7. Entering Dae Jang Geum (Jewel Palace)

Jaejoong was tired of knocking the car door and trying to get out. So he stop trying and start sulking.

"Don't think too much, princess.. Only Lady Empress Yeowang Na Ra wants to see you." Kibum said softly from the front seat.

"Are you crazy? Can't your eyes even tell whether I'm a boy or a girl?" Jaejoong shouted at him. "You crazy!" He smirk at Kibum.

Kibum just smile gleefully. He knew Princess Jae has a lot to improves on his/her manners.

"Bring him to Lady Sung Min. She know what to do!" Kibum give his assistant a command as soon as they reached the palace's garden. The big build bodyguards just grab Jaejoong arms and he was helpless in their grip. Kibum just laugh cheerfully. He can feel something great will happen in the palace very soon.....

++++++++++

"Aiii.." Sung Min sighed and smiles. She/He is adoring Jaejoong's pretty skin and look. Shindong smiles as well.

"Lady Sung Min, I want to chant a 4 lines poem.." He said.

"Go ahead, my boy Shindong.." Sung Min granted his wish.

(Writers POV: It was actually the first verse of Rokkugo lyrics..)

"Ahn, mahnda.. mahnda.. mahnda manha..." Shindong chant.

"Da... ippeun, ippeun, ippeunida.." Sung Min continues his poem line.

"Yoboge jogi, joge boyo.." Shindong grins become more idiotic.

Sung Min and Shindong got into a line and start waving their hips.

"Yobo, angyong anboyo!!" Both of them laugh hysterically.

Jaejoong look at them in awe. He smirked at them.
'Crazy people.. Is this really a palace?' He thought.

"Uhummm.. hmm.." Sung Min cleared his throat. She knew Jaejoong is hating them both already.

"Shindong!! Stop being cheesy. Respect the princess here.." Sung Min said. He turn and smile sweetly to Jaejoong. "Now.. you have to behave like a princess." He said as he grip Jaejoong's chin very hard. Jae screamed in pain.

"The Royal Empress Yeowang Na Ra-mama is going to meet you up. Just remember, don't say anything before she asked you. Don't stare at her in her eyes. Don't raise your voice... And... always adress her as, "Your Highness".." Sung Min let go of her grip."Araseumnikka?" (Do you understand? - in polite, orthodox way)

Jaejoong nodded quickly."Nan ara." (I know. - in manly command)

"Hmm?" Sung Min stared sharply at Jaejoong. Jaejoong shivered instantly.
"Er.. Aa.. Arasseo yo.." (I know - in feminine form)

"Guraesseo!" (Good!) Sung Min exclaimed happily and smiles."Now, princess... Let's go to the waiting room..." SungMin held Jaejoong's hand and lead him out from the royal dressing room.
Jaejoong tripped and trembled as he walk. He is not used to the fancy looking 'hanbok' (Korean traditional dress) that he is wearing right now. Luckily Lady Sung Min was holding his hand all the time. So they walked slowly and went inside another palace to a place call 'waiting room'.

'Waiting room, whatever..' Jaejoong smirk.

++++++++++++

Changmin's eyes widen as he saw Jaejoong passing by the Royal meeting room. He blinked his eyes a little and rub it.
'Am I getting too sleepy during this meeting? Or am I thinking of Jae too much?' he thought and quickly focus on what Wang Myungsoo is talking. Yunho was kneeling next to him, focusing. His mother Yeowang Na Ra is next to his father on the throne. While his own mother, Yeowang Hae Jung is sitting down next to the throne. Next to it, on the floor.
And not on it. How Changmin pity his mother for that.

His father, Wang Myungsoo, was coughing all the times. He spoke a little bit by a little bit. It was about Prince Yun's day to get on his throne.

"I'm getting old.. Yunnie, Minnie.. Haha.. *suddenly cough*"

"Appa..." Changmin worried. He almost got up from kneeling.

"It's okay Min.. Anyway, thank you for coming back and listening to my word. Finally both of you brothers are together again.." Wang Myungsoo said. Yunho smirk at the emperors words.

"Prince Yun, my son.. Today I will crowned you as yeonchinwang (Crown Prince).. We are preparing for your celebration soon. *cough cough*"

Yeowang Hae Jung look at her husband sympathically.

On the other hand, Yeowang Na Ra was smiling, as she is not being attentive enough. Wang Myungsoo continues.
"I want you to replace me. And some more, I want to see your wedding before I die.." Wang Myungsoo said again.

"Wed..wedding?" Yunho cries.

"Don't talk back to me, Yun." The emperor snapped.

"But.. but I..." He mumbled.

"This is an order!"

"....." Yunho become speechless.

Yunho just accept his fate. 'How am I going to be gay if I have to marry?' he thought.
Changmin look a little at Yunho. 'How come you're getting married but you look so sad? What an ungrateful brat!'
He showed face to Yunho and look away.

"So, after this.. Me, your mother and your younger brother will lead you to your bride-to-be.."

"Mworeugesseo? (What?)" Yunho puzzled."Aigoo.. appa... You can't be serious.. aigoo.."

Yunho look up to his father. He immediately became crabby.

"Ha-ha-ha.. Are you happy, son? Ha-ha.. *cough* Oh my, I can't even laugh when I'm happy... God is realty testing me.."

"Husband, don't say that.." Yeowang Na Ra whispered and rub his chest a little. 'Good job, my baby..' She smiled and show her thumb to her son, Prince Yun.

The Royal Emperor laughed a little before they leave the meeting room. Changmin walked slowly behind his father and step-mother. Yunho the grumpy, is next to him. The rest of the servant, including Prince Min's mother are not allow to join the Royal family.

Lady Sung Min smiles as she sees Wang Myungsoo and Yeowang Na Ra coming towards them.

"The Emperor is enterring!!!! The Empress is entering....!!~ " Shindong say it out loud.

Jaejoong broke a sweat!

'They're here....'
He panic!

6. Leaving Kim's House

Prince Yun flip his handphone. "Dae! Wae guraesseo, Siwon?" (In Royal polite accent)
The call was from Siwon, his assistant.

"My lord Prince Yun. You have to come back now. The car is waiting for you at the porch."

"Dae, agesumnida." (I understood.)

Prince Yun carried his bag and walk to the hallway.

Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu were talking and laughing down the hallway. Suddenly the three boys stops laughing and stood freeze. The gliterring Prince Yun is walking towards them.
It's not a mistake, he IS coming to them.
Yoochun and Junsu heart's flowered, pushing each other lightly. But Jaejoong's sweat just drop. He thought Prince Yun is really coming to get him. Maybe the prince want to tear him into pieces.

Yunho saw the three boys were staring at him. Yunho recognized one of them very much. He is the skinny joker he met at the school rooftop a few hours ago. Yunho walked himself to them. He stood right in front of Jaejoong and stared closely to him. Yunho looked at Jae up and down. Then he saw Jaejoong's shoes. It was pink in color. Yunho just grin at the shoes.

"You're as sissy as you look." He said coldly.

Jaejoong's face turned red. He bit his lips a little. He knew Yunho is making fun of his shoes. But he couldn't reply him back. Jaejoong frowned, as a sign of protest. He was so angry at Yunho.
Yunho smiles evilishly and walk off, disappear from their sight. Yoochun and Junsu were dumbfounded at the prince's action to Jae.

"I can't believe he just make fun of my shoes!!" Jaejoong screamed angrily. He stomp his foot a little and sulked.

"Whoa, I never knew Prince Yun have a sharp tongue!" Yoochun said."Did you do anything that make him pissed off?" Junsu asked curiously.

"I did not!!" Jaejoong stared widely at Junsu. "But Changmin loves my shoes.."

"Changmin??" YooSu replied together.

"Huh!! But who cares about what that stupid wangja say? I hate Prince Yun! I wish Korea have another prince than Yun!"

Another prince than Yun. That's what Jaejoong wished for.

++++++++++++++++++

Yunho got into the car and suprised to see Changmin was in there.
'Another joker..' his heart snapped.
'So he is back from oversea?' Yunho thought.
Yunho wished he could take another car but there was something happening in the palace. So Yunho had to share the car with Changmin, whether he likes it or not.

Changmin looked away as soon as his eyes meets Yunho. He hates Yunho as much as Yunho hates him. 'Aishh.. Why is this snobbish brat here?' Changmin smirk. Changmin quickly plug his ears with iPod and not talking a single word to Yunho. He don't even want to hear what his hyung got to say to him so he just listen to Boyz II Men.

The car just drove off as soon as the royal servants got into the limousine. Yunho close his eyes and tries to relax. Changmin was ignoring him as well. He wondered whats chaos that really happen in the royal palace. Is this about the throne again?

++++++++++++++++++++

Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu walked happily to their home. Basically today Jaejoong's mother is cooking all three of them their lunch so YooSu is following Jaejoong to his house. YooSu stopped talking about Prince Yun suddenly. Jaejoong felt glad for that. They skipped and walked, skipped and walked until they reached Jae's house.
The three boys quickly took off their shoes and get into the house.

"Omma! I'm home!" Jae shouts happily.

"Eomunim! Annyeoung!" Yoochun waved happily to Mrs. Kim. Junsu grins widely and waved at her too.

"Ahh.. Annyeonghaseyo Junsunie, Yoochunnie.. Come in, come in! The food is ready for all of you!" Mrs. Kim greeted the boys with a smile and leads them to the kitchen.

"Omma!!" Jaejoong grab his mother shoulder and hug her from behind.
Mrs. Kim suprised by the hug. She smiles to her boy.

"Omma, you're the best! You cook ALL my favourite food!" Jae smiled and grin happily.

"Dae, gurae! (Of course!) Today is your birthday, don't you remember?" Mrs. Kim said.

"My birthday? Really?" Jaejoong at his mother, then to YooSu.

"Saeng il chuka hae, Jaejoong!! (Happy bithday Jaejoong!)" YooSu shouts together, showing him present in their hands.

"Wow!" Jaejoong was suprised. "For me? Thank you!!"
He grinned happily and took the present from Yoochun and Junsu.

"Aishhh.. My Jaejoong beondaegi (cocoon) really forgotten his own birthday .." Mrs. Kim laughed softly.

"Omma! Stop calling me beondaegi, beondaegi.. It's my birthday today, ok.. So be nice!"

"Ok, ok, arasseo.. Come boys, lets eat.."As the boys were digging in the delicious food, Mrs. Kim heard someone knocking the door.

"I'll get it..!" She got up and open the door. A few strong man entered the house and bump her shoulder hard.

"Ouch!!" Mrs. Kim scream in pain.

"Omma!! What happen?" Jaejoong yell from inside the house.

The blacksuited-bodyguards went into the house and start looking around. Mrs. Kim got up from the floor and went inside, stoping the men from entering her house.

"Who are you guys? Are you guys a loanshark? We don't own money to any loan shark!!! So, what do you want??" Mrs. Kim screamed like mad.

"Omma!!" Jaejoong heard his mother screaming. He quit eating and went out to the living room.
Jaejoong screamed in shock. He saw a lot of men inside his house. But they did not touch anything inside the house.

Kibum look around, taking off his sunshades. He look at Yoochun, Junsu and Jaejoong. He looked at Jaejoong very long before he bow to them.

"I'm sorry for my rudeness." He bow to Mrs. Kim. "My name is Kibum. I've come for the princess." He told Mrs. Kim politely.

"Princess? Er, I think, er, there aren't any princess in here." Mrs. Kim stumbled. "We are not high-class people.." She adds.

"If you're looking for a lady, I'm the only lady here!" Mrs. Kim explain.

Kibum got up from the long bow and look at Jaejoong. He look at his features and glance at his necklace. Then he smiled before he bow to Jaejoong.

"Annyeong hashimnikka, PRINCESS!" he said.

"ME?" Jaejoong point his finger to himself. "Eh?" He puzzled."An...An.. Ani yo, you're mis.. mis.. mistaken.. I'm not.. not.. not.. a GIRL!!!!" Jaejoong trembled in shock.

"You may say whatever you want, but the Royal Majesty Wang Myungsoo has said to me, to bring back the princess to the palace. I'm just doing my duty. So, please. Don't make it hard to you." Kibum said and smiled to Mrs. Kim.

"Omma!!!" Jaejoong shouts in panic to his mother.

Mrs. Kim tears fell down, as she was not able to say a word."Gurae yo.. (Okay then).." she paused and cry softly."Just do what you want..." She cry and cry.

"Omma!!" Jaejoong shouts.

"Eomunim!! Don't!!" Yoochun and Junsu stand in front of Jaejoong, as if protecting him.

Kibum was suprised by their friendship. He smiled and glance softly at the two boys.

"If you said Jae is a princess, then.. just pick me.. I'm willing to take his place.." Yoochun said excitedly.'Haha! If I become a princess, then I'll be married to Korean prince... Prince YUN!!' he grins.

"Yes, you can take me too, if you want." Junsu said wickedly. 'I can be with Prince Yun in the palace! Yahoo!!' He laughed.

"Omma!!" Jae shouts again. 'YooSu is really out of their mind!!!' Jae snapped. He cant believe his omma is not doing anything to stop them from taking him away.

"Mianhae, Jaejoongie.. my pretty boy, my baby... Your late father has promised the Emperor on this matter... Omma did not know how to protect you from them anymore... I'm sorry..."

"Omma!! How can this be??"

"You.. were born.. a girl... I thought by fixing you, they won't be coming anymore... but.. omma was wrong... They came and want to take you away from omma forever.. uhuk!"

"A girl?" Yoochun gasped.

"Fixing... him??" Junsu stunned.They look at each other.

"Me? A girl? Omma... don't tell me that this is true... Omma, tell me it's a lie!! It's a LIE!!!!" Jaejoong yell at her and cry.

"Mianhaeyo, my baby boy.. Omma is bad mother... Blame it on omma.." Mrs. Kim uttered softly. She is hitting her own face and blaming herself.

Jaejoong run away from YooSu. He hugs his mother tightly.

"No, you're not a bad mother.. Mianhae, I was bad to you. You gave birth to me, raise me well, make me a boy but I was not grateful to you." He sob."I was lazy, I didn't study hard and show you good grades.. But I will changed that now! Just please, omma, don't let them take me!" He cries.

"Yes, don't take him. He is not worth it. Take me instead!" Junsu replied.

"No, take me! I'm more pretty than him." Yoochun said. Junsu gave Yoochun a look.'Sorry, Junnie..' He whisper. Yoochun grin like an idiot but still expecting them to take him instead.

Kibum gave a look at his assistant and they quickly took both of Jaejoong's arm and drag him away from Mrs. Kim.

"Joesunghamnida, Mrs.Kim.. We are going now.." Kibum said as the bodyguard drag Jaejoong out. Jaejoong struggle and try to fled like usual but he failed.

"Omma! Omma! Omma!!!"

"Jaejoongie!! Jaejoongie!"Both of them try to reached out but Kibum moves quickly and push Jae inside the car. The door was child lock, so Jaejoong cannot get out.

"Omma! Omma!" Jae scream and knocked the glassdoor a lot of time.

The black Mercedes roamed down from Jaejoong's house. Mrs. Kim send her boy with tears.
It is a fate. A dark fate that cannot be avoided.

5. Jae with Min

Yunho send Seul Gi back to her classroom. The girls quickly got up and stand at the class door. They were whispering and smiling at him all the time. Seul Gi's friends were so anticipated to know if Prince Yun was proposing her as much as she boast.

Last week Seul Gi told them that Prince Yun want to marry her and asked her opinion. The girlfriends wonder what is going to happen next.

"Bye, Seul Gi." Yunho bid farewell and walk away.
"Bye.." she answered.

The girls quickly held Seul Gi's hand as Yunho leave. There was no ring on her finger. But they still not losing hope.

"Did Prince Yun proposed you?" a girl said.

"Aigoo.. I'm so excited to know!!" another girl scream.

"Aishh.. did he kissed you?" a girl next to Seul Gi ask.

"Yaaaah!" Seul Gi screamed and pull back her hand.

The girls were stunned freeze.
"Why are you guys so eager want to know??" She stammered and get herself back to her desk.
"Seul Gi-ya, wae gurae...(whats up).." A girl said softly. She quickly took an exercise book and fan her, hoping that Seul Gi would cool off.

Seul Gi was pretending like she rejected Prince Yun proposal.

"Are you guys crazy? How could I married so early! I'm a big fan of Dong Bang Shin Ki, I can't marry now or else I don't stand a chance!" She was bluffing but the friends really believed her.

"Aigoo.. you really pick Dong Bang Shin Ki over Prince Yun?" Another girl snapped.

"But Dong Bang Shin Ki is not bad, you know.." A girl smiled to Seul Gi idiotically.

"Maybe you're right.. Especially U-know!"

"Dae! Dae! He resembled Prince Yun a lot!!!!!"

"Aishh.." Seul Gi snapped. She turn to her right.

The girls starts gossiping loudly.

"Aigooo!!!" She turn to the left.

But she couldn't help it but to feel angry because Prince Yun is breaking up with her and decided to become a gay.
'A gay?' Seul Gi thought. "Aishh!" She yelled to her girls.

"Go away! Go away! I need some space.." She chased all her friends back to their seats. They were astonished but got their butts back into places.

Seul Gi was really pissed.....

+++++++++++++++++

After the class finished, Jaejoong told YooSu to wait up for him at the school hallway.

"Where are you going, Jae.." Junsu asked.

"I forgot something, so I'm going to get it back." Jaejoong told them, but actually he was lying.

Jaejoong is going to meet Changmin but he is just too lazy to bring YooSu together. 'Anyway this two annoying lovebirds should be left alone together more often..' Jae thoughts and smirk.

"Then, lets go together!" Yoochun proposed.

"Ahh.. ani, gwechana... (It's ok)" JaeJoong paused."A person going there is enough. I'll be quick!" And Jaejoong quickly fled just like usual.

"He sure is FAST!" Junsu blink his eyes a few times.

"Then lets wait for him at the hall. I don't think he'll be long.." Yoochun said and they both walk together.

When Jaejoong reached the corner where he met Changmin this morning, he saw the glittering boy was already there. Changmin was standing tall and looking so smartly waiting for him. The boy is wearing his pink shoe.

"Min!" JaeJoong ran to him quickly.

"Jae!" Changmin greeted.

"Hey, how was it? Did any of the seonsaengnim scold you?" Jaejoong gasped.

"Aniyo! (Nope!)" Changmin shook his head.

"All of them were so nice to me.. and the girls like your shoes.. This shoes make me become popular so suddenly.." Changmin smiles gleefully.

"Gurae seo? (Really?) Wow! Thank God!" Jaejoong sighed. "Yayy!" He jumped around a little.

Changmin just laugh at Jaejoong's attitude. To him, Jae is a interesting person.

"Then, maybe we can go out..?" Changmin simply asked.

"Sure.. But can I have my shoes back?" Jaejoong said.

"Sure!" Changmin quickly exchanged the shoes back with Jae.

"Let's go.." Jae said before he heard something ringing.

It was Changmin's handphone.

Jaejoong just look at him in astonishment. Changmin's was talking to a sleek, luxurious-looking handphone.

"Yeobo seyo? Dae! Ee Teuk? What's up?"Changmin is talking to Lee Teuk, who is his chief assistant. Lee Teuk is also very close to Prince Min as he was been with Min for years, since he was small.

"Prince Min! You have to hurried back to the palace! The Royal Emperor Myungsoo is having a big family meeting now, and he want me to inform you."

"Dae!" Changmin replied.

"And my lord Prince Min..?" Lee Teuk voice toned down.

"Yes?"

"The Lady Yeowang Hae Jung want me to inform you, your father, Royal Emperor Wang Myungsoo is actually sick. That is why he had to do the Royal meeting now."

Changmin's face suddenly grew serious. "Arasseo yo. (I know) I will come back to the palace now." Changmin quickly flip his phone down.

'Palace?' Jaejoong dig his ear a little. Maybe he heard the wrong word. Basically Jae have no idea.
Changmin keep his phone is the pocket. "I'm sorry, Jae.. I think, I can't go with you." He said.
"Something just came up and I need to go back to the palace.. I mean, to my, er, home.. yes, right! Home!" Changmin stumbled panically.

"Oh, it's alright Min! We can go out tomorrow if you like." Jaejoong said.

"Really? Okay! See you tomorrow, Jae."

"Bye, Min!"

Changmin quickly make his moves and run.

"Wow! He is sure FASTER than me..!" Jaejoong whispered.

Suddenly he remembered YooSu who is waiting for him at the hallway.
"God! How could I forgot!~" Jaejoong pat his forehead and immediately run...

4. Jae meets Yun

JaeJoong walk up to the roof top of his school building. He planned to take a little nap up there, in his little secret place.
'YooSu are annoying! Aigoo..' he mumbled, still feel irritated by their previous conversation. So he sit down. He was hiding at one, dark corner and start dozing off.

JaeJoong's eomuni POV at home: "I wonder what that lazy (beondaegi) cocoon is doing.. I hope my boy is learning well at school... la la.." (starts singing and cook)

JaeJoong's POV on the roof:"What a nice weather... zzzzzZZz.." and forgetting the mother's advice..

++++++++

"Seul Gi, come with me.." Prince Yun came and grab Seul Gi's arm before she could say a word. Her friends were smiling and waving at her like idiot.
'Seul Gi, hwaiting!!' They cheered together.

"What the hell..??" Seul Gi sighed. The girls thought something good would happen to Seul Gi today. Afterall, she is Prince Yun's fiancee.

But Prince Yun and Seul Gi were quarrelling softly along the way. Yunho felt bad for forcing her to go with him but he needs to talk to Seul Gi about something. Something important.

"Yun! Where are you dragging me!!" Seul Gi shouts as they reached the roof top.
JaeJoong snapped from his sleep. The girl's voice just woke him up.
'Aishh.. dugu ya? (Who is that) Why can't they leave me in peace..' JaeJoong got up, hide behind the wall and peek.

'Omo!' He gasped.

"Just who did I saw?" JaeJoong whispered. The girl is Seul Gi, the spoilt wangja's fiancee!

JaeJoong knew eavesdropping is bad, but he couldn't help it. He closed his mouth with his hand as he saw the glittering Prince Yun is there as well. He locked his eyes on Prince Yun. JaeJoong couldn't deny his prettiness.

"Yunnie.. Why are you behaving like this..?" Seul Gi said.

"I'm sorry. I'm not marrying you." Yunho answered.

"What? Just because I want to finish my studies first, then you decided to dump me? How could you!!" Seul Gi stomped her foot.

"No, I decide this just a while ago. So I thought I'd let you know." Yunho soft-spokenly replied her.

JaeJoong punched him palm. I knew Prince Yun is a bad person!
'He can't be all goody, isn't he..' JaeJoong thought and continue peeking.

"Can't you wait? Why must we get married now? Last week you told me you want us to be together as soon as possible.." Seul Gi sulking.

"Seul Gi-ya, that was LAST WEEK. Listen, I'm telling you TODAY. Now, I've decided NOT to marry you..." Yunho repeat himself.

"Dae! Dae! Gurae! I know! I was just making sure that you're serious..." Seul Gi yelled. She looked so sad and disappointed."Why, Yun.." She quietly sob.

Yunho looked Seul Gi in her eyes, feeling sad for her too. Yunho sighed and take a step closer to Seul Gi. He had to tell her.

"Because, I'm a gay.."

JaeJoong closed his mouth with both hands. Prince Yun is a GAY???!!! Holy the molly!!!

"Right. Very funny.." Seul Gi roll eyes. She didn't believe him.

"No, it's not funny! I am. Jinja eyo (Really)." Yunho face turn serious.

"You are?" Seul Gi widen her eyes, disbelief.

"Yes..." Yunho nods.

"Since when..." She question.

"Last week? After I said I want to marry you?" Yunho face turned idiotic.

'Does it makes any difference? Sounds to me he is making up excuses to break up with me.. Hmm..' Seul Gi took a moment before she decided.

'Right.. Prince Yun is breaking up with me. He is.'

'"Jerkkkk!!" Seul Gi slapped Yunho right on his face.

"Ouch!" JaeJoong gasped. He did not expect Prince Yun to be gay. He didn't expect a slap will come from Seul Gi either. This is so dramatic! JaeJoong still gasping behind the wall.

"Who is there?" Yunho shout loudly. He thought he heard someone.

Silence. JaeJoong just realized that he was spotted. 'Omo! Prince Yun knew I'm here... I'm so dead...!! I better run..' JaeJoong tried to run away, before he found out Yunho was already behind him.

"You!!" He said. JaeJoong turned around. Yunho was looking deeply into JaeJoong's brown eyes. JaeJoong was drawn into Prince Yun's beautiful eyes. He just freeze there, grinning.
JaeJoong's foot seems stuck on the ground.

"Dugu seyo?" Seul Gi step inside, looking at JaeJoong's guilty face. JaeJoong just grin at Seul Gi and remain silence. His eyes became big, aware of Yunho's gestures. JaeJoong's heart pounds rapidly.

"I... I.. I didn't hear anything... I have iPod in my ears.. So.. Goodbye!" He quickly made his run but Yunho is even faster. He grab JaeJoong's blazer and pull him back.

"You..." He said, staring at JaeJoong.

"Y..yyes?" JaeJoong broke a sweat, knowing that Yunho is going to rip his blazer any minute.

"Don't tell anyone.." Yunho paused and pinched JaeJoong's cheek a little."Or I'll make my bodyguards beat you up until you forgot your own name. You understand me?"

"Dd...dd.. dae! I understand it completely!" JaeJoong trembled and nods.

"Don't play dumb.. Or I'll make you become one.. I hate jokers like you.." Yunho poked JaeJoong's head.

"Yunnie.." Seul Gi sounds worried.

A prince should behave like a prince, not like a gangster! She called Yunho's name again, making him stop.

"Let's go Seul Gi.." Yunho grab Seul Gi's arm and walked away from JaeJoong.

"Praise the wangja.." JaeJoong said and quickly bow to the Prince, eventhough he reluctantly doing it. He just too scared with Yunho. He don't want to get into any trouble.

Yunho walking fast, dragging Seul Gi with him. JaeJoong smirk and put his tongue out as Yunho and Seul Gi disappeared to the staircase.
'What a jerk!! Stupid prince!' He cursed.
'Luckily Seul Gi has slapped you for me!' He smirked again.
'I'll definitely kick you the next time!!' JaeJoong lift his leg up and kick the air.
But boy, he was so scared when Yunho stared him with eagle-eyes.
'What a bad prince! I hate Prince Yun!!' he screamed.

3. YooSu and Jae

The bell ring loudly. Students start to keep their stationeris and books. It's recess time!!

"Junsu, Yoochun.. let's go to the cafe. I'm starving!" JaeJoong said.

"Oh, dae!" Both answered 'okay'.

They went out from the class and bumped into a gorgeous boy. The boy was shimmering from far, also known as Prince Yun. He does not look at anyone and seldom smiles. But still, he is so gorgeous even with grumpy face!

JaeJoong just lock his eyes at Prince Yun while both of his friends are envying the prince.

"That wangja (prince) is so ippeun (pretty), neh.." Yoochun said.

"I'm jealous of him too. How can he look so perfect?" Junsu rubs his chin.

"Geu sarameun wangja-eyo! (He is a prince!)PU-RINS-SEU! He have a different blood.. That's why he shines!" Yoochun replied.

"I wish I can be like him." Junsu is smiling.

"Oh, I wish I'm with him.." Yoochun answered.

'With him?' Junsu gave Yoochun a look.

"Yoochunnie!" Junsu stammered at Yoochun's idea.
'Don't say like that, I'll get jealous..' Junsu mumble as he stared at Yoochun in his eyes.

"Sorry, I was just kidding!" Yoochun cover his mouth and laugh hysterically.
Obviously Yoochun was simply teasing Junsu.

'Bad Yoochun.. So bad!!' Junsu bit his lips, sulking.

'Sorry! Sorry! I'm just kidding!' Yoochun giggled.

"Hajima, you lovebirds.. I'm getting hungry. Can we have our food now?" JaeJoong cuts their conversation.

Yoochun and Junsu gasped at look at each other. "You knew? (about us)..?" Both asked immediately.

"Knew about what?" JaeJoong sigh."Ppalli ka ja (Let's go quickly!).. I'm really starving.." He continued.
So the boys just keep quiet and moves their butts to the cafeteria.
They were sighing and wiping each other sweat drops. They thought JaeJoong didn't know.
Or maybe he did but he wont admit it. JaeJoong just hide his evil smile.

At the cafe, Yoochun and Junsu still talking about the prince. They talked from the first bite of the meal, until the last carrot bit in their noodle.

It's Yun. Yun. Yun.

Of how rich he is.
Of how perfect his eyes were.
Of his 1000watt killersmiles.

'Aish... That Prince Yun is sure popular~' he thought.JaeJoong eats his pudding and smirk.
'Everyone is talking about him..~ Like there's no one else to talk about..~' He smirk again.
'Wait until they meet my friend, the new student. His name is Changmin. I think he is way better than the prince..~' Smirk again.

JaeJoong finished his last bite of the pudding and got up.

"Eh? Where are you going, Jae...?" Junsu and Yoochun look at him.

"To freshen up! Bye!" JaeJoong quickly got up and sneak out from the cafe. He left YooSu behind.

"Oh, he seems pissed?" Yoochun raised a brow.

"I think he hates Prince Yun." Junsu replied.

"Really?" Yoochun whispered near Junsu.

"Hu-uh." Junsu nodded.

"I see.. well.. Back to our topic.. where were we?" Yoochun starts talking and gossiping of more and more of Prince Yun.

Of his great dance skill...
Of his good grades..

It was a neverending story of Prince Yun.

2. Min meets Jae

JaeJoong look up to his watch. It's almost 7:50am.

"Aigoo, omma! I'm going to be late again!" He shouted, biting the last bite of his bread.

"Mwo yah? (What?) Then quickly get your ass to school, you cocoon!! Aishhh..~" His mother gave a hard pat on his back.

JaeJoong yell in pain. He quickly grab his school bag and put on his shoes.
Yes, he put on the shoes without looking. And he start running to school like an idiot.

The dicipline teacher is waiting at the gate. When it's already 8am, he will ask his assistant to lock the gate up and punished the late comers. JaeJoong is fed up of the punishment. He ran as fast as he could so he can be on time.

The teacher is waiting, looking at his watch. JaeJoong run and run, so he manage to get there on time. He walked up straight in front of everyone, showing his chest off and smile proudly. The late comers, as usual. Teacher made them squat down, holding their bag up high on their heads and start duck-walking around the school pavement.

JaeJoong walked happily, passing the teacher's office before he heard a voice.

"Kim Jae Joong...!"

Headmaster Choi suddenly raised up his voice to him. JaeJoong stop walking and turn around.

"Dae, seonsaengnim.." He answered.

"Yah... is it just my eyes or you are wearing a fancy shoes to school?" The headmaster asked, tapping his cane on his hand.

JaeJoong looked down to his foot.

'Ahhh!!!' he nearly let go a huge scream but JaeJoong quickly control it.
He wore his pink-coloured canvass shoes to school, and he didn't realized it until Headmaster Choi point it out.

'Aigoo.. what should I do.. My God, WHAT-HAPPEN-TO-ME! I'm SO stupid!!' He wanted to knock himself so badly.

"Hmm?" Headmaster Choi asked again.

"Hmm..? He.. he.. he.." JaeJoong grinned innocently and move slowly to backward.

"Yah, what are you doing? Are you running away? Come back here, you monkey!!"

JaeJoong didn't wait any longer. He just run away from the headmaster.

"Don't run, you fool!" The headmaster chased him with the cane all around.

"Oh my, I need to go to class! But why did I bump into seonsaengnim?? Aishh, I always have bad luck!! Aishhh.." He mumbled.

The headmaster still chasing and cursing him from behind.JaeJoong panicked. He quickly took a corner in front of him and hide behind a wall.

"Oh!" Changmin was suprised by JaeJoong sudden appearance.

"Oh, joesunghamnida!" JaeJoong apologized quickly and bow.

As he look up, he saw the glittering aura from Changmin's face. Changmin is as hot as Won Bin to him. He never saw anyone like him before. Anyway, he never saw him in school before!

"Are you a new student?" JaeJoong asked politely.

"Dae!" Changmin replied. "I was trying to find my class and I kind of.. lost.." He smiled.

"Aahh.." JaeJoong nodded. So I was right, he is a new guy.

"No wonder I have never seen you before. I wish I could help, but, er, the teacher is chasing me. I need to go.." JaeJoong said and start looking around.

As JaeJoong tried to fled, Changmin heard a sound from far.

"Kim Jae Joong!!! Kim Jae Joong!!! Don't run away!!!"

Changmin thought, it must be the teacher. He quickly grab Jae Joong's arm and pull him close to his body.

"Aishh.. why are you pulling me?" JaeJoong snapped.

He flew into Changmin's arms and fell onto his chest. He heard Changmin's heartbeat was beating up so fast. JaeJoong felt embarrased but he couldn't move.
'What perfume is he wearing too?' JaeJoong started sniffing.

Changmin pull his school blazer a little and hide JaeJoong's face underneath it.

"Shhh... Don't say a word.." Changmin whispered and they hide beneath Changmin's blue blazer.

The headmaster came by and looked around, didn't notice their presence behind the walls and he went away.

"Wow! Thanks! You saved me!" JaeJoong smiled and let go a sigh.

Changmin smile happily, knowing that he did something good today.

"May I know why is the teacher looking for you?" He ask.

"Oh, because of this!" JaeJoong showed his pink shoes to Changmin.

"Oh my Lord, that is so cute!" Changmin gasped.

"Really? Wow! Thanks for the compliment!" JaeJoong laughed softly."Well, I'll be in trouble if I wear this for today." JaeJoong told Changmin.

"Don't you have a proper school shoes?" Changmin asked.

"Well, I have... but I took this one instead of the other. My bad." He confessed.

"Well, you can have mine... if you want.." Changmin showed him his shoes.

JaeJoong just look at Changmin in disbelief.

"Are you SERIOUS??" He laughed.

"Yes, I am. Since I am a new student, I believe I will be 'forgiven'..." Changmin give JaeJoong an evil look (making his eyes uneven in size).

"Right..." JaeJoong sort of get the idea but he still suprised.

"I can just tell them, well, in Bulgaria, we wear pink shoes. I think seonsaengnim will spare me.." Changmin make his eyes smaller, looking slightly convincing than before.

"Alright then... You can have my pink shoes.." JaeJoong quickly took it off and they exchanged shoes.

Changmin smile happily as he wore the shoes. JaeJoong seems happy to get a pair of white school shoes, too.

"Let's change it back after school!" Changmin uttered.

"Right! We meet back here!" JaeJoong agreed.

"I'm Changmin!" Changmin held his hand out.

"JaeJoong! Call me Jae." JaeJoong shakes Changmin's hand and smile gleefully.

Changmin grin and they parted. He look at the pink shoes.

'Omma, I made a new friend just now. His name is Jae and he wears cute pink shoes.' He walked to his class with a killersmile. Finally he is there. Everyone look so anticipated to meet him.

"Class, let teacher introduce you to our new classmate.. Prince Min."

"Hi everybody, I'm ChangMin. Nice to meet you." Everyone applause.

Changmin took a seat at an empty place, and the girls were looking at his pink shoes and starts to adore it...

1. Prince Min

Changmin just keep quiet all morning. He was a bit nervous about his new school. Changmin has been out from the country for 3 years and just came home last week after his father, The Emperor ask him to return back to Korea.

"You don't talk back to me, Min. I command you to come back." Wang MyungSoo stammered on the phone and quickly disconnect the line.

Changmin sigh. He knew why he need to come back.

There is another prince in the palace. And this prince is his brother from different mother. He will be turning 18 years old soon. There will be a major celebration for this prince. He will also be crowned as a Crown Prince. He is Changmin's step-brother.

His name is Yunho.

Today is his first day in Soong Hyun High. Changmin dressed nicely. His blazer and shirt were neat.His copper blond hair was done perfectly. He smiled to his omma before he went out from the palace.

"Omma, hakkyo ga." (I'm going to school.)

"Take care, son. Make a lot of friends, okay?" His mother, Yeongwang Hae Jung said and pat Changmin's head softly.

"Dae." He replied his mum and smiled.

The black, tinted glass luxurious Mercedes glides off from the palace porch and bring Changmin straight to school. The stepbrother supposed to be with him now but he cannot be found by the bodyguards.
Changmin just keep quiet and plugged his ear with his iPod.

'I can't wait to go to school..' he thought.

+++++++++++++++++++

The Mercedes stop immediately in front of the school hallway. Two bodyguards went out and open the door for the prince. A bunch of girls already waited for Prince Yun. They bring gifts, chocolates, and never forget, their cybershot cameras and cameraphone with them.

As soon as the person walks out, the school walkway will turn into a red carpet scenery!
Camera flashes everywhere, flower petals flying into the air.
But it wasn't Prince Yun.

He is as tall as and as handsome as Prince Yun. He is glittering from far. The girls crowd were stunned.
'Dugu seyo?' a girl whisper. (Who is that?)
'Mulla yo..' another girl replied. (Have no idea..)
'I know who he is!! He is the second son of Wang MyungSoo. He is the second prince of Korea!!' Another girl jumped in.

"Prince Min! Did I pronounce your name right?" The girl shouted from far.

"Yae, yae. Majayo. Annyeong haseyo (Yes, yes.. Right.. Hello all..)" He spoke back to her and the crowd suddenly went wild.

Changmin just grinned and asked his bodyguards not to be so rough on the girls as he walked by through the front yard until he entered the building. They were crowding around him and taking his pictures. Changmin smiles gleefully. He wonders if that spoil Yun-hyung experience this everyday.
'Aigoo...~' If he does, then now its my time to shine brighter than you! 'Haha!' He sniggered.
Changmin grin again, killing his dream and the crowd went wild, girls drooling all over the place and screamed.
