"We don't have to hide it...why do you care so much?" Dong-Mae mumbled, holding you against his chest. Although he knew why you did.

If someone were to walk in on you two it would cause chaos. You, a renowned noble giving affections to some lowly samurai. This affair was hidden from the public, since your reputation as the future heir was to be held. Dong-Mae spent countless days and nights with you; and seeing you acting as if none of it ever happened in public irritated him. What if your father decides to marry you off to some other man? He wouldn't hesitate to stop it right then and there.

He's tired of hiding this relationship.
