Chapter 18: Suspicious & Mark Tuan
YOONA
"What book are you holding?" Princess Seohyun asked me, which made me come back to my senses and made me close the book.
"H-Ha? This? Oh, a Spell Book, your highness." I answered her, almost stuttering. She looks at me in wonder. I secretly gulped.
"Okay, what were you doing with that?"
"To make this field, your highness. Prince Lay told me that you'll be using this field a few days from now for your P.E."
"Oh that? Now I see why he got that from me in the first place." She casually said while playing her pen.
"You're the owner of this book, your highness?" I asked her while pointing the book. She shooked her head and gently get the book from me.
"I just borrowed it from the library because I saw searching for a spell that can make mammal's stamina rise fast. Sadly, it took me a long time to find it because the spell was located at the far end." She then opened the book from the back. My eyes were wide open because I thought she's going to the dark spells section but...
"There! Zoom Attack Spell, this spell can zoom in your stamina to a great level. But you can use it only when needed. And if only I had a wand. Sigh~" she said while pointing at the spell she found. I look at it closely. She then started to flip the pages until we came to the credits section. She then closed the book afterwards.
Wait, how come she didn't see the dark spells?
"Aren't there more?" I asked her which confused her.
"What more?"
"More spells that are in a difficulty level?"
"Those spells? You can only find that in the principal's office since that book is highly confidential." She explained but she didn't get my point!
"I mean, the spells in this book!" I gently grabbed the book from her and opened it by the back but just like awhile ago, only the credits can be found. Where is the Dark Spells section? "It was just....."
"What was?"
"Nothing, please forget what I said. Maybe I was just hallucinating." She looks at me in doubt but decided to shrug it off. I sighed in relief after that. Besides, she's known as the most curious princess in this academy.
"Noona!!" We turn our attention towards a young man running towards us. He suddenly stopped his pace when his eyes landed on me. Or was it just me?
"Ya, Mark! Come here! You're not even a meter near yet!" He seems like he got no choice but to run towards us. He then handed some scrolls to her. "Thanks Mark, you asked permission from Suho right?" He nodded. "Good! Oh by the way, Miss Yasmin." I look at her and she decided to introduce us to each other.
"Miss Yasmin, this is Mark, my cousin. Mark, Miss Yasmin, our friendly gardener here. " I look towards Mark and offered him for a handshake. But as I felt his hand, its so cold. Is he nervous?
"Yasmin Roberts, nice to meet you." I said.
"M-Mark Tuan, miss." He replied. I almost got confused upon why he's last name was Tuan but I remembered that Princess Seohyun's mother has a sister who married to someone who is a Tuan, a family of elites.
"Noona, I was told by Sir Luhan to call you." He said, making me dart my look to her. Luhan? She got up and dust up her skirt.
"Oh that? Right, we're going out. Please accompany Miss Yasmin towards the garden Mark, I'll just go to him." She instructed him and she turns to me. "See you some time Miss Yasmin, I'll just go to Luhan to help him in something." She then waved goodbye to me and left us.
"So M-Miss Yasmin, may I ask something?" Mark suddenly blurted out as we get in the garden. I nod at him to continue. "Um, are you interested in creating music?" I look at him in wonder.
"What makes you say that?" I asked him. He then took something from his pocket and gave it to me. I look at it and its a folded letter.
"If ever you are, this letter holds an address towards a Music Department. Someone I know from their needs a singer or a guitarist. If you'll agree to this, just come in there." He stated.
"What makes you think I can play the guitar and can sing? Why not those other people like Prince Lay who can play not just the guitar but a piano? What about Taeyeon unnie who has a wonderful voice? Why me?" I bamboarded him with questions. Strategy? To make him change his mind and choose someone else. I'm not close to this person in the first place so why would he suddenly tell me this?
He just straightened his back and answered me, "The person I told you who knows me there? When their boss said that they still need one more person to complete their set, she thought of you first." A she? "She probably saw you playing it and I'm just giving you an offer. Please think about it?" He was about to walk away when I spoke up.
"What will happen if I go there?"
"You'll get paid. They perform at a karaoke bar nearby which also has a stage. Anything else?" I just shook my head and bowed down at him. He nod at me then went out.
'Today was unusual.' I thought. Since I'm done putting up a field, I decided to take a rest. So I placed my earphones and listen to some music. I didn't notice myself drown in it and fell asleep.

"Yoona? Yoona come here," I happily went near mother and sat on her lap. She then started to hold my sides and played with me. I happily clap my hands. We're at father's garden, having a picnic. Mother then put me down and stroked my hair.
"Look! Daddy is here!" She then point at someone who is walking towards us, with a basket on his hands. I stood up from the carpet and ran towards him, trying to get the basket off of him. He raised them higher.
"Oh no, sweetie. Not yet, we still need to go to your mother so we could eat them!" He said so I immediately get his hand and tried to drag him towards our picnic area. I saw my mother giggle in delight.
"My, Yoona is too enthusiastic! Daddy's getting old." He laughed as I successfully got the basket from him and ran towards mother.
"Mama, mama!! I food get Daddy!! Eat now please?" I ask her with a big smile on my face. She smiled at me and ruffled my hair. I pouted at her action.
"Not yet, Yoona. We're waiting for your cousin to come here." As she said that, we heard a shout from behind us. As we turn to look, I happily leap towards oppa.
"Oppa, oppa!!" Oppa then grabbed my hand and together we walked towards the picnic area. His mother then greeted mother by hugging, so does our fathers. Before I could even go near them, oppa pulled me towards someone mysterious.
"Oppa, who that?" I asked him as I suck on my thumb. He then placed my hand to the person's hand.
"Yoona, this is my best friend. I call him Han. He is just your age." Oppa said. I just stare at this 'Han' then ran to oppa's back.
"He's scary~!" I exclaimed. Oppa just laugh at me.
"Han, you're scary. Haha!" Oppa told him but Han just hit him.
"Not funny Zhang-ge!" Han said.
"Don't hurt oppa!" I said as I protect him with my arms. Han just chuckled at my reaction.
"I don't hurt him. Let's be friends? I have lollipop!" He said and gave me a lollipop. I happily took it, its grape flavored!
"Thank you Hannie!" I said as I hug him. He was taken aback.
"Woah, she likes you." Oppa told him then he just hit him.
"Kids! Time to eat!" I hear father say. I swiftly ran towards them.
While we eat, Han suddenly ask. "Sir, can I ask something?"
"Of course, what is it?" My father replied. I was just taking a bite on my cake when Han asks his question.
"Can I marry Yoona when I grow up? I like her." I blush at him. My father and mother just chuckled, so did tita and tito.
"If our Yoona will agree to that, do you, Yonna?" Mother asked. I just kept on chewing on my cake.
"What is marry, mother?" I asked, making them laugh. I tilt my head at them, wondering why they are laughing. Suddenly Han stood up and sat beside me and hugged me.
"I will marry you when I grow up Yoona, just wait." I then hear mother and tita squeal, while father and tito just touched their heads. Oppa just patted my head. I then look at Han as he kiss my forehead.
I just shrug then stated, "Okay, if that what Han wants." And continued munching my cake.
"I'll really wait for that." I hear tito said as we continue to eat.

"Yoona, wake up!" My eyes suddenly opened as soon as I hear a slam on the table. Startled, I look at the person who just slammed the table near my face. I controlled my anger by forming fists near my face then glared at her. Jessica just laugh it all off.
"Had a nice dream, Yoona?" Taeyeon unnie asked me. Come to think of it, what did I just dreamt? "Tell us details!"
"I dunno, all I remember was someone hugging me while I was eating, maybe a cake? I forgot, I got startled." I stated. They just chuckled at my expression then calmed down. We then started to talk a few more topics until someone opened the gate, making us dart towards it.
"Uncle Sam, wha-"
"When will you tell me that you already have a suitor?" He suddenly asked me while showing a bouquet of pink roses on his hands. Taeyeon unnie and Jessica looked at me in surprise, even I was surprised.
"Uncle, I swear I don't have a suitor." I told him while doing arm gestures.
"Well that explains it." His lips made a thin line as he give me the bouquet. I look at him in curiosity but I then noticed a small note in it. I place the bouquet on the table and read the note. My eyebrows furrowed.
For you, my princess ^_^
-Your Soon-to-be Prince <3
Who on SMTown is this? And what the—
