SEO HAEYUL marveled at her friend's delicate beauty. Haeyul knew Seulhyun is pretty, but the dress she was wearing had brought out her features even more accentuating her charms.
The soft pink dress dropped to her feet, revealing the silver Mary Jane heels she was wearing. Her collarbone was exposed, decorated with a silver necklace. Upon realizing the attention she got from Haeyul, Seulhyun had grown shy, clearing her throat in hopes of distracting Haeyul from her appearance.
"I didn't know pink suits you so much." Haeyul said, spinning around as she fixed her stubborn baby hair, glancing at Seulhyun from the mirror.
Seulhyun light pat her gown, feeling rather awkward covered in the extravagance. "I didn't as well until you said it." She chuckled. Haeyul took notice of her stiffness and smiled, walking towards her.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can change but I have to say, you are stunning!" She pressed on the compliment. "I know it feels out of place, I was like you too in the beginning but gradually I got used to it. But when I feel unsafe with the dress I'm wearing, I immediately change because it's best to not stress myself over an attire."
Seulhyun nodded, wordlessly agreeing to her as she pondered whether to change or not. Truth was, she felt gorgeous in the dress—the most gorgeous she has ever been, and she loved how it made her feel like a princess. However, it was for the same reasons did she feel uncomfortable. A part of her still feels unsuitable for the royal title. Although there's no doubting her connection to Niki, but there was still a tiny gap between them.
At least that was what she had felt.
But she had to start embracing the title, right? She had promised Niki.
"I'll.." Seulhyun inhaled, "wear this. I think it matches me and I feel pretty in it." She smiled, telling half of the truth and Haeyul seemed to buy it, flashing a wide smile.
Then, a knock was heard as the door opened, revealing the maids assigned to escort them to the Dining Hall. "Your Majesty, His Highness is waiting for you in the Dining Hall." One of them informed, bowing. "Thank you for the information, we'll be on our way."
Haeyul held Seulhyun's hand and squeezed it tightly, leading their way. Oddly, Seulhyun was grateful towards Haeyul, she doesn't know what would happen without her. Their entrance went smoothly as Seulhyun followed Haeyul's action; bowing when needed, and etc.. Surprisingly, Seulhyun found herself sitting between Niki and Jake.
From the get-go she could tell Jake loves to tease Niki as they kept throwing pointed stares towards each other. She felt a presence neared her, "You look divine, princess." Niki whispered causing butterflies to swarm her.
Seulhyun pouted, clearly flushed by the compliment but she opted to act cool and brushed it off as if it didn't affect her. "Don't I always look divine?" She whispered back shamelessly, the blush on her cheeks betraying her, earning a soft grin from the prince. "Cute."
