-Chapter 22- Promise (1/1)

She struggled against the grip of the person, trying to scream but it didn't work, her screams were muffled and whoever this was, was too strong for her. "Stop struggling," it was a male voice that whispered into her ear. And she froze immediately. As long as it wasn't one of Krystal's friends then she wouldn't have to worry anymore."That was easy." He whispered to her, removing his hands and turning her around, she recognized his face even in the dim hiding place."Prince Sunggyu?" She asked.He put a finger to his lips and pointed out the small window. They were hidden behind a door and she saw that two girls walked past looking confused."Where did she go?" The girl farther away asked."She was right here," The other maid said.The maid from earlier walked up to join the other two, "Did you get her?" She asked breathlessly, she had probably ran from the stables."No we lost her." They said in unison.The maid that stole Sungjong away had a disappointed look at her face. "Princess Krystal is going to be mad at us..." "We tried," The other girl said.The leader rolled her eyes, "You know that's not good enough for her.""We even planned this out. Prince Sungyeol gave her medicine to recover and she was walking to way with Prince Sungjong.. So where could she have gone?" The last girl said with a sigh.Sun Mi turned to Sunggyu, "They were trying to kidnap me?" She asked him.He nodded, "It was Krystal's new idea." He told her."Get me out of here." She told him, not looking at the girls behind her."There's a passageway into my room from here." He told her, taking her hand and leading the way. They walked up a flight of stairs and he pulled her into his bedroom. He sat on the bed and pulled Sun Mi into his lap."I knew this would happen." He said, with a sigh. He gently ran his fingers through her hair."How did you know? I thought Sungyeol was the one that saw the future, Dongwoo controls emotions, Woohyun can read minds, and I'm guessing Sungjong talks to animals?" She said."I have the ability to take their abilities for myself because I'm the leader." Sunggyu answered her, his fingers still combing through her hair, relaxing her.She took deep breaths as he started to massage her shoulders and eased her into her comfort zone."You'll sleep in my room tonight, okay?" He asked her, not really for an answer, just to make sure she knew that's what he wanted."Mmmmmmm...." She replied as he released the tension from her body.He continued to massage her as they both started to rest and lie down on the bed. She faced him as he started to caress her face slowly."Will you tell me about those scars you have now?" He asked her.Sun Mi cringed slightly at the thought but she knew that if she should tell anyone, it should be Sunggyu."It'll be easier if I show you while explaining." She said, fiddling with the twists on his arm. He had this stylish long sleeve shirt on and she wondered how he wasn't hot."Go ahead." He gestured for her to do so.Sun Mi turned around, facing her back towards him before she eased the shirt off slowly, she unclasped her bra and took that off too before holding the shirt to her chest. Sunggyu's eyes scanned her body thoroughly, seeing the scars he missed before.He noticed marks like cuts but he also noticed some burns as well as the areas where her skin never really healed from a bruise. He could see the lines where scars lined up together across her back and to her arms, the cigarette burns as well as the burns from actual flames.He also saw the marks left behind, random handprints and circular bruises that looked like fists, all hidden beneath a layer of skin. She could hide it with clothes or makeup but not from his eyes. Her body started to tremble as she felt his eyes stare at her.Sunggyu sat up and started to kiss her back softly. He kissed every scar he could find, just a soft peck, but his lips trailed over her body as he kissed the pain away."Where did you get all of these?" He asked, his breath tickling her back. Sun Mi's head tilted back involuntarily as the sensations of being kissed gave her a good feeling."My parents… They would get drunk and argue a lot. And I would take the blame for everything." She answered softly as Sunggyu reached her lower back."You don't deserve that." He said, still kissing away her scars. He continued down her back until he kissed everything before he pulled her into his lap, her hands still holding the shirt up to cover her breasts."It was my life." She told him, he had turned her forward so he could kiss her other scars, reaching her arms and collarbone."It won't have to be that way ever again." He vowed sternly, staring into her eyes before pecking her lips once. Sun Mi fell into the kiss as Sunggyu dragged it out before pulling away slowly."You promise?" She asked, the hope she had before had returned. She could live a life where getting hurt wasn't a daily occurrence. Where she would know what it would feel like to be loved.He wrapped his arms around her before kissing slowly again. "I promise." He murmured against her lips before she did the same forgetting about the shirt between them. Author's Note:
