Whenever Joy felt like the world was being cruel to her, she always told herself one thing.

"Every fairy tale begins in pain, before it has its happy ending."

And if anybody was meant to be in a fairy tale, it should be her. She, Park Sooyoung, was the ideal star for a Disney Princess movie. The last time Joy checked in the mirror, she swore to God (blasphemy aside) that she had everything to become a Disney Princess. She had her lethal eyesmile and milky white skin, and a fiery soul that could move people to tears.

Screw Mulan! So what if she pretended to be some dude? Fell in love with some general? Then saved an entire country? That was like a freaking plot to a kdrama! The Park Sooyoung story had more fairy tale princess involved.

Speaking of Mulan... As she was surrounded by lush greenery and brilliant blue sky, Joy felt like it was the perfect time to shoot her OST Music Video inside her head.

"Look at me, you might think you see who I really am... But you'll never know me."

But right before she could belt it out, someone decided to ruin her fantasy.

"Oh I do know you, Park Sooyoung!"

"Oh hello sir..." Joy giggled embarrassingly, hoping she could melt the heart of her community service leader with her eyesmile.

From the stern look in his narrowed eyes, it was obvious that he was a heartless mutant who didn't appreciate the beauty of God's creation right in front of him.

"What are you doing just standing there?" He strided closer, trying to intimidate the girl to work. "You're supposed to be here for your community service."

"But Sir, I'm Park Sooyoung... My enigmatic presence is my service to the community."

The instructor was ready to fire back, but decided not to mess with Joy anymore if he wanted to live in this world stress free.

"Sir! Sir!" She called out as her instructor shoved a rake in her hand. "SIRRRRR!!!! What am I going to do with this thing?! SIRRRRR!!!!!"

But whatever, her instructor's rudeness was not going to ruin her from her epic music video. So, with her rake as a makeshift microphone and the park as her setting, she was ready to rule the Disney Soundtrack Chart.

"Who is that girl that I see?"

"Joy unnie, it's me!"

"Unnie?!" Joy wondered who could be calling her 'unnie'.

"JOY UNNIIIIIEEEE?!"

"Who on Earth- is- Oh..." The girl finally realized who was calling her. The big baby Kim Jisoo was awkwardly perched on top of the gym.

Jisoo used her cupped hands as her imaginary megaphone and she yelled at Joy down below.

"What are you doing here? I don't see you as an outdoors type of person."

"Me neither." Joy agreed. "That's why I feel so weird being surrounded by a lot of.... green, tall things."

Jisoo's doe eyes fluttered in confusion. "You mean trees? I love trees!"

"Yes, those... and these green itchy things on the ground."

"Grass?"

"Oh yes, those things. So, how about you? What are you doing here? Or should I say what are you doing on top of this giant thing to be more specific?"

Joy instantly realized that she hit on a sensitive topic, when the usual bright doe eyes of Jisoo's were now suddenly filled with sadness. Somehow that didn't bode well with Joy. Jisoo was much closer to her other "friends" Irene and Yeri, but she has always liked the girl, especially for Jennie. Yes, Jisoo might be a little too hyperactive for her taste, but her perky innocence has always had an effect on her (and the world, probably.)
