A story about nine princesses who were enrolled in an University of Royalties. Reluctant to even talk to each other at first they realise that they find a soothing comfort in each other. The university which they hated the most, gradually becomes th...
Nayeon was sitting at her art class and listening to the mentor speaking about nature and how he wanted their pieces to be. Unknowingly Nayeon's eyes travelled towards the forest. She made a mental note to herself that she would visit it after this class. It would also help her with the topic.
After the class ended Nayeon hurried towards the forest, she wanted to visit it for a while and yesterday's conversation had her unable to suppress the urge.
She was walking towards the forest when she saw the green house. She wasn't sure if she would find Chaeyoung and Dahyun there but decided to take a peak.
Not only Chaeyoung and Dahyun but Momo, Sana and Jungyeon were also there.
"On your way to the forest?" Chaeyoung asked. Which took Nayeon by surprise.
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Because, Momo came here to go to the forest as well but decided to meet us and Sana also planned to visit the forest. So did Jungyeon. So..." Dahyun said.
"So let's go there" Jungyeon said.
As they were walking towards the forest they saw Jihyo and Tzuyu coming from another direction.
" Are you planning to go to the forest too?" Sana asked.
"You all too?" Tzuyu said a bit amazed.
"Wow... Such a coincidence." Momo said a bit amazed.
"Actually... After Mina mentioned the forest yesterday... I suddenly wanted to go there." Jihyo admitted.
"Yeah, like the forest is the only thing in my mind since this morning" Jungyeon agreed with her.
"Should we wait for Mina too? I mean she might be on her way.... Afterall she is the one who suggested it after all." Chaeyoung suggested.
"We can wait for sometime." Sana agreed
....
Mina submitted the form of the classes that she picked to the so called senior mentor. "I heard that you were sick." She asked in a firm voice. Mina was nervous already and the way she talked to her made her really scared.
"Yes... I fainted." She said in a low voice.
"Okay, take care of yourself. You may leave now."
Mina bowed and hurried back to her room. Since her schedule was free she decided to take a look at the forest, maybe she would go a little more deeper.
So Mina kept walking deeper. As if she knew her exact destination and the exact route.
Just how dense is the forest? The thought crossed her mind at some point but she didn't turn back but kept walking.
After sometime she saw patches of different coloured flowers. There were so many flowers. But the flowers of a particular colour were together. So it created distinct coloured flower bed.
Mina stepped near the purple colour flowers, admiring them.

Suddenly, there was a change in the atmosphere. The sweet chirping of the birds stopped as silence took over. It was odd, Mina thought. In normal circumstances she would be scared but right now.... It felt different. It felt.... Peaceful.
She glanced back towards the flowers. Her eyes were wide and her mouth fell open. The flowers were... glowing. They were glowing. It was like a dream... It was so beautiful, so ethereal. The faint light illuminating from the flowers felt good, she was mesmerized.
There was a gust of wind as a path was created in the grass. As if there were some unearthly forces.
Mina looked at the path, it was calling for her to follow. She wanted to go there so badly but the primal fear took over. She almost stepped in the path but was quick to pull apart. Surely whatever was happening wasn't normal, she was all alone and no one even knew she was there.
So she ran and didn't looked back, she ran without looking back before she was enchanted by the forest. She didn't quite follow any route nor did she remembered. She ran wherever her feet took her.
But the forest didn't stopped her, it let her go. Because it knew she would return back. Because she belonged there at sometime. She would come back with everyone else.
After running for a while, she slowed down. But she didn't stop. She still didn't knew where was she or where she was going. But after a little while she found her way back as she stepped out of the forest.
Mina didn't expected anyone to be there when she came out. That area was kind of secluded. The closest human can be located in the green house. But her friends were there. They all were there chatting among themselves. Mina had never felt such relief before, seeing people.
They also wore a surprised expression on their faces. They didn't expect Mina to come out of the forest.
"You were inside the forest?" Chaeyoung asked.
"It's enchanted" Mina said panting a bit.
"What?"
"Did you fell asleep in the forest?"
"Are you okay?"
"Did something happen there?"
"Did you saw a wild animal or something?"
Immediately questions after questions started all at once. But suddenly a loud voice silenced them.
"LET HER SPEAK" it was Jihyo's voice and everyone got silent at that.
"Wow..." Tzuyu mumbled, however everyone heard that. Jihyo herself was a bit embarrassed, but nonetheless she cleared her throat and asked in a moderate voice.
"Uh... Mina, tell us what happened there."
"The flowers there were... glowing."
Mina said everything she witnessed. Explaining every detail and everyone listened carefully, awestruck. It all sounded so... Aesthetic, so... Unreal.
".... and somehow I managed to get back." Mina completed.
Chaeyoung hugged Mina tightly. "Atleast you are back." She whispered before letting her go.
"Should we go and check...?" Jungyeon asked, addressing the question to everyone.
"Uh... It's pretty deep inside and I don't know if we will be able to return before dark." Mina said.
"Yeah, although there aren't any animals in the forest but it could be pretty dangerous especially when we are dealing with something... Magical?" Nayeon suggest as everyone agreed with her.
"Let's go this Sunday, at early morning so we will have enough time to figure out everything." Jihyo said.
"Tomorrow?" Dahyun asked reminding everyone that tomorrow was the said day.
"Uh-huh,yeah tomorrow then." Jihyo said as everyone agreed to that.
"I think we should head back for now." Momo said.
"We were about to go back anyways." Tzuyu retorted as everyone laughed while going back.
