Yuna
*Takes a deep breath, hands on her hips as she eyes the rocky path ahead*
The storm hasn’t hit yet, but the air is heavy with the promise of rain. The only way back to the city is by foot, through uneven trails and steep climbs
Yuna
*Exhales and turns to Rowoon*
Who, to her absolute lack of surprise, looks completely out of his element
His sharp suit is already a mess from the dust inside the palace, and his polished shoes are definitely not made for trekking through the wilderness
Rowoon
*Frowns at the uneven ground as if personally offended by it*
Yuna
Oh, this is going to be fun
Yuna
*Rolls her eyes before giving him a once-over*
Yuna
So… you do know how to walk on rough terrain, right?
Rowoon
*Raises an eyebrow, looking insulted*
Rowoon
Of course, I do. It’s just—
Before he can finish, his foot lands on a loose rock, and he nearly faceplants into the ground
Rowoon
*Clears his throat, regaining his balance, and pretends nothing happened*
Yuna
( If I was alone,I would already be halfway down the trail by now. But with Mr. Graceful here, I am stuck for sure )
Yuna
*Takes the lead, hopping over rocks with ease*
Rowoon, on the other hand
Rowoon
*Takes careful, exaggerated steps like he’s walking on a minefield*
Yuna watches for a while, amusement growing as he stumbles over a branch, nearly trips over nothing, and grips onto tree trunks like they’re his lifeline
Finally, she can't hold it in anymore
Yuna
Wow. You really have a talent for this
Rowoon
It’s not my fault this place is—unwalkable. Why didn’t they build actual paths here?
Yuna
Because it’s a forest, Rowoon. Not a five-star resort
Yuna
*Smirks, tilting her head*
Yuna
I’m starting to think you’ve been pampered your whole life
Rowoon
*Scoffs, stepping over a rock carefully—only to slip again*
He barely catches himself, but now there’s dirt on his sleeve. He looks personally offended
Yuna
*Bites back a laugh and grins mischievously*
Yuna
You know what? I should call you Mr. Cinderella
Yuna
Perfectly dressed? Check
Yuna
Can’t walk on his own? Check
Yuna
Complaining about the lack of luxury? Double check
Yuna
Tell me, Mr. Cinderella, do you need a royal escort to carry you back?
Rowoon
*Narrows his eyes, crossing his arms*
She hops over a log effortlessly, then turns back, watching as Rowoon hesitates, eyeing the height
Rowoon
*Finally tries to climb over, but his shoe gets stuck in a root*
Yuna watches, fully entertained, as he struggles for a solid ten seconds before finally yanking it free—with zero grace
Yuna
Wow! You did it! I’m so proud of you!
Rowoon
*Gives her an unimpressed look*
Rowoon
You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?
Rowoon
*Mutters something under his breath but follows her anyway*
The journey continues—exactly how Yuna expected. She moves ahead easily, enjoying the thrill, while Rowoon struggles with every step
Every slip, every stumble, every small complaint—Yuna just adds to his fairy tale nickname collection
Yuna
Come on, Prince Charming, we’re not even halfway there yet
Rowoon
*Glares but doesn’t argue. He knows by now—there’s no winning against her*
As thunder rumbles overhead, they quicken their pace
Yuna grins to herself, knowing that this was already the highlight of her day—even if Rowoon wouldn’t agree
