as always, the trio—caelus, dan heng, and you (since march 7th couldn’t join)—arrived at Amphoreus with some accident.
a buffed white-haired man appeared to welcome you three.
that’s where it all started.
then, later on, you met with the crown prince, Mydei.
being the one who usually had zero presence, it was a perfect fit to sneak here and there.
“that’s all i found.” you said, finishing up telling the two guys your findings after some time of snooping around.
the three of you have been discussing the things you might be facing on this planet. you guys anticipated it, ‘cause they’re always there. and having been to many, this wasn’t something new.
you all sighed and dan heng proposed when caelus’s stomach rumbled, “let’s eat first. all these discussions have made us hungry.”
you and caelus nodded in unison, exaggeratedly.
as a foodie, you can’t miss on local specialties and discover new tastes!
however, your anticipation died down quickly as it came.
being an invisible person, you’re bound to be forgotten.
a missing set of plate, utensils, glasses, and meals not counting you. the people would end up making something in a rush.
as you entered the dining area, you saw two men setting up the table.
the white-haired man who introduced himself to the three of you, Phainon, was setting up the plate. while the man with fiery aura, was carrying what seems to be a meal that was piping hot. his name is Mydei.
“you guys are here! Mydei took the initiative to cook food for us. you should all try it! he’s the best of the best!”
your eyes lit up. a great cook! what a jackpot!
but then, you immediately felt embarrassed. realizing a crown prince cooked food for ordinary people like you.
“wow, what a privilege! then, i won’t be polite.” caelus said, his eyes practically became stars as he sat himself on one of the unoccupied chairs. you couldn’t help but chuckle. wishing you’d have such confidence like him.
“thank you. we had to trouble the crown prince of such a thing,” finally, someone with sensibility replied. it was none other than dan heng.
you quietly followed behind him, your gaze looking at the plates on the table, secretly counting them to see if you were considered.
1, 2, 3… 4.
there were 5 of you.
this wasn’t anything new but it still gave a sinking feeling to your stomach.
‘alright,’ you thought as you prepared your usual script to scenes like this.
you raised a hand, which you didn’t noticed was trembling and said, “hey, i—“
“y/n, i apologize,” Mydei who just came back with another plate on his hand—with unusual small amount on it—cut you off from your words that was about to say ‘hey, i’m here’, and him pointing it out made it more painful for you.
you had a slight crush on the man, okay! and you didn’t want to be put in such an embarrassing spot like this and being seen by him.
—okay, maybe that wasn’t just a slight crush, whatever.
“… i took it upon myself to place some dishes in your plate. i noticed that you’re fond of these ones.” your mind went blank and you looked at him, eyes blinking in disbelief.
what?
you looked at the plate on his hand.
come again?
he did what?
“y/n.” he called out, his voice a bit low.
although it was faint, there was some uncertainty in his tone as if he was afraid he offended you in any way.
“oh, oh! thank you, your highness—“ you totally crashed down and went on mumbling courtesies that already didn’t make sense.
he chuckled, ever so slightly, seeing your face turning red. “you don’t have to be so formal around me. come sit, let’s eat.” he said and even motioned for you to sit next to him.
you walked towards him with your hands and feet moving the same way, as if you were a robot.
the other men around were trying their hardest to stay quiet, giving the two of you some moments together.
of course, caelus was forced down by dan heng to be still by holding his hand. phainon almost squeaked.
dan heng almost had a headache because of those two.
“t-thank you.” as you sat and slowly regained yourself, you thanked him sincerely.
you were so touched you would’ve cried if not for the others present.
he just let out a gentle hum that only the two of you could hear.
the dinner was pleasant. if not for a fact that caelus had something to say.
“hey, y/n and Mydei seems to be in a pink bubble all throughout.” dan heng could only face palm while phainon nodded along.
“yeah! and it’s like we can’t even enter that bubble!! they’re like in a two-person world.” the foolish white haired man said.
“please, just shut up, you two.” dan heng had no choice but to drag them away.
hence, after the dinner and when everyone left was dragged away, leaving you and Mydei, you steeled yourself and thanked him once again.
“thank you, Mydei. you might not know it, but it was a big thing for me. and i want to express my appreciation to you.” you smiled sincerely. Mydei could practically see your eyes glowing, and knew you truly meant it.
it was just a first for you to feel this way. it may sound like it wasn’t a big deal, but for you this was something worth remembering.
he smiled and it almost knocked you out. that damn smile was literally the killer smile!
“i’m glad you liked it. i can prepare more of those next time.” you suddenly felt embarrassed, thinking that your approach must’ve looked like you were asking for more. (of course, you were so wrong in that)
“ah, ah… you don’t have to…” you scratched your cheek shyly.
“y/n, i see you.”
