On the way back to the royal palace ,which Chanyeol had left for ten years ,he doesn't talk and stares outside of the window .So ... I'm really going back there after all these years .There must be so many changes while I'm away .How's my mom doing ?Is she fine ? Is my brother ,Sehunnie doing fine too ?Ahh I remember he cried so badly when I left for California .I hope the kid is doing fine now .And ... Father ,does he still hates me ?

Chanyeol let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes .His butler ,Sooman manage to catch a glimpse of Chanyeol's face expression and he knows what's exactly bothering the young Prince .As the long flight from California to Seoul is really tiring ,Chanyeol falls asleep in just a few minutes .Sooman covered the Prince with a blanket to prevent him from getting cold .He then whispered , "I'll protect you from the evils this time ,no matter what it takes ."

The van stopped in front of a big ,fancy gate. A soldier salutes the van and the van drives into the palace .

In the van ,Chanyeol is still asleep .Although Sooman doesn't want to wake him up as he looks so tired, but he had no choice, because there'll be a dinner later for Chanyeol to meet his royal families .He slightly pat on Chanyeol's shoulder ,and call him gently . "Chanyeol …Chanyeol ,wake up ,we're almost there ."

Chanyeol opens his eyes when he hears someone is calling him .He yawns and slowly, he crawls out of the van .Just in time to wake up .He is relieved .A grand building appeared in front of them .The carvings on the posts are so exquisite ,and there is a red carpet along the way to the hall .Everything is grand ,as usual. He sighs a little inside .Chanyeol isn't the kind of typical royalties which are so fond of grand and fancy things .

"Welcome home ,Your Highness ." The butlers and maids who are standing along the red carpet greets Chanyeol as soon as he starts to move .He nods his head and turns to Sooman , "So where are we going now ? " The latter smiled and answers "Kyungsoo will take you to your room and change .From now on ,he'll be your personal assistant ."

A boy who's about the same age with Chanyeol walked towards him and bowed ."Good afternoon Your Highness ,I'm Kyungsoo ." He greeted .Kyungsoo huh ,he looks so small ,does he able to be my personal assistant ? Chanyeol smirks .Well well let me see, big eyes, heart shaped lips, brown hair ,shorter than me ...He's qualified .Chanyeol didn't realize that his personal assistant ,is staring at him like he's some kind of alien .

Look at the way he judge .I wish I could just throw some bricks in his face .Kyungsoo mentally curse the person who's still judging him .He looked at the ancient clock on the wall ,oh great if he continue judging me like that and we'll be late ."Your Highness ?We may move now ." Kyungsoo snapped his boss ' judgement on him .

After seeing both of them are able to communicate with each other ,Sooman patted on Kyungsoo's shoulder and tell Chanyeol that he'll leave him to Kyungsoo .Oh great ,dad left me alone with this jerk ,I'm so not fine now .Kyungsoo complains in his own mind ."Take the lead ,personal assistant, what are you waiting for ?" Chanyeol has no patience to watch his personal assistant day dreaming in front of him anymore .

"Sorry ,Your Highness .We'll go now ." As Kyungsoo starts to answer, he starts moving too .In a few minutes ,Chanyeol is lead to a huge room .Fancy again .Looking at his boss' so not amused face ,Kyungsoo tried to ignore that and informs him : "Bos… Sorry ,Your Highness ,here's your personal closet .All your outfits are matched and arranged properly in here ."

Hearing no response from Chanyeol ,Kyungsoo just shrug his shoulders and open the door .Then, he takes out a suit with a bright red bow tie and shows Chanyeol . "Your Highness ,this would be your outfit for the royal dinner later ." "Change that bow tie ,I hate red ." Kyungsoo is surprised to hear Chanyeol speaking so serious .It get on his nerves . "Y-y-yes ,Your Highness .Is th-this o-okay-y ? " Kyungsoo stuttered and takes out a flower-printed bow tie from the glass drawer .

Oh shit what would happen if the boss is angry again ?What if he dislike flowers ..Oh someone save me ! Chanyeol has so much fun watching the different changes of his personal assistant's facial expression but he had to act cool. "It's fine ." He pretended to take a glance at the flower-printed bow tie .

Kyungsoo quickly hand the whole outfit to Chanyeol and escape .

Behind the door .

Kyungsoo panted and at the same time he's relieved that his boss didn't show any of his anger towards him .I should write down what the hell he likes and what he doesn't .He thought as he takes out a notebook from his pocket .

In the room .

Chanyeol unbuttoned his shirt and look in the mirror .He can't stop thinking back the funny scenes just now .Hahaha look at him ,just like a baby .He's too young to be in the castle .Anyway he's cuter than the maids I had before in California .I hope I didn't scare him off ,he's fun but I really hate red .

Suddenly, the door opened .Kyungsoo quickly hide his notebook which he uses to jot down his boss' likes and dislikes .Although Kyungsoo is fast, but Chanyeol manage to spot the notebook .I'm curious .He smirks .

Watching his boss smirking ,Kyungsoo has a bad feeling. He wants to throw bricks in his face but right now ,escaping is more important .He watches Chanyeol coming closer and closer to him .
