In the midst of the event venue, Yuna and Hongjoong were immersed in their respective responsibilities.

Yuna, managing the incorporation of medical elements, was engrossed in coordinating with medical professionals and individuals who had overcome health challenges. Meanwhile, Hongjoong was handling logistics, ensuring everything ran smoothly.

As the event buzzed with activity, Hongjoong found himself engrossed in a conversation with someone.

Across the room, he caught Yuna's eye. She gestured excitedly with her hands, a spark in her eyes as she conveyed something important. He watched intently as she nodded, smiled, and gracefully tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Interrupted by the person beside him, asking if he could manage a certain task alone, Hongjoong assured, "Yeah, I'll manage." Once the person moved away, he turned his attention back to Yuna.

She was diligently jotting down notes, alone, focused on her work. Spotting a box of fruit drinks nearby, Hongjoong seized the opportunity. He grabbed one and approached Yuna, pressing it to her cheek.

Startled by the sudden cold sensation, Yuna shot him a weird look. Hongjoong gestured towards the drink, and she reluctantly accepted. "Have you poisoned this?" she teased.

Hongjoong grinned, "Ooh, how do you know, princess?" Yuna, shrugging in reply, opened the can and took a sip, earning a breathy laugh from Hongjoong.

As they shared a moment, he asked, "How's the planning going with you?"

Yuna nodded, "Yeah, it's going nice. What about you?"

Hongjoong pondered for a moment, then replied, "Hmm, just fine." A brief silence hung between them before the prince decided to break it, "Do you wanna-"

Just as he was about to suggest something, someone called for Yuna, cutting him off mid-sentence.

"Catch you later," Yuna said, walking away with her drink. Hongjoong nodded to himself and turned his attention back to his responsibilities, determined to get his work done.
