Runaway Prince |Choi Beomgyu|

49

Luna calmly and quietly sat, waiting for breakfast to be served before them. Everyone was as silent as her and for some reason it didn't feel as awkward anymore.

She nervously tapped her hand against her thigh, and she was startled once she felt Beomgyu's hand slide into hers.

They all watched as the maids placed the food on the table, setting up fruits on different areas of the table.

After the maids were done, they each started getting into their plates in silence, but a clearing of a throat caught everyone's attention to the end of the table.

The queen gestured at the strawberries and looked at Luna. "Would you like me to pass them to you?"

The bar girl's eyes were wide at the random ask from the queen and she couldn't help but look at Beomgyu to see if he had heard her as well. He seemed just as shocked as Luna.

"I heard from the maids that you really like them, and they put them on my side of the table, that's why I am asking." The queen almost stammered as she went back to her strict and poise look.

Luna was silent for a few seconds as her eyes moved up to see Princess Ari with a small smile on her lips.

"I would like some. Please. Thank you, your highness." Luna said politely, giving her a small smile as the queen gestured for the maids to move the strawberries towards Luna.

(~+~+~+~+~+~+~)

"Yes! Home sweet home!" Luna yelled as she walked into the bar, feeling the familiar smell of apple and cinnamon from the clean floors. 

She almost ran to the bar and laid her head over it with a happy sigh.

Beomgyu walked in behind her with an amused smile as he closed the door. 

He stared at her for a few seconds, before moving towards the windows to open them and let sunlight in.

"How does it feel to be back in your bar, pretty Luna?" He questioned as he pushed the curtains of the last window aside before removing the locks and opening the window.

"It feels very nice." She said happily as she jumped to sit on the counter. She swung her legs as she looked around the place, her eyes gleaming.

"Let's open for the night."

"Don't you have to go back?"

"Not yet at least." He said as he walked towards her and placed his hands on either side of her.

"I don't think it's proper for the king to be working at a bar overnight."

"I won't work every night, pretty Luna. I guess your full-time worker has now become part-time." He pouted slightly as he looked into her eyes and she couldn't help but smile, placing her arms around his neck.

"You have way more important things to do than to hang around here." She said softly as he leaned closer to her. "I'm firing you."

He let out a dramatic gasp, and Luna let out a quiet giggle.

"Firing me? How could you? I was amazing at my job."

"I'm firing you."

"I'll just visit the bar over the weekends."

"Why are you talking as if we'll be miles apart?"

Beomgyu stared at her in thought before wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling himself even closer to her. "Aren't we?"

"I'll be sleeping next to you, little prince." She giggled making him look at her eyes with a small frown.

"But you'll be far from the bar. Plus, don't you open at night? You won't even be there to sleep."
