Once Upon a Curse
Description
Love? Ha! How could anyone love me?
I can't even speak for myself! Literally!
Ugh, it's all her fault.
She's the one to blame, that stupid old witch I called "mom",
Why was she so obsessed with this thing called "love", anyways?
Fairytales are hardly realistic.
Hello, my name is Jonghyun.
I'm a prince.
I'm supposed to get married.
But...
My mom accidentally cursed me.
Ugh.
Dear mom,
IS THIS THE REALITY YOU WANTED?!
It was an accident.
At least, that's what they all say.
You didn't like to bother yourself with all this useless gossip.
What the royal family did was none of your concern, nor was it anyone else's.
The prince can't talk? So what? You heard he talked too much anyways.
Maybe this was a good thing.
You were merely a peasant, living life to the best of your ability.
Sometimes, you kind of wanted to just die.
Your mother - excuse me, STEP mother - was a pain in the , and the fact that she decided making your life miserable would better hers was just...
so...
UGH.
"Ugh."
What a useful phrase.
It could describe anything detestable.
Foreword
Welcome to the wonderful kingdom of...well, the name doesn't really matter, does it?
Anyways, back to you.
You're a wonderful girl of about 18.
That's a nice age.
You're technically an adult now in some countries.
In this one, you can
GET MARRIED.
Whoa.
You have this nice, long, dark hair that annoys you, but you can't cut it because it's against the law.
The laws are strange here.
They'll be explained later.
Your eyes are a pleasant hazel color,
which has many jealous since the normal color is a dark, muddy brown.
Except for the royals, of course.
Hazel has gold in it.
It means you might actually be worth something.
That's awesome.
For anyone except you.
Your step-mother is UBER jealous,
so it's only logical that she'd be after anything that gives you even the tiniest bit of happiness.
Like your eyes.
Meet Jonghyun.
He's the prince of this kingdom,
All the girls swoon over his cute smile.
Fluffy hair,
And most importantly,
His voice.
It was pretty awesome if you ever had the chance to hear it.
It was clear, distinct, and kind of beautiful.
But his mom just HAD to go and curse him.
She did it with the best intentions, of course.
Well, it'll all be explained later.
Who else is important in this story?
The Queen, of course!
She loves everything.
Especially love.
Which is why she's so crazy about it.
The King loves her for that,
But he does think she's kind of crazy sometimes.
That's ok.
Then there're the other heartthrobs of the kingdom.
Onew, the clumsy butcher
(Scary that he gets to hold that big knife...)
Key, the town tailor
(See what I did there? Alliteration!)
Minho, the head of castle security
(He's kind of a mystery, to be honest.)
And, Taemin, your adorable little brother.
(He's kind of hard not to like, right?)
But we can't forget your step-mother.
Oh, don't get me started on her.
This woman.
Drives.
Me.
CRAZY.
Oh yeah, I'm your witty narrator.
Every good fairytale needs one!
Don't worry, I'm only here to state the facts.
It'll be like I'm not even here.
But I will be.
Because I'm narrating.
