"yah! hurry up!" a loud shout caused jaeyoung to wake up suddenly. the girl jolted up from her bed, falling onto the hard wooden floor. jaeyoung grunts and slowly stands up as hyori struts in her bedroom. "it's a saturday!" jaeyoung exclaims and sits on her bed.

"exactly!" hyori also exclaimed.

"then why wake me up at five in the morning?!" jaeyoung whined and hugs her pillow tighter.

"cause! you'll be taking over my morning shift today," hyori grinned making jaeyoung frown and flop on her bed.

"why?" jaeyoung asked.

hyori placed both of her hands on the side of her waist, "i have some things to do." she giggled.

"and what is that?" jaeyoung removed the pillow that was covering her face.

"it's top secret! not for min jaeyoung to know." hyori said before pulling jaeyoung up.

jaeyoung slumped her shoulders, glaring a bit at the older, "whatever." she mumbled and grabs her towel before heading towards the bathroom.

"auntie kang is already waiting for you in the bakery! see you later night." hyori shouted before leaving the room.

meanwhile, in the palace, all the princes were inside the dining hall, eating breakfast. the atmosphere was moderate, topics would sometimes open up about certain things, but mainly that was it. chatting whilst eating wasn't something they would always do since they are always together anyways.

the king sat in the middle, he ate silently while his first wife sat to his left. his wife was busy analyzing the princes' expression, and soon noticed how more joyful some have been.

"renjun, dear." their mother called. renjun instantly shot his head up to look at his mother. although some of them weren't her actual children, they've come to respect each of their mother's equally. all eyes focused on renjun as the boy raised both of his brows, "yes, mother?" he questions.

"how was your trip to the library with jeno?" she asked softly.

jeno looked at his brother, a bit nervous that renjun would confess about the girl. fortunately, he didn't and just simply smiled, "it was okay. just like it always it."

their mother smiled as well, "that's good to hear."

"i've noticed how most of you seem more joyful, did anything come up?" their mother questions, her smile never faltering.

ten shot his head up and looked at his siblings, also noticing how some of younger ones looked more happy than before. "jaemin?" their mother called. the boy seemed to be busy with his meal, he snapped his head towards his mother, "yes, mother?"

"you look more happy than usual, my dear."

"am i not allowed to be?" jaemin suddenly questioned making jeno kick his foot from underneath the table. "i just won a game last night, mother. nothing else." he said.
