STRINGS OF MY HEART | SVT | JEONGCHEOL [✓]

8 - Dandelion

•Choi Palace•

"The crowning ceremony will be next week." Sunwoo declared, "I don't want to wait anymore."

The Choi brothers and the Yoon brothers were present in the meeting room along with the Emperor and Empress.

"The highness will transfer the crown to Seungcheol and I'll transfer my crown to Jeonghan." Ara stated, "Seokmin, Joshua and Dino will also be crowned as the supreme chiefs, having almost equal power as the kings."

"And the others will be given the responsibilities on the same day." Sunwoo referred to the rest of the eight friends, "Send the official letters to them and invite them here before the ceremony to have discussions."

"It's already sent." Ara nodded, "Everything is sorted."

"Jeonghan, son? How's your health now?" Sunwoo gently asked.

"I'm fine dad." Jeonghan chuckled.

"Take good care of him, that's your mom's order." Ara looked at Seungcheol.

"Yeah." Seungcheol nodded.

"And Joshua? Are you settling well here?" Sunwoo asked.

"Yes dad, don't worry." Joshua smiled as Seokmin patted his back.

"Let's go to have lunch." Ara stood up.

"Finally." Dino sighed in relief.

Everyone left the meeting room as they reached the royal dining room and attained their seats.

"Seokmin, pass the rice." Seungcheol mumbled slowly.

Seokmin gave the rice bowl to Dino who passed it to Seungcheol.

Seungcheol sighed to himself. They were still not talking to each other. Seokmin was too sensitive at that moment so Seungcheol had decided to give him some time to calm down so that he could talk with a cool mind.

Jeonghan observed whatever was going on. It wasn't a custom or something, right? That you can't pass the bowls to someone sitting in your front blah blah. Or probably Seokmin wasn't fond of passing things? Ridiculous much?

"Uh Seokmin, can you pass me that plate." Jeonghan asked.

"Here you go." Seokmin chuckled lightly.

"Everyone gather up and eat me alive." Seungcheol muttered to himself while eating.

Jeonghan looked at the two brothers and the tension between them was pretty obvious. He then looked at Dino who seemed to be a bit uneasy.

Jeonghan gestured to Joshua through his eyes, asking if something was wrong but Joshua assured him that there was nothing to worry about. And there was no way Jeonghan was taking it.

There was definitely something wrong. He knew it, he just had to learn the context of it.

It was when a staff member appeared after they were done eating, "Greetings to the highness. Rose Quartz is ready to showcase their talent for today's evening."
