14. He is Princess Jae

Jaejoong was not aware of somebody is standing behind him. He was too busy peeking behind the building.

"Aigoo.. who are you, young lady..."

Jaejoong broke a sweat. His face turn pale. He turn behind. A beautiful lady in green hanbok is smiling sweetly at him. He quickly bow to her.

"Err.. I'm Jaejoong.." He said politely.

"Jaejoong??" Lady Hee Chul take a closer look at Jaejoong. She think for a while before she gasp.
"Princess Jae!?" She said."I'm sorry for not recognizing you, princess... I'm Geungnyeo Hee Chul.." She bows to Jaejoong.(Lady Officer Hee Chul / a person in charge of the Royal Kitchen)

"I'm sorry, princess.. I thought you're one of my girl... But then again, you're too pretty to be one of the girls so you must be the princess..." Lady Hee Chul continue bowing.

'Did she said I'm too pretty???? Damn!' Jaejoong roll his eyes. Honestly, Jaejoong cant blame Lady Hee Chul for saying that. It's true that his appearance is too girlish!

"It's.. it's.. okay... Err.. Don't worry..." Jaejoong wipe his sweat. He thought he was about to get caught by Lady Hee Chul.

"What makes you come all the way here, princess..." Lady Hee Chul giggles softly.

"Err.. the food?" He answered.

"Oh, it's such an honoured to received a visit from you, princess.. Come, I'll show you around!" Lady Hee Chul said.

Jaejoong absent-mindedly follows Lady Hee Chul into the big kitchen. He saw a lot of girls in there, doing their task. Cutting, chopping, cooking... Food... Yum...

He suddenly remembered something.

"I'm sorry.. Er, Lady Hee Chul... But I..." Jaejoong trembled.

"Tell me, princess.. I hope I can help.."

"Do you.. have.. pudding?" Jaejoong look at her with puppy eyes.

"Pudding?" Lady Hee Chul ask him back.

"Yes.. pudding.. I, I feel like eating it.. My omma always keep her handmade pudding in the fridge for me.. But, since I'm here.. I can't have it.." Jaejoong did his puppy eyes again.

"Ohh.. I think I can help you with that.. But the problem is, I have to make it first!" Lady Hee Chul explain.

"So you don't have pudding now?" Jaejoong sounds disappointed.

"No, princess.. I'm sorry..." Lady Hee Chul apologized. "But no worries, I will make one for you and send it to your room.." She said happily.

"Sure? Can it be done?" Jaejoong ask her immediately.

"Geuromyo! (Sure!) It's just a tiny, tiny, tiny whiny pudding..." Lady Hee Chul laugh.

"I hope it has lychees in it..!" Jae grins.

"Uhlsoo..!" Lady Hee Chul replied. (Your wish will be granted)

"Huh? There you are!!! Stop there!!!" The two assistants shouts from far. Jae panic.

"Uh-oh! I'm sorry, Lady Hee Chul! I really have to go now! Hope to see the pudding soon!"

Jaejoong quickly lift up his hanbok and run away.

"Don't run, princess!!!" They screamed.

Lady Hee Chul look at him in amazement.'You should be saying 'Hope to see you soon'.. Not THE PUDDING!'
She laugh hard. Jaejoong reminds her of herself during her young age. (Anyway she wasn't THAT old..) She was laughing at Jaejoong before another lady appear by her side. The lady is Lady Sung Min.

"Don't try anything foolish, Hee Chul.." She said.

"Same to you, Sung Min.." Lady Hee Chul replied and walks off. Lady Sung Min look pissed.

'Anyway, I have some pudding to make!' Lady Hee Chul smiles and starts looking for the ingredients...

Jaejoong was caught in the end. They ask him to clean up and dress him in another new piece of hanbok. Jaejoong hates it so much but he cannot disobey. He must attend a dinner with the Royal family. He wish to skip. But thinking that he will be seeing Changmin, he keep quiet. He follows Lady Sung Min's troop to the Royal Court Dining Hall.

'Aish.... can someone help me with this skirt!?' He gasp.

He saw Prince Min is already there, together with that silly Prince Yun. Yunho waves at Jaejoong happily. Jaejoong smiles back reluctantly and later ignore Yunho. He stares at Changmin next to Yunho. Only Lord knows how glittering Changmin was that night. Jae felt his heart thumping so fast. He wonder why Changmin's eyes is killing him .Compare to Yunho 1000watt killersmile, Changmin's eagle-eyes is more powerful.

They had their dinner nicely. Lady Hee Chul is by their side all the time. Finally its the dessert time.

"This is something different than usual?" Wang Myungsoo gasp.

"A suprise for our princess..!" She replied.

"Its.. its.. its..." Jaejoong trembled.

"Why, Jae?" Changmin whispered softly to him.

"Its.." Jaejoong still mumbling.

"Pudding?" Yunho smiles happily.He quickly took his and eat it.

"I love pudding!!!" Jaejoong smiles and look at Lady Hee Chul in astonishment. Lady Hee Chul wink at him, show him a heart signal. She want Jaejoong to enjoy his dessert.

"Lady Hee Chul made this for me? I'm so happy.." Jaejoong whisper. Changmin look at Jaejoong enjoying his pudding very much, and then he look at his own pudding. He take the cup and hand it over to Jaejoong. Jaejoong look back at him with puppy eyes.

"You seems to like pudding a lot, don't you? Please have mine as well..." Changmin said, manly commanding.

"No, Min.. you should eat it! It tastes so good!" Jaejoong exclaim, showing his thumb to Lady Hee Chul. Lady Hee Chul smiles shyly.
'Yes!!! A compliment from Princess Jae! Yay!' she jump a little.

"No, Jae! You should have it.." Gives the cup to Jaejoong.

"No, Min.. It's yours.." Push the cup to Changmin.

"No, Jae..! I'm sincere.. Please have it!" Push back the cup to Jaejoong.

"No, Min... You can't do this!" Push the cup to Changmin.

Yunho look at both of them in wonder. 'Hey, whats going on...' he thought. Yunho already finish his pudding. He can't give his share to Jaejoong anymore. Yunho look at Changmin in anger.
'What is this joker is doing? Is he trying to provoke me? Best man wins??' He thought.

"Aish..." Jaejoong sigh. Changmin still not giving up.

"Okay! Let's share this!" Jaejoong said. Changmin pause for a while, but he couldn't resist when Jaejoong scoop the pudding and feed him.

Yunho's face turn sour. He completely feel jealous.
'How come he did not feed me like how he feed Min?' He thought. Yunho quickly throw his napkin to the table and got up. He bow to his father and excuse himself.
'Stupid people!' Yunho nags quietly. He did not wish to see more of them and went back to his room.

Jaejoong and Changmin continue to feed each other until the pudding finish. Then both of them excuse themselves and went out to play in the lake garden. Jaejoong starts to sing shyly.

(Actually the song is from My Little Princess -TVXQ)


"Sarangi gaetwo iron nae maumur...Sumgiryo haedo kumsae ibkaui misoman..." He giggles.[translation]I suppose this feeling in my heart would be love.Although I try to hide it, a smile appears on my lips.

Changmin eyes become uneven once more. He smiles cheekily and sing too.

"Haruto andwae tto bogoshipojyo...Onjjoju nae mamun gipeun byongie goringor..."
[translation]It hasn't been even a day but I begin to miss you again.What should I do? My heart has caught a deep illness.

Jaejoong blush a little. He just realized he have a slight crush on Prince Min. Changmin on the other hand, is responding to him as well.

Jaejoong continue another line.
"Gaeinrun nae mujub ijun obsur koyeyo.." (Now I will not have a lazy appearance anymore)

"Jwohan koman boyojugo shipungoryo..." Changmin replied. (I want to show you just my good points)

Jaejoong hides his shy smiles beneath the shadow. The moon shines so brightly above them. Seems another story has just begin.

"Jogi nupeun hanurro naraga...Saranghandago sesangi marharlae.." Jae giggles.(Up there, high in the sky, I want to fly... To tell the world that I love you.)

Changmin smiles. He held Jaejoong's hand suddenly.

"Gipeun bamhanuro kyojiji annun girl..Nomanur jikinun nanungor twekeyo ..You're my love..."(Deep in the night sky, girl!! I will become a star to protect you. You're my love...)

Jaejoong smiles sheepishly at him. 'Omo! I'm blushing!' He thought. (Quickly hide his face and giggles) Both of them become quiet after that. Everything were left unspoken.

"You like me, princess?" Changmin ask softly.

"H.. how am I going to answer that.. aii.." Jaejoong blush. "Liking a guy is wrong, but, I kinda like you, Min!" He answer.

Changmin almost faint. It's like a yes-yes-win situation for him.

"Yes, liking a guy is wrong. But I like you too, Jae.."Changmin smiles shyly.

"That means, we're gay?" Jaejoong ask stupidly.

"Duhh? Silly!" Changmin poked him on his stomach.

"Really? Hey, that tickes!" Jaejoong poked him back.

"Hey..~ Not fair!"

"Yah!!Kim Jae Joong!" Someone shouts sharply.

Suddenly Yunho appear. He stares at both of them.

"Dd.. dd.. dae...!" Jaejoong answer. Changmin look stress up.
'He is spoiling the good moment of me and Jae!' Changmin grit his teeth.

"What are you doing there.. Don't you know that cold weather can make you catch the cold..?" He said to Jaejoong.

"Eh?" Jaejoong puzzled. "Cold?" He ask.

"And... what are you doing with some other man? Don't you know that you're going to be my wife? Don't you know how to take care of your manners?" Yunho ask again.

"Wh.. what?????" Jaejoong frown at him.

"Yah, Yun-hyung... Don't you think your tongue is too sharp today?" Changmin snapped.

"Don't bother!" Yunho stares at Changmin. Changmin was shock by the stares.

Yunho did not wait for long. He just took Jaejoong by the arm and drag him away from Changmin. Changmin took Jaejoong's another arm and grip it tightly. Both of them pull together.

"Aish... both of you.. OOoooohh... stop pulling... Oooh.."Jaejoong cries in pain."Uhmmm.. Prince Yun.. Ohh.. ouch.. Prince Min... Oh, dont pull... Ouuww... Let go...~" Jaejoong gasp.

Yun pull Jae's left arm and Min pull Jae's right arm. Jaejoong is sweating in the middle. Both of the prince is playing tug-o-war with his arms. Jaejoong almost die in between!

Finally Yunho manage to snatch Jaejoong from Changmin's grip. Changmin fell on the floor instantly.

"Min! Min! Aish... Yun, don't... Min!" Jae cries.

Changmin look at them. He can only see Yunho is taking Jae with him. Jae is crying out his name but he can't do anything .Changmin don't have the power against the Crown Prince. He just watch them leave.
