»THIRD PERSON«

1980s, Korea

[A/N: Please note that the time period mentioned is just to give a brief imagery of a retrospective landscape and does not hold any resemblance to the actual past events.]

To say, Lalisa's life was very much sorted out; she thought it was perfect. Being the daughter of the Thai nobility who was pursuing her higher studies in Seoul, Korea and soon about to graduate with the academic excellency she had, she was more delighted for a grand celebration.

Her upcoming wedding, with the prince of the modern-day Jeon dynasty that ruled over Korea, Jeongguk.

Although many may point out that this was just a marriage of convenience, an arrangement made to maintain their social ranks, it actually isn't.

On the contrary, this marriage was happening out of love, perhaps a first in modern day royal history. And so, Lisa wanted it to be iconic, memorable. And she had big plans for it. After all, it was going to be her big day; she had grown up reading about fairytales, being taught that the biggest dream she should ever dream of as a young girl should be only and only, her marriage.

The idea may sound absurd for something to progress till the 20th century, although these are customs and rituals which aren't bound to fade away very soon, especially if they've been going on for centuries, isn't so?

"-think we need to shift dates of the bachelorette party by some days. It coincides with my last paper." Lisa groaned as she stood beside Jungkook on one of the balconies, rubbing her palms in distress.

"You seem to be so worried regarding all of this." Jeongguk remarked as Lisa turned her head at him.

"Its my wedding, it doesn't come and go every year like a birthday. Ah it's cold." She hugged her arms that had now turned cold, evidently due to the gentle gusts of wind whooshing through.

"Come, let me hold you." Jeongguk reached for his hand and almost immediately pulled Lisa into his embrace as the latter was taken by shock.

"Yahh~" she cooed. "What if someone will see us? Your grandmother, the reigning queen made it clear to not show public intimacy unless we're not married."

"So this means I can't hold my future wife now?" Jungkook made his signature pout, the one that got Lisa swoon over him for the millionth time about now.

"We still aren't married yet in the end of the day."

"Marriage is basically a validation to our relationship. Although I can't wait to mark you mine in front of the world."

Lisa snuggled onto Jungkook's overcoat a little more as he graciously opened his arms a little more, letting her in.

"I love you", the couple expressed at the same time as they leaned onto each other, looking up at the star studded sky.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Roseanne chuckled as Lisa scoffed.

"Rosie, of all people in the world I can't stand my bestfriend address me as a queen. It seems so....awkward to me."
