okAY SUNGHOON BOYFRIEND LETS GO !!!!!
at the beginning of the relationship he doesn’t like showing his vulnerable side
he would be scared that you would leave him for another guy (who tf would do that tho... not me thats for fucking sure)
you knew better than to force his emotions so you let him know that you are there for him in little ways
like giving him more affection when you know he is sad
or like you just hug him
slowly but surely he opens up to u
when he finally tells you what he is thinking and what he feels that is holding him back you comfort him
this is when he knows that he is in loVE with you
doesn’t really like pda
but makes sure to give you enough kisses to last a lifetime
most pda thing is most likely hugging or holding hands
but he definitely gives forehead kisses
even if its just a little bit of affection ,,, he be blushing hard
you have a big effect on his heart
... literally
he is really whipped for you
he is your #1 fan
shows you off any chance he gets
he’d be the baby of the relationship
becomes very happy when you kiss him
likes to act tough when he kills a bug
but inside he is screAMING
disinfects his hands like 20 times
uhmmmm
when he is doing promotions or a schedule he would check up on you
makes sure you ate and slept well
he tries to text you cute lil morning texts every time he has the chance
leaves small gifts for you but never tell you that its from him
definitely the type to bake cookies with you
(even if you didn’t need his help)
he just likes being around you
he is definitely teaching you figure skating
you enjoy it bc sunghoon would be smiley the whole time
literALLY LOOKS LIKE AN ANGEL ON ICE
other people at the rink admire him
you hold onto the side of the rink the whole time
sunghoon calmly teaches you
just imagine that scene where he helps heeseung and jungwon
thats how careful he is with you
very patient
like imagine being one of those cute couples at ice skating rinks
thats you guys
you are also crushing his hand
“i swear to god if i fall we are breaking up”
“you won’t y/n... you are literally holding onto the wall, you are not gonna go anywhere but go straight”
eventually you get the hang of it
by that i mean you aren’t as close to the wall but it is within a hands reach
writes you sappy love letters as a joke
lowkey deep down he is serious
let’s you wear his clothes 100%
when you cuddle with him
he likes touching or running his fingers through your hair
he tries to learn how braid so he can braid your hair when you’re asleep
waking up to sunghoon is like waking up to a god
sunghoon bED HAIR
so fluffly
likes being the little spoon sometimes
only when he feels like you haven’t seen each other in a long time
which is impossible because he can’t last that long without you
would be so protective over you
but like not to the point where you can’t do anything
gets insecure when other guys look at you
you notice and give him more attention
you would reassure him that he is the only man you want
he would never cheat ,,, like ever
would let you know that you changed him
for the good obvi
but never tells anyone else
even though it is really noticeable to the members

Warning: small mentions of blood, one suggestive(?) comment
Genre: Vampire!au, tiny bit of angst
————————————————————
“Brave of you to venture here.”
You jumped at the voice and looked around the forest for the source, but there was nothing. All you can see is the towering trees blocking out any light from the sky, though there wasn’t much light to begin with, for the sun do not shine in Lamia. No wonder vampires thrive so much here, you thought. In the distance you can hear the crows cawing, and a slight breeze passed by, raising the hairs on the back of your neck.
A low chuckle resonated through the trees. “I must say, you do seem to have some courage within you compared to the other mortals I met.”
“Show yourself,” you demanded. “If you want to talk, we might as well do it face to face.”
“As you wish.” A figure materialized out of the hazy mist in front of you. A tall boy leaned casually against a gnarled tree, looking at you curiously with a small smile on his face. He was dressed like a regular human, wearing ripped jeans and a loose black t-shirt, but you knew he was definitely not a mortal. It was his eyes who gave him away—they were wine-red, with golden hues. You inhaled sharply as you realized what that meant.
“What, surprised to see a vampire?” the boy lazily tapped his fingers together. “You are in one of the vampire lands after all.”
“It’s...my first time seeing one,” you mumbled. You knew you were bound to encounter one eventually, and that they might even be the reason behind your brother’s disappearance, but it was a shock to see one for the first time. For some reason, you felt attracted to the one in front of you. Something about him felt familiar, strangely enticing. “What’s your name?” You asked, trying to sound more confident.
His smile turned into a smirk. “K. You’re always calling me by my nickname, Y/N, how can you forget that?”
A shiver ran down your spine, and you stepped back. “How do you know my name?”
“It’s been 10,000 years, and you still haven’t changed.” K stepped closer to you, looking at you with almost a sadness in his eyes. “I found you after all these years, and you forgot everything. Don’t you remember anything about me?”
You tore your eyes away from his red eyes that bore into your soul. Heart thumping frantically, you said, “Don’t come any closer. I don’t know you.”
“Y/N!” Your eyes widened, hearing Geonu’s voice. K seemed to have heard it too, and you turned to see him disappear in a cloud of mist.
“Yah, Y/N, don’t go wandering off again,” Geonu grumbled as he came into view. “At least tell me you’re going to go into the forest.” He stopped in front of you, and waved a hand in front of your face. “Y/N? You there?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah...hey,” you said absentmindedly, still thinking of your encounter with K.
Geonu frowned. “Are you ok? Did something happen?”
“No, nothing,” you forced a smile. “Let’s go back to the tent. We’ll continue searching tomorrow, it’s late.”
Geonu nodded, still not convinced with your answer. “Alright then.”
——————————————————————————————
The howling started that night.
You just couldn’t fall asleep. Every time you close your eyes, you see K’s eyes again, and the conversation replay in your head. A million questions swirled around your mind. How did he know you? What happened between you two 10,000 years ago? What is this weird feeling you always get around him?
After tossing and turning for an hour, you decided to get some fresh air. Carefully stepping over the sleeping bag where Geonu lay, snoring, you opened the tent flap and stepped into the night.
The moon shines its icy-white light upon you, and you felt comforted in its glow. The small clearing that you and Geonu had made your camp in was bathed entirely in moonlight. It was at the edge of the forest, close to the border between your homeland and Lamia, and if your strain your eyes, you can see small houses in the distance. A small pang of nostalgia filled you, but it was too late to go back. You have to find your brother, even if it takes searching every bit of Lamia.
You stretched your arms above your head and was about to head back into the tent when your eyes caught on something dark on the ground. Narrowing your eyes, you crept closer to the forest, eyes widening when you realize what it is.
A trail of blood littered the ground. Judging from the color, it was there pretty recently, though neither you or Geonu had notice anything out of ordinary this morning. Someone’s been murdered and dragged into the forest....while we were sleeping, you suddenly thought, noticing how the drops of blood was scattered haphazardly all around, and the ground around it was matted and bent in a certain direction. Impulsively, you started following the trail of blood.
You thought it was going to lead you to the same grove of trees that you met K at earlier, but it dipped towards an unfamiliar bend. Ahead, you saw a figure sitting down, leaning against a tree. It was too small to be K, but it looked vaguely familiar. Approaching it slowly, you gasped when you saw who it is.
It was your brother.
“Jungwon!” Kneeling down, you examined his face. His eyes were closed, his head tilted to one side. You drew in a deep breath when you saw a deep bite mark on his neck. “You—you got bitten...”
In the distance, the howling you had heard earlier started up again, making you stiffen. You have to get Jungwon out of here, and back to the tent before anything happens. From what you have read before, not only vampires live in Lamia, but also—
“Werewolves,” the voice behind you made you jump, and you whirled around to see K behind you. His eyes seem to glow in the dark, as he stared at you with the same intensity as before. “They’re coming, it’s the full moon tonight.”
“I’m not leaving my brother,” you said, going over to Jungwon and trying to pick him up. “I have to go back to camp and warn Geonu—”
“It’s too late for that,” K knelt down besides you and picked up Jungwon easily. Standing up, he turned to face you again. “I have a safe place we can go to. If you go back that way, the werewolves will attack you. Your brother already got bitten by a vampire, it won’t be safe for him, and even if you do make it back, you don’t know how he’ll be like after the transformation. He already lost so much blood.”
“But-” you started to protest, before you were cut off by another loud howl. It sounded much closer than before, and you clenched your hands into fists. What are you going to do?
“Trust me, Y/N,” K’s voice turned soft. “Please. I’m not going to hurt you. If I wanted to, I would’ve done it sooner.”
You looked at him, uncertain. Why should you trust a stranger you’ve never met before, even though it seems like you two knew each other years ago? And a vampire, nonetheless. But it was between him and getting beaten up by werewolves, and you knew that you had no choice.
Hoping that you won’t regret your decision, you sighed. “Lead the way.”
——————-—-—————-———————————————
You watched anxiously as K patched Jungwon up, applying healing ointments onto his face and cleaning the bite mark. Fidgeting slightly, you looked around the small cabin you were in. It was sparsely furnished, with some stools placed at the corners, a couch that Jungwon was now lying on, and a table near the wall. You have a strange feeling of déjà vu, as if you been here before.
“Is Jungwon alright?” You shifted your focus back to K, as he pulled a blanket over your brother, then putting the medicine jar away.
“He’ll live,” K said. “It’ll take some time for him to recover, though. How did he end up like this?”
“I don’t know...” you bit your lip, “He disappeared from home a year ago, and I’ve been searching for him ever since. I couldn’t find any trace of him until a few months ago, when someone tipped Geonu off—oh my god, Geonu!” You stood up and rushed to the door. “He’s out there, all alone, I should’ve checked on him—”
“And risk crossing paths with the werewolves?” You turned back to see that K had stood up as well, frowning at you. “It’s best to wait until morning, you’ll put yourself in danger if you go now.”
You let out a sigh in frustration. “I can’t just leave him there! The werewolves will kill him!”
“Why do you care about him so much?” K suddenly burst out, his voice making you look at him, surprised. “Are you two dating or something?”
“No, he’s my friend,” you rolled your eyes. “Even if I was, why do you care so much? Actually,” you looked him straight in the eye. “Why are you so interested in me? And how do you even know me?”
K tilted his head to the side, contemplating you for a second. “Did you really forget, or are you just pretending not to know?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
He stepped closer to you, and something in his gaze changed. He almost looked predatory, a wild fire in his eyes as he searched yours for lies. “You don’t remember anything at all?”
“N-no,” your confidence wavered under his intense stare, and you finally broke eye contact. Somehow, your eyes landed on a pendant hanging on his neck. Again, that same feeling of déjà vu washed over you, and a memory suddenly played in your mind: intertwined hands, soft laughter, the sunset. You blinked in confusion. Where did that come from?
“Really?” K’s voice sounded almost amused. “I think you do know something, Y/N.”
“I gave you that pendant,” you said, still eyeing it. It had a special meaning, you decided, to both you and him. “Because....we were....”
He was too close, yet you couldn’t bring yourself to push him away. You don’t know how the distance between you two had suddenly shortened, but his scent was intoxicating. You inhaled sharply as he put his lips to your ear, his breath fanning your neck.
The cold night air against her pale skin, leaves dancing along the wind and her heart pumping against her chest. The bottom of her worn out hanbok was filled with soil due to her running back to her home after hearing the news in the capitol that there was an assassin on the loose. As soon as she reached their hanok to inform her brother about what she heard she was greeted by their small home with doors wide open. The doors being wide open was unusual for her brother because Jeongin was a shy man, unless he was called to perform his duties as a soldier from the middle- class.
She walked towards their hanok cautiously. As she got closer to the open door, she realized that the flowers she planted are now dead on the ground which alarmed her even more than he already was. Her hardened look turned soft as soon as she saw her brother’s sate. She felt her lungs gasping for air as she looked at her brother laying on his own pool of blood with wounds all over his face and body. She dropped on her knees then crawled towards his beloved brother with tears streaming down his face.
She wanted to scream but couldn’t find her voice. she hugged his deceased brother not caring about the blood staining her hanbok. She cried for the first time in 10 years. She hasn’t cried since her parent’s passing and now here she is, blood in her hands and clothes with her brother that made sure that she was loved all through the years. her brother that gave up his childhood to provide for her. Her brother that was brave and selfless. Now gone.
Y/N tried to calm down to ask for help from her neighbors, but as she calmed down, she noticed something close to her brother’s body. A Mapae, a horse pass that was given to officials. “My brother’s death is not just a meaningless murder. It was ordered” she said to herself as she picked up the mapae. From that night she vowed to her deceased brother’s body that she will find who killed him and she will make sure that the assassin will pay.
She got up and finally left her brother’s side to ask for help. With the Mapae in her hand, clutching to it tightly she approached the hanok of an old man that was close to the siblings. She knocked hoping to wake him up.
As the door opened the old man was surprised to see Y/N with swollen eyes, Hanbok covered in dirt and blood.
“Ahjussi, please help me.” She cried in front of the old man. He guided her into his home and told her to sit down as he prepared tea for the both of them.
“What happened? Why are you covered in blood and dirt late at night?” the retired soldier named Dong-Joo asked the frightened girl. Dong-Joo witnessed the Yang siblings grow up in the Hanok close to him, he often sees Jeongin leave the young girl whenever he was called to go serve his country, making the old man feel sorry for the girl, he often brings Y/N food whenever he cooked meals for himself.
“My brother is now dead in our Hanok. I found this beside him.” She handed the Mapae to Dong-Joo. As soon as he saw the Mapae he immediately knew what the girl wanted. She wanted answers.
He sighed and took the mapae. “This is used by officials during their trip to regional areas. I’ve talked to your brother and this cannot be his. It must be someone higher in the army.” He said then looked at the young girl with pity.
“Is there any way for us to find out who did it? I can’t let my brother’s murderer live his life as if he didn’t do anything wrong.” Her dementor was no where near the one she had when she arrived the old man’s home. It was now filled with range and eagerness to get revenge.
On that night the old retired soldier decided to take the young girl and help her on finding out which one of the officials killed her brother.
‿︵‿︵ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ 2 YEARS LATER ୨˚̣̣̣͙୧‿︵‿︵‿︵ ‿︵ ‿︵ ‿︵
The time as come for more people to serve the royal family from the inside. Many families didn’t want their child specifically their daughters to go in the palace after the said assassin was rumored to still be lurking in the shadows. The order of the royals for more servants was strict. The standards and rules that was given is quite hard to follow, but it was understandable. Serving the Royal family must be perfect or close to perfect. Training for 2 years Y/N was now in the selection to officially be part of the palace women that will serve the royal family until they die.
Standing in the straight line of women outside the palace, Y/N had worn he hanbok gifted by her brother before he passed with her chin up. She was confident that she will be chosen by the people in charge due to Dong-Joo putting a good word for the young one. Dong-Joo pulled a few strings to get Y/N to take part of the selection and made sure that she will get in.
She was lost in her thoughts till she heard one of the officials say her name.
“Yang Y/N, daughter from a chungin family, sister of a fallen soldier named Yang Jeongin and now under the care of a retired soldier Kim Dong-Joo.” As the officials stated her status, whispers among the long line of women broke out. It was no secret that his brother was killed. Every woman knew the Yang siblings because of their visuals and skills. When the news about Jeongin getting killed broke out people looked at Y/N with pity but she continues to hold her head high, she didn’t need pity. She needed to find the killer.
The officials looked at the skills she had told them that she can do and they gestured the guards to take her out of the line to be put on the other side where the other chosen women were.
Now that she was sure that she will serve the Royal family from the inside, he is getting closer to her goal. She smiled and looked down. Other people may see her smile as sweet but the thoughts she had that made her smile is sinister.
At the age of 17 she is now a palace woman.
As they went in the palace, others got distracted with the beautiful flowers but Y/N looked forward with the smile she had from being brought to the palace. They were all guided towards a hall where they will soon be divided.
Some will be assigned to different duties inside the palace. Due to her family background, skills and with a few help of Dong-Joo, Y/N was assigned to be a seamstress. Her position was just right since she was new and she made sure that she will slowly work her way to a higher position.

“jay, im just eating.”
he likes cooking for you

i feel like he is the silent type of loving
it is the little actions of affection
you can tell him anything that is on your mind or when you feel stuck
gives you back rubs while you rant
he is one good ass listener

a/n: hiiii!! it seems like a few people liked my sunoo drabble so i decided to write some more drabbles for the trainees for iland!! also can we talk about how hot jay looks in the new ep ????
as you sat on jay’s bed, you tried your best to not stare at jay in his gaming chair. somehow when he plays, he has a pair of eyes in the back of his head and tells you that with you staring at him he ‘can’t focus with the attention.’ you thought it was cute when his face scrunched up whenever he died and how he would smirk at the screen when he would get a kill.
he just started playing a new shooting game he got from gamestop a few hours prior. to distract yourself, you scrolled on tik tok - it was a great way to past some time without doing any physical exercise.
this happened for a little until you eventually got tired. getting up from your comfortable spot you hugged jay from behind. “hi.” you said, combing your fingers through his hair. leaning into your touch, he hummed. “hi baby.”
“how many games have you won?”
“mmm... too many to count.” he smirked. you nodded and made your way next to jay and the computer. you knew he would not stop gaming until 3 in the morning so, you had an idea.
you knelt down in front of jay, looking up at him. he gave you a shocked face as he looked down, not knowing what you are doing. you widened his arms and slowly climbed up into his lap, knowing that he is trying to focus on his game. as you wiggled your way through his arms, you managed to find a comfortable spot without getting in the way of the screen.
snuggling your head in the crook of his neck you quickly found yourself falling asleep. with a quick glance, he smiled at you in his embrace trying not to melt. your breath tickled his neck but he didn’t mind because he didn’t want to move you.
jay had finished his last game for the night and shut off his computer, holding your head so it won’t fall to the side. this time, he took a longer look at how you fit perfectly in his arms with his sweatshirt hanging off of your small frame.
a/n: hiiii !! i will be making more iland scenarios and oneshots, please stay tuned for that :)) also please vote for sunoo and daniel to get into iland!!
you laid comfortably on your bed, playing a game on your phone. sunoo was humming a random song as he walked to you. “y/n, i’m going out with the boys tonight!”
“okay baby. have fun!” you said not looking up from your game. you were so close to beating the boss level, you cannot risk the chance of losing. sunoo frowned, noticing that you weren’t paying any attention to him. “fine. i’m going over right now.”
you hummed in response as you do your final attack on the scary creature, making it emit a loud groan and fall on the floor. “yes! that took forever!” you excitedly shut off your phone, due from overheating. “oh -- sunoo? why are you still here?” you jumped, noticing sunoo.
he sat on the edge of your bed, not moving an inch. “i said -- i am going out with the boys y/n.”
“yes, i know sunoo. why aren’t you moving?” you nudged his side, getting a grunt from him. sunoo dramatically laid back and onto your lap. “why don’t you care?!” he whined.
confused, you combed your fingers through his hair, “what do you mean? you said you were going to hang out with the boys. so go?” sunoo leaned into your touch, instantly melting. he almost forgot what he was going to say. “you know what? i’m gonna hang out with the boys.”
sunoo got up and stomped out of your room, still confused you sat in the same spot trying to decipher what is going on in his brain. it didn’t take long for sunoo to stomp back into your room and stand at the edge of your bed. you tilted your head, chuckling at him.
“i am not going to hang out with the boys anymore.” he pouted. you nodded and gestured for him to get into your bed. he smiled and crawled under your covers and immediately latched himself to you. snuggling into his embrace, you asked, “what were you trying to say?”
he shrugged, “i thought you would have a different reaction. i didn’t expect you to just let me out in the wild, especially with the boys!”
“how was i supposed to react then?” you looked up at him.
“well -- not like that! you were supposed to cling onto me, begging me not to go.” sunoo frowned, looking down at you. he swear his heart did backflips.
“okay then, baby. i will react differently next time.” you laughed, reaching up to kiss him. you forget how soft his lips are sometimes, wow you gotta kiss him more.
Months had passed, Y/N’s task was to embroider different designs on the coats and sleeping attires that was made for the different Princes in the palace. The prince assigned to her was the 3rd prince, Prince Yixiang. Other people in the palace often says that the 3rd prince was cold towards other people. They have never seen him without the 2nd prince, Prince Youngbin.
Y/N didn’t believe the rumors about the 3rd prince because many people in the palace may lie, she doesn’t trust people in the palace other than herself. Her goal for now was to be close to one of the princes and the 3rd prince was the closest she can encounter. She needs to build up allies in the palace to find out what she’s been wanting to find out for the past years.
As she embroiders dragons on the coat that will soon be given to the prince, she made sure that every detail of the dragon was clear. If she wanted to be close to the prince, she needs to get his attention. Every prick of needle on the soft silk coat was carefully made, she had the mentality of “No room for mistakes”. Perfection should be done for the satisfaction of the royals.
The final details of the one of the seven dragons she made was now done. Using the softest and expensive threads provided, she managed to make the dragons look like they were soaring the night sky. She handed the coat to the Leading palace lady for her to inspect the coat. After checking the palace lady gave her an approval and now placed the coat on the chest where all the clothes that was made for the 3rd prince was.
“Ladies please stop what you are doing now I have an announcement to make.” Palace Lady Jung called our attention. As we all stopped and looked at her she continued talking
“you will personally be delivering the clothes you embroidered to the princes. You will be given a chance to explain to them why you designed the clothes like that and if they don’t like it you will be transferred to a different part of the palace to work on a different job. Now prepare all the Chests and the guards will help you take them to the princes chambers.” The guards took the chest in front of her and guided me towards the 3rd prince’s chamber.
We reached he prince’s chamber his servant announced our arrival then opened the doors gesturing us to go in. The guards went in and placed the chest down a few feet away from where the prince was sat. Y/N walked behind the chest not daring to look at the prince just yet since there were no orders from the prince himself. “Speak.” A deep yet firm voice was heard. She slowly looked at the prince then at the chest. Opening the chest that contains the clothes made for him, Y/N started off with the hanbok, the hanbok didn’t have much designs other than the small flowers around the cuffs, belt and collar. She explained why the hanbok was in dark colors with gold embroidery on it. The prince gestured his servants to take the hanbok.
Y/N moved to the sleep attire for the prince that was made with dark blue silk with a lighter shade of blue clouds embroidered on the back of it, she explained how the clouds may make him feel at ease during the night. The prince slowly got interested at the way Y/N explains her work on the clothes making him lean forward, resting his elbows on his knees with his face placed on his hand. The servants took the sleeping attire as she finished explaining.
Lastly the coat that she just finished making on that day. “a black coat that is filled with 7 gold dragons dancing on the clouds. The color may seem too dark but it compliments your pale skin and the color can blend I the dark whenever you want to have a peaceful stroll at night with no one noticing you. Gold dragons, 7 of them to be exact because gold is simply made for royals like yourself. The dragons are just like your dementor whenever we see you on the training grounds, you move like dragons dancing on the clouds. Unpredictable but protects itself properly. And lastly 7 because I consulted the palace astronomer, Yongbok, what number brings you luck and he said it was 7, may the coat bring you luck while you use it during the cold. That is all your highness.” The 3rd prince stared at Y/N after she explained and thought that she was smart for consulting the astronomer not just embroidering what looks good on the attire that he will use outside of his chambers.
“Everyone else other than her. Please leave I want to talk to her on my own.” The prince said with a firm voice, anyone else would be scared but Y/N wasn’t just anyone. She was fearless.
After everyone left the prince and Y/N, the prince stood up from where he was sat and dragged another chair towards Y/N gesturing her to sit.
“You’re better than the last one who made my clothes. The last one didn’t give me dark colors that I wanted, the designs were too flashy even though it wasn’t made out of the gold threads, and puts too much designs on it.” The prince took the coat she made from where it was placed, Y/N’s eyes not leaving the prince “Thank you for appreciating my work your highness.” She said with a quiet voice. the prince looked at her and asked “How did you know I like darker colors?”
“I saw how you admired the dark hanboks of the 2nd prince and thought that maybe you liked them, other than that the dark colors suit your skin your highness, it makes you look more handsome than you already are” Y/N said while looking at the prince with confidence. The prince chuckled then gestured her to come close to him. He grabbed her hand and lightly ran her fingertips along the soft silk “The silk was made for us to enjoy wearing, touching the silk can ease our worries but it can also make us feel a lot of pressure. Now I want to ask you, how does it feel to run your hands against the silk?” the prince let go of her hand and then faced her. The gulped due to how close the prince was before she started speaking.
“Honestly, I didn’t feel at ease. Not at all. what I felt instead is pressure since we are the once in charge of making it into perfection for you.” She paused to look at the prince “Pressure will always be the one a seamstress like me will feel while touching the expensive fabrics that will be turned into your attire for your every day use.” She said while looking at the prince in the eyes.
The prince felt what she felt though her words and what her eyes are telling him. What she said was something he felt growing up in the place. Being the only song of a foreign concubine made him feel different from the others, that’s why he is often by his older brother or by himself. He didn’t feel like a prince growing up but he was loved by his brother which made it easier for him to cope.
“I understand. May I know your name? so I would know who to mention whenever I am asked who made my clothes?” the prince asked tilting his head a little on the side.
“Yang Y/N your highness” she quietly answered. “thank you, Y/N, for your time and effort in making these. I will surely use them soon. I also expect to see you again.” The prince guided her towards the door but stopped before he opened it “I also consider you as an acquaintance from now on. Hopefully we become friends in the future.” The prince smiled and opened the door.
As she stepped outside, she saw that the guards that accompanied her were no longer there. She walked back to the place where she works on the clothes with the 3rd prince in her mind. Maybe he was just misunderstood by people around him that’s why he is often seen with a cold exterior.
On the other side of he palace, the 3rd prince continued to think about the seamstress that caught his interest. He’s intrigued by the girl.
He feels something about the girl but it wasn’t that clear just yet. “your highness the 2nd prince is here” He heard one of his guards from the outside say. The doors opened revealing his brother, “Has the seamstress been here already? I want to laugh at your reactions again” his brother Youngbin said while looking around. To his disappointment he saw the empty chest that was used to deliver the clothes.
“you missed her by a few minutes brother. And surprisingly I love the clothes, it’s better than before. Much better” he said while smiling at his older brother. He grabbed the black coat with dragons to show his brother. “This is the best one I’ve seen since my mother passed. It’s been years since I actually loved seeing what the seamstress brings me”
The older prince looked at the coat in awe, he saw the details of the dragon was well made and the color was exactly the younger wanted. “didn’t the palace let more people in a months ago? Maybe she was new.” The older prince asked
Yixiang nodded at his brother “The seamstress assigned to me was also young. Seems like she was just our age or younger. Smart and beautiful as well.” He explained as he handed the coat to his brother for him to feel every detail of the embroidery. The older raised his eyebrow while looking at Yixiang.
“did I hear you correctly? You called someone beautiful?” he questioned his brother and placed the coat on the chair. He walked closer to his brother his eyes not leaving his face in hopes to see some interesting reaction. “Yes. She’s beautiful and like I said smart. You should meet her, maybe she’ll interest you as well.” He smiled.
Youngbin was surprised to hear that his brother indeed called another woman other than his mother beautiful. The sight of his brother smiling because of the set of clothes made him feel good. His brother deserves to smile more and if the new seamstress brings him his new found joy, he wants to find a way to befriend that seamstress or even find a way for that seamstress to be around them more.
“are you interested in her?” He asked the younger, Yixiang shrugged and answered “I see her more of a company more of a lover my brother. She might help me ease up here in the palace after so long”
“I’ll try to find a way to get her closer to us. Maybe find her a different job that doesn’t require her to stay in one place for so long.” Youngbin said.
“Do you think we can get her to be one of my maids instead?” Yixiang looked at his brother, he saw him nodded “I’ll ask the queen dowager later after I give her the painting Heeseung and I made”
With that the so-called Cold prince smiled warmly. He was glad that there may be a chance for him to see the girl again. To get to know her more.

The 2nd prince, Prince Youngbin headed off to his older brother Heeseung, The 1st prince. On his way to his brother’s chambers he saw the line of needle workers heading to a different direction. He didn’t get to ask his younger brother what the smart lady looked like and just tried to find someone that fits his brother’s standards.
The workers greeted the prince as they pass by, he offered them a smile like he always does and continued walking but still looking at the workers to see if there was someone who stood out for him.
There was this one girl who greeted but after that looked straight ahead. She had her chin up, fair skin shining under the daylight. If he didn’t see her with the workers, he would think that she was a noble lady. He was certain that she was the one who made the attire of his brother.
“Excuse me. May I speak with you?” He held his hand out to stop her. She was surprised that he was stopped by one of the princes in the palace, she looked at him with wide eyes and nodded. They moved to the side as the eyes of other workers followed the two figures. As soon as the workers took their leave Youngbin started talking.
“are you the seamstress assigned to my brother, The 3rd prince?”
She looked at him with wide eyes. Negative thoughts suddenly filled her head, what if the prince didn’t like his new set of clothes? What if there was a pin stuck in one of the and asked his brother to find her?
“base on your facial expression, I’m guessing you are her. Don’t worry you didn’t do anything wrong. I was just wondering if you can accompany me in my walk.” He smiled at the younger female that gave out a relieved look after being assured.
“But the head lady might get mad at me for not working.” She reasoned out, despite knowing that they have nothing to do for the rest of the day.
“I’ll ask one of my guards to tell her that you’re requested to join one of the princes in the palace. Shall we?” The young prince held his hand out towards they path to the garden. She nodded and smiled shyly at the prince.
Their walk towards the garden was quiet and a little awkward for Y/N since she didn’t know why the prince asked her to the walk. Whatever motive the prince has, she needed to know immediately. Especially with the plans she has.
“You worry to much flower.” Youngbin said softly while turning his attention to the quiet female beside him. Both hands on his back, he stood straight analyzing her.
“That’s what I’ve been doing for the past years. it helps me survive your highness” She said almost forgetting the last part, she can’t risk being heard not addressing the prince properly or else her head will be off in no time.
“Why is that? Are you from the sketchy part of the kingdom? If you are you have nothing to worry about now, our king is planning something to help our people in terms of safety and work.” He said with a calm voice. he was confident that the king will do something to help, he knows that It wasn’t impossible for change to happen.
“The thing is your highness, even though I was not part of the sketchy side of the kingdom we still had to worry. I was a sister of a soldier your highness, He was assassinated in our own home that’s why I constantly live with worry in my head.” She told the prince without hesitation about what happened with his brother, leaving the detail about the Mapae she found next to his brother’s body.
The young prince looked at her with wide eyes, all the prince got to train with soldiers close to their age at some point. The prince still didn’t know her name which made him think if she was related to one of the soldiers that helped them.
“What is your name? yours and your brothers”
“Yang Y/N and Yang Jeongin” She said as she walks towards the flowerbed.
With the delicate flowers in her hand she continued talking since the prince remained quiet. “He was a brave one, a few years older than I am but took responsibility in raising me after our parents passed. He was selfless, wise and quite handsome as well, he could pass as a prince if he didn’t wear the heavy armor and just wore the hanboks I made him before.”
The prince walked towards her stopping a few feet behind her. He remembers the soldier that was close to his brother, Park Sunghoon the 6th Prince, he’s the reason why their father preferred him despite not being the first born. He taught his brother so much about the people of their kingdom, about the battle field and about life. Almost all of the princes would tag along whenever he’s around the 6th prince just so they can ask questions and hear stories about what happens behind the palace walls.
“I know who he is. I didn’t know he already passed.” His lips quivered as he said the last part.
“We thought that he’s somewhere doing is duties as a soldier. All of us are waiting for him to comeback and tell us stories.” He continued with his eyes turning glossy.
“I’m guessing you all got close to my brother. His stories are always the best and would make you feel like you also experienced the event first hand.” She said softly as she turned to the prince with tears slowly escaping her eyes.
“H-how long has it been?”
“2 years already” She whispered in the wind, while looking at the small pond in the garden.
The prince bowed his head “Have you found out who did it?”
She looked at him with a sad smile “No. the person who killed him is still out there living his life as if he didn’t take someone else’s but I do want to find him, being here in the palace can help.” Slowly she revealed a part of her plan but not enough for others to conclude what the whole thing was.
“I can help you; my brothers and I can help. Yixiang may not seem like he wants to help but as soon as he hears this he will.” He told the girl then held her hand in his tightly.
“Your highness please know I can’t trust easily. I may be here in the palace but I know how bad people can get.” She said
“you don’t have to trust me right away. I can prove to you that I will help you, that we will help you. Meet me later at the royal library after dinner time, make up an excuse of helping my brother with adjustments with his clothes.” The prince pleaded at the younger female.
She sighed and agreed, understanding that there might be consequences with meeting up with the prince she decided to take precautionary measures and planned to bring some of her materials with her, to keep the suspicions from other seamstress and to protect herself using her own things.
