YOONA

"What do you mean you'll go?! You can't just leave me alone here!!" I shouted at Uncle right after he said that he'll take some 'vacation' on some place on Earth called, what was that again?

Oh, Korea!!!

"Tourist Guides state that they have the most amazing river there! I'll just go and check there. Its just a 5-day-trip Yoona. Don't over react—"

"BUT YOU'RE FREAKING LEAVING ME WITH SHAWN!!!!!!!!!" I shouted at him, not minding the fire on my hair and hands and mat (I'm standing on a floor mat).

"Don't you worry sir. I'll take good care of Yoona while you're gone. I'm sure everything will be alright." Shawn told him, not minding me. Aren't they supposed to be scared now?! I'm in a verge of burning this house!!

"Great! So see you next week gals!" And he left.

He. Freaking. Left.

I then felt water being splashed from behind me, making the fire on my body disappear but slowly turns to ice. I turned my head behind me, just to see Shawn holding a pail and looking at me like I'm an insect. I can be an insect if he just knew that!

"One, don't shout, protest, talk, and move while I'm speaking." He said when my mouth was now open. I closed them and just glared towards him. He still has this thing with his voice that makes a person directly follows his orders, even me! "Two, I'm only staying here, not sleeping here. I don't want to die early." I then glared at him more, making the ice melt fast and changed into gusts of wind. "Three, don't destroy the house with your over-powerfic-powers for now. I know you know Sir Sam will get twice as mad as you are now." I almost made a hurricane when I frustratedly slowed down the wind like he said. He's right anyway. "And lastly, I'm not the one who will always be with you for the week because of my 'duties'. Princesses Jessica and Taeyeon will be with you too. And probably that selfish-head Prince and Luhan hyung."

"You can't call Kai a selfish head Shawn, he's a prince. Show some respect." I told him. He just shrug it off and started to return the pail from the bathroom. How did he got that anyway? I noticed my whole body already on its normal state and normal body temperature so I decided to take a shower and prepare for my gardening.

I just took a step on the stairs when I realized what Shawn said. "—and Luhan hyung."

"Prince Luhan too?" I asked him. He raised his head at me and nodded. He then continued watching tv. I just didn't mind it and went on my way.

We are now biking towards the garden. We were a bit late as soon as we arrived because there were some students in the garden. But nevertheless the students also did exit out when they saw me. Probably because they recognized me. I just didn't mind them and continued to walk towards the greenhouse.

I noticed Shawn now going out the garden. He did told me a while ago that he will be visiting a teacher. I thought that I will be the only one sweeping this time since the plants look good still but 2 particular girls went near me.

"Yoona!" Jessica exclaimed, as soon as she got near me. I just smiled a small smile at them but I know they saw it.

"Aren't you going yet to your classes?" I asked them. "The other princes and princesses are now walking towards the academy." I told them.

"We will, we just stop by to see you. Nothing misfortunes happened today right?" Taeyeon asked me. I slowly touched the back of my neck as soon as my mind suddenly remembered the morning scene.

"Maybe?" They just chuckled at my answer. They then waved a good bye at me and went on their way. I checked my wrist watch and saw that its almost 7, indicating that the classes there will start in just 10 minutes. I can't believe they have to come by here when they knew they'll be late. Maybe they just wanted to do that.

"Hurry up Baekhyun!! We're going to be late!" I continued to sweep when a boy's hurrying voice caught my ear and my head jerked to their direction. Two late students, princes to be in fact, are now running towards the academy. I just sighed helplessly at them and continued to sweep.

"Good morning Miss Yasmin!" I cringed when I heard that. This always have been my daily routine actually every early morning, seeing Prince Baekhyun and Prince Chanyeol running so that they won't get late, never failed to greet me even though they're running, and me watching them with a big sigh. They didn't know that I'm actually maybe almost the same age with them.

I just watched them until they got in and continued to sweep the area. There are some stuff I need to do this afternoon, which includes Miss Margaret's last class about flower language.

I'm not nervous about that actually, cause I'm confident enough to teach them my knowledge. Its that just a particular someone might show up, that's what I worry about. He always show up in random and unexpected times.

~~~~~

"Thanks Jessica." I said as she helped me in arranging the tools for gardening. After that I washed my hands and took my lunch. Jessica and Taeyeon-unnie joined me in eating.

For some reason Taeyeon really wants me to call her unnie. Even though we're maybe a year apart she wants me call her that. She won't stop nagging so I gave in.

"By the way Yoona," Taeyeon unnie started to talk. "I was walking towards here awhile ago when I bumped to a boy who seemed to be in a rush. He was in a hurry that he dropped this." Then she gave me a picture of a lady holding a baby in a fascinating dress and is with three people. I'm assuming that the man at her left is her husband based on his expression and the next two people at her right are her parents.

I hear Taeyeon unnie and Jessica talk about some things probably about the person who dropped this but my focus was on the lady holding a baby. She looks so much like...

"Mother." I stated softly but I'm sure Jessica and Taeyeon unnie heard me. They were a bit surprised at my sudden words but their eyes suddenly show shockness.

"What do you mean Mother, Yoona?" Unnie asked me. I slowly point to the lady, which made them both surprised. I look at them confusingly.

"Why are your reactions like that?" I asked them.

"Have you ever met your grandparents before Yoona?" Jessica asked me. I shook my head.

"Mother never mention them. Whenever I ask her, she'll space out and say that they're somewhere far. I don't usually bring that in mi-"

"Taeyeon unnie!!!"

"Jessica unnie!!!"

I was cut off by the sudden calls. I turn to the gate of the garden, just to see Princesses Hyoyeon and Yuri waving.

"Hyoyeon! How many times did I told you never interrupt a conversation?!" Jessica said, almost screamed. Princess Hyoyeon just pout at her.

"But didn't you said to us that we'll meet up in here?" She asked. Jessica just sighed and nudged Taeyeon unnie by the shoulder. Taeyeon unnie just sighed.

"Right, sorry about that. By the way, this is Yasmin." Taeyeon introduced me to them and I bowed at them kindly. They courtised afterwards.

"Hi Yasmin!" They both said. I almost forgot they are sisters. I nod my head at them and started to walk directly towards the green house.

"Won't you join us?" I hear Princess Yuri ask me. I just shook my head and closed the door. I grabbed a stool and sat on it. I suddenly stared in space for who knows when.

Its because the memories of Mother suddenly appeared on my mind since I saw her on the picture. Not to mention I accidentally brought it with me. I remembered a scene on my 8th birthday, when I first met Uncle Sam and Shawn, and how I acted back then.

FLASHBACK

"Happy birthday Yoona!" Mommy said as she gives me her own baked cake. I clasped my hands excitedly, waiting for her to cut a piece for me. I couldn't wait actually so I tried to get the cake from her hands but she lifted it higher, making me pout.

"Wait, you have to blow the candle first and make your wish. Like I always say to you," we said it together

"Wishes come true, through patience and happiness."

"Dear Cassey, its been awhile." A sudden voice came about, which frightened me and I hid behind mommy. She places her hand on top of me.

"Sam, don't frighten my daughter. She's not ready for surprises." I hear mommy tell the man. I wonder why mommy is talking to him. What if he came here to take mommy away from me? I started to cry behind mommy's shirt. She starts to pat my head.

"Now look at what you've done." Mommy puts down the cake and carried me on her arms. "Shush now, Yoongie. Mommy is here. The man here won't hurt us so don't cry. Baby Yoongie, stip crying now. Shuush."

My eyes suddenly found a teddy bear. I instantly stopped crying and stretched my hands towards the bear.

"Teddy!" I said. Mommy suddenly looks at where I found the teddy bear, and its on the hands of a little boy. I tried to get off mommy, which she let me, and ran towards the bear. But the boy won't hand it to me.

"Bear!" I shout at him. He just look at me angrily and held it tighter.

"Rodger is mine!" He shouted back. I still want the bear so I still tried to get it from him. He also tried to pull it away from me.

"Bearie is mine!"

"No! Rodger hates girls!"

"Teddy loves me!"

"Rodger is hurting! Don't hurt him!"

We kept on fighting over the bear not until a cake was in front of me. I let go of the bear, took the cake and happily went to the table to eat it.

"And that's how you make a Roberts daughter happy." I hear mommy say but I don't care. As long as there's cake, my life is happy! I continued to eat when I notice the boy from awhile ago walking towards me. I dropped my spoon and look at him.

He hands me the teddy bear. A smile went on my face.

"For me?" I ask him. He nodded. I happily get it and hugged it. "Thank you!"

"You're welcome." He replied. He stretched out his hand.

"I'm Shawn. What's your name?"

"Yoona."

THIRD PERSON POV

"Are you sure that that's her mother?" Princess Jessica said as she point at the lasy in the picture. The two young princesses got it from Yoona awhile ago and started to discuss about it on their dorm room.

"They do have the same features, but that's almost impossible! How did Queen Cassandra became her mother?" Princess Taeyeon asks Princess Jessica, who obviously has no idea either.

"Queen Cassandra and the whole Carnation Kingdom suddenly disappeared right? But that was 18 years ago! Do you even think that it still exist?" Princess Jessica stated as she touches her forehead. "Man, we're talking about History, worst subject ever."

"Do you think," Princess Taeyeon looks at Princesse Jessica as the latter looks at her confused.

"Yoona is," Princess Jessica's attention suddenly appeared as she waits for Princess Taeyeon's words but,

"Nah, maybe its just my imagination." Princess Jessica looks at her roommate angrily slumping her tired body on her body. 'And I thought you're going to say something interesting.' Says she as she falls asleep.

But there was actually something which bothered Princess Taeyeon. She looks again at the picture but this time, she looked at the tiny necklace which was around Queen Cassandra's neck.

'It can be possible. The proof is already here. All I need is to find that boy and ask him about this.' She reminded herself as she placed the picture on the study table and climbed her bed.

'If what I'm thinking is true, then I have to pray for the perfect timing'
