I walked along the cobblestone streets, glancing over my shoulder every once in a while. I tugged my hat down to cover my eyes a bit and pulled my mask further up my face. My eyes shifted, looking around the town. Bright signs adversing different things lit up the street as signs showing pictures of food drew customers in off the sidewalk.
I walked over to my favorite little restaurant, having a craving for noodles. I frequent this place often, when I'm able to, that is. I sneak out often just to come and visit the city. It helps me to get away from my chaotic life at the castle. I stepped into the restaurant, savory scents of different cuisines mingling and mixing together in a beautiful symphony.
The lady that owns the restaurant, Mrs. Choi, recognized me immediately. She's the only one who knows my identity and she's done a wonderful job of hiding it.

"Oh hello, dear!" She greeted me. "You're back!"
"I am." I nodded.
"Would you like your usual order?"
"Yes, please." I nodded.
A dark haired male suddenly passed by me in a rush.
"Oh, Jimin!" Mrs. Choi called, catching the attention of the dark haired guy.
"Yes?" He asked, turning around.
His eyes were warm and seemed to sparkle with personality, they were gentle yet sharp, he had a cute button nose, small and perfect, and beautifully plush lips. His figure, however, was a much different contrast from his gentle features. He had a slim waist, toned arms, and muscular legs. I had to stop myself from drooling as I looked at him.
"I wanted to introduce you to Y/n. She's a regular here so you'll be seeing her pretty often."
He gave me a small bow, muttering a, "Nice to meet you."
"This is Jimin, I just hired him recently. Isn't he cute? Hiring a young, strong, and handsome man has been really good for business."
Jimin bit his bottom lip, his cheeks turning pink as he glanced away.
"Nice to meet you Jimin." I let out a small chuckle.
"Now, Jimin, I want you to treat her like a princess, okay?"
"Yes ma'am." He nodded.
"Y/n, you can go on and have a seat. I'll get started on your meal. Jimin, table four needs their drinks."
He gave a quick nod and walked off.
I turned away and headed to my favorite table.

This restaurant thankfully has large booths with walls on three sides and curtains for privacy. I always go to the same one, as it's usually unoccupied.
I love this place. From the wonderful service to the delicious food. It always makes me happy, not only that, but it gives me a sense of normalcy. Eating inside the restaurant and in person is just so much better. Of course, I could always get the food delivered to the castle, but where's the fun in that? It's much more exciting to sneak out.

Minutes later, I saw Jimin walking over to my table, bowl of noodles in hand.
"Your usual is the ramen, right?" He asked, his voice soft.
"Yes."
"Here you go." He smiled warmly, setting the steaming bowl down in front of me. "And here's your drink."
"Thank you." I gave him a small nod, before he slid the curtain shut, allowing me some privacy.
I pulled my mask down and took a few bites of my food, savoring the taste. Suddenly, I saw a pair of familiar shoes underneath the curtain on the booth. Mrs. Choi pulled the curtain back a bit, an excited look on her face.
"Y/n." She whispered. "What do you think of Jimin?"
"He's... nice." I answered nonchalantly.
"He's more than nice. He's the most handsome man I've ever seen. I wish I were his age."
"Mrs. Choi!" I giggled.
"What? A girl can dream, can't she?"
"I suppose."
"Well, anyway, enjoy your meal, hun." She gave a small nod before walking off.

After finishing my food, I slipped my mask back on, not wanting to be recognized. I was preparing to leave when Jimin came over to collect my dishes.
"Did you enjoy your meal?" He asked.
"I did. Thank you."
"It's my pleasure." He smiled softly.
I reached for my bag, pulling out some money. "Here." I held it out to Jimin.
"Oh, you can pay up front." He pointed.
"No, it's a tip." I nudge the money towards him.
"That's... quite a generous tip. I can't take that."
"Sure you can. Here."
He looked down at the cash before hesitantly taking it. "Thank you very much. That's kind of you."
"No need to thank me." I stood up, heading to the register. "Have a nice night."
Mrs. Choi walked up to the front counter where I paid for my meal, making sure to drop some extra cash into the tip jar like I usually do.
"Goodbye, dear! Come back soon."
"I will!" I waved before slipping out the door.
