SOMEONE'S POV

(The day after Yasmin left the market)

"Yo, Lulu! Where you've been?" Kris suddenly asked me. I just came out of the store and saw his questioning eyes. I looked straight ahead away from him.

"In a place where I couldn't see you." I say as I walked past him. I see him rolling his eyes and snickered quietly.

Xiumin then came and walked by my side so I handed him the strawberries I bought. Kris tagged along but I continue to ignore him and went on with my thoughts.

That strange girl is bugging me. She has this aura where it feels weird already for me. I know she's from around here. I just don't know exactly where.

"Sir Lu, I saw what happened back in the store. Are you curious about her?" Xiumin suddenly asked. He probably must've noticed me deep in thought.

"Why ask about her Xiumin? I heard she's bad news." We stopped on our tracks when Kris spoke up. I look at him confused.

"That girl you bumped into isn't a normal one. She's deadly. My parents told me that the town fire in Moon Kingdom was caused by her. She's the reason why a lot of people died." I became speechless. How can a innocent-looking girl like her could do something like that ?

I can't believe it.

"She was banned from Moon Kingdom and from the entire Fushigi Boshi and was transferred here. She only did 3 incidents here and gladly no one got hurt. But I could tell you that she's dangerous so before you could even meet her, you should avoid her as much as possible."

But why do I feel like I don't want to do that?

YOONA

I'm here at the garden, watering the daisies and roses. Classes has started in RWA so as time passes by, students would spend their time here or would just visit to admire the flowers. They would see me and give me a nod, since they know that I'm the caretaker here, even heard them calling me as Lady Gardener. .

Still, they don't try to make any small talk with me.

The bell has rung, and I could clearly see a lot of students going to the cafeteria. The cafeteria is just a walk away from the garden, and most of the time I could see some look out at where I am and admire. I try to avoid their line of sight since I don't like the fact that I'm being watched.

I was about to clean up and leave when I noticed Princess Jessica coming towards me. I was about to bow but she raised her hand to stop me.

"From now on, act friendly with me Yoona. You don't have to be formal around me." She said with a caring tone.

"But you're a princess."

"And that's not a good reason for you to have to bow before me. Come on, I'm your friend, not your master." She chuckled. I just made a sly smile.

"H-Have you eaten your lunch?" I asked her. She shook her head and gave me a box. I took it slowly and observed it. I looked at her with a confused gaze.

She just gave me a lunch box.

"I'm sure you're the type to not prepare your own food so I made you one. Its just a friendly gift from me and Taeyeon." My eyes widen and I was about to protest when she raised her hand at me. "Hey, treat it as if came from the heavens." She smiled.

"Its fine. I'm sure you're hungry—" A growl was suddenly heard. She giggled at me because my stomach growled right on time. I lowered my head in embarrassment.

"And you don't have to be so formal around me. Just call me Jessica or Sica. I have to go, see you later Yoona!" She waved goodbye to me and left. I'm still not used to this situations.

Because I don't have a choice, I went inside the greenhouse and ate there. A table and a chair is already in there. I don't leave this garden in school time unless its necessary.

Uncle Sam isn't here right now because he had an errand to do with one of his friends.

I was done eating when I noticed a young man coming in the garden. Now that I've thought about it, students in that academy are all Princes and Princesses. So I must not feel weird about that man, wearing a royal cape and, carrying his royal stead.

He seemed to be amused in the garden that he didn't seem to notice me inside the greenhouse. He seems gentle and soft.

My eyes became wide when he suddenly healed a dying flower just across the arch. My feet suddenly carried me out, making him face at me surprised as soon as I opened the door.

"H-How d-did you? That flower was supposed to wither." I mumbled, still my eyes straight at the flower. That kind of flower is hard to heal, a rare yet wild flower to be exact. How on earth did he make it look good again?

"I have the ability to heal things like those miss." He said while smiling. My gaze went to him and I was suprised to see Prince Lay. I bowed at him.

"This is the first time we talked, since 2 years ago." He stated. I just qiuetly nod at him. Prince Lay always visits the garden before classes starts in the afternoon. It became normal for me to see him in but I only bow at him, never talked or said a word to him.

"I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable before." I apologized. He shook his head repeatedly with hand gestures.

"No, not at all. I'm just surprised." He said. We fell in deep silence after that. I slowly walked towards the wild flower he healed and touched it.

I suddenly remembered the past gardener here who introduced me to this flower before he retired. His daughter was the one who planted it so it was special to him. I took care of it but eventually it began to wither slowly.

"Is there something special about that flower?" I looked at Prince Lay when he asked me. I almost made a sad smile but it vanished right after.

"The gardener before me told me that her only daughter planted this. It was special to him so it became special for me too. But eventually, it started to wither months ago. I was supposed to throw it this afternoon when you healed it. I never expected something like that." I told him while touching its petals. As I stood up, I saw him looking at me surprised. "What is it?"

"You're not weird like they said. Actually, we just talked for the first time and I didn't expect you to tell me that long of a story. I wish to know you more, Yasmin." He told me. I just looked at him. I bowed at him and started to transfer the flower pots by controlling them with my hand.

As usual, Prince Lay started to walk around, smiling every time he saw a blooming flower. Of course he'd do that, he's Prince Lay of Nature Kingdom. Silence were upon us but not an awkward one.

The bell rung, signalling that afternoon classes will start. Prince Lay said a goodbye and went out. Because no one is around, I took my phone out and listened to some nice songs. Even though the people here are in the magical side of the Earth, we are still able to listen to their songs. I started to hum softly too.

" I have died everyday waiting for you,
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years,

I'll love you for a thousand more "

This has been my ultimate favorite. I don't know why, probably because I can relate myself to this? I've never even loved someone, other than my mother and Uncle before.

I started to close my eyes, feeling the music. I promised myself to never cry at useless, worthless things so what I did, I just have to feel myself. As if I was flying. Freedom is my only wish every time I have to blow a candle on my birthday. But somehow I'm starting to lose hope in each passing year.

I opened my eyes, just to see a jerk watching me from a tree. I turned off the music and glared at him. Now I, myself, am stupid and embarrassed to let him see this side of me.

"What do you want?" I asked Shawn as soon as he climbed down.

"Tito Sam told me that I have to accompany you to go to the academy's kitchen, to see Sir Karl's son." He said. I sighed a deep sigh. I almost forgot. I have to see Kyungsoo to take the Apple Pie he baked for Uncle. Its obvious he just want to eat one. Why does he need to let poor Kyungsoo bake for him?

Kyungsoo is actually someone I know since I was young. We're close, but I never called him a friend before because I treat him as my older brother. At least he can be trusted, unlike Shawn here.

"Okay, thanks for reminding me but I don't need your help. I can carry it myself." I told him and changed myself. Like taking off my gloves, hat, mask, fixing my hair up, etc.

Before I could even close the gate of the garden, Shawn grabbed the gate and closed it himself. He turned to face me with a smirk.

"He told me that he told Kyungsoo to make him 3 large Apple Pies. For a party he has to attend." I gulped. I tried to cool myself from shouting so mad right now. I raised a hand at him, signalling something.

Shawn became pale and quickly covered his when I can't hold it any longer and screamed,

"WHAT THE HECK?!"

Glasses shattered of course.

Shawn fell down and I know he felt dizzy from my scream. Probably the students heard it too, I can sense their eyes from the windows, trying to see what's going on. I lift up the shattered glasses and clay pots and fixed them in a minute. I'm so cool right?

"I think you need to drink that pill, whatever it is." Shawn slowly said. I shook my head at him.

"No need. I'm used to this." Because at home I can keep myself calm seconds after shouting at Uncle's silliness.

"So, let's go!" I happily exclaimed, which only he can see. Of course he knew my mood swings. We've known each other since I came here. We're cool, we're close. I hate him, he hates me, altogether, a lovely match. Perfect right? He knows my attitude than other people, but Kyungsoo and Uncle know me more.

~~~~~

"Kyungsoo? Kyungsoo?" We already arrived at the academy's cafeteria. It's already 2:00 P.M. so not a single student is out already. Usually, Kyungsoo can be seen at the Snack's Bar, chatting with teachers or helping out the janitor. Why isn't he here now?

"Maybe he's in the Baking Room?" Shawn suggested.

"But the Baking Room is inside the academy! He knows by heart that I don't want to get in there." I told him.

"You can just teleport there somehow."

"But I can't just teleport somewhere where I don't even know where."

"Stop time and sneak in?"

"I have limits. I might time travel."

"So any other choice?"

"No more suggestions?"

"I'm out of ideas."

I sighed. Looks like I have to walk in. The security guards also know me anyway.

"Fine, let's go." I told him and walked ahead of him. I hope no one can recognize me in there. Hope they'll just think of me as the lady gardener.

We were nearing the gate when I felt a hand touching my hand. I looked down at my hand, being hold by Shawn. I gave him a questioning look. He leaned towards me and whispered.

"Just in case someone recognizes you." I gave him a weird look and slapped his hand away. I rolled my eyes when he hissed in pain and quickly walked towards the gate.

I said hello to the guards and they replied back. They already know me because most of the time they always visit the garden for their break time.

We are walking in the halls, noticing that its awfully quiet. Some students noticed us walking but they ignored right away, to my relief.

Shawn is now leading, making me wonder why on earth he knows this place well.

"Been here before?" I asked him.

"Yes, I always deliver the letters from the Princes and Princesses' parents. I'm known here anyway."

We didn't talk after that. I saw a sign with the words 'Baking Room' and smelled a scent from there. It smelled so good.

"Looks like we're on time. I just heard a ting from an oven." Shawn stated. I agreed silently.

"Oh! Yoona-shi, you're here?" Kyungsoo said as soon as he saw me. I think my lips started to drool of how the Apple Pie he is holding right now looks so good.

"Since when you learned how to bake?" Shawn asked him. Kyungsoo starts to place the pie in a pizza box. Looks like this was the last one.

"Since I was 10. My father baked cupcakes so I asked him to teach me. Later I taught myself." He said, now wrapping the boxes and giving it to us. "You're here to help me carry these right? I have to clean up this room anyway, I'll be teaching the juniors soon."

He handed us the pies and starts to clean up. We left right after, not wanting to disturb him. I'm carrying one while he carried two.

"Did Uncle Sam—"

"He will only let us eat this if we give it to him first." I glared at him. He really does know me that much. We started to turn to the left where the halls lead to the gate when I bumped into someone. Gladly it wasn't that much force because I saved the precious pie. The person didn't fall either.

"Cheongseomnida." I apologized as I bowed in embarrassment. By the time I lift my head up, I became dazed and shocked to see the person I bumped into last week here!

"You?!"

"Yasmin?"

"Luhan?"

Oh my gosh!
