escape the night
searching for @cwnyunseo in the garden
if there was one person hyunsu wished to dance with it was yunseo. surely the masquerade was fun without the lovely knight— as fun as it could be without him by hyunsu’s side. the prince wasn’t into such events. no matter how much the kingdoms embellished the balls with promises of pretty people dressed in couture and several glasses of wine, hyunsu saw it as it was: an excuse to talk politics. the mask he wore was no match for the curious eyes of the attendees. every time he went to ask someone for a dance he was bombarded with questions about his status and kingdom. he wasn’t even safe by the sidelines, where he could enjoy a nice selection of hors d'oeuvres, because they’d come running to poke and prod the prince until they gave him answers.
hyunsu loved his title, in fact, there wasn’t a time he left it out of a conversation! but this . . . was it really necessary? did they have to make him regret ever mentioning that he was anyone but the man of their dreams? to be honest, hyunsu wasn’t even sure if he even wanted to be associated with them. all he wanted was his knight. where the hell was he?
he had to escape to the garden before it was too late. if one more person marched towards him in order to perform their own interrogation hyunsu might have lost it. a little alone time wouldn’t be so bad— except hyunsu was really wishing that yunseo would pop out from behind him with his usual cheery self. though, wishing on stars was getting the prince nowhere because, no matter how hard he begged the brightest star, the knight was still nowhere in sight. great. now he was bored, lonely, and a little bit chilly. what a perfect night this was. at this point, the prince was ready to be escorted to his temporary room in the palace, but then it happened. he finally appeared.
poor knight. to be outside alone on such a night was a crime in hyunsu’s eyes, and yunseo was the undeserving victim of it. and although this was yunseo’s job, hyunsu just knew he had to step in, for both his and yunseo’s sake. how was he going to tear the morally just knight from his post? well, the first step was getting his attention. carefully, the prince snuck up behind yunseo and blinded the knight with his two hands. “guess who!” hyunsu whispered in his ear, “i’ll give you a hint: it’s your favorite prince.”
clean slate.
with @cwnhyunsu location: the secret costume party in the spades palace
jiae finds herself standing behind one of refreshments table not too long after the secret costume party begins, and it's not just because there is an array of sweet treats that are calling to her for a taste. it’s this stupid costume’s fault. there isn't much she can do to cover herself up, but at least the table keeps the lower half of her body hidden out of sight.
but, okay, maybe the food is the main reason she decided to stay here for a while instead of mingling with the other secret party-goers. after a couple bites of a few different snacks, jiae has begrudgingly realized that the spades palace chefs are better than the ones in the hearts palace. they know how to combine flavours and various textures to create a perfect harmony in a way that the hearts chefs could only dream of achieving.
(they're still not better than jiae herself).
it is getting a little lonely, though—hovering around the food all by herself. she feels too uncomfortable in this costume to drift into the middle of the room like she always does at parties, but jiae is literally itching to talk to someone right now. she all but pounces on the next guest who approaches the table, hoping to squeeze in at least some social interaction tonight.
"the prosciutto tastes really good with the brie," jiae offers her advice to the stranger eyeing the charcuterie board beside her, before taking a bite of a particularly delectable red velvet cupcake. he doesn’t need to know that her recommendation is only to keep him (and others) away from her personal favourites. “the chorizo with the goat cheese is also a good combination, if you’re into that. don’t ask how i know. it’s kind of embarrassing.”
fever dream.
with @cwnmirae location: spades palace, on the night of the royal masquerade ball
after a night of dancing, jiae is exhausted. don't get her wrong; she loves attending royal balls, dressing up and chatting with others. she thrives in these kinds of events. but at some point, her feet start aching from dancing in heels. and when the clock shows her its well into the night (or the early morning, technically), she just wants to sleep in a soft bed, so she's eternally grateful that the spades kingdom had provided extra rooms for guests to stay overnight.
she leaves the royal masquerade in a flurry of laughter and smiles, bidding farewell to the people she was talking to earlier. jiae likes to think she knows her way around the spades palace fairly well after years of royal visits, though not nearly as well as she knows the hearts palace. but for some reason, the hallways feel longer than they did on her way to the ball. it's probably because of how tired she is.
jiae finds her room eventually, stepping into the unfamiliar space. she doesn't even bother to turn the lights on or change out of her gown before heading straight for the bed. slipping out of her heels, jiae flops back onto the bed, fully prepared to fall asleep right away. she rolls onto her side, only to scream when, in the darkness, she finds another body laying in her bed right beside her.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
