Feeling like she's resting on a fluffy cloud, Dahyun didn't want to get out of it and just sleep all day. As she snuggled her face closer to her soft pillow, her bedroom door was forcefully opened resulting to a loud "bang".
"Rise and shine Prince Junho! Your day is about to start great! First you're-" Some place maids moved around while Jeongyeon kept blabbering about her schedule for the day, which she didn't pay attention to.
They're already out of her room and on their way towards the sitting room where the King- her uncle is waiting, signing and reading papers. "Oh, Junho you're finally here.. Come, have a seat I'm going to teach you a lot of things." The King was so different than he was last night, he's gentler and warmer.
As they were going through those tall stacks of papers, their foreheads creasing and eyebrows furrowed, the King brought up the topic the real Junho just had ran away from. "Junho." The King is contemplating, hesitating to push further the matter, he did it anyways before it's needed. "I hope after your escapade the other day you've gave a thought of what I told you.." Removing his reading glass and straightening his posture, he paused and turned to face Junho. "You're to marry a friend's daughter- only daughter to be exact. I want you to treat her right and proper." He then hands her over a purple folder. "Everything you need to know about her is in there.."
Dahyun did skim through the papers, as the King watched her do so. She saw the girls dislikes and likes and her hobbies and favorites. Although the girls picture itself got her staring.
"I don't understand why you tried to runaway in the first place, only ending to stare at her picture- ha! What more if she's here?! HAHAHAHA!" The king teased, making her blush madly and closing the folder. "Hahahaha, My, my.. Genji will be glad to hear this. HAHAHAHA!"
+++++
And so that's what she did all day; reading and memorising the girl like her favorite piano piece. She learned every basic information about her; she's Japanese, likes purple, and two years older than her. She wasn't very fond with scary things; such as ghost. She can dance and sing too.
However Dahyun's reading was interrupted by Jeongyeon. "Prince!" She unknowingly startled the acting Prince, making her drop the folder. Jeongyeon picked it up swiftly and skimmed through it. "I see, you're told to study her.. Damn, she's beautiful." She praised the Princess's picture. "Yeah, she's my new project.. How do you think Junho will welcome her? I haven't seen him approach a girl before." Dahyun placed a hand on her chin, thinking deeply. "How should I know? You're the one who grew up with him, I merely started working for you before we flew to England." Jeongyeon answered as she closed the folder. "So what do you think?" she asks as she hands the folder to Dahyun, genuinely intrigued of what her boss / friend has in mind.
+++++
They waited until midnight, when the maids and other palace staffs are already asleep. They are planning a simple- harmless little prank. Good thing the Japanese princess was said to use her old room, it has a eerily looking hall way and it has a door connected to the library near by.
And that's all they did all night, planning and thinking how they'll execute the prank. If Dahyun was to be honest, she didn't really wanted to welcome the girl with a prank, if she was to do it her way she'll prepare just a bouquet of flowers and and play the piano for her. But she must do it the Junho way, she must tease her, prank her and annoy her and may be after experiencing how much of a handful trouble maker Prince Junho is, she'll back out from the engagement herself.
"We've got until Sunday to set this." Jeongyeon informed the spacing out Prince beside her. "I'll go and buy the things we'll need tomorrow.. You don't have any schedule tomorrow too. Would you like to tag along? Roam the city?" Jeongyeon nudge Dahyun which made her come back to her senses. "Yeah, I'd like that.. Celebrating my last taste of freedom will do me good." She joked which made them both chuckle.
+++++
It's already almost dawn, Jeongyeon went back to her room at exactly 2:30 am while Dahyun insisted to stay inside the library to read. She read the books hes uncle asked her to; books about politics and such. She knew she shouldn't take it too seriously; becase 1. She's not the real Junho and 2 she wouldn't even need it. But the her sole desire of not wanting to disappoint the King pushed her to study.
Without even realising it, she fell asleep sitting infront of the table, her head resting on three books while her arms are sprawled on the table. Snoring like a tired little baby.
Only her quiet slumber was interrupted when someone opened the library's door.
"Oh! Junho, ha! You still can't last a second of reading a single page." Her other cousin, Suho beamed and sat across from her. "Leave me alone Suho.." She groaned and hid her face. "Hahaha, Grandama is expecting you in the garden." As she heard it she bolted up, fully awake.
