Chenle gaped as Jisung told him his parents wanted to meet him. Just like Jisung, they were no normal parents. He was meeting the King and Queen. His nerves made him queasy. He was not excited about this.
"B-but! They're your parents, Jisung! I literally have nothing presentable to wear! I'm going to look like a jester in front of you and your parents! You do realize that all my wardrobe comprises of are plain shirts and pants that are years old!!"
Jisung grabbed his shoulders to calm him down before be jumped into the lake out of nervousness. They were at Chenle's special spot again and the smaller was close to losing his shit.
"You'll look beautiful as always, angel."
Chenle stared up at Jisung and then whined
"That's what you always say! It's about your parents, Ji! And First impressions are the last impressions!
Jisung sighed and shook his head
" you have to believe me, angel! You'll look pretty, beautiful, nice, handsome, jaw-dropping, breath-taking, like a jewel! You'll look as ethereal as you always do, okay?"
Chenle's face gradually turned red as the blood rushed to his face and he slapped Jisung's chest slightly,
"Stop doing that..."
Jisung grinned as the smaller kept mumbling about how "unfair" he is as always gets him off-guard.
Jisung helped the shorter pick out "presentable" clothes while the latter kept over-thinking.
Unfortunately, Clothes weren't the issue they should be thinking about.

When Chenle saw the palace, he unconsciously stepped back and Jisung had to push his back to make him walk. The castle guard secretly snickered at their behavior.
And when Chenle saw Jisung's parents, his soul left his body. He was embarrassingly nervous. He kept stuttering while introducing himself and stumbled when he was told to follow them to the lounge. It was still three hours till dinner and the King and Queen wanted to talk while the maids prepared their supper. While passing by the kitchen, Chenle saw a glimpse of the interior and gaped a little. Alongside books, another hobby of Chenle's was to cook. He moved along as he probably couldn't go anywhere on his own.
They all sat in the lounge with a cup of tea each in front of them. It was Chamomile tea, as the Queen said,
"So, Chenle! You're the pretty village boy who stole the crown prince's heart!
That statement had a very slight bite to it which Chenle caught on but Jisung was too delighted to notice.
Clearly, the mentions of their status weren't necessary, but she said it with such a kind smile, Chenle couldn't do anything about it.
