The sun was high in the sky on a bright spring morning.  Birds chirped and sky was a brilliant blue. The green leaves in the trees rustled as a soft breeze blew by in the valley. Most of the students were in their dorms, and many were in school. Basically scattered around. Not many dared wander into the forests and woods, nor up mountains. They stayed near the castle.

The hallways were busy. Girls giggled and talked about the latest trends. Suddenly, the hallway quieted and it was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. The sounds of expensive shoes walking across the marble floor could be heard as twelve gorgeous men walked by, followed by many girls. The girls looked at them totally in love, and the boys looked at them in admiration and jealousy. When the twelve men reached end of the hallway, which so happened to be the exclusive classroom of the twelve, many of the girls broke out in excited giggles. "I swear Kai oppa just winked at me!!" "Lu Han oppa is sooooo handsome~!" "Isn't Kris just the most charming guy ever? What a MAN!"

They couldn't believe the Kingkas had just walked by. There was grace and elegance laced into the respected steps of the twelve, and was pretty suave if one had to admit. No one dared get in the way of the twelve, and it should stay like that. The Boys Over Flowers drama was too cliche. There’s no Geum Jan Di in this academy.

As soon as the boys were inside their classroom, they flopped down on the couches. “Why are there always so many girls?” Baek Hyun muttered in annoyance. “It’s creepy how they always stare at us like we’re a piece of beef or something.”

Chan Yeol laughed. “It’s becuase they love us,” Kai said arrogantly.

“Yah, why are you being so cocky? Oh wait, I forgot. You’re NATURALLY like that,” Xiu Min said sarcastically and the others chuckled while Kai just pouted. “Hyungg~~” he whined.

Se Hun was quiet the whole time and was staring out the window, looking out the large window, his face relfecting against the glass. Staring out the window, he was surprised to see a girl outside with a watering can, wearing a soft looking pale blue dress and light yellow cardigan, her hair swept away from her face and was neatly hanging straight down her back, her healthy looking cream colored skin glowing under the sun as she walked about the gardens, watering the flowers. Her beauty was so... mesmerizing. Who was that?

"So, we have a chemistry lab tomorrow- hey! Se Hun! YAH!" Baek Hyun looked over at the unresponsive Maknae who was just staring out the window, completely oblivious. He walked over and saw the scene Se Hun was staring at.

"Who is that?" Se Hun whispered softly. Baek Hyun looked annoyed just seeing the figure of a girl.

"Aish, probably one of those girls who hang around us all day. Of all the places in the garden it has to be the place right under our window. She’s so going to get in trouble for this. Principal Kim doesn’t allow any girl inside his prized Gardens of Eloi. This girl’s gonna be in deep shit, " He said, rolling his eyes. Se Hun looked away. He didn't know whether or not to believe his hyung, but most of the time what Baek Hyun said was right. This was probably another one of the Kingkas' fan girls. And probably Lu Han's. Judging from the looks, she was definitely dressed to appeal to this snow prince.

Why are all girls the same?

Meanwhile, in the garden...

Water trickled from the watering can in a straight arch, landing in the flower beds with a slight flush. Cha An looked at the flowers growing beautifully. They were Gibraltar Campions, beautiful pale purple flowers that were extremely rare and thought to be extinct. Cha An had brought them from home, and with special permission with Principal Kim, planted them in the prized gardens of Eloi, a secret garden located on the right front lawn of the school, located under the East Tower. Those flowers were her mother's.
