Aye it's me Jimin c:
I'd like to apologize for being such a bad author due to habitually going on hiatuses and recently going on the longest hiatus ever (think it was 7 months? From Sept till now) 😓 Please accept my apology.

This it the last chapter I'm doing till I pass the baton to Aris. Hopefully she'll be a much much better author than me. Enough said, enjoy!

By the time Heize woke up, she realized it was late afternoon, the sky which was now ocean blue, drizzling cold raindrops. She pulled her hood up and tried to warm herself.

What other choice does she have, she wondered. She had no where to go, no one to seek help from, and most importantly no shelter. But she couldn't just sit here forever. She was planning on what she should do when suddenly a person in white sneakers appeared and stood in front of her.

The person held a black umbrella and shaded Heize from the drizzle. She couldn't quite make out who it was, as the umbrella had completely covered the person's upper body and face. "T-thanks." Heize shivered, curious to see who the person was.

"Take this, and I believe you'll need these too, for your necessities." The person whom Heize assumed to be a male for his deep voice squatted and placed the umbrella down, hastily throwing a golden card. Heize muttered a thanks again as the man stood up and left.

She squinted and tried to get a clearer view of the man from a distance. Everything from his sharp jaw to his round, somewhat empty and emotionless, hazel eyes, to his high cheekbones and messy brown hair, seemed weirdly enthralling but familiar to her.

When she slowly picked up the golden card and saw that it held bank information, codes, as well as a business card attached to it, the profile picture caught her attention. "T-Trevor?!"

Summer twirled in the simple dress she decided to wear today. She was getting ready to go out with Roy for shopping. The dress was fairly plain, but it accentuated Summer's soft features greatly. The dress was paired with simple white converses. She smiled, satisfied at her choice of clothing, as well as at the thought of going out with Roy. 'Could this be our first date? When'd I get so cringey, wow.' Summer thought.

"You look cute~." The door creaked as a deep voice popped out. "Roy? You're done already?" Summer looked down, feeling shy and anxious at how he'd react--- she was wearing the dress Roy got for their one year friendship, which was totally unnecessary, but Roy being Roy, he just insisted.

"Bro. Really?"

Summer's face shot up. 'Never knew the prince would call me bro. wAiT did he just brozone mE-'

"Avery?! How did you- Your voice- I-" Summer, at a loss for words, paused, "You scared me! Aren't you supposed to be chilling at a pet cafe or something instead of being here?"

"Summer, hurry up! Roy's been waiting for like an hour already! And second, this palace has a pet garden. Just get down. Roy's getting impatient. Tsk, never knew you'd be this late." Avery sighed, disappointed.

Summer checked the time, "It's already four in the afternoon?! The last time I glanced at the clock before showering it was just one!!"

"I wasted so much time!" Summer ran down the stairs like crazy, knowing Roy wasn't the type to get impatient. "He isnt here! Did he leave without me?" She realized that Roy's car wasn't in the porch. 'He must've left. I definitely messed up.' Summer thought hopelessly.

"I'll say sorry first thing when he comes home." Summer promised herself.

Summer continued to pace around the royal living room for the next hour, glancing at the front entrance every now and then. "Hahahaha look at her worried face! This was a successful prankwojnffd-" a high-pitched voice was muffled, "SHH Laura I swear-" followed by Avery's.

Summer's eyes widened. She looked around, catching 2 petite figures hiding behind enormous soft toys. Quickly deciphering the word 'prank', she caught the situation while those petite figures who were no other than Avery and Laura fled before Summer had the chance to catch them.

"You rascals! How dare you!!"
