*horse running*

 

*Uwahhh ! uwahhh! Uwaahh!*

 

Soldier 1: what will we do to this child captain? *as the man looks at the baby with a woman lying in the ground, showering in her own blood*

 

Captain: *sighed* we have to do what’s ordered to us. *as he took his sword* we have to kill this child *

 

The captain started to raise his sword and pointed it to the baby.

 

years later...

 

*year 1820*

 

 

*Blaaaggg*

 

Baekhyun: YAH!!! *as he lies down on the ground*

 

Man 1: I told you so. Give me the money!

 

 

Baekhyun: Shiruh! This is my prize.

 

Man 1: you didn’t play fair. And you know what will happen if you didn’t play fair.. *smirked*

 

Baekhyun : Yah! I play fair! You not. *hissing*

 

Man 1 : *signaling the two men to hold Baekhyun in both hands*

 

Baekhyun: Yah! What are you doing? YAH! Let me go!!

 

Man 1 : *as he started to raised his one hand signaling to punch him* and this what you deser---

 

Su ji: And do you think i’ll let you? *as she holds the man’s hand and threw it away*

 

Baekhyun: Ji-ah!! *enlightens his face*

 

The other man tries to punch Su Ji but Su Ji kicks her off. The other one holds Su Ji in back but she release on holding and kick him off too. The other one,  took his sword and started attacking Su ji, but in his attacks, Su Ji dodge on it, once Su Ji got a chance, she punch him hard causing him to lose in balance.

 

The fight continues as one by one, the number of Su Ji’s enemies doubled by two and three. Su Ji continues counter attacking; dodge here, dodge there, kick here and kick there. They continue exchanging fights, no one seems tired, yet continue fighting.

 

As the enemies turn 5 more, Su Ji smirked. She was about to attack the other man when the man points his sword to Baekhyun.

 

Man 1:  come closer! I will kill this midget! * as he points the sword.*

 

Su Ji stops and stood up.

 

The man who’s holding Baekhyun signals the remaining 4 to corner her.

 

Su Ji just looks at them while they were encircling to her. She just rolled her eyes same as she blew some air in her bangs.. Signed of irritation all over her.

 

Man 1: just one moved and I kill this midget! I’m not joking!

 

Su Ji: You know what pisses me more?

 

Man 1: What?

 

And Su Ji kicked one of the man causing him to off balance; as she kicked the other man, she jumped high to reached the man who holding Baekhyun and kicked him too hard caused him to fell in the ground..

 

as the man lies in the ground, she pointed the sword to him.

 

Su Ji: *pointing the sword to him* I told you! Don't ever mess with my brother Arraso?!

 

Man 1: Deh! Deh!

 

And all of them ran fast as they could.

 

Baekhyun: Su Ji-ah! Your so great! *beams to her, he leans to his sister almost hugging her*

 

Su Ji: YAH! i told you not to get into trouble right?

 

Baekhyun: *pouted like a kid* but I didn’t started it.

 

Su Ji: Arraso! Ka ja .. Abeoji is waiting to us.

 

Baekhyun: Deh! *he cross his arms around Su Ji's arms*

 

In return, Su Ji smiled.

Suzy sings outloud as she continues singing holding a pen in hand serves as her mic, and dancing in her own room.

 

Myungsoo claps his hands, he was leaning his side body to the door.

 

Suzy stops all of the sudden. She looks at his direction.

 

MyungSoo: if you done with your morning routine, can we go now? We’re late.* he said in his most firm and irritated voice*

 

Suzy: omo! *as she looks at her wristwatch*

 

And Suzy runs fast while Myungsoo shake his head and smiles.

Suzy: Myungsoo-ah .. Can you make it faster? We’re running out of time! *she said while riding in Myungsoo motorcycle*

 

Myungsoo: Reckless driving is too dangerous. You know *he teasingly said*

 

Suzy: YAH! Teacher Il Woo will go to punish us once we’re late. *panicked* I don’t want to make another report again about Joseon dynasty.

 

Myungsoo: Wae? That’s fun!

 

Suzy’s face turns paled as she remembered something.

 

Suzy: *shivers*  YAH! Be faster!!

 

Myunsgoo: hahaha! Okay! Brace yourself. *as he leveled the speed of his motorcycle*

At the school:

 

Suzy walks so slow and quietly to avoid any noise in entering to the back door. She avoids causing noise so that no one can see her.

 

On the meantime, their teacher Il Woo is busy calling their names for atendance.

 

On the other hand, Myungsoo laughs on her, he enters to the front door,

 

Il Woo: you’re late! *he said as he stop checking for attendance*

 

Myungsoo: mianhe! *looks down preventing his laughters*

 

Il Woo: so if your late does it means that *as he looks towards to the back door*

 

He saw Suzy walking slowly with her height measuring the level of chairs.

 

Il Woo: Bae Suzy!

 

Suzy: Deh! *stood up*

 

Il Woo: what are you doing?

 

Suzy: picking up my notebook?

 

Il Woo eyed her, not believing on what she said.

 

Il Woo: you two, go to my office later.

 

Myungsoo/ Suzy: Deh.

 

They both seated right next to each other.

 

Suzy: It’s your fault!

 

Myungsoo: *stick his tounge out*

Suji puts the sword in her back. Hiding the sword to his father sight.

 

Yoonjin: Suji, I already saw the sword. You two inside

Ji Soo: Jeoha, what will you do if we found him?

 

Prince So hyun: I need to convince him to go back in service. We need to gathered people who much be more loyal and faithful in the king and never joined forces to the queen. I know him, will be.

Prince So Hyun and the others bow their head.

 

Princess Ji-Eun: *smiles wickedly*  abeonim, now that we’re complete, are you going to grant my wish?

Prince Joo Hyuk: our beloved sister dared the king

 

Prince So hyun: What dared?

Baekhyun: are you sure you live nearby here? *annoyed*

 

Ji-Eun: YEH! *looks nervous*

 

Ji-Eun’s POV: how idiot you are Ji-Eun! How come you didn’t notice that there’s no houses nearby the palace?

 

Baekhhyun: YAH!!

 

Su Ji slaps her brother’s head

 

Baekhyun: Chincha? Are you really joking us? We are walking at this place for a half hour but still we are in the same place all over.

 

Ji-Eun: Mianhe. That’s because---

Ji-Eun: stop it. They helping me. Don’t be like that

 

Prince Joo hyuk: really? *as they look at suji and baekhyun from head to foot* they not look like doing good.

 

Suji disgusted.

 

Prince So Hyun: if that so.. *looks at Ji Soo*

 

Jisoo handed a bag of coins to Suji.

 

Baekhyun was about to get it when Suji stops him.

 

Suji: what do you think of us?

 

Prince So hyun: just accept and go!

 

Suji blew her hair.

 

Suji: A simple thank you will do. Tsk. We don’t need that. Kaja! *as she pulled Baekhyun*

 

Before leaving, Suji turns her head and looks at Ji-Eun

 

Suji: Aggasi! I think you should buy some manners for your siblings used that money. *bows her head*

 

And they walk away. Upon walking Baekhyun still mumbling about Suji’s stopping him for getting the money.
