🌒

*A week later*

Y/n P.o.v.

In the early morning everyones busy clean and getting preparations around the palace for tonights royal ball as I also hurried off to my shop since there going to a lot of customers looking for outfits to wear.

I check my brownish black hair if I missed any spots of grey hair, luckily there isn't so I quickly grab my veil and bag. Picking up my pace trying not to run and trip, finally I made it just in time before it's open for customers.

Entering the shop I saw Yeon-wu busy cleaning and putting fabric out in display. Didn't want to waste anymore time as I speed off putting my stuff away and lend Yeon-wu a helping hand.

*Four Hours later*

Yeon-wu greeted the last customer before break time.

*Sigh*

"Oh my lord! That's tiring!" I sat down right in my spot as Yeon-wu lean against the desk area.

We sat there panting when Yeon-wu head turn towards the door.

"Boss?" looking scared.

"What?" I exclaim whipping my head back and forth between Yeon-wu and the open door.

"T-The K-King and h-his friends are coming towards our shop direction!" My eyes widen as I immediately stood up walking to the door to see which king Yeon-wu talking about.

I gasps loudly seeing Seonghwa and his friends.

"Ah shit! Yeon-wu quickly close t-" before I could finish Yeon-wu was about to close the door when a foot blocked it.

*Before the meet*

Author P.o.v.

Hwaseong was peacefully reading his book when someone bursted into his room, he gaze up to see no other then Wooyoung and his friends.

"Hyeong! What are you wearing for tonight ball?" Hwaseong continue to read his book not even bothering to answer.

Wooyoung not hearing anything from him then proceed to the older male closet to see only his regular outfits.

Wooyoung turn around to the rest and shaking his head lightly while pouting.

"Let's go and get you tailor a new outfit for tonight." Hongjoong stood infront of Hwaseong taking his book out of his hand and placing it down. Pulling the unbothered male out of his seat and out the door with the others trailing along behind him.

Walking through the buzzing streets of the Park's kingdom, entering the Min's kingdom. They walked to the famous hanbok shop (Y/n shop).

The shop door suddenly about to close, San was quick enough to put his foot out before it could fully close.

-

"Why close it so early?" San said teasingly.

Yeon-wu whole body is trembling putting his head low, stuttering in his words.

"W-W-We're n-not c-closing your h-highness." after answering back Yeon-wu slowly open the door letting him and the others in.

All scattered every where looking at fabrics and designs. Foot steps of the shop owner who earlier rushed to the back room checking herself if anything is being revealed.

"How may I help you?" grabbing their attention as they analyzing the girl face being half cover.

One of them spoke up curiously ask her, "You're the shop owner?"

"Yes, your highness."

"Why's your face cover?"

"I-I-" she couldn't think of a good reason to give them, the poor boy still trembling in the back spoke up to his owner rescue.

"S-She has a b-big scar on her face a-and she doesn't like to s-show it." demonstrating where the scar is on his face, hoping they would buy that lie.

 'Yeon-wu thank you! You just save my life! I owe you.'  busy in her thoughts she didn't notice someone 's cold stares burn holes through the side of her head.

Being bothered by the stares she glance over, her eye fell on Hwaseong who then made eye contact with her with his cold eyes.

Hwaseong sniff in her scent.. 'Floral?' he thought to himself, Y/n broke the eye contact and laid it on the others.

"Ahem!" clearing her throat to break the intensive silence.

"May I help you?" repeating her previous question.

"We need you to tailor us outfits for tonight's ball." 

"Please look at designs that we have over there." putting her left arm out as she step aside showing the direction where the designs is.

"Please pick out a design and we'll tailor it to your size."

Minutes pass as each person get their turns to measure their size, the brown hair girl feel under pressure from the four boys intense stares following her every move.

Each one has different thoughts questions in their head about the girl who just wants to get the job done and get them out of her shop as quickly as possible.

'Why does she look so familiar?'

'Why does she have a floral scent?'

'How come I've never seen her before.'

'She gives me a familiar vibe.'

Their thoughts got interrupted by the girl herself who just finish the tailoring for Jongho.

"The outfits will be deliver tonight before the event."

"How much is it?" the second oldest reach his hands grabbing his pouch of money.

"100,000 won (about $84)."after handing the money to her and they left the shop.

The girl sigh in relief after telling Yeon-wu to close the shop.

"I don't want to experience it again, that was scary." collapsing to the floor panting.

"Thank god you were there to help me, that was close." shaking her head while thanking the poor boy who bravely helped her before.

"I need to get their outfits done. I'll send someone to send it to them." Yeon-wu nodding his head, make his way to grab the materials.

Hours upon hours they finally finish, the boy is now carefully packing away before its being delivered.

Y/n had to leave first to get ready for the ball later leaving Yeon-wu the job to hand the fitting over to the deliver man.

Exchanging each other goodbyes she left and hurried back....
