Fuyu's pov

"I'm sorry for being late" I said, as I entered inside the room. Everyone's eyes were on me making me feel nervous.

"It's alright Fuyu" My father said.

My brothers, the prime minister, Byeol and there were other two people which I recognised them as the emperor and the crown princess of the Beom empire were already seated in their place.

"Greetings to your majesty and crown princess" I bowed down to pay my respects. The crown princess stood up and walked towards me.

"You don't need to be so formal with us Unnie, you can just call me Yeona and call that guy whatever you want" she said, pointing at her brother.

"Uh sure Yeona" I smiled nervously because her brother was shooting holes at Yeona.

"Great, now come sit with me" she said, pulling me towards the table and made me sit down beside her brother.
Oh great!

"Now that she came, can we eat?" Jungkook asked.

"Alright" my father said. We all started to dig into the dishes which were on the table.

"Yoongi hyung, why didn't Taehyung come?" Hoseok asked.

"He was supposed to come but then he didn't want to leave his wife alone" Yoongi replied, with a bored expression.

"He's still whipped for his wife" Yeona added, making us laugh.

"Remember when he hid his wife from us when we visited your palace. He told us that his wife like guys who are good looking" Jungkook said, his words slurred because he drank too much.

"Yeah, he wouldn't let us greet her too" Namjoon said. Everyone was talking about this particular guy and I don't know who the heck Taehyung' is. So all I did was just stared at the emperor who's sitting beside me. Pale skin, cat-like features and his long black hair. He was wearing purple and black robes. Why does every guy I meet in this world is so handsome and gorgeous?!

"Fuyu? My dear?" My father called out.

"Yes father?"

"Why don't you play the gayageum?" He said. Play what?...

"Uh..sure dad" I hesitated.

The servants brought the instrument and I'm so clueless on how to play it. I sat behind it, placing my hands on the strings of the instrument and I just pulled some strings creating a weird tune.

"Sorry for that, I was just warming up" I laughed nervously.

I remembered that the previous princess used to be well-versed in music meanwhile I suck at playing with any instruments except singing. I closed my eyes, trying to think something. Should I just faint? Or excuse myself?

Suddenly my hands start to move, pulling the strings making a pleasant tune which surprised the heck of me.

I finished the song with a low tune. What the heck was that? That wasn't me playing it...it was like someone was controlling my hands.

"That was an amazing performance!!" My father applauded. I smiled, bowing my head down and went back to my place.

"I also want do a performance!" Yeona said, her cheeks was tinted with bright red shade. Yup she's very drunk...

"I want to show you my famous swordfight" she claimed.

"NO!" Her brother and my brothers yelled.

"Uh why?" She pouted.

"You might end up breaking stuff so let's save it for tomorrow" Yoongi said.

"Okieee" she said in a cute way that made me go soft.

"This old man will return to his chamber and you kids have fun" My father said getting up from his seat.

"Have a good night father" I said.

"Good night, my little princess" he said, patting my head and I cringed at that nickname. Please. Don't. Call. Me. Little Princess!!

Once he left, I popped a bottle open and drank from it.

"Fuyu!! That's really a strong one" Namjoon said, but I didn't care and drank the whole bottle.

"Now who's ready to play a game?!" I asked, rubbing my hands.

"Me!" Jungkook said.

"Me too!" Yeona replied after him.

"I'm in" Byeol said excitedly.

"I guess I'll play" Hoseok hesitated.

"I'll play" Namjoon said.

I stared at the person who's sitting beside me.

"So are you gonna play or not?" I asked him in informal tone and he was slightly taken aback.

"It depends on which game" he replied.

"It's Samyukgu" I grinned.

[Samyukgu (3-6-9) is known as the Korean version of 7-up. In Korean, sam means 3, while yuk and gu means 6 and 9 respectively. So instead of the usual 7, you'll have to skip any number with multiples of 3 with a clap or by saying "ppib-ppo" if they say any of these numbers, they will have to drink or get a penalty]

Time skip

"19!"

"20"

*claps*

"22!"

"23!"

*claps*

"25"

"26!"

*claps*

"27- Ugh! Not again!" Jungkook whined.

"Haha! You have to drink again" I said, pouring the liquid in his cup.

"See that's why you're always a loser" Byeol teased him.

"Excuse me lady?! What did you just say?" Jungkook asked, being offended by her remark.

"Didn't you hear me? I said you are a loser! L-O-S-E-R" Byeol snapped back at him.

Everyone laughed except Jungkook who was pouting. Even Yoongi chuckled and smiled which made my heart skip a beat. He was more gorgeous when he smiled.

"Should I tell everyone about your tiny crush on someone?" He smirked. Byeol has a crush?

"You wouldn't dare!" She glared at him, but her face was red as tomato.

"Oh try me" he sassily said.

"Hwang Byeol has a crush on someone who's from this palace! His name is" Before Jungkook could complete his words, he was knocked out by Byeol.

"Eh! Tell us the guy's name" Hoseok asked.

"Would you like me to knock you out like I did with him?" She smiled sweetly.

"Uh good night! I have to help Namjoon to his chamber" he said, getting up and pulled Namjoon up.

"Did you know that there is a mate for everyone? It is that when they kiss each other, a tattoo would appear on the back of their neck" Namjoon said, his body swaying and hands going everywhere.

"Don't listen to him, he tends to say some random things when he's drunk" Hoseok said.

"Let's go" He said, pulling his brother out of the room.

"I'm gonna take this stupid pig to his chamber" Byeol said, easily lifting Jungkook who's twice her size.

"Yeona, you gotta stop drinking" Yoongi took her cup away.

"One more cup?" She said, raising one finger.

"Nope" he shook his head.

"Pretty please?" She begged him.

"I'm not gonna say yes so get up" he said, being so done with his sister. Yeona wasn't moving from her seat, So I felt like I had to do something.

"Yeona, it's already late. Don't we have to get rest and tomorrow we can visit the places you wanted go?" I asked.

"Even the restaurant I talked about?"

"Yes" I nodded.

"Okay!" She said, getting up. She wobbled and lost her footing but Yoongi caught her from face planting on the floor.

"Thank you Princess" he said, supporting Yeona.

"Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun" Yeona beamed.

"I'm glad" I said, smiling at them.

"I better get going" He said.

"Yeona, can you walk?" He asked her, who was leaning onto his shoulder. But she seems to be asleep, he sighed and carried his sister in his arms. I walked along with him to the gate where his carriage is waiting.

"Good night your majesty" I bowed down.

"Good night princess" he said, before getting into the carriage with his sister. After the carriage left my sight, I went back to my palace and entered into my chamber, greeted by my maids.

"So how does he looks like, your highness?" Minji asked me, as she detangled my long hair. Yubi and Yuri eagerly waiting for my answer.

"He's not that bad, he's gentle unlike the rumours" I told them.

"Really?" They asked me.

I nodded.

I've observed him all the night and he was nothing close to what the rumours said. He was smiling and laughing all the time when we joked around and played the game. I also didn't miss the look he had when he was carrying Yeona. Eventhough he acts like he hates his sister, I could see love and affection towards her in his eyes.

"Now you're all set to sleep" she said, as she removed all the makeup off my face. Ah finally! I'm going to get my beauty sleep. I will not wake up until tomorrow afternoon!

"And one more thing, your highness. General Hwang told me to relay a message to you" Minji said.

"Hmm what is it?" I said, sitting on the bed.

"Your training starts at 4 in the morning"

"Huh? 4 in the morning?!! Even roosters don't wake up at 4!" I groaned, falling back onto the bed. It's already twelve and I only have less than four hours to sleep...

"Fine, wake me up at 3:30" I said, waving them off.

"Sure, your highness" they all bowed down and exited out of the chamber.

I covered myself with the blanket and shut my eyes closed, drifted off to a deep slumber, dreaming about a certain guy.
