"And she lives!" Jaemin screams, raising a glass up when you and Shuhua join them at the table for knights. You chuckle before taking a seat beside Guanlin as Shuhua sat beside you. In front of you was Minho who was quietly eating his food.

"What happened while I was out?" You ask. "Well, we got toured around, then sir Felix showed us to our rooms" Jaemin said.

You simply nod your head before looking at the table for the young royalties and when you do, you lock eyes with Jihoon who winks at you.

You choose to ignore his action, thinking that maybe he has something in his eye before you resume eating.

"I'm not saying this to badmouth my kingdom but please keep princess Yuqi and yourselves away from prince Jihoon" Guanlin mutters, looking at you two girls in the table.

The whole table instantly cracks up. "Ah, that prince is a different one" Jaemin pipes up.

"Don't worry about Princess Yuqi and I. When prince Jihoon visited our kingdom once, he tried to hit on her and I, well, threatened him. So he won't be bothering us anytime soon" The whole table cracks up once again at Shuhua's statement. Although as the laughter dies down, Guanlin shoots you a worried glance. You arch a brow.

"Don't worry Guanlin, I don't think your prince would like someone like me" You say with a chuckle.

"Hyunjin, open up!" You say, knocking on the door. "Yah, Hwang Hyunjin"

It was past twelve and right now you found yourself waiting for Hyunjin to unlock the door of the small cottage in the rose garden. You were tasked to help escort everyone back to their rooms after supper. Once you were done, you headed to Hyunjin's room to ask if he needed anything. When no one responded though, you entered the room, onlu to see an open window.

When he doesn't unlock the door, you sigh and decide to sit down on the grass, leaning against the door.

"Hyunjin, I know that you're in the-"

"Hello? Is anyone here?"

A familiar voice stops you from finishing your statement and you get up and head towards the voice to see prince Jisung wandering around in his pyjamas, looking a little lost.

"Prince Jisung? Why are you up at this hour?" You ask with worry. When he sees you, his face instantly lights up.

"Thank God you're here! I felt so lost" He says with a pout.

"May I ask why you're in the gardens at this hour?" Jisung's cheeks flush red from embarrassment at that. "Well, I uh... wanted to explore more but got lost" He admits bashfully. You simply chuckle at his reply.

"You have the whole day to do that tomorrow" You say with a little smile. "Really?!" He asks, eyes wide with shock and a hint of excitement.

"Yes. Form what I heard, your schedules are all free tomorrow so I assume it's because they want you all to explore around" As you speak, the smile on your face unconsciously grows. You yourself didn't realize it but you were starting to grow fond of this prince, finding his curiosity cute. 

Jisung blinks for a moment, staring at you as he let what you just said process. What shocks you though is when he suddenly holds your hands in his before jumping up and down in a circular motion, making you mirror his actions.

"REALLY?! YOU'RE NOT PRANKING ME RIGHT?! RIGHT?!" He screamed as he spun you around.

"Yah! Prince Jisung I'm gonna get dizzy!" You try to say it in an annoyed tone but only laughter comes out from your mouth.

"Oh! Sorry!"

Jisung instantly stops what he's doing and lets go of your hands. "I just... got a little excited"

"So I noticed" You say, your laughter slowly dying down.

"Well, you should head back to bed your highness, I'll show you the way"

Jisung flashes you a bright smile before muttering a small thank you and letting you lead the way.

Hyunjin sighed as he watched yours and Jisung's retreating forms. " Maybe I should've just opened the damn door for her and let that idiot get lost here"
