@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ I don’t believe it *he shakes his head vehemently. Almost stubbornly. He couldn’t put into words how he felt when he saw you. There’s no words to feel such a feeling as he felt. All he did know is it knocked his breath over and out. Like he was only passing along the stream made for him until he casted your eyes on you. Yet he wasn’t eloquent enough to say all that so he only continued to stubbornly shake his head until you left the subject alone. His smile relaxed* until we meet again, my future wife *he waved his hand in a curvy pattern not aware of how to properly greet you. Just a giddy grin as he tried to mirror your actions. He was eager. Curious even at what the day would bring. Then he stepped out as well when it was time, strolling to the lightning court’s place. He couldn’t wait.*

@「 v 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ-ˡᵒʳᵈ *The amusement in his chest gets stronger with your every smile and cheesy. answer but he didn't let it dictate his next moves. He bit his lips glancing around to make sure they were safe. * No, that gift belongs to you and you only. Never share it. Just cherish it. * He nods to himself.* life is incredibly short to give it up for someone. Especially someone you just met  *Feeling your hand on his shoulder he thinks about how much you are risking and for what. Certainly not for him. He wasn't worth it.*
I will see you soon, be well. *He says his goodbye like any member of a snow court, touching his forehead as a sign of respect and then pulling the imaginary words with his hand and sending them in the air as a sign that he wishes you well. He looked around then stepped back into the main hall going back to his chambers. *

@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ *he blinks before his eyes widen at the gentle touch to his chest* hope… *he addressed you in surprise before recovering with a smile* it’s for you. Your gift, my future wife *then his rectangular grin turned boxy before answering not as pretty as my future wife’s *yet he shakes his head avidly* now why would I do that when I’ve been looking for you since forever? No, I’m not going to give up even if it becomes dangerous, my Hope *yet when he’s interrupted by the presence of others which ultimately led him closer to your body warmth, his eyes lingered at your heart-shaped lips before shaking his head* I’ll be careful don’t worry, but I am /not/ planning to give up *holds your shoulder with his thumb* I can’t wait to see you tonight, my future wife. You can exit first- I’m sure they’re waiting for you *smiles to you warmly*

@「 v 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ-ˡᵒʳᵈ *He didn't notice right away. He was more worried about your safety, glancing behind you every so often, making sure no one could see you.* Then don't say things like that this lightly. *He lightly touched the middle of your chest, where your heart would be, meeting your eyes.* It's a gift. *His eyes moved over the smile, and pleading eyes.* You do have pretty smile. *He complimented.* I do appreciate your kind words; however, it is still a terrible idea to chance after me. Please give up when it starts to be dangerous. *He heard something, and he pulled you closer against the wall, hiding from view.* I will meet you there, but promise me you will be careful and don't show anything, regardless of what you will see!

@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ *as much as you wanted to think he was joking, his eyes had shown he clearly wasn’t. The Insanity in those eyes were palatable. He tilts his head in confusion with a smile* hm? What about them? I’m not going to throw it out so easily, Hope was it? What a fitting name for you. You’re my Hope *he grins rectangularly* my family would want me to chase after someone who’s worth it. No matter what I don’t wanna live with regrets

@「 v 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ-ˡᵒʳᵈ *Hoseok as a kind, soft-hearted person, did not want to see you getting hurt or potentially killed by his father. That cruel man protected his family fiercely, and despite Lightning. Giving him a chance to actually hurt you. No, he won't let him. Yet, when joked about your life? He couldn't stand it.* Don't! Don't say that! What about your mum, your farm? Do not throw it out so easily. Not for me. *He shook his head.* You can call me Hope. I will give you my name only when I see you are careful.

@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ *V wasn’t even aware that the only reason you said yes to him was to protect him from true harm, aka your father harm’s way. So when you revealed the reason, his eyes widen before he smiles warmly. Even if it was initially because of your beauty or not, it didn’t matter. You were already proving indirectly that you deserve to be his wife because of your internal beauty as well. The beauty of a heart *he grins bright and rectangularly to those soft eyes and warm hands* my future wife, I’ll /gladly/ lose my life because of you any day… but okay, before I meet you tonight, may I at least know my future wife’s name?

@「 v 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ-ˡᵒʳᵈ There is no reason for you to risk your life like that. I am not worth it *It was really hard to believe you. What would you gain? Was it really just his beauty or was it something else? He decided to entertain you, this way he will not risk your life if you tried to approach him in public. Regardless of you intentions Hoseok was kind enough to worry for you well being. Maybe because he knew the cruelty of his father the best out of all his siblings.* You asked for a chance so I gave you one. You won't find other place safe enough here now. I can only escape my guards there. *He grabbed your hand, squeezing it and looking you in the eyes, serious.* Time will tell if you do mean it, but do not approach me in public. It will put your life in danger. I don't want you to lose your life because of me.

@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ Then let me show you what a powerful curse it is *he grins rectangularly. Dumb or Devious? Neither of those. More like insane. Insanity and something he wasn’t even sure of was twinkling in his eyes for you. Maybe that’s why out of everyone he was the one who chased you- regardless of what your father may do to him. It’s not easy for normal people to do what he does. Yet it is first nature to him. Despite not being ordinary. His smile turned relieved at your response before blinking at even you suggesting a place. Could you feel it too? Or maybe you were so sheltered you fell for the first man you met?* are you sure you can do that? That sounds like a very dangerous place. *he frowns worried for your safety* why can’t I you there at least? *but he yields realizing he shouldn’t worry too much; an opportunity was still an opportunity no matter how risky it was…maybe he can figure out a way to protect you* nevermind! *shakes head violently then grins* okay! I’ll see you there, future wife!

@「 v 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ-ˡᵒʳᵈ It's a curse, nothing else.*He stares at you. Well at least you have a guts to do something, chase him. Most of the people just talk to his father trying to bribe but never to Hoseok. * Gardens, there is a seaction with a fountain that it still under construction. They close that area complitely, at least thats what I found out today. *He saw it on his way to the chambers and asked the servant. Aparently it will stay like this couple of weeks.*

@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ Yes. *he answered bluntly* you’re so beautiful how can’t I want you? But I want to know my future wife too *he smiles relieved when hoseok stops and yields a bit* then! A spot we can rendezvous in! I want you, my future wife! I want to know you, talk to you, fall even more with love for you!

@「 v 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ-ˡᵒʳᵈ Love? You don't know me. *Hoseok shakes his head.* You are just like everyone else. Wanting me for the beauty. I am more than just that. *That brought fire to his heart and he glares at your hand on his wrist. * I don't know, we are to be kept as far away from each other as can. I am staying with Ice court like the rest of my family. *He sighs, feeling defeated.* I wish your family well, but if your cheerish your life dont try this again. I am third to the throne, if they see you with me you will be killed.

@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ Everything works out with love *smiles smitten into your eyes* Oh no really? Aw it’s my favorite *he frowned blinking when you start to back away, reaching to hold your wrist* wait! When will I get to meet you again? Where are you staying? I’ll get a better fruit to your liking next time. I can’t help but feel if I don’t know where you’re staying we will never get to talk again…

@「 v 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ-ˡᵒʳᵈ How will that work? *This man was wapking, breathing enigma and the more he talk the more confused Hoseok was getting. He wasn't sure if you were truly this innocent or was it a plan?* Onion is not my favorite. It burns my eyes. *Indeed ,his face was just a bit more pink and eyes glossy.* Not raw at least. *Hoseok tenses understandhow risky this was. If his father find out you would be dead so very dead. He tried to step away, put some space between you two, internaly panicking and looking around making sure they were still alone.*

@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ [] no problem! ]

*his expression was in awe when hoseok pulled down the hood before frowning when you put it back up* so? You’re still my future wife. You don’t need to be a woman to be my wife *blinks when you deny the taste of the onion with a disgusted expression* why? *he continues to chew the onion bite he had as he gets up* does my future wife not like onions?

@「 v 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ-ˡᵒʳᵈ []ah honest mistake! Hoseok wasn't chewing, just observing V doing it. My autocorrect eat 'you' . Guess it was hungry. Corect version! Sorry!

A random guard who just followed and scared me to death. *Hoseok complained looking down, rubbing his chest, and hiding away the dagger.* Wife? *He pulled the hood down for a moment and pointed to his head.* I am a man. *Quickly, he pulled the hoodie back up, looking around.* Your family farm? *His eyes softened when he heard that, but it quickly turned into pure shock when you took a bite out of it. He observes as you chew, impressed and disgusted at the same time. His eyes stung when you brought the onion closer to his face, and he had to blink away the tears.* I am sure it's great, thank you but get up before someone sees you!

You don’t need to be a woman to be my wife *blinks when you chew the onion with a disgusted expression* oh no! *stands up panicking holding your waist* Not to your liking? I-I can get another one? Anything for my future wife *he smiles warmly* I’ll kiss it better wherever it hurts

@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ *even if you did pull the dagger, he could hold your wrist with a smile to block it. Yet the words lord uttered from your mouth flashed in awe* lord? Oh wow to be called that. No im just a random guard dragged here for work. But at least I met you, my future wife. *he chuckles and then keeps holding the onion to you with such happy innocent eyes* no, it’s from my family farm. Eomma told me to have an onion ready so when I meet my future wife she can be impressed by how fresh we make our food. A lot had happened since then but Its a habit now so…Please *takes a big bite to show it’s not poisoned* for you, take it

@「 v 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ-ˡᵒʳᵈ *Hoseok lost his balance, gasping, scared. You almost gave the poor guy a heart attack, and he pulled the dagger from his belt, ready to cut your throat. It took him a few seconds to recognize you from the main hall and lower it down. * You scared me! Why would you do that, my Lord?! *He asked, taking a step back, rubbing his chest. His eyes growing wild when you bent down and offered him an onion. He looks around, wondering if anyone sees that.* What's this? Is it a threat?

@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ *V always had a sharp eye even when he was eating. So when his supposed wife slipped away, he blinked pouting as he ate* he’s gone? *he whispered to his manager he’d need to find the restroom. Then with his strength and training, he found the familiar hood running and bounded towards the other from the opposite way before grinning and sliding his hands to your waist* there you are, my future wife *he clears his throat before pulling out the onion in his pocket* achem! *he bends down on one knee, stretching the onion out* for you, misirrr!

*Escaping the main room was easy enough, yet doing the same with his family. Truly a nightmare. Yet, everyone looked weary and tired, happily settling in their chambers to rest after a long journey. All but one because Hoseok slipped away. Needing just a bit of time alone. His knowledge about the palace was minimal, so soon he found himself lost in countless halls.*
