@♕ Johnny Seo “What is a girl like you doing in a place like this?” hearing the male saying those words, had the smaller female glaring daggers at him. If looks could kill, he would probably be buried so deep by now. “What does that mean, what do you mean a girl like me?” She tried her best to cool down to keep a cool aura and to appear confident, but with all the lately events it was hard to even be that.

“And why would you even ask, it’s not like your business” she said, her voice much more calm and even the look on her face, almost serene. Turning around to give her attention to the mare, she couldn’t help but notice the male’s ruffled hair and his appearance, like someone who had been immensely enjoying himself, almost like he didn’t had a single care in all this world.

Patting and caressing the animal before her, Hyolyn still had her mind on Johnny the guy who suddenly appeared before her when she hadn’t expected it, but taking his looks, his position and status, it wasn’t a wonder why he wouldn’t be somewhere like that place. If anyone should be there then it was him. He was known with his way with women or so said the rumors. “Did my father send you to look up what mischief his little good girl was up to?” She finally asked, knowing she wouldn’t feel better if she didn’t knew.

@♕ Kim Hyolyn The view of the weather from his 20th floor office was killing him. Sunny, warm, pleasant weather taunted him as the summer dwindled and autumn began. Thankfully, the warmth lingered for today: one of the few weekends he was able to squeeze out of work for himself.

What better way than taking a long ride along the numerous trails the mansion had on its sprawling property? He was just returning from the ride, walking beside the beautiful chestnut stallion and lavishing the beast with pets and gentle compliments. He laughs as the animal lets out an impatient huff when they reenter the stables. “I know you’re tired—me too, bud, me too,” Johnny soothes, patting the stallion’s sturdy neck.

He looked up ahead for an empty stall, instead finding a woman looking right at him as she tends to her mare. A woman that resembled someone... he... knew?

“Hyolyn?” He asks, stopping in his tracks. Hyolyn was here, at the mansion. What did that mean— was she complicit in the inappropriate acts that happen in these walls? “What is a girl like you doing in a place like this?” He meant it more in confusion than concern or condemnation.

@♕ Johnny Seo Recently Hyolyn started frequenting the, but so far she hadn't even so much as joined in anything, not even conversations, and was frustrating her. It was like even her own mind was mocking her about what a 'good' girl she was and how she couldn't get out of the box she had closed herself in for yeats. With the shake of her head, she let out a sigh and headed toward that one place that seemed to relax her and restore her good mood. A smile was already curving her lips, just at the thought of it.

Horses, or rather animals, in general, were something that always softened her and never failed to make her feel better especially horses. Reaching the stables, the female's eyes hovered and watched every stallion and mare in the stable, until one caught her sight, a white mare, that seemed to call her name. The soft smile on the petite female's lips turned into a full unguarded grin, showcasing her mood and enjoyment,
"Now aren't you a beauty?" she murmured, her voice low and soothing while she caressed the sleekness of white as snow mare. "What do you say, that we take a tour around here? Would you like it?" Looking down into her dress, and knew it would be too tricky to be able to ride the mare with it, though that wasn't going to stop her.

She was in the process of having the mare ready when she heard the gravel being crushed underneath the feet of someone. Turning around to see who was joining her, the female, let out a small gasp. Of all the people in the town, that was the last person she wanted or was prepared to meet. What was Johnny doing there? Was he following her? Did her parents find out about her and had sent him? Many questions started running through her mind, and his frown was making her even more suspicious. Tilting her chin slightly up, Hyolyn was ready to meet him head-on.

@♕ Lee Jieun "It is, I agree." he smiled back, chuckling slightly and hummed thoughtfully. "We met as kids, his mother knows my dad, they always had us playing together when they met up."

@♕ Ryeowook "Mmm, it's nice though~" she smiles "How did Siwon and you meet?"

@♕ Lee Jieun "That's fair" he smiles and looks at the sky, nodding in agreement with the princess. "You're right, it does. It seems brighter than it was earlier too."

@♕ Ryeowook "Well, we get along fine..." she stated and took in a deep breathe "The sky looks so pretty today~"

@♕ Lee Jieun "That's neat, I suppose you both get along really well?" he asked with a small chuckle

@♕ Ryeowook "We've known each other since small, cause our father's are good friends" she smiled

@♕ Lee Jieun "Yeah, we've known each other a while now... we have a sort of frenemy relationship, though I think it's getting better. How long have you known him?" he'd ask curiously and chuckle lightly "Ah, that's probably the better place to be most times."

@♕ Ryeowook "Oh so you know Siwon, he was the old friend I was talking about" smiles "I haven't actually, I guess I've just been cooped up in my room" chuckles

@♕ Lee Jieun "Honestly? Not too much, pestering the living daylight out of Siwon. Found a cat too, turned out to be one of the pets, he's cute. I didn't think I'd find myself liking many here and I managed to surprise myself a bit." he'd laugh and hum. "Have you spoken to many of the pets or slaves around here?"

@♕ Ryeowook "What have you been up to?" she looked at him with a smile before facing the path again

@♕ Lee Jieun Ryeowook smiled and followed her along the path, looking over to her and hummed curiously. "I see, that's neat, it's nice to run into old friends." he chuckled softly and clasped his hands behind his back for now.

@♕ Ryeowook "Thank you" she smiled and started to walk along the dirt path "It's been good I met up with an old friend" she smiled at him

@♕ Lee Jieun "I see, and that's a nice name for your horse." He replied, giving a nod of his head . "Sure, a walk around would be rather nice." He added with a smile. "How has your day been so far then?"

@♕ Ryeowook "Ah, I was doing the same with dear Crunchy here~" she smiled and watched as a servant took off the horses sadle "Shall we take a walk, around the field?"

@♕ Lee Jieun "Ah, yes. That slave shouldn't be disrespectful at all now, hopefully. I believe he got dealt with." Ryeowook replied with a chuckle and smiled, gesturing to the horse he'd put inside the stable "Not a lot, Princess Jieun, been back about ten minutes from taking my horse out for a stroll

@♕ Ryeowook ()It's ok~

"Uhh yes, with that disrespectful slave~" she said with a smile "What brings you out here Prince Ryeowook?" she tilted her had slightly, rubbing her horse lightly

@♕ Lee Jieun ((oof i didn't see a notification 8'D sorries))

Ryeowook looked up and over to the voice, smiling automatically out of politeness. "Hmm I believe we may have?" He'd chuckle as he looked her over and thought she looked a bit familiar too. "I'm Ryeowook, if that rings any bells for you?"

@♕ Ryeowook ()Oops you already posted a starter xD

Jieun came back from her horse riding planting her house back in it's stable, she saw a man doing the same in the 4th stable and recognized him "Excuse me" she said and walked to the man "Have you met before, you look awfully familiar" shw smiled

@♕ Lee Jieun *wanders the stable grounds, occupying himself with talking to the horses after bringing his own back from his walk a while ago now*
