"Hold on a second..."

"What?"

It worried Soojin that the second Shuhua pulled away, the girl was running hurriedly to the other side of the rooftop. It made Soojin wonder if she was going too fast. But unknown to her, the second Shuhua was in the other corner. Shuhua started dancing excitedly, flailing her arms in the sky while shooting...

"We kiss... we kiss...oh yeah...oh yeah...oh yeah!!!"

Shuhua was so happy, she was doing the crab dance, leg dance and cobra dance all at once. She quickly clears her throat and runs back to Soojin. The two blushingly looked away from each other and it was Shuhua, who stepped closer until they were toe to toe.

To say Soojin wasn't nervous is an understatement, she tries to recall what to do in these situations. She tries to dig her brain and try to remember from every romantic movie she watched, romantic novels she read.

What do lovers do?

She was about to wrap her arms around Shuhua's shoulders, but stopped... Wait... that's what girls do... But they're both girls. So, she should do it? Or Shuhua? But while she's racking her brain for an answer, there was Shuhua, taking Soojin's arms and letting it wrap around her shoulders.

Shuhua dipped her head, smiling as her lips softly touch Soojin's own. Her arms wrapping slowly around Soojin's waist.

And Soojin never realized how beautiful Shuhua truly is, until she was that close...

"You're perfect..."

*

"Soo? Soojin?!"

"W-what?"

Soojin's soft grin quickly disappeared into a deep frown when she saw her three best buds staring curiously at her.

"What is it?" Soojin immediately put up her usual angry birds look on her face.

"Nothing dude," Soyeon was the bravest one to speak up, while the two others backed away. "It's just that you have this weird thing going on in your face."

"It's called a smile"

"Oh yes... that's what it is... keke... it's just that we hardly see it on your face, that we're like weirded out."

Soojin now looks like a very angry angry bird.

"Not that it's a bad thing. We love it..." Moonbyul quickly waves her arms, trying to appease the girl.

"Why are you smiling? Is it because you're going to be my prince?"

Soojin raises her brow, confused by what Somi is trying to say.

"What are you talking about?"

"Dude!" Moonbyul drapes her long arms on Soojin's lean shoulders "I think you're forgetting that we go to an all girls school. You're like the closest thing these girls have to a dashing prince. Don't you know like girls nickname for you?"

Prince Soojin, Seobang, Soojin oppa.

Yes... Soojin is quite familiar with each one of those. She just doesn't pay much attention to it. Although ignoring it didn't help, her fanbase just seems to grow each second.

"Okay, okay..." The teacher grabs their attention. "That's enough talk ladies... Now it's time to discuss the different roles. Of course, for the prince, as expected we have Seo Soojin..."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

There is almost that automatic squeal from the fangirls. And Soojin just stilled her facial muscles, not wanting to talk or even show any reaction to it.

"And our snow white will be... no other than..."

Somi could feel the applause now, no other person deserves the role of someone so pure and beautiful. She is the epitome of snow white. It's like the fairy tale is written about her... Oh yeah, she's going to rock snow white... She stood up, ready to thank her fans with her beauty queen wave.

" Moonbyul..."

And Somi immediately sat back down.

"HU-WHAT?!" Somi's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets because of how large they suddenly got. "Wait her?!"

Somi points to the girl who was also too stunned that she stopped munching her chips.

"She can't be snow white!"

Moonbyul frowns at Somi, "AND WHY NOT?!"

Somi just rolls her eyes "DUH! Cause you're not white!"

"RACIST!" Moonbyul points a shaky finger at her

"They call it snow white for a reason, Soojin... if you're going to be the lead, they might as well call it snow black..."

"Are you blind? I'm not black!" Moonbyul corrected her "My skin is the color of caramel."

"Of course food... Why am I not even surprised?"

"It will be okay Somi, as you may know you are going to play an important role too."

The word important fit Somi well and quickly got her attention.

"Really?"

"Yes... you're going to be the evil queen."

"Are you kidding me? This face?" Somi points to her money shot "This angelic, fell from heaven face? An evil queen?"

"You just seem like you could play the part well." Their teacher quickly moves on, leaving Somi with so many questions. "And for the role of the mirror, no one fits the role perfectly as Jeon Soyeon."

Soyeon starts waving her hand.

"And for our dwarves we have... Miyeon as Sleepy, Sorn as Bashful, Minnie as Dopey, Luna as..." The teacher kept on but Minnie wasn't paying attention anymore...

Minnie sinks in her chair deeper, completely embarrassed of her role.

"Oh god... of all the dwarves, I have to be the stupid one..."

"That's a unique bouquet, Shu."

Yuqi says amusingly as she sees Shuhua carrying a bouquet of cherries. That's right... Unlike the typical way of getting your someone special a bouquet of flowers, what Shuhua has on her hand is a bouquet of cherries.

"Yes... did you know ? That cherries are part of the rose family?"

"It is?" Yuqi sounds surprised that Shuhua would know something informative, useless but informative.

"Yes." Shuhua nods proudly.. "And I think my sexy bear would like some fruits rather than roses. Although roses are more romantic... Hmmm?"

Shuhua starts to pout thoughtfully... thinking if she should just get roses too.

"OMO!" Her thoughts quickly went poof at the sight of her sexy bear with her bear friends. There is tall bear, pretty bear and genius bear. Shuhua was just about to run over Soojin when she saw something that made her stop.

Soojin opens her locker and just as expected a flood of valentines cards almost drowned her. Tons of admirers both secret and blunt just waiting for their chance to be Soojin's date for the most special day of the year.

"Ohhhh... Jinjin, if you have extra chocolate... you know who's your girl." Moonbyul bobs her brow, having no problems just pointing to herself.

"Ok..."

"Here comes the fangirls..."

Soyeon calls out as she sees three excited schoolgirls coming over to them.

"Soojin-sunbaenim..." They bow down and Soojin just tilts her head, like the cool person that she is.

"Hello..." Soojin said in her cool voice that made the girls spaz like kyaaaaaahhhh!!!!

"Sunbaenim... we heard that you got the role of the prince for our valentine's day theatre and we have to say, nobody fits the role better than you."

Soojin just replies with a polite nod.

"We were just wondering, who would Prince Soojin be taking as her date for the valentines after party?"

"Date?"

"Yes..." The girls ask their eyes filled with hope...

Soojin just scoffs playfully before answering them.

"My date is a fruit ninja."

On the other side, Soojin's fruit ninja and her sweet potato sidekick just observe everything that has happened from the corner.

"Shu?" Yuqi asks sympathetically as she sees the sad look on Shuhua's eyes.

"I forgot how many admirers she has..." Shuhua says sadly.

"But you're the one unnie agreed to be her girlfriend." Yuqi coos her sad best friend "So, that makes you special, right?"

Shuhua bats her lashes hopefully. "You're right... I have an edge against those others... Now I must go!"

Yuqi ends up shaking her head as she just watches Shuhua run out of the school.

*

"Hi unnie..." Shuhua says excitedly as her downtrodden sister walks into their kitchen. "How was your practice? Does Soojin look so cute? Hmmm? Hmmm?"

Minnie sighs heavily, sitting on the stool on their kitchen counter.

"What are you doing?"

Minnie asks as she sees their whole kitchen like a tornado just struck it, a tornado named Shuhua.

"I'm making some sweets for Soojin, we need food while we're doing it."

Omo! Now they're using props?

"Food? Why would you need food?"

"Unnie... don't you get tired and hungry after doing it so much?"

Shuhua was talking about fruit ninja, Minnie obviously wasn't...

"Look... Shuhua we need to talk."

"About what?"

Minnie stops her sister from stirring the batter.

"About stuff..." Minnie clears her throat, mutters a silent prayer and looks at Shuhua. She didn't want to do this, but now she has no choice... it's time to give her sister, the dreaded sex talk.

Her sister only ends up blinking cutely at her.

"Shu, when two people are in love, they often use their hearts instead of their minds."

"Agreee... agree..." Shuhua nods.

"So, sometimes they do things that they don't think about, just because at that very moment it just feels right."

"Ok?"

Shuhua is confused about where her sister is going with this conversation.

"So, again, when two people are in love, they do things, physical things."

Physical? Oh now Shuhua gets it... her sister is talking about kissing. It's a good and weird thing that Minnie wants to demonstrate it with the use of two ladles.

"For example... this is You and Soojin..."

"Kekekeke..." Shuhua laughs amusedly like a child watching cartoons... "The brown one is Soojin..."

"Yes..." Minnie clears her throat "Hey Shu..." Minnie tries to talk in Soojin's deadpan voice "You want to ummm... go somewhere and ahhh... do things?"

Shuhua watches seriously...

"What things?" Minnie starts to talk in her Shuhua voice.

"I'll show you..." Minnie talks in her Soojin voice...

Minnie then bumps the two ladles together as if they're kissing, confusing the innocent minded Shuhua...

"Are you getting hot in here?" Minnie continues in her cold Kwon Soojin voice "Do you want me to take off your clothes?!"

"Wait..." Shuhua stops her unnie "I'm confused, they're ladles, they don't have clothes."

Why does her sister have to be so innocent?

"We're just pretending, remember?"

"Omo!" Shuhua gasps "Are they going to make babies?!"

YES!" Minnie could sing hallelujah now that her sister got it... "Yes... they're going to do that..."

"KYAAAAHHH!!!"

Minnie watched in confusion as her sister got up and ran to the drawer taking out spoons and little spoons.

"What are you doing?" Minnie asks as Shuhua puts two spoons and a little spoon beside the ladles.

"These are their kids..."

Shuhua is too innocent sometimes, and now she thinks her sister is playing with her.

"And this is their baby..." Shuhua raised up the little spoon.

Minnie wanted to argue back, wanting to shake some sense into her sister, maybe even shout at her too... Scream something that love isn't enough,

Shuhua... you have to think too...

But then she looks at her sister, and people might argue that she was just being too overprotective. But what do you do? When you see your sister heartbroken from loving too much, Would telling her I told you so at the end of it all helps? Or would you just end up regretting that you didn't do what you have to do?

Maybe that's what Shuhua needs to see things her way, instead of shoving ideals about love in her face? Because as far as Minnie knows, it looks like she knows more about it than her.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall who's the fairest one of all?"

"It sure ain't you, beyotch."

"Misssssssss!!!!" Somi says in a whiny tone, like a kindergarten tattle telling "Soyeon is being mean. I mean the mirror is not following the script..."

"Well I'm trying to add more flavor to my character, you know more soul... instead of the monotone."

The teacher is trying to referee the two bickering leading stars...

Minnie can't even focus on the rehearsals. It was nearing Valentine's Day and instead of worrying about the matters of her heart, she ended up worrying about Shuhua...

She gazes over Soojin's direction. The prince is just sitting in the corner, reading her lines. And Minnie just has to admit that there is something just so yummy about Seo Soojin, even if she's just sitting there reading, it was like watching a CF...

Minnie shakes those thoughts out of her head and takes a deep breath. She wasn't going to be intimidated by Seo Soojin's awesomeness, she's going to talk to the girl.

"So, Soojin..."

Minnie was so caught up with Shuhua's situation that she forgot that Sorn has been badgering her like this.

"Isn't Miyeon so amazing?"

Minnie looks up and sees Miyeon just sleeping while standing up by the stage.

"Ahhh yeah I guess."

"She's playing her part so well... Nobody can play the role of sleepy as good as her."

"I guess..."

"By the way, are you game about it?"

"About what?"

"Me asking Miyeon out on valentines?"

Minnie wants to answer but it's a good thing she has self control and nods. That very second, she couldn't figure out why an easy task like nodding felt so hard to do.

"Ummmm yeah... I guess..."

"KYAAAAHHH!!!" Sorn bounced excitedly while clapping "You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to serenade her and you're going to help me."

"Serenade her?"

"Yes... I mean... isn't that romantic? Isn't that what every girl wants?"

Minnie just shrugs.

"What does that have to do with me?"

"You're going to serenade her..."

"ME?!"

"Yes... since you have this golden voice, you should do it..."

Minnie felt like she was suffocating at the moment, she stood up and tried to walk away from her friend.

"Why don't you do it?"

"Well... here's the plan as you sing, I will come from behind carrying some flowers and give it to her while I ask her... romantic right?"

"We'll talk later, Sorn... excuse me..."

Minnie thought a walk would help but unfortunately it didn't. She needs to think of other things and Seo Soojin was her diversion.

"Hey..."

"Hey"

Wow... Minnie thought, even the way Soojin says hi sounds so cool.

"Ahem... ahem... I know who you are, this hotshot most popular girl in school, but it doesn't mean I'm going to let you take advantage of my dongsaeng like that..."

"What do you mean?" Soojin didn't even seem unphased by Minnie's presumed threats.

"What you and Shuhua did? During your sleepover."

"I don't know why you're so upset about it..."

"Of course I'm upset! How can you just take advantage of her like that?"

Soojin thought Minnie was talking about her beating Shuhua in fruit ninja, Minnie thought she made her point clear about talking about s-e-x.

"I didn't take advantage of her, in fact she was the one who taught me things."

"What?" Minnie gasps, and here she was thinking that she has shielded Shuhua from the byunness of the world. "That can't be..."

"Yes, she did... she even showed me some videos on the internet... and it helped... After that, I kept beating her..."

Omo! Minnie covers her mouth as Soojin mentioned the word beating. What does that mean? That her sister is into the 50 shades of grey kind of stuff?

"But she keeps beating me too."

Minnie covers her ears shaking her head as she couldn't take anymore of this.

"She wouldn't do that."

"She told me you're even the one who introduced it to her." Soojin says matter of factly.

""

"Yes... she told me you're like the biggest addict."

"I'm not!" Minnie stomps her feet, turning around to hide her embarrassment. "I'll go ahead..." She walks away, not wanting to talk about this anymore.

"Minnie..."

Minnie turns around and sees that she is head to head with Soojin.

"What is it?"

"I understand how you feel, I have a kid sister too... But ummm... I guess we just have to realize our kid sisters are not babies anymore, they're grown up, and they're going to fall in love, and they're going to get hurt and there is only so much we can do."

Minnie nods painfully...

"I just want to tell you this, before anybody else... even before Shuhua even knew..."

"W-what is it?"

Soojin took a deep breath, her gaze going everywhere and for a while there, Minnie thought that Soojin, the cool Seo Soojin, looked flustered and nervous.

"I think I'm beginning to like your sister more than I thought I would..."

*

Soojin tries not to go berserk as she sees Moonbyul acting like a demure princess as she prepares for her role. Right now Moonbyul is twirling around, singing while flapping her arms like a butterfly.

"See Soojin...see?!" Somi demanded "That's the girl you're going to kiss..."

Soojin just gulps...

"Moonbyul would fit better as the huntsman... But me... I'm like a girl out of a fairy tale... you know... just like Miyeon is like the real life version of Sleeping beauty..."

The two turn to Miyeon who's sleeping on Snow white's pretend glass coffin.

"Ok... now it's time to rehearse the kiss... Ummm... Ms. Cho, you need to get up."

Their teacher nudged Miyeon and Miyeon got up and started growling...

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

"ok... ok... calm down, Ms. Cho... it's time to go practice..."

"Wow... she can be both sleepy and Grumpy."

Miyeon gets off the coffin... and Moonbyul plops down...

"Hey. This is comfortable..." Moonbyul starts to snore...

And Soojin gulps once again just thinking of kissing, even though it was fake,

"Come on Soojin, give it to me," Moonbyul puckers her lips, ready to kiss Soojin with her duckface.

"Ummm... ahhh... well... ahhhh..." Soojin says in hesitation...

"You know like GG said... Ahhhhhh...a nae wahngjanim! eonje i momeul kuhareo wah jushil tenkayo?"

Now with Moonbyul singing IGAB, that song will never be the same for Soojin.

"Ah, my prince! When are you gonna come save me? So, come save me, prince Soojin... save me with your kiss..."

Moonbyul puckers her lips once more...

"Ummm... " Soojin raises her hand , ready to excuse herself "Sorry I need a break."

*

After everybody left the theatre, Seo Soojin was still there, reading her script, practicing her role, listening to her voice out loud.

"HI!!!"

Soojin looks over to the door and sees Shuhua with a bright smile, carrying a picnic basket with her.

"Hmmm... I haven't seen you around."

Shuhua puts the picnic basket on the stage, before swinging her legs to climb up, struggling to get into the stage.

"There's a stairs over there you know." Soojin points to the stairs at the sides of the stage.
