Chaeyoung was walking down the hallway in a hurry knowing she was late for the breakfast, she exited the library just in time, but somehow managed to get lost. Now she was hurrying over down the hallway searching for someone who would guide her a proper way. But there was no one in sight, not even a single maid. She took a halt as the hallway divided into two paths, without thinking much she ran towards the right side and then BAMM!! She fell down after bumping into someone. She looked up to find two princesses looking at her. She recognised one from the greenhouse, and was almost about to smile.
" Hey, look where you are going. Are you hurt?" Chaeyoung looked in the direction of the voice, a senior looking worriedly, extending her arm. Chaeyoung took it and stood up on her feet.
"I am sorry, I got lost..." She said as her eyes darted to the ground from embarrassment
"It's okay, we are headed for the dining hall as well, and don't worry we are going to sneak up, just follow my lead and we won't get caught" Jungyeon said with a mischievous smile. Chaeyoung looked at her in disbelief and Dahyun just smiled at her.
They were trying to be as silent as they could as they advanced from the back of the room. Chaeyoung's heart was beating so fast from excitement that she feared her heartbeat would attract attention. She never violated any rule and difnately never sneaked to breakfast. Somehow she found it fun. The three of them secured the last table and the food was served.
"That was.... Awesome" Chaeyoung said amused. " My sister has always been like this" Dahyun said with a smile. Chaeyoung returned her smile.
"We met at the plant house." Dahyun added."I wanted to talk, but you just went away."
Chaeyoung nodded. "It was the first time in a while that someone actually showed any facial expression at me. I was taken aback." Chaeyoung said truthfully.
The table felt silent. Just then Jungyeon started the introductions. "I am Jungyeon and she is my sister and my best friend Dahyun"
Chaeyoung nodded"I am chaeyoung" and that's how she made her very first friends at this place.

Momo and Sana were looking all around searching for Mina as the dining hall gradually emptied out. "Let's ask Jihyo" Sana said point to the group of three as they were leaving the hall as well.
"How would she know?" Momo glared at Sana asking her to be more serious.
"Don't be like that.... I saw her with them earlier, they were showing her around."
Momo got up and motioned her to follow her. Both of them approached the three as they were already outside in the hallway.
"Hey Jihyo, do you happen to know where is Mina?" Jihyo and Nayeon were first a bit shocked as the Japanese princesses never had a conversation with them before, but Jihyo's reaction changed when she heard about Mina.
"Why do you think I will know about her?"
"Because I saw you with her and her" Sana said pointing to Tzuyu. Momo slapped her hand and glared at her.
" It isn't very courteous to point at someone."
She turned towards Tzuyu"sorry princess...."
"Tzuyu" Tzuyu said with a smile."I am the princess of Taiwan, it's my first year here, it's nice to meet you."
Momo smiled."I am Momo and she is Sana, we belong from Southern estate of Japan, it's very nice to meet you too."
Nayeon got back everyone's attention with a scoff. "It will be nice if you teach some of your politeness to Mina too" Sana was a bit offended, so she said
"Mina is just a bit introverted, that's all.... Why are you.."
"she was being straight up rude." Jihyo cut in between.
"But last time I visited her, she was such a sweet kid." Momo said with uncertainty. Jihyo just sighed and patted Momo's shoulder.
"People change with time."
"But how was she being rude?"Sana butted in, pretending to think hard.
"She acted like this place wasn't worth for her to live in, you would know if you saw her behaviour" Nayeon said frustrated.
"Go get ready for the class, no use talking about useless people." Jihyo said as she turned away followed by Nayeon and Tzuyu. Just when they turned the scene made everybody gasp in surprise. Mina was standing there, teary eyed staring at them. Her eyes made contact with Tzuyu's and that moment she was sure they really misunderstood her.
"I am sorry" Mina said with her voice shaking. As she turned and ran away.
Every one was unsure of what to do or say as an heavy silence covered up. "Maybe... We misunderstood." Tzuyu said looking down, in a small voice.

Jungyeon, Dahyun and Chaeyoung laughed as Jungyeon joked about a professor, who was dismissed due to his sleeping habits. Jungyeon was leading the way and when she turned around the corner...BAMM!!! a girl crashed into her, she stumbled back but Chaeyoung caught her from falling.
"Damn, how many times do I have to bump into someone in a single day." Jungyeon said frustrated. Mina looked at her after regaining her balance, her eyes still teary.
Dahyun gasped as she saw a single drop roll down from her left eye and then they were rolling down continuosly as she looked down and murmured " I am sorry, sorry, really sorry"
Jungyeon panicked at seeing her cry. "H-hey did I hurt you? Are you okay? Do you need to go to the doctor's room?" Mina just shook her head in denial as the tears didn't stop.
"no-no, my fault... Sorry" she said as she ran away from them too. Leaving them staring behind her.
