“Even so, why are you swearing at your brother?”
"sorry.."
I somehow ended up talking to him. He was really upset, so I tried to calm him down a bit, and I ended up speaking informally to him without realizing it. He's my brother.You must be feeling better. Are you laughing? Damn it.. No, just laugh.. Even if you're a prince, laugh. So this person is my second older brother... What is his name?
"By the way, why are you here next to me? Normally, you'd be right next to Hyung."
“Oh, I just don’t really want to be around you.”
"Huh? I guess I'll have to live long to see it."
"Hey, it's a party! I have to hang out with a lot of people."
I quickly changed the subject. Yes, prince, today is my birthday.I'll do as I please... I smiled awkwardly, and the prince stared at me with a puzzled expression. I'm sorry, but my face is going to be pierced.
"...You hate meeting people. You seem like a completely different person today."
”…“
"..Oh, I see."
“..Huh? What, what.”
“You just had a fight with your brother.”
"Oh, right... I thought we'd never see each other again after that fight, but how did you know? You're the best, you're a true genius. Well then, I'll just enjoy the party and go."
"Huh? Princess! Princess!" I heard someone calling from behind me, but I pretended not to hear. My heart was beating incredibly fast. I almost got caught.
I took a deep breath, grabbed a passing servant, and asked for a glass of soju, no, champagne.
I want to hide...
I sipped the champagne the servant had brought me and retreated as far into the corner as I could.
I could feel the princes' gazes on me from afar, but the more I did, the more nervous I became. They would all see it anyway.
"hi"
"…who"
“It’s not fun here. Should we go out?”
“This is my birthday party.”
“Ugh”
Oh my gosh, who is this kid? His neatly dressed suit is dazzling. Are there really only good-looking people in this country? There are only the kind of looks you'll only see once in your lifetime.
The man who had been smiling awkwardly at my words opened his mouth again, biting his lip.
“But it’s not your real birthday.”
“…What? Who are you?”
"Are you curious? Then come out of here with me."
“At least give your full name. I haven’t understood anything since earlier.”
"Lee Joo-yeon. You can call me Joo-yeon."
..let's go out.
Let's speak quietly. Jooyeon smiled and took my hand.
At that moment, my eyes met with the current prince's.
I think his expression just got worse. Did I see things wrong?
The banquet hall was spacious, and there were numerous back exits. It was difficult to keep up with the main character, who seemed to know the area well and strode out without hesitation.
“Come on! Walk slowly.. Your skirt is going to catch everything.”
“Oh, sorry, sorry.”
“Where am I?”
“Secret place.”
What are you talking about? It seems like I just entered an empty room.
As soon as I closed the door, I plopped down on the sofa and kicked off my high heels.
Oh, I thought my toe was going to fall off.
Jooyeon, who had been quietly looking down at me like that, took off his suit jacket and sat down next to me.
“So what’s your name?”
“Lee Joo-yeon.”
“How old are you?”
“18 here, 21 in real life.”
“Are you a prince too?”
“Here, it’s a count. Not a prince.”
“Here?”
"I used to live in Seoul. I woke up and this happened."
"Since when? Did you suddenly become like this? Then how can I go back?"
“I’ve been looking for a way… but that was already five years ago.”
“…That’s ridiculous.”
There's no hope... Or did I even have any hope of going back in the first place? I felt all the strength drain from my body. Juyeon, who had been patting me on the back, seemed to notice and reached out to me.
"I'm sorry for upsetting you. I'm glad I finally made a friend I can talk to after five years. Let's get along well from now on."
"..Yeah, Jooyeon."
“What are you guys doing here?”
