The Artwork Prince

2

"For goodness sake! I can't get my make-up right!"

A girl's voice whined and Hongbin stiffened and stayed silent but he could feel a sneeze build up from the strength of the girl's perfume.

"Oh no." He whispered, "ACHOO!" The prince sneezed, somewhat softly. Go away, go away! He yelled in his mind, scared that the girl will freak out and see him stark naked. The girl froze and dropped her eye shadow palette at the faint sneeze. Hongbin is quickly forgotten as she cries, "Oh come on! I paid good money for this and this is what happens!"

Hongbin stood in the shower, butt naked ((I'm sure every St☆rlight will want to see this! - Zeera)). He really wanted the girl to get out, but he didn't know what to say without startling her. Maybe if I can grab my towel, then I can run out. Hongbin thought, quietly turning off the water and opening the shower certain and snatched his towel. He wrapped it around his waist, then picked up his clothes, I'll change in another room.

As he grabbed his towel, he watched the girl's reaction and noticed she had a frown on her face, "I could've sworn that was closed..." Hongbin took the clothes and towel, and slowly walked out of the bathroom. He didn't want to make loud noises or suspicious sounds. He just managed to get out of the bathroom when he realised, where is he going to get dressed?

"Dang it, I hadn't thought this through." Hongbin whispered. He searched around for a vacant room and went in there. Little did he know, it was that girl's room. He quickly got dressed and left the room and back to the bathroom to place the towel on the rack. Hongbin walked to the kitchen but stayed out of the way until he knew he was visible again to Yeon-doo and Chi Ang.

"Thank you very much for allowing me to shower and change my clothes." Hongbin said to the couple, then bowed once more. The one thing he never mentioned was about the encounter he had with the girl. Chi Ang smiled, "Your welcome and there's no need to be so polite around here." He reassures him as he sets the table as Yeon-doo finished cooking the night's meal.

"Ah... Yes sir." Hongbin said to Chi Ang.

"Hongbin, you don't need to call me sir. It makes me feel old." Chi Ang whines and Yeon-doo chuckles at her husband's childish behaviour before calling her daughter.

"WANG LIU!" She yells, getting the attention of the teenager. All three heard a loud groan, followed by heavy footsteps of the girl. He gestures to the prince to sit down as he settled himself at the table.

"Do you need any assistance?"

That's the girl who was in the bathroom. He thought, as Chi Ang turned to him, "Thank you for the offer but don't force yourself to help. Normally I'd get our daughter to help but lately she hasn't been."

"Ah, I see." Hongbin softly said, then looked down at his slender fingers.

"WHAT IS IT PAPA?!" Liu yelled.

"DINNER IS READY!" Yeon-doo yells back as she finally sat down at the table.

"I'M NOT HUNGRY!" Liu yelled back, exiting the bathroom. Chi Ang sighs, "Come and meet our guest at least!" He gets up but only is pushed back down by his wife.

"WHAT GUEST?" Liu angrily said, then walked out to the dining room. Hongbin looked up to see a girl of about eighteen-nineteen and her eyes were dark in annoyance.

"H-Hello?" Hongbin shakily greeted. He got up from his chair and bowed to Liu.

"Oh. Um, hi." She greeted, then awkwardly waved at him. He smiled a little in response.

"I'm Liu." She said, holding out her hand for Hongbin to shake. Hongbin just stared at her hand, Why is she giving me her hand?

"Please to meet you. I'm Hongbin, Lee Hongbin." Hongbin greeted her, still looking at her hand but soon takes it.
