Runaway Prince |Choi Beomgyu|

9

Beomgyu turned on his side as he heard a small noise. His eyebrows furrowed but his eyes didn't open as he pulled the blanket over his shoulder.

He started falling asleep again until he heard another noise, this time making him open his eyes.

He let out a yawn as he slowly sat up, looking towards the bed next to his, seeing it empty.

This is the first time Luna is up first.

Beomgyu was starting to adjust to sleeping in more, now that he no longer needs to wake up at dawn.

He moved the blanket off his feet and stood up, stretching his long arms over his head. Sluggishly walking to the open window and curiously opening the curtain to see where the noise was coming from, he almost smiled as he spotted Luna.

Luna stood inside a low barrel as she scrunched up her nose, stepping on berries and grapes.

He curiously stared with one eye open from the sun as she stepped on the fruits.

"Are you making wine?" He rasped out, startling Luna, who looked up at him.

"You're smart." She sassed as she continued her job, keeping the trousers she was wearing as high as she could up her legs.

He had a small smile on his lips, before running a hand through his hair.

"Can I help?"

(~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~)

"Wash your feet properly."

"I did, Luna."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, this is the third time." Beomgyu said as he sat in the chair next to the big barrel she was still standing in.

"Okay then. Come on." She urged as she gestured for him to join her. "Don't step on the ground!"

"I know, Luna." He chuckled as he grabbed the hand she was offering him, joining her.

The space was slightly tight, but not too much. They can move around just enough.

Beomgyu let out a small laugh as he felt the berries under his toes.

"This is disgusting." He laughed making Luna smile in amusement.

"Just step on them as much as you can, until you don't feel any of them under your feet." She instructed making him nod his head.

He still had a small smile on his face as he continued to step on them.

Luna stared at him for a couple of seconds as she smirked in amusement.

He looked like a child discovering something for the first time ever.

"So after we step, what do we do?" He asked as he looked at Luna.

Luna looked up at him and shrugged.

"We drain it. Then we drain it again. Then we add some starch and some of the tequila bottles at the back, and then we cover it to let it ferment a bit."

"How long does that take?"

"The weather is warm, so it won't take long. 50 days maybe?"

"Did your father teach you?"

Luna nodded her head as she remembered how her father used to make her do this almost every two weeks.

"This is fun."

"Really? Then you should do it." She said with fake enthusiasm as she moved around him to get out of the barrel.

"No, you're supposed to do it with me." He chuckled as he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.
