Jaebum takes off his coat while he waits for the hair stylists to put the last few finishing touches to Crescent’s silky locks. She would occasionally send him small smiles to check on him, but in this last checkup she gasps and rushes to his side, Jaebum looks down and sees that a solid patch of blood spreading along his arm.

“Take of you shirt.” Crescent told Jaebum even though she was already helping him his shirt which revealed a poorly wrapped blood soaked bandage.

“Can one of you please go get the first aid kit and so warm water?” Crescent asks one of the hair stylists who quickly goes and does what Crescent asks.

She turns her attention back to him, “are you alright?” She asks as she carefully unwraps the bandages.

“It’s just a small scratch.” He says to ease Crescent when she sees the rather large gash on his arm.

“We are going to the doctor.” Crescent announces but she cannot budge him.

“Don’t worry, bring that over.” he says to the stylist who just arrived. Crescent helps him clean the blood away and help Jaebum dress the wound carefully with thick layers of bandage. To Jaebum it really was a small wound, but he kind of enjoyed her fussing over him.

The ball room was bustling with people all dressed vibrantly dancing to the music that sounded across the tall ceilings. Many officials from different countries came to greet Jaebum and Crescent smiled beside him, but as time went on, Jaebum was getting more and more agitated for some reason.

Jaebum doesn’t say anything. “I just don’t like their gazes.” he says as he leads her elsewhere, glaring at all the men who was gawking at Crescent just moments before. But the thought did not linger as a familiar face approached them.

“I hope you two are enjoying tonight.” The prince smiled, “You look lovely Crescent.”

Jaebum’s eyes narrowed as he took a step closer to Crescent who just smiled politely and mouthed a soft thank you.

“Well I hope you enjoy yourselves at the ball, Crescent please makes sure to save me a dance.” He said before going off to greet other guests.

“As if that is going to happen…” Jaebum mutters under his breath.

“What did you say?” Crescent asks but she was interrupted.

“Jaebum!” A friendly voice called out.

A young lady approached them with a big smile on her face, Crescent did not need to be introduced to this young lady, and she radiated sunshine with her pale yellow dress, with sun kissed skin and daisies woven into her hair.

‘Princess Summer.” Jaebum greeted with a hand outreached, but summer ignored it and pulled Jaebum into a hug. “It’s been so long!” she says after re
