Lucky

Xander had finished turning in his class' math homework, since he was class president, and went over to the high school cafeteria to have lunch.

When he arrived and was done collecting his food from the serving point, he spotted Astrol sitting alone at a corner and decided to go join her. However, the next thing that happened made him halt instantly in his tracks. He watched as Kim Minho took a sit next to Astrol and was utterly shocked. 'First Zane and now Kim Minho?, when did she even start associating with royals this much?', Xander inwardly questioned. It was better when it was Zane because at least he was a total jerk, so he could console himself with that and have more courage to fight knowing that he had a better character than Zane did.

But it was Kim Minho this time, and flaws simply didn't exist for him. Each of the crazy four had their flaws, Zane was cruel, Minjun was too much of a Playboy, and Auston was way too quiet and really intimidating. But him, he was absolutely perfect. He was rich, well-mannered, attractive, you name it...he bet he even had a perfect life aside from the fact his father was in prison.

Xander felt even more hopeless when he saw that Astrol was actually speaking to him. When he first met her, he knew how hard he worked just to get her to talk to him before getting to where he was with her now. But, Zane and Minho managed to get her to speak with them even before he got to know that she'd met them. 'Am I just too slow when it comes to her?', he thought. Xander glanced at Kim Minho once again and couldn't help releasing a sigh. 'Am I going to be competing with a Kim now', he thought to himself before slowly turning around, with a downcasted look, and walking to his friends table. The other students had started giving him weird stares already.

Nari and Bora entered the cafeteria next; they had taken some time to get there because Nari had taken Bora to the locker room to talk about the necklace incident with Astrol at the pizza place. Luckily for her, she had managed to come up with a reasonable alibi about what had happened, and succeeded in throwing Nari offtrack.

"Oh my gosh Bora, look!", Nari said in excitement as soon as her eyes landed on the peculiar pair seated together. She was really happy that Astrol took the initiative to talk to Kim Minho. It was good, especially since Astrol told her that Kim Minho knew that she was the one who made the video. Moreover, looking at them together like that made her eyes sparkle; she realized that Kim Minho was the kind of person Astrol needed to change her views on royals, and reduce her resentment towards them. Plus, they actually looked really good together.

Bora froze at the scene before her. 'Weren't they both meant to hate each other?'. She was sure that Astrol hated him to the core before. She'd even surprised her and went to the extent of involving Kim Minho's dad in the video. Kim Minho on the other hand also knew that Astrol made that video. And yet, he was actually sitted there... talking to her?. He was meant to despise her for that. If she had known that things would turn out this way, and that they would end up talking to each other, then she never would've gone through with everything in the first place. "Let's leave them together and go sit somewhere else", Nari suggested with bright eyes. "Don't you think it's too early for you to be fangirling over them like that", Bora commented sourly with a raised eyebrow, and Nari just rolled her eyes. "It doesn't matter, hey let's go sit over there with Xander and his friends", Nari said dragging Bora along with her towards the table.

...

After lunch, Kim Minho left school early to go meet up with the crazy four at the city's central mall. He soon caught up with them and they were now leisurely walking and talking with each other. "You guys go on, I'm gonna go to the restroom for a bit", Zane said before leaving. The rest of the crazy four then continues to walk and chat about the mall until, "Han Minjun!", a female voice called out loudly, and Minjun suddenly froze upon recognizing the voice. 'God no....how did she find me?!' he thought anxious, when he suddenly felt small soft arms encircle his waist from behind....

Lee Sumi decided to leave school with her best friend - Yujun Han - to go pick up the bag she had forgotten at a boutique. She had only today left to claim it before they put it up for sale. Yujun had left her to go use the restroom, so she had to wait for him outside the boutique so that they could leave together after claiming her bag.

She was calmly waiting for him, when she spotted three familiar figures. She immediately recognized them as her older brother's friends. Her eyes worked diligently as it efficiently scanned through the three, and once her eyes finally landed on her target, she smiled widely. She had a huge crush on Yujun's older brother - Minjun - but he had been giving her such a tough time. He was always running away from her like she was some disease.

She was in grade 9 with Yujun at New Dawn, but she stayed in the middle school building while Minjun stayed in the high school building. Though they were both within the same vicinity, she almost never saw Minjun around, even when she snuck into the high school building just to get a glimpse of him. He was really damn good at avoiding her, at this rate it might as well be a superpower.

'I've got you now my dear prince', she thought with a mischievous grin as she quietly walked towards them. As soon as she was close enough, she immediately screamed his name out, and was glad to have caught him off guard upon seeing him freeze like that; so without wasting anymore time, she circled her arms around his waist, trapping him against her.

"I've finally got you now so don't you dare think of escaping me", Sumi firmly stated as she tightened her hold on him. Minjun could only gaze helplessly at his friends, pleading with his eyes for them to save him, but Kim Minho just laughed at him while Auston looked at him with an amused grin playing on his lips. 'Darn, how come you only smile in times whenever I'm in trouble like this statue. I swear I'll get you both back for this'. He was completely helplessly at this point. He couldn't do anything to hurt Sumi or else Zane would surely kill him, and yet he couldn't escape her either.

"Gosh I'm so happy right now I could kiss you", Sumi mumbled against his back making an imaginary light bulb light up in Minjun's mind. He then turned slowly to face her, "Really?, let's do that then", Minjun spoke as he held her chin gently, and eased it upwards making her meet his gaze. He slowly inched closer towards her, and Sumi's face turned beet red at the sudden change of events. She had to close her eyes as she held her breath on feeling him get closer. Minjun then halted an inch away from her lips, and slowly started walking backwards. Sumi's arms had fallen off him, too anxious about what she thought was about to happen. They were no longer chaining him but by her side instead.

Sumi stayed like that for a while, but when she couldn't feel him come any closer, she opened her eyes. The moment she opened her eyes, her gaze locked directly onto Minjun's some distance away from her. They maintained eye contact for half a second before Minjun swiftly turned around and started running away from her. It took her quite a while to understand what had happened. She'd just been tricked. She kicked at her heels as realisation dawned on her, and she started chasing after him. "Hey! Get back here!", she yelled as she ran after him.

"Sumi will surely be the death of Minjun", Kim Minho stated laughing. "Mm, but they will look good together though", Auston commented casually making Minho turn to him. "Why do you think so?", Minho asked curious. "Because they're both shameless".

Minho : "..."

Minjun was now on the second floor, and was still running, when he spotted a closed door by the corner. Without thinking, he instantly pushed the door open and entered inside. He let out a sigh of relief after locking the door, but instantly froze once more as soon as he turned around. He saw a lady and a man huddled together in quite an interesting position, and he could only laugh nervously on realizing that he'd just interrupted something as he flushed a light pink.

"Uhm, I'm really sorry. Please just accommodate me for a little while, I'll leave really soon", he stated with an awkward smile. "Yes darling, let the cute guy stay longer", the lady spoke fluttering her eyelashes at him. "That's right, you should listen to this dazzling woman sir", Minjun replied with a charming smile towards the lady. "Geez stop it", she gushed blushing. "I'm sorry, it's just that I find it difficult to control myself with such a beauty in front of me", Minjun replied with a wink at her. "How come you're only showing up in my life now handsome", the woman complained in a downcasted tone as she looked down at her wedding ring with regret.

Minjun was about to give a reply, when he suddenly felt a deadly glare directed at him. He slowly shifted his gaze from the lady's face to the man beside her and inwardly cursed. The man's face was really dark with deadly intent and Minjun could only swallow as he tried to redeem himself. "D-Don't worry sir, I'll be out before you know it...yes any minute now, hehe". 'Damn, don't look at me like that, your wife started it. How was I supposed to know she was married to you anyway!' he added silently as he cried without tears.

Sumi was still standing outside the door fuming, when she saw Yujun run towards her. "What's with that face?, did you make him run away from you again", Yujun teased with a smile, and Sumi sneered at him. "Hey you can't blame him you know...Do you know how scary you look coming after him like that", Yujun uttered. He heard about what had transpired from Auston and Minho. "Scary?! Hymph!" Sumi remarked stomping her foot and walking away. Yujun's gaze then slowly made it's way back to the door his brother had entered a while ago. "Lucky", he muttered with a sigh, before turning around and chasing after Sumi again. "Hey! Wait up, I didn't mean it like that!....Sumi! Come on!".
