Good News Or Bad News?
The Prince Behind The Mask
Reika was requested by HanChul to tell everything that happened in her life, and they were desperate to help...
'Are you sure?' Reika asked again
'Yes, princess...' Hangeng answered
'Let us help!!! Please, Reika~' Heechul begged
'Fine...' the princess gave up & agreed
'Hangeng?' Kang In arrived
'Deh, Hyung?'
'We need to go back to Princess Taeyeon's kingdom...' when Kang In said her name, Reika became scared
'Uhmm...you go first, Hyung. I...we have to go somewhere very important' Hangeng said
'Alright, and I will tell you something important after that. Bye' Kang In left the room with a blink of an eye
'What do you mean that "we have to go somewhere very important"?' a confused Reika asked
'We 3 are going to the Clouds Kingdom--'
'Wait, what?!'
'Clouds Kingdom is the name for Prince Yesung's kingdom' Hangeng explained
'Oh~ Okay!' he smiled
'But why??? Oppa might be mad at me for stealing umma's wand and for trapping him inside the castle...' she sighed
'Believe the flower who is me, Reika...I am 100% sure that he won't be mad at you' Heechul encouraged her
'Fine, fine...let's go'
-------------------------------------
'Yesung...Yesung...Yesung!!! Wake up!' Ryeowook kept trying to wake him up but then he accidentally pushed him out of bed
'Yah Kim Ryeowook! What was that for?!'
'Sorry, Hyung! It was an accident!' Ryeowook ran away while Yesung was chasing him--the older prince was very cranky during mornings (especially when he wakes up on the floor and not on his bed)
By the hallway, Ryeowook passed by a man then tripped on the carpet. Yesung was running to him but luckily he was stopped by the man...
'Calm down, Prince Yesung...' he looked at the owner of the voice & was shocked
'ONEW!' Yesung screamed in excitement
'I-is Reika here?'
'No...we can't find her, I hope she's alright' both of them sighed--Onew was sure that he wouldn't find Reika in the Clouds Kingdom
'Prince Yesung!' a voice called
'Hangeng? Heechul?' the 2 arrived
'Oppa?' a girl's voice was heard, it was music to Yesung's ears
'Reika!' she ran to her brother & hugged him tight
'Reika...don't leave me again! You scared me to death! Please...don't give up your position for the kingdom' he said
'M-Mianhe, Oppa...I-I sorry, I stole umma's wand. Please forgive me--I'll keep my position' Reika apologized sincerely
'Oppa forgives you...' Yesung kissed her forehead & released her
Onew tapped Yesung's shoulder & gave him Reika's crown...
'Promise me...you will never give up your position' Yesung put the crown back where it belongs
'D-deh, Oppa...I promise with my heart & blood' she said & hugged him once again
'Thanks for returning him, Hannie...' Heechul whispered
'Thank you for making me the knight in shining amor once again, Cinderella Chullie...' Hangeng whispered back & pinched the other's cheek
'Reika...someone wants to see you...' Yesung let Reika get a sight of Onew who had a warm smile across his lips
'Princess...' Onew hugged her as he kissed her hand
'I've missed you so much...' even though Reika missed him also, she knew that he was engaged and this counts as cheating
She pushed Onew away & avoided his confuse gaze, she didn't want another fight between him & Onew's mom to start because of her. She wouldn't forgive herself if that happen again...
'Reika...don't be scared, no one will hurt you' Onew tried to calm her down, her eyes were filled with fear
'A-Aniyo, you & y-your umma might fight again...family comes first, right?' Reika said with a sad tone
'But Reika...that was in the past, don't you mind it'
'Everything in the past will be stuck in your head forever...nothing will be removed' Reika stated
'Please Reika, I just want to be with you again...'
'Just stop...go back to the Element Kingdom & I'll wait for your wedding' Reika went to her room & tears were visible
'Reika, wait!' Onew sighed
'Why do I always screw up? I always make Reika upset every time I see her!' Onew thought & became angry with himself
'Prince Yesung!' the royal minister arrived
'What is it?'
'2 letters have arrived for you & the princess...' he showed the two envelopes
'From whom?' Yesung asked
'It's from the Lee Kingdom' he answered & gave 1 letter to the prince while the other was slid under the door
'Oh, alright...you may leave' the royal minister bowed & left
'What does it say?' Heechul asked with curiosity as Yesung opened a letter
Dear Prince Kim Jong Woon,
Prince Lee Hyuk Jae & Queen Kim
Hyoyeon shall be married 100 days
from now, we are sending this to
begin the countdown. By 12 midnight
the countdown shall begin! This
letter also states that you're invited
to their wedding~ See you, Prince
Kim Jong Woon at the wedding!
-Royal Minister of King Lee
'Oh no! Reika!' Heechul ran to Reika's room door and started to call for her but all he heard was sobs & sniffs
'Reika...Reika, please open the door--it's Heechul!' he was getting impatient once again
'W-what are you doing here?!' it was Reika's scream from inside
'Have you heard the news?'another voice said
'Wait a minute, that Hyoyeon's voice!' Heechul called for Hangeng then Hangeng immediately kicked the door open
'Reika!' they saw her being held by Hyoyeon while G-Dragon was waiting
'H-help!' she screamed in fear
'I found your fiancée, Jessica...as usual, he's here' Hyoyeon said & Jessica hugged Onew
'I can't find you in the castle so I decided to look for you here!' Jessica whined but Onew just stood & stared at Reika
'I wonder why my father-in-law would invite these people to my wedding...' Hyoyeon said as if she was already married to Hyuk Jae
'I-I don't have anything a-against you, Hyoyeon...just don't hurt anyone' Reika said hiding her sad feelings inside
'Look mistresses, Hangeng is with them...' G-Dragon noticed his presence with Heechul
'Oh really? What happened to the dark knight that seeks revenge, Hangeng?' Hyoyeon asked but Hangeng was silent
'Don't tell me you forgave the man that we trapped in the mirror like you requested...' Jessica added which made Heechul look at Hangeng
'What is the meaning of this, Hangeng? What the hell are they saying?' Heechul demanded
'Oh...I think he already forgave him, Hyoyeon'
'Let me explain this, Kim Heechul~' Hyoyeon said & threw Reika by the wall
'After Hangeng left Heechul, he went to the forbidden wall with the help of Onew...' she started
'Stop!' Onew screamed but it didn't work
'Then, Hangeng went to Taeyeon & she called all of us for an emergency meeting...'
'He asked us if we can trap a person named Kim Heechul in a mirror and we said yes' Heechul gasped
'He gave up his sword that he used always, a sapphire blue gem from a princess & a rare grey feather from...a white angel'
'A sword that he always used?' Heechul repeated
'Yes, Heechul...the one that you gave him' Hyoyeon smirked
'The feather was from Leeteuk's wings & the sapphire blue gem was from Reika's crown' Jessica added & Reika observed her crown
'It's an illusion!' Reika thought
'Then we all agreed & used Tiffany's power to trap Heechul inside the mirror...' Hyoyeon finished
'You...you made them trap me inside that mirror?!'
'H-Hyung...?' a voice said & everyone saw Taemin
'Taemin?'
'T-that feather from Leeteuk-ssi...y-you made me steal it in his sleep so you can g-give it to the witches?'
'Oh really? You made your "innocent" friend steal? Very good, Onew...'
'Leeteuk-ssi already lost 2 grey feathers! I hurt him severely for you!' Taemin screamed
'But Taemin...' Onew tried to hold him but his hand was slapped away by the younger one
'Don't touch me, Hyung--if you are my brother...'Taemin glared
'You're scaring him, Onew...' Jessica said with an angry tone and used her powers to make Onew release his wings
Then Hyoyeon spotted a black feather hidden between the white ones...
'Look, Jessica! I got a black feather~' Hyoyeon said as she picked the black feather from Onew's right wing
'No!' Onew screamed as his wings were turning grey
'My feather! My powers!' as his wings were turning grey, his element powers were starting to fade
'This feather is gonna go great with a poison...' Hyoyeon said as she put the black feather in a bottle
Onew felt powerless and he saw his wings was pure grey, nothing white was left...
'Now does everyone understand?' silence was there, no one spoke a word
'I'll take that as a yes...let's go, Jessica!' Hyoyeon called & left with her
'Taemin, let's go back...' Onew was shocked when he saw Taemin shook his head
'W-what do you mean?'
'I won't be going back to the Element Kingdom with you anymore...'
'But Taemin--'
'Stop treating me like a child. I want to grow up, I won't follow your orders nor grant your requests...do what you want alone, just make sure you won't hurt anyone especially Princess Reika' Taemin said with an angry tone & his eyes were clouded with betrayal
'Taemin, stop playing around--'
'You stop, Onew...he's not playing around' Leeteuk said as stood beside Taemin
'Leeteuk-Hyung?'
'You should leave now, Onew...you can still fly without your powers' he suggested
'D-deh...' Onew walked to the balcony & flew away
'What are you still doing here, Hangeng?' Heechul asked him with a glare
'But--'
'I don't want to see your face anywhere near me because the next time I see it I swear with my soul that I'll destroy it like what almost happened to mine...' Heechul threatened him with a glare
'Heechul--'
'Leave.Now.' Hangeng sighed & left
'I can't believe this...' Yesung said as Taemin went to Reika
'Here, princess...Key-umma made this before but he told me to give it to you for emergency. And I think this is considered as one...' Taemin showed a crystal
'It's a magic crystal...Key-umma said that it will protect you' Taemin removed the crown from Reika's head
Taemin then put the crystal in the middle where the sapphire blue gem should be placed...
'Perfect fit...' he whispered then returned the crown back on her head
'It's very pretty, princess...' Taemin gave a warm smile
'Key-umma is always there to help...'
Reika then saw Heechul leaned on the wall with a dark expression on his face...
'He gave up the sword that I worked hard to make just to trap me in the mirror...pathetic' Heechul sighed trying to find peace in his mind
'YES!' Kyuhyun suddenly ran to them
'I finally did it!' Kyuhyun showed a small bottle
'What is it?' Yesung asked
'It's the potion that can kill the witches!' Kyuhyun smiled
'No one can kill the witches! Unless Reika is the cause of death of Onew!'
'Exactly! This potion can kill Onew...'
'If you're gonna do it, then the witches won't die...'
'Reika, you're in charge of keeping this...the potion will not work anymore after 100 days. Use it when you want to, but Reika--Sungmin said if the wedding on the 100th day goes on, everything will change...nothing will be the same again' Kyu explained as he gave Reika the small bottle
'Remember, Reika...100 days and that's it' she nodded & stared at the bottle
'100 days before the wedding...100 days before he's gone...and 100 days before my life completely changes...' Reika whispered
That night, the castles of the Clouds Kingdom & the Element Kingdom were dead silent...
~Element Kingdom~
Onew was standing in front of his mirror with his wings released, he was observing himself--he thought he was different...
'I made my friend steal from a king and I stole a piece of a crown from a princess...if the court knew this, Taemin might be sentenced to death again and I have no right to stop it' Onew sighed and looked at the mirror once again
'Mianhe...Taemin & Reika...'
\While Hangeng/
Hangeng was leaning by the railing of the balcony, inhaling fresh air as he observed the village of the Element Kingdom...
'Kai! Wait for me!' a child said
'Hurry up, Kyungsoo! Hyung will be worried!' another child said
But then the child named "Kyungsoo" tripped and sprained his ankle then "Kai" ran to him...
'Yah! Are you alright?' Kai asked
'Deh, I just tripped...' Kyungsoo tried to stand up but he fell again
'Aish!' he whined
'I'll carry you, my princess!' Kai said
'I'm not a princess!' he whined
'Whatever~' Kai playfully said
'Yay! My knight will carry me!' Kyungsoo rode on Kai's back and left together
Because of those kids, Hangeng smiled--Kyungsoo was like Heechul, feminine & easily gets excited and the "princess" and Kai was like himself, the knight for Heechul & would always take care of him...
'I saw Heechul secretly walking to the silver smith, I decided to ignore it...then few weeks later, it was my brithday also the day before I became a knight--he gave me a sword that he made.'
'But I gave it away to trap him for 2 years...' Hangeng sighed
'Heechul...please forgive me, I was a fool'
~Clouds Kingdom~
Heechul, Reika & Taemin were scattered inside the castle, trying to recover...
Reika was in her room, Taemin was inside the throne room while Heechul was at the balcony...
'Hyung made me steal...if someone tells this to the court, I'll get sentenced to death again' Taemin thought
'The only thing I worked so hard for...was only used to trap me for 2 years' Heechul said in his mind
'Did Onew-ssi just took care of me so he can hide what he did? Was he faking it the whole time?' Reika's head were filled with questions that couldn't be answered
She stared at the bottle that was beside her pillow, the only thing that can bring things back to normal.
If you want everything to be normal again like before, it will cost a life...
She has 100 days to choose wether to kill Onew to be happy again or to let him live and let the wedding of Hyuk Jae & Hyoyeon change her life forever...
Would you kill someone you cared about for your happiness?
Or would you rather let that person live & let another change your life?
If you had to choose, what would it be?
