Broken Promise
The Prince Behind The Mask
It was already night time as Reika arrived at the forest miles away from her kingdom, she was looking around when she stopped...
'Stay here, Blue Heart...' Reika ordered when she noticed that the wand was glowing when they passed a spot on the ground
'Why is the wand glowing?' Reika removed the soil that was covering a part
Then she successfully dug out a satchel, she opened it and saw--a long rectangular case & a chest...
First, she opened the chest and saw a silver hairbursh with a mirror--Reika hardly recognized it...
'I think I saw this before...maybe, it's the brush that umma used for me while I was a kid' Reika observed it & it was her umma's hairbrush
'Hmm, I never saw this mirror before...umma said that by musical magic, a person trapped inside will appear in the mirror' she remembered
Next, she opened the case & saw silver flute--it was a shiny one, a sparkling silver flute..
'Yesung-Oppa said that the flute that appa gave to umma can be heard anywhere when played, but then he said that someone stole it & hid it...' Reika placed her fingers on the right holes & started to play the flute
-------------------------------------
'Huh? What's that sound?' Ryeowook woke up & ran to Yesung's room
'Yesung! Yesung! Wake up! Wake up, Yesung!' Ryeowook shook the prince and he slowly woke up
'What is it, Wookie?' Yesung rubbed his eyes
'Listen...' the 2 became silent for a moment then Yesung gasped
'S-someone's playing umma's flute! But...it was buried in the forest, no one can find it unless you have the staff--' he trailed off when he remembered Reika with the staff
'Reika...she's playing umma's flute...' Yesung said
'If she found the flute, then she also found the hairbrush & the mirror...' Ryeowook added
'Aish! I want to go to her!'
-------------------------------------
Onew woke up from his slumber, also Taemin...
'Hyung, is that a flute sound I'm hearing?' Taemin asked
'Deh, but who's playing? That flute was buried by me, who would dig it out and how did they find it?' Onew wondered
-------------------------------------
'Hey, Henry!' Zhou Mi called Henry from outside his room while Henry was measuring his height
'Are you playing your flute?' Zhou Mi asked
'I don't have a flute, gege!' Henry said & Zhou Mi immediately looked at him
'You don't? Then who's playing the flute?' Zhou Mi looked around
'Gege, don't you think that someone found the satchel?'
'What satchel?' it seems that Zhou Mi can't remember
'THE satchel...the one that was buried by Onew-ssi' Henry reminded him
'Aniyo, why would she search for it? It's not like the princess gave up her position, right?'
-------------------------------------
While Reika was playing the flute, the mirror started glowing...she noticed it and stopped--she held the mirror & saw her reflection...
'I don't understand, I wish I can talk to someone...' Reika sighed
'Like me?!'
Reika screamed & almost dropped the mirror after a face appeared inside the mirror, a girly face to be exact...
'W-who are you?' Reika asked
'Oh! I'm Kim Heechul~ I'm the person inside this mirror...' "Heechul" introduce himself
'H-how did you get in there?'
'Well...let me show you...'
FLASHBACK...
Heechul was in his room staring at a mirror that was given by his friend, Hangeng--then one time, Hangeng came...
'What's wrong, Hannie?' Heechul said with a worried face
'It's just that...r-remember the girl that caused your accident?' Hangeng asked him & he nodded
'Deh, wae?'
'I-I...I love her...' Hangeng whispered but loud enough for Heechul to hear
'W-what?! Hannie! You promised that you will hate her! I almost lost my face because of her!!!' Heechul yelled
'W-wait, Heechul...you don't know how I feel, I-I...I love her!' Hangeng said which made Heechul shocked
'Y-you love...her...?' Hangeng sighed
'I'm sorry, Chullie--'
'Don't you dare call me like that, traitor...' Heechul glared
'But I still love her, Heechul...you can't do anything about it--'
'ENOUGH!' Heechul cut him off by his scream
'Just leave...I don't want to hear anything about that girl coming from you! I want to be alone with my mirror...'
'But Heechul--'
'I said LEAVE!' Heechul screamed & threw the mirror towards Hangeng's neck and he got hit
'Heechul...' Hangeng wiped the blood because of the shards that hit his neck & left Heechul alone
'How can he love her?! I almost lost my face because of her! He made a promise! Aish! That jerk!' Heechul screamed
'You should be ashamed of yourself, Kim Heechul!' a voice said
'Why should I? That Hangeng broke our promise!' Heechul defended himself
'For someone's sake, he was injured because of your temper!' the voice fought back
'Why do you care?'
Days later•••
Hangeng was walking with the girl he loves at the park, they were having a great day...
'Hmph, those 2...let's see if you can still breath after this' Heechul aimed a poison arrow at the girl
No one noticed, then...Heechul released the rope & the arrow went to the girl's arm and the poison inside it spread fast...
'Perfect...' he smirked
'NO!' the girl fell & Heechul saw Hangeng carry her then ran away
'Hehe...good luck with her, you traitor' Heechul whispered & left the park
Back at his room•••
'Hmm...I already killed her, but why do I feel guilty?' Heechul thought & sighed
'What have you done, Kim Heechul?!' the voice came back
'What do you care?'
'You caused Hangeng's depression! He won't even come out of his room!'
'So? I don't care...' Heechul stood up & went outside his room
When Heechul passed through Hangeng's room, he heard his crying voice--so he decided to stop & planned to knock on the door...
But when he was about to, his hands stopped--it was like he wouldn't move...it was like that until Hangeng went out of his room with a glare on his face
He glared at Heechul who was in shock, Hangeng controlled his urge to hit him...
'I hope you're happy, Heechul...the girl who almost broke your face & the one I was supposed to proposed to is now gone. Goodbye, I'm changing my position...' that was Hangeng's last words to Heechul before he left
'No...wait, Hannie!' Heechul tried to call him but Hangeng just waved
'See? See what you have done to him? You made him leave!'
'I-I don't care if he leaves me! I-I can live by myself!' Heechul stuttered
'Stop lying, Heechul! Since you only care about yourself and not anyone else--you shall be trapped in the mirror until Hangeng will forgive you!'
END OF FLASHBACK...
'After that, I woke up inside this mirror...I tried everything I can to escape, but nothing worked.' Heechul finished
'Heechul-ssi...' Heechul started sobbing & tears were visible
'I...I miss him, I-I want everything to be normal again! I don't want to stay here!' Heechul started to cry
'Don't cry, Heechul-ssi...you'll be out there soon'
'Everyone who found me said that, but they just left me!' Heechul screamed
'I won't leave you, Heechul-ssi...'
'Shut up, it's not like you know Hangeng...' Heechul wiped his tears
'Hangeng-ssi is the assistant of judge Kim Young Woon!'
'So...he did change his position, he's not a knight anymore' Heechul sighed & looked away
'Blue Heart~!' Reika called and he came
'We'll go to Prince Hyuk Jae's kingdom...' Blue Heart started panicking
'I know that he hates me but...I can't leave Heechul-ssi stuck in that mirror forever--we're both facing severe depression here' Reika explained & Blue Heart calmed down
Reika kept the flute & the hairbrush in the satchel and rode on Blue Heart...
'I can't believe I'm gonna see him again...' Heechul became excited
'Hehe! Calm down, Heechul-ssi...I'll call you when we arrive, alright?' Heechul immediately nodded & disappeared
'Come on, Blue Heart...' Reika kept the mirror back to the satchel & the horse started to gallop
