YOONGI POV

"Younha? Younha!" That voice startled me awake when I heard footsteps.

I jolted my head up to see a blurred figure of man, carrying one of those fancy umbrellas that the nobles use during festivals.

As my eyes started to adjust into what I was seeing, I saw a man in a floral hanbok, a belt that showed his small waist and boots fit for those knights.

He had a sword armed in his side and he ran in the rain, sheltering himself with the umbrella.

I shook Younha off my shoulder and she jostled awake upon that, she rubbed her eyes and looked at the figure approaching us.

And when he stopped infront of us, my eyes widened.

Sir Kim Taehyung.

I stood up straight and bowed at the knight, in which he nodded back.

"I was about to draw my sword towards you, thinking you were a kidnapper!" Taehyung chuckled, patting my back in a kind but harsh manner.

Bitch, if you weren't some rich kid I would've broken your spine.

"No Taetae, he helped me from those mean guys," Younha replied as she walked towards him.

"Wait... he didn't hurt you? If he didn't bow he would've had his head on the ground by a second!" Taehyung exclaimed and I twisted my mouth secretly.

And Taetae? Why is Younha not bowing towards him? What does she know of upperclass people? Is she really that carefree that she wouldn't bow infront of a noble?

"He didn't, he helped me Taetae," she replied and Taehyung shared the umbrella with her.

"Thank God you're safe, your father has been looking for you everywhere! You're gonna miss your classes," he said and grabbed her wrist while walking towards me.

"I appreciate your help," he said briefly.

As they both turned their backs from me, Younha shared a silent wave to me, and I only gulped.

That's it? No 'thank you'?

I furrowed my brows and tsked before turning my heel, taking my arm out to feel some wet drops on my hand, only to see that there aren't.

The rain finally stopped.

Then, I ran.

YOUNHA POV

"Jungkook will be telling dad again," I groan, my shoulders slumping.

"Now don't be so sad, if you go to class for once, you won't get a scolding," Taehyung replied, his arm wrapped around my shoulder.

"And what do you know about that? Its hard being a princess who get nagged. I'd rather be one of your hwarang buddies," I roll my eyes at him and he chuckles.

"Hey, being a hwarang is hard too, okay?" He laughs and I side-eye him.

"We need a strong queen for this kingdom. And a strong queen needs a strong king, am I right?" He wriggled his brows at me.

"If you're planning on being king, I'm offering you my two brothers. Just choose between Yohan and Jungkook," I reply and he shrugs, his face scrunching.

"I'm straight and besides, King Jeon likes me," he says.

"Yeah, he likes the idea of you," I shot back.

"Shoulders in, back straight. How many times do I have to tell you?" The lady says and crosses her arms.

"Do I really have to?" I ask in annoyance, my fingers grasping on a scroll instead of a straw basket.

"Listen your highness, the king ordered me to teach you etiquettes and high-class lessons since you may be the next queen instead of Jungkook," the instructor deadpanned, leaving a question mark on my face.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"It means that you may rule this kingdom. And Jungkook can rule another kingdom. It hasn't been decided by the king himself since Jungkook would most likely be king. Yes, he's older but you must know that the king is picky about his successor," she explains.

Ms. Lee Jieun, a very prim lady indeed. She's this 30-year old woman who looks stunning and beautiful and she somehow ages backwards.

She has been training both me and Yohan. She always stresses about Jungkook, the damn boy doesn't listen to anyone except his father.

"Now Your Highness, sit straight and don't slump your shoulders, after this I'll be teaching Yohan liberal arts," she says nonchalantly as she gestures to a small board.

"Now repeat after my accent," she says and I nod, making sure not to fall asleep.
