STRONG AFFECTION : Chapter 41 – 50
By Naomi Cindy B
CHAPTER 49
Goryeo town**
Jimin got there with Kimora and Cory after two hours journey, Yul stepped into the town and Jimin sighed
“Locating the house of that punk will be hard” Jimin said
“What’s his name, let’s just search with that” Cory replied
“Minho” Jimin replied
It’s so dark already and it’s obvious that Kimora is very tired from the journey stress
Jimin held her shoulders and gave her an assuring smile
“Forgive me for stressing you….” He said
“No it’s ok…. being with you is what I want” she replied
Jimin smiled and faced the town again
They started walking in, pulling the tired horse along
They were lucky to find a man just about to go into a house
“Ahjussi” Cory quickly rushed after him
“Yes?” He replied
“Please…can you direct us to the house of Minho?” He asked
” There are two Minho’s, Hwang Minho and Shin Minho” the man replied
” Jimin, over to you” Cory said
” I forgot his surname already cos he only told me once, I’m not sure if it’s Hwang or Shin” Jimin replied
” Ahjussi, can you please describe the looks of the both of them?” Cory asked
” I have things to do” the man replied and went in immediately
“Darn it!” Cory said
“It’s my fault for forgetting his surname” Jimin said
They continued moving and for almost thirty minutes, they found no one, thankfully it’s a moonlit night
“This is ¢razy” Cory muttered
They’re at the base of a tree right now in front of a big house
“We can’t possibly sleep here” Jimin said
“Who are you guys?” A voice asked and they quickly looked that way to see a man who looks like a servant
“Oh…at last” Cory said and went to him
“Please can you direct us to the house of Minho?”
“Shin Minho or Hwang Minho?” The man asked
” This again… heck!” Cory said
“Shin Minho is my master, the only rich scholar in this town” the guy said
” Really?, Then let’s meet him, I’ll know if it’s him when I see him” Jimin said
” I can’t let you meet him just like that….” He replied
” Firstly where’s his house?” Jimin asked
” Right here” the man replied, pointing at the house they’re in front of
“Whoa!, Then go inform your master that someone named Jimin is here to see him” Jimin said
The man left and entered the house
“What if Hwang Minho is your friend” Cory said
” We just have to try it out first” Jimin replied, holding kimora’s hand
The man came some minutes later with a big smile on his face
“What did he say?” Jimin asked
“He’s coming by himself, I guess he’s the one you’re looking for” the man replied and a guy came out of the house immediately
” Jimin is this really you?” He said, rushing to hug Jimin
“Minho?” Jimin said, breaking the hug
” Can’t believe this , Jimin it’s really you, I never knew you’re back from France” Minho said, hugging him again
” You’ve changed a lot” Jimin said
“Were you expecting me to remain the same?, It’s been long” Minho replied
” I’m glad I met you, meet my friend and bodyguard, Cory” Jimin introduced
” He’s so handsome, you don’t look like a Korean” Minho said
” I’m a Frenchman” Cory replied
“I knew it, nice to meet you” Minho said
“Same here”
“And here…” Jimin said, still holding kimora’s hand
“My woman, Kimora” he said and Minho’s eyes widened
“My gosh!, Jimin has a lover whereas I haven’t even started seeing any girl, this is so ridiculous” he said and Kimora smiled
” She’s so beautiful…I’m jealous” he said
“Nice to meet you” Kimora said
” That tiny voice…gosh!, Jimin you’re so lucky!, Nice to meet you too” Minho said
” I’m sure you’re aware that I won’t come at night like this if there’s no problem” Jimin said
” Seeing your lover and your guard, I know there’s a problem but don’t worry, Minho will settle it, I know the second prince of Miryang won’t come here by this time of the night if there’s nothing up .. so how many years are you spending with me?” Minho asked
” Years?, You must be kidding, a week or two will be ok, we just want to escape the palace for a while” Jimin replied
” Two weeks is too short, I’m hurt” Minho said, touching his chest
” You’re ¢razy” Jimin laughed
“I have enough rooms, let’s go in” Minho said, leading them into the big house.

Next day, Miryang palace**
“Cal is missing, my Jimin is missing, Kimora is nowhere to be found, what’s happening in this palace” Sera said in confusion, opening the door to Suzy’s room
She met surprise… Royalty and Suzy are still sleeping…on the same bed
“Those two….are they really the popular arch enemies In this palace?, Changes is real” she said..
Suzy yawned and opened her eyes, she saw Sera and smiled
” Mother” she said, stretching like a star fish
“Queen” Royalty’s voice said beside Suzy, she’s just waking up too
“Your brother is not in the palace and now Cal is missing, Kimora hasn’t been found” Sera said
” What!” They both chorused, spranging up
“Cal is missing now too?” Royalty said
“Everyone in the palace is worried” Sera said and Rachel appeared immediately, grabbing Sera roughly
“What have you done to my son!, Where did you put him!, Bring my son out of wherever you locked him at,, Sera release my son!, You kidnapped him because you want your son to be the crown prince right?, Sera you’re playing with fire!, Bring out my son!” She said loudly
” Have you eaten breakfast yet?” Sera said, pushing her away from herself
” Go find something to eat so hunger won’t drive you ¢razy, for crying out loud my son is also missing!, Your son went missing this morning but mine has been missing since last night!, So what are you talking about!” Sera shouted
” What!” Rachel said
Sera stormed away while Royalty came to view with Suzy
“You always tackle everything with the wrong thing” she said
” And what are you doing in Suzy’s room” Rachel said
” She’s my sister, why can’t I stay with her” Royalty replied
” She’s not your sister!” Rachel shouted
“Get the heck out of my face!” Royalty snapped and left
Suzy smiled mockingly. ” Can’t believe the first queen is a fool” she said and walked away too
” Sera and her daughter….they won’t know what hit them by the time Sera hits rock bottom” Rachel smiled
The palace guards are on search already, round the whole town and the whole forest and woods of Miryang, searching for the two princes.

Cal’s eyes opened slowly and he tried to stand but when he felt a stinging pain on his belly, he stayed back on the ground
“Aarrgh!” He groaned loudly, unable to move an inch from his spot
His eyes feels heavy in their sockets and his whole body feels like steel
“Aarrgh!!’ he groaned loudly again, scooping sand into his palms painfully
Soon he heard footsteps and voices coming his way, nearer and nearer
“I found the first prince!” The voice of a guard shouted and more than five of the palace guards rushed to where he’s laying
“Your highness!” They said, shocked to see his condition
He was quickly placed on the bed carrier and when they saw his wounded belly, they made their journey to the palace very fast, one of them carried Darrin on his shoulders too
They got to the palace and he was quickly attended to by the palace physician who knows immediately that he wasn’t wounded by a human
“It looks like the claws of a dangerous animal” Rachel said
” No your highness, it’s the non-human” the physician replied
“What!, Non-human….. attacked my son?” Rachel said
“It’s surely her, and I’m afraid, his wound can’t be cured by ordinary means” the physician replied.

Suzy just finished reading the secret letter that arrived with the pigeon from Goryeo
She was in her room, brooding because of Jimin when the pigeon landed on her window, fluttering it’s wings and she saw a pink note attached beneath
She went for it and immediately she took the note, the pigeon flew away
?Top secret….. we’re safe somewhere, I and Kimora, Cory, so don’t worry, tell mother about it too….keep it a secret ~ JIMIN?
She finished reading it and beamed with smiles
She still pretended to be sad as she walked out of her room to Sera’s room
“Mother!” She gushed when she got in
“What?, Why that excitement when your brother is missing” Sera said
” Read this” Suzy said, giving her the note
Sera read it and sighed
“Must he do this?” She said
“Of course, he has to enjoy his love life, and I’ll help in frustrating Riya’s life before he’ll be back” Suzy replied happily then bounced out of the room
” Oh Jimin….I don’t want you to regret at the end, please be safe, and make sure that girl doesn’t get hurt” Sera said silently

Goryeo town**
Kimora was standing at the long wide hallway before, but then she sighted a butterfly, flying across
She went after it and started chasing it around like a kid
Now that she has her powers and strength back, she can do anything, Jimin made sure her remaining wounds were treated before she went to bed last night, he watched her sleep and didn’t sleep till daybreak
Minho was king enough to give them a big room then he gave Cory another room
The house is very big anyways and no one needs to be told that Minho is so rich
There are numerous maids and guards just like the palace too and everywhere is just clean and calm
Before the day broke, her remaining wounds healed up magically, maybe because of the necklace, she tried transforming while taking her bath and it worked
She got everything back including Jimin…all at a time
She can’t possibly ask for more and she’s more than happy here, it’s peaceful
She’s still trying to catch the butterfly when hands grabbed her waist from behind, his scent brushed past her nose and she smiled
“Now that someone is strong, butterflies won’t rest” Jimin said, placing his head on her shoulder and she smiled
” It’s just so beautiful, that’s why I want to catch it but now it’s gone, thanks to someone” she said and Jimin chuckled.
