It's the day after the ball. It was such a depressing sight to watch the kindest boy in the whole world cry so loud.. in so much pain. The delicate angel is now at his room. Just sitting on his bed. Expressionless. How was he supposed to react to the life-changing information?

A gentle knock could be heard on the door. "M-My prince... it's Amara. Maybe you would enjoy to have a little chat with me about... what happened yesterday maybe..?" She sounds desperate to know but also to calm the boy down.

Silence. It's so quiet until a little mumble is heard. "C-Come in..."

As she hears the words she enters the room. Worried. She walks to him slowly and bows slightly before getting back up looking at him. So warm. "My prince. The marriage wasn't expected but it's for the best of the kingdom." Amara gently touches the prince's cheek brushing it. Amara feels like Hongjoong's mom... the woman that they never speak about. "You are a strong boy. Fighting!" Her smile was so warm. So comfy.

"H-How could I just try to ignore it when it's my future for decades forward?" His face is still expressionless until he sees her smile. He smiles as well. Back to his usual cheerful mood. "But since the angels have trust in me I'll do it! Not like I have a choice- But I should at least be optimistic about it" His giggle sounds so heart melting. If he ever looses it, it would be so heartbreaking. The most cheerful boy shall never have to face such cruel side of the world but it was his destiny to do it.

It's already lunch. The break between his classes. And of course he is in the garden as always. But this time he isn't eating nor drinking. He saw a cute little kitty. And who could just stay and watch a cute cat from afar? Well he is not like that. Once he saw it he immediately started petting it and playing with it. For whole 15 minutes or so. It was so fluffy.

Then he heard some heel-like sounds from behind. He immediately thought it was Amara and spoke. "Amara~ I have like 10 more minutes break!" Only to turn around and find out it wasn't Amara. It was his fiance. Seonghwa.

"My dear, why are you sitting on the floor playing with a dirty animal? No manners probably?" Seonghwa smiled smugly.

"You are the one in lack of manners to show up here by sneaking in." Hongjoong didn't bother to get angry nor sad. Why would he? He has everything and he won't let a random demon ruin it for him.

"My my, I just couldn't stop thinking about our kiss yesterday evening. I must say that I am waiting for the next one at the wedding. Or maybe you want a one sooner?" Seonghwa bends down to Hongjoong and grabs his face looking at his eyes. The little fluffy kitty runs away.

Hongjoong pushes Seonghwa off and gets up. "I think that you might be mentally ill to think I would fall in love with you. Plus kisses are only between lovers and we-"

Seonghwa cuts him before he could finish. "Oh but you felt something at he Ball. I saw it and I felt it. Why don't you admit you love me?"

The prince scoffs and speaks his point. "Excuse you. I didn't know it was the prince of Hell that I am in an arranged marriage with! And do not cut me off it's r-" only to get cut off again.

"So you admit it?"

The angel blushes a bit. "Well yes but-"

"I think that you judge the book by its cover then."

"OH MY GOSH. Stop cutting me off!" The prince is now annoyed. He checks his watch to see he is late for his class. He then gets up in a hurry and starts walking inside only to be grabbed by the wrists and stopped by the demon.

"I might stop over by your room tonight, my dear~" Seonghwa winks as he lets go off Hongjoong.

The angel scoffs again and continues on his way.

~*☆*〜
Hours and classes later his classes are over. It's evening. The prince is removing his makeup calmly only to the light of the moon gently shining on his features but then he hears something. He turns around only to see his fiance smiling next to the door with a black rose in his hand.

"WAH! YOU SCARED ME!" The prince screams in a whisper.

"My apologies I just wanted to pay you a visit." The demon chuckles gently as he walks towards Hongjoong and hands him the black rose. "For you~"

"Wow. A black rose. So. Romantic." The angel isn't touched, instead his face is like this ( -_- )

"Oh I know. What are you doing by the way?" He feels so cocky now. He even asks the obvious.

Hongjoong puts the black rose in the vase in front of him as he looks back at his mirror and continues removing his makeup as he answers sarcastically. "Riding a unicorn on the end of the rainbow."

Seonghwa leans behind Hongjoong on the table in front locking the prince between his hands as he whispers in his neck with a grin. "You could ride something else tonight~"

Hongjoong can't help but blush as he turns around and pushes Seonghwa away. "Y-Yah! What is your problem!?" He is looking up at Seonghwa. The stars and the moon outside are shining so bright like a lamp turned on.

Seonghwa takes the prince's wrist and pulls him close not allowing him to pull away. "I know you want it, little angel."

The angel's eyes widen. The stars reflect in them like in a mirror. This isn't what he wants yet is this what he will get?
