♖ botanical garden

**walks into the garden quietly as to not alert anyone.**
Finally. Some peace and quiet.

Having had her fill of mingling and with the ball showing no sign of slowing for the night, Bora sequestered herself to the castle's garden. It hadn't been an intentional destination; rather, she'd just found herself walking aimlessly upon leaving the Great Hall and, before she knew it, she was outside and taking in a sharp, yet soft breath as the cold winter air pierced her lungs. She continued walking through, not paying the dozens upon dozens of beautiful plants and flowers much mind despite the way their scent penetrated her senses. Still, it was better than the suffocating air of the Great Hall. She eventually came upon a stone bench before an immaculate fountain, intricate and admirable while it reminded her of the waters running through Villeport. Smoothing the seat of her dress, she took up residence of the bench and found herself caught up in memories of when it was a happy home.

@Kim Eunyoung Hitomi walked silently through the garden. She thought about everything Eunyoung had said just a moment again. Realizing she was right. Hitomi wasn't sure how she was feeling... And she certainly didn't know how Jinhwan was feeling. And didn't want to break up their family over some stupid arranged marriage.

@Hitomi Honda Eunyoung wasn't satisfied with the result of there conversation, she didn't want to be enemy's with Hitomi but she didn't want Hitomi to intrude on her life or realitionship with her brother, so she let the girl walk on as she just sat there in silence

@Kim Eunyoung Hitomi inhaled quietly. "I don't have a choice... I wasn't given an option..." She said calmly. She stood up, trying not to completely lose her composure. "I would if I could..." She walked back through the garden, not wanting to deal with that right now.

@Hitomi Honda "Don't you think it's foolish to marry him though..." she takes another gentle sip of her tea "You should just leave him alone, you should just go back home, so you don't mess up my family"

@Kim Eunyoung Hitomi was trying to stay calm, trying not to get snappy. "I don't know." She answered. "I would like to get to know him before I decide something so important..." She looked down at her tea. "I wasn't going to tell him if I love him or not... Because I don't know yet..."

@Hitomi Honda "Well then do you love him?" Eunyoung tilted her head "This is the first time your properly meeting the man you've been engaged with for six years, and you're really going to tell me you love him, I don't think so"

@Kim Eunyoung Hitomi calmly set her cup down. "How do you know how I feel? Hmm? You have no idea how I'm feeling right now. No idea. You're not inside my head. You have absolutely no idea what I'm thinking." She said calmly. Why was she being like this?

@Hitomi Honda "I'm just telling the truth Hitomi, my brother has no intention of marrying you, and he has no intention of falling in love with you." she said sternly "It's not like you love him either, and I wouldn't suggest you start to, cause then when he leaves you it will be even more hurtful."

@Kim Eunyoung Hitomi was a little shocked by what Eunyoung was saying. "What... Why are you saying that?" She asked, confused. "I've done nothing wrong to you... And you're saying things like that?" Her happy attitude was replaced by irritation and slight sadness. Has he said he didn't like her that much..?

@Hitomi Honda "You're probably not gonna stay here long anyway, so what's the point of getting to know me, I'm sure my brother will get rid of you soon enough" she said with lots of confidence and took another sip of tea removing the gloves on her hands, and placing them neatly on the table.

@Kim Eunyoung () Ouch~ jk. That sounds like a good twist!

"Well... That might be true... But..." She trailed off a little, losing her train of though. She sat across from Eunyoung and let out a soft sigh.

"I just wanted to get to know you... Since I'm here... I just wanted someone to talk to..." She said, shrugging a little. She sipped her tea gingerly. Suddenly wishing she was doing this alone.

@Hitomi Honda ()Hey, i was thinking that maybe Eunyoung kinda doesn't like Hitomi, cause she doesn't think she's good enough for him?

"Of course, you are my brother's fiance, it would be rude of me not to come" Eunyoung smiled and bowed her head lightly in return to the curtsey.

"What exactly made you want to invite me here?" Eunyoung tilted her head lightly and took a sip of the tea in front of her, as she lifted her veil up lightly and hooked it behind her eyes so it just showed .

@Kim Eunyoung Hitomi inhaled softly. She had invited Eunyoung to have tea with her... But had gotten bored while waiting. She walked around the garden, inhaling the beautiful scents of the flowers and smiling happily. Gardens always have been her happy place. She looked up when she heard someone walking and hoped it was Eunyoung.

Hitomi smiled and hurried back to the center of the garden, she saw Eunyoung sitting and approached her calmly. She curtsied when she reached the table, smiling happily. "Thank you for coming~." She said happily.

@Hitomi Honda Eunyoung arrived at the garden just outside the castle one of her favourite places to just relax, as she very much loved nature. She worked through the gardern with it's white marble flooring for paths which looked very amazing, her shoes making a knock sound against them.

Eunyoung then arrived in the centre of the garden where a set of a marble table and two chairs were laid out, she could not see any sight of Hitiomi but the tea and biscuits were already set on the table, she decided to take a seat and wait for the girl to arrive.
