•• "i won't let you go"

Your parents sent you off to an academy when you were young. Most princesses and princes were homeschooled, but there did exist a few academies that catered to families of your class and rank. With your parents wanting you to be a successful adult but also not caring for a daughter, that was their first option. You would visit sometimes over break, but often times you would pack up, ready to go, and they wouldn't send someone to come get you. It was alright, though, you would simply stay at the boarding school. On your own.

Now with the case of rival kingdoms, there was one particular kingdom that your parents happen to bear an ancient hatred for. Those were the Chois, and it just happened to be that their second son, Prince Soobin happened to attend the same academy as you. By coincidence, you'd both ended up having very similar schedules, and channeling the hatred your families had against each other, an academic rivalry grew.

You had to admit when viewing Soobin that he had grown to be incredibly attractive over the years you'd spent in the academy together. You also had to admit that, even with his lineage, he was incredibly soft hearted and had such a sweet smile. That being said, you still harbored that rivalry against him, and although for so long you both competed to be the top student, you'd begun to slip.

———

"Are you going home on break next month?" Soobin slid into the seat next to you in the library, his voice hushed so he wouldn't disturb anyone, not that there was anyone there. You were mostly surrounded by walls of books reaching towards the high ceiling. So many books and he chose to bother you.

"I'm trying to study, can you not talk to me?"

Soobin rolled his eyes and pouted, laying his cheek down on the table. "You talk to me when I'm studying."

"It's different."

"It's literally not."

You eyed Soobin out of the corner of your eye, frowning slightly. "What do you want from me?" You asked in a hushed voice.

"I just wanted to know if you were going on break, geez!" Soobin leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms, shaking his head of bleached blonde hair. You sighed and began to close your books and study materials. "No." You said blandly. It's clear they don't want you back. Stuffing your things in your bag, you stood up and smoothed down your uniform. "I'll get going."

"Stop acting like you're all that and just talk to me." Soobin frowned.

You glanced at him where he was tipping back in his chair, arms still crossed and gaze glistening.
