CHAPTER 23
Palace**
“I’m so tired!, Today has been hectic!” Kimora said after she finished serving princess Royalty’s lunch
Lunch was prepared some minutes ago
“I couldn’t find prince Jimin in his room when I went to serve his lunch” Tania said
” I don’t know but he was acting weird this morning” she replied, remembering he didn’t say a word to her after saving her earlier
“What do you mean?” Tania asked
“Kimora” Janis waved from the door
” Janis ” she smiled, waving back
He came in fully and took her hand
“Always stealing my friend away from me huh?” Tania said and Janis giggled, taking Kimora away from the kitchen
He took her to the store room and stood facing her
“What?, Is something wrong?” She asked when she saw how he’s staring at her
“Why are you always in Jimin’s room?” He asked
” Why?, I’m a royal maid so I serve him” she replied, moving back cos he’s moving closer
“Kimora you’re not the only maid in this palace so why always you” he said, not breaking their eye lock as he continued moving closer, her back hit the rack and she stopped
“Why are you suddenly like this?” She asked
” Kimora I don’t know why too…I just started growing fond of you overnight and…I just… couldn’t control the feelings I….I started longing to see you everyday, watching the stars with you became my happiest moment, I just….I..”
” Janis…can you step back a bit?” She said
” Kimora I love you” he said and her eyes widened
” What are you talking about?”
” I love you a lot, I swear it Kimora, I do love you” he said, staring at her deeply
” Janis you’re like a brother to me” she said
” The heart can’t be controlled Kimora, I tried to tame my feelings but no….it won’t go, I just love you” he said seriously
Kimora held her robe awkwardly as he started leaning in, closer and closer
“Janis no…” She said, trying to get out of his trap but it’s Impossible
She pushed his chest away from herself but it’s hard, he kept leaning in and when his lips is about to meet hers, the store room door flipped open and it revealed Jimin and Cory
Jimin saw Janis bending over someone and smiled
“So you have eyes on someone in this palace, who’s she?” He asked, going closer
He almost couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Kimora, he stopped on his tracks and stepped back
“Your highness” she said in a hush tone
Jimin turned around and left the room, Cory followed
“I’m sorry” Janis said, releasing Kimora but she pushed him out of the way and rushed out, Jimin is gone
She backed the wall sadly. “What do I do?” She wondered.

Morris Jung’s house**
“Father, you need to see what Riya Park almost did today” Brayden said during dinner
” That spoilt rude daughter of Park Sun?” Morris replied
“Yes…she almost killed a poor man just because he bumped into her by mistake” he replied
” That brat has always been like that, she has no respect or regards for anyone” Morris replied
” It’s disgusting, I don’t like her” Brayden said
” What type of a girl do you like?” Morris asked
“Crazy, sassy, beautiful,… interesting” he replied and Morris smiled
” Where will you find that kind in this town”
“She’s somewhere around” Brayden replied
Janis suddenly entered the house, literally barging in and without greeting, he went into his room
“What’s wrong with him?” Morris said
“I’ll go talk to him” Brayden replied and went in, knocking on Janis door but he refused to open up
“My Lord!, A pigeon letter is here for you from the palace!” One of the guards said, rushing in with it
It was handed to him and he opened it
“Rachel’s handwriting” he said, bringing out the letter.

Palace**
Suzy suddenly blocked Cory on his way to Royalty’s room that evening
” Where are you going to?, You think it’s cool to enter the room of a princess and come out just anytime you like?, She’s a princess for crying out loud!” Suzy said loudly
” She gave me the orders, disobeying it means disobeying her” he replied
” Bullshit, don’t go in there,she can tell her teacher to teach her french, she has more than three teachers!” Suzy said
” But I want him to teach me, any problem with that?” Royalty said, appearing behind Cory
” Royalty you’re trespassing”
“Trespassing on what?, You don’t care about guards, so why are you fussing?” Royalty said and grabbed Cory by the wrist
She made to go away with her but Suzy grabbed the other arm
“It’s an order, you’re not going anywhere” she said
” It’s an order, follow me” Royalty replied and they both started pulling him till he snapped his arms out of their hold, surprising them both
Immediately he did that, he walked out without saying anything
Royalty and Suzy glared at each other dangerously before leaving in opposite directions…

Jimin’s room**
“You’re taking this whole thing personal, you haven’t called Kimora today, is it because of the scene you saw?” Cory said immediately he entered the room
” It looks like .. they kssed” he replied and Cory laughed
“Even if they did, she’s not your lover so…” Cory said
” You don’t understand how I feel” Jimin said
Cory moved closer
“How do you feel?, Is that heart getting stressed already?” He teased
“You’re not helping matters” Jimin said and left the room
” Keep deceiving yourself your highness” Cory said, he remembered the struggle with Royalty and Suzy earlier and his smile dissappeared
“Is it what I’m thinking?” He asked himself.

Night**
Kimora got to the fence and waited for over an hour for him to show up but he didn’t
She planned to wait a little bit more, the wind is blowing slowly and right now she cares less about the stars, he hasn’t talked to him since the incident in Suzy’s room and the look on his face when he saw her with Janis earlier was fire
She looked around again and her mind went to the flower garden
“Did he perhaps…go already before I came?’ she asked herself
She decided to take the risk and went there, she entered the garden and when her allergy didn’t take action, she knows he’s there
She searched the whole place till she found him admiring a particular flower in the middle of the garden
He looked up and saw her, immediately their eyes met, he looked away and started walking away
She rushed to him and blocked him
“It’s not what you think your highness” she said
He made to take another path but she blocked it again
“Don’t snub me I beg you” she said
“Why were you with Janis in the store room?” He asked
” He took me there and told me he loves me and…
” What!
“Yes, I..
” You both kissed?” He said
“No we didn’t, believe me” she replied hurriedly
He looked at her again and turned his back, he started walking out of the garden
She rushed after him again and hugged him from behind , tightly
“Please don’t go, we did nothing and I promise I won’t love him, don’t avoid your guardian Jimin, let’s watch the stars together here, don’t leave me” she said, resting her head on his back
Jimin stood still for a minute before facing her
He held her face and smiled, seeing his beautiful eyes again made her heart race
“Call me Jimin again…. right now” he said
” Jimin” she said, her tiny voice made it sound different on her lips..
He smiled and pecked the space between her eyebrows before hugging her tightly..
“I love it when you call me my name” he said, rubbing her back gently while she buried her face on his manly chest.
