@♚ Yixing "Huh? Oh, sure" Xiumin responded, raising his head to catch the back image of the star pupil leaving. Eyes coming back to his desk, the teacher paused when he saw a package placed there that wasn't there previously. Popping his red pen down, the man picked it up and brought the parcel closer, unwrapping it and eyes widening when he saw a brownie. Wriggling in his chair he knew before he even saw the timetable that it would be from Yixing, who else would give him a brownie? Chomping away at the treat, the man seemed more alive now as the sugary treat went through him, looking over the timetable given to see what lessons where possible and when. Dusting off his hands on his trousers, the man collected the pop quizzes for marking he'd do later before standing, heading to find the library and with it the French-loving male too.

@⁂ Xiumin Lay wrote out the homework, surprised that they were being let out early after just half an hour of pop quiz. He kind of wanted to ask if they could start now, for the rest of the lesson, but instead thought that weekend would be more plausible as the other seemed to be half asleep and trying to mark. So he waited for the rest to leave before pushing a small, square package across the teacher's desk. He'd have to unwrap it first, but it was another brownie the man had picked up on his way to class. With that, he left the sheet with his french lines and timetable on the desk and waved.
"See you later Baozi, I'll be in the library. My next free is next, but if you need to mark, I'm free this weekend too" came his soft voice as he swiftly excited.

@♚ Yixing The teacher sat up and rubbed his eyes quietly when the first alarm went off, looking over to see Yixing had indeed finished and looked happy about it as well. Standing up after silencing the alarm, the brunette quietly looked over the students he passed before reaching the taller's desk, scooping up his paper with another yawn and glancing over it, leaving it to mark later. Returning to his desk, he set it down on the oak desk and rested his chin in his palm as he waited for the others to finish, repeating the collection of papers when the time was up. Xiumin glanced at the clock and told the students to get their diaries out to write down their homework reminders he'd popped on the board.
"You can go early since you had a quiz, enjoy an early lunch. I'll see you all on Monday" The man sat down at his desk as he waved the boys and girls off, ruffling his hair as he pushed his glasses into place and cracked a couple of his fingers, ready to begin marking.

@⁂ Xiumin Seeing that his teacher had shortened, his time, he eagerly nodded and began. It wasn't an easy pop quiz either, and it wasn't that Yixing didn't know the stuff, it was the time constraint that made it a challenge. He focused for 15 minutes solid, blocking out all other thoughts and sounds until it was done. Looking over it for the last few minutes, he made the last few corrections and smiled. He'd finished just in time.
Tilting his head to Baozi, he indicated that he was finished without speaking and disrupting the other students, waiting for the teacher to collect his paper before he started doodling on it or something and, taking out his notepad, he excitedly tried to recakl what little french he had learned as the other students finished, managing a self introduction and a few key phrases, perhaps with an accent or too missing, in the last ten minutes

@♚ Yixing "You may begin" Xiumin nodded to the classroom but rolled his eyes playfully at the royal to his side, holding up two fingers and signalling that instead of thirty minutes like everyone else had to do their task, the other had only twenty minutes to do his. No matter how good he was, the smaller man was pushing his limits, even he would find some difficulty in managing the amount of needed for the task and in a reduced time.
"Don't forget I need a copy of your timetable" The brunette murmured as he stuffed his hands back into his pockets and his heels, walking along the rows of desks and away from Yixing to his own desk. Settled in his seat, the man rested his head in his arms again and began to fall asleep, having previously set an alarm to wake him up when the star pupil would be done and then one ten minutes later for the others. The soft morning sunlight streamed through the classroom's windows, warming the teacher as he slept quietly, his fringe falling over the bruise on his forehead even more, chubby cheeks puffed out an extra bit as he inhaled and exhaled slowly.

@⁂ Xiumin Lay slept solidly through out the night with a soft smile on his majestic face and his clothes bundled around him. By the time he slowly woke, he'd had more rest than he actually needed and was up and in the shower before his alarm bell rang for waking time. The student hadn't forgotten his teacher's promise and brushed up a little extra on his Mandarin before heading to his first class, even arriving early.
He smiled fondly as the teacher had styled his hair to cover where the ball had hit, assuming a bruise had formed in it's place as he'd been looking to check on the other. Hearing his teacher mention a pop quiz, Yixing groaned with the rest, but without real anguish as the other's did; even if Xiumin had announced they were doing a full on mock examination and writing a three thousand character essay for homework, he wouldn't have minded in the slightest. He was in that good of a mood. And it showed through the soft smile and him looking up when Xiumin handed the paper down.
"Morning, Baozi." he called softly, "Say when to start."

@Yixing: The next day came swiftly, Xiumin having fallen asleep for a portion of the night on the rooftoop, only to wake up in the chilly morning and head downstairs. He'd stayed up for a while, having been practicing his French for his star student. It was safe to say, the man was literally asleep with his head in his arms on his desk, his hair having been styled to cover up the bruise on his forehead he'd gotten from playing tennis the day before. Yawning as the bell rung and students began filing in for their Mandarin lesson and took their seats.
"Settle down, settle down. Time for another pop quiz" The room was filled with groans as the man chuckled and stood up with a pile of papers in his hand, handing them out to the girls and boys of the classroom. The last paper he handed out was for Yixing, not the usual quiz but one filled with questions about paragraphs that dealt with his personal life, what he wanted to do in the future and so on. Simple topics but with the need of precise details, something the sllabus wanted of someone at his grade.

Fei walks her way into the classroom late as usual. She sits down, flings her hair and puts her feet up on the desk. Fei plays a game on her phone obviously bored already.

@♞ Baekhyun As the final bell rang, Luhan sank in his seat a litte more when the majority of the class fled in happiness. His brown orbs were fixated on the random items scattered across the wooden desk - pencils, pens, a notebook with random doodles rather than actual notes, papers, and a four by four rubix cube. There was also his phone which couldn't stop flashing text notifications from people who offered to hang out after school. But he felt too tired to think. With his peripheral vision, he notced that a few students have stayed in because of that huge exam that was about to take place in a few days. It never came to an understanding for him; the reason why so many students stress out over a little thing in paper. The questions aren't that difficult to begin with anyway. Then again, Luhan was always considered intelligent ever since he knew how to talk. He was just too lazy and too focused on the fun side of things to actually put effort into his work. With being a royal as well, he was torn in making a decision to succeed and be unhappy or be haply but not succeed. It was definitely an internal conflict he despised. Letting out a heavy sigh in the quiet surrounding, his eyes suddenly wandered to a certain person in the room. The person sat only two people away from where he was sitting, and Luhan always found their nose sticking inside a book. Not just in classrooms either. Baekhyun - if he could clearly remember it. He had a reputation of being one of the smartest, most hard-working kids in all of Jeguk. And that was an impressive title to hold. Some people have also said that he's too into his studies that he never has time for himself. "Hm. Not even a trip to the movies?" Luhan accidentally blurted out his thoughts, which caused a few kids to glare at him strangely. Now flushed and embarrassed, he coughed in an obnoxious manner to hide his mistake and quickly. He then placed his focus on the rubix cube by retrieving it, randomly flippng the sides just to look like he was minding his own business. In the back of his mind, he hoped that no one else had heard.

@♚ Siwon Victoria look up at Siwon as soon he announced his schedul for that day and felt slightly worried about her best friend.She wonder if he will be okay with this marriage since she knew that the other never like this kind of things.All she can do at that moment was pray so that he will be happy with each decision that already being make.There's no way she want to see the other being all sad or even hurt.

Victoria just smile at the other before turn her head towards the Pyeha and Tae-Hung mama again.Her smile slightly dropped when the king asking about her marriage but quickly give the other a soft smile again before shaking her head slightly.

"I'm sorry,Pyeha but I still didn't know who that person is.My parents never say anything about him beside...he's tall and one of the heirs in the school that I attend at the moment,"she saying the truth with a calm tone.

@♚ Victoria The King and the Princess spoke with each other happily and the Prince kept thinking of the wedding please that he needed to arrange. The Prince stood up nicely after the two had finished talking.

"I'll be going now, Ahba-mama, Eomma-Mama, Qian. I'll be preparing the wedding plans." The Prince bowed and left through the door. The Eunuch had met up with the prince before and had announced his schedule, He didn't want to be late. He had yet still to canvass the remaining middle ranges of information that was given to him.

The King bid his son goodbye before he started to talk with the neglected Princess again.

"Who are you going to marry, Victoria?" He spoke in chinese.

@♚ Siwon "I will Tae-Hung mama and my mother sending regards to you.She's being missing you all this years,"she say smiling when the Queen touched her hair like that,so gentle like a mother will do.Victoria love it when people touching her head and willingly to let anyone touching it.

The Queen and Victoria stand up as soon hear the announcement being made.She glance at Siwon and just sighed at the other attitude before slapped the other arms lightly.

After the king take a sit at the middle,all of them also sit down and start to smile towards each other.

"I'm doing well,Pyeha.Thank you for the concern,"she say while smile softly at the other.She respect the king and always act politely each time she meet with the other.

"How are you doing,Pyeha?Everything is okay?"she asked again with a soft tone.

@♚ Victoria "I .... coming here alone." The princess looked down and the Queen exhaled a sigh.
"I understand, If she does come, Tell her to take a visit." The queen stated smiling as she touched the princess's hair. The Prince was too busy using his earphones and he silently bounced his head up and down to the beat.

"Royal Highness, The King ..has arrived." The palace maid announced and the Queen and the Chinese Princess stood up. Qian slapped the Prince's arm and he immediately stood up. All of them bowed as Pyeha walked in and smiled at Qian.

"How have you been child?" The king laughed before taking a sit at the middle couch.

@♚ Siwon Victoria give the Prince a glare but soon become a polite girl in front of the Queen again.She already thought the other like her own mother and love her as much she love her real mother,the Queen of Song Royal family.

"I'm being great,Tae-Hung Mama.Everything going well here,"she say in Chinese a bit too cheerful.She always being all bouncy and hyper whenever she's in front of the Queen.Even her didn't know why she do that.

"Ah..that,"she rubbed the back of her neck slightly before smile at the other.

"I..coming here alone,"she looked down as didn't know if she should look at the other reaction or not.She know that the two will shocked to hear that since she never being leave alone and always has someone to follow her whenever she goes.

@♚ Victoria "Tae-hung Mama" Qian said in amusement and the Queen looked pleased.

"How have you been?" The Queen spoke in a traditional chinese and Qian was caught of guard which made the Prince laugh.

"Is your mother in town? I would really like to meet her again." The queen stated smiling.

@♚ Siwon "If he lied,he will never get to answer all my question to him,aigoo,"she say between Chinese and Korean which sound a little bit weird to hear but didn't even realized about that.

"That's fast,"she just mumbled those words while puffing her cheeks a bit,felt a bit down that they might has a hard time to meet each other again if one of them get married that fast.

Victoria want to ask who that person was but decided to let it passed for that day since know Siwon will never like to talk about that kind of things with her.

"The Queen must take care this Goong a lot,"she say again feeling amused at that even though her itself actually a crown princess.

Victoria just followed the Eunuch towards the Queen's quarters and felt happy as soon she saw the Queen was sitting in the quarter,waiting for the two of them.

"Annyeonghaseyo,Tae-Hung mama.Keulaun gongju(Crown princess) from Song's Royal family come to meet with you,"even with that excitement,Victoria never forget to be a polite person and give the Queen a big bow before sit beside the Queen.

"Tae-Hung mama,"she just keep calling the Queen name with happiness when saw those beautiful woman she ever meet.

@♚ Victoria "Aish! Did my korean that bad!? I Kept practice it, you know and that person understand me really well" Qian said in Chinese and the prince finally understood what she said.
"That person probably was lying to you." He replied in Mandarin.

"By the way, how your life here.? Still....." She spoke in understandable Mandarin and the prince frowned. Arrange marriage... Siwon wasn't a big fan of it.

"I think I might get married earlier this year..." The prince trailed on, implying to drop the subject and they did. They had finally arrived at the palace.

"Nothing change and it's really beautoful! Like always..." Siwon nodded in agreement, even though he had lived there for the past years of his life, he was still fascinated by the interior and the exterior design of Goong.

The Eunuch lead the two to the Queen's quarters. They couldn't meet the King since he was still in Ulsan, Setting ties through Charity.

"The Crowned Prince and Princess Qian of the Song Royal Family has arrived" The Queen's maid announced before the two entered the Queen's quarters.

The Queen and Qian sat beside each other as the prince sat opposite to them, amused by the two women.

@♚ Siwon "Aish!Did my Korean that bad?I kept practice it,you know..and that person understand me really well," she say in Chinese.

She was glaring at the other but the last sentences make she avoid the gaze while murmured it,didn't know why but feeling nervous when saying something about that person.

"By the way,how your life here?Still.."Victoria just let that words passed since she sure the other know what her mean is.Arranged married's meeting,she wonder if the other still went to that kind of meeting.

The ride was not that far and a few minutes later,they already arrived and stand outside of the car,in front of the palace.

"Nothing change and it's really beautiful!Like always,"she mumbled to herself,already start to speak Chinese freely while looking around the palace which being her playground with the Prince when they still a child.

@♚ Victoria "I felt bad but that was something that I will never let it passed just like that!" Qian said as she nodded her head. She picked the Prince's cheeks and he chuckled.

"I still can't understand your Korean. Just speak in Chinese." The prince stated laughing a bit and the older glared at him.

"I never knew that you still has this chubby cheeks." She joked before dragging the prince out of class. Some of their classmates watched the two exit the room and they started to murmur around them. The pair didn't care though, they were both royals anyways, One from China, and one from Korea.

"I;am a lucky on that brought something the Queen really like today!~" Qian jumped in happiness as she dragged the prince who obediently followed.

The Royal car was already there. One of the Prince's body guards opened the door for them and helped them both get in. They headed for the palace and in a few minutes, They had arrived.

@♚ Siwon Victoria blinked her eyes for a moment before grinned at the other which the only smile she give him and nobody had seen it.Like always,her mother will never like it if she smile like that to anyone.

'That's not a ladylike,young lady,' which was the words that her mother keep saying if she saw her smiling like that.

"I felt bad but that was something that I will never let it passed just like that!"she nodded her head firmly and chuckled before give the other a light pinched on his cheeks.

"I never knew that you still has this chubby cheeks,"she say jokingly while pushing the other out from the class as soon he hung up from the phone.

"I'm a lucky one that brought something the Queen really like today!~"she say happily while dragged the other out from the school without care about the gaze they get from all of the student.

@♚ Victoria "We could go visit her now if you'd like, missing a day in school wouldn't kill us." The prince smugly smiled. He had missed his dear friend to much that he could skip a whole day because of it. His mother would certainly like to see Qian again, His father might even ask them to join him for a horse back race.

Siwon smiled as he reached for his phone and immediately called the palace's Eunuch.

"I'm heading home, I have a friend who wants to meet the Queen."

@♚ Siwon "I think it's always the same?When I on the way to the airport,the road seem much busier than before,"she said and nodded as recalled the last time she look at the scenery of Beijing from inside of the car.

Victoria felt slightly embarrassed if someone asked her about her hometown.It's not like she didn't know anything about it,she know everything but never saw what she already learn from the special agent who was her teacher.

"It sure hard to meet the crown prince now,huh?"she nudged the other side playfully and smile at that.Siwon seem much matured now than before and always try to act like a crown prince should be.

"Ah!Saying about The Queen,how's she?I really missed her a lot!"she asked when remember about Siwon's mother that she's close with when she's still in Korea.

@♚ Victoria "You sure changed a lot. Much taller now." She said and Siwon smiled. Her funny korean was getting in the way of their conversation.
Siwon remembered the times that she thought her chinese as he thought her korean, they communicated stupidly but their mothers helped them alot.


"I know I know, I understand. How's Beijing? I really wanted to visit you but Mother told me that prince's should stay in Korea until their not married... and what not. " Siwon exaggeratedly said.

@♚ Siwon Victoria just make a sulking face when hear those words and laughing lightly after that before just shrugged it.

"Not like someone will see though,"she say jokingly but smile afterwards when hear those two words.

She hugged the other tightly,missing the other too much that she didn't even want to let him go although for a few seconds.

"You sure changed a lot.Much taller now,"she added and chuckled before patted the other head teasingly.

"And I miss you too.Sorry,you know my parents.They took my cellphone since didn't want me to connect with the outside world,"she just sighed but still smiling at the other.

@♚ Victoria Siwon laughed. "You know we can't do it like we used to. I am the crowned Prince." The two exchanged straight faces before laughing hard.
"Come here" Siwon said in Chinese and the two shared a hug.

"I've missed you, you didn't contact me for the past few years" Siwon stated

@♚ Siwon Victoria put down the phone when she hear some chuckled behind her,mostly she will greet that person but,since she were messaging with someone she want some alone time and greet the other later.It might seem rude for her but she can't help the feeling about talk again with the prince.

Her phone was ringing again and she take to read it before blinked her eyes.She didn't even saying that she were in a room but the prince already know about it.

Victoria just replied the message even though she felt slightly confused.She can hear a footstep that coming near her from the back.That make her mind snapped and smile by herself.

"Room 304...why?.....Hmm I guess we're classmates then,"bingo,even she had didn't hear that voice for years but she still can recognize it easily.

Victoria turn her head at the owner of the voice before grinned as saw the other also grinning to her.

"Siwon!"she almost jump on the other but still managed to take care of her manner and just stand up in front of the other being all excited.

"Mind give me some hug?"she asked playfully with the Chinese accent in her Korean's words.

@♚ Victoria Someone walked in as his phone buzzed. She had replied too quickly. Was this girl eager again?
"Just want to say that we might meet each other again today!~^^" She texted and he chuckled silently.
The prince watched someone walk to the front of the class and sit down. NEw student probably, The prince thought.

'What room are you?' he typed back lazily as he rested his back on the chair.

He heard something buzz and saw the girl picking up her phone. That wouldn't make sense, he just texted... Qian.. maybe it was her.

The prince got up from his seat and walked cautiously towards the woman sitting in front. He calmly stood behind her as she sent another text.

The prince received it and he read it out loud,
"Room 304... why?..... Hmm I guess we're classmates then." The girl turned to look at him and their eyes met, and the two looked at each other, grinning

@♚ Siwon Victoria was on the moment to open the class but stop when her phone was buzzing,the signal that she got a new message.The curious as always,she open the text and read it carefully but smile brightly when saw who was the owner of the message.

"Thought he's busy,"she mumbled while typing something and enter the class in the same time,didn't even realized that there's someone inside of it.

'Just want to say that we might meet with each other again today!~^^' she sent it and take a seat at the front of the class which being placed beside the window.

She just hummed some Chinese song while looked out through the window,feeling excited to meet other once again.Siwon always be the only best friend she ever had in this world but they lost contact for a moment when she had to return back to the China.

She just playing with the phone and sometimes will looking through it,still waiting a reply from the other.

@♚ Victoria Siwon finally had enough of the buzzing sound and took out his Iphone to find out that the Princess, Song Qian, had been messaging and calling him. he stared at it for awhile, but didn't know what to reply. They haven't seen in each other in a long time, She had gone back to China 4 years ago, back when they were only 15 years old. The prince had felt lonely after Victoria went away, she was his only source of happiness around Goong, since there were no other kids his age. They would often play around together and visit each others home. The queen favored Qian, She thought that the princess was a ball of energy that couldn't be stopped.
The princess played a very important role in the prince's life since she thought him Chinese.

He was about to call her back when his phone buzzed again.
"Won, this me, Victoria. Don't say that you already forget about me?" Siwon smiled to himself, the girl still wasn't fluent in korean. The prince admired the princess' broke Korean simply because it was entertaining.

"I'm currently at school, what do you want? :DD" The prince typed back.

As he was about to call her
