You squirmed a bit as you stood in front of the prince in the long, layered, extravagant gown that made you feel more bare than your thin clothes and light armor.

Maybe it was because you weren't used to wearing clothes like this.
Maybe it was because the queen's old dresses felt too high-class for you

Or maybe you were making excuses for yourself in your head, and in reality, Hyunjin's gaze as he sat on the dusty couch in front of you, crossed-leg with his head resting on the palm of his hand which was propped on his knee stressed the fuck out of you.

Either way, you wanted nothing more than for this dress-fitting to be over with.

"Can I change out now?" you whine, fidgeting in the layers of cloth that wrapped around your body. Hyunjin stared at you, dumbfounded.

"y/n, that's the first dress. And it's barely been a minute since you've been in it." He stated.

You pursed your lips. "Please"

"Here try this"

Ignoring your words, he got up and headed to where the other dresses were hung before handing you one that he thought suited you better.

"Yah Hwang Hyunji-"

"-Either you put it on or I put it on you"

Your eyes went wide for a moment, heat immediately rushing to your cheeks after what he said, but you're pulled back to reality when, from the entrance, you both suddenly hear Felix sound as though he was choking on his own spit.

 Before you got pulled into Hyunjin's pace any further, you quickly grabbed the gown from his hand and rushed back to the dressing room.

"eHEm" Hyunjin jumps a bit at the sound, turning to the entrance to see Felix looking back.

"I think you're being too mean to y/n today. She can only handle so much while out of her comfort zone" the knight said with a little sigh as he approached the prince when you were out of ear-shot.

"Her expressions are just too adorable"

Hyunjin said, hands covering his face as he remembered the many different facial expressions that you've shown within the span of a few minutes. "Although I admit that I might be pushing her a bit"

Silence fills the air, excusing the sounds of cloth being moved arund and curses from your lips here and there behind the dressing area, and Felix takes this as an opportunity to further converse with the prince.

"Something's up with you lately Hyunjin, and I'm telling you now for both of your sakes, she's noticed"

"I know. I noticed as well"

Felix arched a brow at this.

"That's good."

The afternoon was going by quicker than anticipated. Around fifty dresses later, while Felix left to check if they were looking for Hyunjin for dinner, the two of you were still in the storage room, with Hyunjin having a conflicted expression on his face as he stared at the dress you were currently wearing. 

Your embarrassment was gone at this point and right now all you could think about food.

After a whole minute of Hyunjin just staring, you decide to take a seat beside him and just wait for him to speak.

"I still think there's a dress that better highlights your features"

"Hyunjin I'm tired already"
