FLOWERS for @quaintrellesm
He fixes his ties for the umpth time that night , not a hair out of place. Arthur Wang sighed as he looked at his reflection for the last time just as Lancelot poked his head and told him that his father was waiting for him outside. He kept his head up high , his posture picture perfect as the feeling of familiarity seep into his bones. It had been years , it’s been too long since he had been in a event such as this. But he had kept himself calm and collected like he was expected to be. This was a norm to the world that he was born in after all.
The ballroom was decorated exquisitely , familiar and unfamiliar faces greets him as he and his father walked in ; all eyes were on them ------ where on him. ❝ Smile son , this is your soirée . ❞ and smile he did. He had almost forgotten that this was his party. A party to welcome back the ‘prodigal son’ and heir of Millefiore whom had been away abroad for years to study. Or so everyone thought. Nobody knew that it was nothing but a lie , a cover to keep his true whereabouts from outside of his family. Arthur never left South Korea , not even out of Seoul. And no expected him to pose as a middle class man who runs a modest flowershop in a small neighborhood in the heart of Insa-dong where he lived until tonight.
His face felt numb from smiling all night , greeting business partners , investors and affiliates. Arthur felt drained , exhausted ------ this is one part of their lifestyle that he hadn’t missed. Dark hues roams around the ballroom , lips pressed on the rim of the champagne flute that had been sitting in his hands far too long. Yes , this is his world. No matter how long he had pretended otherwise.
Arthur sighed , was looking around once again when he saw her. Suddenly he felt like he couldn’t breathe , cold seeping into his bones as his heart pounded against his chest. He hadn’t expected to see her there. He didn’t even think that he’ll see her at all.
Seungha. Sweet Seungha.
He kept his eyes ono her , not wanting to lose sight of her. A small melancholic smile appeared on his lips. She changed , she changed alot ; he almost didn’t recognized her. She’s a grown adult now , more beautiful since the last time that he had seen her and no doubt angry at him as well. Guilt gripped his chest as he stares at her , he had been cruel ----- so cruel to leave without saying anything. To disappear from her without any word. Even if it was for her own good. But now seeing her there , he finally has the chance to be with her. And he knew that he has a shit ton of grovelling to do , and he’s prepared for it. Her justifiable anger is worth it if it means that she’ll give him a chance to be a part of her life once again. Arthur sighed ,
and then their eyes met.
