Chapter 6: Socializing & Guitar

YOONA

Today is Saturday.

I can't believe that 2 or 3 weeks ago some princesses came to me saying they want to be friends with me, some prince started to annoy me, some man who is helping me a lot for no reason even though he wasn't like this in the past, and some uncle who always let me go to the garden lately and not him.

I'm glad that Uncle gave me a day off today. He's going to manage the garden by himself for now. A lot's been happening and my mind is blown.

I'm now sitting on my bed, reading some books when I felt something cold. I put down my book just to see that my bed is now an ice sculpture. I sighed.

I forgot to mention that its extremely hot today, not to mention its afternoon. I turned on the air conditioner here but I can still feel the heat from my window. I was too into reading to notice that my body started to react on its own and made my bed cold and ice. The air condition is at its highest anyway.

My ice slowly melted as soon as I got off my bed. It melts, also the water dries up directly. I touched my neck just to notice that I don't have my necklace.

My eyes widen in shock and I quickly searched in my drawers. I found it and put it on. I just realized that this necklace prevents me from using too much powers. Uncle told me last night.

The coldness inside my room started to go on its normal temperature, like how you feel if your air condition is on its highest. Mine's awhile ago was a negative degree Celsius. I just don't feel it.

I started to feel hungry so I walked down towards the kitchen.

"How on SMTown you got in here?" I said emotionlessly surprised as soon as I found Shawn in my kitchen eating the pudding Uncle left me.

"I have thpare key. Uncle Tham thent me thith morning." He said while eating and not even looking at me. Rude.

"You could have just knocked."

"I got hungry thuddenly."

"Why eat without my permission?"

"Do I have to?"

"Why were you born stupid?"

"Why was I born handsome and manly?"

I rolled my eyes at him. He actually finished my pudding while talking to me! And he talked with a lisp as always. Because it's my day off today, I lift Shawn from his seat, opened the door, and threw him out as rude as I can.

"Ow! That hurt if you didn't notice!" He complained. And I thought he got used to my attitude towards him. I smiled creepily at him as soon his head went to my direction.

"If only you didn't eat my pudding, I suggest don't enter for a while. After I prepare myself, we can go. You're just here to help you in your errand in RWA right? Then wait." I closed the door after I made my speech. I never spoken that lot of words before.

How I knew he's purpose coming here? I can sometimes see what's coming later. Especially that I have time powers. It sometimes lets me see what might happen later or tomorrow but its not that accurate and seldom.

I angrily washed the plates but careful not to break them and changed myself. I took my black cap as always and went out of the house through teleport.

Shawn just stared at me when I appeared and started to walk. I followed.

"Oh and that's not all," he started to speak "Kyungsoo hyung told me that he wants you to be his assistant for today and tomorrow because he's in charge of a large cooking class students." I stopped walking and lifted my head at him surprised. I didn't see that coming.

He probably sensed that I wasn't walking anymore so he stopped and turned his head towards me.

"What?" He asked.

"So you're bringing me to him this instant?" I asked. To be honest I almost stuttered while asking him that. He faced me completely, obviously wondering why I looked shocked and scared.

"Uh, yeah. What's the matter?" I hold on to my necklace, trying not to scream my reason so I inhaled slowly and looked at him in the eye.

"He. Is. A. Strict. Cooking. Teacher!" I told him. He raised an eyebrow.

"So what?"

"ThatsitHessostricttomewhenitcomestocookingnotthatIdonthaveanyexperiencebutthefactthathemightexplodeifIheardaninstructionwrongandifyouthinkhedoesntdoesthisinyourlifetimethenyouremistaken!HemightmakemebakecupcakesagainandImightburnthekitchenagainandhemightnotletmereadhisfavoritebookwhichcantbefoundjustanywhere!" I blurted out frustratedly, and he only gave me a weird look.

"He told me that if you react like this, it means I forgot to tell you that you will only help him in handling things in his kitchen and a teacher from the academy is asking a favor." He told me quickly. My nervousness turned into wonder.

"Wait, what?"

"You'll see. Its lazy to repeat it again." And walked ahead of me.

~~~~~

"That's all for today class. And remember your project, don't overbake it or it will smell horrible." And the cooking class ended with the ring of the bell. I can't believe Kyungsoo, bringing me here just to help him with his baking. Can't believe he made a 2-storey cake that is.

"So can I go now?" I asked him after I washed the things he used for baking.

"Its still 3 o'clock, why don't you stay here and wait for Miss Margaret? She's the teacher who wants to talk to you." He told me while wiping the tables. I shrugged and mumbled an 'hmm' to him. Even if I'm on day-off I couldn't say no to elder people.

"You seem to change a bit." I was silently watching some Princes playing soccer when he said that to me and I looked at him confusingly.

"Huh?"

"The way you are wearing actually. Sky blue blouse and skinny jeans? You let you hair loose as always but you changed the style how you placed your cap. Tell me, was I too busy too notice things are happening in your life?"

I stared at him and slowly observed myself. I feel something which feels warm. Is this what they call grateful? Is this how people feel when they are being acknowledged? I didn't notice myself smile a small smile.

"Probably, there were things that made my life change I guess." I just answered him that. I quickly continued to stare the princes and princesses below me but I could see in the corner of my eye that Kyungsoo is smiling at me.

"Sorry if I was late." A kind voice spoke up by the door. We directly turned our gazes to the person and a lady around 25 years old with a gray handbag came about.

"No, its fine Miss Margaret. We just ended anyway." Kyungsoo told her. Miss Margaret smiled at him and also to me. I don't know how to respond so I just bowed at her.

"You must be Yasmin right? You look young." Miss Margaret told me as soon as we got out of the room. Kyungsoo went to an another way, leaving me with Miss Margaret walking out. I just stayed quiet when she said that to me.

"Anyways, before I tell you my favor, I have to make an introduction." She told me. I just nod at her.

"In this academy, there is one room which is occupied by the younger kids. Its called the 'Special Class'. Its just at the side of the cafeteria. Young princes and princesses go there to study little facts about the real Earth. Only the kingdoms in planets Natural, Morals, and Orchestra highnesses study there because most planets just teach them by their own. So all in all, only 21 royalties. The age gap between the children is 4 years, starting by the age of 5.

What I'm asking is that since you're the gardener in that garden, I want to know if its fine to take my last lesson there and you or your uncle will teach them about Flower language and meanings." She said while looking at me. I stopped my tracks right after she mentioned 'teach'. I stare at her surprise.

'Doesn't she know me?' This question appeared inside my head since Kyungsoo left. Whenever I look at her, she doesn't seem to feel the tension between us.

As if I was a normal person in her eyes.

"Are you new here?" I asked her. She seemed to be surprised at my sudden question but nonetheless answered me.

"Yes. Since the start of this semester. The teacher in that class just retired."

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from Music Kingdom in the Planet of Orchestra. Just a resident there. Why?"

"Nothing." I don't want her to know that the person in front of her contains inhuman powers which are natural and supernatural. She might avoid me. As long as I have my necklace, maybe she won't feel my powers.

"I already asked your uncle a while ago. He said that you know much more about the flowers than him." She stated. Well, here goes nothing.

"When is that?" I asked her.

"I've decided that I'll start by Monday. So its fine?" I nodded at her. She then gave me a big smile and said goodbye. I continued to walk, thoughts inside my head.

I immediately stopped though when I suddenly realized something. I slowly looked around the area as my nervousness starts to rise.

I'm freaking lost.

Dang you Yoona! You on earth didn't notice that the exit was just 10 steps away from you, and you took left. If only I walked together with Miss Margaret, I'm out of this academy.

I started to jog, trying to control my speed and started to look at my surroundings. I'm inside a hall (obviously) with a lot of classrooms. Maybe I'm at the west wing(?) of this school. The view where I'm at can see the field outside.

HOW ON SMTOWN DID I GET HERE ANYWAY?!?!?!?

If only I wasn't shy I could have went out with Miss Margaret and walked home. If only I memorized this academy I could just teleport back at the exit. If only Kyungsoo didn't left me and walked with us I'm maybe now on my bed, listening to music or taking a nice—

I found myself in front of a room. This is the last room in this hall. Was I that fast to not notice? I looked at the label at the door. I'm in front of the senior's Music Room.

Its a bit open. It wouldn't hurt to just take a sneak peak right? So I did. And what I found inside amazed me.

Its a spacious room so I'm thinking this is where the Academy Choir practices. There's also a lot of instruments being displayed.

My body started to move on its own and I started to roam around. There are plenty of instruments here. There's a piano, a keyboard, a violin, drums, bongos, and trumpets. My eyes suddenly gazed at one string instrument.

A guitar.

Memories suddenly came in my mind like a train. I still remembered the time I was 7 years old when I accidentally teleported in Uncle Sam's attic. I didn't know that he had one that time. Surprisingly Mom taught me how to play it. She also taught me the piano and violin.

I stopped playing them a year after her death. I realized that if I continue to play them, I might cry streams of rivers because of the sad notes flying around.

Unexpectedly my hands reached the guitar and before I know it, I started to strum. I looked around to check if someone or anyone will be there, gladly no one is. I quietly started to strum and sing.

"Today  was a fairytale
you were the prince,
I used to be a damsel in distress 
You took me by the hand
and you picked me up on six
Today was a fairytale"

I just heard of this song a month ago. Nothing personal about it. Probably little-minded girls do.

I continued to strum as if no one is there. For now, I'm alone. And no one can stop me.

"Today was a fairytale"

I sang the last line with grace. Its been a long time since I touched a guitar. I didn't know I'm still this good. How about the others?

I was about to go play the piano when I heard clapping.

Crap! Someone saw me.

I quickly went towards the window to jump out when that person spoke.

"No, don't! I won't hurt you! I'm just curious about you."

I look at the person who is now walking towards me. I almost scoffed.

Why on SMTown is Prince Luhan here on a Saturday?
