The Royal Debt (BTS)
  • The whole scenario dissolves and a new scenario came up in front of Eun Yeong...
  • It was a small ancient-looking local market. It was surrounded by mountains and had a nature view which was the reason, most of the rich families of Hanyang came here to spend their holidays with their families and friends.
  • During these days, the local market was lively and different kinds of things were available and different kinds of roadshows were happening over there, everything was very awesome and entertaining.
  • In a corner, there was a circus-like show playing and a little girl wore a pink hanbok, her hair remained loose behind her back, she had big eyes and in her hands, she was having a tanghulu (Hawthorn Candy). She was looking at the show with full concentration.
  • A man was slacklining and playing with the balls in his hands and that little girl saw this and she was amused with it and started to copy that man.
  • She was trying to copy his steps and her concentration was on his feet, her eyes were looking at his every step and she started to walk in the same manner on the corner of the road.
  • Her concentration was only on his walking that she didn't notice that other people were started to observe her as well. People started to make space for her so that she didn't bump into someone.
  • However, a little boy standing in her direction and he was also coping that man. Although, the little boy's concentration was on the hands of the man. The way he was playing with the balls without losing his balance.
  • The little boy started to copy the exact moment of that man, at what time that man sprang up the ball, and at what time he caught that ball.
  • They both had the five balls and the little boy was doing the same movement exactly as that man.
  • Even people started to admiring that, how this little boy learned so fast without practice and that was so perfect without losing balance.
  • Both little girl and boy were so immersed that little girl didn't notice that little boy was standing in her direction and even that little boy didn't notice that little girl was coming towards him.
  • Therefore, the little girl bumped into that little boy and both of them lost their concentration and both of them fell to the ground.
  • The five balls of the little boy fell on the road and tanghulu of the little girl fell on the shirt of that boy.
  • The little girl thought that she would feel intense pain, but she didn't feel it, as she fell on the boy. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the eyes of the little boy were closed and his expression was in pain, might be his back was hurt.
  • The little girl tried to get up, but she fell on him again and the little boy's expression turned into extreme pain, his eyes were still closed and he tightened his fist and his breath was heavy as if he was enduring the pain.
  • The little girl saw this and her eyes started to tear up and she started to cry "Ahh…".
  • When the little boy heard it and then only, he opened his eyes and looked at her and immediately helped her to get up and worriedly asked "What happened? Did you get hurt somewhere?"
  • Because of crying, the little girl's face turned red and her face was covered with tears and she shook her head.
  • "Then?"
  • "Because of me, you get hurt on your back," she said in between sobbing.
  • The boy was taken aback, he knew that he didn't make any sound then how did she know that he got hurt on his back?
  • However, he tried to console her and lied to her "No, I didn't get hurt anywhere".
  • "Really?" the little girl opened her big eyes which turned red as well as her face, but she looked so cute.
  • The little boy nodded and smiled.
  • "Eunnie…" Someone called out.
  • That little girl was Lee Eun Yeong and the little boy was the future emperor Jeon Jeongguk. At that time, she was 5 years old and he was 10 years old.
  • "Nanny…" Lee Eun Yeong got up and ran towards her.
  • The nanny saw Eun Yeong's red face and worriedly asked "Eunnie… What happened? Does somebody bully you?"
  • Eun Yeong saw that her nanny was looking hostilely at Jeongguk.
  • So, Eun Yeong hurriedly said, "No… I was the one who bumped into him and hurt him".
  • "You hurt him," The nanny asked and angrily looked at her.
  • Eun Yeong saw her nanny, pursed her lips and her eyes started to turn red again.
  • Then Jeongguk saw Eun Yeong's expression, he immediately got up and went towards them "No… It's not her fault. It was me, who didn't see her".
  • Eun Yeong turned towards him and widely opened her eyes and asked in a high voice "Why are you lying? It was me, who didn't see you".
  • "No… I am not lying" Jeon Jeongguk protested.
  • "No… You are lying" Lee Eun Yeong shouted.
  • The nanny saw both of them and shook her head, she didn't know whether to get angry with them or to console them.
  • "Okay, stop it, both of you. Little Bunny, What was your name?" The nanny softly asked.
  • "I am Jeon Jeongguk".
  • "Jeongguk, I am sorry. I know, it's this child's fault. Whenever she is here, she always bumped into someone and everyone shouted at her, because of her negligence. However, you aren't like them, so thank you so much for not being rude towards her and taking care of her" the nanny softly said.
  • "Don't worry, Aunty. She is now my friend, so I will take care of her" Jeongguk said with a big smile on his face.
  • "Really?" Lee Eun Yeong was shocked. She didn't have friends because she didn't have her own parents, so other children didn't want to become her friend. Jeon Jeongguk was the first person, who said that he would become her friend.
  • Jeongguk nodded and smiled.
  • "But… I didn't have my own parents. Will you be okay with that?" Lee Eun Yeong asked and pursed her lips, in fear that might be, Jeongguk would shout at her and now he wouldn't want to become her friend.
  • When the nanny heard her, she became sad. She knew that other children didn't treat Lee Eun Yeong well and even she didn't complain to her about that and also hid many things from her.
  • "Stupid, I want to become friends with you, not with your parents. So what if you don't have your father or mother" Jeongguk said.
  • When Lee Eun Yeong heard it, she became so happy that she hugged him tightly and she was giggling. Because of her sudden hug, Jeongguk took a few steps back, but he balanced himself and softly patted her back.
  • The nanny saw that both of them had spoilt their clothes in dust and Hawthron candy, so she interrupted their happy moment "Okay, come on now, and let's buy some dresses for both of you".
  • Then, she turned toward Jeongguk and asked: "Did you come here alone?"
  • "Aunty, I came here with my sister-in-law, she will meet me here".
  • "Ohhh… If you don't mind, would you come with us, so that I can buy clothes for you as well?" The nanny asked.
  • "Yes, Gukkie comes with us. We will buy a matching dress" Lee Eun Yeong said happily.
  • Jeongguk thought that his sister-in-law would take some time to come here, so joining them would be a good idea, then he agreed "Okay".
  • The nanny took them to the nearest shop so that they would reach this place on time to meet Jeongguk's sister-in-law.
  • Both Jeongguk and Lee Eun Yeong brought red hanbok and when she wore it, she was looking super cute, even Jeongguk couldn't take his eyes off from her.
  • When he saw that Eun Yeong caught him, then he immediately diverted his sight to the other direction and pursed his lips and his ears turned red because of embarrassment.
  • Then he saw that his sister-in-law had arrived at the decided location and she was looking for him.
  • "Aunty, my sister-in-law has arrived, I have to go," Jeongguk said to the nanny.
  • The nanny saw that queue at the cash counter was long and that it would take time and then she saw a woman, who was standing at the corner, where earlier Jeongguk and Lee Eun Yeong were standing.
  • "Okay, you should go. Your sister-in-law is waiting for you".
  • Lee Eun Yeong held his sleeves as if she didn't want him to go. Of course, she got a new friend, how could she let him go?
  • The nanny saw her and she bent down and patted her back "Eunnie… Jeongguk's sister-in-law was waiting for him. He has to go, dear".
  • Lee Eun Yeong looked at her nanny and shook her head and instantly her eyes turned red.
  • Jeongguk saw her red eyes and he came forward and patted her head "Eunnie, what about this? we will meet again. okay! What's say?"
  • Although she didn't want him to go, she knew that she couldn't stop him as well, so meeting with him again was a good idea.
  • "Promise?" Her big black eyes looked at him with hope.
  • Jeongguk nodded and said with a smile "Promise".
  • Then only, she reluctantly left his sleeves and let him go.
  • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • Next Morning ~
  • The next day, when Eun Yeong woke up, she had a bad headache. she got off from the bed and went to the living room to look for medicine.
  • But Seorin had already been in the kitchen and making ginger soup. She knew that only this soup would help to remove the headache of Eun Yeong.
  • A bright smile appeared on Eun Yeong's face and she went into the kitchen and hugged Seorin from her behind and softly said "Rinnie…I Love You".
  • Seorin hurriedly moved and took a few steps away from Eun Yeong and said in a sharp voice "Eunnie…, I am telling you, I am a straight girl and I am only interested in men. So you better stay away from me".
  • After all, Seorin still didn't forget, what Eun Yeong had done last night.
  • Dumbfounded Eun Yeong got a call from Ryu Min-Hyuk for a meeting, and she knew what would the purpose of the meeting.
  • Amuse Imperial -
  • Min Eun Yeong entered in the Amuse Imperial, all people had their eyes on her. After all, the video played at Amuse Imperial's anniversary party got viral on social media after the end of the party. There was no need to say who was the person behind this.
  • "Why didn't you pick up my calls? Ryu Min-Hyuk annoyingly said.
  • "I am wondering on which matter President Ryu wants to talk to me so eagerly" Min Eun Yeong calmly replied.
  • "I want you to go and apologize to the Kwon Family".
  • Eun Yeong raised her eyebrows and said with a smile as if she was already expecting this "Can President Ryu do the honor and tell me why should I apologize?"
  • "Eun Yeong…I know it was you, who play the video at the party and released it on social media afterward… Don't try to play smart with me" Ryu Min-Hyuk knew that it was Eun Yeong who deliberately play the video at the party, but he didn't get any evidence against her, only God knew how she was able to get that video, even that girl in the video gone missing without leaving any trace.
  • "Is that so? So, President Ryu . . . can you show me the evidence that proves that it was me who leaked the video" Of course, she wasn't the naïve to fall in the tricks of Ryu Min-Hyuk and do whatever he wanted.
  • "Eun Yeong… whether you have done it or not. You can't break this engagement. President Kwon is the biggest investor of Amuse Imperial and we can't take the consequence of losing a big investor. You have to think about the company".
  • Eun Yeong smiled bitterly, sometimes she hated herself for having the blood of his man in her veins "President Ryu, I have a better idea. Why don't you have your beloved daughter marry the Young Master Kwon? I am sure Kwon Family not only stay in the company but also they would be grateful, after all in the end, Ryu Yang Sun would inherit the shares of this company. Don't you think it is a good idea?"
  • "Eun Yeong…How dare you bring my daughter in this?" Ryu Min-Hyuk was in a rage.
  • Of course, he would never allow that Kwon Hwang Kyu, the playboy, to marry his beloved daughter.
  • "Why . . . did I say something wrong?"
  • "Eun Yeong . . . . can't you do this for the sake of the company, your grandfather had put his blood, sweat, tears, and his precious time into this company. Can't you do this at least for the sake of your grandfather? How could you be so ungrateful?"
  • 'Ungrateful?'
  • 'For the sake of the company'.
  • "Didn't you use these same tricks on my mother 25 years ago, President Ryu?"
