Chapter 1
With the vibrant green apron snug around me and my unruly 4C hair gathered into a carefree messy bun, I stepped into the lively world of The Blend Haven on this 1st of July, marking my four-year journey as a smoothie maestro. The harmonious blend of whirring blenders, laughter, and soothing melodies created an inviting atmosphere in this fruity haven. Surveying the kaleidoscope of fresh fruits, I envisioned the delightful concoctions I could craft. Little did I anticipate that beyond being my workplace, this smoothie bar would be a space where moments and memories would blend into the colorful tapestry of my life, making each day a unique and flavorful chapter.
The bell of the bright green door announcing a customer entrance. I finish serving a customer's berry lemon smoothie before heading to the register. Before i can has the welcome slogan my smile dropped, noticing there was no customer who needed an announcement. He can just notify the room with his presence breathing the same air that now feels wealthy. No one other than my old classmate and customer regular Kim Taehyung. Oh apologies, Prince Kim Taehyung of the Kim family empires.
The Kim Family are one of the most powerful royal families in the nation. Running most of South Korea, the Kim Family's influence extended far beyond their opulent palaces and adorned estates. With a legacy rooted in centuries of tradition, they held the reins of political, economic, and cultural realms, intertwining their lineage with the very fabric of South Korea's history. Known for their strategic acumen and unwavering dedication to the nation's prosperity, the Kims wielded not only political power but also played a pivotal role in shaping the country's identity. Yet, with such power came scrutiny and intrigue, as the intricate dance of politics and diplomacy played out in the shadow of the Kim Family's enduring legacy.
Prince Kim Taehyung is currently in the states to finish his studies. his distinctive deep voice and captivating stage presence. Being the 2nd born of the Royal Family With a charismatic and enigmatic persona. He is known for his warmth, charming smile, and occasional playful antics, creating a multifaceted image that resonates with his devotees. Taehyung possesses distinctive facial features, including expressive almond-shaped eyes that often convey a wide range of emotions.
He is currently wearing his meticulously tailored suit, a tasteful departure from the traditional tuxedo. The suit, a rich charcoal gray, draped flawlessly over his broad shoulders, accentuating his commanding presence. The jacket, adorned with subtle stitching details, hinted at craftsmanship of the highest order. A crisp, white dress shirt beneath added a touch of refinement, complemented by a silk tie knotted with precision. The ensemble was completed by perfectly fitted trousers that gracefully tapered down to polished leather shoes.
His eyebrows are well-defined, adding to the intensity of his gaze. Taehyung's high cheekbones and a well-defined jawline contribute to his striking and sculpted facial structure. His nose is elegantly shaped, and his lips are often noted for their natural plumpness. His black wavy hair framed his face like a cascade of midnight waves, each strand capturing the essence of darkness and mystery. The waves danced playfully, adding a sense of movement and vitality to his appearance, while the shorter length hinted at a practicality that belied his enigmatic nature. Everything about him screamed majestic, a god that can do no wrong right? I call Bullshit.
"Welcome to The Blend Haven, your Majesty." I stretched the last two words out with a dissatisfied grin.
"Would you like your usual today, or would you like to try something new?" I asked.
"Drop the formalities, Y/N; you know how much I disfavor those words from your mouth." He whispered lightly, where only I could hear, surrounded by his adoring fans, with his guards holding them back.
"And yes, along with a side of Emerald Tranquility Resort."Of course, he would expect me to meet him at the resort tonight. The prince and I have had our fair share of nights together, a series of events that originated when we both, quite regrettably, consumed more alcohol than advisable during the fall homecoming dance in our junior year. What was initially intended to be a forgettable experience unexpectedly transformed into a recurring arrangement spanning three years. In this peculiar dynamic, I assume the role of his "fake girlfriend," pretending that our affection is concealed, participating in outfit fittings, donning elegant gowns, and attending masquerade balls, occasionally held in Korea. Meanwhile, he assists me in pursuing my dream of entering MIT. The agreement is set to conclude on July 10th. The sooner he exits my life, the better. I can finally bid farewell to dealing with this royal brat and his orchestrated playdates.
I crafted his Divine Strawberry Delight smoothie alongside Toffee Almond Pinwheels. Once prepared, I placed both delights into our signature light green box with brown front lettering, proudly showcasing our store's name.
"Here is your Divine Strawberry Delight smoothie alongside Toffee Almond Pinwheels. The total is $15.89," I announced. As always, he handed me an extra $34.11 alongside the total price of his order. Handing his purchase to him, he responded with his signature boxy smirk, saying, "See you very soon, My Princess."
Strolling away, surrounded by a cult-like entourage of fangirls and vigilant bodyguards, he cast a final glance my way. His eyes, a deep brown, remained fixed on mine as he gracefully entered the luxury car. The door closed with a muted thud, leaving me captivated by the lingering gaze. The intensity of that brief eye contact left me breathless, momentarily oblivious to the whirring blenders and the lively ambiance of the smoothie bar. Returning to my duties, I resumed blending fruits, yet the enchanting mystery of those deep brown eyes lingered, hinting at a story yet to unfold. Unbeknownst to me, this encounter at the smoothie bar marked our final meeting there, blending the ordinary with the unexpected in ways I could never have imagined.
