hyunjin, the crowned prince was looking to attend the royal ball. his family didn’t give him a choice. he would have to go even if he didn’t want to. hyunjin was honored to be prince, it was truly a dream. but people just didn’t know the truth.

hyunjin was still young after all, yet he had so much responsibilities and decisions to make. it was tiring.

dressed up in a suit with his black bow tie and hair slicked back, he entered the ballroom. there were many women trying to get his attention. but hyunjin didn’t even glance at them, the sight wasn’t pleasant, a bit ridiculous. everyone was swooning over him. hyunjin knew they only wanted him for his wealth and looks.

hyunjin went to get a drink, when he saw you, wearing an old brown dress with a white apron. you were just simply a maid for the royal family. nothing more. there was a spill on the floor, you were sent to clean it.

hyunjin instead approached you, forgetting about his thirst. he crouched down to you.

“do you need help with that?” he spoke softly. people were staring, disgusted that hyunjin was talking to you.
