LISA
I was going walking to the ballroom where I was informed Rose was, I had just entered through the big doors when I heard shouting
''HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL, YOU IMBECILES MOVE IT TO THE RIGHT'', Rose shouted at the poor guys who were just trying their best, it was clear on their faces they were terrified of rose, I couldn't blame them, I was to
'' oh hey Lili when did you come here'', she noticed my presence by the door, my eyes were wide with astonishment and my mouth slightly open at how quickly her demeanor had changed, although glad her anger was not directed at me
I let out a chuckle before asking, '' Lili ?'', ''yeah, I think it suites you don't you think'', she replied while turning her back to me and directing with her hands on where to move the flowers '' you can call me whatever you like'' I said with a smile, 'Lili' I tested it out on my tongue, it wasn't that bad.
I continued, ''sorry for the disturbance, you weren't at breakfast, I thought I would check up on you apparently you've been here since the break of dawn'', I said with worry laced in my voice while she continued saying orders and running around the room she looked back at me for a moment and smiled and again turning around while saying, ''there's no need to apologies, I was just about to give everyone and myself a break-''
before she could continue all the workers around us let out breaths of relief, I let out a chuckle of amusement and looked to rose who had frozen in place with her hands in the air to whatever she was directing to be moved, I couldn't see her face but I can only imagine it was painted with guilt, she suddenly let out strings of apologies, ''god, I'm sorry everyone please have a break let's meet back here at sundown, yeah?'',
everyone let out responses of approval and started leaving the room to no doubt go back to their unfinished sleep.
while everyone was leaving from beside me I bowed to as many people I made eye contact and let out, ''good work, the room looks beautiful'' everyone bowed back while leaving the room and some smiled or said ''thank you, your highness''
right, I was highness now
I looked back at rose who smiled at me sheepishly with her hands on top of each other in front of her
after a few seconds, we let out laughs while she speed-walked towards me, and she wrapped her hands on my arm
we walked out of the Ballroom towards Rose's room, where her Breakfast would be delivered, while on our way there she started telling me about the theme she was decorating the Ballroom, it was 'Flower garden'
we made it to her room and sat down on the chairs in the corner of the room which had a small round table in the middle it, after a while food was delivered while Rose eat we talked about the dresses we would wear, the ball which was in just five days, something Rose was stressing over, in her words, '' how does one plan a Ball in just FIVE DAYS at least give me two-three weeks''
after a few seconds of silence, I asked, '' what is this ball for anyway'', Rose replied, '' to celebrate your arrival of course''
''WHAT MY ARRIVAL'' I jumped up in my chair, rose looked at me with her fork almost in her mouth, she put it back down, and help my hand, '' calm down, what's the problem'', I looked at her like it was the stupid question, and said with worry, '' no no no I can't have my first BALL with ALL the attention on ME, I wouldn't know what to do, I only learned yesterday the proper terminology, I can't even read nor write how do you expect me to greet so many people, I heard the Queen's invitation list, so many royals'' I said all in one breath waving my hands around while I did, I inhaled a huge breath, with my hands in my chest and looked at Rose with wide eyes whos expression was mirroring mine,
''its a ball, you dance in a ball, I don't know the first thing about dancing oh god Rose what am I gonna do'' I let out the last part with defeat and put my head in my hands on my knees, I felt Rose's hand on my back, ''don't worry, I saw you with the workers the way you told them a good job you do the same with the guests, except say welcome and shake there hand and bow, hey'', I looked at her in my position, she smiled at me calming me down,
'' you can practice on me as many times as you want'', I strengthened and let out a low thanks and smiled at her, ''perhaps I over-reacted a little'', I said shyly, ''oh not at all, I only wish I had some way of seeing that again it was the funniest meltdown I have ever seen'' she said teasingly while mimicking my exaggerated hand gestures, I hit her softly on the shoulder while laughing, she laughed along, I asked with a slight worry, ''what about dancing?'', she smiled wide, I looked with squinting eyes, and said, ''what's with the smile'', ''well I have someone who can teach you'', '' in five days'', I said surprisingly, ''hmmm'' she said satisfyingly.
JUNGKOOK:
I was in my study when a heard a knock on my door, I said come in, I leaned back in my chair, a guard came in and bowed, I nodded my head back, '' your highness, princess Lalisas belongings have arrived we asked her neighbor Kunpimook Bhuwakul, to bring them, just like you asked'', alright, perfect ill be right out, ask, Lalisa to come as well'' I said while sorting the documents while standing up, the guard bowed and left
I made my way down and through the opening doors I could see bambam standing in front of the gates of the castles gates with his hands in his pockets looking around, I knew I was being stupid but I just wanted to see who he was, and goddammit despite his ragged clothes he was a handsome looking guy, I wasn't quite enjoying the idea of him and Lalisa being close friends, I heard footsteps behind him looking there I found Lalisa coming down, I turned my entire body with a smile, elegant dresses suited her, she was made to be a princess,
she could be my princess I looked down at my feet bitting lip, I heard her footsteps come my way, I straightened when she was standing in front of me, she smiled, my heart did a backflip in my chest, ''you look lovely'', I was expecting thanks when I noticed that her attention was behind my shoulder before I could tell her what was happening, she jumped with wide eyes, ''BAMBAM'', she ran past me with her shoulder hitting me slightly while she did, I turned around with my hands in my pocket and angry eyes
she was running towards him while holding her long dress in her hands bambam looked at her with a big smile and wide arms, she landed right in his them hugged him it had been years since they last saw each other, I shouldn't have ordered him to come, this is what I get for my idiotic curiosity, my tongue poked my cheek and I looked the other way, finding Tae and Hoeseok Hyung standing there holding in their laughter for their life, they were too far away to see what was going on but I suppose you didn't need to see to know what was happening
I snapped my head forward, I would take care of them later first I needed to stop the hugging fest, the distance between the doors and the gate was quite a lot, and seeing them hugging was irritating me more than I would like it to, I could see bambam lips moving, they were talking now, who in hell talks while hugging
I finally made it to them, I cleared my throat to announce my presence they stopped hugging, finally, both looked towards me but I only looked at Lalisa while smiling, she smiled back and tucked her a strand of her hair behind her ear the gesture made my eyes go soft.
''Ummm, Jungkook this is Kunpimook, bam this is Prince Jungkook'', I looked towards him and he bowed, '' your highness it's a pleasure to meet you'', ''oh please stop, a friend of Lalisa is my friend, you can drop the pleasantries'', I'm not sure what I was trying to achieve with the extra pressure I put on friend, it was more for me then it was for anyone else.s
I extended my hand in greeting he accepted it and said,'' well, in that case, call me bambam'', I replied with a tight smile, ''will do'' I looked towards Lalisa who was smiling happily seeing us getting along.
''You are invited to the Ball were hosting, an invitation will be sent to your house I hope to see you there'' I said with as much kindness I could muster, I hated this but I could see he meant something to Lalisa, ''oh, I surely will'' I smiled, I was hoping he would decline
''well, I need to go and get back to work, lots waiting'', I thanked the gods, my eyes drifted towards Lalisa who looked disappointed, sad, everything I didn't want to see on her face, '' 'll see you in five days, then'', they hugged again, I looked the other way and started thinking of what to do, then it struck me, she wanted to learn how to ride a horse I distinctly remember her saying that in a conversation we had when she was still in Jail.
the both of us saw Bambam going back and when he was out of eye-sight, she let out a breath I looked at her, she looked back and smiled, I smiled back, the both of us started walking back, I asked, ''so the two of you are very close, huh?'', ''oh yeah we are, iv known him since childhood, we grew up together'', ''I see'', I imagined a little Lalisa, I bet she was just as pretty as now.
I heard her chuckle, my attention shifted to her, I was glad she was laughing I would like it more if it was because of me, ''what is it?'', I asked, as we climbed the stairs, entering the castle, she stopped as soon as we entered, I stopped with her she looked at me with a big smile, the sight made my stomach flip, this woman wasn't good for my health that much was sure
she leaned close, I bent down in response and she said in a whisper, ''want to know a secret?'' ,'' yeah'', she leaned even closer, I bent even further, she brought her face right next to mine so her mouth was next to my ear and put both hands on my shoulders, I hesitantly put my hands on her waist, she gave no negative response and I, in turn, held her waist a little tighter and comfortably, this is what if felt like hugging her, bambam was one lucky bastard,
I felt her breath on my neck, and I was just about to lose my cool and faint of over-whelming
''Promise not to tell anyone if my uncle finds out he might just kill me'', her sweet voice filled my ears, I closed my eyes and breathed out, mentally scolding myself not to do anything idiotic to ruin this moment, ''I promise'',
I whispered back, '' my uncle, the one who raised me is in love with bam bams mother, me and bambam have done a lot of things to get them together, and he was just telling me that she visited him every day after I-'' there was a pause I closed my eyes in guilt when I realized she didn't know how to say it, ''left'' she finished, she pulled apart from me and I let my hands fall off her waist straightening my self and adjusting my jacket, that was a little anti-climactic I was excepting something more, just more, then relief washed over me when I realized, ''Bambam could be your potential step-brother'',
I said with more excitement than I should have, I looked down in embarrassment when she looked at me with confusion, I noticed whenever she was, she would always tilt her head to the side slightly, I looked back up when she started speaking, ''yeah, well we have always considered each as siblings so I suppose it wouldn't be much different if he did''
she said thoughtfully, I smiled like a maniac and when I noticed her stare and little questioning smile I wiped away my smile with palm, ''anyway, the reason I told you this was because I was wondering if maybe- Ummm you could invite her'' she said very slowly and uncomfortably as if I would lash out her,
I listened to her with raised eyebrows as she started talking so quickly I could barely make out anything she was saying, something about her uncle being stressed her missing her, I put my hands in front of me, ''calm down'', she intently stoped her cluttering, ''of course I could, the Ball is in celebration of you so of course, whoever you want to come can'', I chuckled when she smiled sheepishly smiled, '' I need to do something in the grounds before it is too late'', I said pointing outside, ''alright, goodbye, for now'', she replied, I repeated, ''goodbye, for now'',
we went our own ways.
