Ryujin's POV

It's already December, meaning, it's almost Christmas, and New Year! To add, tomorrow is my Sister's Birthday! I can already see, how happy she is and I can also, see how many gifts, she'll receive, she always receives two thousand, gifts, no more and no less.

What can I say? She's super popular. Especially to Boys, they always want to Court her, but, I always say, they'll have to get through me first, before they'll get my Sister's hand, for marriage.

Actually, were already eating breakfast, and It's abnormally, quiet. I looked at Mel, and she also looked at me, with a worried expression. I decided to break the atmosphere. But, when I did, the Royal messenger came.

If, you guys want to know what the Royal Messenger, does. It's simple; they carry out the important and royal messages and letters. Unlike mine, and my Pen Pal, those messages and letters, are so valuable, that if you lose one of them, you'll either end up in the prison, or dead.

The Royal messenger said, and bowed down.

Father said, while having a hand gesture that tells you to give it to him.

Father said, while opening, the letter.

He was now, reading the letter, while me and my sister, are just continuing to eat, as if nothing is happening right now. And continuing as if nothing is happening is now a rule here, and other royal families.

I was eating, and I was almost done, when I heard a sound, that Father makes, when he is mad. I quickly looked at him, what I saw couldn't prepare me, he was smirking! Right in front of me and my sister.

He said.

I asked him.

He said, while handing me the Invitation.

I took the Invitation, and read it.

Dear: King Shin Yoongi

Or should I say Suga hyung? Anyway, just to tell you, Tzuyu, wants to invite you guys, to a recovery party, for our son, Beomgyu. You guys, have to come, okay? Tzuyu misses Nayeon noona.

P.S. I'M WAY CUTER THAN, NAYEON NOONA!

Signed,

the Most Handsome

and Cutest Bunny

in the World

'Wait, what?' I thought, confused.

I quickly looked at my dad, asking, if he is for real, while he just shrugged his, shoulders.

I looked at the Invitation, once again. 'Maybe, just maybe, I can make friends there?' I thought, and made some other more thoughts.

After, that. I went to finish eating, and Left the room. I was going to my Bedroom, as I was feeling a bit under the weather. I was about to lay down, when I noticed that there was a letter on my desk, I quickly went over my desk and took it, and went back to my Bed and lay down. While opening the envelope, once I opened it, I took out the letter and read it.

Dear: Secret Pen Pal

Hi, it's me! I missed you! I'm sorry for being noisy. I was just dying to tell you this. I'M FINALLY CURED! AFTER TWO YEARS OF SUFFERING I WAS OKAY TO GO OUTSIDE AND TALK TO PEOPLE AGAIN!! I really want to see you, but, I can't do that, until I'm eighteen.

Signed,

Your Secret

Pen Pal

I laughed, at the letter. Because imagining his face while writing this is probably one of the most funniest ones, I told myself, that I'll just write him a letter when, I'm finally good to go.

Beomgyu's POV

The day of the ball, is coming near, and with that there are also royal guests, that are going to stay in the Royal castle.

I was walking with, Yeonjun hyung, earlier, but he had something else to do. Then, left me, I was thinking when I bumped into somebody, making the both of us end up on the ground, with our butts, right into the ground.

The other person said, the other person voice, is kind of a female's.

I said, and quickly stand up, to help her, get back on her feet.

But, I was surprised, when I saw her dusting off her gown. I was surprised that, I was practically a wooden stick who is just standing.

She asked me, I was taken back.

I quickly scanned her, she had, Cat like eyes, she also is tall, but not as tall as me, she also has a sharp jaw line.

I asked her.

She said, while smiling shyly.

I said, while smiling.

I don't know why, But I feel like, she'll be close to me as well.

I asked her.

She asked me.

I asked her, with suspicion.

She said, and smiled.

Oh. So, she was the one. Who befriended my brother?

I said while, looking down.

She asked me.

I said, while tears are threatening to fall.

She said, while smiling and tried comforting me.

She is obviously trying to lift the mood up. So, I smiled.

I said, while still smiling.

She said, and laughed.

'She's right. We should at least to start introducing each other.' I mentally scolded myself.

I asked, while laughing.

She said, while also laughing.

I asked her.

She said, and fixed her posture, as she did that, I also fixed mine.

She said, while curtisied to me.

I said, with pride and then bowed.

She laughed and then suddenly somebody had to call her. It must her Personal maid, we quickly said our "Goodbye's" and then she left, with her Personal maid.

While, I continue to walk, towards, well no where. I was minding my own business when, somebody bumped into me, again.

'Okay, seriously, what is it, with me and bumping into somebody today?' I thought.

Again, we ended on our butts. Instead of standing up, or saying "sorry", or asking how I was. It was, crying, I looked at the other party, and it turns out to be a little Princess!

I quickly got up, and was trying to help her, stand up, but then she started shouting "Eonni". Does, she have an older sister?

I said, trying to comfort the little girl.

She keeps on shouting, again and again.

It's already irritating me. I was about to call guards to assist her to the Castle Infirmary, when a girl, about my Age, came.

She said, to the little girl.

Then, the little girl did an unexpected thing. She hugged the girl, who just came, and just kept on saying "Eonni", again and again, and pointed at me. The older girl then looked at me.

She said, while bowing.

I said, and was busy studying the two of them.

She asked me.

I asked her, while smiling.

She said, with an attitude voice.

Wait, aren't Princesses, supposed to be nice and all? Is this? I was literally thinking, I just bumped into the First Princess of Roselia.

She said.

I said, while smiling.

She said, while I just nodded as a response.

She said, while she curtsied.

Is, She really the Princess?! And Did, She just say, Roselia?! As in the Kingdom?!

While, I was doing that, I didn't notice that she was waiting for me to introduce myself.

I was about to introduce myself, when she cut me off.

She really is different, like really different. No, Princess, who dare cut somebody off, their sentence.

She asked me.

I was about to answer when somebody called her, it was the Queen; I quickly bowed to her, while she curtsied to me.

She asked me, while I just nodded.

After that, they quickly left, for the King.

I was star struck, I met the Princess of Roselia! The first, Princess! Not everybody, meets her, as from what I know, because either of these, reasons, she isn't allowed to go out, of their castle, she's super busy, you'll have to beat her in smartness, or she's studying.

So nobody really knows her. She's a mystery that is yet to be solved.

Author's POV

It is now the time of the ball. Every single maid, in the Kingdom is now busy either preparing the Royalty or the Ballroom.

Every single Royalty is said to be in their own Bedrooms, getting ready.

But, two Princesses were in the same room, as the Younger one, wants to see her Sister.

Since, this is a Ball; the Ball had a theme, a masquerade ball. The Queen thought of this as a way of making friends but secret, for Beomgyu, who missed out two years of making friends.

The ball was finally starting, and all the Royalties, are going down from the stairs. Either, being Admired or Judged, by the other royalties.

You would notice that the Second Prince was not sitting next to his parents, as the reason to that; he is sitting next to a Girl, his age, neatly dressed.

After, a while His, Father, the King, went to the stage, and announced that the Ball has begun.

Suddenly, that music turned into a lovely melody that is for ballroom dancing. Since, his Mother told him, that this ball is for him, to attend to, he can do whatever he wants to do, and this is also a perfect time to make friends.

He decided, if he wanted to make friends, he should start simple. Then, he thought why not the girl beside him?

He asked, the Princess who is beside him, lending out his hand, which she gladly took.

He then, danced with her, until the fifth song. It was actually amazing; that she can hold as long as he can, she was wearing heels, for crying out loud, that kind of hurts, while dancing. Not to mention, she is also A good dancer.

After a few minutes, the King requested their attention, as it was already 9:50 PM. Meaning, they would have to take their masks off, in ten minutes.

While waiting, Beomgyu, suddenly got tapped on his shoulder, he looked at that direction. Meeting a pair of eyes, of the girl he danced with earlier.

The Girl explained.

Beomgyu said, while pointing.

The girl said, and Left.

Beomgyu said to the Girl.

While, the girl just nodded, in response.

A couple of minutes later. The King said that there is only two minutes left. And the Girl still hasn't returned. The King was saying his speech, before; they all take off their masks.

The little prince was genuinely worried for the girl. Thinking that she might get lost, in this big castle of theirs. Without thinking he quickly stood up, and was about to go there, when somebody held his hand.

The Person who held him, said.

Beomgyu said in reply, and looked down.

The person said, while pointing at somebody.

The little prince quickly looked, and saw, the girl he danced with talking to somebody. Once, she was done, talking to them, she quickly made her way towards their table. When, he saw this, he quickly panicked, and went back to his seat, lucky for him, she didn't saw that.

After a couple of minutes, the King ordered everybody to stand up, in the center of the Ballroom. And take of their masks.

The girl, looked at the boy, and then took her mask off, revealing, that princess of Roselia! Princess Shin Ryujin, the Little Prince was so happy, he danced with the First Princess of Roselia.

He took off his too. Once he did, the Princess was surprised, and then laughed.

Ryujin said, while laughing.

Beomgyu asking her Ryujin.

Ryujin said, while still laughing.

The Prince smiled and ended up laughing with the Princess, and that's how the night ended for the both of them.
