"What are you, a prince?" ~Lee Eun-Byul

"Prince Jimin!" people called out to the popular prince, him not giving any looks at the reporters, who he thought was like "commoners".

"When will you get married!? You're the last in the family who hasn't found his queen and you need one to take on the crown!" another yelled, trying to get close to the prince, but his brothers and bodyguards crowded around him, so you could barely even see what he does.

"Sorry, Jimin." Yoongi said to his little brother, making Jimin nod in response. It was true; Jimin was the last in the family to find his "love", and he'd become king in a few weeks. He thought it was nothing at first, that's why he took so long. Now that the pressure was on for Jimin, he's taking matters into his own hands to find the girl he won't be annoyed with.

"Sis!" someone yelled on the other side of town. Eun-Byul came racing down the stairway, looking for her sister.

"Yes?!" Eun-Byul screamed back, finding her sister in the kitchen. 

"Namjoon is looking for you in the living room," Ga-Young said, handing her sister a cookie. Her sister sighed of relief and grabbed the cookie, taking a bite into it.

"Okay. See you in a bit." Eun-Byul said. Ga-Young watched as her little sister walked away, not glancing back once. Ga-Young wasn't the brightest, she didn't graduate. A year or so after Eun-Byul was born, the Lee family had enough money to be counted as 'average'. Ga-Young went to study how to be a housewife, due to the fact that's the only thing you may learn. 

After their father was diagnosed with cancer, she became an airhead. She couldn't go to the 'housewife' school anymore, making her stay at home. She's tried getting countless jobs, but only end up getting fired the next week. She did her best to support the family with what she got, however, most of it was for her.

"Namjoon!" Eun-Byul exclaimed, making Namjoon turn around with a cup of tea in his hands. She ran up to him and hugged him, making him drop the cup of tea and breaking it to pieces. 

"Ah, sorry!" He said, making her giggle.

"Don't mind that! It's been so long! I haven't seen you in 2 years!" She said, hugging him even tighter.

"Were you able to become a doctor yet?" She asked him, making him frown.

"As much as I wanted to Eun-Byul, you know I can't due to my family duties." He replied, making her sigh and pull away.

"Right." she simply said.

"I know how it feels, Namjoon." She thought, smiling at the taller dude in front of her.

"What duties, huh? What are you, a prince?" Eun-Byul teased, making him widen his eyes.

"Uh, of course not!" He stuttered, making Eun-Byul giggled and hit his arm.

"I'm joking, Namjoon. You know we both hate Royal families." She said, making Namjoon nervously laugh. Ever since Eun-Byul's dad got sick a few years ago, she hated how the royal family did nothing to help, even though her mom was the nanny for 25 years. They even forced her mom to continue working, and so she couldn't be there for her husband when he needed her the most.

"Eun-Byul!" He said, making her snap out of her thoughts. She looked up at him with a confused look, making Namjoon smile.

"So, how's Busan's kingdom-life been?" Namjoon asked her, making her roll her eyes and huff.

"Terrible! Those princes at the Royal Kingdom barely do anything for the citizens who live here. Plus, dad's sickness is getting way worse, so at least I finished early." Eun-Byul replied, sighing. Namjoon bit his lip, feeling a bit pressured.
