“there is someone i want you to meet at today’s wedding celebration yul.”

that was what his father had told him as they left their estate today and yul could only think that he wanted him to meet some important friend of his-- maybe even someone in the royal family that he had yet to meet. either way yul knew his purpose for the evening, he was there as his father’s support, to be his father’s bragging right-- his father wanted to brag and show off his son. wearing his formal light blue duramagi, with dark blue sleves and a red thread tied around his stomach he had headed out with his father.

after giving their greetings to the bride and groom, yul found himself looking around the estate-- people observing as he walked after his father.

"state count official jeon. this is my son, ahn yul.”

yul’s father nudged him to come forward and yul sharpedned his senses as he stepped up beside his father, greeting the man with a formal bow, when he looked up yul noticed  that there was someones standing beside him, a female, if he wasn’t mistaken it was official jeon’s youngest child and his only daughter. the words his father had spoken before they left rang, clear as day in his head-- ah.

“yes.” she answered truthfully, innocently blinking up at her eldest brother.

for it has been far too long since she has been in the presence of her much older brother, particularly after he moved out of their family home to start his own family with his beautiful wife. she could not help but to act like an impertinent child when in the presence of her brothers, and with such a large age gap seulhye felt like a child more so in front of taejun than her other brothers.

“i missed you brother,” a small pout, a thoughtful pause before continuing – only half joking. “i’m going to follow you everywhere tonight!”

for time had waltz ever so airily, as if it were a petal that flowed by the wind.

and for he was slightly abashed by the younger’s remark. it was due to the fact that the taller had not been expecting for seulhye to be answering in such manner. had it been that long? as the question lingered back and forth inside the corners of taejun’s mind, almost bouncing around as he noted his dear sisters’ delicate features. it must be, suddenly recalling that both siblings had seldom met if the former ever visited the family manor.

it’s early in the night, still. there’s plenty of hands to shake, and plenty of smiles to give, but there are faces that are fairly new, honed by age or distance, or perhaps by the virtue of newness. either way, this particular person catches his eye in the way that he suspects she does for everyone. beautiful people are no strangers to the crown prince; he looks for the exceptional in the ones who don’t try to hide it. the bold ones, who know that they are gleaming in this steaming heap of snakes.

but he doesn’t follow her, no; he’s following an opportunity.

he had been on his way back to stand by his father’s side again when he was almost stopped in his tracks by a young lady, observing her posture and the way she carried herself he figured she was lady seulhye whom he had heard many interesting things about the last couple of months– he himself had only talked with her a little, formalities if anything. however yul had been taken back by her direct approach, he didn’t know her that well and she certainly didn’t know him. the only thing they knew was what family they were from, she was the youngest daughter of the state offical jeon, the youngest with three older brothers.

to the outside world– if they matched up, it would be a sight set for sore eyes, visual perfection some would probably dare say.

“lady seulhye,” he slowly and respectfully bowed at her as a greeting, “like can be so many things, if you mean that i like your appearance– then yes i do, i don’t know you well enough to like you beyond that but don’t you think we should change that?”

yul felt his father’s watchful eyes for a moment as he was talking to seulhye, his eyes met his father’s and it was like his father told him to court her– but that wasn’t his style, much to his father’s frustrations.
