Runaway Prince |Choi Beomgyu|

35

Beomgyu threw his book at the bed as he walked into his bedroom, the ghost of a smile still on his lips as he turned around, watching Luna as she stepped into the room as well, in her heavy dress and a book also in her hand.

They had spent the entire day running around the castle in order to destress before Beomgyu was to be in office the next day. It was only two days after his father's funeral and although it was hard every night because he would think about him, he would manage to be at least well throughout the day.

She closed the door behind her, letting out a sigh, before jumping at the sound of a knock.

"Hello, your highness. I'm just here to ask if you would like any assistance with either of your baths." A maid said through the door, making Luna look at him wondering what he was going to say.

"It's okay, we got it. Thank you." He said loud enough for her to hear.

"Okay. Let us know if you need any assistance sire."

"I did need help." Luna glared at him as she gestured to her dress, before walking over to the bathroom.

"Sorry." He chuckled cheekily as he watched her walk past him. "Do you want me to call them back?"

"No, they're already gone. I could probably figure it out on my own." She spoke from the bathroom.

"What did you need help with?"

"The straps on my dress."

He nodded his head and walked over to her. "I can help." He suggested peaking his head inside the open bathroom.

Luna stared at him for a couple of seconds again, before nodding her head and turning around.

"What do you need me to do?" He asked as he stood behind her.

"Just loosen the straps and then help me take it off." She instructed. "Start from the top, towards the bottom."

"How do you wear this so tight?"

"I rarely wear ones like this, your maids put this contraption on me." She whispered as she let out a breath as the top part was loosened a little more, feeling an immense sense of relief. "I don't understand how your sister and your mother can wear these every day."

Beomgyu focused on not pulling too hard as he continued to loosen the straps without ruining her dress.

"I should make you do this more often. Your maids are a little rough, little prince." She joked, making him smile in amusement at her words.

When he was finally done, Luna let out a breath as she held the dress to her chest so that it wouldn't fall. "You will never experience this relief as a man."

Beomgyu only shook his head with a smile as he started walking out of the bathroom, but she called him back.

"Help me take it off."

"Isn't it off already?" He wondered as he looked at her, but she only picked up a part of the dress. "What is it made out of? Medal? Why is it so heavy?"

Beomgyu shook his head as he walked over, helping her remove the sleeves and helping her pull it down.

She stepped out of it and reached to pick it up, but the prince was already doing it for her.

"I'll take this out there so that the maids can dry clean it. Take a warm bath so that you don't catch a cold, the weather's bad lately." He said as he turned his back to her, walking towards the door.

"You should just bathe with me."

"What?" Beomgyu asked, turning to face her again, but she only shrugged.
