Prince Jimin was sauntering in the royal corridor which was being decorated by flowers, his eyes reading the contents written in the scroll he was holding but his senses alert enough to know there's someone stalking him for a few seconds now.

Folding the scroll back Jimin looked ahead in his path, a small smile playing on his plump lips. "From where the sun must have risen today that your presence has blessed me in the morning?" Jimin let out, smiling a little, without looking at Princess Jiyeon who fell in steps beside him.

Jiyeon grinned, glancing up at Jimin, saying, "The sun is hidden by thick fog, should you consider my presence a looming trouble for you?" She sassed with a very, very, sweet smile. Jimin's gaze averted down at her, Slightly narrowed and Jiyeon flipped her hair back, almost brushing Jimin's face by an inch.

Those hair always....

A hint of a smile threatened Jimin's face. He looked ahead, "Great that you admit you're a walking trouble, your highness."

Jiyeon scoffed, moving closer while responding, "A very great trouble, be careful, what if you fall in deep, your highness?" She whispered looking up at Jimin, meeting his orbs looking back at her. In the very moment of her words being spoken, the variety of hidden meanings, and the clashing of their eyes was like swords clashing with a spark of fire.

There was a flicker of change of expressions on their faces for a short moment, orbs flickering to take in each other before they recovered almost immediately. Jimin looked ahead while Jiyeon cleared her throat ignoring the warm chill piercing her chest, "I've blessed your existence by my presence to ask about your hurt feelings after last night?"

Jimin almost laughed at her words, to bless his existence?, last night? That could have meanings. The Prince pinched the middle of his brows while keeping from laughing, shaking his head. Jiyeon narrowed her eyes at him, "laughing at how you were almost thrown back to Hanseong Kingdom last night, hmm?"

She smirked, remembering the last night's celebration, the music and dance where both the royal families including nobles were present, except the bride and groom. And Jiyeon danced to her heart's content- or more precisely, she teased Jimin to her heart's content under the name of a tiny tradition that the bride's sister teases the groom's brothers at such pre wedding celebration nights.

"Oh dear monkey,
Jumping from tree to tree
You didn't tell your breed, my sawi's bestie."

There were several of her own additions in the songs to pull Jimin's leg. And to say Jimin was offended would be a lie, he was rather staring at her with an unfathomable gaze all the time.

Her iconic move-as she declared it-was her hip swinging to Jimin which caused him to stumble on his feet, almost falling on Yeonjun. Although the elders didn't see it, Jiyeon surely laughed at Jimin's expressions, priceless.

And that hip swing was enough to send Prince Jimin flying back to Hanseong Kingdom--according to Jiyeon.

"That's what you get after getting on my nerves." Jiyeon muttered and Jimin stared at her, all the while walking next to her. "Just that? Thought you might be a great entertainer, Princess Jiyeon. That's all you got to give me?" Jimin muttered, orbs challenging her.

"Ask yourself if you can handle my entertainment." Jiyeon raised up her shoulders while smirking slightly. Jimin glanced at the distance(which was barely there) between them, their shoulders almost brushing. He averted his eyes to look forward while still having his attention on Jiyeon. "Perhaps it will be paradise if you entertain me."
