“Let’s go catch Daehyunie~” A man’s voice said while crawling towards his 4 years old son who was sitting on the couch, biting his finger. A loud yet happy screaming was heard all over the house as the little boy tried to runs from being catch by his father.

“Let’s go catch Daehyunie~”

“Daehyunie, be careful honey!” This time it was woman’s voice which belongs to the little boy’s mother. She was preparing their breakfast on the table while watching them.

“Mommy!” Daehyun runs to hide his small body behind his mother.

“Oh? Where is Daehyunie going? Appa can’t see you~” His father pretends not to see his son as he’s backfacing them. His wife turned her head to take a look over her son who put on his finger on his mouth, asking to keep quiet. She laughed at her cute son.

“Yeobo, where is Daedae? I can’t seem to find him.”

“I don’t know too. Where is he, huh?” Her mother played along. Daehyun decides to stop the mini game they had as he peeked through his mother’s leg.

“Appa! Daedae is here!” But his father still keep pretending looking somewhere else other than his son. Daehyun laughed happily. He comes out from his hiding place and stands in front of his father.

“Yeobo, I heard Daedae’s voice! Where is he could be?” His father put his point finger on his mouth as a thinking gesture. She shook her head at her childish husband while pouring a coffee into the cup.

“Appa! Daedae is here!” Daehyun wrapped his small hands around his father’s neck and screaming when his father tickled him out of a blue.

“Appa, it’s ticklish!”

Daehyun jolted out his body from his bed while panting heavily. The sweat was formed all over his forehead as his eyes were shaking. He pushed his smooth hair to the back and trying to stable his breath. He bit his lip lightly. Daehyun was so shocked because of his dreaming as he sat there for a while to clear out his mind. Who are they?

Daehyun was walking with both of his hands inside the pocket to his locker. He was still thinking and cannot forget about his sudden dream until he reached his destination. He entered the password and opened it with a blank mind. Without caring whatever lesson he had, he just took his books casually and decided that he had a lot of times before the class starts so he leaned on the locker. His face was looking on his shoes like it was the most interesting thing.

“Yah! Move! I need to get my books!” Youngjae’s voice bring him out to the real life as he looked up from the ground. There was Youngjae standing in front of him with bossy face of her.

“Huh?”

“You’re sure deaf. I said move!” Youngjae wastes no time to kick Daehyun’s shin hardly. Once again. Daehyun couldn’t help but yelped loudly as it gained the attention from the students nearby.

“Yah! Can you stop kicking me?! Aish, it’s really hurt!” Daehyun didn’t budge on his spot as he stands in one foot to ease the pain on his right leg. He decided to piss off the princess a bit just to watch her angry reaction. It kind of amused him.

“Serve you right. Now, move.” Youngjae scoffed.

“How comes your brother was so nice to me that day but his sister was completely different? I’m begins to doubt it. Are you really related to each other?”

“What do you care? I do what I want. If it’s not my brother, you must be lost your job!”

“Sure that’s right. But that’s my business with CEO Yoo.”

“His business is my business too since he’s my brother, you stupid. You have no choice but to deal with me. So now move or else I make your world like hell.” Youngjae raised her left leg, ready to kick on the most painful part of men if Daehyun still doesn’t make a move.

“Okay, okay! Geez.” Daehyun put his hands up in surrender when he knows well what the kick for and move aside. He watched Youngjae dropped her leg and started to enter the password of her locker.

“I didn’t know your locker was beside me. What I did wrong in my previous life to be end up with you, Barbie? Aish, cham.” Daehyun tried to walk away but Youngjae got him by kicking his leg once again.

“Aish! Stop kicking me!”

“Don’t call me with that ugly nickname! I don’t like it! I’m more beautiful than those dolls.”

“Oh please~ As far as I ever lived in my life, there’s more beautiful girls than you outside there. You’re just full of yourself, BARBIE.”

Youngjae clenched her teeth tightly while staring intensely at the blonde boy through her crescent eyes as if Daehyun looks so small to her. But something clicked on her mind which making a smirk curved on her lip. Daehyun frowned.

“Are these the ways you are trying to get on me? To gain my attention because I am your secret crush? Oh my god! How can I forgot this? You’re trying to be a jerk to me because there’s no way would any guys resists me.” Youngjae said. Daehyun looked at the princess like she had grew another head on her.

“Me? Have crush on you? I must be crazy then. Please, kindly call the ambulance to send me to the mental hospital. You sure don’t want to have a crazy guy like me, right? Geez. Talking with you just waste my time.” Daehyun scoffed as he gives the princess a last glance before he walked away for the sake of his life.

Youngjae glared at the blonde boy in disbelief. How dare he insults her like that? In front of the students who had been watching the whole drama that had been showed. Her eyes was burning in fire as she determined to get her revenge later.

“Just wait, Jung Daehyun. No one ever resist Yoo Youngjae. If you don’t like me, then I just seduce you till you falls hard on me.” She laughed evilly.

The school went fast without everyone noticed it already end.

“Don’t forget to do your assignment. And I would love to meet with Jung Daehyun and Yoo Youngjae for a while. Come here both of you.” Mr Haneul said as he dismissed the students. Daehyun nodded while putting his books inside the worn out bag. Youngjae immediately walked to the front of the class where Mr Haneul was with her bag slung over her shoulder.

“See you tomorrow, Daehyun-ah.” Jongup pats his shoulder in friendly manner before leaving the classroom with Naeun.

“Is this about the competition, ssaem?” Youngjae is the first one asked to their music teacher.

“Yeah.. have both of you decides what song yet?”

“Oh.. we haven’t it yet. I was thinking to go to Youngjae’s house to discuss about this after school ends. We informed you as soon as possible it is. So don’t worry, ssaem.”

“Alright. I’m sure you guys knows how to choose the song well since both of you are the best out of everyone. I hope you guys do your best in the competition. Practice hard, okay?”

“Yes ssaem!” Both of them replied in unison. Mr Haneul chuckled.

“You know what.. you guys looks good together. Maybe you should think to date to each other. I’ll take my leave first.” Mr Haneul said as he smiled towards them before left Daehyun and Youngjae in a confusion.

“Let’s go.” Youngjae brushed it off easily as she walked out of the classroom while Daehyun following her from behind obediently.

“Hey Barbie. Where do you live? I hope it is not so far from my workplace. I have to get there before 7.” Daehyun asked. He glanced at his watch which showing 4 in the evening. He needs to manage his time between the work and the practice.

“Do you really want to dead? I told you before. Stop calling me Barbie.” Youngjae replied in annoyance. Daehyun laughed seeing this while Youngjae glared at him angrily.

“Oh come on. It suits you well. Plus it amused me enough looking at your angry face even you kicked me so many times.”

“Stupid Busan.” Youngjae mumbled as she was lazy to argue and getting inside the car where her butler had opened the car door. Daehyun blinked for a while as he stared at the expensive car in front of him in awe.

“Yah! Get in you stupid before I leave you! I don’t have all the time waiting for you.” Youngjae shouts to the blonde boy. Daehyun immediately get himself inside the car as Youngjae’s butler closed it. The butler then drove away from school. Still in awe, he runs his finger on the leather seat of the car with an ‘O’ formed on his mouth. Youngjae watched him weirdly.

“Have you never see a car? Wipe off that stupid looks of yours.” Youngjae said.

“It’s my first time riding an expensive car though. Just let me be. I won’t do anything.” Daehyun replied without looking at Youngjae beside him. The princess scoffed as she just the blonde boy in his own world by looking outside the window. Along the journey to her house, Daehyun was well-behaved as he did keep himself from doing anything except by playing with a tigger inside the car after asking the permission. Youngjae shook her head at the childish behavior that she saw for the first time of this side of Daehyun.

“Why do you have this tigger in the car?” Daehyun asked as he played with a happy smile on his face. Youngjae couldn’t help but smiled seeing the tigger on Daehyun’s hands. She immediately put on her poker face the second Daehyun turned his head towards the princess.

“It’s belong to my uncle’s son. His name is Jaehwan. I always brings him out during weekends.” Youngjae answered him kindly.

Daehyun nodded in understand as he said nothing after that. When they were arrived at Youngjae’s house or should be called as mansion, Daehyun once again completely immersed with the sight of the huge mansion displayed in front of his eyes. He never thought Youngjae was this rich to have a house like a castle.

“What are you waiting for? Get off!” Youngjae snapped at Daehyun when he’s still in his own world. Daehyun then just realized that they already arrived as he get off the car. He bowed the butler politely and followed the princess inside the mansion. He was struck on his mind while gasping quietly looking  the whole living room fulled with expensive furnitures.

“Mummy! I’m home!” Youngjae’s high-pitch voice makes Daehyun cringed as he cupped his poor ear, cursing Youngjae in his mind.

“You’re back honey? Oh? Who is this? I never saw you bring someone other than Jongup and Naeun before.” A beautiful woman who resemble with Youngjae comes out from the kitchen which Daehyun immediately bowed to her.

“Annyeonghaseyo, I’m Daehyun. Youngjae’s classmates.”

“Daehyun? Ah.. that one Youngjae talked about to me. I’m Youngjae’s mother. Just call me Aunty Yoo okay?” Younha gave him a motherly smile. Daehyun could noticed a little change expression from Youngjae’s mother when he tells his name but he just let it off by returning the smile.

“Mummy, we will be inside my room okay? We have something to discuss regarding the competition.”

Youngjae said as she hugged her mother and kissed both of Younha’s cheeks. Her mother kissed her nose in reply which makes Youngjae’s giggled. She loves it when her mother do that because she feels loved by Younha as her only daughter. Daehyun was stunned with the giggle as it was the first time he saw the affectionate side of Youngjae. It kind makes his heart fluttered because the princess always being grumpy when he is around her.

“Mummy will call you when dinner is done. And Daehyun, kindly stay for dinner too.” Younha said as she broke the hug.

“Ah, yes. Thank you, aunty.” Daehyun bowed once again before she left them to go to Youngjae’s bedroom at upstair.

When they reached there, Youngjae throws her bag on the bed as she casually stripped her uniform school, leaving her body with a white singlet which making Daehyun yelped in surprise.

“Yah! What are you doing?!” He covered his innocent eyes. His heart was beating like crazy as it also was his first time saw a half- girl in his life! He didn’t know how many times he had cursed Youngjae in his mind.

“What? Stop being a ert and turn around. I want to change my clothes.” Youngjae told him as she smirked at Daehyun. The blonde boy quickly turned around as he faced the closed door. His ears already turned red by the time Youngjae said the word ‘ert’.

“I-I am not being a ert! Y-you are the one suddenly stripped yourself in front of me.” Daehyun stuttered. He felt embarrassed as he closed his eyes, wanted to hit his head on the wall.

Youngjae chuckled while putting on her pink baggy shirt along with a short pant which enough to cover half of her thigh. She was used to wear them in the house as it more comfortable to her. Younha did complained about it because she thinks it was unapproriate for Youngjae when she has two sons. But then she let it off after the sons said it was okay for them and didn’t want their sister feels somewhat uncomfortable around them.

“I’m done.” Youngjae said when she finished dressing up and sits on her queen size bed. She her smartphone to see if there any message from Naeun or Jongup. Daehyun turned to face her back but regret it immediately after seeing Youngjae’s milky white thigh. He gulped on his saliva and shook his head rapidly to calm his ert mind.

“What are you doing, stupid? Sit there. We should start choosing the song and practice.” Youngjae ordered the blonde boy while scrolling on her music player. Daehyun couldn’t help but sighed loudly as he took a seat on Youngjae’s chair that had been placed not so far from the bed.

This is going to be hard.. Oh god, please give me a mercy!
