Author’s Note: I wanted to write this after I saw Seungmin in gayo daejun, he looked like a prince, then I saw an edit and couldn’t stop myself from writing. Also here's a playlist I actually made while writing this hehe

I saw her walking down the stairs, I could recognize her even in masquerade, her black masquerade mask perfectly hiding her, but her eyes were saying something to me. Her black eyes, which looked like they held my whole universe, her ruby lips, calling me over again. Her beautiful black-maroon gown with a boat neck, her collarbone looking the prettiest. Her red jewelry on her making her look more elegant, my forbidden fruit.

I started walking, and she was coming down, carefully. her black heels were visible. She just looked perfect. Everyone was looking at me, this masquerade ball party is for me. Today is the day I was waiting since the day I fell in love with her and promised her to make her mine. She looked at me and smiled gracefully.

She was finally standing in front of me, I asked for her hand, and she gave it to me, with her smile. I kissed her hand, took her to the center of the ballroom. The music started playing, I kept her hand on my shoulder and pulled her closer by her waist. She looked surprised, “You look so beautiful my love” I leaned to her and whispered at her.

She was looking down, I lifted her chin and made her look at me. She smiled at me, but her eyes searching for something inside me, as if she wanted to tell me something… something big but I was unable to understand her. She was being different, for the first time she didn’t tell me ‘she can’t be with me’ today instead she gave herself in.

We were swaying in the music of the piano, I wanted to enjoy all the moments while I am being her side, who know what will happen next, “thank you so much” she replied and looked at me with another smile, which looked pain...painful.

“Please let me enjoy today and you’re free to love me in your way today.” She said and spun her around. “You asked for it, love”

This time her smile was genuine as if she wanted to tell me, she’s accepting she will be with me. The lights dimmed all over the hall, and I looked at her. She was looking pretty even in the dim lights, it reminded me of how we met, she was practicing her dance for the lantern rite festival, and she was almost about to die by the hand’s soldiers of different kingdom. She was that one fierce lady out of the people who wanted to take those soldiers down, her bravery almost sent her to the heaven. She was saved after my soldiers came there for rescue, who knew we would meet in the market when I dressed as a commoner and sneaked out of the kingdom and almost got caught but she covered up for me.

After that we started meeting, who knew I would fall in love with a lady full of arts, she told me once, twice and then I shut her up everytime, she said she can’t fall in love but she fell, and we can’t be together.

I smiled at her reminiscing our memories, “why are you smiling?” she asked

“I was thinking about us, today you’re here dancing with me.” she looked down again,

“Seungmin…”

“Yes?”

“Kiss me.” she looked at me, “Kiss me, make me yours” she said it.

Her cold hands touched my cheeks, she tip toed and I leaned closer to her holding her cheeks, caressing her a bit and smashed my lips on her, that kiss said it all, how much I longed for it. Her hands resting on my shoulders, and I pulled her closer. Her hands went to rest on my shoulder, we were moving on sync because we were longing for eachother, I could taste her tears which were streaming down her cheeks, I was wiping them off with my thumb and telling her it’s okay. We pulled apart and smiled at each other.

“I love you”

“I love you too, more than you can imagine Seungmin, you mean more than my own life, I can give up on my own life because of you, because your existence and smile mean the whole world to me.” I smiled at her, she has no idea how much her words meant to me, I was waiting for this day when she would accept me and tell me that she loves me. Everything I wanted is happening today, I would tell the world she is mine and kiss her in front of everyone.

She turned around, hurriedly and held my shoulder tight, I looked at her and she tried smiling at me, very weakly. I felt my hand getting wet, the ones which were resting on her waist.

“Maria?”

She was holding my shoulder as if she will fall if she lets go of me, I looked at my hand, which was on her waist, it full of blood, red fluid flowing down her waist.

“MARIA?” I screamed, she was about to fall, I held her by her waist and we fell on the floor. I looked around there were many people who were dancing together with smiles.

“STOP THIS AND CLOSE ALL THE ENTRACES. NO ONE SHOULD GET OUT OF THIS CASTLE. THIS IS MY ORDER.” Everyone stopped whatever they were doing.

“YES YOUR HIGHNESS”

She was in my arms, “I told you, we can’t be together.”

“Stop, I won’t let you go anywhere, I will find whoever did this to you.” I was trying not to cry, never did I imagined this.

“I told you I can give up on my life for you, but you have to live. I am an assassin and the youngest princess of Marengo Kingdom Prince Seungmin and I was here to destroy your whole kingdom by killing you, but I couldn’t, I couldn’t because I fell in love with you and understood that whatever happened to our kingdom wasn’t your fault but they weren’t at fault as well. What happened in past, they were wronged and people died; how am I supposed to choose my own happiness when my own people who believed me; I will take the revenge one day? How am I supposed to be happy when I saw my people dying infront of me, crying in misery because they lost their family. How could I betray my own motherland and be happy here with you? I want peace, your highness. I never brought our ranks when we were together and accepted you just the way you accepted me but today, I request you to do justice and bring peace and I will be happy. Your highness please grant me my request.”

“How could you… do this? WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?I loved you…. I still love you. Please stay with me. I will do everything for you, everything.”

“I love you, but my duty as a princess comes first… please understand” she brought her hand to trace my cheeks, she caressed my cheeks. “I loved you with all of me, thankyou for showing me happiness and a world I wished to live in. Please be happy” my tears started falling down, I can’t let her go, she’s my everything.

“I’m really very happy today, do you know why?” she was crying, she was in pain and I was unable to do anything. “I saved you, today is the day, everything was supposed to end but how am I supposed to sit still and watch you die infront of my eyes, I can’t do that. You know right? Love? Who in this world would see her lover die infornt of her, I knew they were here so… this is my answer to them.” her breathing became heavy.

“Did you think about me? how will I live without you?” I chocked on my own tears, this was paining, everything was painful.

“You can, because I love you…” those were the final words before her hand fell down.

“NO!!!”

“Maria, maria wake up please, talk to me.” I was shaking her body but she never responded to me. everything felt so cold, why am I alone freezing, I am just left alone to cry.

“YOUR HIGHNESS, MARENGO KINGDOM DECLARED A WAR.” I heard our General say.

“WE ARE GETTING READY FOR THE WAR TELL EVERYONE.” I declared, unable to forget Maria’s request. “AND WE WILL SAY GOODBYE TO PRINCESS MARIA WITH FULL RESPECT” if only she knew how much it was paining, how did my ending turn to this, how did she leave me alone like this.

“I loved you and will love you Maria, I won’t let our love go in vain like this.” I kissed her forehead…

I was done with the journals I had to read for my seminar, I kept everything on my desk and was about to sleep. I checked the time, it 11:55pm, I sighed I wanted to sleep early today, I am so tired. I switched off all the lights and kept my phone. I just closed my eyes, and my phone started ringing, and I saw my bestfriend, no matter how much I wanted to pick up and talk to her but I had no strength at all and why is she suddenly calling me at almost…….. 12 am? after it stopped ringing, I switched off my phone and slept.

I heard the birds chirping and the sunlight was peaking at me, I stretched my body and looked at the time, it was 10:30 am I slept for too long, thank god, I don’t have classes today. I got freshen up and switched on my phone. I went to kitchen thinking what to cook today, I was thinking if I could take a day off from sns today, sometimes I just get a headache, it’s better off the way I get inactive from everywhere and ghost people, of course except him. If I ghost him, he will get so worried, I don’t want him to get worried because of me, I started playing songs and saw messages from my bestfriend were coming, I decided to see it later and started making toast, I was craving for omelets today. After making toast, I switched on the tv and sat with my breakfast, my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller id and it was him, looking at his name, it already made me feel happy and better.

I picked it up “Hello~”

“Love”

“Good morning mingyu”

“Aww good morning baby, what are you doing?”

“Just made breakfast, I woke up a bit late, and I finally completed half journals”

“That’s a good thing, I am coming home, just wanted to check if you’re up or not since it’s a off day. Also we will go out for lunch today, and I don’t want to hear a ‘NO’, okay?”

He never makes sudden plans, I started eating my beloved toast. After completing my breakfast, I kept my phone on the table and went to do the dishes. I was wondering about Mingyu, he sounded so excited, am I missing something or he just wants to go on a date? But why didn’t he tell me about a date earlier? He could’ve informed me earlier, at least I could’ve picked a good dress, now its gonna take forever to pick a dress and he just wants to go out for lunch? Nothing else? I was so into his thoughts, suddenly I heard the doorbell ring. I wiped my hands, since they were wet and went to open the door.

“But-

“I am hanging up, I love you”

There he was standing, holding a big bouquet full of red roses. He looked so soft today, he was wearing a black tee and a coat, he just looked perfect.

I was surprised at this, I took the bouquet from him and hugged him tight, he’s my comfort. “Awww did you miss me?” I nodded in his embrace, I did miss him, yesterday was so tough and hectic for me, our teachers are way too much, they gave us 100-150 journals to complete in two days and we need to study all of them, make presentations and then present it in the seminar and unluckily I am the first one to do, it’s day after tomorrow and I was stressing way too much yesterday, who knew being a post grad student will be this hard; I wanted his comfort yesterday so much, he is that one person who calms me down. Thinking how I had a tough day yesterday I hugged him tighter, he was caressing my back.

“I’m here, now. Let’s go inside” I looked at him and came inside, we sat on the couch, I kept the bouquet on the table, “Thankyou so much for these roses” I smiled at him, he pulled me and made me sit beside him. His sudden moves make my heart beat like crazy, I was so flustered. I was looking at him unable to utter a single word, his fingers traced my cheeks, he was looking at me with those eyes full of love, those lovely eyes which makes me fall in love over and over. He have something, which I can’t deny, I wonder how did this fine boy became mine, it’s our third year dating together and I always ask myself, how did he became mine?

“Ming-

He didn’t let me even finish and kissed me, his soft lips touched mine. It’s not even our first kiss but everytime we kiss, those fluttering feelings stays the same, those butterflies going wild inside me and the soft touch on my lips, calms me down. His soft lips pressed against mine, I closed my eyes and he pulled me closer.

He left me after few seconds, his hand was still on my cheeks, I was looking down, “You know you should actually take some time off, and rest a bit, look at you getting all stressed over everything. I wanted to come yesterday night, when I read your text about that seminar but I couldn’t come because of some work and the assignments I had” I looked at him and hugged him again, “It’s okay, you being here is one of my biggest comfort and I can’t take time off Mingyu, I have to complete the presentation” he was holding my shoulder.

“Oh right, you wanted to take me out for lunch today? Suddenly? Why didn’t you tell me earlier, now I have to find something to wear, it will take a bit of time” I looked at him with my puppy eyes.

“Reminds me, just a second” he got up from the couch, I looked at him, confused, since my warmth was gone, “Where are you going Mingyu?”

“Wait here for a second Aki, you ask too many questions” I eyed him and I saw him going out of my house, my eyes were glued on the door, because I wanted him to come fast, I wanted to spend some time with me, it feels like one of those days where I just crave for his warmth.

I saw him coming with a bag, if I am not wrong, it’s a shopping bag, I was eyeing him. He came to me, “Here, wear this today.” He gave the bag to me, I looked at him weirdly, what’s with this sudden gift? Valentine’s day is already over

“A gift? But why”

I took out the dress, which was inside the bag, it was a pretty white-baby blue dress, it had white dandelions on the dress. I quickly went to change. After changing, I saw the time, he was right it was almost lunch time and he being kim mingyu, he will never mess up his eating timing and won’t let me mess up mine, he always reminds me to eat my meals whenever I forget, which is very common thing between us.  

“Do I need a reason to gift you something? I can do it whenever I want” he leaned closed and pecked my lips. He caught me off guard. “You don’t but…”

“Oh come on, now Aki, go try and we can go out, because it’s almost lunch time, you woke up late doesn’t mean lunch time will wait for you, I am very strict with your eating habits, you’re literally a girl who skips lunch, sometimes breakfast. So, go get changed” his lovely eyes changed to those fake angry and strict eyes, god, look at him. I took the bag and went back to my room, locked it.

I applied very light make up and applied lip tint carefully, looking at the mirror I was thinking about Mingyu, how he always spoils me with everything, takes care of him everytime. I don’t usually hug people but him, his hugs are comforting. I let my hair down and used a bit of perfume, I smiled looking at the mirror. I took my sling bag, wallet and went down, my phone must be downstairs, I remember keeping it on the table before eating breakfast.

I went to the living room and saw him playing with his phone, I walked towards him, he stopped playing games and looked at me, he looked, surprised?

“What happened? I don’t look good?” I asked him and twirled around to show him the pretty dress, he got up from the couch and kissed my forehead, I was surprised “you look perfect my love. Just don’t let anyone steal you from me” I laughed at his words, “Who will steal?”

“Well, we don’t know there are men and I don’t want anyone to take you away from mine” and he again kissed my cheeks, he was just kissing me today everytime he got a chance. He held my hand and we went towards the door, he looked lovely, I locked the door and walked towards his car.

He opened the door and I got in, and he got in to the driver’s seat. “You look really pretty today” I smiled at him, “Awwww” he pinched my cheeks, I slapped his hand away “Don’t do this!”

“I can’t help it, you look so cute and pretty” he just loves to make me smile, blush and annoy me sometimes. “Now let’s go” he said and started driving, he turned on some music, the soft songs which made the atmosphere really very calm and soothing. I was looking outside, the month of February is really beautiful, it feels like the season of love everywhere. The weather looking perfect, cozy and comforting, and feels best when you’re with your loved ones. The sprinkle of love makes everything better, feels like the love is in the air.

Speaking of love, it fills my mind with the idea of Mingyu, yes him. The one I love, and will love till the world ends, I don’t want to watch the world end with someone else, it was the month of February when I actually started realizing slowly that what we had between us was getting more than friendship, how we started caring about eachother a bit more, started finding comfort in eachother, I don’t think I can even lie saying he isn’t my home, he is my home. Saying that a person is their home, means a very big thing, he is that person to me. never thought things would take to me a such a beautiful ending of friendship and starting of such a beautiful thing. I feel at peace knowing he’s with me.

“What are you thinking love?” I snapped out of my mind, “Huh?”

“You look like you’re thinking something and you smiled at times,”

“I was… thinking about…. Us… how… everything…” he suddenly kissed me, my eyes widen at his sudden move, after he moved back I looked outside and sighed. “What did you think? I would kiss you while driving?”

“YOU” he started laughing so bad, I am so done with this guy. “Sometimes you think too much about us, now let’s go and have lunch, we already reached.” I opened the door and came outside, wind blew and I shivered, I realized I forgot to bring my coat, which I kept on my bed. I felt something warm on me, I looked at him, he covered me with a coat, “you left it at my house last time you visited” I remembered, I hurriedly went for my class as soon as I completed eating, that night was a mess as well as comforting, I was so stressed that day but he brought me home and we spent time together, I studied for the exam, which was scheduled next day; after I felt a bit better and of course overslept, that’s why I had to hurry.

“Thankyou” he held my hand “Now let’s go” and we went inside, he already reserved tables for us.

 Lunch went pretty good, I forgot all the worries, I was lost in him, he looked so pretty, his bangs looked so pretty and fluffy, how did god give me someone so beautiful and perfect? We went out of the restaurant holding hands, everything felt so perfect.

I got inside the car, he did the same “Aki” I looked at him after he called out my name. “Be happy today” his words felt so genuine to me, he smiled at me, that pure and genuine smile which makes me believe in love and humanity.

“I am happy, mingyu all thanks to you” I cupped his face and placed a small kiss on his lips, “Thankyou for making me feel loved and happy”

“The real fun is waiting for you” I looked puzzled, did he just plan this whole day out yesterday night or something? “huh?”

“Just wait” and he started driving, and played music, I was searching for my phone, “Mingyu, did you see my phone?”

“yes”

“Where is it?”

“You won’t need it, don’t worry, just enjoy today” he was driving and soft music was making me fall asleep, I was looking outside until I realized I drifted to my dreamland.

“On the table”

“WHAT? At home? why are you telling me this NOW?” I forgot to bring my phone, and I didn’t even notice, it’s all his fault for making me so into him. I forget things when I see him infornt of him.

“wake up, we reached” “aki, aki” “baby wake up” I heard his voice and light shake on my body, I opened my eyes slowly, I looked outside, it was evening but sun didn’t set yet, means we can see the sunset together. “Where are we mingyu?” I asked him, unable to recognize this place, maybe because I just woke up.

“Come out first” I unbuckled my seat belt and came out, just to see BEACH infront of me, I was amazed. I walked towards the beach a bit, and stopped, he came to stand beside me, “did you like it?”

“OH MY GOD MINGYU, BEACH?? REALLY? I LOVE IT” I looked at him and hugged him tight, “I love it!!! So much!!” I let go of him and started running towards the water, “come mingyu run!” he was running after me, “Just wait, I will catch you!” I teased him and ran away, he was coming after me. I was about to run towards the water and I felt someone pull me by my waist “Ah” and the next moment I knew was I was in Mingyu’s arms, “What did I tell you?” he smirked, “Put me down!”

“No, I won’t, do you want me drop you in the water?” he walked forward, I looked down, his feet were visible under water, “NOOO” and he started laughing. He let me down, “Just stay here” he told me, I held his hand, “Mingyu please let’s watch the sunset together?” I requested him, I really wanted to be carefree today when I can be and I wanted to see the sunset with him.

“Yes, I will, that’s why wait a second, I will be back fast” and he ran away towards his car, I was looking at the sea, the tides were coming, yet it felt so peaceful, all I could hear was the sounds of the waves. The sun and the sky were doing a perfect job together today, it was mesmerizing.

“Love, turn around” I heard his voice and turned around, the moment I did, my jaw dropped. He was holding, a big bouquet of roses, full of red, cream and pink roses they looked so pretty.

“Happy Birthday love” and he extended his hand to give me the bouquet. I accepted the bouquet and it then clicked my mind, I forgot my birthday, “You forgot your birthday so I thought to make it a bit special for you, did you like it?” I was feeling so loved, I nodded “Thank you so much” he stepped closer, “look at the sun, it looks so pretty and you look ethereal today love. You’re one of the best thing happened to me, you’re that one person who completes me, there’s no song without you. I am all about you, thankyou for being born love, I just wanted to make you feel special, looking at you, I always want to love you more, protect you, make you feel comforted and want you to know you’re special, and there’s no one like you. I am always proud of you for who you are, you are my everything. I never regretted ‘just friends’ to ‘lovers’ because you mean everything to me. stay the way you are, you smile heals me. Once again happy birthday love, and I love you.” His words made me overwhelmed, the sunlight hitting his face and making him look beautiful, sunset and him. He took one more step, and leaned closer “Thank you so much Mingyu for completing my world, I love you”

“I love you” and he lifted my chin and kissed me. My hands went to his neck and his resting on my waist, no matter how many times I say him I love him, it still feels less, this guy right here is a blessing to me and I love him more than anything else.

We parted, and he looked at me, “Thankyou for being born” and he smiled at me.
