Chapter 29 Chapter 10.2
We arrived in South Korea. I didn't realize it was so cold here. I forgot to get a jacket before we boarded the plane. The cold wind greeted us, making me almost shiver. I hugged myself, but it wasn't enough. Desmond was still waiting for our luggage, so I sat down while waiting for him.
When he arrived, he had our suitcases with him. He approached me and put the thick jacket on me. He also put the scarf on me. I was just looking at him while he was doing that.
"I forgot to take out some things earlier before we left. I can't open our suitcase here, so I bought one at a nearby store here. Are you still cold?" he asked. I shook my head because the thickness of the jacket he put on me was enough to keep me from getting cold.
"I already got a taxi, he's waiting outside. Let's go," I followed Desmond. He was the one pulling our suitcases. My bag was also hanging on him. When we got out, the cold weather greeted us even more. The road was almost all snow. I got into the taxi while they were putting our things in the trunk. I looked around. I didn't think I would reach my dream country.
I thought it was just impossible for me to get here because of the difficulty of our lives.
"Are you okay? Are you still cold?" Desmond asked me again when he got in.
"I'm okay," I answered. We took the road to the hotel where we would stay. I was smiling as I looked outside. I lowered my window because I wanted to see the surroundings clearly. I also wanted to see the snow falling. All the people I saw were wrapped up. I felt like I was just dreaming. This is exactly what I see in my dreams.
It took us an hour before we reached the hotel. When we arrived at the hotel, the staff greeted him immediately to help him carry our things. He's probably known at this hotel. It seemed like they were really waiting for Desmond's arrival because I noticed that they were waiting at the entrance.
We were guided to our hotel room. When we entered, it was warm, it seemed like the room heater was already open so it would be warm when we arrived. I went to the window, I could clearly see the surroundings below us. The road was all snow, it seemed like the snow was strong now because there were trucks cleaning the road to remove the snow.
"Did you like it?" I faced Desmond and then smiled and nodded at him.
"This is my dream country. I thought I would only dream of going here. I'm not the one you expected to be with here, but thank you for bringing me here." He smiled at what I said.
"It's good that I brought you, you seem more fun to be with." He said softly, so what he said wasn't clear to me.
"What did you say?" I asked him. He shook his head.
"I'll have our food delivered." I just pouted. I really didn't hear what he said. What was his reason for bringing me?
When the food arrived, I sat down so we could eat. I dreamed of tasting the food of Korean netizens.
"By the way, why didn't you bring Macie here? Did she reject you?" I asked while my mouth was full.
"I was just planning to tell her about my vacation plan here, but I didn't tell her when she told me that she was going back to France and renewing her contract. I also got angry when she said that she couldn't choose me yet. I didn't force her anymore, I also didn't tell her about our trip to South Korea." I nodded. "Can we not talk about her from now on? I don't want to hear her name anymore. I feel like there's something she can't leave in France, that's why she doesn't want to come home here yet. The truth is why I got angry at her, someone messaged her cellphone and I saw the contents of the message. He was asking when she was coming back to France because he missed Macie. We fought because I felt like she had another man in France." I became silent at what he said. I just nodded and didn't say anything more.
Macie has another man? If she already has someone else, why is she still giving Desmond hope? Why did she make Desmond wait so long?
I looked at Desmond, he's kind when you get to know him. Handsome, tall, with a muscular body, rich, and loving, what else is Macie looking for?
After we ate, we rested first. Desmond said we'll go out tomorrow because he doesn't want me to get tired. I fell asleep because I've been getting sleepy these past few days.
The next day, Desmond and I went out. He asked me where I wanted to go, I immediately told him where I wanted to go. When we arrived at the palace, I went straight to the hanbok rental place.
"I want to try wearing their hanbok, can I?" I asked for permission. Desmond is the one spending, so I always ask him if I can.
"Do what you want to do, whatever makes you happy." He answered, so I smiled. I chose a beautiful hanbok. When I chose one, two women fixed my hair. They put hair accessories on me, and I was very happy while looking at myself in the mirror. I still felt like I was dreaming.
When they finished fixing me, I stood up. I looked at my whole body in their human size mirror. I looked like a princess. I didn't think I could still look more beautiful. When I was done, I went to Desmond, who was waiting on the sofa.
"Let's go, let's tour the whole palace." I said smiling at him. Desmond put down the magazine he was holding and then looked at me. I smiled sweetly at him and then showed him what I was wearing. He was just staring at me in a daze. Doesn't what I chose suit me?
"Isn't it beautiful?" I asked him. He shook his head, so I frowned.
"You look like a princess, you're so beautiful, Heaven. Now, your name suits you." I felt my cheeks heat up, so I averted my gaze from him. "Wait for me here, I'll change too." He said and then chose what he would wear.
When he was done, I looked at him. I was the one who was stunned by him. He looked like a korean actor, what he was wearing suited him very well. Was he a prince in his past life?
"Do we look like we were meant to be now? I'm the prince and you're my princess. You're the most beautiful woman here, Heaven." He said seriously to me. I swallowed hard. I went out first because I felt like I was running out of air.
