The moment he opened his mouth to sing, the crowd went silent. It was their first time to hear his singing voice and they didn't expect that it would be good. He didn't bother the crowd as his attention was only focused on her. He did his best to learn how to play guitar and it seemed like it was a mission accomplished. She stared at him in awe, feeling her heart beating so fast. Some students behind her noticed their eye contact until a few of them started to give her some space. 

A member of the Journalism Department took photos of them and he made sure that the scoop he will write will be part of the front page of the school newspaper. She just noticed her environment when he finished singing. She turned around to leave but Gia quickly caught her arm to pull her back. Of course, she will help one of her best friends to be together with the girl he likes. A small smile formed on his lips and they started another song. Everyone knows that the Second Prince got a good voice, so he had a duet with the Third Prince. 

"What—" The Sixth Princess almost stumbled back when a hand pulled her away from the crowd. Her eyes widened when she realized that it was the First Prince. 

He gently nuzzled his palm against her cheek before pinning her on the wall. Her heartbeat went crazy, almost pushing him away but he was too fast, kissing her lips lightly. She wanted to ask him why he did that but the kiss became sweet the second time around. She was a little thankful that it was dark. He will not be able to see her flustered face. 

It was almost midnight when the event ended. The youngest Princess shivered. She forgot to bring her jacket. She looked for her twin brother  but she remembered that he went to their office to get some documents. She felt a soft white hoodie over her shoulders. She couldn't look at him but she accepted it. She muttered a small thanks but he took it and wore it on her instead. 

"Thank you for coming." He said softly and she nodded while biting her lips. She lifted her head to look at him but she took a step backwards when his face was too close to hers. 

"I enjoyed it. I didn't expect that you would sing." She almost stuttered and he smiled. She saw his fingers again and she reached for it. 

"Does it hurt?" She asked and his smile went wider when he saw her getting worried about it. She opened her sling bag and took a small box of band-aids. 

"Let's change it." She mumbled, being careful to remove the dirty band-aids wrapped around his fingers. He winced in pain when one of the band-aids accidentally pulled a small patch of skin from his wounds. 

"Let's go to the infirmary instead." She looked at him and he nodded. She held his wrist instead while walking in the hallways. 

When they arrived there, they saw that the nurse was not around. She looked for betadine to disinfect his wounds. He sat on the bed and waited for her. When she found it, she took a cotton ball and soaked it with the betadine. She gently tended his wounds and then, she blew it softly before wrapping his fingers up with new and fresh band-aids. He held her arm before pulling her for a hug. 

"I-is there something wrong? Does it still hurt?" She asked and he shook his head. She hesitated but in the end, she hugged him back. Her phone suddenly rang. He released her from the hug and she looked at the caller. It is her brother. 

"I need to go now. Mako-nii is looking for me already." She said but before she could even answer the call, he kissed her lips deeply once again. 

She gripped on her phone tightly and closed her eyes to kiss him back. The kiss lasted for a minute until the call was dropped. Her phone rang again and he cupped her cheeks to keep her eyes upon her. He left a few more soft pecks on her lips and she blushed faintly. They walked out of the infirmary, turning the lights off before closing the door. Her pace went fast, almost running as she knew that her brother was going to call her again. 

"Can I court you?" She stopped from her tracks and then, she turned around to look at him. He was still in front of the infirmary. She took a deep breath and nodded while smiling sweetly. 

She didn't know why she took a step backwards before running towards him. He caught her in his arms and hugged her tightly once more. He kissed her forehead and wished her a good night before letting her go. She didn't speak anymore and just waved her hand before completely leaving the premises. He took his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. 

"Prepare the documents. I'm accepting the offer of the Hasegawa Clan about building a private museum near the planetarium." He said to the person from the other line, ending the call after. 

On the other side, the First Prince opened the door for her. She went out of his car and her eyes widened in awe. Despite the fact that it is already late, the city lights are still on and it is beautiful. They went to the skyscraper that his family owns. They exchanged no words but only intimacy. He hugged her from behind while standing near the glass windows. 

"Us.. We can't be together.." He muttered. She looked down and nodded her head. She already accepted that. There are things that she can't really have even though a shooting star passes by and wishes for it.
