❝  one of the new zealand politicians insisted i try this particular canapé. he said it was his favorite. ❞   slender digits had not yet picked up the food in question. the politician's demeanor had left much to be desired, inspiring little faith in his tastes, but taeha wore her courtesies like a second skin, and a rejection risked unnecessary irritation. a delay, however, could be excused given the number of attendees.  ❝  have you had the chance to sample it? ❞

doe  -  shaped  optics  are  stuck  on  the  brightness  of  her  iphone,  scanning  every  letter  on  twitter  feed  to  find  something  to  escape  this  hell  ⸺  the  world  needs  less  royals.  "  you  are  too  kind,  thank  you.  "  mouth  curls  into  kind  smile  -  half  performative  and  half  real.  "  my  international  password  is  indeed  quite  important,  you  never  know  when  we  get  to  leave  and  i  can  jetset  again.  "  words  tumble  out  too  quickly,  bitterness  laced  together.

only an idealistic would believe that all royals had come willingly to the program and possessed good intentions. ambition colored taeha's own goals but focus remained on what would most benefit the country. dark hues reflected the kindness thai royal offered.  ❝  hopefully they don't expect us to stay cooped up in the complex the entire time. ❞   a guaranteed way to irritate some, risking more conflict than cooperation. but they weren't here for parties.

    his   head   whipped   backwards   at   the   familiar   voice,   soft   smile   showing   on   his   face   at   the   recognition   of   the   girl   and   then   the   item   she   held   turned   it   into   a   chuckle.   “   would   you   believe   me   if   i   said   that's   actually   for   you   ?   ”   he'd   found   his   way   to   sprout   hous,   now   coming   back   with   a   couple   bags   of   groceries,   mostly   fruits   and   vegetables   he   had   no   idea   he'd   chosen   well   or   not   and   the   toilet   paper   seonhye   had   suggested   he'd   get   taeha   that   likely   had   fallen   from   one   of   those   bags   and   she   was   now   in   possession   of.   “   your   mother's   idea.   ”   he   felt   the   need   to   clarify.

a smile of her own blossomed before transforming into a curiosity. gaze wandered back to the object previously only glanced at, now recognized along with the gift's intention.  ❝  i wouldn't expect anyone outside our family to suggest toilet paper as a housewarming gift. thank you. ❞   a piece of tradition here was welcomed. homesickness quieted the more often she'd traveled for her duties but never vanished entirely. taeha held out her empty hand, gesturing toward some of the bags in aidin's hands.  ❝  i'll help you bring the rest of these back to your place. how are you and antoin settling in? no annoying neighbors, i hope. ❞

she sighs and it's followed by a small laugh. " typical of your father. and then he'll ring me later telling me you still haven't called him. " she shakes her head. " and you'll be fine emptying byeol's litter box on your own? " seohyun is fine with most tasks and chores, but the thought of dealing with animal waste disgusts her. " the filipino princess is here — isabel. befriending her might be a good idea. " she doesn't want to add too much pressure to her daughter, but she knows she's able to handle it. " and we will have to look to other countries to rely on if this issue with turkiye and bulgaria escalates. "

[inf1nities]

amusement on taeha's lips concealed the subtle sting of being unseen once again. an unnoticed phone call was a small matter but reflective of the dynamic between father and daughter. she brushed it aside.  ❝  oh . . . but i was planning to bring it by every few days with my laundry, ❞   she joked with a slight roll of her eyes.  ❝  i'll look for an opportunity to grab a meal with her. or something casual. ❞   taeha nodded.  ❝  we have a variety of options, each with their own advantages and risks. have any of the turkish or bulgarian royals communicated with you recently? ❞

❝  it can be deceptively tough, ❞   she agreed. pilates was a regular part of routine, at least two sessions a week if her schedule allowed, but she still found herself sore after each workout. even if today the movements weren't as advanced as the ones in her normal routines.  ❝  how about we reward ourselves with smoothies from one of the cafes? ❞

[inf1nities]

years of experience prevented eyes from rolling, polished expression maintained with a slight upward curl of lips. she'd expected dull political talks, having momentarily forgotten the equally bad, shallow dramatics certain royals delighted in.  ❝  his loss. you sound like you dodged a bullet. one castle and a clear inferiority complex. ❞   taeha took a small sip of her drink.

glimpsing down at her phone, nya tried to ignore the notifications that barraged through. she didn't want to think about work for the next few days, not to mention desperately needing some time off. only fair she made the most of any downtime offered. standing back, anticipating her name to be called at the local coffee shop, what she wasn't expecting was someone else to grasp the cup before she could. "excuse me," quipped nya, manicured finger extending towards the beverage, "i believe you have my drink."

[inf1nities]

attention mostly on the text she was reading, taeha blindly picked up the cup when her name was called, raising it to her lips without a thought. her nose scrunched when the bitter flavor disturbed her taste buds.  ❝  that would explain why this doesn't taste like green tea. ❞   apology first colored her visage, softening features, as she held out the drink to its proper owner.  ❝  i'm so sorry about that. i'll cover the replacement if they charge you for one. ❞

[sirenoire]

" i spent the afternoon making side dishes. " she places the two large tote bags onto the counter. " your father asked how you were doing — have you not given him a call yet? "

[inf1nities]

❝ i did before i started unpacking but got his voicemail. ❞   duty called, she assumed with no judgement.  ❝  settling in took a little longer than i anticipated. not for me, but byeol was nervous after the flight. ❞   taeha glanced over to where her cat was thankfully lounging in his bed rather than hiding in his carrier.

[inf1nities]

❝ wait! ❞   heels clicked faster against the floor. taeha had planned for a simple, solitary stroll around the area, getting a feel for her new residence, until dark hues had spotted the object tumbling to the ground. her hand was outstretched as she approached. lips curled upward, polite and warm.  ❝  you dropped this, and it looked fairly important. ❞

backstory.

born half an hour before her brother, yi taeha would've been the heir in another universe but patrilineal rule reigned over south korea. so it was her twin brother's arrival that was celebrated most, taeha relegated to a welcomed bonus. she could've faded into the shadows or fully embraced freedoms while leaving the expectations of the crown on her brother's shoulders, but taeha had never been meant for the shadows. an extremely bright woman, she excelled at most of her studies and on the occasions she did struggle, she worked hard until she mastered the subject - a mindset she maintained all her life.

many expected she would go to law school or obtain a master's degree so there was a murmur of surprise when instead taeha announced that she would instead start assisting the imperial family immediately after graduating from snu. in her eyes, spending another handful of years studying hypotheticals paled in comparison to the experience she'd garner actually working and helping the south korean people.

magnetic and warm but also clever, she blossomed in high society no matter what the event was. a charming princess. an adaptable diplomat. her dedication to her role and hard work garnered immense praise from those around her - except from the emperor. her father was far more focused on shaping taehyun into a future emperor than recognizing his daughter's achievements beyond the expected, scripted praises spoken publicly. it was unfortunate, therefore, that for each time taehyun stumbled, taeha succeeded elsewhere. on a few occasions, she even stepped in to clean up one of her brother's errors.

taeha's discontent was a slow growing flower and fed the ambition that had always lingered within, which had sometimes made her pause in front of the throne and imagine herself sitting there. she loved her brother, but the more she observed, the more she believed he was not fit to rule. south korea and its people would not thrive under his rule. but what was there to do? taeha was not one to sit and mope; it would change nothing.

all she could do was continue performing her duties to the very best of her abilities and quietly clean up whatever messes her brother made, and so that was what she did. focusing on what she could do for the country only drew more praise in her direction, showed the type of leader she was.

when the program was announced, taeha volunteered herself to represent south korea, viewing it as the best way to not only serve the country but also prove herself on the world stage. and maybe if she did, people back home might finally start speaking about change rather than only thinking it. or maybe she could garner enough allies to make them not only speak but demand a change in succession.

headcanons.

big people's princess vibes. the south korean public adore her; in part due to taeha going out of her way to to interact with them and actively involve herself in programs / charities that benefit the people.

taeha's social nature isn't always initially apparent since she can be very focused and proper when working, but it's never long before her charm emerges. she loves meeting new people, socializing, and attending events. many say that it's in social settings that she shines brights.

a part of her does still want her father's genuine approval , but she's also angry that he refuses to see the truth that is right in front of him.

can be kind of judgy at times but has an excellent poker face thanks to having to keep smiling while listening to the most boring noble or politician speak.

only shares her true thoughts and feelings with a very small group of friends who have earned her trust.

during college she spent a semester studying abroad in the united states at harvard.

she competed in swimming and archery over the years; the latter being her primary focus to the point that she represented south korea in the 2020 olympics and brought home gold. since becoming more involved in politics, she has stopped competing but still partakes in each sport for fun, to relax, and to clear her mind.

more tba !
