Gayoon stared at her ceiling where drawings were painted and was pissed for no reason, well, there is a reason but it wouldn't make any sense if she complained it to anyone. I mean, look at that ing ceiling, why would you paint a baby holding a bow and arrows? Why are there paintings of half men and women and the corners of the room? Was this room an 'entertainment' room before she was born? Its so ing absurd!
Sighing, she looked outside her veranda and remembered a part of her past where she and her late mother would usually go outside the wide field and ride horses together. Since she wanted good vibes to herself on that day, she changed herself into a horse riding attire and went to the stable to pick out her favorite horse, a tall, black horse with a white spot that looks like a lightning near its bum.
"Have you seen my horse, Bolt?" She asks the worker but was only replied with a nervous head shake. She grunted in annoyance and said, "Do you peasants even work in here?" And kicked a bucket of carrots that fell straight to the drain. "Then have you seen Philip?" She glared at the men, they nodded and obediently jogged to take the mini stairs and equipments for her, while the other took out the horse she wanted out of its stable. "Get back to work, lazy hags.." She hissed, then trotted to a secluded area and then headed to the forest for a little walk around.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) "But! Aren't you curious?" Jieun asked. "C'mon! At least just for two hours?" Jieun tried to persuade. "I'll sneak out and then umma and appa won't know." She told him. "I really really want to go there!" She said, pouting slightly.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun blinked in confusion. "I don't think that kingdom is dangerous.. Perhaps a little" she said. Jieun was as stubborn as a mule once she's made a decision. "But.. Can't we just go there once , and keep a low profile?" She asked.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun smiled. "You're welcome~" she said with a smile. Then, she sighed at his answer. "Alright then.. I shall go by myself." She said. "I'm thinking about going over there for about three days!" She continued. "Hmm.. I'll be taking Stardust..and...I shall sneak out of the castle." She said and nodded. "It's decided then! I shall go to the Kuro kingdom by myself, and I'll stay there for three days and I shall bring Stardust along with me" she concluded.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) The maid hesitated for a while. Jieun turned to her younger brother and unlinked their hand, ruffling his hair slightly. "Okay.. I'll skip my lessons for my precious younger brother." She said and smiled at him. She turned to the maid. "Tell Head Attendant Choi that I shall be skipping my lessons today." She told her and the maid nodded and excused herself, running off to inform Head Attendant Choi. Jieun turned to Junhong. "Dongsaeng-ah.. Can..you..bring me over to the Kuro kingdom? I wish to see what it's like over there.. If you won't.. I'll just go myself."she said.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun nodded. "I hope you will then.." She said and smiled. "Well..alright then.." She said and followed him. Then, a maid came running up. "Good Afternoon, Your majesties." She said and bowed. "Princess Jieun has to go for her princess lessons now.." The maid informed.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun smiled. "Then it's the perfect time for you to learn!" She said. "I hereby decree Nightfury shall serve as Prince Junhong's horse." She said with a fake serious face. "From now on, Nightfury is all yours, dongsaeng." She told him as they walked out from the stables hand-in-hand. "So.. Where are we off to now...?" She asked.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun smiled softly. "He's all yours~ since you don't have a horse." She said with a smile as she watched the two attendants guide the two horses into the stables and into their stalls. "Yes she is.. She's a little..feisty." She told him.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun got off Stardust as an attendant came and brought Stardust into the stables. She smiled at her younger brother. "It wasn't so bad now was it?" She asked. She truly hoped he had gotten over his fear, the only reason why she had suggested about her horses anyway. "Junhong-ah.. Do you like Nightfury?" She asked.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun blinked a few times. She shook her head firmly. "Get on Nightfury, Junhong." She said strictly as she climbed onto Stardust who was taking little steps easily. She gently took the reins and bridle from Zelo and gestured for him to sit on Nightfury instead. Stardust trot about and then stopped. Jieun made her gallop , this time on her own will and Stardust galloped to the castle stables but waiting for Zelo every now and then.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun nodded and pat her younger's brother's head even though she had to tiptoe. "Yea.. Well at least you're fine with riding Nightfury now." She said with a smile. "C'mon, lets go back. You must be tired.." She said as she grabbed hold of Stardust's reins and bridle and prepared herself to walk.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun stopped her horse who was still thrashing about. She got off her horse and went in front of it and held its head. "Stardust, what's wrong?" She said as she gently its head. Stardust neighed and breathed heavily. Jieun gently pet Stardust and then turned to look at her surroundings. She was in the middle of nowhere.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun nodded and smiled. "Your welcome, kiddo~" she said. Then, her horse Stardust suddenly galloped off. Her eyes widen in surprise as her horse went out of control. Stardust stood on her two hind legs but Jieun held on tightly. Her horse then, galloped off , really fast as Jieun clung on tightly.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun smiled and kept quiet, not saying a single thing about letting go of the reins and bridle. "It isn't so bad, now is it?" She said. "See? You're doing well even when I'm not holding the reins and bridle." She told him and gestured for him to see that her hand was no longer holding the reins and bridle of Nightfury.
@choi dongwook She remained still for her friend so that he could get used to her form, smiling on the inside at his sweet compliment. From where she was standing it was quite pleasant; a beautiful morning and a handsome man saying incredibly nice things to her. However she was unable to speak so she simply nodded her head and gently nuzzled him with her head.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun knew her younger far too well. "Yah.. Stop lying.." She said. She stopped her horse and got off. She was still holding the reins and bridle as she climbed on to Stardust. "We'll slowly walk instead of gallop away..okay?" She said as she gently placed Zelo's hand on the reins and bridle. "Nightfury's one of the tamest stallion alive, so.. You don't have to worry about his temper cause Stardust here, has a mighty bad temper.." She said as she gently Stardust's mane. "Okay..lets.. Go." She said as she made the two horses walk. "See? It's not that bad now is it?" She said and smiled. She let go of Nightfury's reins and bridle, after a few minutes, making sure Junhong didn't notice her doing it.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun laughed a little as she got off her horse. "Nightfury is a strong horse, for your information." She said jokingly. "Hmm.. I'll ride with you on the same horse, alright?" She said and helped him onto Nightfury and then getting up behind him and held the reins and bridle in an almost back-hugging position. She turned to Stardust and signaled for her to follow them and then she galloped off on Nightfury, Stardust galloping after them.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun then, galloped off since Stardust was getting impatient. She stopped halfway and turned to look at how her younger was doing. She noticed he hasn't taken a few steps yet. She turned stardust around and went over to him. "You okay?" She asked,
@choi dongwook "Of course you can groom me." she giggled and also took a step back, giving him a playfully wink. Slowly her body began to grow, change and take form. Her limbs became longer and larger as dark black hair grew all over her skin. A long mane and tail soon followed and after almost a minute she stood before him as an obsidian colored mare. She waited patiently, standing completely still for him to get used to her.
@choi dongwook His story was common and she understood where he was coming from. Boah held him close for comfort and spoke to him softly. "If I become a horse then you know I like you so that should held." she said. "I think that would be a good place to starts."
@choi dongwook She rubbed his arm soothingly and escorted him to an empty field where they could be uninterrupted. "What is it about them that scares you so?" Boah asked curiously. Knowing the source of his fear could help her solve his problems.
@choi dongwook His request caught her by surprise and she had to blink a few times as her brain worked over what he wanted. "How should I do that? Wouldn't you be scared of me if I was a horse too?" she asked him curiously, knowing that it was one of her forms.
@choi dongwook She stepped closer to her cowering friend and placed her hand gently on his shoulder to calm him. "It's alright, sweetie." the princess cooed softly to him and nudged him carefully back out of the building.
@choi dongwook With her new home so nearby it made coming to spend time with Zephyr and the other horses at the stables so much easier. Every morning she was able to come out even before breakfast to run and play with her hooved friends. She was just letting her companion out of the stall when she saw Dongwook out of the corner of her eye and closed it back again. Boah blinked curiously, wondering what on earth he was doing near so many horses when he wasn't exactly comfortable with them.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun nodded and brought Stardust out of her stall and then brought Nightfury out of his stall. She got led them out slowly and carefully. Once they were out of the stables, she got onto Stardust easily and she turned to her younger brother. "Why don't you ride Nightfury?" She suggested before her horse galloped off.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun chuckled. "I knew you'd say that." She said and placed a sugar cube in his free hand. "I'm going to bring Stardust and Nightfury out for a walk. Want to come along?" She asked. "I'll go get the saddle and briddle." She said and quickly took Stardust's saddle and bridle and put it on her, and then , doing the same thing for Nightfury.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Nightfury nuzzled its head onto Junhong's palm making Jieun smile softly. "Stardust, go over there and greet him too." She whispered and her white mare went over to him, poking its head on his back, calling for his attention. Jieun took out a sugar cube and placed it on Junhong's palm. "Go ahead and feed one of them" she said and took out another sugar cube , waiting for Junhong to feed one of the horses before she fed the one he didn't feed.
@choi junhong ( zelo ) Jieun entered the stables with her younger brother walking in after her. She was holding a bag of sugar cubes. She walked over to a horse stall where there was a pure snowy white mare and the other stall where there was a black sooty stallion. "Hey Stardust! Hey Nightfury!" She greeted. Her black stallion neighed and went closer to the gate while her white horse , Stardust, ignored her angrily. Jieun sighed and opened the gates to her white mare and went in to her mane. "Sorry for not visiting you guys lately but see? I brought sugar cubes!" She told her horse. Her white mare brightened up and nuzzled its nose onto the bag of sugar cube. Jieun laughed and brought it away. "Junhong-ah! This is Stardust, my white mare. Stardust, this is my younger brother Junhong." She introduced them to each other. "And that horse over there is Nightfury, my black stallion." She told him , pointing to her black stallion.
