He moved smoothly over the floor, eyes never leaving yours as he turned. He was good at it and you became captivated by him. You wondered who he was, from which family he came. A hand rested on your lower back but it still held respect for your boundaries and sometime when the music turned mellow, you realized that he wasn't a royal, he couldn't be with the gentleness and place of his hands. 

“Who are you?” the question hung thick in the air, making him smile a little more. The man just shook his head, bringing you closer to him. You could smell something refreshing, like apples, of him but also the deep richness of work outside. 

“I’m no-one..”he spoke so smoothly, almost childlike in his undertone. You tried finding marks on his face, anything which could lead you to him after this night. 

“I don't think so..”you peered up at him, his height tall but not intimating. All too soon came the music to a stop. 

People around you bowed to each other, drunkenly laughter breaking out between them. You stared at the stranger, whom had moved you gracefully over the floor. He smiled back at you, turning to walk away the second after. 

“Wait!” but the broad back disappeared through the mass, his head melting into others. Your shoes refused to bare you through the crowd, almost falling over a duke’s big feet. 

Heels smacked against the floor, hands struggling to bare all the lilac skirts you had on. You moved forward but it seemed he disappeared through thin air, like he never existed. Pushing the grand entry doors open, you found yourself staring up at a full moon, grasshoppers playing natures music for you. It was beautiful but no stranger could be found, you were alone. 

The man on the other hand watched you with pain in his eye. He no longer wore the mask, doe eyes open wide. He stared at you, drinking the sight you were on top of the stairs. Jungkook was happy, finally getting what he always wanted, a dance with you. 

“I’m sorry lady..”turning, the boy left so he could be home before anyone noticed, before you came home.

“Anyone you fancied at the party?” your mother grinned with a school girls excitement to gossip. She still wore ball gowns, even when you were home at the mansion, still wrapped up in the lavishness of duke Herold. 

“Actually there was someone..But I didn't learn his name..” she seemed surprised, skirts fluffing around her as she sat on your bed.

“What do you mean?”

“He came and asked for a dance but never said his name”you regretted it, not learning who he was. His mouth and eyes had been etched onto your mind for the last seven days.

“That’s strange..”your mother pondered for a while, name after name popping up in her mind.She soon got a headache. “Whatever..Let’s go for a picnic..Your father is gone anyways”

Jungkook had a hard time looking at you, embarrassment and hurt mixing everytime. He was in glee for the dance but greed had started to make him want more. Your warmth, your love, something he never could have. 

“Stable boy!” Jungkook almost screamed at the sudden voice of the main lady and he barely kept standing at the sight of you. You looked even more beautiful when the sun kissed your cheeks. A blush crept over his cheeks when you caught his eyes.”Prepare two horses!”

He was fast gone after a yes my lady, Jungkook had never been so swift with getting two horses ready. Carefully was he leading them out, avoiding your gaze the best he could. He was extremely shy and after having been close to you, it all got worse. 

“Thank you” your mother was already on her away from the stable when you address him with that killing smile of yours, birds flying high over Jungkooks head at it. 

“It is my duty lady” you tensed slightly because you could have sworn that his voice was dripping in honey like the stranger who had swept you of your feet.

Purple cascade flowers covered miles of untouched lands, lands which you loved being in. They brought you peace and smelled wonderful. Here could you be alone and not a lady of class, just a person like everyone else. You smiled down at the flowers, not noticing the other person who gazed at you with longines. Jungkook thought you fit right in with flowers and there purple colors. He knew he shouldn't have followed you but when he saw you sneak away, Jungkook just had to go with you. He remember the first time his eyes landed on you, how you had blossoms of lilac in your hair, how bright your eyes were. He shouldn't have fallen for you but who couldn't? Jungkook sighed, he was so close, yet so far. Maybe he could live with being the prince of your dreams? Maybe he could live with being only a dream.  

“Lady!” Jungkook ran to you fast, his eyes wide. You had fallen down a ditch, filled with grass and the lilac. Coming to the edge, he saw you with a head full of green. Hoisting you up, Jungkook was worried. You on the other hand could burst out laughing if it weren't for the soft scent of apples and work. A gasp made Jungkook let you go like you had burnt him.

“You’re him!” your eyes blew open when you saw doe eyes. He was the one that night and he had been right under your nose!

“What are you talking about my lady?” Jungkook felt his face burn as you stared at him.”Did you hit your head?”

This time couldn't you contain the bubbly feeling of glee which pressed in your chest, resulting in a fit of laughter. You felt light in the moment and wanted for Jungkook to feel the same way, for his frown to fly away. Hands found each other, Jungkooks heart almost exploded at how soft your fingers were against his rugged once. You started to move in a wide circle, remebering the ball dance which weren't close to as fun as now. You ran with Jungkook, flying over clouds when his laugher mixed into yours. The movements of both you became wild and you soon were lifted up into the sky, head falling backwards and arms like wings. Jungkook grinned wide at you in his arms, at the bliss which were dancing with sunlight on your face. He felt good, he felt great. You attacked him with a hug, burning the apples scent he carried in your nose.

“Why did you leave?”

“You deserve better than me..”it hurt you hearing him saw those words because who could be better than your actual love.

“No...I deserve you and you deserve me...Please don't let go again..”the rapid pace both of you had slowed down to standing still, arms lingering around bodies. 

“I’m sorry my lady but I’m just a stable boy..” Jungkook paid attention to every little detail of this moment so he would never forget how it was to hold you under the blue. 

“You’re human like me..You stole my heart Jungkook, please treat it well”

“You know my name?” it was a shocking fact Jungkook never thought could be true. 

“Of course..I remember your first day, how you had a cute bunny smile”your words made red sting on his cheeks, embracing him, making you smug.

“My lady..” things turned serious as Jungkook spoke, searching in your eyes to find the dreams end.

“My love…”

“Love?”

“Yes..”his fingers wandered over your face, careful and delicate. 

“Love”

“Love”the word came again and Jungkook felt his heart swell with hope, painful burning hope.
