Yul suddenly stepped back as he saw Tiffany Hwang in person for the first time in his life.

She was very beautiful. She had black hair, and dark eyes, though he couldn’t tell what color in the dim light. He smirked…so she WAS as superficial as to maintain her hair. But she looked gorgeous, nonetheless. She was very regal. Her figure was outlined in white, which emphasized a very shapely figure. She was an Ice Queen, and the way she looked made him think immediately of winter.

“Good evening,” she said, in a cold voice, which she practiced.

After all, the Ice Queen couldn’t go around with her warm cheery voice.

That voice chilled his blood, and he felt the warmth drain out of his face. No one’s voice had EVER froze his heart before, but he felt it now.

Tiffany looked curiously at the young man before her. Strangely enough, her companion was apparently a sun king.

His hair was golden, a very light brown sun-streaked blond. His eyes were gold, underneath the gold mask he wore. His attire was also gold, a gold velvet tunic, golden velvet pants and golden leather boots, with a gold velvet cape with gold satin lining. It outlined a fit, very built body. His face was also a golden tan.

He was entirely too handsome, Tiffany caught her breath.

“Good evening,” he said, condescendingly. Yul had disguised himself well this time. He was aware of the destiny thing, and assumed that if the Hwang princesses all knew it was him, they’d go after him and try to end up at the end. 

For that reason, he dressed himself in gold, wore the gold contacts, put on tanning lotion, and a nice golden wig, that went in a full waving mass about his head under a gold crown. It was going to work, he determined.

“Yul!” Taeyeon smiled.

“You look quite royal-like. Sun king, cute. Just make sure you don’t insult her too much! I couldn’t really tell who you were until I noticed your stride.” 

He saw the second of the two figures in the hall.

“Tiffany! The ICE QUEEN? Good choice! I wouldn’t have known you except for the fact that you’re standing in your doorway. You two are perfect complements of each other! Sun king and Ice queen! You two will have lots of fun tonight! I had no idea you guys already knew each other! I was going to introduce you when you started working together at the White House, but I guess that isn’t necessary!”

Tiffany felt a queer feeling in her heart. So this was Yul Kwon, no mistake. He was handsome, VERY handsome, and his name was Yul. There were not many other possibilities.

It was just as well he had chosen to be arrogant royalty! She inwardly sneered. 

*HIM, the SUN KING? Already assuming too much are we, Prince Yul? Ha!*

But her heart jumped some beats. He was FINE! She felt her cold white cheeks bloom into summer roses.

Yul, meanwhile, was trying to find a way to get away from the Hwang brat. The former first kid was undoubtedly some prissy snob, and her voice was cold enough to freeze his toes. But fearing he wasn’t being courteous, he offered her his arm. 

"Shall we?"

“Shall we what?” she asked, with a smile quirking in one of her mouth.

It was a kissable mouth. Very kissable, and though appearing cold looked soft ad inviting, with smooth curves. “I only offered my arm for fear you may trip yourself…” over that ego! he completed in his mind.

Tiffany was determined not to show that she cared for who he was, and determined to show him that Tiffany Hwang would not be led around like other women. She wanted to walk away from him, coldly snubbing him. However, he was offering his arm, and as a matter of courtesy and pride, and somewhat intrigue, she took it.
