THE SOUND OF violin and piano shimmers through the smooth vanilla hall, bouncing off the clear crystal ground and walls. There's a table that reaches from one end to another.
On top of it is a white cloth filled with rich desserts. Chocolate and strawberry-frosted doughnuts, cinnamon twist, glazed, jelly, and blueberry ones. Small cakes, macrons, chocolate truffles, cookies of all flavor.
Some cookies are powdered with a hint of delightful sugar and a hidden considerate message inside to surprise the one eating the treat.
Elegant candles stand far apart across one another like neighbors allowing the garden of treats to stay fancy just for a moment. That is until someone decides to greet the small dessert and pop it into their mouth. Changmin sits at a table, holding a glass of apple juice, eyes shifting to a familiar gentle voice of a young boy in his early twenties.
"Have you seen Kim Younghoon?"
Sunwoo asks a lady around his age. The way she dressed, a long elegant dress hiding her feet, showing the skin of her shoulders. He's in a black and white suit accompanied by a bow. His hair groomed, auburn bangs slightly covering his forehead, wearing a black mask that covers the part of his eyes.
It glows from the scatters of small white diamonds touching the ends. "No, I'm sorry," the lady says, leaving the boy.
Kim Sunwoo is the second male lead in The Castle, a knight of the Moon family, and forever an alternative guy. Besides the fact he was childhood friends with Younghoon, he could never gain the mysterious yet bubbly crown prince.
Hyunjae enters the hall with Youngjae, taking steps towards the center for the evening's dance, smiling. Their attention turns to a tall boy wearing the exact suit as the wolf-boy prince.
Changmin notices this and gives a scornful laugh, knowing all too well the leading male tonight won't be Son Youngjae but Kim Younghoon.
And Younghoon is making a lovely entrance despite the searching eyes holding the desperate need to find a familiar face if not having a dance with the crown prince of the Sun Family. Technically, the evening ball was arranged by both the Sun and Moon families' parents for the crown princes to get closer.
Yes, that's exactly how it should be. Changmin thinks. He smiles in victory when Hyunjae walks towards Younghoon. Hyunjae had noticed him, quickly apologizing to Youngjae so he could have the dance with his fiance.
If I let Youngjae go this time, it means I'm not doing a good job at parenting.
Changmin chuckles and then drinks the remaining apple juice, recalling what occurred ten minutes ago. The brunette came across Younghoon, and on purpose, he spilled the grape juice on the prince, apologizing.
