KYUNGSOO: we are doing fine, King.

SIWON: make her wear dress  black and make her beautiful.

KYUNGSOO: ne, King *turns off phone*

XIU MIN: The King really wants the wealth of his father badly.

TAO: what will happen if the Princess transfers it to the King?

KRIS: terminate the Princess.

XIU MIN: what!?

KRIS: The Princess will be useless or he can give the Princess to the Queen.

XIU MIN: where is the late King?

KRIS: he is still ill and hidden.

BAEKHYUN: where is he now?

KRIS: maybe he is on the Queen’s empire, since the King was only an adopted son.

BAEKHYUN: ah… that’s why. So, the Princess holds all wealth.

KRIS: yup and the next King will be lucky. The King gave me the contracts of the Princess’ mansions, villas, and farms.

                Xiu Min’s phone rings.

XIU MIN: yoboseyo

SEHUN: where are you?

XIU MIN: we are in the apartment

SEHUN: where?

 XIU MIN: just find an apartment colour green.  *turns off phone*

TAO: what did he said?

XIU MIN: you know that he likes Seojae

KRIS: what if the Princess fall for him?

KYUNGSOO: I’m not letting him on Seojae.

KRIS: well, we didn’t see Seojae’s charms yet.

XIU MIN: I heard earlier the Manager of K.R.Y. will use Seojae at the MV.

TAO: let’s take Seojae on a salon.

KYUNGSOO: good…

KRIS: tomorrow, Saturday.

                Someone knock on the door.

XIU MIN: It’s Sehun *opens door* do you want to see Seojae?

SEHUN: ne…

XIU MIN: she is on the rooftop. Locks herself there.

                Meanwhile, Seojae was sketching and her phones suddenly rings.

SEOJAE: Yoboseyo?

SULLI: I am going to publish your comic. I didn’t edit it. It seems like a reality story. That’s all *turns off phone*

                Someone knocks at the door. Seojae continue sketching.

SEHUN: It seems like she is not here.

TAO: she is here. She just don’t like talking to you.

SEHUN: Seojae-ah, I will wait here no matter what happen.

KRIS: suit yourself there

                The boys left Sehun. After a few minutes, Sehun is still there, waiting there. It is really cold outside.

SEHUN: aish… it’s really cold.

                After one hour, Sehun is still sitting.

KYUNGSOO: do you think he will sleep here?

TAO: no, he will not survive on this cold weather.

                The boys were peeking at Sehun. The next day, Seojae goes outside and notice Sehun lying on the bench.

SEOJAE: he really waited

                Seojae checks Sehun if he is still alive.

SEOJAE: do you have insurance?

SEHUN: I stayed here.

XIU MIN: all night?

SEHUN: ne

TAO: hmm… pretty strong. Wanna come with us?

SEHUN: where?

TAO: We are going to bring Seojae to the salon to have a new look.

SEHUN: chincha!?

BAEKHYUN: anio! you shouldn’t invite him!

KRIS: oops, seems like there is someone disagreed.

                They go near to the door.

TAO: Seojae-ah, please come with us and we will eat outside.

                Seojae opens the door.

SEOJAE: I’m coming.

SEHUN: ha!? You are going with them. But, how about me?

SEOJAE: you go home and get yourself warm or stay here if you want.

                Seojae join the boys. They go to the salon.

TAO: just make her transform.

MAKE-UP ARTIST: ne *bows*

BAEKHYUN: let’s eat first.

                They left Seojae with the Make-up artist and look for a restaurant.

BAEKHYUN: do you think the Princess is really pretty?

XU MIN: she is

BAEKHYUN: how can you be so sure?

XIU MIN: Sehun, he never went home last night. He wants to see Seojae badly.

KYUNGSOO: I will never let Sehun be on my way…

XIU MIN: are you serious with Seojae?

KYUNGSOO: ne.

XIU MIN: really?

KYUNGSOO: ne

TAO: let’s find out what is her  true face later. For now, let’s have a day off.

KYUNGSOO: Seojae

SEOJAE: where are you?

KYUNGSOO: we will be going there. *turns off phone* she is done

                The boys hurried.

KYUNGSOO: Seojae….

                Seojae stands up and turns. The boys were mesmerize on Sejoae’s new look.

SEOJAE: so, how do I look?

BOYS: great *smiles*

SEOJAE: where are we going next?

BOYS: mall.

SEOJAE: stop staring at me and let’s go shopping.

                Seojae goes outside first.

KRIS: you are really pretty

SEOJAE: I know.

BAEKHYUN: let’s go together *aegyo*

                Baekhyun holds Seojae’s hand and drag her on the clothes stall.

BAEKHYUN: you should wear something beautiful.

KRIS: I will choose for her. Black is perfect, if white dye your hair into brown color then a little red on the end.

SEOJAE: I’ll choose black.

KRIS: you fit it and if it is okay, we will buy it. These dresses too, fit them all.

SEOJAE: your treat?

KRIS: yes, we will treat you.

                Seojae choose clothes then fit them all one by one. Seojae goes outside every time he tries the dresses.

TAO: every dress is perfect on her.

                They try shoes too and accessories.

XIU MIN: let’s eat lunch. I’m hungry again *pouts*

                They went to a diner and order food.

TAO: if you want to hide yourself again just untie your hair , your bangs can help hiding your face.

SEOJAE: ne

                After a few minutes, the food was served. They feed Seojae. Afternoon, they return home.

YESUNG & DONGHAE: Seojae-ah?!

                Their jaws drop and were mesmerize on Seojae’s transformation. They reach the rooftop and Sehun was there.

SEOJAE: why are you still here?

SEHUN: *turns* it’s because I’m waiting for…. Neomu yeppo!

                Sehun goes near to Seojae and holds her hands.

SEHUN: I am right, you are really pretty!

KYUNGSOO: back off, Sehun. You are not allowed to touch her.

XIU MIN: we are aiming for her heart too, not only you.

SEHUN: mwo!? 6 over 1?

TAO: you should start planning of something to make her yours.

KRIS: leave now.

                Sehun left the boys.

SEHUN: those boys fall in love on Seojae for the first time. How can I win over them?

YESUNG: isn’t that the guy who came here yesterday?

DONGHAE: he is. Did he slept with Seojae!?

                The two boys stops Sehun.

YESUNG: excuse me, did you slept with Seojae?

SEHUN: anio, I slept outside and I was freezing back there until now.

                Sehun continues to walk.

DONGHAE: suitor?

YESUNG: well, Seojae got a new look today and the boys bought a lot of things for Seojae.

DONGHAE: Suitors… she is really pretty. I can court her *smiles*

YESUNG: ya! I like her too from the first time I met her.

DONGHAE: well, I found her interesting because she is hard-to-get.

                Meanwhile

TAO: she can be called Princess Rose, with her pretty face danger awaits to Sehun. Sehun didn’t know anything about Seojae.

XIU MIN: wae?

TAO: remember, the King can dispatch her suitors like Sehun. Remember her suitors before, The king made those guys fall, they lost their business or anything that it is important to them and warned them to stop courting Seojae. The King only trusted us to Seojae.

KYUNGSOO: even she is not the Princess, I still going to court her. Look at her, she is really pretty.

TAO: we will never tell the King about Sehun. It will be more dangerous.

KRIS:  but, Seojae is our commander and not the King.

TAO: but, Seojae is too young. Too young to order us to kill people

BAEKHYUN: when will we are going to say the truth?

TAO: I don’t know

KYUNGSOO: if she get angry, a whisper can be heard from her and can kill who she wants.

BAEKHYUN: who will kill?

ALL: us

BAEKHYUN: us!? But… how can we..

TAO: don’t be a deaf. I don’t know but we can just hear it.

                Sehun is walking in the streets.

SEHUN: who will Seojae choose? We are too many.

                Someone is calling on his phone.

SEHUN: yoboseyo…. Mwo!? Where!?

                Sehun runs to the hospital. His mother was sent to the hospital.

SEHUN: excuse me, where is the Patient name BoA?

NURSE: turn left, sir.

                Sehun runs and saw a doctor.

DOCTOR: are you her son?

SEHUN: yes, sir.

DOCTOR: she needs another surgery, the tumour is still there and we have to remove it.

SEHUN: how much it will cost?

DOCTOR: well, it is expensive. I have to go.

                Leeteuk came.

LEETEUK: is your mother okay?

SEHUN: anio, she needs another surgery. The tumour came back.

LEETEUK: having another surgery is expensive.

SEHUN: I’ll start working non-stop later, appa

                Sehun left and works. Meanwhile, Mil Ku was on the dining room while her parents are arguing in the living room.

TIFFANY: what’s wrong with you!? you lost my money again in the casino!

 EUNHYUK: I know I lost but I will pay you

TIFFANY: anio, you said that a hundred of times! You should leave this house!

EUNHYUK: anio! this house is for us. Do you remember when I hit the jackpot in the casino. I bought you an expensive car!

TIFFANY: where is the car now?!  You sell it to pay your debts!

                They are arguing around the house. Mil Ku can’t take it anymore so she goes to her room and continue her studies. Mil Ku had a secret work at internet. She accepts paper works, designing websites or writing reports on the business and she will get a big money from them.

MIL KU: there is no place like home. *whistles*

                Mil Ku looks at their family picture.

MIL KU: maybe I should leave for a while. I can survive on my now.

                Her parents are busy on business even sometimes when Tiffany is taking Mil Ku to the school, Tiffany is calling the office.

MIL KU: apartment…

                She started to pack her bags. Sunday, she looks for an affordable rental fee.

AJUMMA: there is an apartment with a really cheap rent. It’s colour is green. Just walk straight there

MIL KU: kamsamnida *bows*

                Mil Ku walk straight and saw a green apartment.

SHINDONG: are you interested?

MIL KU: *turns* NE

SHINDONG: come inside and I will show you the rooms.

                They go inside.

SHINDONG: there are many occupants in the third floor and one in the rooftop. 2nd and 1st floor are vacant.

MIL KU: I’ll take the first floor last room.

SHINDONG: you like to isolate from people?

MIL KU: ne

SHINDONG: hmmm… let’s go to my office and I will give you the keys and sign the papers.

                They go to Shindong’s rooftop.

MIL KU: why do you choose to live here, not on your own apartment?

SHINDONG: that other apartment is for the customers not for the owner.

MIL KU: is there only one girl in the apartment?

SHINDONG: ne, she is a really quiet person and rarely seen outside during no classes. Sometimes some boys are taking her to go shopping or eat outside. She is alone too like you.

                Mil Ku sign the paper and pay.

SHINDONG: you’re too advance, young girl.

MIL KU: it’s better to pay advance so it will not bother me monthly.

SHINDONG: araseo, thank you

                Mil Ku calls for a moving service. Her parents are busy in business so they will not notice her.

MIL KU: aish… good to be alone.

                She heard a ball hitting the walls.

MIL KU: who is that!?

                She opens the door  and saw a guy playing soccer.

MIL KU: stop it.

                The guys stop.

DONGHAE: mianhae *bows*

                Donghae goes outside and plays.

DONGHAE: new occupant, seems scary.

                Yesung goes out from a car.

DONGHAE: Yeusngie!!

YESUNG: Donghae *waves*

                Yesung went near to Donghae.

YESUNG: why are you playing outside? You always play inside.

DONGHAE: there is a new girl occupant on the first floor last room.

YESUNG: what does she look like?

DONGHAE: uhmm… pretty face but she is scarier than Seojae.

YESUNG: ah…

                Yesung goes inside the apartment and rest. After a few hours, Donghae is tired, he went upstairs, to Seojae. He knocks at the door. Seojae opens to check someone, Donghae grab her and take her outside.

SEOJAE: where are you going to take me?

DONGHAE: outside, let’s eat something!

                Seojae can’t return since Donghae is grabbing her hand tight. They went to a restaurant.

DONGHAE: I’ll treat you

                The waiter came.

SEHUN: Seojae-ah!?

                Seojae ignores the waiter.

DONGHAE: you are the guy who waited at the rooftop…

SEHUN: why are you here?

SEOJAE: this guy will treat me.

SEHUN: are you dating?

DONGHAE: ne… just bring us two bowls of bulgogi.

                Sehun left.

DONGHAE: does that guy really had a huge crush on you?

SEOJAE: ne since first year.

DONGHAE: you know, there is another occupant on the apartment and she is scarier than you.

                Seojae is using her phone.

DONGHAE: hey, you should at least talk to me.

SEOJAE: we are here to eat not to talk.

DONGHAE: even you are pushing me away I will not give up on you Seojae. You are always in your room and never goes out, why?
