‘How does making Cinderella trip and rolled into the lake before leaving the ball sounds?’ Uee questioned

‘I like it.’ L.joe said nodding ‘then she can scream like a pig when she’s stuck in the pumpkin and says ‘My has gotten bigger.’ ‘

‘That’s Genius.’ Key said nodding

I chuckled ‘C’mon guys, we have to be serious about this.’ I said.

Right now, We all were in the classroom preparing for the play. My job was to find a suitable background music for each scene and then I’ll have to inform the instrumental group, so they can practice the piece. Chunji, Uee and L.joe had to work together to recreate the story and plot, while also making the script. Onew, Nana and Jungah were helping Minho designing the appropriate crops for the play. Key was doing sketches of the costumes, Kahi is thinking of hair styles and make up for each character and Jonghyun was planning how to layout the stage. Taemin and Boa weren’t in here with us, since the script isn’t done yet, they didn’t have any practice.

‘Hey, who’s the director here?’ Chunji said

I rolled my eyes ‘You Oppa.’ I said

Chunji grinned ‘exactly! So I say in the story, Cinderella gets hit by a pumpkin on the head as the mice are gathering all of the needed things for her to get ready for the ball. On top of that when she got out of the carriage, her dress got caught on the door and tore her dress off.’ He said

‘oh~ I like that! Exactly what I expect from my babe!’ L.Joe said grinning.

Key grinned ‘making a rip-able dress? No problem!’ he said

‘BY chance could you add in the story, that the step mother abuses Cinderella? I know it’s exaggerated but c’mon, we have to show the audience that Cinderella is suffering.’ Nana reasoned

‘Request accepted!’ Uee, L.joe and Chunji said nodding and grinning

‘YES!’ Nana shouted happily and fist pumped ‘Babe! We’ll need a broomstick! NO! wait make that a baseball bat!’

‘Sure thing Babe’ Minho said smirking ‘Want a gun with that too?’

I shook my head at their childishness ‘and you would expect Minho to be the mature and serious one.’ I thought.

Suddenly the classroom door opened, all of our heads turned to face the door.

‘oh…Taemin…did you forget something here?’ Onew asked looking at Taemin who entered the room.

Taemin smiled and shook his head ‘Ani, I just wanted to be here to help everyone out.’ He said

Everyone looked at each other feeling a little surprised…this was the first time ever since Taemin was with Boa that he would actually make time to be with everyone.

Taemin let out a chuckle ‘Since Boa went out to hang with her friends, I thought I should spend some time with everyone. It seems like it’s been a while.’ He said

‘Tsk, the idiot only wanted time with us because his girlfriend ditched him’ I could hear Chunji whispered

‘Well sure, you can help me paint’ Minho said handing Taemin a brush ‘Paint me a sign to advertise our play.’

Taemin nod, taking the brush from Minho and went to get a large board, taking it and placing it near where I was working and also sat down to work on the sign.

‘So what are you doing Byul-a-na Milk?!’ Taemin asked me

‘Choosing the background sound track.’ I answered without looking away from the music scores in front of me

‘Found any yet?’ He asked

I shook my head ‘not yet.’ I answered

 ‘Why are you short answering?’ Taemin asked

I rolled my eyes ‘because your asking short questions.’ I resorted

 ‘I’ll ask long questions then!’ he declared

I raised a brow at him ‘you know…we could just not talk and get to work.’ I said

Taemin pouted ‘Ani! Taeminnie wants to have a long Conversation with Byul-a-na milk since it’s been a while since we’ve talked.’ He said

‘A while? We greeted this morning’ I stated

Taemin pouted again ‘That doesn’t count! It was only one word!’ he whined

‘Then go and talk with your Hyungs or something, it’s not like you have been talking to them in a ‘while’ ‘ I said

‘Ani! Taeminnie wants to talk with Byul-a-na milk’ he said stubbornly

‘But I don’t, I’m working’ I said

 ‘Byul-a-na milk can work and talk to Taeminnie at the same time.’ He said

‘Aishi! Seriously you two!’ L.Joe said annoyed ‘Taemin just leave her alone, let her work and get back to your own work’

Taemin frowned. But it’s not like Taemin would listen to anyone, so he only continued to whine.

-3 Hours Later-

‘I’ll get us some drinks and snacks’ I said standing up from my seat.

‘Taeminnie will come and help you!’ Taemin volunteered happily, also stood up.

‘No, just stay here and work.’ I said

Taemin shook his head stubbornly ‘Ani! Taeminnie wants to help Byul-a-na Milk!’ he whined

‘Then, why don’t Taemin you go get the snacks and Byul you’ll get the drinks. That way it’ll be easier and quicker for you both.’ Kahi said.

Taemin pouted ‘but Taeminnie wants to go with Byul-a-na milk!’ he whined

‘Just get going.’ Everyone said uncaringly to Taemin’s whining.

Taemin gave up and walked out sulking, while I just sigh and shook my head at his behavior.

‘ I’ll be back quick’ I said

‘Okay’ they said

I gladly walked through the hall towards to the closest venting machine, which lucky for me, it was just around the corner. However…it wasn’t the only the venting machine that I saw when I turned…but the fact that I saw Boa and an unknown guy.  They didn’t seem to see me since the venting machine must of covered me…but I could see them clearly from where I stood.

‘Great…I have to seem her here…’ I thought

I ignore the thought and was also going to ignore Boa, and just get the drinks…when the next event made me froze in my place and shocked me…

There…there before me was Boa and the unknown guy were in a lip lock. They were kissing…or for the correct term in this century was…making out. I knew well I should be minding my own business and the fact that Nana had also said just leave how things are with Taemin and Boa…letting Taemin ‘Learn his lesson’ and all…but…but isn’t this too much? I never knew Boa would be this low. I guess now I know why when I said that Boa might be able to change, everyone seemed to have no hope in that.

‘Babe, so your like, with that brainless prince right?’ the guy questioned stopping their make out session.

Boa gave a flirting smile to him and nod ‘Yeah. Hahaha his such a gullible kid.’ She said

‘Tsk, guess his a dumb royal’ the guy stated

Boa laughed heartedly ‘He is.’ She agreed

‘Well please do make use of him and try getting me a sports car or something’ the guy said smirking

Boa smiled brightly at the guy and nod ‘Sure, anything you want Babe.’ She said as she gave him another kiss on the lips.

I could feel the temperature inside of me raising, my blood was boiling in anger…the anger that was inside of me was intense enough to make me feel sick and suffocating. However, instead of choosing to face Boa and her other hidden partner, I returned back to the classroom.

‘Byul your back…hey where are the drinks?’ Chunji questioned seeing that I came back empty handed

Taemin was already back in the room, surrounding him were the snacks that he got.

I dismissed Chunji’s question and looked at Taemin. ‘Hey Dog face.’ I called

Taemin looked at me ‘Hmm?’ he responded

‘On the way…I saw Boa’ I said

instantly Taemin’s face brightened and an automatic smile made it on to his face…his too love sick to know the reality that his living in.

‘She was alone and all, I think she was looking for you. Before I could call her, she already headed towards the cafeteria’ I said

Instantly Taemin stood up and was heading towards the door. But before he could leave out the door, I called his name once again…getting his attention.

‘Yeah Byul-a-na milk?’ Taemin said turning to look at me

I didn’t know…what I was thinking…or how the hell did I even manage to say the words I did to him…

‘Stay with her…stay with her 24 hours like how you did to me. Never leave her side…okay?.’ I stated rather them requesting him

Being dense Taemin is, I knew he wouldn’t get my hidden message but…but as long as he would listen and do as I had told him…he’ll be fine.

Taemin smiled and nod ‘Neh, okay!’ he said and left.

The door closed and the room and silent…but Chunji was the one to break it.

‘What the F*** was that?!’ Chunji said loudly, anger was in his tone. ‘Why the F*** would you tell him to go to that B****?!’

I shrugged my shoulders as if it wasn’t an important matter…but really…it really bothered me. ‘I just saw her and it’s only right to let Taemin know.’ I said

I knew that Chunji was pissed and furious…and it was at me. But it seemed like Kahi, Uee, L.joe and Key knew that something was not right.

‘Byul…something happened didn’t it? Something happened when you went to get the drinks. You saw Boa…but there’s more to it’ Kahi said

Who was I trying to hide from? Practically everyone in this room knew me well enough to know when I’m hiding something…well with Chunji been an exception since we only meet a few days ago.

‘Byul, it’s bothering you right? You can tell us…or someone to let it off your chest’ Uee said

‘I saw Boa…but not only her. She was with another guy. Their relationship is very close…even closer then hers with Taemin.’ I said ‘they made out.’

‘That B****! I knew that Taemin wasn’t the only one she was with!’ Key said angrily ‘But are you F***ing kidding me? She would meet up and make out with someone else, Behind his back?!?!’

I could feel the tension raising in the room, tension and anger.

‘Wait! Does that mean you told Taemin to get to Boa so that he could see that she was cheating on him?’ Jonghyun questioned

‘When I left, they already departed. Boa went to the Cafeteria like I said’ I explained

Everyone one the room seemed lost and was giving me a questioning look.

‘If that’s so…then why did you Tell Taemin to go to Boa?’ Onew asked

‘Yeah…and what’s with the ‘stay with her 24 hours like how you did to me. Never leave her side’? What are you trying to do?’ Jonghyun questioned

‘Because the only way for Boa and that guy to not see each other…if Taemin is always by her side, that guy and boa would know better then to meet each other’ I said  ‘I mean what I’ve said about staying beside her 24 hours. Because the reason that I’ve came to falling for him was the fact that I get to know more about him, his personality, expressions, behavior and the way he thinks…and all of that was because his clings to me everyday, every hour, every second. When I wake up the first I hear and see is him and when the day comes to an end it’s the same.’

 ‘so…if Boa gets the same treatments as how Taemin use to give me…it‘s possible…it’s possible that she might fall for Taemin and change for him’ I explained

Everyone was speechless, staring at me surprised.

‘B-Byul…’ Nana stuttered not knowing what to say to me.

I gave a sad smile ‘I’m an idiot aren’t i? Still believing that Boa and Taemin could possibly be happy together…to give them a chance to be together.’ I said

None could say a word, only coming to embrace me.

But…but what I’ve said seemed to one sided…that was only the one out of the two reasons I thought of. The other is…is for me to hope that maybe...just maybe if Taemin spends 24 hours with Boa…he might be able to realize and caught on to things that she isn’t who he think she is…and possibly could end it.

Since when did I have such thoughts?

I was thinking of something that was considered bad.

When did I become to think so selfishly?

What kind of Princess am i?

A princess is always to put others before herself, to make all sacrifices to make others happy.

So why am I like this?

I smiled bitterly which no one could see. ‘Taemin…I’m becoming someone I’m not proud of…and it’s because of my feelings for you.’ I thought

Yet… I can’t hate him. I can’t even blame him.

F*** why am I like this?

-Chunji Pov-

I as well as everyone else could see that there were a lot of things going on with Byul…but one of the main thing that concerns us the most is how giving Byul was…Never is taking anything…always giving. The only thing she ever took was is pain. And I hated Boa for that…I’m disappoint in Taemin.

One by one we each went to embraced Byul…to give her comfort and to let her know we are here for her.

 ‘Byul, Listen. Listen Oppa and do as I say. Alright.’ Key stated like a demand  instead of giving her a choice ‘From today…from this second to the end…Be selfish’

I was surprised Key would say something like this…what surprised me even further was the fact that everyone nodded agreeing with him.

‘Byul, this time be selfish and make yourself happy. Your always letting go of things that are making you happy’ Jungah said  ‘This time take it, doesn’t matter what anyone say, think or feel. Be selfish.’

‘Your always hurting because of him, at this point I don’t even think his good enough for you. You deserve better. You deserve to be happy and have things you want for a change’ Minho said.

‘Minho is right you know. I couldn’t agree more to what he had said ‘Nana said ‘But if you feel that you can’t get over him…then Jungah is right fight back and take him away from that B****’

Everyone nod once again agreeing with Minho and Nana. I didn’t give a response, while as Byul was looking down at the ground debating whether to do as they told her.

‘If I do that…Taemin wouldn’t be happy…’ Byul whispered but we all could hear her

‘This is exactly what we’re talking about. Always being considerate and selfless.’ Uee said

‘This time forget it. Forget it if makes Taemin happy or not, do whatever you want so that YOUR happy’ Onew stated

‘Onew is right. Taemin is too F***en dumb to even know what makes him happy. His being delusional right now. And if your always going to make him happy, your just keeping him always from reality.’ Jonghyun said

Nana and Jungah are people who I would expect of this, but never did I ever thought the guys would say such things like this…it surprised me a lot that Key would say something like that…I mean Taemin was like his ‘baby’ , Onew never to tells anyone to be selfish…his always about giving and fair , Minho would never encourage someone to do something or demand someone, Jonghyun…don’t even get me started… that idiot never a word came out of his mouth since birth was ever meaningful aside from his confession to Kahi and how he had befriended us. …but this time he was right. Even I found myself to agree with everyone, and it was against my own blood cousin. We’re such good royals huh? Telling someone to be selfish…but there is a reason why Byul should be selfish.

‘Byul Promise us. Promise us you’ll be selfish to make YOU happy.’ Key said

Byul was unsure, I could tell that she didn’t know whether she should or not.

‘Byul Promise us.’ Key repeated with more demand.

With hesitation Byul nod slowly ‘I promise…’ she said

‘Don’t hesitate, Say it with confidence’ Key said

‘I promise. I’ll be selfish and make myself happy’ Byul repeated with more confidence.

Everyone smiled, proud of Byul.

‘Oh and another thing.’ L.joe said getting everyone’s attention ‘Next time, if Taemin ever asked you to go anywhere with him ever again. Ditch it. So just agree with him when he asks so he doesn’t whine to you and then don’t turn up. It’s not like he ever turns up anyway.’

I raised a brow at L.joe ‘What happens if he does turns up?’ I questioned

‘That’s the thing, he wouldn’t. so don’t wait for him.’ L.Joe Concluded

Byul chucked and nod ‘I already told myself to never set foot out of the academy with him anyways.’ She said

Everyone laughed

‘We’re proud of you’ Kahi said smiling.

Everyone nodded including me.

‘Let’s get back to work, there’s a whole load of things we have to finish’ Nana said

-The Next Day-

-Your Pov-

- Cinderella Play Meeting –

‘WHAT IS THIS?!’ the teacher in charge of Cinderella’s play  shouted as she read the story plot and scrip.

‘Something wrong Teach?’ a student questioned

‘YES, THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG!’ She exclaimed ‘What kind of plot and script is this?!’

Hearing this I turn my head and gave L.Joe, Uee and Chunji the ‘what the hell did you guys wrote!’ look.

‘What? It sounded genius to me’ L.Joe stated

The teacher’s hand were shaking…shaking in frustration…’EXPLAIN TO ME WHY AFTER EVERY LINE THAT IS BEING SAID, CINDERELLA GETS HIT ON THE HEAD BY A BROOMSTICK?! DID I EVEN SEE A MENTION OF BEING SWACK BY A BASEBALL BAT?!’ she exclaimed frustrated

‘Well we have to show that Cinderella is having a hard time and IS suffering living with the step mother and sister’ L.Joe said

‘LET ME FINISH! THAT’S NOT ALL!’ the teacher shouted ‘ A PUMKIN DROPPED ON HER HEAD?! THE GLASS SLIPPER IS GOING TO BE MADE OF ICE? DO YOU WANT A STUDENT TO GET A HEAD CONCUSSION?! MUCH LESS HOW WOULD THE PRINCES FIND CINDERELLA IF THE SHOE WOULD MELT!’

‘that’s what we wanted’ I heard them all (Not including Taemin and Boa) muttered

‘AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE DRESS BEING RIPPED DUE TO THE CARRIAGE! CINDERELLA TRIPPED AND ROLLED INTO THE LAKE?! HOW IS THERE EVEN GOING TO BE A LAKE ON THE STAGE? WHY DOES SHE EVEN HAVE TO ROLL INTO A LAKE?!’ The teacher continued to scold ‘WHAT KIND OF ENDING IS THIS? ‘THE PRINCE HAD FOUND CINDERELLA…THE END’ THE END?! WHERE IS THE KISSING SCENES? WHY ARE THERE NOT ANY ROMANIC SCENE AT ALL IN THIS PLOT!’

‘Well, of course we’ll have to change the story and make it comedy, beside this play is an attraction for kids. Kissing scenes and Romanic scenes could ruin their sweet youthful minds.’ Chunji stated

By now the teacher was steaming and fuming in extreme frustration.

‘WE’RE FOLLOWING THE DISNEY’S CINDERELLA PLOT AND SCRIPT! NO COMPLAINTS!’ the teacher shouted ‘SO! Everyone get started on preparation, practicing and managing! Actors and actresses follow me, I’ll give you the scripts’

‘Well that was a waste of time to think of such genius ideas’ L.Joe said

I gave him a look ‘Genius? It was like a hidden story within Cinderella to murder Cinderella’ I joked

‘That’s the whole point’ Key, Jonghyun and Chunji muttered

I shook my head at them ‘great royals they are’ I thought

‘Well, luck to you guys. I’m off to show the instrumental group the soundtracks’ I said standing up

‘Yeah…luck to you too’ they said gloomily.

I laughed at them ‘hey, you could always secretly mess up the play somehow’ I joked and left

-Chunji Pov-

‘hey, you could always secretly mess up the play somehow’ Byul joked and left

Right then and there a planned popped up in my head…

‘Guys I got an idea.’ I said

‘Idea for what?’ Jonghyun questioned

I smirked ‘to mess up the play.’ I said

Hearing this, it caught everyone’s attention…well Onew and Jungah weren’t here since they went to get the script with the others and Byul just left a moment ago.

‘How exactly are you going to mess up the play?’ Minho questioned

‘Not exactly messing it up more like…changing it a little.’ I said

‘Well...tell us the plan.’ Kahi said

‘you know the last scene of Cinderella how it goes right?’ I questioned

Everyone nodded ‘Cinderella fits the slipper, the prince would then ask her to marry him and end it with a kiss’ Key said

I smirked ‘ and there’s no way in hell am I ever going to let my cousin lose his first kiss to that B****’ I said

It seemed that they all caught on of what I was say and got an idea of what the plan I was going to tell them be.

‘hahaha I just love the way you think Babe’ L.Joe said smirking…a y smirk I might add, at me

I twitched for a moment and slapped L.joe on the head ‘Don’t go f***en gay on me right now.’ I scolded, before turning back to everyone and was serious again ‘so there’s the plan.’

-Your Pov-

I knew that these 3 weeks of practicing and getting ready for the play will be hectic.  Not just that but surely I wouldn’t want to be watching the practice…who knows how many replays of the ending scene will be repeated.

‘Aww Boa is so lucky! She gets to kiss Taemin Oppa in the end’ a girl squealed

 ‘Does that mean, they’ll be practicing kissing scenes as well?’ asked another girl

Exactly the reason why I didn’t want to watch the play.

‘Ani! I heard that to make the play more interesting is if Boa and Taemin have their first fist done on the play day.’ Another girl said

Really? First kiss? This could be Boa’s 54^th kiss or more. I knew that this would be Taemin’s first kiss and I’m pretty damn sure his excite and nervous at the same time about it.

‘Aishi…what am I suppose to do about that?’ I thought annoyed

Definitely…it will be 3 hard weeks.
