The Virgin Outcast Who Stole The Empress Heart

Close enough

"Stop sneaking around, she is not in." I said loudly while chuckling in a mischievous way before whispering ."You're late."

"I'm sorry my lady, I was..." Jandi begins to explain but I interrupt her by saying "shush." After I've placed my middle finger on my lips then I toss a paper to her and begin scouting closer to her with a wide smile on my face.

"What?" She smiled when I began giggling. 

"I read it and it's him ..I told you he might be crushing on you too." I said in a singsong voice which made Jandi take a look at the latter then frown.

"What." I asked, confused by her sad face. I really thought the letter would make her very happy, not the other way round.

"I saw him today, he is the reason why I was late." Jandi said still not making any sense to me as I really thought the news would make her very excited.

"So he told you in person?." I asked, trying to figure out the course of her sad expression.

"Yes."

"And you're not as excited as a crush who found out that her crush loves her in return should be?." I questioned, still not quite getting any well detailed information.

"No." Jandi replied which made me put two and two together in my mind before the answers suddenly clicked. I turned quickly and looked at Jandi in disbelief and shock because I sincerely didn't see that coming.

"Oh my god! Tell me you love Yabo!." I yelled and immediately covered my mouth when I realized that I had yelled out loud and the guards outside might take it wrongly if they heard me.

This made Jandi begin laughing as ..I guess maybe my expression was quite funny and thank goodness the guards didn't hear that as no one has come in asking.

"I love Yabo!" Jandi replied while still laughing but not loudly though ..it's more like chuckling.

"Alright, we're done talking." I paused thinking. "You've seen me naked Jandi! The Empress will have your head if she ever finds out."

"No my lady, the Empress knows I wouldn't dare but please don't tell her." She pleaded.

 "This is so complicated and weird but how come I thought it was Min Yonghwan? ..hmm. I'm sure I've caught the two of you one day giving each other the eye love thing. You will glare at him and when he thinks your attention is somewhere else, he will start looking at you." I said still finding it hard to accept that what I saw wasn't love.

"We're just friends ..Me and Yong-hwan. He told me today that he loves me but I told him that I only love him as a friend and that I love Yabo." Jandi explains smiling as if free from having to hide her feelings towards Yabo.

"I am so sorry." I said looking really sorry which made Jandi look confused as she didn't know why I'm feeling sorry for her.

"Why are you sorry?" Jandi asked, looking confused.

"Yabo of course ..she doesn't seem like a woman who can love someone. Whenever I look at her, I see a warrior, a hard fighter ..damn! Her aura once scared the shit out of me." I said as I began to hug Jandi while still giving her the pity look which I'm sure is annoying the hell out of her.
