A week passed.
Baekhyun tried his best to make sure that the conversation between the Princess and him remains as minimal as possible. He always avoid speaking to her and waits until she falls asleep so that he can go back into his room to sleep on the chair.
Taeyeon never had the chance to talk to him because every time he comes in, he quickly drops some food for her and takes a quick shower before leaving his room.
Princess Kim Taeyeon can't take it anymore as she feels lonely and bored because there is nothing for her to do in the room. When she wanted to tell Baekhyun to give her some things to do, he just leaves the room.
She just stares at the ceiling the whole morning. Force herself to read or stare at the birds outside, flying freely in the sky in the afternoon. Stare at the door until the evening for Baekhyun to come back with food.
She fears that she will go nuts because of the lack of human contact. When she was in the palace, Professor Byun will always keep her company by sharing his knowledge with her. He is a very wise man, so Princess Kim can learn a lot of things from him. The one thing that he couldn't teach her is her skills in water bending. Since he isn't even a guardian himself.
Some times she will stand behind the door and wait for him to come back into his room. When he is in, she will try her best to block the door to prevent him from leaving, just so that he will talk to her. But he is stronger than her, so she is easily pushed away from the door as he went out.
Until one night, she tried her best to stay up past midnight just to speak to him. So when Baekhyun came in, he was surprised to see her sitting up on his bed, staring straight at him. He glanced at the empty bottle at the night stand, and assumes that she drank it to make sure that she stays awake.
"Baekhyun-ssi."she called after him when he was about to turn around to leave the room again. "Please. I need to talk to you."she said. She hardly uses the word as she is the Princess after all. But matters like this, that word might help her.
"What?"he asked. "Your highness."he added.
"I...well..."
"What?"he looked pissed, which scared her a little.
"Can you buy some necessities for me?"she asked, fiddling with her fingers nervously.
"There are extra unused toothbrushes in the cabinet."he said.
"I mean, women things. Like, pads?"she asked as she felt the heat creeping up her cheeks. She has only met him for a week and they barely talked, why does their first proper conversation had to start out like this?
"Oh."he didn't know what to say. "Erm...do you really need it?"he asked, scratching the back of his head nervously.
"Yes. It is very important."
"Erm...okay."he said. It's Taeyeon's first time seeing Baekhyun like this, loss of words. He looked flustered at the mention of pads, as if it's his first time hearing about them. She sighed. Professor Byun should have taught his son more about this side of the knowledge.
"Thank you."she thanked him. "And can you give me something else to do? I have read some of your books, but they are really boring."she said.
"What do you want to do then?"he asked, pulling out a chair to sit down.
"Can you bring me some coloring books?"she asked.
"You mean the ones for kids?"he asked, raising an eyebrow at her.
"Yeah. And a box of color pencils."
"Okay."
"And can you please talk to me more? I need more interpersonal communication."she requested.
