Runaway Prince |Choi Beomgyu|

"It can't be in the storage unit for more than three days after you've made it, Tem." Luna said as she let out a sigh, sitting back against the headboard.

"But why not?"

"It's going to get overly fermented, and it'll taste like rotten grapes." Prince Beomgyu spoke gently as he looked at the two with amusement in his eyes.

"See? Even he knows this, and he's been making alcohol for less time than you." Luna whispered roughly, making Tem wave her off with a big smile.

"It's whatever, people still drink it anyway." The last bit of her words were muffled as she bit into a cupcake at the prince's table.

Luna let out a sigh as the prince let out a chuckle, leaning his own head against the headboard. He was laying over the blankets, his black booted feet still hanging from the side of the bed, as Luna laid under the blankets.

"I really hope you didn't do that with all of the homemade wine in the bar, Tem."

"Leave Ms. Tem alone, Luna, she's trying her best." Beomgyu defended as he shook his head, and looked at Luna, a small smirk on his lips that made her roll her eyes playfully.

"Okay." She sarcastically spoke as she raised her eyebrows, turning her head to look at him, meeting his eyes.

As Ms. Tem was busy chewing on her cupcake and letting out sighs at the taste, Beomgyu sneakily reached for Luna's hand which was under the blanket.

He playfully raised his eyebrows at her and she let out a small scoff, feeling her ears burn.

"Oh I knew I had forgotten something!" Ms. Tem suddenly said loudly, slamming her hand on the table, startling both Luna and Beomgyu.

"You didn't forget to lock the windows, did you?"

"I locked them, Luna! At least, I think so, but that's not the point here. Your highness, that guard is a relative of my-"

She abruptly stopped talking making the two look at her in concern and worry. Tem shook her head and went back to eating her cupcake as if she hadn't even started the conversation.

"The blueberries in this are a-mazing!" She emphasized as she smiled before taking another bite and standing up, walking quickly towards the door. "I will go ask for the recipe, I'll be right back!"

Luna looked at Beomgyu, sadness prominent in both of their eyes as they knew what she was trying to say.

Sal, who was helping them out with the problem with his mother and the doctor, was related to Ms. Tem's dead husband.

"Do you think she's-"

A knock at the door interrupted Luna's words.

"Sire, her highness the queen, and the young princess want to come in and greet Ms. Luna." The guard announced from behind the door.

Beomgyu looked at Luna, and she didn't hesitate much before she nodded her head.

"I don't mind." She said softly and he furrowed his eyebrows a bit before agreeing.

"Let them in." He spoke loud enough to be heard, and the doors opened for the princess, the queen, and Sandy, who stepped in last to serve the new guests' cupcakes and tea.

After the door closed behind them, there was a silence in the room that was only being broken by Sandy pouring the tea into two different cups after the ladies sat down.

"I'm glad that you feel much better." Princess Ari said gently and Luna gave her a small smile.

"Thank you."
