Sitting under the palm tree while looking at the sunset, oh my, this must be a real paradise.

Far from the city, my mom's nagging and from him who almost take me, this place is my hero.

Not so far away, there is a man digging sweet potatoes as if he is on a treasure hunt. It was Boo Seungkwan, a childhood friend of mine.

"Don't sit there like a queen! Come and help me!" He shouted, and left me no choice but to stood up and dragged my feet to him. "Have at least the slightest conscience, (y/n). You came here after running away from home yet always sitting pretty like a princess. Gosh, your grandma feeds a good for nothing grandchild like you."

I don't hear my mom's nagging here, but he is not much different from her. Damn.

"I know I know.  I'll help, all right?" I sulked, as I pretend to help him by touching the soil with my bare hands.

"You," he started.

"What?"

"What did you do again? Every time  you are in trouble,  you are always running away from home and ended up slacking  here. It's  been 10 years since you came here and there, back and forth. So tell me what did you do this time?"

He is right. When something happened at home, I tend to ran away and spend my days here; my hometown.

"If only my parents allow me to study in the city, I'll never come back here. You are lucky while I'll stay as a province boy," he complained.

I looked at my friend and saw his face full of dirt. He maybe looks like a farmer in his clothes and his state, but actually he is the son of the richest man in this town. They owned almost all of the farm, even the ground I am sitting at right now.

"I am getting married."

"WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?! KIMBAP BE KIDDING?! REALLY?! TO WHOM?! WHEN?!" He almost blew my ears, along with his widened eyes.

I picked up the sweet potato he harvested. "To a stranger. I don't want to get married. That's why I came here."

Seungkwan tapped my back . "YOU MADE  THE RIGHT DECISION.  DON'T EVER COME BACK HOME. STAY HERE AND AS YOUR  FRIEND, I'LL PROTECT YOU. "

Good thing Seungkwan is here. At least, there is someone on my side.

"But what if your parents pick you up? And what about your exam? You want to be a teacher right? You can't stay here forever," he questioned before drinking on his bottled water.

There was a long sigh, before I  made an unsure answer, "I don't  know. All I want  is a peace of mind.  Maybe after some time,  I can make a decision, whether  to marry him or not."

Seungkwan gave me his bottled water and I drank on it. "Then what about..."  he paused for a moment. "Marrying me?"

I sprayed the water on his face! And bursted out of laughing. "THE BEST JOKE EVER! HAHAHAHA!

Irritatedly,  he wip his face and mumbled, "And the most dirtiest thing  ever. Good job (y/n). Good job."

"I know you  are the richest guy I ever met.  But having an idea of marrying  you is so creepy!  It feels like marrying my own brother. That is so yucky. Y.U.C.K.  YUCK."

"I was joking you fool!" He yelled before hitting my head using his dear sweet potato.

"Ah! It hurts!" I winced in pain.

"Who wants to marry a girl like you? I'll date a cow instead. Cow is 100% much better than you."

"I'm 100% sure that the cow will reject you."

"Should I put you in a car and take you home?"

"Oh my dearest Seungkwan. You are the most handsome guy I met. You are fantastic, great and a genius. Someday, I'll collect a stone and make a statue for you."

We stared at each other and laughed together.

I missed him a lot. He is one of the reason why I chose this place when I want to forget all of my worries. I am very lucky to have him.

"Are you coming to the party tonight?" He changed the topic.

"Why should I? You know I hate elegant parties."

"Me too. I rather harvest a crop than have sweet talking to my father's guests. But this time, I have no choice. My uncle is coming back."

"Uncle? That uncle who I never saw before?"

"Yes. So my father will make a feast. Come on (y/n). Come at the party. I'll buy a dress for you." He holds my hand and begged me using his old technique which is... pouting his lips. Argh! So cute!

Well, maybe I'll help him this time.

"Okay okay. I'll come."

"Yippie!" he even hugged and so I pushed him away.

"Don't hug me! You smell so bad!"

The sun set down.

Wearing the dress Seungkwan bought for me, I went to the party. It's been so long since I came here in their house. Nothing changes, it is still so big like before. No doubt that my friend is really rich.

"Where is that stupid moron?" I mumbled to myself, looking awkward while finding him.

"You are not from here, aren't you?" A man approached. The first thing I saw is the wine he is holding. Next is his golden watch, his white tuxedo, his silver piercing and now, up to his handsome face. This tall man has those rounded eyes and his face is maybe smaller than my fists. Who is this freaking handsome guy? His voice is so cute but his aura is sexy! Kyaaah!

"Yeah, I am not from here. I am from the city. My friend invites me to this party," I shyly answered while tacking my hair behind my ear, even though it is already placed there.

"Want a glass of wine?"  He offered as he got another wine of glass from a maid who passed by.

"No. I don't drink wine."

"Why not? You are on the right age." How did he know?

He put the glass of wine on my hand and clinked our glass together.

"Cheers?" He said.

What to do? I cannot decline his generous offer. Besides, he is one of the guests. He looks rich and I'll bring trouble if I annoy him.

"C-Cheers," I replied and drank the wine at one shot.

Oh? It tastes sweet. Not bad.

"Can I have another one?" I requested.

"Sure,"  he said and give me another glass.

Twinkle twinkle  little star. How I wonder what you are? Up the sky the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle twinkle little star. How I wonder where you are.

This is bad.

I feel so dizzy.

Am I drunk?

All I see are stars!

Who am I?

Where am I?

"Seungkwan, Seungkwan, where are you?" I whispered.

My back fell against a soft fabric. Am I laying on  a bed? Wait. Who brought me on a bed?!

I used every strength I have to open my eyes. There I saw a blurry face of the handsome man I met a moment ago. He is looking at me, maybe only an inch away.

"W-Where am I?" I asked.

"Inside a room, and in my  bed,"  he answered.

"What? Did you make me drunk so you can rape me?" Gosh, I feel so dizzy.

"Why not?" He chuckled.

"Bas....tard. Handsome bastard," I said and my eyes automatically closed.

Then in my unconcious state, I feel a soft lips brushing on my forehead.

"Goodnight (y/n)," he whispered.

And before my mind went all blank, I heard my friend voice:

"UNCLE! DID YOU SEE MY FRIEND?! SHE IS WEARING A RED DRESS! AND HER NAME IS... WAIT. Why did you come out from your room, uncle Minghao?"

"Oh, a girl get drunk. So I let her sleep inside my room."

"Girl? Who is she?"

"My fiance."
