Hyun Soo woke up at her alarm's ring. It was already 7:30 am now. she got up and rushed towards the bathroom which was on the left of the room opposite to hers.
She was brushing her teeth while the door of the bathroom was still open. she was almost done when Do Yun arrived there.
"Ms Hyun Soo." He said.
Hyun Soo got startled as she had completely forgotten about yesterday's dinner.
she looked at her self in the mirror placed in front of her just above the washbasin and she knew that she was looking awfully bad. And to cover her face with something before giving Do Yun any chance to see her she quickly opened the tap of her washbasin and washed her face abruptly for a thrice.
Do-Yun stood there wondering about what on earth Hyun Soo was doing except for answering him? He looked at the silly action of Hyun Soo as she finally stood upright and dried her face a bit with a towel and then hung it on her shoulder.
"Yes, Mr Do Yun!" She said being a bit loud as she was nervous.
"Umm, you're alright? Or did I scare you?" Do Yun found it necessary to ask her this question first after encountering her actions.
"N-No, I'm fine, why?' She said as she looked at him with her widened eyes.
"Nothing ju- let it be. I wanted to say that I'll leave now."
"Leave?! Where?!" Hyun Soo quickly just to overcome the awkwardness she was feeling deep inside.
"Umm..for the cafe." Do Yun replied with a but furrowed eyebrows and pointed his thumb towards the exit door of the house as he wasn't sure why Hyun Soo was behaving so strange today.
"Ah! Yeah, let me escort you out then." Hyun Soo said and started walking towards the main door.
She had walked some steps only when Do Yun said,
"Ms Hyun Soo!" Hyun Soo turned around slowly and saw him walking towards her. His black eyes were shining and his heart-shaped pink lips were formed into a small smile which could be seen if someone observed it deeply.
What happened now? Is he going to stop me from going out with him? But what's with those expressions and that smile? What is he going to do?
Do Yun walked towards her and stopped just in front of her. He bent a little and his hand moved forward towards her shoulder, he was continuously looking in the eyes of Hyun Soo while she was unable to tear her gaze apart, once again.
What is he doing? Is he going to k-kiss me? She thought and her eyes went wide. Do Yun put his hand on her shoulder and after some seconds Hyun Soo's face got covered and everything went black.
Hyun Soo stepped back a little and soon she realised that he was lightly wiping up the water from her face. He wiped her face and kept the towel back on her shoulder to stand upright. And then he said,
"You don't need to go."
And he walked out of her apartment as soon as he wore his shoes.
What was that? Did he just now wipe my face? But why was he smiling then? Why did his face have those expressions? What happened to him since last night? What happened last night?
Making Hyun Soo dumbstruck Do Yun went out with a bright smile. He was feeling quite delighted, after a long time he had this feeling in his heart.
He let a deep breath as he walked towards the bus stop. He stood there at the stand and again the thought of last night flashed in his eyes. He didn't know when last night he stopped the time just to looked at Hyun Soo as long as he wanted. He knew that he is still not aware of how to redo his action but still he took a risk and took a step forward.
He looked at her for almost a minute which was enough, he loved it how she was bare face but still looking pretty. Her black eyes glittered and that tiny smile which was present on her lips at moment made Do Yun wonder about since when he started to admire someone so much. In his whole life, he has admired only one woman and that was his mom and any other woman gave him no special vibe. But this girl...she made him feel different she gave different vibes from others. A vibe which didn't let him step away from her.
Thinking all this he looked at his left from where he had come just a few minutes ago and he could see someone walking towards the bus stop from the fog.
As that person came closer towards him he realised who it was. It was Hyun Soo wearing a checkered porpoise coloured high-rise skirt and a snow-white coloured collared shirt accompanied with black long boots and a black long coat. Her hair was untied and slow wind made it dance on her shoulder.
Do Yun frowned a bit not knowing why she followed him here when he said that she doesn't need to? She stood beside him and smiled at him before looking in front.
"Wh-why are you here?" Do Yun asked being confused.
"Don't worry." She said.
"I'm not here to escort you, I'm going at my part-time job." She said in a sing-song way and danced a bit along with it standing in the same position.
She kept looking for the bus while Do Yun looked at her and chuckled silently as he averted his gaze.

"Did you find any information on him?" Han Gyeol asked as he walked out from the lift into the lobby of the hotel buttoning his black long coat.
"No, master. I asked from the shops near that cafe but no one knows about his whereabouts or where he lives. They say it has been eight years since he has been working at the cafe." Min Jong replied as he tried matching with the pace of Han Gyeol.
"But master...why are we researching him instead of finding the prince." He asked.
"I just want to know why was he protecting that girl yesterday." He said as he clenched his teeth.
He was able to bear yesterdays insult of him. It stung in his heart that he wasn't able to do anything to that mere human of this world who butted in between his almost executed plan. He clenched his fist as he remembered yesterdays conversation at the cafe.
"I won't spare him." he gritted his teeth while speaking when suddenly Min Jong said again.
"But master..."
"I got this one information that found a bit weird."
"What?" Han Gyeol asked.
Till now they had exited the hotel and sat in a cab.
"One of the residents told me that a few days ago a huge fight took place in the narrow lobby just beside the cafe. In the morning people saw four to five youngsters laying on the floor all suffering from brutal injuries and hypothermia. They said no one knows who beat them so brutally."
"And you're telling this now?!" Han Gyeol yelled at him.
"Where are those boys now?"
"In the hospital in that area somewhere."
"Take me there." He ordered and the cab driver was informed.

Here the mother queen could see that danger will soon approach Do Yun after his action yesterday and it tensed her. She was sitting outside her huge bungalow in the lawn looking at the trees and thinking about the future when someone butted in between.
"I heard you are finding me, mother queen?" A sweet voice made her turn around and she saw a slim tall and fair coloured girl standing in front of her.
A smile spread on her lips as she welcomed her,
"Princess! How have you been?..."
