"See, Miss Jieun," Leeteuk said once they left the secret game room. "The masters aren't bad people."

"Well, I guess. Other than Key-ssi and sorta Minho-ssi, they seem pretty friendly..." Jieun replied.

"Master Minho has his reasons. Around a year ago, his girlfriend hurt him terribly, so he isn't too trusting of the female kind," Leeteuk explained.

"What happened?"

"That, I'm not too sure of myself. But the fact that he laughed at your comment earlier, is already extremely surprising. Normally, Master Minho ignores girls completely."

"Oh, I see..." I wonder what the girl did that made Minho-ssi so distrusting. It must have been something really bad...

Leeteuk glanced at his smartphone to read a message and check the time. It was 5:37pm.

"Miss Jieun, since it's already fairly late, there won't be time for me to show you around," he said.

"Show me around?"

"Yes, the estate is huge, so we ordered a gps unit for you until you are comfortable with everything. However, it won't come until the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, thanks. But I don't think that will be necessary," Jieun replied.

Leeteuk politely waved his hand, indicating that she shouldn't argue.

"It's your grandfather's request. And speaking of him, Wang likes eating dinner promptly at 6:30."

"6:30? That's pretty early," she commented.

"Is that too early for you, Miss? You may request to change the time. Is 7:00 fine?"

"Ah, I'll just eat dinner at 6:30."

"All right then. I have some business that I need to take care of, so I'll call someone to take you to your room. Please wait here for a moment, Miss."

Leeteuk bowed and with that, he briskly headed off while typing on his phone.

A minute later, someone approached her.

"Is the little wittle princess lost?" the person asked in a mocking tone.

Oh no, it's Key! "What are you doing here, Key-ssi?"

"Leeteuk hyung called me to bring you to your room. Such a nuisance. You can't even find your way around." Key rolled his eyes.

"It's only my first day here!" Jieun angrily retorted.

"It might be your last day here as well," Key added with gleaming eyes.

Another prince approached her.

"Key, Leeteuk hyung told you to show the princess to her room. Not socialize," Jonghyun reprimanded.

"Whatever, hyung. It doesn't matter." Key shrugged in a careless manner.

"But if Wang hears about this, my friend, what do you think will happen?"

Key stiffened. "I...don't care," he replied.

"Sure you don't," Jonghyun said sarcastically.

Then to Jieun, "Princess, I'll bring you to your room. Come."

Jonghyun grabbed Jieun's hand and gently pulled her toward her room.

When they were out of Key's earshot, Jieun asked, "What's his problem?"

"Princess, who are you talking to?" Jonghyun replied.

"Jonghyun-ssi. I mean, o-oppa?"

"That's better, princess." He winked. "Now about Key-"

"Wait, why do you call me 'princess'? I have a name you know," Jieun slightly pouted.

"Aw, you look cute when you do that," Jonghyun commented with a smile.

Jieun blushed a little. She had never had a boyfriend before, so this was the first time a guy called her cute.

"Aw, you're blushing too!"

She quickly covered her cheeks.

"I-Is it that obvious?" Jieun quietly asked.

Jonghyun laughed and nodded. "And I call you princess, just 'cause it seems to suit you. A pretty, little, innocent girl. Princess."

"Oh, I see. So you aren't trying to flirt with me?"

He laughed again. "Princess, you're a funny one. I only flirt with normal girls."

"So you think I'm weird?"

"Nah, you are a special one. We've only met for a short time, but I already think of you as my little sister. Think of me as your big brother. Is that okay?"

Jonghyun oppa seems like a really good person. It would be nice to have someone to support me, especially since I feel so out of place here. That's what siblings do, right? Support one another.

"Sure, oppa!"

"Great. Let's head to your room now, 'kay?"

"Araso, oppa.

"It's the biggest bedroom on the first floor. I'm sure you'll love it! I think you'll have time to explore your room and part of the estate after dinner."
