Jisung's POV - Ball Preparations

The day has finally come. The day to which I must make one of the most challenging decisions of my life; do I dance with a girl and stick to the kingdom norm, or do I go with my heart and dance with a boy?

Even more importantly; what do I wear? I have gone to all kinds of suit shops, but none of them are standing out to me. They all seem exceptionally bland and out of character for the kingdom. None of us have decided on a suit that we'd like to wear for the ball this evening.

It's currently 08:45 and the ball starts at 16:00. We aren't allowed to see the ball this time before it begins, like were for the parade. We're also not allowed to see any other kingdoms before the grand commencement. I still shiver at the thought of dancing with some random princess. Hell, I want to dance with my prince.

Come to think of it, I don't want to dance with anybody but Lee Minho, the handsome man who stole my heart.

I think I know what will keep all princesses away and come out to my people gently:

What if I wear a gown?

"Guys," I spoke, igniting the interest in my brothers. "What if we wear dresses?" Their faces upturned in shock, eyebrows setting up tents in concern.

"What would our people think?" Seungmin reasoned, confused on why I'd ask such nonsense.

"They would literally pack up and move away; they're all old fashioned. They are firm believers in gender specific dressing." Felix spoke, ashamed.

"What if we just..." I suggest something that has never come up in a conversation before. "Don't care?"

"I mean," Jeongin spoke for the first time. "He's not wrong. If we don't pay attention to the rude comments, maybe we could be happy and not feel forced into this masculine shell."

"I agree with both of you; it would be a dream," Seungmin was still anxious. "What about father?"

"We don't care about him anymore." Felix deadpanned. "I'm in!" He threw up his arms in celebratory completion.

"I guess I'm in too." Seungmin rushed, feeling a bit behind as he was the only one that hadn't agreed yet.

"Alright! Sounds like a plan!" I spoke, excited for the up coming event where I will be able to spread freedom throughout the kingdoms.

"This one is beautiful." I spoke, jaw ajar in shock. I was gaping about a light pink Sleeping Beauty-like gown that was twinkling in desperation for someone to wear. It was a gorgeous pink, sheer gown with layers of poufy fabrics with a corset bodes. The sleeves were darling and rounds, a white lace connecting it at the seems. The best part is the thin, glassy layer on top that curtained over the tea-cup dress with a gloriously sparkly tulle that held on with the help of a pearly belt that was absolutely darling. The layers upon layers of white underskirts ended just before the ground, preventing any tripping or dirtying of the ball gown.

"It would look beautiful on you," The seamstress spoke, absorbed in awe at how well it would fit our kingdom. "The coolest part about this piece, is the fact that you can tear off the layers of skirt to reveal a more... sexual dress." She lifted up the many layers for a small sneak-peak at the under layer.

"Wah~" I examined the minidress of the same color that was beneath, matched with white fishnets that dangled from the mannequin. She turned me to face the information and decoration stand that held a white lace thigh-strap, a diamond encrusted tiara, silk gloves of the same pink that pulled up to my triceps, and the established glass slippers. The information at the stand read 'Aurora - Come Find Me - collection' I suppose the 'Come Find Me' suggested the seductive underskirts.
