"Who is Prince Philip?" An innocent question from Yoona to Jungkook. They're sitting in a round table where they wait for their teacher to return. She is too curious about her character because it seems like it doesn't fit for her.

Jungkook is almost in disbelief is he didn't remind himself that Yoona came from the province. "Prince Philip is the person Princess Aurora will fall for. Prince Philp in vice versa will for her." He explained. He casually closes his legs and arms and sigh, waiting patiently for their teacher while his eyes would sometimes land to his best friend, he had a secret crush.

"I see... " Nodding her head, Yoona glances to Seohyun and smile a little. 'This means, I will be Seohyun's partner. Should that be Jungkook?' She thought, reminding herself about the mission of 'soulmate'. She tilts her head to Jungkook and felt sorry for him. "What about your character? Why are our classmates made fun of it earlier?" She unconsciously asks so loud. Jungkook looked at her in disbelief. "I was just curious." She grinned.

Seohyun and Sooyoung both couldn't help and giggle upon hearing the question and Jungkook's reaction was priceless.

"Yoona-ssi. Maleficent is Aurora's Godmother. She'll or He'll be her guardian besides her parents." Sooyoung decided to explain Jungkook's character in behalf of him.

"I see. No wonder... our... classmates... " Yoona finally understand the reaction from the entire class and it makes her discontinue her sentence, smiling awkwardly to Jungkook who never said a thing.

"I'm Queen Leah, Aurora's mother." Sooyoung continued to share. She flashes a friendly yet sweet smile to Seohyun sitting next to her.

"Do you even know the story?" Jungkook couldn't hold back her annoyance and he question the doe-eyed. "I mean, you don't watch tv at home? Or did your pre-school teacher share the story?"

"Yah! Jungkook-ah! Stop that!" Scolded Seohyun in an instant. She had sense it since Yoona broke her silence. He's annoyed to be not the Prince.

"I was just curious, Hyun." Came Jungkook's defend. "It's just rare to meet someone who doesn't know Sleeping Beauty when it's the most popular book among kids."

"I'm sorry, Jungkook-ssi. But I really have no idea." Yoona apologizes and pouted. She blames her innocence over stuffs on earth. She thought she knew everything already but there are things that aren't too.

"You don't have to apologize, Yoona-ssi." Sooyoung gives a shake to the doe-eyed. "Jungkook wasn't just in the mood." And she teasingly smiled to the young boy.

"I have to be the one apologizing instead." A sigh left Seohyun's lips. Jungkook rolled his eyes on her which she doesn't like and send him glares.

Their Teacher finally arrived with folders on her hands, passing it to them one by one. "This willl be the script for the play. Make sure you guys memorize the lines especially our Aurora, Miss Seo."

"When will be the rehearsal starts?" Seohyun is excited and she wanted to know right away.

"In Two days. We'll give you two days for preparation so once we start, it will be easy to for us. This will run in three weeks so in the last week before the school play, you guys will have rest. Am I clear?" Teacher Kang explained firmly.

"Yes." Everyone said in unison as they bob their heads up and down.

"Dismiss." And with that said from their teacher, they got up and casually leaves the office, holding their scripts.

"This is exciting. It's my first time to be chosen." Sooyoung honestly confessed while smiling from ear to ear. She looked at Yoona walking beside her and asks, "You're too, right?"

Yoona brightly smiled. "Yes."

"This is my second time." Came Seohyun's exciting voice from behind the two taller girls. "I was once casted in a play but it's not for main character. So, it's my second time for a play and first time for the main character." she cheerfully smiled to them.

"What about you, Jungkook-ssi?" Sooyoung's attention averted to the only boy in the group.

"First time." A timid response came out from Jungkook. He sighs and decided to walk ahead from them.

"He's not excited." Mumble's Yoona. If only it was him as Prince Philip, he wouldn't be like that and it she felt helpless because she couldn't do anything about it.

"He'll be fine." Seohyun is confident however that her best friend will accept his character eventually. "He's not someone that will sulk too long." She shared, knowing him well. "Anyway, let's go have lunch together." She announced as she wants to get to know Sooyoung too.

"Let's go!" Yoona chirped excitedly, putting her right hand in the air.

"The last to get to the cafeteria will have to treat everyone." Sooyoung without warning have announced and she automatically runs, leaving them behind. Seohyun and Yoona took a couple of seconds before they run after her.

"Basically, this is my second school this year. This is because my parents have to transfer another place as their work requires them to." Sooyoung began to share her story while they're enjoying their lunch break together in one of the tables in the cafeteria. It was Seohyun who ask her where did she come from. "My previous school was farther from here. It will take me four hours by car and six hours by train."

"Whoa, so you're not originally from here? Just like me." Yoona could relate with the taller girl. It makes her feel comfortable already.

"I honestly don’t know what's my original place." Sooyoung chuckled.

"Me too." The doe-eyed girl instantly replied.

Seohyun giggles. "You guys can really relate on each other." She's happy to meet two new friends unlike from the previous semester, she only has Jungkook as the closest.

"Does your previous school have beaches too?" ask Yoona as she keeps it interesting.

"Yep. We have a lot of beaches and rivers."

"That sounds like in Jeju." Seohyun commented as she imagines it.

"Oh, it's not the same as ours. We only have beaches and a lot of kids like to play there to make sand castles and play with pebbles." Yoona misses the church already and the town that she really love. "We have a beautiful church there too." She proudly says.

Seohyun raises her eyebrows when the description from the deer reminds her of her childhood town. They have a lot of kids there too. 'I hope she's still there.' And made her miss of her firefly.

"Are you talking about Gwanju? They're famous in their beaches that a lot of restaurants and resorts and doing business there." Sooyoung didn't think twice and she shares what she knows.

"Gwanju?" Seohyun raises her eyebrows as she thinks it over. Yoona previously shared she's from the province but never describe it well. It's the first time she shared about it. She has no idea what's the name of her hometown that she couldn't tell it's the same.

"You've been there, Seohyun?" Sooyoung curiously asks while the doe-eyed just looked at her.

"I don't know but I guess I have? I should ask Omma about the name of our hometown. It's just felt like the same the way you describe it, Yoongie." a cute yet innocent smile plastered in Seohyun's face as her eyes averted to the deer.

"Wow, so if your home town is the same as her, that means you guys know each other since then?" Sooyoung is curious.

"Nope. We just know each other weeks ago." Replied Seohyun to confirm. "She's on the same apartment building as mine however."

"Chincha? No wonder I can see how comfortable you guys now." Sooyoung said and teasingly smile.

"We went to the same place for winter break. That's one of the reasons we are that close. But Jungkook is her best friend since elementary." Yoona softly shares as she smiles to Seohyun as well.

"That boy earlier right? Why I don't feel good about him?" Sooyoung said with all honesty.

"No. He's actually a good person. It's just that... Well who wouldn't love to be Maleficent?" Seohyun could only understand why her best friend was like that towards them.

"Seohyun is right. He's a good person, Sooyoung-ah." Yoona flashes an assuring smile. "It was just unfortunate... Events." But it makes her blush as she reminds herself her character is the one that will fall for the young brunette.

Seohyun giggle. "I think it was meant to be. It's the first time someone like him will play it. The audience will definitely love it." She can clearly imagine it already at the back of her head and it makes her more than excited. The play will be a hit among students.

"But he will be embarrassed if continue." Sooyoung said she could feel he will not continue the play.

"Unless he will forget about the audience and just focus on what his character." Stated Seohyun as she can see the other side.

"You should pursue him, then Joohyun. I'm pretty sure he will listen to you." Yoona reminded she has the power to do that.

"Indeed. I'll do my best to push him then." Seohyun agreed eventually as she brightly smiled.

Both Sooyoung and Yoona smiled back to her as they continue their lunch meal. They talk more about other things until the bell rang, indicating the break is over.

Just like she promised, Seohyun waited for a while before their classmates left the classroom, including Yoona who give her a signal that she's coming out first, before she approached her best friend, who was busy scribbling on her notes. "Where are you going after this, Kook?" She surprised him with the sudden question.

"G-Go... home. Of course." Jungkook looked up to her with a brief smile. He closes his note book and put them into his backpack.

"You're not going to the library or to the pool?" To keep their conversation, Seohyun asks something she knows he won't do.

"Nope. Why would I? We haven't started practicing and you know that." Jungkook get on his feet and knock his best friend's head to put his mind back.

"Well, who knows right?" Seohyun catches up with her best friend right away when he went out the room.

Jungkook felt weird with her and stopped to look at her suspiciously. "What are you doing, Seo Joohyun?"

"I... I just want to go home with you." said Seohyun as she raises her eyebrows. "Why? Is there something wrong?"

"We don't go on the same direction." Jungkook reasoned resuming on his tracks again as they head out of the building, walking side by side in the hallway.

"Seriously? We go the same bus stop." Reminded the Seohyun once again. It's as if it's a new thing to go home together. "Don't you want to drop me home also?" She wiggles her eyebrows earning a chuckle from her.

"Well." Jungkook just shrug her shoulders and without any warning, she runs towards the gate.

"Yah! Unfair!" Seohyun shouted and she chases right away, passing all the students on their way.

Yoona who was walking in the side recognized who just passed by and a smile brought to her face, watching them looking so happy together. But the more she watches them, the more she suddenly felt something weird. Her smiling face turned into pouting. She suddenly wa
