Flowers of Despair || Haruto from TREASURE

thirty-two

April 21, 2022

Haruto and Eunhye arrived at the Park Family Palace that now had cars filling up the wide, open front space. Their chauffeur dropped them off in front of the tiring flight of stairs which had most of the prince and princesses with their dates huddling in front. They saw some familiar faces wearing similar themed gowns and suits, several Cinderellas were walking with their baby blue gowns that resembled hot air balloons.

They approached Jaehyuk who was wearing a dark blue tuxedo with some some Darth Vader prints on it. "Oh hey Haruto." He turned his head and saw the two going up the last few steps in the endless-like stairs. "Woah Eunhye, you look amazing." He gasped and smiled widely.

Huiying heard the compliment and turned back. "Damn, Eunhye. You ain't attending a pageant but you're definitely queen of the night." She eyed her up and down, showing her inner bi self.

"You look pretty good yourself, Ms. Padmé Amidala." Haruto complimented her.

Huiying smiled in excitement. "Someone finally knows who I dressed up as!" She clasped her hands together.

A chuckle escaped Eunhye's lips. "Let me guess, Jaehyuk thought you were Princess Leia?"

Jaehyuk giggled shyly. "Actually, yes."

The four of them laughed. "Where are the others?" Haruto asked them.

"Hwayoung and cousins decided to be fashionably late cause they live here. As for the others, I think they're actually running late." Huiying told them.

"Oh Jeongwoo isn't late, he's been impatiently looking at his watch for 10 minutes now." The four of them looked at Jeongwoo who was leaning on the wall in the corner, tapping his foot repeatedly while angrily typing on his phone.

"Asha isn't here yet?" Eunhye asked.

"Nope. I kind of expected it though, her and Wonyoung are Aranya's best friends so they'd have special treatment throughout the event." Jaehyuk said.

Eunhye nodded in understanding. All of a sudden, an unrecognizable girl came up to them. "Hey guys! Showtime's in 5 minutes, you better line up." They stared at her for a couple of seconds before realizing who it was.

"Indigo noona?" Haruto tilted his head in confusion.

Eunhye and Jaehyuk glanced at each other. "Yeah, are the orange highlights too weird?" She asked while scrunching her face in disgust.

"No, no! You look pretty. The Kim Possible look suits you." Huiying smirked. "You look so pretty that I'd steal you from Jihoon any moment now."

Before more confidence overthrows Huiying, Jaehyuk and Eunhye simultaneously hit her on the head. Haruto and Indigo laughed when he saw how she was surprised.

"Ow???" Huiying said while glaring at Eunhye and Jaehyuk.

"I'll get going now, I'll catch up with you guys soon!" Indigo waved at them before walking towards the other groups to tell them to line up.

"What's with you guys? You hit me in front of a pretty girl!" Huiying whisper-yelled.

"Because you hit on a pretty girl that Jihoon likes!" Eunhye said.
