"You're against this wedding,
yet you stopped them from leaving.
What is it you're hiding up your sleeves, Jungmin?"
My annoying detective wannabe cousin rubs his chin.

"Who says I'm against their wedding?
Or even bother wherever those peasants are heading?
I'm just making sure no rules and ethics are broken."
There, the great, wise, Jungmin has spoken.

"Since when do you care for ethics or rule?
I hope you're not taking me as a fool,
'Rules are meant to be broken' That's your catchphrase,
Even when it cause your allowance to not get a raise."

I'm getting tired entertaining this Kyujong the geek,
No wonder nobody wants to be in his clique,
So I simply mutter "People change",
While walking as fast as possible to get him out of range.

"Wait Jungmin, I am not done yet!" He calls.
I'm not stopping and he better stop following me into the halls.
In this whole palace, is there no such a place like nirvana?
Ah, then it comes to my mind...Jisun noona!

I run into my room, knowing that nosy fellow still following behind,
In which he can't enter, even if he can find.
"Jungmin! Wangseja! Don't think you can get away like this,
Tonight at the ball, you'll tell me, don't try to dismiss."

I roll my eyes, telling him to get lost.
No way I'm telling him anything at any cost.
I climb the window and make my exit,
My resourcefulness is of great merit.

"Jisun noona, quickly open the door!"
As the door opens, I rush in and trip down the floor.
"Oh, Wangseja, are you alright?"
Her tone has concern, but her smile is a little too bright.

"Anyway...what have you been you doing before I came?"
I sit on the floor crossing my legs, pretending to feel no shame.
"Oh, Wangseja, you shouldn't sit there, are you hurt from the fall?"
Aish, if it's not because she's a woman, I'd have engage her in a brawl.

"When a Wangseja asks, shouldn't you just answer the question?"
I'm sure my annoyance is all written in my expression.
"Oh, I'm practicing for the ball tonight.
You too should prepare so that you'll be a magnificent sight."

I start shaking my head in irritation,
For, I'm already the most magnificent sight in this nation.
"But what ball are you talking about?
If it's the one for chubby cheeks king, I can do without."

"Oh no, Jungmin Wangseja, you're definitely going."
Oh...just great, from behind a cupboard, there's Kyujong's head poking.
