" Good morning, Gaeun noona." -Eric

He said in a tiny voice causing me to look at the entrance of the kitchen where he is leaning on, rubbing his eyes.

" oh good morning, Eric. It's early, why are you already awake?" -Gaeun

" I don't know, how about you? Why are you awake already?" -Eric

I grinned.

" well, it's just. I wanted to thank you guys for taking care of me. So I decided to cook breakfast for you guys!" -Gaeun

I looked at the pancakes and saw it was already cooked.

I took the gloves before taking the pan and placing the pancakes on the plates in the kitchen table.

" woah..." -Eric

" I smell B-R-E-A-K-F-A-S-T! BREAKFAST!" -Kevin

A/n's Pov.

" Gaeun?! Yook Gaeun stop hiding this is not funny anymore!" -Sinb

Sinb keeps on shouting her bestfriend's name but there is no response.

She broke down crying while frustratingly running her fingers through her hair.

" I don't want to lose her again." -Sinb

She stood up and started to look around the forest along with the others.

" Gaeun! Gaeun-ah!" -Haechan

He looked around the forest with his brothers.

" noona!" -Jisung & Chenle

The younger ones were also worried for their noona.

But there is this one person who is really worried about Gaeun.

" Gaeun!" -Taeyong

Taeyong can't sleep last night looking for Gaeun around the kingdom and the village but he can't find her.

They were looking around when they found out that there is a wall in the very end of the forest.

It is a wall connected to the other palace.

" why is there a wall here?" -Taeyong

" it is a wall connected to the other kingdom where Changmin and the others live." -Jaehyun

" oh..." -Taeyong

Gaeun's Pov.

Time Skips... (afternoon)

" Gaeun-ah! Come here!" -Changmin

I washed my hands and dried it up before walking up the stairs.

" why?" -Gaeun

He waited for me before holding my hand.

" what do you want?" -Gaeun

" I am going to show you something." -Changmin

Changmin suddenly pulled me out of the living room to the outside of the palace.

The sun and the cold breeze touched my face as I walked outside.

" wow, I did not expect this place to be that spacey." -Gaeun

" that is not what I am going to show you and can you come here." -Changmin

He pulled me all of the sudden while I was still looking at the spacey grounds.

" this is what I am going to show you." -Changmin

The two of us climbed the top of the palace.

Changmin placed a small carpet on the roof before sitting in it.

" come on, sit down here." -Changmin

I slowly walked towards him and sat down on the carpet.

I gasped as I saw the view in front of my eyes.

" wow... I did not expect that this is gonna be the view from here." -Gaeun

Changmin went to my back while I was looking at the view of the whole place.

I felt some in my neck so I looked at it and saw a necklace.

" I wanted to give you that. It was from my mother. She told me to give it to the girl I love." -Changmin

I smiled as I looked at the gold necklace with a small cross in it.

" it's beautiful, thank you." -Gaeun

" you are always welcome, Gaeun-ah. Besides I want you to move on from what happened and start a new chapter." -Changmin

I smiled before looking around and saw a wall with the forest behind it.

" now I know where you sneak to the forest." -Gaeun

He looked where I was looking and chuckled.

" good job, miss detective." -Changmin

He patted my head as I look closely to what is behind the wall.

Taeyong?

Why are they there?

I saw some other people walking around like they are looking for something.

I saw Taeyong looked at this direction making me lower my head so he can't recognize me.

" why, what's wrong?" -Changmin

" Taeyong and the others are behind the wall. Let's go back inside the palace can we?" -Gaeun

" sure." -Changmin

Changmin nodded as the two of us walked inside the palace.

Time Skips... (morning)

Move on.

That is what I need to do, to forget Taeyong, to forget what happened before.

I faced the mirror and took the scissors.

I was about to cut my hair when somebody suddenly shouted.

" NO! NO! No no no no no!" -Jacob

I turn to look at him who took the scissors away from me.

" why?-" -Gaeun

" are you crazy?! Gaeun-ah your hair is very beautiful and you are going to cut it?!" -Jacob

" it's okay. I wanted to cut it anyways." -Gaeun

" yes I know, but you are cutting it in a wrong way. I don't want your hair to be cutted but if you really wanted to. Then... I will cut it for you." -Jacob

Jacob made me sit on the chair before starting to cut my hair a little by little.

" how short?" -Jacob

" just above my shoulders. Like the bob cut style." -Gaeun

" alright. Bob cut it is." -Jacob

I chuckled as he started to cut my hair.
