As the Crown Prince he needed to attend the royal meetings to discuss important information. He was first in line to be the King. Jun-pyo hated meetings. The political talk bored him to death. All he could think about was getting out of that stuffy room to go for a walk. Without thinking about it, he couldn’t stand a minute longer and stood up from his chair, the legs screeching across the wood floor. Without saying a word he walked out of the room. Meeting adjourned. Jun walked outside into the sunshine and enjoyed its warmth. He walked down a path and looked out over one of the magical gardens in Aina and said to the person nearest him, “Its a beautiful day isn’t it?”

It was the middle of the night, the moon high in the star filled sky. He stood on a boardwalk near the ocean front, staring off into the horizon. The only light was that which came from the bright and full moon. The wind rustled the bushes, palm leaves swaying with the breeze. The night was a bit cooler than it had been lately. Foster leaned up against the railing, his mind wandering back to better times. Footsteps in the distance caught his attention, and without turning his gaze in their direction, he spoke, his voice cold and distant. “It’s quite late out... One could catch their death out here.” 

Minho was walking around the new palace of Crown Prince Boram Park. Since they had just moved to Aina he needed to get the layout down so that he could protect his prince. Minho took his position as a guardian very seriously. When he found himself on a path surrounded by plants and flowers he assumed he was in the royal garden of the palace. Minho didn’t realize that how far he had walked, and that he was actually in a main garden area now, not just the palace’s private garden. It was late at night, so probably not the best time to be wandering, but he assumed they were safe from the Mists so he wasn’t worried. When he heard footsteps in the distance, he suddenly felt worried as he couldn’t see who it was. “Who’s there? Show yourself!” 

YeongJae had just finished his workout at the gym. He hated cardio, but he did it anyways. Lifting weights was more his thing because it gave variation and he could switch up his workouts every day. He had just showered at the gym and was leaving the locker room, a small white towel draped around his neck to catch the water that dripped off his hair. He wore navy blue sweat pants and a grey hoodie and Nike slide sandals. After grabbing his Nike duffel bag he headed to the front of the gym and opened the door to leave. His eyes were not yet used to the bright sunlight from outside so for a moment he was blinded by the sun and bumped into someone as he left. “Oh my god, I am so sorry! Are you okay?” 

While he wasn’t one to normally indulge, especially not over indulge, Boram somehow found himself having one too many drinks. There was some kind of outdoor party near the beach, a lit up platform for dancing in the center of the event where many people danced the night away. He had gone for a walk when he stumbled upon the gathering, which was welcoming to any and all. At first he planned to only have one or two drinks and people watch, but the more he watched, the more he drank, and before he knew it he was in a little deeper than planned. Funky beats blasted from the stereo as alcohol pumped through veins; Boram found himself in the center of the dance floor dancing with people he didn’t now. 

“You are someone else... I am still right here.” The words echoed in the mind of Ryu Minjae. He shook his head, pale pink locks following suit. Though he had been in Aina for quite some time, he really missed home. His true home, South Korea, not Japan. Minjae had taken the position as a healer for Prince Eiji Suzuki of Japan, and in doing so had left behind the only woman who agreed to a second date. His parents had tried desperately to find him a suitable match, but most women weren’t interested after meeting him. Though he found her smile cute and her all around attitude to be adorable, Minjae knew something was missing. He sighed, his thoughts elsewhere, as he walked down a garden path in Aina. The flora and fauna always eased his mind. His gaze was down at his feet, and since he wasn’t watching where he was going he bumped into someone along the path. “O-Oh, e-excuse me...” He mumbled, heat rising to his face.
