[Exopink: Baekmi] The game of destiny

An innocent promise

In Seoul, a birthday party was filled with laughter and fun. The children were wearing different costumes and running around. The hall was decorated with lots of balloons and was filled with various games. A cute girl around 6 yrs old, wearing a princess costume with her hair tied in two buns was playing with her friends at the slide. Another girl with a pony tail pushed her unpurposefully making her fall down on the floor. A cute boy around 7 yrs old, wearing a prince costume approached her "Are you okay?" he asked her with a cute smile. He helped her stand also dusting her dress. The girl smiled at him "Thank you, oppa" He smiled listening her calling him oppa. This is the first time someone called him that as he himself was a child. He felt excited "You are welcome" he said cutely and left.

The same girl was crying alone in the garden and the same boy approached her again "Why are you crying?" he asked the girl. She looked at him still crying and said "My friend said I am ugly and I won't get a prince" The boy smiled looking at her "But you look beautiful to me" A small curve formed on the lips of the girl "Really?" she asked. The boy wiped her tears and said "Really. I never saw a cute girl like you" the boy said with a tint of redness in his cheeks still shy to express.

She smiled "Will the prince marry me when I become big like that sister?" she asked innocently, pointing towards a 20 yr old woman. The boy smiled and said innocently "He will marry you. I will fight with him if he doesn't" .The girl was thinking something deeply he noticed it and asked "What happenend?" She said pouting "I don't have a prince" He said pointing towards his costume "I am a prince" Her eyes shined brightly "Yes, you are". She added "You know in my story book, the prince will wake the princess by a kiss and marry her. I want to marry my prince too" He said fidgeting "I will become your prince and marry you"

She asked excitedly "Really?" He said still shy "Yes" She said "Okay, pinky promise?" He said interlocking his pinky finger with hers "Yes, I will" .He kissed her lips and said "I promise" The small girl said widening her eyes and covering her crimson cheeks "I will go tell my friend that I got my prince and I am going to marry him" and rushed inside the house. The boy was shy for what he did. He sat there alone smiling but was interrupted by his mother "Baekhyun? What are you doing here? We need to go home. Come on" Baekhyun said to his mother cutely "Mom, you know I met my princess.I am waiting for her. We will go later please. I didn't ask her name"

His mother smiled at his innocence, ruffling his hair "You will get your princess when you grow up not now. Come on" She picked him up in her arms but he wriggled saying his new friend will come back for him. His mother said "Okay, we will search for her inside" with that he kept quiet. He stood with his parents inside but his eyes kept wandering in search of the girl in the princess costume. One of the elders asked his father "Mr.Byun, I heard you are expanding your business" He said "Yes, that's true" After a while they decided to leave but baekhyun kept denying saying "I have to meet my princess". His father took him in his arms and said "I can't see her anywhere may be she left too"

He agreed with his dad disappointed but while they were leaving he saw a glimpse of her and a woman probably her mother calling her name "Yoon Bomi, stop running" .Bomi said holding her dress high and running "My prince is waiting for me" Baekhyun heard her sitting in his car peeking through the window "Bomi, I am here" he shouted but she could not hear him as she was busy running inside. He said to his mother crying "Mom, bomi is waiting for me. I said I will marry her" His mother thought that he is saying this because of innocence as he is still a child. She hugged him, gently stroking his back to calm him down "Its okay. You can marry her when you become big" He said still sobbing "I will marry bomi. I promise"

..........................................................................................................................................................................................

Bomi went to the garden panting hard but could not find her prince. She searched for him everywhere but he wasn't there. She started tearing up but soon her lips curved into a smile when she saw a boy wearing a prince costume playing with a man and a woman at a distance. His father called "Taehyung, Come on stop playing we should leave" Taehyung said cutely pouting "Dad, I am a prince today. I want to play" His mother chuckled gently stroking his hair "Yeah; you can play prince but at home. Look everyone went home already" Taehyung cutely smiled "Okay" Bomi smiled looking at him. Since she was a child she could not differentiate between baekhyun and taehyung as they were both wearing the same costume, same hairstyle on that they looked a bit identical? Let's say similar. She mistook her prince as taehyung.

Bomi's parents came near her and said "Bomi, let's go".She said "Mom, wait" and rushed near taehyung "I am Yoon bomi. What is your name?" She introduced herself and stood waiting for his reply. He said shyly not looking in her eyes "Kim Taehyung" She kissed him on his cheek and ran to her parents. His parents chuckled looking at the children. His father said laughing "Kids these days" Taehyung blushed and wiped his cheek. His mother asked "Do you like bomi?" He said "Yes" still rubbing his cheek. His mother joked "Will you marry her?" Taehyung said "Yes, I will"

............................................................................................................................................................................................................

Bomi went to his mother and said "Mom, I am going to marry taehyung when I become big. I promise". Her mother shook her head "Where did you learn these things?" She saw her pouting and said "Fine, marry him". Bomi said cheering "Yay, i will marry taehyung" Her father snorted "Why is she talking about marriage at such a young age? I will throw those story books away tomorrow" Her mother giggled at her husband's jealousy. Bomi's father adored her and his wife was sure this will not change in future too.

.........................................................................................................................................................................................

It was a cold morning, bomi was still in her bed squirming and wrapped in her soft duvet still dreaming. Her mother came to her room and woke her up "Bomi, get up" She sighed "This girl!!....How long are you going to sleep?" Bomi mumbled "Taehyung.....i love you" Her mother shook her head in disbelief still waking her up "Bomi, don't you want to go to school?" Bomi sat up straight when she heard school "Oh my god, I am late" She rushed to the washroom not even glancing once at her mother.

.......................................................................................................................................................................................

Bomi stood in front of the mirror getting ready for the school. She smiled looking at her reflection "You are so lovely bomi. I will fulfill my promise and marry you". She squealed "Oh my god, will taehyung say this to me? I can't wait" Bomi still remembers and dreams about her childhood promise but the only difference is she still assumes that was taehyung who promised not baekhyun.She gave a flying kiss to the mirror and ran downstairs grabbing her school bag.

..........................................................................................................................................................................................

Her mother said sighing, setting the breakfast on the table "When will this girl change, though she is in high school she acts a like a kid" Her husband, bomi's father Mr.Yoon chuckled "Let her have fun she is just 17 yrs old. When will she enjoy if not now". Mrs.Yoon said "You always support her. Look how spoiled she is now" Bomi said taking her seat "Mom, when did I act spoiled? I didn't ask for anything, right dad?" She said looking at her father wriggling her eyebrows. Her father ruffled her hair "Of course you are not spoiled,my lovely daughter" Bomi said looking at her mother and hugging her father "See, dad approves I am a good girl" Her mother mocked "Yeah, yeah, you and your father" Bomi kissed her mother "Mom, I love you" Her mother smiled.She kissed her father and left to the school. Her father giggled looking at his wife and she head to the kitchen smiling. Her mother loves her too but she wants her to stop dreaming and be serious with her life.
