           ☾˟    ━━━   .   .       even though she wants to pretend that she doesn’t, seul knows exactly why he’s uttered such sorry words from his lips, and it makes her heart break a little.  for the first time in what seems like years, she’s allowed into a crowd, allowed to celebrate her mother’s birthday with her but in her own excitement, it seems she’s forgotten the aches of another.  she doesn’t want to be this kind of person.

“ if i could turn back time, i would.” seul mumbles to him, her hands clasped and folded beneath her top.  she doesn’t quite meet minjun’s eyes, for if he looked into them, he’d see the storm brewing there.  if she could, she’d entreat the king to reconsider, but this isn’t her place and he’s already chosen.  ( she’s still considering doing it anyway, just because she’s seen the sorrow in minjun’s eyes and the way miyoung breaks. )  “ but you should make the time that you have last.  shouldn’t you?”

in his extravagant robes and perfectly styled hair and fancy accessories, in the midst of the party, stands a boy-- his expression is bored, mouth turned down with a lazy contempt.

he never did like attending things like this-- not that he held any ill intent whatsoever. it was just so terribly boring.

he stands stock still among the festivies, although he does have to admit that they did a fantastic job of livening the atmosphere. after all-- it wasn’t their fault that he was so hard to please. but all in all, he blends in among everyone else ( mostly, because he’s been warned more than once before this evening approached, to behave... it’s not a word often used in his vocabulary. but he’d promised to try. )

and inha almost startles at the voice that speaks up near his shoulder, head turning with an ungraceful jerk, unbefitting of the title he wore. ( but did he care, particularly? no. the answer is no. ) his eyebrow arches and there’s a glint of mischief in those eyes that seem twice as sparkling as before, the previously flat and dull irises lit up. the corners of his lips tug up at the corners as he regards the other man, his tone cordial but laced with a boyish playfulness.

Despite being surrounded by her beloved siblings and the rest of their relative, occasions like did make her seem a bit lost, in lack of better words. It reminds her that she was just another pawn in the chessboard of life and unlike her siblings, who she shared a father and king with. She no longer had a mother or her true brother. 

Repressing a sad sigh, instead, she offers the man a polite smile. “The palace seems a lot more alive and less intimidating.” Jiyoo’s gentle voice carrying off in a sing-song manner of speaking, “I guess it seems rather unrecognizable like this.” 

━  ♞  @dalminjun 、  𝟎𝟎𝟏 ⋮ THE QUEEN MUNJEONG’S BIRTHDAY .

“do you think so?” stars scatter between dark hues ; amazement rolling amongst them as she gazes on wistfully at the performers taking center stage in the middle of the room. the room, amidst it’s busyness, slows slightly as the music strikes a different tune and the dancers get into position. the performance is different than anything she’s ever seen – much different than the way yayue moved. beautifully made fans glinting beneath bright lights.

it’s all so mesmerizing that ruihan can barely understand why the other would say such a thing. if anything, it was just enough.

Amusement filled Hyunsoo’s eyes when he heard the question and whether it was because he didn’t expect it or for another reason, he found himself smiling freely at the other.  He couldn’t even remember how their conversation went to the high general’s name and how Hyunsoo thought he held some power but he wasn’t complaining.  

It wasn’t a lie, he might not be as high as his father but being a high general meant something.  Of course, the thought of using his name had never passed through Hyunsoo’s head until now and looking around the room, he found himself shrugging his shoulders.

It was a strange question in his opinion but he found himself thinking about the answer.  “If I was younger, I would have used it to intimidate my peers but now, I don’t think I have any reason to use your name.” He truthfully told the younger as he looked back at him and offering the other a polite smile, he hoped that was the answer the other wanted.

alas a smirk blooming instead on the rosy pout of the intellectual —a bat of those pretty lashes the other wanted so much to see down to the floor, rather teasingly reaching for the other instead as the head tilted and the gat almost looked like darkened halo above him ; byulyi was beauty at its true finest, there was no denial in that, not even when he remained oh so poised, oh so polite in his stance, the little quips only to be left ambiguous, unreadable.

his eyes would look where attention was called, may it be a little thing trying to run away from a party far from interesting, a stiffened prince unfit for the glamour and the constant pouring of soju and yes —even the tremor of a king who couldn’t seem to keep his right hand away, poor thing, poor thing.

he was falling like a little grain of dried wheat against a whisp of wind.

( it was known, it was visible. )

( THE GRAND WEDDING )STATUS: idk anymore closed(?)

the stature of maintaining an immaculate look held its own prestige, it was a wedding after all. regardless of one’s disposition had not mattered, either way, you need to look good for it. taejun opted a quick shift and examined his younger brother, taking all the details of the other’s attire in. making sure to not miss any slight feature. it actually complimented well with the younger’s tall frame, though hands reaching forth to adjust the velvety robe afore giving minjun a final look. 

“dashing, i’d say” opting a slight grin afterwards, somehow deep down he found the latter to be rather good looking. which laid an actuality for all of the jeon siblings, really. “you’re ready to charm hearts,”
