Her delicate arms wrapped around his waist to return the affectionate hug, Kate didn’t knew how much she wished to have somewhat of a younger brother to protect until she met young Jongin, and quite honestly, the prince was the loveliest person to have ever walked on Earth. It was almost impossible for one to not like Jongin after getting to know him pass the sheepish greeting of the well-mannered young prince. 

“I apologize for getting so caught up with my work.” The older was genuinely sorry for not being able to properly split her time between the hospital and the dear friends she held close to her heart no matter how hard she tried. Helping people with her medicine knowledge was at first only a way the petite woman found to make up for every horrible deed she performed for the adversary back to when she still inhabited the homelands, however it grew to be her biggest passion and she was completely devoted to it. “How have you been though, young Jongin? There is anything new I should catch up to?” The soft smile danced across her reddish lips, lighting up her pretty features as she let go of the younger male.

The witched raised an eyebrow at his playful gesture before poking his sides, attempting to slight tickle the taller male, once there was no way she would reach his hair to ruffle in the first place without leading to a major disaster. His response made her hazel colored eyes twinkle slightly with excitement in order to hide the slightly worry as she tried to convince herself that the dinner’s dish wasn’t all that bad. “You need to eat in regular bases, young Jongin-ah, doctor’s orders.” She pointed out to the chair close to the dinner table, gesturing him to sit. “I will be right back.”

Kate’s way to the kitchen was made in quick anxious steps, not quite the manner the red-haired was known to walk, but that was only so she could pick up the dinner and not give it a second gaze. She took a deep breath before living the kitchen with the supposedly Italian dish in hands, it didn’t looked like a picture out of a culinary magazine – far from that, actually – it was a burnt alien-shaped  and not so attractive-… thing, for lack of a better term to describe her newest masterpiece that could put any abstract painting to shame.

“It’s lasagna.” She explained before the younger had the chance to ask as she entered the living room again, or it should be, she thought. “Do you want me to cut a slice?”

[ftxjongin]

A slight chuckle escaped his lips as he tightly returned the hug and pulled the girl into his embrace. She was older than him, but she was so much tinier, and she fit so well whenever he pulled her into a hug. “It’s alright. I’ve been busy too. Kind of.” He raised a brow at his own words, trying to think of what he truly did that would have kept him occupied and couldn’t help but frown when he realized that he had done absolutely nothing productive ever since he had stepped on the odd land he was on right now. Quite upsetting, but the prince would find something to do. Maybe go out for an adventure, seek something new, something that wasn’t him just sitting in his home all day, flipping through the television, watching some boring mundane show. He kind of missed his personal entertainers and how much more amusing they were to observe.

A childish grin grew on his face as he heard her nickname for him. He wasn’t very young, but she insisted on calling him that just like she insisted on calling Kate, Katie. Mainly because it sounded sweeter and closer. Kate sounded too solid to him, and he needed something that flowed better with his tongue, and Katie did the trick. “I’ve been doing very well. To be honest, I haven’t done anything really. I want something exciting to do. Just teaching children how to dance. It’s quite a blast actually. You should try dancing one day. Oh, and I did meet this maiden, and she seemed quite familiar, but I couldn’t put my finger on who she was. Very familiar though. Like we’ve met in the past before. Have you ever had such an odd feeling before?”

He couldn’t help but wonder at what the lady was trying to do to him, and he merely let out a chuckle when he figured out her intentions. “Nice try, but I am not ticklish.” He poked her cheek playfully before laughing quietly to himself. He frowned, letting out a sigh. “I do eat frequently. I just sometimes get too tired to make anything for myself. It’s fine though. Skipping a meal or two won’t hurt me.” He pushed his chest out and put his hands on his hips, making a pose as if he was a sailor back at home, sailing on the seas with the storm at its highest peak. However, he was no sailor, and he was probably just making a fool out of himself. Letting off a nervous laugh he returned back to his normal posture, his laughter getting gradually louder as he was embarrassed. On instinct, his hands came up to cover up his burning face. “I don’t know why I just did that.”

Now, he knew that the girl wasn’t the best cook, heck, she wasn’t very good at all, but eating her meals never got him into trouble. It was bad, but it didn’t harm him so he didn’t see the point of telling her that it was bad instead of just eating it quietly and making the maiden feel better about herself. It was always nice to make others feel better, right? He couldn’t help but gulp at the plate set out in front of him as he tilted his head at the shape and color. He’s only heard of lasagna, and he’s seen some pictures of it, and he was definitely positive that it was not supposed to look like the thing in front of him. He bit down on his bottom lip, letting out a soft chuckle. “Of course I would, Katie.” He looked up to her with a giant smile on his face, one that was probably convincing enough.

She looked from the hamburger on the table to him, eyebrows forming an arch framing her face and a kind of what the actual fuck face. By the look on his face, he surely didn’t know what the options she had given him were, and then she remembered he was new. Of course she needed to explain things to him.

Soojung sighed quietly, switching all her weight to her right leg and leaning her head to rest her chin on a one of her hands. And then she noticed. Her heart had been slow so far – but when her eyes caught the glimpse of his smile, it started beating faster again and probably all the blood inside her body took an awkward and not usual route to color her cheeks with crimson. Soojung blinked twice, tilting her head until it was on its right place. “I…I…um.” Her mind went blank for one second, and even if she tried to speak, comprehensible words wouldn’t leave her mouth.

It took her a minute, staring at him and opening and closing her lips – what had made her looking like a complete idiot, without a doubt – before she finally managed to say something. “Do you know…what a Coke is?” And it was the best she could have said, still with a little of stuttering. “It…usually is what people ask when they have what you ordered…mister.”

After emphasizing the last word and the honorifics, and when the failure she called explanation was over, a pale hand was raised to rub at the woman’s brows. Her cheeks were no longer so warm or red, but her heartbeat wasn’t the most controlled and it was a new – she was good at controlling her nerves, her life at the palace taught her this and she was glad, but now it seemed all that time keeping quiet and controlled was enough and now over.

The mermaid needed to do something about this (preferably without the Bear King’s help) and the best she could think of was words she never thought in saying, but that came out easy out of her. “If you can stop smiling, it would be helpful.”

[ftxjongin]

The look on the maiden’s face was one of confusion so he guessed that he probably did something odd. It’s not like she didn’t know that he was new, he could tell by the roll of her eyes and the sigh that escaped her lips that she was pretty frustrated, and he could say that he was too. Wouldn’t he have loved to know everything so he wouldn’t look like the odd one out. But of course, he truly was the odd one out. I mean not everybody here was a prince.

He listened carefully to her words, nodding and smiling as he mentally slapped himself. Of course, that’s where he heard that drink from. “Is that so? I’ll just go with that then, miss.” He couldn’t help but raise a brow at her actions because he wasn’t sure what was truly bothering her, but she didn’t seem to be in a normal trance right now. Was she sick? Moments ago her face was red. Maybe she needed to rest. Maybe she was working too hard. A frown came upon his face for the first time since he had stepped into the place as he looked at the lady.

Her request shocked him. Stop smiling? He was merely trying to be friendly and a genuine smile always seemed to be the best way to give that impression. Was he doing something incorrectly or maybe his smile was too creepy? He’s actually heard that before from his father. That when he grinned just a tad bit too widely, it looked a bit odd and scary. He pursed his lips together in a fine line, tilting his head to the side as he looked up at the maiden.

Usually he would let it go and not question, but he was curious. The prince couldn’t let his curiosity to rest and probably never would be able to so he needed an answer from the lady. “I’m sorry but stop smiling?” And with that sentence came another smile upon his face, one of amusement as a soft laugh escaped his lips as well. “I’m sorry, Miss Soojung, but I don’t know if that’s quite possible.” The request seemed a bit silly to him, and he didn’t see the reason for him to oblige to it.

He leaned on his hand once more, his fingers tapping against the table as he stared intensely at the lady in front of him. Now he was slightly confused. “Do you not like it when I smile, Miss?” The question was a bit straight-forward, but he learned that straight-forward questions were the only way one received straight-forward answers, and that was exactly what he needed right now. 

[taeyevn-deactivated20140322]

  It’s been alright, Finding you out here has been the highlight of my day.. {/she smiled and looked down at the snow} How has yours been?

[ftxjongin]

Has it really? [ -- he frowns, looking down at the other girl. ] Well, I’m sorry to say Miss, but I’m not the most interesting person around so making me your highlight of the day would be awfully incorrect. I’m sure something good must have happened today. [ -- he thinks for a moment back to his own day. ] I could say the same, however, that you have been my highlight of the day. I haven’t had the opportunity to do much, and I was just hoping to look around and explore the city.

The vegetarian inside the mermaid cringes at his pick – as if she hasn’t seen this order thousands of times, but this guy was this guy and the reason of the butterflies on her stomach and of course it would be different – but she manages to mask that with a short nod. 

Her attention switched from the spot on his shirt when he started moving on his hair and then her eyes fell on his lips. They were plump and probably soft—Soojung shook her head quickly, gulping as she looked down at the notebook and scribbled something in Danish, nothing important, useless words while she could only feel her lips burning to meet his.

“Sure.” A groan leaves her lips along with the answer, and she doesn’t even look twice to him before walking away from the table. So she could breathe finally, away from him and the table and his lips and everything else that made her feel as if she was underwater again – Soojung couldn’t be feeling more than a silly teenager or one of her co-workers, whom were probably jealous she got to serve him first.

Soojung enjoys her time away from his table and his smiles well – she rubs her eyes and manages to almost take a nap, actually; if only her mind could turn off and her body could relax as she leaned against the wall of the kitchen. “Shoot.” She mumbles, opening her eyes when her name and his table’s number is called, and she has to come back to take the order.

Hoping he’d at least know what the food really was – he did seem to be new, who knows? – she walks back to his table, steps hard and slow as if she was walking to her death sentence; though her heart seemed to want to jump out of its cavity.

The red-haired girl smiles politely at the damned costumer as she sets down the plates, just then noticing she had forgotten about an important detail and oh—.“I forgot what you’ll drink. Is it coffee? Coke? Water? I’m sorry I’m nervous.” She apologies, gaze down on the table once again, because he has this air of royalty and royal fables aren’t easy to deal with. And she’d rather to die and become foam before being fired just because of him.

[ftxjongin]

One couldn’t blame him for staring so strongly at the girl. He never intended much, but he had always heard that his stare could kill because when he did pay attention to something so fiercely, nothing else caught his eyes. That was exactly what was happening now as he couldn’t really see anything around him, but the lady in front of him. The prince was still trying to get his finger on who she could be. Definitely a fable, that was something he knew for a while now, but why did she seem so familiar. Could they have possibly met back in his homeland?

As he stared at her, he couldn’t help but notice that she too was looking quite attentively at him. He followed her gaze to where they could possibly be staring at because for sure she wasn’t meeting his eyes. He raised a brow at her sudden actions, the head shaking and the gulping which he caught with his bright eyes, and although he would have loved to know what she was thinking that made her act in such ways, it’s not like he could ask her so he instead decided to shrug it off.

The maiden was acting a bit oddly in his opinion, but he was never the one to judge others on first appearance. The groan that escaped her lips slightly surprised him, however, making him think that maybe he did something to upset her. Was it something he said or was it his actions? He probably came off a bit cocky when in reality he truly wasn’t. Quite the opposite is what he heard from people. He watched her walk away, his eyes never failing to leave her.

Even when she was far away, he couldn’t help but stare. Now he would really look like a creep, but he had ordered so they couldn’t kick him out, could they? Then unexpectedly, she started walking back towards his direction with his food in her hands. He quietly thanked her along with a wide smile. He hadn’t noticed anything until she had spoken up. “Oh, right. Drink.” He thought for a moment, thinking what could possibly be the right thing to drink with his meal. “I’ll just take water, please.” He wasn’t too familiar with the other choices so he decided that playing safe would be the best.

He looked up at her and gave her a gentleman-like smile, the ones he would give to those that attended his balls back at the palace. One that could possibly change her mind on who he really was because he was pretty sure that he did not give off the best impression to her.

It didn’t took much for one to find out that a bored Kate was never a good Kate, especially when there was something around challenging enough to entertain her. The universe already said that if something was wrong, it was bound to get worst and in the most terrible way! Perhaps that was the explanation to why all of the windows and doors of the doctor’s apartment were spread wide open and the said fable was leaning against the woodened door with somewhat of an anxious look on her hazel doll-like eyes.

Thankfully all the smoke that came from her masterpiece had already left her place without the help of the fire department or from any of her neighbors, in fact, not even if she urged for emergency help there wouldn’t be someone in her floor to help her once young Jongin still haven’t came back from his classes.

That boy probably deserved a trophy or at least a medal for putting up with her without going mental, but then again, it was rare the times she had to spend putting on antics over her own apartment with her life being almost to complete dedicated to her work.

Her smile grew sweet at the sight of the tall male coming out of the elevator, waving her hands in an almost childish manner Kate placed herself on the very tip of her toes to be sure the prince would spot her there. “Welcome home, young Jongin!” She greeted him before gesturing for him to follow her inside the apartment. “It’s been a while since I caught you around, so I made dinner for you! “ She stated as she closed the door behind them. “Make yourself at home, I hope you’re hungry.”

[ftxjongin]

When he first received the call from Kate – or Katie as he preferred to call her – he was ecstatic. To be quite honest, the prince was feeling a bit bored with nothing to do, but he was awfully too lazy to go out and maybe look for an adventure. Having not been too familiar with the coldness around him, it made it harder for him to get a motivation to go outside and explore. Oh how he missed the sand beneath his feet that seeped in between his toes and the bright sun that woke him up every morning. He always did do better in warmth.

Anyway, the lady was a savior for him that day when he was so desperate that he thought of maybe sleeping the day through, hoping to get more motivation the next day. It seemed that he had reached his destination, but the prince was a bit puzzled. There were many people outside of the building and oh dear, was that smoke he saw? Had something happened? With a worried expression on his face he made his way into the building and up to the floor where Katie lived.

As soon as the elevator door opened, he was approached by the lady that he had come to meet as well as her bright smile. He couldn’t help but return the same wide smile as he enveloped her into his arms, squeezing her a bit. “Hello to you too, Katie. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” He looked down upon her as she was much smaller than her was and couldn’t help but lightly ruffle her hair. He had missed the company of the other girl who was probably the only fable that he had truly befriended during his time in the new world.

He stepped inside her apartment with her welcome, his nose scrunching up a little at the smell. “Oh, I am hungry. I hope you have something good for me.” To be honest, he was quite aware of the other’s cooking skills and how she was not the best, but he never had the heart to tell her so he kept it in and ate anything that she gave him. Some may find it foolish, but how would one being so harsh on someone who was always so bright and happy, satisfied with her own work?

It wasn’t often that the prince had seen such a beautiful scene like the one before hi m right this moment. Apparently this happened every year for the fables around here, and he simply stood in the middle of everything in awe as he had never seen anything as wonderful as the view in front of him. The flickering lights and the floating lanterns filled the sky and lit it up to be brighter than ever. It was a scene that he hoped would stay in his memories forever until the next year. This scene would keep his year bright and filled with happiness.

He stared at the lanterns in his hand – one white and one red. He had heard what each stood for, but he couldn’t think of a wish and regret so simply. The boy had by far too many wishes that he hoped to fulfill. There was always the wish of wanting to return back to his palace and find his fair maiden. To be reunited with his loyal subjects and all the lovely people that he had grown up with. There were simply way too many. The prince’s mind was filled with wants and desires that it would take an awful long time for him to think of simply one.

Then there were the regrets. What did the boy regret in his past year? Just like the wishes, there were simply just too much. Just when he heard the word, a handful of memories  just from this year flashed past his mind. Closing his eyes, the boy was in deep thought on what to write. The number one thing that he desired the most for the new year, what could it be? The one thing that he deeply regretted, hoped that he would never have done, what could that possibly be? Would other be in such deep thoughts like himself or was he just foolish? The numerous questions popped up in his head.

Looking down, he could see the snow that had covered the ground. It was such a pure white, one that he had never seen before. It never really snowed where he was from. The place was always so sunny and the green, green grass was what covered the ground. Nothing like the white he was currently standing in. Maybe it wasn’t too bad where he was right now. Shaking his head, he realized that he had gone off topic.

Taking one big breath, the prince slowly started to write down his wish and regret. Having to pick one was of great difficulty, but he managed to do so. With a grant smile smeared across his face, he watched as they flew away into the sky. Some feeling of pride filled him when he watched his own lights join the ones in the sky.

What did the young prince write? What did he wish for? What did he regret? Written neatly on the paper attached to the red lantern was: happiness. Cliche, maybe so, but it really was what everybody would wish for, no? He didn’t want anything materialistic, although finding his fair maiden was one thing that he desired much, he believed that finding her would be his happiness. It fit. As for the white lantern: never thanking people enough. Having to live without all those that have surrounded him and filled his life with luxuries was difficult, and it made him realize how much of a fool he was.

Maybe the new year would be better. Hopefully.

Another laugh was heard and resounded softly, but made her insides feel as they were being tugged out of her body. There was no way possible Soojung could stop herself from glaring to him – even if he was a costumer, and she would for sure be reprimanded for anything done to him later – but she tried her best to be discreet. 

She had been told before her serious face was good, convincible enough to make people walk away from her without even hearing her voice. How many times her Father tried to make her play more so her “thought in process” face would be replaced by a smile so she wouldn’t be hated? Truth is, she couldn’t remember exactly how many times, but if it worked in the past, it should be able to do so as well now.

Her hopes were miserably crushed when he leaned on the table. It was a sign he wouldn’t move so soon – she knew it well because herself had done that so many times on boring and long classes – and this move of his should have made her go crazy at once, but hopefully, she managed to hold herself this time and not start pushing him away or cleaning his face and the table again.

And now, instead of doing so, she pursed her lips. He was obviously a fable – and she didn’t even notice his aura, and just because of her feverish feelings or something else she could barely understand. To make it even worse, he was a new one – other thing she should have noticed.

There was a protocol she came up with when the first new comer appeared in front of her – it was a female, confused and hungry. No one had the patience to deal with her endless questions, but of course, Soojung was told to deal with it and she did it on the best way she could, and the girl and her are still friends.

But she wasn’t willing to spend even one more second around this guy if it meant flushed cheeks and grumbling stomach every time he said her name. Much less be his friend. “Everything’s good, mister.” She replied shortly, sigh leaving her lips as she crossed her lips over her chest and she looked at the notebook.

Her lips curled in a pout, and she switched them side to side for one minute before glancing at him – his shoulder, actually – once again. “But since it’s your first time here, I guess you should try the spinach and cheese balls, or the saucy meatballs. Our burger and fries are good too, if you prefer.”

[ftxjongin]

The look that was piercing out from the lady’s eyes were definitely not the most soothing, but he could not help from being amused at her reaction. He couldn’t say that he had never encountered such a reaction before having been a prince back at his palace, but it could also be said that he never got sick of it. Additionally, the maiden was attractive, and she reminded him of a certain someone. He was certain they have met before, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. Or maybe he was just mistaking her for someone else – something he’s done before in the past that very much put him into so much trouble that he doesn’t want to bother remembering anymore.

From the look of her eyes, he could tell that she was observing him. Seeing that aura from the girl, he could tell that she was a fable which meant she could tell that he was one as well. Blame it on him for sticking inside his house these days and not exploring because of the cold weather he was not used to, but he hadn’t had the chance to meet other fables although they must live around him. He would take the chance one day and maybe befriend some others. Who knows? Maybe he can actually make some friends for a chance and not just people who pretend to like him for his status. The others wouldn’t know exactly who he was. That could make things easier or harder, depending on the person.

He listened closely to her suggestions and gave them a thought. There were some options that he wasn’t too sure about so he decided on a safe choice. Leaning back onto the chair and crossing his legs, he bit down on his bottom lip, a habit of his, as he went through his choices once again. “I think the burgers and fries would be nice.” He gave her a refreshing smile along with a soft laugh, one that wasn’t as teasing as the ones before and instead just a simple, genuine smile.

It was kind of sad when people mistook his manners in a different light, thinking that he was trying to “flirt” – a word he thought was absolutely stupid – when in reality, that’s just how he was raised. He could hear his father’s words still ringing in his head. “You’ve got to treat everybody with respect whether they be the elderly who have helped bring this palace to where it is now, or the young children who brighten up the town with their bright laughter.” He still remembers the weird looks he received when he treated a child with respect. People here thought that it was strange when he thought it was just a definite thing to do.

Her head felt so heavy, and her hands burned even if she was pretty sure she hadn’t touched anything spicy in a while – or maybe what was burning was the pen between her palms? Any ways, something kept her hands a little sweaty. When was the last time she felt like this? Probably never.

Soojung’s eyes slowly closed when she heard a laugh though – it was brief, but she was close enough to catch the sound coming from the male’s lips. Why was she acting like this all of sudden? Was her body betraying her and turning her into a high school mundane girl? And that was just his laugh. All her body seemed to tingle, not just her hands, when he spoke and that was when she lost all rest of sanity probably left from her.

“Not while this is so dirty, God damn it!” She heard herself shouting, and one of her hands went down to her apron’s pocket while the other suddenly dropped the small notebook on his table, just before she could reach forward and start wiping the so said dirty table.

She took her while doing so, one minute and twenty three seconds – she knows because she actually was counting mentally – before the clothe was throw back on her pocket and the notebook was once again between her now – finally and happily – dried hands.

When all this lunacy was done, and she was sure he would think she was completely insane and hopefully would get out of there in that right instant, the waitress lifted her head to let her eyes meet his. Oh, how she wished she hadn’t done that, because now she was back to the square one and her cheeks were as red as or probably redder than when she first approached him.

But there were no other crazy tricks on her sleeve - and she was the waitress after all – so everything the poor mermaid could do was suck it up and take a deep breath, purse her lips and switch her gaze to somewhere else before she started speaking her usual lines in a monotone tone and fast speed that wasn’t quite hers.

“Hello, welcome to Foam Bubbles! I’m Soojung and I am your waitress today—may I take your order?”

[ftxjongin]

There wasn’t much the male could do as he watched the female in front of him simply stand there with her eyes glued to the floor. A brow raised in amusement as well as confusion. Did he do something? Were his words a little too un-gentleman like? He knew he should have acted with caution because the last thing he wanted to do was making a lady feel upset. A fair maiden she is as well. A familiar one, but that was one of the last things on his mind right now.

With his lips pursed he attempted to meet the gaze of the lady, contemplating whether he should speak first to bring her eyes to his or if he should do what he had seen other male mundanes do to their ladies – poke his head in the direction of her gaze, hoping to catch her attention. He deemed the second one completely inappropriate and opened his mouth to speak when the maiden spoke first. Words that he found to be of such that he didn’t think he would hear come from the other’s mouth. They weren’t profane, no not at all, just a bit odd. He hadn’t even noticed that the table that he had seated himself on was dirty. It seemed just fine to his eyes. An amused chuckle escaped his lips once again, and he attempted once more to cover it up with a cough, but he couldn’t help a laugh to slip at her actions.

While others would look upon the lady before him with odd eyes, wondering why a fair maiden like herself would be acting in such ways, but he’s come upon unique people before, and he could say that the one in front of him was simply – what do the mundanes say? – ah, cute. Although he tried not to think of it in such a way, maybe it was his charming looks that was getting the maiden flustered as it did happen a lot back in the palace. That’s how he got people attracted to him in the first place. Like his now passed wife and the lovely maiden in whom he was in search for. Who says it wouldn’t work with people here?

A look of worry passed his face at how flushed the lady seemed to be, and he was about to speak up about the issue, hoping to ask her if she was feeling well when he was interrupted once again, but this time with the words that he would have expected would have slipped from her lips the moment she saw him. “Ah. Well, I’m kind of new around here so I was wondering if you would recommend me something.” He leaned against the table, putting a hand up to his chin and leaning against it. “What’s good here, Soojung?” 

[taeyevn-deactivated20140322]

Really? Are you not from here? {/she watched the man stand up, her smile soon faded as she realized how tall he was} Oh you’re taller than I thought.. {/she blinked not meaning to say what she did out loud bust it didn’t matter. She puffed her cheeks slightly as she looked the man up and down} Hm.. Anyway I’m Taeyeon..

[ftxjongin]

Let’s just say that where I come from doesn’t have much of this. [ -- he crouches back down and picks up a hand full of snow before letting it fall between his fingers like what would happen with sand. it didn’t look as beautiful because it fell in clumps, but he still enjoyed the view. ] And you, miss, are a bit shorter than what I observed when I was on the ground. [ -- a soft chuckle emitted from his lips at the lady’s comment, finding it quite amusing. ] Ah, looks like I have forgotten to introduce myself first like a gentleman should have. It’s nice to meet you, Taeyeon. I’m Jongin. [ -- he takes the girl’s hand and plants a soft kiss on it, giving her a wide smile afterwards. ]

迎 — {` being that he was the type of male to get startled from just about anything that occurred so suddenly at a moment where he would have least expected it, his shoulders flinched slightly, as a aroused expression had been drawn upon his features, though it was quickly replaced with a foolish, yet embarrassed grin once the stranger had spoken up.} There’s no need to apologize for something like that. It was supposedly something that I could be held at fault for—seeing as to I approached you out of the blue. Sorry. {` he too, had dipped down to bow as an apology towards the male, lips pressing together to surpass a forced chuckle that wanted to slip by.}

[ -- a hand came up in defense as he let out a foolish laugh that sounded a bit unlike himself as he shok his head along with the hand. ] Oh no, sir, it’s basically my fault for not being aware of my surroundings. Not the fault of a kind man who simply approached me. [ -- his lips pursed together as he stared at the man in front of him in curiosity. he hasn’t interacted with many mundanes so far, and it was making him oddly nervous. ] Oh, where are my manners? [ -- he blew some warm air into his hands to make sure they were not of cold temperature before offering it to the gentleman in front of him. ] I’m—[ -- he had to think for a moment before he introduced himself, thinking twice so he does not make a mistake. ] Jongin.

迎 — {` due to the current climate change, winter frost lingered on his lips, sculpting bits of the powdered substance to pile upon his colored locks as he aimlessly wandered through the metropolis, seeing as to a male who seemed to have been younger then him was enjoying himself, he chuckled at the kiddish-appearance that was painted on his features—perhaps he wasn’t someone whom was used to seeing such a thing.} It is beautiful, isn’t it?

[ftxjongin]

[ -- the sudden voice that sounded from behind him caused him to stand up immediately, a little startled from the unexpected appearance of an unknown male. when he saw that the gentleman seemed to be harmless he let out a breath of relief, an embarrassed smile appearing on his face as his hand came up to rub at the back of his neck. ] It really is. I apologize for the sudden jump as it may have startled you as well, sir. [ -- he bowed in apology before letting out a stifled chuckle under his breath. ]

{/she was out for a walk, the snow had just fallen the night before and looked lovely. It was fresh and sparkling. She noticed a man admiring it, as if he had never seen snow before. She walked over and stood next to him} It is, isn’t it. {/she flashed him a smile}

[ftxjongin]

[ -- he can't help but jump a little at the sudden voice that is beside him, looking up from his position crouched down on the floor. ] Ah, hello there. [ -- an embarrassed laugh escaped his lips as he didn't think anybody would have overheard the thoughts that he had spoken out loud. ] It quite is actually. I've never really seen much of it before. [ -- he stands up, brushing his hands on his pants before looking at the lady beside him. he hadn't realized it until he stood up, but the maiden was quite small, a lot smaller than him, causing a chuckle to emit from his throat. ]

bxesuji said: She grins, nodding her head. “What a beautiful name you have, Jongin.” she chuckled to herself softly. “How was your day?”

He let out a laugh at the compliment as it was quite new. He's never heard someone call his name beautiful, maybe it was because he hasn't had the said name for a long period of time, but the new comment made him feel good about himself. "As for you, miss. My day?" He thought for a moment, letting out an airy sigh -- not one from disappointment or frustration -- it was simply a habit of his. "It's been dashing today actually. Maybe except for the fact that I did not achieve as many hours of sleep as I would have wished, but other than everything has been good. And as for you, miss? I hope it's been swell."

[ -- looking around, the prince couldn't help but let out a smile at the weather. there was a thin blanket of pure, white snow on the ground and how it remained untouched looking completely new simply fascinated him. back where he was from, it was quite rare to see snow as it was mostly sunny and warm. he reached a hand out to touch the delicate blanket on the floor, letting out a soft chuckle from the touch. ] This is beautiful.
