[NO ONE P.O.V]

“WOW! I didn’t know that you had such a voracious appetite! *chuckles* don’t be shy, you are my guests!”

The regent Jin Young added with a heartily laughter and clapped his hands enthusiastically as the shikshin boys swallowed the delicious banquet. With a wide smile, the regent motioned his servants to bring more food to Yoong and Sooyoung:

“Finally I've found someone who appreciates a good food like me. Here, there is more when these ones came from!”

!!!

Yoong and Sooyoung looked to each other with sparkling eyes when the servants brought another round of fresh and tasty meals. Their mouths watered with the diversity of foods, so when they were about to dig in, they felt a double groan of disapproval. Seated across them, there were SeoHyun and Yuri narrowed their eyes at the boys’ immature behavior. Yuri leaned slightly and cupped ’s side as she whispered to SooYoung:

“At least show your gratitude, you guys are eating nonstop since we got here!”

“Yes, oppas… Please, behave yourselves. And both of you shouldn’t eat so much, this could cause a stomachache.”

Seohyun added smartly, yet her semblance was practically begging to the hungry boys be more polite. Yoong and SooYoung looked to each other as they nodded slowly and turned their heads to the regent:

“*CHOMP*THANK*CRUNCH*YOU*CHEW*!” “!!!”

“I can’t believe this…”

“Neither can I…”

Yuri and SeoHyun facepalmed themselves in embarrassment while the boys were smiling happily, and eating their delicious meal without caring about the tomorrow. Their main mission now was to accompany these boys sooner or later… they would need the girls’ help…

[SEOHYUN P.O.V]

“Ya, oppa! I told you to not eat so much! Look at you now!”

I couldn’t help to scold him while we were walking down the palace’s stairs. It wasn’t like that I wanted to say “I told you so…” but if he listened to me, he wouldn’t be like this right now! I was so engrossed in my own thoughts that only when I heard a loud uneasy moan, I stopped my tracks. It was when I finally realized that I was alone since Yoong oppa stopped following me, as soon as I turned around, the scene moved me…

Right before me, Yoong oppa was frowning a little while he was leaning on the wall and rubbing his stomach with a painful expression. A heavy sigh escaped from my lips as I shook my head incredulously and walked to him. My serious expression dissolved when I saw his face; now, before him, I breathe in as I warned gently:

“If you heard me since the beginning, you wouldn’t be like this right now, oppa. Now, we need do something to make this uneasiness disappear.”

He stopped rubbing his stomach and stood on his foot slowly as he waved his hand in dismiss:

“Huh… d-don’t worry, Hyunnie. I am going to be all right, some rest is all I need, I will go back to my room now ok?”

“Na ah ah, mister. You are coming with me. Don’t you know that if you sleep after that huge amount of meal, you can get worse? Now, let’s walk a little to make all this food wears out.”

“But—“ Yoong-oppa tried to bargain, but no use, I was firmly engrossed to help him:

“Oh and I just found a place for a nice walk. Follow me!”

The words in my mouth were said in excitement when I caught a glimpse of a beautiful and wide garden trough the palace’s window. Without thinking twice, I reached his left hand by impulse while we walked to the palace’s entrance. That moment, I did not hear more words from him… So, while we walking on the palace large yard, we were welcomed by the most beautiful garden that I ever saw. Only one word escaped from my lips:

“Beautiful…”

    


Then, when I came back to my senses, I realized that I was holding Yoong oppa’s hand all this time… Omona! I rapidly removed my hand of his as I managed to laugh nervously while eyeing at him. Hmmm odd, his semblance was so different, it was almost like if he was… disappointed? No, I guess I am overreacting, it must be it. We kept strolling by the beautiful and large garden until we found a huge sakura tree. Seeing that oppa was a little tired due the slight sweat running by his forehead, I sympathized with him as I only smiled and wiped the sweat with my handkerchief:

“Hyunnie, you are going to stain your beautiful tissue. Don’t worry.”

A chuckle escaped from my lips as I motioned to the tree with my head and kept wiping the beads of sweat. The time stopped briefly, our eyes locked for a moment and I felt a huge rush of warmth invaded my body. Oh those doe-eyes… his eyes are so innocent and caring at the same time that I felt a sudden shiver running all over me. Honestly, I don’t know why this is happening, I meant… this isn’t normal for me, and… and I never felt this way.

Although I felt solely captured by his stare, I cleared my throat quickly as I pulled him to the huge sakura tree. After searching for the right spot, I smiled in realization as I seated on the vivid grass. Once I looked up, Yoong-oppa was looking down to me with a suave grin as if he was waiting for my invitation. Which I gladly tapped the spot beside me with a content smirk displayed on my lips; his smile widened as he gingerly kneeled and found his way beside me, while our backs were against the bole’s tree.

We were in silence while watching the perfect scenario before us: the butterflies dancing in the air with the magnificent glow; the colorful flowers of many kinds and different beauties; and lastly, the delicate petals surrounding us while falling from the Sakura’s tree… it was amazing. But, then, just like when I was admiring the garden’s beauty, I realized that oppa was having a bad time to stay still on his spot, his head was swaying to both sides and his expression still was uneasy. However, I was surprised when he opened his eyes slowly and smiled apologetically when his head accidentally hit my shoulder. Hmm this isn’t good, he must having a bad time, why didn’t he tell me?

Nonetheless, I couldn’t stop my moves, when I realized, I were already placing his head gingerly in my lap to make him feel more comfortable. When I looked down to him, I couldn’t help to giggle when he sighed in content:

“So… is that better?”

“Much better… thank you, Hyunnie.”

I smiled warmly at him, the way he called me made me feel so good inside, completely different from anyone I've ever met. I only could answer sincerely: “That’s fine, Yoong oppa.”

[YOONG P.O.V]

“That’s fine, Yoong oppa.”

Ahhh did I tell you that I loved it when she called me like this? It's sound so different and nice in her voice… it made me feel fuzzy and good inside… Even with a persistent stomachache troubling me a bit, it wasn’t that bad at all… I meant … when would I get this chance again? Only God knew, but for now… I would enjoy every single second. Although the words weren’t exchange between us; I still felt comfortable around her… Yet, I missed her voice more. So, I opened my eyes and looked up at her as I started slowly:

“Hey, Hyunnie…”

“Yes, oppa?” She replied with a smile and I couldn’t help to cough to hide my blush. I looked away again as I asked in curiosity:

“Hey, I was wondering if…”

“If?” I gulped in uneasiness since I was about to ask of a sensitive subject, still I was really curious about something which was bugging me for awhile:

“Hmm… I was wondering if… if you… er I mean… why do you… have… boyphobia?”

“Eh?!” I rapidly seated as I widened my eyes trying to explain myself when I saw her shocked semblance due to my question:

“I – I mean… some days ago… I – I heard Tae hyung and Fany noona talking about this… is t-that true? B-but if you don’t feel comfortable about this that’s fine for me, seriously.”

The words quickly left my mouth since I didn’t want to give her a bad time. I was regretting of my bold question, but when I saw her fidgeting her fingers coyly… I swore… it was the cutest thing that I'd ever seen… I only snapped for the dreamland when I heard her shy and uneven voice:

“Well… isn’t th-that I don’t like boys, but… but sometimes… they frighten me a little…”

My eyebrows creased in confusion, yet there was me engrossed into her explanation as I gave my full attention to her:

“How come?” She breathed heavily and started again:

“I don’t know how to explain… but d-do you remember of KyuHyun on our school?”

My face darkened in displease at the memory, if I wasn’t there… who knew what that freaking b@stard would do! Aish, he is going to see me if he messed with her again! But back to her… she realized my displeased expression and she continued:

“He and his gang… well, they kept bothering me all the time… not just him… but sometimes other boys too. That’s why I don’t socialize with other boys anymore… only Tae oppa and Jesse oppa…”

She stopped for a brief moment and a shy smile played in her lips as she looked at me deeply:

“But I am glad that I found new and special friends like SooYoung oppa and… you, oppa.”

Although I felt happy due to her confession, part of my heart ached due to her words… “friends”… I mean, of course we are friends… but sometimes I wonder if friends feel this, like how I am feeling for her now. I couldn’t show her that her words affected me, so I faked a smile and I placed my hands on her shoulders, speaking sincerely:

“As soon we got back to our world… there is a promise that I would like to make.”

Suddenly she looked surprised and curious at my remark as she quickly kneeled before me and asked with glowing eyes:

“What, oppa?” I smiled at her interest and in a snap of second; I hooked my pinky on hers as I told honestly:

“I promise that I will be your personal knight or… your bodyguard as soon we go back. With me, you don’t need be worried anymore. I am sure that I will protect you from that guy’s attacks from now on.”

It took some seconds to her semblance change… that moment I felt my lips moving to upwards when she smiled beautifully at me. Oh my God… I am melting… She pursed her lips in awe as she squeezed my pinky with her own as we sealed our promise. Yet, automatically, while we were swaying our intertwined fingers, I used this chance to unwrap my finger and then, held her soft hands inside of my own.

*THUMP* THUMP* THUMP*

While looking each other in the eyes, I felt myself getting warm under her strong gaze, the only thing I could do, was looking at her at the same intensity. We held our hands for awhile, just enjoying the other’s presence and warmth. But, when we looked to our surroundings, we realized that the sun was setting slowly. Although I wanted to make this moment last, I took a deep breath as I stood up in one move and dragged her along. Our eyes met again, and she giggled at the sight of my probably goofy expression. I asked why she was laughing, and she shook her head, answering with a small smile:

“You are feeling better, right?”

Oh that’s true… ever since we got here, I wasn’t feeling uncomfortable anymore, *chuckles* maybe it was her special spell. A timid chuckle escaped from my lips… odd, I am not shy, at least I think so… Aish… well, I could only nod in agreement and gulp since the words failed in my throat. With a content smirk, she bowed her head and spoke gently:

“I am really happy to know that. Now, let’s go back.”

Before nodding in agreement, something clicked on my mind when I saw many roses a couple meters away from us. Getting an idea, I smiled mischievously as I motioned to her to not look back and closed her eyes. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously at me, but she gave in when I pouted and used my doe-eyes to convince her. Now with her eyes closed, I rushed to the field with many adorable and beautiful red roses. I was pondering on which flower I should take to her… a flower that it could describe what she meant to me…

Then, a lonely white rose was behind of the red ones; I smiled since I found what I was looking for. Not wasting time, I reached the rose and rushed to Hyunnie again; now before her, I said gently while I placed the rose before her:

“You can open your eyes now, Hyunnie.”

*Gasp* I smiled in satisfaction when I saw her surprised expression. She looked at me with those melting brown eyes and I felt my heart unstable again. So she stepped closer and creased her browns with a tender semblance; her hands reached the flower in my hands and she caressed the petals gingerly. Looking up to meet my anxious stare, she gasped again when she saw my hands. I frowned in confusion as she tenderly reached my hand and spoke gently:

“Oppa! Your finger!” As soon I looked to the spot, I saw a small amount of blood on my fingertip. Honestly, it wasn’t hurting but when I realized, she already removed a red ribbon from her outfit and wrapped around my injury. I watched everything completely dumbfounded; she thumbed the wounded spot carefully as she looked up to me. Suddenly, Seohyun gave me the most beautiful smile that I'd ever seen; she held my hand and spoke:

“It is beautiful… actually… it the most beautiful flower that I've ever received… maybe because it’s the first one I got *giggles*”

Her remark surprised me; I couldn’t believe that someone never gave her a flower, well lucky me. Yet, the words escaped from my mouth before I could stop them:

“I just want to give you a flower which can say everything you mean to me… your purity, your innocence, your honor… in other words… what makes you different, makes you… beautiful from inside and outside.”

After I realized what I just said, she looked at me with a shocked expression. I was pondering in I would be in major problems now, but I was just saying the truth… she is perfect… Seeing that she was motionless, I scratched the back of my neck furiously, trying to find a way to fix everything. But then… the time stopped when I felt something soft and warm in my left cheek. Suddenly my mind was blank; when I finally realized, Seohyun stepped back with a flushed face. She looked at me, shocked with her own move and lowered her head in embarrassment to cover her flushed face. Starting blabbering, she was hyperventilating when she sprinted away from me:

“Oh, I g-got- to-go. B-bye, Yoong o-oppa!”

“But--!!!”

I only could watch her leave as I still was flabbergasted; when the scene replayed on my mind, it was my turn to gasp… S-she s-she k-ki-kissed me?! WHAT?! AND I COULDN’T SAY ANYTHING! AISH, I AM REALLY SLOW! While I scolded myself, my own thoughts dissipated as I remembered her face and her kiss all over again. The softness, warmth and the tenderness made my heart goes wild on *THUMP* THUMP* THUMP*. My body was involved by a warm wave as I felt my cheeks burning in result. Instantaneously, I placed my hand on my cheek, and I closed my eyes slowly:

“Still is warm… Hyunnie…”

I never felt this way… and it was amazing… Unconsciously, the corner of my lips moved upwards and then, a goofy and wide smile formed on my lips as I still cupped the same spot where she kissed. Finally, I walked back to the palace… as if I was on the cloud nine…

==============================================================================

Meanwhile, some hours earlier…


[YURI P.O.V]

“Ahhhhhhh… it hurts…” I stopped my tracks for the millionth time since Sooyoung was always finding a wall to lean in and rub his stomach. I counted until 10 as I sighed heavily, I couldn’t help to scold him:

“If you and Yoong had listen to me since the beginning… you guys wouldn’t have this stomachache! Now look at you, you can't even stand up!”

“Yuri-ah! Please, be a good girl, my stomach already is punishing me a lot. Can't we find a place to rest, huh?”

“Aish… let's go over there.” I took a deep breath as I reached his hand and we walked to the palace’s fountain. For a moment, I couldn’t help to realize how perfect our hands were clasped together. I mean, holding his hand like this, I feel so safe, protected and warm at the same time. It’s something that I've never felt before, I wonder how long I am feeling this…

“I think here is good, right Yuri-ah?” My train of thoughts was interrupted when he tugged my hand and he pointed to fountain. When my eyes locked on our intertwined hands, I blushed immediately when I saw what I was doing. So I quickly removed my hand and nervously speaking:

“Hehe I guess so… Err… shall we sit?”

He simply nodded and seated, but I could see on his expression that he still was uncomfortable. When I looked around, I smiled when I saw a perfect spot between some tall trees. I tugged his hand once again to catch his attention and it worked. He peeled one eye open and I pointed to the spot while speaking to him:

“Why don’t we lie there? I think you would get a proper rest, don’t you agree?”

His smile widened as he stood up and ruffled my hair playfully making me pout. He reached my hand and spoke genuinely:

“It looks like you knows me well haha.”

Palace's yard

I could only laugh at his statement and now, we walked to the softy and green grass. The place was beautiful; the yellow flowers surrounded us and the shadow’s tree was perfectly settled above our heads, yes, everything was perfect. Slowly, we lied side by side on the grassy field as we stared the cerulean sky above our heads. The clouds were passing by slowly and the wind was pleasant. Honestly, this one of the best moments tha
