A/N Rose ba yang nasa picture? Di ako sure. Basta it's red. Looks like it though for me. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Sahae's POV
We gathered inside the castle. The King--King Kris left me with the five princes. They toured me inside. The aura in this castle is very different from back home. It doesn't feel as happy as ours. In short, this castle feels gloomy all over the place. Or if I'm not mistaken, because Princess Keru left?
Oh but their eyes earlier! Those piercing eyes shocked me. If only glaring could kill, King Kris has probably died-- Oops! That's rude.
I wonder why they were like that earlier. Oh well.
"So uhh, Princess Sahae.."
"Sahae would be fine." I interrupted. It was the guy who talked to Baekhyun oppa earlier before he left. If I'm not mistaken, his name is uhh.. Luhan. I'm good at remembering names. He flinched and nodded.
"Oh uhm, okay Sa-sahae." I smiled, so are the rest. "Uhm, would you like to have a rest? I'll bring you to your room. You could change clothes and take a nap." Luhan suggested. I accepted his offer and we went to my room---I mean, Keru's room.. that I would be using for a while.
Luhan set my luggage aside by the bed. "I'll be leaving you know." He flashed a smile. "Call me when you need some help." He added and then off he went outside the room.
I sighed. I feel tired already.
The moment I lay down on the bed, I fell asleep already.
I woke up and changed my floral knee-length dress to a white three-fourths sleeve above the knee dress. I like dresses above the knees, they're comfortable for me.
I left Keru's room and found myself wandering around the garden. There's a garden full of roses here. They look so calm.. and red.
Just when I was about to pick one, someone called my attention. It was Prince Tao. The slightly tanned skin guy but he surpassed Kai's skin color for a few baths. The one with little, dark circles around his eyes. Am I describing him right? I feel like I am judging him hahaha
"You like those?" I flinched. "Hi Princess." He stood next to me and held the flower I was about to pick. Got caught, bad idea. I nodded. "I like them too but.. I think a blue one is better." Blue rose?
"There's a blue rose?" Did I just said that out loud? "Ah! I-i mean.."
"Sadly, there's none." He picked the flower and let if fall on the ground with a bittersweet smile. "Oh! But we have white roses available here that I use and dye it with blue." He added happily. I can hear it from the tone of his voice.
"Doesn't it harm the rose?" I asked out of curiosity. I'm not intending to hurt his feelings or whatsoever. "I mean, when you dye it of course." I added, ending my sentence with an awkward smile.
"Ah! Don't worry about that. My brother, Lay ge, heals them for me." He explained. "Let's go see the roses I dyed" He happily suggested. "Uh well.. if it's okay with you, of course." And then bright red his face went. He became a jolly, excited kid to a shy boy in just a split second.
I giggled at him. At his actions, actually. "Sure, Prince Tao."
We went to Tao ge's room.
He explained to me that in their land oppa/hyung is the same as gege/ge. This is the reason why I am calling him Tao ge which he insisted that I call him instead of Prince Tao. In return, he calls me Sahae which I told them earlier to call me that.
His room were full of blue colours. He has a table near the window where he has these bottles with different shades of blue tint in it. There were a few bottles with roses in each.
I admired how they look. Slowly changing colors from white to blue from the bottom of the bud until it reaches the top, showing no evidence of white in it the next time I might see it--if I could still do.
"Isn't it nice?" Tao asked. He's not pointing to anything but it's obvious that he meant--"..the rose, I mean." He added.
"I know, silly." I replied with a chuckle. "They're actually beautiful just like what you said." And then I smiled.
"Just like you." He said, and then gave me a rose--a blue one. "Here, I'll give you one.. because I think I li--"
"Oh! Ah it's okay! You don't really need to though!"
"But please do! It will make me happy." He insisted. I grabbed the flower. "I'll slow up it's time to wither or die easily from time to time. So that it could last a little longer." He smiled. And he hovered his hands over the rose.
Slow the time?
"Slow up the time?" I asked. "Ah, Time control. It's what I have." He said. "I could choose a specific object I want to use it and slow down it's time without affecting it's surrounding." He explained. Ah so that's why

I wandered around the castle. After I left Tao, I was with Xiumin ge. The oldest, he says. Though he doesn't look like one. He looks so young, just like Sehun.
I noticed that it's kinda chilly walking besides him. He told me freezing or lowering down the temperature is his thing. He said that he feels that the temperature is hot more rather than his other brothers.
We shared a lot of stories with each other. I even told him about my mother, whom I don't even recognize and I passed out again from crying.
--
I woke up and I am in a strange room I don't recognize, lying on a bed.
I got up and was startled to see one of the princes inside the room. Sitted on the chair beside my bed. Lay.
"Hi S-sahae. How are you? Are you feeling any better?" He asked worriedly. I can feel his tenseness by the sound of his voice. Especially when he called out my name.
I nodded. "Would you like some soup? I cooked one for you." Lay ge offered. He's just like my Kyung Oppa. Cooking for me and all. Caring like mother, oh really? Hah what am I talking about? I don't have a mother. "I kinda healed you while you were asleep. You know, healing unicorn here. I thought you were sick and then Xiumin ge told me you just passed out so.. yeah. I cooked." He said, flashing his adorable smile at me and his cute little dimple on his cheeks.
I absentmindedly reached for it and poked it and he laughed. "Just like my baby Keru. Hahaha You're so cute." He said, messing up my hair. "Take your time. I'll be leaving you first." He waved his hands at me and then he was gone.
I feel bitter. Not the soup that's bitter but my emotions. My emotions are bitter.. or should I say bittersweet?
I wonder why Father never told me about what my other power is besides teleporting. Is it really that powerful?
