A/N: So I decided I will be doing them individually, I know that it may seem weird, but for me it will be easier in terms of writing. I think posting my last story actually helped because I was able to finish another request that I will be posting shortly after this! I hope the anon that requested this likes it, I know a lot of people who do the Royal/Prince!Au’s don’t write it like this, but I thought this would be a good way!
Prince Jaebeom is very mature, sophisticated, and respectful.
He never really cared for materialistic items, even though he could have had anything his heart desired.
The only thing he asks for is plants, he only asks his mother for them though.
When he was younger, he was out in the garden with his mother, helping her take care of the flowers and other plants, frolicking here and there.
He loved helping his mother, he loved the aroma of the flowers, the colors, the aesthetic of how they all looked together.
One of the knights started mocking him for doing such a ’girly’ thing.
”Why are you out here doing a woman's work? Imagine what your father thinks! How embarrassing.”
Jaebeom lost his smile and looked down, The Queen stood from the flowers she was in the middle of planting, stepped in front of the cruel knight, shielding Jaebeom from his words.
The Queen, an exceptionally soft and passive woman, actually slapped the knight.
She yelled at him about how he was just a kid, and it's not his place to tell him what he should be doing.
The knight was shocked and immediately felt guilty, (The knight is still very remorseful to this day, but he matured and started acting nicer towards others after that.) he apologized to Jaebeom and asked for his forgiveness.
Jaebeom accepted his apology and forgave him, but because of that, he doesn't tell anyone about his love for plants; except for you.
His father was a remarkable man, he taught Jaebeom how to talk and act as a true King would.
His mother taught him how to be respectful, that everyone should be looked at as equals.
”My darling son, would you ever want to be as if you were nothing but a rat? No? Then why would you treat your people like that?”
Jaebeom could never even dream of treating someone like that.
His mother also taught him how to be a perfect gentleman, how to cherish and make a woman feel adored, and made sure he knew he was to never neglect her.
He likes to walk around the Kingdom, mostly the market because that's where he met you.
When people bowed to Jaebeom in the market, he shook his hand at them with a smile.
”There’s no need for that, I am just another person, like you.”
You were a florist, selling flowers and succulents that you grew and took care of yourself, he always stopped and complimented your flowers when he was in the market.
He thought you were so beautiful, your smile made him smile, he often got lost in your eyes.
He would hang around your stand just to have a conversation with you, he slowly fell deeply in love with you as you did with him.
His mother immediately knew he had fallen in love, the look in Jaebeom’s eyes as he talked about the florist from the market was a dead giveaway. Both the King and Queen encouraged him to follow his heart, reminding him there were no laws saying the Prince had to marry someone royal.
Jaebeom was nervous as he walked up to your stand, you were packing up your plants as the day was near its end. He asked if you would like to accompany him to dinner at the palace the next night, you look at him with shock but quickly shake it off. You accept his invitation but then stop mid-sentence, you look down at your clothes and remember you have nothing remotely close to elegant to wear.
Jaebeom immediately knew what you were thinking, before you can utter another word, he cuts you off and reassures you.
”Nonsense, I don't care about what you’ll wear, I would just have the pleasure of being in your presence.”
The dinner was marvelous, you’ve never had such exquisite food before. The two of you talked and laughed almost all night long, luckily you didn't have to put your stand up the next day. It felt like no time had passed before you sat with him in the garden, fireflies flickering everywhere, he trusted you enough to show you his plants and you loved that.
He waved his guards off before grabbing his garden cutters, he snipped a flower from his favorite bush, he brushed your hair behind your ear before placing the flower there. The night sky illuminating your skins as you both leaned in, lips touching, sparks flying as you shared your first kiss together.
His mother was the first to know that he was going to ask you to marry him, she let a few tear of joy slip onto her cheeks, and again when he showed her the ring. You were in the exact same spot as you had your first kiss in when he asked for your hand in marriage. The King and Queen absolutely loved you, they knew you made their son happy, and what more could they ask for?
