"how does it feel to be engaged to someone you just met for power?"

You averted your eyes away from the boy infront of you, towards the crowd of people dressed extravagantly below you. Their dancing being more entertaining than the awkward silence the two of you had.

You spotted your mother, the queen, giving you a stern 'talk to him' look towards your direction before smiling and continuing her conversation with one of the guests.

You gave out a sigh and looked towards the boy. Surprised to see that he's looking back.

"Um.. hi?" You spoke out, already wanting to dig and crawl into a hole out of nervousness.

"Hi" he greeted back.

Awkward... now what?

seeing no point in talking to him, you thought that it might be better to get straight to the poi-

"Look, I just wanna say that if you think that I actually want to do this, Arrange marriage," he started, the two words coming out as if it's a sin, "than your wrong. I really don't know you and I'm not gonna marry you" he finishes off, you being stunned and relief at his statement.

At least his on the same boat

"Well no complaining here... I don't know you either" you said.

He nodded his head and looked towards the crowd. You took this oppurtunity to admire his features; hair looking ever so soft and skin practically glowing.

Heck why isnt he the princess?

"say... how do you get your skin to glow like that?" you bluntly asked

he returned into facing you and raised one of his eyebrows, fingers pointing towards him in a confused way.

"are you serious right now?" he questions.

you rolled your eyes and nodded.

"yes I am sleeping beauty, you must have some kind of secret to have your skin looking healthy and fresh 24/7." you accused. eyes squinting and fingers pointing to him accusingly.

now its his turn to roll his eyes

"fine you wanna know so bad?"

"well duh"

"okay come closer"

you scooted closer till your just centimeters away from his face. feeling with anticipation,

"its called genes you idiot"

your excitement dropped to an annoyed expression while the boy beside you bursted out laughing histerically, drawing attention from both your parents and the guests.

both of your expression changed immidiately from surprised towards the poker face you both had earlier.

the guests looked away and returned back to talking which made you let out a sigh.

"this sucks" you mumbled

"I know. I'm getting forced to marry you" he teased. a playful yet fake pout plastered on his face.

"be glad that I'm not in a mood worst than this or else you'll be dead" you threatened

"I'm just glad that I'm not marrying anyone worst than you"

you both stayed silent

the silence comfortable yet safe.

"how much do you hate your parents?" the boy asked

"with all my heart. the longer they stay in this earth, the less human population" you answered. the memory of you witnessing innocent people getting shot from the palace windows flooded your mind.

you shivered

Your parents were the sole reason why you were kept away from the public, and why you are forced in an engagement with the boy now.

The only reason you were even alive was so that there was someone to lead the throne.

Someone to continue the war.

"well I hate them too" He said

"with all your heart?" you asked

"with all my heart" He smiled

you smiled back.

"whats your name?"

"Haechan, Whats yours?"

"Y/n"

"well Y/n.. If there's one thing I could thank my parents for. than it's that I got to meet you" he said. the genuine smile on the both of you stayed and grew.

"lets run away and never comeback"
