Chapter 7 - what is love?

[Princess chamber]

"Nayeon.," said Mina while getting dressed up.

"Yes, princess?"

Mina timidly ask, "do you know what is love?"

Nayeon weakly smiled, "that's a deep question, princess" "Let me think for a while, hmm... how to say it"

"don't worry, take your time"

"it is something that can't be described by words, but it's a feeling you can't ignore, and when you see that person your heart feel ticklish or ticking bomb that could explode anytime, and you could even hear your own heartbeat, you know it's like Ba dump... Ba dump.." "and when the person is not with you, somehow it feels empty"

"Wow, you sound like you ever experience it" Mina teased.

Nayeon awkwardly chuckles, "ahahaha,"

Mina laughed, "Spill it"

"Oh please no my highness" Nayeon started to panic.

"I won't tell anyone, I promise" Mina smiled widely, anticipating the story from her.

"Alright, it's a long time ago before i entered the palace, when i was a young, don't laugh okay?"

Mina holding her laugh, "pfft, okay"

"I was running and playing around with my friends. Play and play until i tripped on myself, my knees and elbow bleed, it really hurts" "surprisingly there is a stranger helping me up while I'm sobbing and holding the pain,"

"He is very handsome in such young age, my eyes just stuck on him, he even gives me fruits and say 'don't cry, have some fruits instead' then my hearts just goes like Ba dump... Ba dump.. like I'm going crazy, unfortunately, we never met again and i couldn't remember his name, i only could memorize the Yeon because it's same as my name, so his name is blah blah Yeon"

"ㅋㅋㅋㅋ" Mina couldn't hold it anymore.

Nayeon covers her own face, "don't laughhhh, princess, you promised,"

"Alright, alright, ㅋㅋㅋ"

The royal guest is not only from the Son Kingdom, but there is also a royal guest from the Hirai Kingdom and the Chou Kingdom. Every King brings one of their children, They are princess Chaeyoung, princess Momo, and prince Tzuyu.

King Myoui gather with the other Kings and the officials, they talk, laugh and drink. Meanwhile, the princes and princesses gather in a small circle because they are only 5 peoples in total.

Prince Dubu facing Momo, "Hey there beautiful, I'm Dubu"

*blushes* "greetings Prince Dubu, I'm Momo, Hirai Momo, anyway you are way more handsome in real life"

Dubu smirked, "well, being handsome is one of my greatest strength, how about you, what is your greatest strength?"

"I'm a great flirt"

"Tss, then try to flirt with me" Dubu look amused, anticipating it.

"Do you know what is my greatest weakness?" Momo asked

"Nope, of course, i don't"

Momo smiled, "Those beautiful eyes of yours"

"that's a good one" Dubu flustered.

Princess Momo already flirting with Dubu while they only just knew each other, it made Dubu smirked like something is in his mind.

While they are having a little chit-chat, Tzuyu replied everything shortly, like he doesn't want to be here, glaring at random people while he taking a sip of his drinks.

"Mina, this taste nice, want some?"

"yes" Mina nods and Chae gives her, "thank you, Chaeyoung"

"prince Tzuyu do you want some? it really taste good"

"no, thanks," Tzuyu said with a straight face.

"ooh, okay" Chaeyoung eat by herself.

While Mina having an awkward little chit-chat with Chaeyoung and Tzuyu, she noticed her brother keep stealing a glance at Chaeyoung even though he is talking to Momo.

something is odd. Is my brother interested at Chaeyoung?
