The rest of the night everyone spent it the way they wanted. Flora cooped herself in her chamber reading a book trying to not worry about the thoughts that trouble her. Jimin was in his office trying to find who that mystery girl was, he swears he's seen her before but he just can't pinpoint when and where.
Jin also spent his time in his chamber as he was called by his parents about a charity event at an orphanage he has to attend after he comes back home. like Flora Namjoon spent his time reading while Jungkook was playing a game on his phone in the same room as Namjoon. Taehyung was aimlessly walking around the Terrain thinking about what was said to him earlier today. Hoseok and Nova disappeared together again.
The night had a tinge of awkwardness to it and they were able to feel it when it was time for dinner that the chefs cooked up for the royals and the advisor.
Everyone was seated at a rectangular table enough to fit the eight of them. Everyone was seated at the table but one person was missing, Flora.
Flora
What if I just skip dinner.... No Flora, don't be silly you need to eat. I was pacing around my room trying to find a way out of this dinner. After thinking I can't get out of this, I wasn't able to. Gosh, I don't know if I can face Taehyung. All the thoughts about the doubt I was having is creeping up on me again. Flora you have to go, the poor boy will think you dislike him after confessing his feelings. Ugh ok ok, I got this. I pepped talked myself
Finally working up the courage to step out the door I immediately bumped my head into a strong chest. "ouch the hell" rubbing my forehead. I look up and see Taehyung. "Hey everyone was worried about you....so I just wanted to check up on you. So are you okay" I can tell he was nervous too? He kept avoiding eye contact.
"Yes I'm feeling okay I was just...getting ready"🙂
"Oh okay so..uh the food is ready"
"Okay" I just smile not knowing what else to say, Taehyung steps aside letting me go out first "thank you" smiling. I waited for him to shut the door, and we both walked together to the dining room.

When we approached the dinner table the voices that were loud before got quiet once we stepped in. The princes and the only king stare at the teacher as if they were only communicating with stares. We took our seats and again no one spoke. Looking around I see Nova giving me sympathetic eyes. But I just grab my napkin and place it on my lap. Why is everyone acting so strange? I questioned but I didn't say anything. On the other hand, Nova looks irritated with the whole situation. "OK why are you all acting strange now that Flora came in, you were all fine this morning" Nova looked around at the boys till one of them spoke up.
"Well... we just..well we don't want to impose in things that aren't our business but" Jimin was stuttering not knowing to say what he's thinking "but we're all aware that Tae and Flora are kinda dating now and we just don't know" he stops again to think "we aren't sure if" he looks around at the other man "we do know if it's in Taxes and Floras best interest to be dating" finally the man spilled out was he was thinking. But Jimin continues "we all know being who we are dating isn't easy but it's even harder when going to be crowned queen and a prince who will only stay a prince, and if you want to get into logistics this won't be easy for them considering they are royals from two different countries" the table falls into silence once again.
"Your right Jimin" breaking the silence "it won't be easy and I do have my doubts considering the position we are in...but I do genuinely like Taehyung" I look at him with a small smile "hopefully the feeling is mutual" but I'm willing to put in the effort and if at one point we want to get serious then at that time we'll handle it" speaking up for myself felt good. "We understand that we do. We're just looking out for our friend" Jimin said as he took a sip of his wine.
"This relationship just started" I looked around at the table looking to see if I had everyone's attention. Which I did. " well just take things as they go... so if you'll excuse me" I got up to go take a breather. Everyone's eyes followed till I stepped outside.
"Guys that was not cool" Nova was able to get up but Taehuyng beat her to it "it's ok Nova I'll go see if she's okay" Taehyung doesn't excuse himself he just gets up and leaves.
"You're all going to apologize to her" Nova states. "We were just telling the truth, Nova ''. "You might have, but it isn't your place, this is not your relationship Jimin'' the other men stay silent.

"Oh fudge I should have taken my cardigan with me" I hugged myself trying to keep myself warm, I kept walking till I found a bench and decided to sit. The night sky was clear and I was able to see all the stars. "Funny how this all started because I made a stupid wish on a star" I chuckle to myself but it's only been a few weeks and things already started to change. The wind kept blowing in my direction but I didn't want to get up yet. I puff my cheeks thinking about the events that just occurred. Suddenly I felt a warm soft sweater being placed on my shoulder, I turned back to see Taehyung walking over from the back of the bench to where I'm sitting and he joined me. "Hey" looking down at his hands "sorry about Jimin I swear he's a great person when you get to know him, but a bit annoying but great nonetheless" he chuckles. "Look Taehyung I'm not going to beat around the bush with this" I turn to look at him "I understand if you don't want to be with me for the valid point Jimin said but I won't lie to you and say I didn't have doubts too, but I want to give this a try" we sat in silence for a few seconds before I spoke "I had some doubts to and I spent most of my day thinking about and I agree I would like to give this a try" I was happy with his response, sitting closer to me he takes my hand into he brings them up to his lips and places a soft kiss on them "Flora I promise I won't break your heart".
"And I promise I won't break yours".
We spent the rest of the night looking at the stars. He had his arm over my shoulder trying to keep me warm, even though I'm wearing his sweater. My second day in Poland and this is already the highlight of my trip here.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter
stay safe and healthy :3
