STORY

A few moments later…

I returned to my room after I finished my afternoon shower. Arriving inside, I found Zu was looking at the courtyard through the window pane. I was surprised that he was already home.

"Prince?"

My hair is still wet, but now I'm wearing a new dress. I wore a beige nightgown to my knees—short sleeves with open shoulders. Here, too, I still wear a kemben as an undergarment lining.

"Prince?"

I called Zu back, but the prince was still silent. I immediately walked over to him.

"Prince…"

I stood before him, waving my hands in front of his face. Suddenly he woke up from his dream.

"Miss? Em, are you done showering?" he asked me, looking nervous this time.

"Already. Look, my hair still looks wet, doesn't it? The prince himself doesn't take a bath?" I asked innocently.

"Um, I..." His words seemed to be stuck.

"Hmm?"

"Miss, can we get a little closer?" asked Zu.

"Eh?!" I feel confused.
