Plot: You're a princess and your parents are hosting a grand ball, inviting many royal families, including the 7 well known princes and their family. You soon meet the 7 princes and they all become interested in you.

You walked around the ball room, having to get through tons of people and even being greeted by many other guests and royal families. Finally you went out into a balcony to get some fresh air. You learned onto the balcony and looked over at the view. The sun was already setting, creating a mixture of red, oranges, pinks, as well as blue.

"My, what a surprise to see you here princess", you were startled by the sudden voice. You turned around and saw one of the 7 princes your mother was talking about.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you there princess. I just noticed you here and thought I'd say a little hello", he said before walking over to the side of you, also staring into the sunset.

"I didn't realize you saw me Prince Sunghoon", you said to him, still glancing at him. "You still remember my name?", he questioned, this time turning his attention to you.

"How can I not? With the amazing looks you have it's easy to remember you", you said to the prince without realizing what you had just said to him.

"You think I'm handsome?", he leaned closer to you and smirked a bit. Your eyes widened a bit and you quickly backed away. "I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud, it's just-"

"No need to apologize. You know, you yourself have such beautiful facial features", he smiled to you and looked at you, almost like he was observing your face. You couldn't help but blush a bit by the sudden compliment. Sure your parents and maids have complimented your looks but hearing someone else call you beautiful made you smile.

"Thank you Prince Sunghoon", you thanked him before you turned to see the sunset again. You felt the young prince looking over at you but you were to nervous to look back at him or say anything. As it was getting darker, a cold breeze began to blow into the night sky. You weren't wearing anything on top of your dress, which caused you to shiver. You wrapped your arms around your top half, trying to keep yourself somewhat warm.

"I see that you're cold princess. How about we head back inside where it's warmer", you nodded. He grabbed your hand and held it tightly, leading you back inside the castle. You were back in the ballroom and saw everyone chatting with one another.

"Thank you, I really appreciate your kindness", you told the prince. He smiled before you he excused himself, bowing to you before leaving off to his family. As soon as he left, you felt your stomach growl. You were hunger. You looked around and saw tables filled with food. You walked over there and grabbed some food, hurrying to eat it.

"You must be hungry", you turned to see another one of the princes getting food as well. You were embarrassed and wiped your mouth with a napkin before greeting him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Prince..."

"Prince Jay, you've already forgotten my name?", the prince joked around and laughed a bit. You immediately apologized to him, feeling bad for not remembering his name.

"It's alright, no need to be sorry. I can tell you've met lots of people tonight", you awkwardly laughed and nodded, continuing to eat your food.

"Princess, if you don't mind, would you like to have a seat together and talk? I've been wanting to talk to you ever since I first saw you", you smiled a bit and nodded, walking over to a table and sitting down with the prince. You both ate your food and talked to one another.

"So, what do you like to do for fun around here?", Prince Jay asked.

"Well I like to take my horse out for a ride sometimes. And sometimes I even go into the village to go to the local bakery to get some goods for my family and I", you told the prince. He smiled at you before taking another bite of his food.

"Sounds fun! You know, one day you should take me to the bakery, I'd love to see what they have", you smiled and told him all kinds of desserts and treats they have. He just smiled and laughed, seeing how happy you were talking about the bakery.

"You have such a beautiful smile princess", Prince Jay said out of nowhere. You stopped talking and looked at him. Hearing him say that caused you to smile even more. You thanked him and took the late bite of your food that you had. Soon a server went to your table and got your dishes, along with prince Jay's dish.

"It is time for the slow dance to begin ladies and gentlemen", someone had announced. Soon, everyone was grabbing a partner and going to the dance floor and getting ready to dance. You didn't know what to do. You turned to see if Prince Jay wanted to dance but he was was already being dragged by someone else to the dance floor. You sighed and just looked around as everyone has a partner.

"Would you care to dance with me princess", you turned around and faced another one of the 7 princes you met tonight. You looked around and saw that everyone was already starting to dance. You nodded and saw the young prince smile. He grabbed your hand and brought you to the center of the ballroom. He placed his hand around your waist as you placed yours on his shoulder. You both grabbed each other's free hand and then began to dance.

You felt awkward since you were dancing with a very good looking prince. He seemed to notice you trying to avoid eye contact as he let out a small laugh.

"There's no need to be awkward princess, I don't bite", he said. He slowly leaned closer to your ear and whispered something. "Unless you want me too", you were flustered about what he had just said and looked at him with a shocked expression.

"I'm joking, it's fun to tease you", he said while looking at you. You laughed a little before you began a basic conversation with him.

"So...Prince Jake right?"

"Correct"

"I heard from my mother that you're from Australia. Is that perhaps true?"

"Indeed it is princess"

"I've always wanted to go to Australia", you told him. He smiled and looked at you. "Maybe one day you can visit sometime. We'd love to have you and your family over", you nodded, taking note of what he just said. The young prince continued to look at you as you looked back at him.

"You are looking rather stunning tonight princess. I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you", he said. You smiled as your cheeks began to show a hint of pink. You hoped the prince wouldn't notice but unlucky for you, he did.

"You're blushing"

"I'm not"

"Did my comment make you blush princess? Cause if so, expect lots of compliments tonight from me. You're cute when you blush", you didn't know why his words had an affect on you. You felt your heart race. The both of you continued to dance with one another, Prince Jake spinning you a couple times. He twirled you around again and then brought you close to him. Once you looked into your eyes, your faces were only meters apart. You felt your face getting hot knowing how close his face is to you.

Once in a while, the young prince would glance from your eyes to your lips. Your heart was now beating like crazy. He looked at you once again and then smiled. Right when you felt your heart about to explode, the slow dance had ended and everyone cheered. You and Prince Jake let go of each other and cheered with everyone else. You both walked away from the center of the ballroom.

"That was a wonderful dance princess. You're an amazing dancer"

"You aren't too bad yourself either Prince Jake"

"Thank you", he smiled. You looked around and saw your mother waving towards you. You then looked back at Prince Jake. "I'm sorry but it seems that my mother is calling me over. Thank you again for the dance, it was really fun"

"It was my pleasure. Have fun princess", he winked at you before you bowed to each other. You walked towards your mother and saw her giving you a look. "What?", you questioned. She smiled widely.

"How was the dance with Prince Jake?", she said. "Really mother?", you said. You playfully rolled your eyes as you heard your mother laugh.

"Not to be biased or anything but I think Prince Jake and you would look so cute together. Even seeing you two dance with each other, it was like you two were in love", your mother stated while smiling.

"Mother I only just met him", you laughed. "You know your father said that he thinks you and Prince Heeseung would look good together", your mother said. You just rolled your eyes and looked at your mother again.

"Why were you calling me over here mother?"

"Oh that's right! I need you to go check the library real quick. I think I left something important there and thought you can go check", you sighed but nodded. Your mother thanked you and soon you left the ballroom and walked towards the library to find whatever your mother had left.
