“Aren’t you going?”
“Ah, I’ll go. Just wait a moment. I’ll bring a coat.”
“You don’t need a coat. Hold onto this.”
He handed her the umbrella and took off his jacket to put it on her.
After firmly tying the strings, he took the umbrella again and went down to the yard.
“It might seem a bit cramped, but it’s better than being exposed to the rain and wind. Shall we go now?”
She walked side by side with him under the umbrella.
With each step, their bodies touched and separated repeatedly.
The tension made her whole body stiff with nervousness.
Eunseol deliberately walked a bit away from him to avoid bumping into him.
“If you walk away like that, your clothes will get all wet. Why did you lean on my chest so comfortably last night, and now suddenly you’re avoiding me?”
“What? Leaned on? Who leaned on whom?”
“Well, I’m not saying you’re using a cliché like ‘I don’t remember,’ right?”
She bit her tongue, refraining from saying she doesn’t remember.
It wasn’t a cliché; she truly didn’t remember anything.
What on earth did she do last night?
She was curious, but the returning answer scared her so much that she couldn’t bring herself to ask.
“Yesterday, I made a mistake because of excessive drinking. I’m sorry.”
The words she managed to say were an apology.
He seemed to emit a light laughter.
“There’s no need to apologize. I didn’t feel that bad. Instead, getting to know the mistress’s heart, it might become an unforgettable night for me. Now, let’s go.”
“…….”
“You don’t have to be so tense. You didn’t make a big mistake. Also, even if the mistress doesn’t remember, it’s okay. It’s always a bit lonely for me to remember alone, but doing everything alone is familiar to me, so that’s okay too.”
His gaze, which had been directed towards the empty air, suddenly became profound and reached her.
Was it an illusion?
The look in his eyes as he gazed at her seemed warmer and more affectionate than usual.
On one hand, for some reason, he seemed persistently determined. Faced with his explicit gaze, she averted her eyes first.
Without reason, her heart fluttered, and she couldn’t breathe properly, swallowing dry saliva.
At that moment, his hand suddenly moved up to her shoulder.
“Your clothes will get all wet. Come inside the umbrella.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his firm arm wrapped around her shoulder.
Her face became as hot as it could possibly get.
It was awkward but good.
It was embarrassing but happy.
For the first time, she didn’t feel scared but rather enjoyed the rainy day.
Then, someone came running from a distance, breaking their attention.
“Lord, you should go and see.”
“What now?”
Annoyed, he asked as he glanced at Seo Yeom, who had rushed over.
As if determined not to let Eunseol escape from his grasp, he tightened his hold even more.
Seo Yeom turned her head slightly.
“There’s a message from Lord Taesung. He said the matter you requested has been resolved, and he’s asking you to confirm.”
“Oh, really? I’ll go soon, so get ready.”
Watching Seo Yeom disappear into the rain, he handed over the umbrella.
Turning back, he embraced her shoulders and spoke slowly.
“What should I do? It seems urgent, so I should go.”
“I’m fine; please go quickly.”
“Today won’t work because of the rain. Come to the training ground around noon tomorrow. Oh, and make sure to come dressed in military attire. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”
Eunseol, who hesitated for a moment, replied in a soft voice.
“Yes, I understand. But why do I have to come to the training ground?”
Before she could ask about the reason for coming to the training ground, he quickly moved away from her sight.
Why on earth did he ask her to come to the training ground?
