Summary:

Lim·er·ence

/ˈlimərəns/

The state of being infatuated or obsessed with another person typically experienced involuntarily and characterized by a strong desire for reciprocation of one’s feelings but not primarily for a sexual relationship.

I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I thought it was just a game, guess not.

Note:

This is a Mystic Messenger au since theres not a lot of it… also i’m strangely attracted to saeran (saeyoung’s twin; unknown) and is salty cause can’t end up with him therefore, I made this :) hope you enjoy!

*Incoming message*

Oh my God. who the hell messages someone at 8 in the damn morning. Wait.. It’s not my professor right? FUCK. I knew I should’ve given him my report 3 days ago. Shit, I’m dead. I grabbed my phone and looked at the sender of the message. What the hell… what app is this? I don’t remember downloading this app. I opened the ‘mysterious’ app.

Unknown [8:00]: Hi!

Thank God, it’s not my professor. Yes, okay I still have time for my report. My pacing heart relaxed as I read the message.

Unknown [8:00]: Ahh, finally someone to talk to, thank god

I should probably respond, right? I mean I can’t leave him hanging… that’d be rude… I proceeded to reply the stranger.

Me [8:00]: Hello…

Unknown [8:00]: You’re saying hi right?? Hi ^^

Unknown [8:01]: hope I didn’t surprise you

Unknown [8:01]: I’m just an ‘ordinary’ person :)

Me [8:01]: what’s with the emphasis on the ‘ordinary’?

Unknown [8:01]: hehe you’re funny

Unknown [8:01]: Well I can’t really say i’m ‘extraordinary’ to a person I just met so, I should be humble shouldn’t I?

Unknown [8:01]: anywayy, i’m really excited since you’re the first person to come in ^^

Unknown [8:01]: I was so worried that no one would come in as i was making this app

Me [8:01]: so… is there anything I can do to help you?

Please, nothing bad. Please, don’t hurt me. I’m an innocent college student…. Lord please, I don’t want to die this early. I chanted over and over. It’s probably not a big deal to others but, I don’t want to get killed. This is how people get killed in movies.

Unknown [8:01]: Actually, there is!

Fuck. here it is.

Unknown [8:01]: This app actually isn’t a messenger app. It’s actually a messenger GAME app.

Unknown [8:01]: I wanted to ask you if you could test the game out ^^

Unknown [8:01]: The concept: chatting with pretty/good-looking guys :))

Test a game? Well, that’s not so bad… right? There must be a catch rite?

Me [8:01]: For free?

Unknown [8:01]: Yep ^^

Unknown [8:01]: It’ll be a win-win situation

Unknown [8:01]: and wouldn’t it be more suspicious if someone paid you to do this?

What? There must be a catch right… I’m not buying.

Unknown [8:01]: And the chats aren’t everything

Unknown [8:01]: there are also hidden stories, amusing stories that will stir up your imagination!

Unknown [8:01]: And all you have to do is play the game and tell me your honest opinion about it

Unknown [8:01]: pretty simple right?

Well, I guess so… I mean I finished my TV show series already and I have nothing to really do… except for that report… but I can do that later.

Unknown [8:02]: Here are the characters in the game:

And I mean, they are pretty good looking….

Unknown [8:02]: They’re not real people though, they’re created with Ai

Damn it. It was a chance for my single heart to have a partner.

Unknown [8:02]: So, what do you think?

I mean, I guess… I don’t have anything to do anyway…

Me [8:02]: Okay, i’ll do it.

Unknown [8:02]: That’s great ^^

Unknown [8:02]: I studied hard to create this game… I hope you enjoy it!

Unknown [8:02]: Also, I think it would be better if we talked about the details on the phone.

Unknown [8:02]: So, don’t freak out when you see an unknown number and answer it plz.

*Incoming call*

“heyy! It me, the one who was just chatting with you” he introduced.

“Unknown?” I asked.

“Yea, it’s un-”

“Wait, how’d you get my number?” I spoke up, cutting him mid-sentence

“Oh.. um… well, I have my sources… Anyway, about the game, I figured it would be better if you could hear my voice as I was explaining the game. You remember the pic I sent of the characters right?” he quickly changed the subject.

“But wait, where’d you get my num-”

“You remember right?” he cut me off. Well, that’s not very polite… I just wanted to know where he got my number. Damn creep. “Yeah, I remember.” I firmly stated.

“Well they are the characters that I developed and is still developing and they are part of this group called the A.F.A”

“A.F.A? The hell is that?”

“It’s a closed organization with the purpose of holding fundraising parties. The objective of the game is to open a fundraising party. All you have to do is choose who you want to be invited in the party.” he explained.

Well, that doesn’t sound that interesting at all! Sounds boring to me. “That’s it?” I questioned.

“No! Of course not. Throughout the game, some stories will also be uncovered as you go further. They’re really interesting stories, I promise! You get to chat and call the characters as well. It’ll be much faster to understand all these if you played it instead of listening to my explanation” I could tell he was trying to be as persuasive as he can and honestly, it’s kinda working on me. Since I had ‘nothing to do’ anyway right? It wouldn’t hurt to try the damn game out.

“Alright, fine. I’ll do it.” I concluded.

“That’s great! But since this game has not been released yet and cannot be revealed to the market. So, you’ll have to come over to where I am to do the tests” he continued.

“What.” I blurted out.

“Yeah, just send me your address and i’ll go pick you up” I could hear him smiling from the other side of the line.

“What, I’m not doing it then” I announced.

“What, no. You have to do it. Please! It won’t be bad, I promise. You don’t have to send me your home address just an address where I can pick you up. Please! You already agreed too!” he begged through the phone.

“Fine.” I ended the call, slightly annoyed yet excited at the same time.

I sent him the address to a nearby coffee shop. Shortly after drinking a cup of nice, hot coffee and enjoying my somewhat free time, A stranger walked up to me.

“Are you Y/N? I’ve been ordered to pick you up.” He asked, eyes unshaken and focused.

“Um, yes?” I hesitantly answered.

“Get in please. I have been ordered to pick you up.” I got in the car, slowly and cautiously.

“The location is confidential so could you please put on this blindfold?” He handed me a sleeping mask.

“I’m sorry, do I have to use it?” I coaxed.

“Please understand, the road to the place is confidential as well…” he looked at me with seriousness written throughout his features.

“I guess so…” as soon as I finished putting on the blindfold, he drove off.

“We’ve arrived.” He stated. I could hear the door being opened beside me.

“Welcome! I’ve been waiting. Welcome to this wonderful place.” A new man started talking. “I’ve been anxiously awaiting your arrival.” I felt his hand on my shoulder, guiding me in the place. “You remember me right?” He asked

“Who… are you?” I questioned him, trying to feel where the man is standing

“You forgot already? We just talked on the phone…” from the tone of his voice, I could tell he was slightly disappointed. “It’s me.”

“Ahh, Unknown? Yes, I remember now” I smiled at him.

We started walking deeper into the building with him guiding the way. Instinctively, I tried to take of the blindfold of since, I did arrive at the destination but, “Don’t take your blindfold now. You can take it off when you’re in your room.” He warned me.

After a couple minutes, we finally arrived in ‘my’ room. “Hi!” This ‘unknown’ person popped out in front of me. “It’s the first time we met face to face” he smiled at me. Well damn, He’s hot. Why aren’t there guys like him in my campus? God i’d DIE if there was someone like him… then again, I wouldn’t have a chance since all the girls will go batshit crazy over him…

“Hi… nice to meet you, I guess,” i hesitantly said.

“Thank you for trusting me and coming here, I really appreciate it. I guess I haven’t really Introduced myself to you, My name’s Christian” he introduces as one hand raises for a handshake.

“I’m Y/N.” I accepted his his handshake. He lifted my hands up to his lips. “Pleasure to meet you,” He said, as he looked up, eyes meeting mine then letting go after a couple seconds. Well that’s charming.

“As I mentioned before, the objective of the game is to host a party with the AFA. The characters in the game are all Als that i’ve designed but I may have created these Als to be super-realistic so the Als will naturally be suspicious when you enter the game, since you’re a new person they’ve never met.” He started explaining.

“So, they’re like real people?” I puzzled.

“Yep.” he answered, popping the ‘p’ at the end. “Your scenario will be that someone hacked your messenger and that is how you ended up in the chatroom.”

“So someone hacked the messenger?”

“Yes, and that is how you ended up in the messenger. Interesting isn’t it? It’s no fun if they all liked you from the very beginning. They’ll start questioning you about how you got in and you wouldn’t know because you know nothing. They might start questioning your position and try to find where you are and might try to pry out about the creator, me. And you,” He pointed at me, “can’t reveal the truth. You must keep it a secret ‘cause, it won’t be fun if you just told them, would it?

“Well yeah, it wouldn’t be fun if it was revealed from the start…” I nodded my head in agreement.

“I’m happy that you understand Y/N.” He smiled your way, yet again.

“Oh also, you might end up with one of them too!” he chuckled.

“How do I end up with you?” I blurted out without thinking. Shit. did I say that out loud. Fuck. he’s gonna think i’m a total creep. “Fuck, I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to say that aloud…” I mumbled. He started laughing at my statement. My face turned red and I looked away, not wanting to make eye contact with him yet, sneaking glances every now and then.

“It’s fine. I don’t actually know how to answer you…” he looked down embarrassed as well. “Anyway, remember keep your promise okay? Here, start the game out the game for you… since it’s still being improved.” I gave him my phone and waited as he helped me start the game out. “Here you go, enjoy! And make sure, keep the promise, kay?” man, i’ll never get tired of that eye smile.

“Okay.” I smiled back at him.

I clicked the big ‘Chatroom’ button.

*Y/N has entered the chatroom*

Nostalgia · Jeon Jungkook

Prologue

Summary: What if, you’re best friend was a future king of a kingdom?

Pairing: Jungkook · Reader

Genre: Fluff, somewhat angst??

Word Count: 4618

Author Note: this is based on this otome game. this is MY ADAPTION of the story. Therefore, I do not own anything from the storyline other than the fact that I changed the dialogue to fit my version and the female character was made up by me and some other things have been changed to fit the story. Also, the characters are changed a bit to make the story feel better.

What the…?

A man in front me was down on one knee peering up at me with a dazzling smile.

“Will you go out on a date with me?” he asked me, smiling ever so gracefully.

I still didn’t know the identity of the man in front of me nor did I realize that this meeting would change my life forever…

Wow, everything is so pretty~ I thought to myself

I was out enjoying my first day off since arriving here in Hyewang Kingdom as an exchange student. This country, with a history spanning 80 generations, values its people’s autonomy over old traditions and has a glamorous streak. This sense of glamor seemed to tint the picture-perfect streets of the city as well as the people filling its streets. I always dreamed of seeing it for myself and now, here I am.

It was then that I saw an old man in the streets, doubled over.

“Oh my God, are you okay??” I call out to him as I hurried to his side and the old man looked up at me with a troubled expression and my eyes were met with an elegant face and fine clothing.

“Oh, i suddenly feel a tad unwell is all…” the man let out a painful sigh.

Is he from around here?

“I saw a park just over there would you like to sit with me on one of its benches?” I rubbed his back gently as I invited him.

“That’s all right, somebody should be coming for me soon enough…” The old man’s words trailed off as his eyes rested on the necklace I was wearing. “Miss, that necklace…?”

“What? this?” I touched the necklace that lay against my skin. “It’s one of my personal treasures from my mother,” I replied him. “Umm, is there something on my face?” I asked as I noticed him staring at me.

“No, no. It’s nothing. Please excuse me. I can get distracted from time to time.” he smiled gently at me.

“Oh, it’s okay...” I replied.

A luxurious car then drove up to us and a man climbed out. The man seemed like he was in a hurry as well.

“Master, did something happen?”

I addressed the now kneeling man from the car whose face had turned pale, “He seemed to be feeling unwell.”

The man looked even more troubled by my words and he put his hand to the older man’s shoulder.

“Are you alright, sir?”

“Yes, much better thanks to this young lady, Thank you.” The old man leaned on the younger man’s hand as he straightened up and smiled at me.

“No, please. Anyway, I should get going,” I gave a small bow and turned to leave but the old man called out to stop me.

“Please, one moment.” He insisted.

I turned back and the old man was whispering something to the other man.

“What’s your name, young lady?” He asked.

“My name?”

“I’d like to know the name of a person who has treated me with such kindness, wouldn’t you?” The old man flashed me a bright smile. Then he handed me a piece of paper that had been handed to him by the man by his side. “If you ever need any help, please allow me to return the favor. All you need to do is contact me at this number.” There was a telephone number written on the paper which I had accepted without thinking.

“Umm… I-” Before I could form a thought, the old man spoke again.

“Your name, Miss?” startled by the slightly forceful tone, I replied in a rush.

“Umm… my name is (L/N) (F/N).”

So… what am I going to do with this? I was strolling aimlessly as i looked down at the paper I had just received. All I did was rub his back a little… What am I supposed to do with his phone number? Well, for now, in my pocket it goes.

At that moment, i felt something strike me on the top of my head. I looked up to see that the sky, which was so bright just a moment ago, was now covered by dark rain clouds. Raindrops were falling and the rain was getting heavier and heavier so, I ran for cover under the awning of the closest shop. As fate would have it, the store I dashed into was a flower shop full of variety of fragrances. Suddenly overcome by all the beautiful flowers, I let out a whisper without thinking.

“They’re so beautiful,”

And then the soft voice of a man reached my ears, “Beautiful flowers for a beautiful young lady,”

I turned around to see someone holding out an umbrella to me.

“I’m sorry. That was a bit forward of me. Did I frighten you?” The holder of the umbrella was a young man with a gentle smile.

This man, I feel like i’ve seen him somewhere before. And his clothes… I cocked my head to the side as i eyed his somewhat fancy clothing.

He smiled brightly, “Aren’t you getting wet standing there?” His gentle smile appeared on his lips as he held the umbrella out to me.

This guy reminds me of Hyewang's Prince Jimin, I deduced. But there’s no way a prince would be wandering around a place like this…

“It’s okay, I’m fine under this awning. I think that you’re probably the only one getting wet…” I looked at his soaking clothes.

“I’m alright. You know, if you listen hard enough it almost seem like you can hear whispers from beautiful flowers like these. Hearing that, I came to this shop, and here, this beautiful flower,” His hands gently brushed my cheek.

This beautiful flower? That’s a corny pickup joke... That smile seemed to suck me in and suddenly I felt my heart pounding and then, over the man’s shoulder, I noticed many black, luxurious cars speeding by. I couldn’t help stare at the expensive cars as they flew by one after another. One of the cars splashed up mud as it passed.

“Oh my God,” I blurted out. He’s gonna get covered in mud. As i thought the words, I dashed to try to protect the man from the splash then, with a splash, my clothes were covered with muddy water.

Shit. I cursed in my mind. “Um…”

As soon as he noticed what had happened, the man propelled me towards the flower shop and looked at me with concern written all over his face.

“Are you okay?” he asked me.

“I… yes.” That was what I said but I obviously was not alright. Then the car that had splattered me with mud stopped a little way ahead and a man stepped out of it.

“Please forgive me. Were you struck, miss?” As he spoke, his eyes fell on the man beside me.

“Oh,”

Do they know each other?

“Were you… on your way to the party, sir?” He asked.

“Yes.”

Just then, a new voice snapped into the conversation, “What are you doing?”

I turned in the direction of that voice and there, I saw another man stepping out of the car in a rather dressy clothing just like the man beside me.

Oh, I’ve seen him somewhere too… I was very sure of that.

“Forgive me, sir. This young lady here was struck with mud due to my reckless driving and-”

“Mud?” he started at me boldly then he seemed to notice the man beside me and started, “Sorry, but i’m in a hurry. Jaehwan, take care of this”

After he spoke, he turned his back on us and hurried back to his car.

What the fuck… he didn’t even apologize. Rude bitch. I cursed in my mind.

“Er, please accept our apologies, miss. You must allow us to pay to replace your damaged clothes. You need only send us the bill after you buy something to replace your outfit.” He held out a card as he spoke.

“Come one! Let’s go,” the rude man demanded.

“A-at once, sir!” Then i watched as they went back to their car. I heard a snickering laugh from behind me.

“He just never changes,” I saw the man smiling when I turned to look at him.

“First, you take this.” As he spoke, he smoothly held out a handkerchief.

I hesitated slightly before I accepted the kind gesture, “Thank you.” I lightly patted at the mud with the handkerchief and he spoke in a kind voice.

“I am sorry, though, Your cute outfit was ruined just for me…” his voice dropping at the end.

“No, it’s not… It wasn’t your fault. Don’t worry about it” The man seemed startled by my smile and he stared openly at my face.

Wha-what now… That serious expression set my heart racing all at once. Then, he dropped to one knee before me and took my hand in his and the words that came next from his mouth,

“Won’t you accompany me on a date?”

I can’t believe that i’m actually here… That was the only thought in my head as I stood before the castle of Nobel Michel. It was the largest castle in the world, best known for being a site where only members of the royal families of the six great kingdom could be married. It was the holy land for any girl in the world who had ever dreamed of being a princess. But, what was I doing in this place what any woman would dream to come to? The truth was that I had been brought thanks to that man’s sudden invitation.

~A couple hours ago~

“A… date?” I stood fixed to the spot in shock and another gentle smile appeared on his face.

“To ruin a woman’s clothing is, as serious a sin as to pluck a beautiful rose from its branch.” his gentle smile appearing yet again on his beautiful lips.

“O-okay…?” then the man drew my hand to him and kissed the back of it.

“I don’t know if this can serve as an appropriate apology but, won’t you do me the honor of going with me to tonight’s party?” Then the man continued with a serious expression, “Louis, if you could make the necessary preparations?”

“At once, sir” I hurriedly opened my mouth to speak when I heard that exchange. “But, I can’t possibly go to a party! I just came to Hyewang as an exchange student. I didn’t bring anything fancy to wear or-” then the man smiled gently again.

“That is nothing to worry about. We will take care of everything.” As he spoke, he clapped his hands and several men and women appeared at that signal.

What the- Unbothered by my shock, he gave out orders to the people who had appeared around us.

“A dress for a lady, please. And hair and makeup too. Oh, and have these clothes cleaned and have replacements prepared as well.” he sternly commanded the people around him.

Holy Fuck... I can’t believe i’m actually here… That was the only thought in my head as I stood before the castle of Nobel Michel. It was the largest castle in the world, best known for being a site where only members of the royal families of the six great kingdom could be married. It was the holy land for any girl in the world who had ever dreamed of being a princess. But, what was I doing in this place what any woman would dream to come to? The truth was that I had been brought thanks to that man’s sudden invitation.

~A couple hours ago~

“A… date?” I stood fixed to the spot in shock and another gentle smile appeared on his face.

“To ruin a woman’s clothing is, as serious a sin as to pluck a beautiful rose from its branch.” his gentle smile appearing yet again on his beautiful lips.

“O-okay…?” then the man drew my hand to him and kissed the back of it.

“That is nothing to worry about. We will take care of everything.” As he spoke, he clapped his hands and several men and women appeared at that signal.

What the- Unbothered by my shock, he gave out orders to the people who had appeared around us.

“A dress for a lady, please. And hair and makeup too. Oh, and have these clothes cleaned and have replacements prepared as well.” he sternly commanded the people around him.

~now~

But I never thought I would be brought someplace like this… I had just stepped into the castle of Noble Michel. I lifted the hem of the borrowed dress and stepped forward, timidly. He told me that he would see me inside but… I didn’t even get the chance to ask for his name… I was about to step into the ballroom when I was nearly knocked over by someone stepping out of the room.

“Excuse me,” I looked up and saw a regal face looking down at me.

“No, I am the one who should apologize.” I lowered my head respectfully and he smiled slightly.

“I haven’t seen you at one of these parties before.”

Holy Fuck. He’s actually really good looking but, he was dressed like that man. I wonder if it is the formal dress from some foreign country? I questioned myself.

“It’s a pleasure, Sir. My name is (Y/N).”

“A pleasure.” Those curt words left me feeling nervous again for a moment.

“Is this perhaps your first time here?” I nodded when he asked.

“Yes, it is.” But how could he tell that i was?

As I stared curiously at him, he smiled for a brief instant. Then I heard another voice coming from behind us.

“Well, isn’t this a surprise; finding you actually talking with a woman.” I turned when I heard those words and another man was standing there with a bright smile.

“Are you not going to introduce me?”

“I’m hardly in a position to be giving introductions… Excuse me.” That was all he said before he stepped back into the ballroom.

“He’s as cold as ever… are you not going in?”

I hurriedly stepped to the side, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to stand in your way.”

Then the man easily took my hand in his, “You don’t need to worry about anything like that, my dear.” Me? My dear? “Meeting you here like this must be some sort of fate. Will you allow me to escort you into the party?” He peered into my face as he spoke, his tone slightly teasing.

Well, I mean… It is embarrassing to walk in my myself.. Sure, why not. “I would be honoured, sir. Thank you.” And then I stepped into a world unlike I had ever known before.

I knew I wouldn’t fit in here. Maybe I should just go home… As I thought the words, I reached out for a glass of champagne off a nearby table. At the same moment, a man standing nearby reached for a glass and our hands met.

“...Sorry,”

“Oh, no… please excuse me,” The man hardly seemed to notice me. As he lifted the glass from the table and drained it dry. Then he took several more glasses and drained them as well.

Damn, that’s quite impressive. Wait, did he catch me staring at him… but he did finally acknowledge my existence.

“What? Have you never seen anyone drink before?”

“Er, no.. I…” Now that I looked at him, I saw that he was wearing the same sort of outfit as the men i’d met before. Hmm… and I feel like I’ve seen him on TV or something as well… Then another man’s voice interrupted us.

“Nice manners you got there. Instead of saying Hello, you’re here with the alcohol and the women.” The new man, with just a hint of innocence about his cherubic face, was also wearing a similar outfit.

Yep, this is definetly a formal occasion.

When he heard those words, the man drinking champagne spoke in disgruntled tone, “What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing in particular,” The new man smiled and the other sighed as he muttered, “I don’t know how you put up with being put on parade like this…”

“We don’t have a choice, do we? It’s part of our civil duty and all that. So come, let’s be going.” The drinker nodded reluctantly at those words.

“I know, Goodbye.” He glanced at me for a moment before he fell in with the other man. And then they were gone.

And him too, I feel sure I’ve seen him somewhere. I’m not being delusional right? Just as the thought crossed my mind, a voice filled the room, “Ladies and Gentlemen, Thank you for your patience! Please turn your eyes now to the balcony atop the spiral staircase!”

What the fuck..? I looked about the excited crowd and everyone was staring up at the balcony. My eyes were also drawn up the stairs

“The eyes of the world are all upon them; the future kings of the six greatest kingdoms on earth!”

What?

And then the spotlight snapped on, illuminating the figures of six men.

The future kings…? Those guys are…!?

I stared wide-eyed at the men’s faces.

The announcer starts off, “First is Hyewang’s own Prince, Park Jimin!” At those words, one of the men started down the spiral staircase.

What!? I thought he just looked like him. He was a fucking prince after all?? A real prince… I can’t believe I… He stepped down off the stairs and another pair of footsteps could be heard coming from that staircase.

“Yakunouchi’s Prince, Kim Taehyung!” Oh, isn’t that the man that I almost ran into outside? I thought he seemed quite cool and good-looking but… I didn’t think that he would be THAT noble…

As my eyes followed him, the next prince was also introduced, “Prince of Dongyeong, Min Yoongi!” I felt slightly suffocated as I saw YoongI coming down the stairs. The rude, bitchy man is also one of them?? Oh, no wonder he seemed to know Prince Jimin. But, I never would have taken him for a prince…

Then another familiar face entered my line of sight.

“Jung Hoseok, Prince of Dangwon!” Oh, that’s the man who escorted me into the ballroom a couple minutes ago… which means, I was escorted in by a future fucking king…

As I stood in shock, another man was being introduced to the audience, “Kim Seokjin, Prince of Gwangyeong!” A very smartly put-together man looked down upon the crowd. Oh, the man that drained all those champagne glasses… He had a slightly frightening aura about him but, of course, he’s a prince too

I couldn’t hide my complete shock. Even as the spotlight fell upon the last prince, “And, last but not least, Iwabetsu’s Prince, Jeon Jungkook!” He’s royalty too… He looks a fair bit younger than the other princes, though. Maybe even younger than me.

At last all six men had made their way down the staircase and a great storm of applause naturally filled the room. How could it be that the six men I met today all turned out to be princes? Things like this just don’t happen, right?

After that it had come time for the receiving line but I was unable to approach the princes. Thought I do want to go and thank His Highness, Prince Jimin at least… Despite that wish, the space in front of the princes was filled by an army of women. There was no clear way to get in front of them. Just then, Someone shoved past me and sent me knocking into another stranger.

“Watch it!” A woman snapped at me. Flinging forward, I tumbled to the ground, my hands breaking my fall. Silence fell around me for a moment.

Fuck! That was embarrassing... I hurriedly tried to stand and then,

“Are you alright?” A hand appeared before me, together with that voice.

Oh, this voice is… I looked up and there was His Highness smiling at me.

“Thank you.” I borrowed his hands and pulled myself up as the prince gently smiled, “So, you are a prince… Please forgive me for all the thoughtless things I said…”

His eyes glimmered when he heard my word, “No, I am at fault for bringing you someplace like this without even giving you my name. I am the one who should be apologizing.” Prince Jimin looked at me as he spoke, “I wasn’t sure how much a last minute outfit would look, but… you look divine.” My face flushed red when I heard those words.

“That’s not… oh, but I do thank you for lending me this beautiful dress.” I smiled back at him and he squeezed my hand still in his.

“A dress exists only to be worn by a woman. I am sure that this dress is glad that it would adorn someone as beautiful as yourself.”

“I-”

“But, if you aren’t careful, you may just find yourself the target of jealousy with beauty such as yours. I’m sure the lovely flowers decorating this ballroom all wish they were quite as captivating as the bloom in your cheeks.”

It’s really quite embarrassing but still,

A voice spoke up from behind us, “I never would have expected you to know the lady, Prince Jimin.”

When I looked, I saw that it was Prince Hoseok, who had escorted me into the ballroom, “Thanks for joining me before.” I bowed my head when he spoke to me.

“No, thank you, sir, for escorting me!”

“What’s this? You know Prince Hoseok?” he asked me.

“I wouldn’t say that i known him… we only just met at the entrance…”

“Thats right. You must know her better than I, don’t you, Prince Jimin?” Prince Jimin smiled softly.

“I’m afraid that I only just met her today myself. But it is really thanks to Prince YoongI that I could invite her here this evening.”

Then Prince Yoongi, who had been standing nearby, cut into the conversation. Thanks to me?” he asked, confused.

“Yes, that’s right. Don’t you remember the woman whose clothes were ruined by your car kicking up mud this afternoon?” Prince cocked his head to the side then looked at my face.

“Oh, you’re the one from the street. But, why are you here?” He asked me.

“Prince Jimin kindly invited me here to apologize for the damage to my clothes.” I replied, as politely as possible.

“He invited you? ...Hmm, well, he always liked hanging around commoners.” He glanced at me as he spoke and then walked away.

Ugh. He’s such a dick. I grimaced and then I felt piercing eyes on me. When I looked, Prince Taehyung was examining my face.

Oh, He chuckled as he walked away. Oh, great! Now a prince caught me making a strange face…

At that moment, Prince Hoseok began speaking with a smile, “Prince Yoongi seemed quite worked up. Maybe he’s trying to get your attention?”

What…?

“Prince Hoseok, you know that Prince Yoongi would be angry if he heard you say something like that.” Prince Hoseok shrugged and laughed.

“That’s funny but, i’d rather talk with you… How about it?” Prince Hoseok cracked a smile and my heart skipped a beat. Then a low voice suddenly interrupted us.

“Forgive me, but tonight’s party is meant for the princes to mingle. Don’t you think you should refrain from such private matters?” I turned and Prince Seokjin was standing there. For a moment, his eyes lingered on me but then, his gaze returned to the other princes. As if I was of no special note. I see. Well, there are a lot of people here so it's not a surprise that he forgot me.

“I guess I should apologize for disrupting the evening but I was the one who invited her so, could you at least excuse me?” Prince Jimin bowed his head politely.

Then Prince Seokjin turned his back on him and sighed quietly, “If you’re going to go that far, then I don’t particularly care what you do. But, I would like you to avoid causing any more disruptions.” When he was done speaking, he headed back to the center of the dance floor and I heard someone clucking at us nearby.

“What a bore... “ I looked around and there was prince Jungkook who had so recently been the last introduced. Seeing him up close only confirmed my earlier impression that he was younger than I was, “Oh, sorry. I’ve just always thought that such gatherings as this are quite boring but I should not be showing my private feelings in public. If you’ll excuse me,” Prince Jungkook tossed the words behind him as he left.

As we watched him go, Prince Jimin laughed softly, “He never changes. Cute little Prince Jungkook.”

“But it’s okay if he’s a bit prickly. It’s quite cute on him.” Prince Hoseok stated. Cute…? Him??

As I harbored my own doubts in my mind, Prince Jimin and Prince Hoseok’s butler called out to them.

“Oh, it looks like we have to go.” Prince Jimin said, as he looked at the clock.

“Enjoy yourself, alright? I’ll see you later.” Prince Hoseok bid farewell.

“Y-yes. Thank you very much.”

Music slowly swelled and filled the room again from nowhere. In response to the music, couples started to form throughout the ballroom. A dance? I asked myself. It seemed as if there was a chance to dance with the princes as well, judging by the great hordes of women that were surrounding them once again.

Nice… but, well, it’s not really my thing. Maybe I should go hit up the food tables while everyone’s dancing. I began walking towards the tables where the food was laid out.

“Wanna dance?”

I turned around and standing before me was Jeon Jungkook.
