3RD PERSONS VIEW。

"you look tense." taeil bursted out laughing making jaeyoung perplex as she froze in her spot.

taeil passed through her, "let's talk later." he whispered before entering the dining hall. as he did, the others followed right behind him.

as youngho passed the girl, he squints his eyes at her and just plainly scoffed, walking away quickly. ten, on the other hand, stared at her for a few seconds before raised a brow and walking away as well.

jaeyoung looked away and now faced the remaining princes in the second group. kun, who had a distressed expression, and sicheng, who openly stared at her.

mark cleared his throat, "this is not the time for a staring contest."

sicheng flinched and nodded, passing through the girl with kun following him. mark placed a hand on her shoulder, "you should go back now, i don't think the others will be comfortable with you being there."

jaeyoung nodded and was escorted back to the kitchen.

as soon as mark sat down, youngho started bombarding him with a series of questions.

"do you know her?"

"who is she?"

"is she the cook?"

"she's lady jaeyoung, isn't she?"

"why do you know her?"

"one at a time, please." mark mumbled as he sighed, rubbing his temples. "one at a time..."

youngho gritted his teeth, "i can't–"

"just calm down and you can." kun advised and youngho slumped his shoulders in defeat.

once he had calmed down, mark started answering his questions one by one.

"yes, i kinda know her. i met her at the bakery."

"yes, she's min jaeyoung."

"yes, she's the cook."

"yes, she is."

"i met her."

youngho wasn't satisfied with mark's answers at all.

with crossed arms, youngho held a cold demeanor, a threatening look plastered on his face.

mark huffed, "i don't even care if you get mad at me right now."

ten clasped his hands together, "let's not create a fight, shall we?"

kun hummed and picked up the spoon, "ten's right."

"please don't fight over my—"

sicheng gripped tightly onto lucas' hand making the boy turn to look at him in confusion. sicheng shook his head, signaling lucas not to say anything. lucas sighed in defeat, "okay fine."

once their taste testing was done, youngho had no choice but to go with a yes for the cook since literally all of his brothers said yes. they head out of the mini dining hall as the third group prepared for their time.

taeil walked up to minseok, "where's lady jaeyoung?"

minseok raised both of his brows, "your highness! lady jaeyoung's at the kitchen right now."

"bring her to me. right now."

minseok nodded and went off to fetch the girl. taeil watched as the third group enter the mini dining hall.

before the last person, doyoung, could even enter the dining hall, taeil had stop him.

"h-hyung?" doyoung's uttered, voice laced with confusion.
