Y/n's pov:
I suddenly woke up when I remember what I've done to Hyunjin last night, it's not big deal but I literally blame him unintentionally and project him as I.N I even call him liar in my mind!
maybe because I was too overwhelmed yesterday. I look beside the bed and Hyunjin is already gone, I haven't even got the chance to write a note for him today, I rarely missed the chance to do that.
I quickly fix myself and went out the room to prepare some meal, as I'm about to finish getting the meal I'm going to give to Hyunjin I saw on the other table that he's already with Kim eating.
"thanks!" I look to that person and it's Felix who grab the donut on the plate I'm holding
"yah! there are many donuts there go get yours!" I glare at him but he just make face and proceed eating it.
The whole area is filled with princesses and princes again after many days. I walk towards Hyunjin and put down the meal I prepared for him with a little note. They both look at me at the same time
"just eat it" I said to him without taking a care to Kim, and I walk out. I'm carrying my breakfast while walking to the garden hoping to see Minho there even it's still morning.
few more walks I reach the place where he's at
"look at that! you're here in such an early morning!" I laugh while saying that because he's already doing his work continuously even the day just started
"y/n! goodmorning" he greeted me causing me to smile, I handed him the coffee I brought and he reach to drink it.
"just a quick question"-Y/n
"hmm?" - Minho
"is it normal that a person is asking you question once you get home? even though ever since that person never did that?" trying to ask it without giving too much detail
"well..it is completely normal" he plainly answer
"how so?"
"it's normal if you have some special bond or connection with that person, it will not be normal if that person continuously ignore your presence" I nodded with what he said, I was too late to process that Hyunjin's been asking me yesterday night about what happened to me and I turned that opportunity to waste because of this attitude I got!
"you're maybe right.."
--
I left Minho after an hour to search for Hyunjin, I didn't bother using my phone because I rarely get response from him. I wanted to see him today and talk to him again.
"Hyunjin?" I'm now in the art gallery of Hyunjin because he might be here doing some of his masterpieces but I can sense that no one is here that's why I left the room
"princess y/n! who are you looking for?" one of the maids approach me
"have you seen Hyunjin?" I ask her hoping I would get a good answer
"Prince Hyunjin is actually at a play room right now, would you like me to accompany you there?" she ask me while smiling, I just shook my head and proceed to that area. What the heck Hyunjin is doing at the play room?
I open the door and I didn't expect to see this, I'm too stun to even blink my eye. He's playing? or taking care of a baby right now?
once I opened the door they all look at me at the same time, including the baby. "Hy-hyunjin? Felix??" I said to them while walking towards them slowly. There are maids and some guards in the sides while at the center it's only Felix, Hyunjin and the baby.
"y/n! meet our nephew! he's Rowoon!" Felix seems delighted with the baby Hyunjin's now holding..I sit down beside them and observe what is happening
"you're taking care of him? care to explain?" I ask both of them, Hyunjin didn't even bother to look at me
"yes we are! he's just visiting here today because his parents are having a meeting with the king and queen right now" Felix explained while shaking the toy he's holding
The baby giggles when Hyunjin make face to make himself funnier. Oh! I could watch this the entire day! "how old is he?" I ask them, still just sitting beside them
"he's already 10 months old" felix answer, they handed us a small bowl containing baby food.
"try feeding him" Felix suggested to me and give the bowl to me, I gulp for a second then lean slightly beside Hyunjin
"hello rowoon! are you hungry?" the baby just look at me intently while Hyunjin is still looking at him.
I scoop his food and carefully give his food but his facial expression is slowly changing from curious to frown and he started crying!
"you made him cry" Hyunjin said to me finally and he sway baby rowoon to stop him from crying, Felix just started laughing and enjoying the torture he given to me
"I'm sorry rowoon! here's the airplane! say ahh" I tried to do a baby talk even this will not help and not even recommended to do according to what I've studied. Felix couldn't help himself containing his laughter
"open your mouth rowoon for auntie y/n" I blush when I heard that from Felix because I'm embarrass in what he called me, I felt like I don't deserve that and I'm not part of the family, even though I'm actually is now.
after a few more tries and baby talk I finally feed baby Rowoon and he seems happy and becoming comfortable in my presence.
We continue playing with him to pass some more time, but suddenly Rowoon vomit some of his food on Hyunjin's clothes, and baby Rowoon clap then laugh
"pff-HAHA! you've been chosen Hyunjin-ah"Felix tease him while clapping his hands laughing, I tried to keep my laughter inside me but failed.
Hyunjin's face scream disgusted, I stand up and get the small towel to wipe away the vomit on his clothes. It's a good thing that it's not a lot.
"Prince Felix"- some guy
"I got to go! I need to go somewhere, see yah both later!" Felix decided to go out with I don't know reason, it's just me and Hyunjin left with baby Rowoon. I continue wiping away the vomit on his clothes
"Rowoon do you hate me?"Hyunjin utter while looking at him but unfortunately Rowoon fell asleep after that incident. I laugh suddenly because he must be a smart baby trying to get away with what he did.
"oh sorry! hehe" I peace sign when I saw Hyunjin glare at me jokingly.
"Do you want me to carry him while you change your clothes?" I ask him he just nodded like a child then he slowly and carefully given me rowoon and he went inside the other room to change his clothes
While I'm waiting for Hyunjin I couldn't help but to giggle when I remember what happened when we were playing with Rowoon, Hyunjin is so cute and so soft, I almost didn't recognize him because of his dorkiness.
I also remembered that when I'm having a duty when I take my course I was also assigned to department where I needed to take care of newborn babies, couldn't help but to feel relieve with that thought because atleast I have a knowledge how to take care of them instead of being careless.
"do I look okay?" my attention went to Hyunjin when he's now standing in front of me and turn around to show me what he's wearing.
"you always look okay" I said to him while doing a slight thumbs up, he slightly smile when he heard that and he signal me to come towards him with baby rowoon
"there" I lay down baby rowoon on the crib and we just both look at him while he's sound asleep.
"you two really look cute together!" my head turn around when I heard Krystal entering the room trying to lower her voice
"what are you doing here?" I ask her and leave Hyunjin and baby rowoon
"guess what? there's a haunted house they created at the garden! it's so hugee! many people already tried it! I wanted to but it only requires 2 to 4 person! I don't know where Felix is!" Krystal pouted and she looks like begging me to come with her
"are you crazy? you really want to go to that? you're scared in places like that right?" I reminded her with the audacity she's having right now
"yes butttt..I really want too I don't want to be stuck here in the palace doing nothing, let's have some fun! they did that for a dry run" she explained to me futher, Hyunjin walks towards us
"do you have something to do?" Hyunjin ask out of the blue, never thought he will ask her
"yes Hyunjin-ah! y/n here doesn't want to help me it's really simple and easy! I can't do it alone because it requires 2 to 4 people" she complain still trying to do a puppy eyes.
"let's join her" - Hyunjin
"wait what? are you serious right now?" I ask him still couldn't believe what I'm hearing from him. Do he still feel like Krystal still suspect us and wanted to prove that he's not cold and easy going?
He nod at me as a response. I couldn't say no anymore because he decided and seems like really wanted to do this, besides Rowoon is now sleeping.
"yaass! Hyunjin you're so cool right now, thank you! let's go now!"Krystal lead the way and we follow her.
"Hyunjin!" we all stop when we heard someone calling Hyunjin at the back,it's kim.
"where are you going?" she asks us and now beside Hyunjin and force me to be beside Krystal
"at the garden! would you like to join?" Krystal ask smirking,I see what she's thinking right now
"you three?"-Kim
"yep! join us!" Krystal forcing her, Kim didn't even hesitate to know where we are going and she's now going with us. Doesn't she have anything to do today? she's always follow Hyunjin while here I am thinking it's a date between me and Hyunjin while Krystal is the third wheel, the opportunity just ruined.
"here we are!" Krystal raise both of her arm while smiling
"haunted house?" both Kim and Hyunjin said at the same time looking at each other.
there you go, I just want to go back and lock myself in the room. I cross my arms while scanning the whole area and surely there are many people wanting to try this.
I notice that Hyunjin is fidgeting and moving back and forth but still act like he's cool, on the other hand Kim has been talking continuously telling how nervous and scared she is. Well if you're scared you can just back out.
"it's our turn! aaaa!" Krystal scream when we are about to enter the haunted house. While I just feel nothing except annoyance because I can't be beside Hyunjin and pretend I'm scared! Do you get what I mean? like I can intentionally go closer to him because I'm scared.
But now I can't because Kim is already clinging on his arms like he's not married to me and they're just close friend! It's Krystal clinging on my arm tightly right now.
"AAAHH!" my eardrum is about to break because of how loud these both people are when someone passed by or surprise us. The path is getting narrower and darker, only red lights and blue lights.
"Hyunjin!I'm scared" I glance at my back to see both of them, I almost laugh when I saw that Hyunjin look so scared right now! he's trying to contain his voice even you can see that he wanted to scream his heart out.
"run!!" Krystal scream when someone behind us started to chase us along the way, Krystal run as fast as she could while I follow her. After a few more run I run out breath and pant, I look around to check them but I didn't saw anyone. The chase was on purpose huh?
Even though we're all separated I can still hear Krystal and Kim screaming
*blag*
"ouch!" It's Hyunjin, he look at me in the eyes and he's really scared right now. He bump me from behind maybe because he's been running for a while now.
"are you al--ohh..okay" I didn't finish asking him because he quickly cling to my arm and put himself closer to me. The gods might felt pity on me that's why they made us separated and Hyunjin is now with me. Thankyou!
we started walking in the dark and he's now screaming his heart out every ghost passed us by
"this is scary! why you didn't tell me sooner?" he shouted while burying his face on my neck to avoid looking everywhere
"you didn't ask, you just agreed didn't give me the chance to explain what Krystal is talking about" I laugh after I said that, he's almost hugging me right now and his hands are cold
"aren't you scared?" he ask me
"nah, just stay close to me so you wouldn't get lost again and be scared haha" I decided to hold his hand right now and we're now walking while holding our hands, he's still close to me.
"what's that?!" he shouted when a spider was thrown at us
"that's a spider toy haha!" he glare at me but still didn't let go of my hand. Our situation right now is so funny because I'm actually smiling right now while he's shouting, looking around and scared. This must be heaven! he's so soft right now again, you will feel like you wanted to protect him from anything and he's being himself, not suppressing his emotions.
"finally! Krystal this is your fault!" Kim said, we're now all safe and sound at the exit while I'm still laughing because of how they all look.
"at least we have fun right? but how come both of you are still together?" Krystal asks us trying to catch her breath
"must be the gods" I jokingly said to her, she just roll her eyes and drink some water. Hyunjin still didn't try to let go of my hand when we got out, he looks like he's been traumatized.
I wipe away his sweat on his forehead as well on his neck. Why he still looks so fine? is this really my husband? are you for real?
I didn't notice that Hyunjin pulled me along with him to go deep in the garden where there's no people. Without a word and without a thought he suddenly wrap is arms around my waist and slowly pull me into a tight hug.
I couldn't react quickly, my lips aren't planning to move any moment, my body just automatically wrap my arms around his neck and responded to his hug.
All I know and feel right now is he's really comfortable and sensing he wanted to do this. It's the first time I didn't blush in his sudden gesture to me even this is worthy of blushing myself out. I couldn't, it's just a calm, light atmosphere right now while the wind is brushing on my skin
few more minutes he bury his face on my shoulder while still holding my waist, he's not talking and I don't know what to say either and I'm still searching what I can ask him. I just pat his back and pull him more closer.
all I can think right now is I'm sorry to myself..I failed..
