IRENE'S P.O.V. “Are you hurt somewhere? Do you want me to accompany you to the Infirmary?” I was still shook from what happened earlier, because one; BoGum tried to slap me which I never imagined he could do.  And two; RoWoon came to save me which I never expected since we both hate each other’s faces, right?  Even though she still isn’t healed, she still protected me from BoGum.  She once again got her life in danger because of you, Irene. “Ms. President?” I woke up from my trance with a hand waving in front of my face.  It took me by surprise, making me jump a little. My eyes toured around the place we’re in and found out that we are in front of the school gate. Many students were still in the campus since it’s only a few minutes after dismissal time.  My eyes finally stopped at the person in front of me, who was looking at me with a weird look. “Quit staring, Kang"  “Why, does it make you shy?” She showed me a teasing smirk, because of that, a smack landed on her arm. “You wish!” I rolled my eyes.  “Are you alright, Ms. President? Did that bastard—” Another smack landed on her arm. “Don’t call him that. He’s still my boyfriend” I saw her expression change to a pained one. “Oh...” I don't why and how, but I can hear pain in her voice. Did I hit her hard? “Is there anything wrong?” She quickly turned her frown to a smile, and shook her head. “Aniyo, Ms. President; I just remembered something. Anyways, I have to go, my cousin informed me that our car had arrived. Bye, Ms. President, see you tomorrow!” She bid me goodbye and took off. Weird. °°° ROWOON'S P.O.V.  “Welcome to my penthouse” I opened the lights and a luxurious living room welcomed us. “As expected, orange and black. You really have a thing for that colour" Like she owns this penthouse, she went to the couch and put her feet up; STILL WEARING HER SHOES. “YA, DON’T PUT YOUR DIRTY SHOES ON MY COUCH! THAT’S BRAND NEW!” I shouted at the girl. I approached her and pulled her off my couch, dusting off any dirt in the place where she rested her shoes.  “Ouch! Can you not scream because it’s hurting my ears and two, you can nicely tell me to get off the couch; Not pulling me violently all of a sudden” My cousin complained while rubbing her head which hit the floor. “Stop complaining, it’s your fault anyways. Put your shoes on the shoe rack and you can sit on the couch, WITHOUT me reacting violently” I took out my phone and texted Eomma.   [MOM]
“Me and Krystal are staying at my penthouse, since there’s a lot of schoolwork to do even though it’s still the second day of school. That’s all. Sent 5:38 pm   I felt the other side of the couch get occupied but I ignored it because I know who it is, who else would it be except for my cousin? Keeping my eyes on my phone, I remembered what I'm supposed to do when I got home. I opened my browser and typed in the name I'm curious with ever since I woke up from the Infirmary.   Princess JooHyun
Historical Figure The seventh child of King Bae, the 10th king of the late Kingdom of Goguryeo or also called Goryeo.    “That’s it?!” That’s the only information the internet could give?! C'mon, I thought the internet can give you everything.  What a bummer! “What’s your problem, couz?” My cousin scooted a bit closer to me and tried to take a peek on my phone but I quickly turned it off. “It’s nothing. I'm going to my room and you stay in any guest room, just pick one" I took my bag and quickly went inside my room, locking the door afterwards. Throwing my bag somewhere in the room, I sat on my study table and opened my laptop, I once again opened my browser...   Princess JooHyun and Lady Servant SeulGi   And enter. Waiting for my browser to finish loading because our Wi-Fi is slow as hell! After a long hour of refreshing and waiting, the results showed up.   The History of Princess JooHyun and Lady Servant Kang   I clicked that article and a long text showed up, guess I'm reading. My eyes was focused on the article as I read each word, I hope some of them are processing in my mind because the words are too deep. “Lady Servant Kang was the first servant to violate one of the golden rule of the Gorguryeo Kingdom...” I read the text. What rule? I wish I listened well in History but I just couldn’t, it’s too boring. “The servants are not allowed to have any intimate relationship with any of the royal blood...” I guess that’s the rule. So the princess and the servant fell in love? So cliché. “King Bae found out about their intimate relationship and planned to get the two separated...” What an evil man.   “Send that disgusting servant to death! And hope she'll rot in the underworld!"   My body tensed up and all of my hair in my body stood up, am I hearing things? No...That’s was just Krystal...right? Leaving my study table, I went out of my room and saw Krystal watching T.V. “Did you shout?” I asked her. She put her eyes on me and gave me a weird look, “Um, no. Are you alright Won?”  I merely nodded before going back inside my room. ! I'm going nuts! I pushed my hair back before taking a deep breath. I better change to comfortable clothes. After changing and a lot face slapping in the bathroom, I was now in front of my laptop. “Lady Servant Kang was sentenced to death and Princess Joohyun married the Prince GyeongHui of Baekje...”    “You need to go, Seulgi. Father sentenced you to death, you need to go before the guards catch you” The young woman’s voice was heard by me once again. “I'm not leaving you here, Joohyun! Let them be, I won’t let you get married to that Prince!" An unfamiliar voice entered my ears. I guess that’s Lady Servant Kang.   ! I'm really going nuts! “The love between Princess Joohyun and Lady Servant Kang was the sign that love stands no reputation and gender...” I read the last text and my head started to ache again. “Forever our love will last” The voice of the young woman once again echoed inside my head, this time, the pain was inhumane. I fell down from my chair while I was grabbing my head, trying to ease the pain I was experiencing. My eyes were closed and tears are forming, I was pulling my hair as I try to bear the pain.
“SeulGi?” The pain went away and I opened my eyes, still teary. I looked up and saw a girl in a hanbok staring at me with a smile on her face and tears streaming down her cheeks. What the ?! “SeulGi, is that you?" She ran to me and hugged me tight; It...It felt real. Is she real? “I thought we are never going to meet again!" She let go of me and looked straight to my eyes. She...She's Princess Joohyun?! Okay, I'm seeing things again. “J-Joohyun?” I said her name and she instantly vanished, like the wind.  That was weird. “Won, you alright? I heard a loud thud. Can you
