Princess Charming (saida au)

Chapter 5 : Just a Smile

   It was another day. Another normal day for others but not for Dahyun. The poor girl didn't got enough sleep, she stayed up until the older Japanese girl gets to sleep comfortably on her bed.

   And for this day, Dahyun has to act less nicer than she really is, less charming than she is and more importantly, less herself.
  She has to show the Japanese Princess around, as Jackson had stated; "You should take her out on dates.. A woman like her deserves it." As expected from her brother, he never fails to give the best advices.

   Dahyun went to the palace's greenhouse to  make a bouquet of flowers herself and gift it to Sana, of course that is with the help of Jeongyeon.
   "What's up with the "good–morning–flowers"? I thought you're doing with the "Junho–approach"? Y'know? The prank?" Jeongyeon asks as Dahyun picks the flowers. She's genuinely confused and curious as to what changed in Dahyun's plan. She knows the shorter girl always wants to stick with her plans, if not she has a whole ass list of plans. But this time, she's lost, she can't predict what Dahyun has in mind nor will the latter tell her what it is. "I just want to welcome her like how a normal person would." Dahyun answered nonchalantly that made Jeongyeon arch a brow. "Uh-huh, and greeting her a simple "good-morning" is not a normal way? You really need flowers?" Jeongyeon asked, a smirk itching to form on her face. And with that simple remark of hers Dahyun grew silent, she stopped picking up flowers and contemplated.
   "It said in the files that she likes showing affection towards others and she likes to recieve it too. Would she hate it if I give her flowers first thing in the morning?" Dahyun kept on contemplating in her mind, not noticing another person's presence beside her.

   "What seems to be the problem Junho?" A very soft and loving voice caught her attention. When she turned to see who it is; Jeongyeon's already bowing and standing before them is the Queen mother– Queen Sunjeong. "Grandma, good morning." Dahyun greeted with a bow. "What are you doing here in the greenhouse Junho?" The Queen mother asked, eyeing the flowers Jeongyeon is holding. Then she turned to Junho. "Oh Junho, trying to impress your future Queen, I see." The Queen mother chuckles and leads them towards the royal gazebo in the garden.

   Inside an unfamiliar room; walls painted white, purple curtains and porcelain vases decorated with purple flowers, Sana liked the ambiance of her new room but it still doesn't feel like home for her.
   After getting up; still sitting on her soft and fluffly bed, a series of knocks were heard followed by a muffled but loud voice: "Your Highness? Princess Sana?" Sana didn't hesitate to answer and invited the girl in. A Korean woman entered. She reminds one of a bunny because of her front teeth; she's smiling warmly at the Princess, too welcoming for Sana. "Breakfast is ready. You must go and get ready yourself, I'll prepare your clothes." The bunny looking girl informed with another warm smile and then went to rummage around Sana's closet. "You must be wondering who I am, your highness. I'm Nayeon, your personal assistant. Your father had suggested for someone to look after you since Prince Junho has a reputation of being an ass. I mean, he's so childish and immature sometimes but he's a nice person." Nayeon turned to make sure the Princess doesn't think so bad of the Prince after what she said. "Trust me, he's really nice.. Some times.. I guess." She tried to convince further before going back to the closet. On the ither hand the Princess is confused, because she's certain the Prince looked so kind the night she arrived then her cousins advice pops in her head and she thinks may be Momo was right, she should get her guards up.

   After getting all dressed up, Nayeon led her towards the huge beautiful garden. It amazes her how colorful and how wide this place is.

   "Welcome to the garden your highness." Nayeon cheered as she skipped ahead of the brunette princess who has a noticeable expression of awe on her face. "It's beautiful isn't? Unfortunately the sole caretaker of this wonderful garden had left to study overseas. Half of the flowers that you could see here died, because Prince Junho tried to take care of them on her behalfbut miserably failed. The Princess didn't flew back though, she stayed there and hadn't got back home since she left.." Nayeon blabbered out sadly as she looked at the flowers, then she turned back to Sana with a very cheerful grin. "Anyway, I'm sorry about that. It's just that this garden was very important for the previous King and his Queen." Sana was about to ask question when another girl– a taller girl came into view. "Bad mouthing the Prince, are we now Nayeon?" The tall girl with blonde short hair asked, clearly trying to annoy Nayeon. "Tsk, Shut it Jeongyeon." Nayeon crossed her arms over her chest and rolled her eyes at the girl. However Jeongyeon only laughs at her and turns to face the brunette infront of her. "Princess Sana." A bow before proceeding with her presences purpose. "The Prince is waiting for you at the gazebo." The blonde then points a hand towards the center most part of the garden, where the gazebo is.

   Sana then went on ahead not minding the two girls bickering behind her. In front of her is the beautiful gazebo, inside it was a white clothed table and a full breakfast set and the Prince standing not far from the table; he's back is facing her. As the brunette stood beside the table she cleared her throat to get his attention, which worked immediately. When the Prince turned to face her, he showed her his warmest and kindest smile. "Good morning, Princess." He greeted.
