This has the concept of royalty in modern times and I clearly don't have any idea about it. I just made things up and write. This is just fictional anyway so no big deal??
--
I grew up in a royal family. Everyone calls me princess and I never thought so much about what that title has to do with my life. But as I grow, I didn't have the chance to enjoy life like I'm a normal human being. I have rules to follow. I'm a royalty so I have to act one. I longed for freedom to do anything I want at a young age.
Everyone's eyes are on me and they also decide what my life should be. I just follow whatever decision they make, just so I couldn't be viewed as a disgrace to the family. I was fine with that setup, but when my parents arranged me to marry the son of the other royal family, that's when I thought it's crossing the line. Why can't I marry someone I really love? Every single thing in my life are in the hands of other people. Stupid rules.
I got married to the youngest son of Byun family, Prince Byun Baekhyun. He was cute but he didn't seem to like me at all. So do I towards him. We had a grand wedding and everyone understood why we couldn't kiss each other when we were pronounced as husband and wife. At least, they had the heart to understand that we were forced into this stupid marriage and never asked us to do such thing.
That Baekhyun guy was serious all throughout the ceremony. He looked so intimidating but when his eyes landed on that one woman inside the venue, his lips would stretch into a small smile. Ah, he likes someone. That explains why he would glare at me and would show that he doesn't like me for getting in his way with the woman he like. We haven't talked since the day we were introduced to each other and now I can feel that this marriage will be suffocating.
Although we were not forced to kiss during the wedding, which is super fine. But our parents locked us inside our room for the first night! I felt my blood boiling now that I have to be in the same room with this piece of meat called bacon who didn't know how to speak and hates me for getting in the way with his lover. Hello? I didn't like the idea of marrying him too!
He was sitting on the bed while I stood at the doorway, refusing to have any eye contact with him while my fingers played with each other. I've been really a talkative kind of girl and staying quiet for so long could kill me. No one knows about it because of the rules I have to follow for being a princess. My life sucks, I know.
But even though Baekhyun seems like he wants to kill me. I wanted to fix that, be friends with him and be comfortable with each other. I have been thinking of it since the wedding started. I wanted to live with someone I can talk to, at least that. It's fine with me if he brings his lover at home. I just want to have a friend. Yes, befriending someone that isn't a royalty is forbidden for me. It's one of the rules I have to follow and why I don't have friends. I found out that Baekhyun is friends with those princes from another families and his family allowed him to befriend everyone he likes to be with. Unfair.
The silence was killing me so I thought I should open my mouth to speak. "I'm... Gonna shower?" I turned to my back, ready to leave but then I felt the need to speak out what was on my mind so I faced him again. "You know what? Maybe we should fix our relationship."
Baekhyun rises a brow at me. "What do you mean?"
"Not that I want this marriage to work but I want us not to glare at each other every damn time." I shrugged. "Look, I know you like someone but I'm also forced into this marriage so I suggest you not to think of me as getting into your way with the one you like."
"YOU ARE getting into the way."
I heaved out a sigh. "I don't care if you flirt right in front of me. Baekhyun, I don't have friends because of the stupid rules that I have to follow for being a royalty." I felt tears burning my eyes as I looked away from him. "I just wanted to live with someone I can comfortably talk to if I can't have the freedom I wanted. If maybe we could be friends?"
