With her head still attached to her soft pillow, Joy turned with her eyes still closed. She wanted to sleep in more but her brain just wouldn't let her. Her brain is now fully awake, ready to welcome a brand new day. Nonetheless, Joy still had a good sleep.

Slowly, she opened her eyes. She smiled when she sees the first thing that she sees.

Letting out a small yawn, Joy quietly came down from the bed and get dressed in her daily Queen's outfit without putting on any accessories on her hair. Once done, she walked back to the bed to wake the King up.

She squatted at the side of the bed and quietly analysed the details of that person. Starting from the top, her innocent big eyes traced every feature. From how the hair on his eyebrow grows to how long his eyelashes are. From how high his nose-bridge is to how soft his lips look......

"Enjoying the view?" The mouth suddenly smiled and moved.

Joy smiled as the King opened his eyes. "Morning." she whispered.

"Don't change the subject. You forgot to pay for the ticket." 

Joy looked extremely confused.

"You forgot to pay for the ticket to enjoy this awesome view." The King pointed at himself proudly.

Joy laughed. Somebody help this guy, please.

The King pretends to look serious. "Laughing so prettily won't help. You still have to pay up."

Joy stopped laughing and moved closer. She let her lip gently land on his for one second.

"Satisfied?"

"Totally."

The King raised his hand and pulled Joy to him and wrap his arms around, cuddling her. Joy smiled as she slowly breathes in the fragrant smell he emits. Holding her in his arms, the King rest his chin on her head and closed his eyes. He sincerely wished that the time will stop now.

Sadly, that wish doesn't seem to come true.

After a long minute in each other's embrace, Joy raised her head. "Time to get ready for a new day." she said.

The King shook his head. "Let's stay like this for a while more." He hugged her tighter.

Joy chuckled. "No, you have to get ready for your court meeting."

She patted his back twice before pulling away from the King. She sat up and turned to look at him. The King pouted before forcefully pulled his body away from the bed.

Feeling a sense of accomplishment after seeing the King sat up, Joy smiled and came down from the bed. She held her hand out and pulled the King to the hidden door that connects the King and Queen's quarters together. 

"Eunuch Kim must be ready to dress you on the other side. Don't keep him waiting." Joy opened the door and gave the King a slight push. 

The King looked at her with his puppy eyes. He doesn't want to be apart from his Queen.

"Will you really be alright?" The King looked at his Queen with worried eyes. He held both of her hands tightly.
