💫 Delaying the Stars 💫

Chapter 3: Post Meeting

Anastasia headed back to the royal bedroom, thoughts flurrying through her mind like a hurricane. She sat down at her desk, a loss in words.

What happened to Edward?

Jiung rushed outside and sat down. The sun was just setting now on Earth. He stared at all the stars in awe. It was so peaceful without Edward's loud rambling.

Liam leaned against the wall in the hallway, taking deep breaths.

Anastasia's phone rings, and she answers as quickly as it started ringing. She talked for a few minutes before rushing outside her room and back into the conference room where Edward was.

"Edward?"

"Yes, m'lady?" He said, staring up at Anastasia.

"I need to head somewhere for a little while-"

"Alright, I'll guard the castle."

"Thank you, Edward."

"Be safe, my Queen." He smirked. She had no idea what she had just done.

She bowed her head before rushing out quickly and heading off somewhere -- perhaps to another meeting or something along those lines.

Edward puts away his phone and leaves the conference room, heading straight to his own room. He puts on a gun belt and puts his favorite guns into the belt, and grabbing his sword. He heads outside.

Liam walks outside, looking for Jiung to make sure he's okay.

Jiung was sitting outside, casually eating a ham sandwich. Definitely a stress eater, huh? Or maybe he was just hungry. He's listening to some Lofi Hip Hop.

Liam gave up on finding Jiung and sat in the spot he was standing.

Edward quickly noticed Jiung, and looked around to see if anyone was there. He smirked and sat next to him.

Jiung, on the other hand, didn't notice Edward because of his headphones.

After about a minute, he looked over.

His eyes widen and he immediately screams.

Edward quickly covered Jiung's mouth. "Shut up! This isn't a playground, freak."

Jiung winced. That word. The word- he can't even say it.

Liam just happens to look in the direction Jiung was. But, he doesn't actually do anything; he just sighs.

Edward took his hand off Jiung's mouth and wiped them on Jiung's clothes, trying not to vomit.

Then he realized he made it worse.

"Oh god, what have I done?!" He shrieked, pulling out hand sanitizer and using a bunch of it.

Jiung is just sitting there, confused out of his mind. He opened his mouth to say something, but quickly closed it and looked away.

"Anyways, why are you here? Alone?" Edward asked, emphasizing the 'alone' part. "Did your friends ditch you? Or, wait, I forgot! Silly me. You don't have any. Homo."

Before Jiung could say anything, he was cut off by Anastasia running in the castle looking like she was going to cry.

Edward looked concerned. I mean, he probably didn't care at all. But he made it convincing.

Anastasia ran to her room, stumbling a bit.

Back to Liam! He's sitting and looking at the stars, doing absolutely nothing.

"I'll be back later." Edward said, punching Jiung in the arm painfully and sprinting off, giggling like a little girl.

"Owww.." Jiung winced, grabbing his arm.


A/N: Sorry for weird update schedules! I'll definitely be updating a lot more when school is done because it's been very stressful. Thanks for reading. >w<
