Adoration [LeeJihoon/Woozi]

Flutter

"..Thank you," I finally said.

Almost as if he had something to say, he opened his mouth a bit before coughing.

"_____!" I heard a voice call out.

Joshua then met my view of vision. He ran beside me, out of breath.

"So. Sorry. That happened," he huffed out.

I couldn't suppress a giggle, "That's alright," I looked back at the man and bowed once more.

Prince Jihoon POV

Her eyes shot through mine and I could already feel the blood rushing to my face.

Her mouth formed a slight smile, "..Thank you."

Something was caught in my throat. I coughed to speak until Joshua came running behind her.

He waved a hand above his head, "____!"

____? How does he know her name? They know each other? Since when? But Joshua-hyung doesn't usually talk to girls.

He hasn't told me about her yet. If anything, Joshua and I know almost every little detail about each other. We've been together for almost 4 years now and we've become as close as real blood brothers. The kingdom gave us two a name. "The Royal J's". Weird, right? Even though Joshua wasn't a prince, he's definitely got the looks of one.

"That's alright," she giggled.

We made eye contact again before she bowed.

"Come on, _____. I'll show you around," Joshua reached for her hand and she nodded with the sweetest smiled I've ever seen.

Joshua looked back at me, "See you around later, Jihoon, alright?" He turned around and started pulling her along.

The girl looked back, eyes a bit widened, "Wait.." I heard her say.

"Jihoon?!"

My shoulders tensed up at the sound of her high-pitched voice behind me and I sighed.

"Jihoon!! There you are!"

I attempt to plaster on the biggest smile I could fake and turned, "Oh, hey-"

The girl threw her arms over my shoulders, and pretended to sob. Ugh. Drama queen.

"Where have you been? I thought you were avoiding me!"

I tried not to roll my eyes, "Of course not! Why would I ever do such a thing to you?"

She pulled back and pinched my cheeks. Oh god, I couldn't bring myself to look at her.

"Aww, my Jihoonie is so sweet!" she cried out, buying stares from the guests, "I'm such a lucky girl!"

I have to get outta here.

I gasped, "I-I think your eyeliner smudged!"

"What? Really?!" she said while covering her eyes, "Awww!"

"Go take a look in the mirror, okay? I'll wait for you," I smiled and nudged her to go. She panicked and started a beeline for the bathroom. I can't believe that worked. Wow. Okay.

Now to find that girl again. Who is she? Why have I just seen her now out of all the years I've been in this kingdom?

Joshua POV

"Wait... Jihoon?" she stopped walking. She took a pause before saying, "Who is that?" pointing the direction we just came from.

I followed where she pointed and I laughed, "She's Jihoon's fiancé. And to be honest, neither of us know her name."

"His fiancée? How old is he? I thought he'd be around my age," she said.

"Oh, how old are you, then?"

"Eighteen."

"He's nineteen. Don't worry, you weren't wrong."

"Why don't you guys know her name? Wait, no, why doesn't Jihoon even know his own fiancée's name?"

I sighed at the thought and waited for her to realize the reason.

"Then.. that means that it's an arranged marriage?" she furrowed her eyebrows.

"Sad to say, but yeah."

We stayed silent for a few seconds until I couldn't handle it.

I cleared my throat, "Well, come on. I'll get you something to drink."

She gave a small smile and we walked together.
