Jina was too pacified to mope.
She headed straight for the buffet as soon as the Prince dragged her pet Piggy away to a dance. Jin was right, the food really is delish.
Her dress prevented anyone from approaching her, so that spared her the agonising small chit chat with random, boring people (or rather, everyone else was spared the drab personality of Jina; but she doesn't need to know that).
She wandered the ball. At times, she caught glimpses of her two sisters; each with rich suitors (the Prince's gay, what can you do?), she saw Jin and the Prince, she saw her stepmother trying to snag up a guy half her age (and it looked like she was succeeding).
And then she saw herself in the mirror in a hallway with poor lighting, as if set up deliberately to make you feel bad about yourself.
But Jina was proud of what she saw in the mirror. Her eyes were bold and determined, her posture was regal and confident and her hair might've seen better days--point is, she was proud of herself, and that was all that mattered. She didn't need a Prince's approval to love herself. She knew she was perfect, and enough to love herself.
Feeling like she could conquer the world, Jina walked out with her head held high.
Although that feeling dissipated when she glanced at the time.
Ten minutes to twelve.
Holy cow wearing a party hat, she's in trouble. She looked around for Jin, but he was nowhere to be seen.
She contemplated leaving him behind, but then thought of how the poor Prince will get a real shock to find that he's been smooching a pig.
Jina finally located Jin by the fountains with the Prince. The Prince leaned in to give the blushing Jin a peck. Jina watched, her heart melting.
But she snapped out of it and snatched Jin away from the perfect kiss. "I'm so sorry, your Highness, but we have to go!"
"Why-"
"Bye!" Jina hauled ass. Jin waved sadly as she dragged him away.
The Prince watched with growing confusion and curiosity.
The Prince has never been denied anything, and he's most definitely not starting now.
