Law #6 - Not Everything Is As It Seems.
Once Upon A Time.
Narrator's POV
"My prince!"
Sooyeon's eye twitched at the shrill, raspy, i-just-woke-up-from-a-million-years-of-sleep voice. She waddled awkwardly behind Infinite, Daehyun by her side, just as appalled as she was.
As were Infinite - because what they just witnessed have yet to be processed in their minds.
It's not every day you see Dongwoo's dinosaur lips at work, if you know what I mean.
About a decade and a half of snogging, the star-crossed pair finally stopped and gazed affectionately in each other's embrace.
"Bomi agashi!" Sungyeol interrupted their moment and grinned toothily, as always. "Remember us?"
Within a blink of an eye, the room erupted in excited chatter, all of them reminiscing their moments with this Bomi girl. Our two mains glanced at each other, not knowing what to do - so they just watched absentmindedly.

"Right..." Sooyeon mumbled. "Um, Bomi."
"There, you look much better!"
Sooyeon blinked uncertainly at her rather expensive-looking dress, and then frowned. "Are you sure you can lend this-"
"Of course I am! I have too many dresses to count and this one fits you perfectly. Your beau will be absolutely delighted!" Bomi enunciated each syllable with equal amount of excitement, and Sooyeon could barely keep up.
She eyed herself in the mirror and inwardly smiled.
Dresses in the Middle Ages had intricate detail - it was fascinating, especially to an Arts student like she was.
Being here isn't that bad after all, Sooyeon thought to herself, examining the posh red silk and the soft thread woven fastidiously along the hems of the beautifully embroidered dress.
"Thank you, Bomi." she bowed in gratitude, and she meant it - that was the first time i
