A/N: omfg I'm such an idiot; I accidentally exposed the plot and upcoming chapters for this story because I didn't hide the chapter where I put it. UGH. I can't believe I did that. Now some of the plot is revealed. Nooo. Anyway, you guys didn't see it, right? Well, at least most of you, right? If you did then shhh, keep it to yourself. At least pretend you didn't see. Xo

Dinner was rather loud tonight, far from your normal routine and company of just you and your father. Whilst eating, you could clearly see that the boys were trying their hardest to impress your father, who seemingly just laughed at any jokes they said, even if it wasn't that funny, and surprisingly your father seemed to like them, maybe because for once, he had some 'men' in the house to resort to.

You, on the other hand, were just sitting in your usual place. Quiet, spooning the food in to your mouth, whilst occasionally  fake smiling at the conversation they were holding. To be honest, you would much rather prefer to eat in silence instead with a large amounts of people. Yes, it makes you sound anti-social, but then again, maybe it's partially true. After all, you're not called the ice princess for nothing.

Whilst sitting there, you felt like smirking at the pretend politeness. Your father had no idea that in reality they acted like a bunch of real-life hooligans who, in your opinion, have no sense of cleanliness at all. What's worse is that he expects you to choose to marry one of them; so far, absolutely none of them are doing it for you. Sure, it's only the first day and it's a little judgemental, but first impressions are lasting impressions, and if the boys aren't going to show you they're worth, then they better just leave it.

From your observation, all the members had their fair share of talking, well, all except for Chanyeol and Baekhyun, who practically seemed like two best buds whenever they were next to each other. They were sitting next to you, too, which kind of made your ears partially deaf now.

"Hm, steak's getting a little cold" you silently mumbled to yourself

"Oh, allow me, princess" Chanyeol said. You didn't expect anyone to hear what you said, but you immediately put a confused look on your face. What on earth is he going to do now?

"Huh? No, it's oka-" before you could finish your sentence, he had pouted his lips and let a stream of fire warm up your steak again, or, rather, end up burning your steak a little bit, since the flame was a tad bit too strong.

"Well done, Yeollie" Baekhyun praised him sarcastically

"I'll fix this" said Sehun, who was on your right. He too pouted his lips and used his power of wind to cool it down a bit, not that it helped with the burnt parts.

"It's no different than an ordinary blow" said Luhan, smirking. You felt like laughing too because it was true, Sehun just ended up looking embarrassed by Luhan's words.

"So, princess, what powers do you possess?" Suho asked. All of a sudden, all twelve of them focused their eyes towards you in curiosity at what you were about to say.

You didn't like it when people asked you this question, because really, you had no special powers at all. You've always wished you could say things like 'Invisibility' or 'Flight' but no, you had to be stuck with wisdom and intelligence, in your opinion, those powers pretty much made you sound as if you were a wise man with a long beard sitting on a grass field meditating, kind of like Master Shifu from Kung Fu Panda.

"MiNa just has mental based powers," your father blurted out "Wisdom and Intelligence. I don't know if you know this but, if you're royal-blood, you get to have 3 powers."

"So, what's her third power, then?" Suho asked

"That's the thing, you see. Her third power can only be obtained once she has found a husband and has earned her power; that's where you guys come in"

Thanks dad, I totally could not have explained it without your help.

"Ooh" they all went

"If I were you princess, I would be soo curious to find out what my third power was. Maybe if I was desperate enough, I might even just get married for the sake of getting it. I mean, three powers!" Baekhyun exclaimed

You rolled your eyes. "Yeah, well, I would never do that" you said back, which pretty much brought the mood down.

***

Dinner had finished soon enough. Xiumin and Chen, being the sweethearts they were, had volunteered to clean up and help with the maids, which they kindly declined but the two insisted and you thought that it was very sweet of them.

The boys decided to split up themselves after dinner. Suho, Kyungsoo and Kris were in the living room; where they were absolutely gobsmacked at the size of the modern-day design, with surpreme leathered yet comfortable sofa's, a cinema sized smart TV, topped off with a stunning diamond chandeleir in the middle of it. It was luxury, all right.

The rest of them had decided to go on a tour of the palace, with practically your dad as the guide. He led them to every corner of the house, showing them all the rooms and not forgetting to tell some occassional short stories about when he, much like EXO, was using his own powers to go in to war too when he had passed a few old, large framed pictures of himself on his white horse with a sword behind his back that he could slash out anytime 'back in the day'.

Your father had the 3 abilities of Invisibilty, Strength, and Wisdom too. He is the great grandson of  Wang ('King') Yi San of Busan, one of the many famous monarchs in the history of South Korea. Your father, Wang ('King') Yi Sung, had taken part in wars whenever Korea was involved starting at the age of 18, where he first took part in the Civil Korean War in 1952 and he fought for one year till it ended. Only people with such useful capabilities and skill could take part in wars like this, however, since your father is getting older, his powers are also getting weaker and less efficient. This is why he needs you, the princess, to find someone who will take over his reign. Apparently the boys too have had some experience in the past according to your dad, perhaps as a group or individuals, but to your remembrance, there has hardly been any warfare's involving Korea much during your past 19 years of existance since modern day is evolving in to reality. All you could say your life was is that it was just similar to a lame story book fairy tale with a prince and a damsel in distress, not a world where the princess takes part in combating and fighting with others, heck, you're just a girl, a girl with no valuable powers as such.

Being tired, you decided to go up the stairs to go back in to your own bedroom, since it is really the only place in the palace you feel most at home. Your room was big, and filled with frilly, pink girly things, which is one of the reasons why you like it; you're in favour of the colour pink. Sure, you had other places in the palace, like the living room, the garden, swimming pool, you even had a library, where you sometims go to, it's nice and all, but it would be even nicer if you had someone to talk to and keep company with.

Whenever Yerin comes over, you two like to sit on the sofa, watch movies and eat popcorn, go out and take a walk within the palace gardens, etc. Truthfully speaking, you've never been outside the palace walls. You only see the outside scenery whenever you stood on your balcony in your bedroom, where you could clearly see the green meadows and trees laid ahead in front of you.

Your hand grabbed the railings, you reached the top of the stairs when all of a sudden, someone's chest had immediately crashed in to your face unexpectedly.

"Ow! What the-"

You looked up to find Kai staring down at you with an apologetic look on his face. "Oh gosh," he said, bowing "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, princess. Are you alright?" he asked, placing a hand gently on your shoulder which made you feel slight shivers for some unknown reason.

"Um, yeah," you replied "But be careful next time, though" you said, scratching your head and trying not to look at him because you were flustered and embarrassed at the fact that his chest just collided with you, you were unaware that your cheeks had become pink

"Of course, again, I'm sorry" he said with a smile and went downstairs. How did he get up here so fast?

Shaking your head, you started to make your way back to your room when all of a sudden...

*SMACK*

"Ouch! What the heck?!!" you yelled as you rubbed your now reddened face, it seems as if someone elses chest had struck your face. You looked up to see a tall Chanyeol towering over you.

"Whoa, calm down," he said, you just tilted your head and glared at him "Okay, okay, sorry"

"Right" you replied, unconvinced

He smirked a little bit "I saw what happened with you and Kai" he randomly said

You made a confused face "Uh, okay?"

"You were feeling flustered much?" he asked

"What? No I wasn't?" you looked down at the floor to hide that fact away

"Sureee" he said sarcastically

"Either way, what are you doing up here? I thought you were downstairs, with the rest of them?"

"Them? Huh, what exactly are you trying to imply here, princess?" he scratched his chin "Hm, your dad's right, you can be a little shallow at times"

"What?" you said, seemingly slightly offended "I don't know if you know this, Chanyeol-ssi, but we've only just met!"

"Oh, I know," he replied "Anyway, to answer your question, I was just up here doing some...stuff. You know, arranging my things and unpacking my stuff in the bedroom. Best do it before the guys get here otherwise it'll just be another mess."

"Yeah, of course" you rolled your eyes

"See you later, princess. Oh, by the way, your cheeks are still a bit rosey." he implied

"Aishhh..." you replied annoyingly, rolling your eyes again whilst Chanyeol just smiled and went downstairs.

You successfully went in to your room without any interruptions or random collisions and took out your journal to begin writing again, since it is the only thing you considered to give you a bit of peace and time to express yourself.

We had dinner with EXO tonight (to be honest, it feels weird calling them EXO, even if they are a group, makes them sound like a band). It was with all twelve of them. Hectic, I know. They all couldn't stop talking, especially Baekhyun and Chanyeol. They kind of remind me of Chuck and Larry, actually. Yes, they give that much of a bizzare impression as a duo. I bumped in to Chanyeol on the way up the stairs and we had a small chat, he seemed like one of those annoying kids in class that your forced to sit next to. But, I suppose, I can't judge their whole personality in one day. I also bumped in to Kai too beforehand, he seemed decent. Much more decent than the others, and quiet too, I guess.

Anyway, the first day with them is almost over, but then again I keep on reminding myself of my dad's own words.

"As long as it takes for you to have a slight interest in at least one of them"

Bleurgh. Cringe, cringe.

I didn't want to have my dad to resort to this, but then again, I suppose I left him with no choice. Honestly though, why did he have to pick these 12? Aren't there other Korean boys that are in groups with super natural powers that actually have a clue at what being mature means?

Either way, I'm stuck with it. You know, I actually am getting in to writing. I mean, it would help. After all, whenever something would happen, I could just rant about it for pages and pages with just a bit of ink. In fact, I might even begin make writing in to this journal a usual thing.

And you left your first review on the boys at that. You closed the journal and placed it back in to the drawer. You looked outside, it was getting quite dark, but then again, it was nearly seven o'clock in the evening. You usually would go to sleep late, so right now would probably be a good time to take a shower to give your hair some time to dry off.

You got in to your bathrobe before going off to the bathroom. Your bathroom was literally your bathroom; it's use is only for you and even you personalised it by yourself. It had a bubble-making bathtub and painted a light lilac with ceramic tiles as flooring, but then again,  it was just as big and luxurious as the next person with money overflowing their pockets. You ran the bathtub with water and some bubble bath and went in to your bedroom to pick up some new pajamas from your wardrobe. You came back and by then the tub was filled with big, fluffy bubbles on the surface, just the way you liked it. You dimmed down the lights and lit up some scented candles.

'Perfect' you thought.

You slipped in to the bathtub and soaked yourself in the bubble bath's strong yet sweet lilac scent. You closed your eyes and your neck had rested on a bathtub pillow which you had placed on the rim of the tub. It was peaceful and absolutely relaxing, however, it only remained like that for quite some time.

Coming from outside the door, you heard giggling. You opened one of your eyes and raised an eyebrow. Were they seriously beggining to annoy you now, right in the middle of you taking a bath?

Their little laughs faded away quickly, but you couldn't help but get slightly worried. After a minute or two, you decided to get up and peek on them. You grabbed your bath robe and slowly opened the door, but no one was there. You shrugged it off, but, however, you couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. You began looking for your clothes that you hung behind the door, but it wasn't there. And then the thought struck you as you practically smacked yourself on the forehead. You realized that you  recklessly left the door unlocked, and now you're left strutting around the palace with nothing but a bathrobe on because they had literally taken your clothes.

You took a deep breath in first before you suddenly just bursted out in anger

"YAH...! YOU LITTLE..!" you yelled

A/N: Owu, you guys are such silent readers! :< Anyway, I might update more these days, guys. Reason is cause I have an English exam in the first week of November, and I wanna improve on my writing, hehe. Btw, thank you to those who have upvoted this story! Saranghae <3
