𝟶𝟷 𝚝𝚘𝚘 𝚐𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚎

Laughter, faint giggles, glass clinking with each other. Another party, another fake smile to pull off.

or maybe not?

Why did my lips naturally curve upwards at the sight of her with that red dress?

Damn, that red dress.

She knows exactly how good she looks with that red dress and she has the audacity to come here, looking like a whole ass meal with that red dress? She indeed loves playing with the fire.

I hate her but why I can't help but staring at her.

Damn, why she has to look that pretty?

"Greetings for the princes." her voice, that smile, that freaking eye gaze.

"Princess Hyejoo, you're looking so beautiful, just like the night. Beautiful and mysterious."

"Come on, Kook. Stop with your flirty gaze. Where's your brother, Joo?" can't they just stop talking to her? She was a betrayer!

"Oh, he's tasting the food, Tae. He said he's hungry. You know him." stop being so friendly with guys, you little pretty fox.

"Oh, I wanna taste some too."

"The food? You just ate, Kook!"

"Oh, I thought we talked about Princess Joo." that's it.

My legs betrayed me as I stood up from my seat, walking furiously to her and grab her wrist after I shot them my death glares. I knew why they're doing this. Taehyung and Jungkook know exactly what happened with me and her. They were trying to 'help' but Jungkook's natural flirting behaviour didn't sit right with me when he does it with her. Even though I know he did it on purpose to tease me, I hate it.

I hate to see it.

"What do you want, Park? or should I address you as Your Highness?" I wish I could erase that smirk away with my lips.

"Listen here, whatever you're trying to do. Stop it."

"What do you mean, Prince? I don't even try to do anything. I just came here to enjoy this party and-"

"That's what I mean! Stop coming around in front of my eyes looking all so pretty with this dress and talk to my flirty friends like I don't exist! Like WE don't exist!" I'm being too dramatic, but I can't help it. It slips out my lips.

FLASHBACK

Exactly a year ago, right on the same ball party. I met her, with the same red colour dress but of course, without a tragic history between us.

AUTHOR POV

A boring yawn escapes his pretty lips as his eyes scan the crowd. A same yearly ball party for the royal families and their relatives.

"Prince Jimin, are you feeling tired? We can assist you to your room to get some rest." His personal bodyguard asked after watching how many times their Prince has yawned in the past hours.

"It's okay, I will go for a little walk to get fresh air outside. Stay here and call me if there's anything suspicious." He stood up from his chair but his bodyguard didn't move.

"Are you sure, Prince? I can-" his bodyguard looks worried, knowing how dangerous it was for their Prince to roam alone.

"It's fine. You know I can take care of myself. Just watch around here, okay?" the selfish yet angelic Prince flashed his adorable smile at his own bodyguard who's more like his own brother. Howon, the bodyguard and his family has been serving The Park's Royal family for decades. The Royal family always treat them like their own family.

The Prince finally left his seat and heading out from the ballroom. He loves party but not this one. The party he usually attends and held was way different from this. His lips curves upwards at the thought of hosting another so-called party this weekend.

The night feels peaceful outside the crowded ballroom. It's almost the end of Spring but why does the night air still feel so cold? The Prince wonder and inhales deeply as his eyes stare at the lonely night sky.

'I should get back soon before those crackheads saw me in here and start teasing me.' He thought to himself and decide to take another walk to the other side of the park before going back to the ballroom.

His peaceful thoughts got interrupted by a female faint sob. Furrowing his eyebrow, he put his guard up because based on everything that he has been through, he needs to stay alerts. Who would crying in the middle of peaceful ballroom party?

He keeps walking closer to the source of the sound until he saw a girl, messily bawling her eyes out on the cold ground. His eyes noticed her ruined dress as if someone just tore it without her consent.

"Miss, are you okay?"

"No! Stop coming closer!! Stop torturing me! Y'all Princes are the same!!"

"Hey, listen to me. You need to calm down and talk properly. I can help you if you trust me, I wouldn't hurt you." He slowly but sure come closer and squat down to see her figure properly. Tear stains were visible on her cheeks and so does her ruined make up. She was shivering, of course- who wouldn't? Even the Prince could feel the coldness from his thick coat.

Talk about his thick coat, he took off his coat and cover her small figure before flashing a warm smile at her. He was happy that she didn't push him away.

"I'm Prince Jimin and I will help you, only if you allow me."
