Junsu opened his eyes, he looked around; he was laying in bed somewhere. Around him were two young men asleep on the other two beds squeezed into the bedroom.
Junsu got out of the bed and looked around, the place was a nice house, one floor and with a small, frozen garden surrounding it. There was a frozen river beside the house and snow covered the hill the house was located on, everything was white and snow covered, and although junsu liked the soft, fluffy, snow he liked the spring too, he liked the flowers and the gentle breeze.
Walking into the living room junsu found an old man sitting in the armchair in front of the fire and reading the newspaper
'Good morning' junsu whispered gently
'Oh, my youngest and dearest junsu, good morning' the man smiled
So he's my father. Junsu decided and went to sit by his side in the second armchair; on one side f the room junsu noticed the bookshelves, and instantly he scanned them looking for the old, leather book. He couldn't find it anywhere, but he didn't give up yet.
'Going to town today, honey?' his father smiled gently at him ' if you're going to visit the bookstore again, then we might need some stuff from the market'
'Oh, yes, of course' junsu smiled. A bookstore, he will most likely find the book there, he wasn't going to miss this chance.
'Good, then you can take the car'
Junsu blinked. Car…? Since when did fairytales have cars in them? This was strange
'Okay… I'll just go and change' junsu smiled and rushed out of the room, on his way he checked the kitchen. The kitchen had a stove, over and a fridge… that shocked junsu, since when did fairytales have fridges in them?
Shaking his head and totally lost within this strange and messed fairytale junsu went back to the bedroom where the two young men still slept. He looked at the small school-trunk in front of his bed and opened it, taking out a jeans, a shirt and a coat he grabbed his boots from beside the bed and rushed to the bathroom
In the bathroom junsu was although shocked to find a bathtub and a toilet. Everything was so different and messed up, this wasn't a normal fairytale and if he didn't know better, he would say it was the real world and not a bizarre world that they were zapped into by accident.
Changing his cloth junsu noticed that the clothes weren't brand new, yet they weren't old and rugs, they weren't totally poor, yet they weren't rich. Just like the real life, somehow.
Getting ready, junsu walked out of the bathroom and back to the kitchen. He found the shopping list in the kitchen, held to the fridge by a small magnet and took it with him; in a small jar labeled cookies he found the shopping money. He didn’t know it would be there, yet somehow he did, it was so strange.
Walking to the living room once again to see his father, junsu smiled at the tired, old, man and took the car keys
'I'll be back shortly' he smiled
'Be careful on the roads, they're slippery'
'I'll' junsu smiled and got out of the house. He looked at the old car parked nearby and walked to it. Again it wasn't the best car to drive, but who's he to complain, he didn't own a car even in the real world!

The road to the town wasn't hard, it was the only road there was, but it went around the hill and a mountain so it took junsu around an hour to reach.
When he reached the town and parked the car in front of the old bookstore, junsu couldn't help his beating heart. He was entering an old bookstore in a fairytale, he wondered about the kind of stories he will find here, what kind of books will fill the place and whether he will find the old, leather book or not.
As he opened the door and entered, a tiny, silver, bell jingled announcing to the owner that someone had entered the store.
A minute later, a short, old, man walked to him, a smile in place
'Oh, it's you, junsu dear. What would you like today?'
So, he was a regular costumer here, huh? He thought and smiled at the idea. He looked around at the place and grinned ' I'll look around'
'Be my guest, my dear, be my guest' the old man smiled and left him alone, he vanished once again into the back of the store, finishing his work there
Junsu began looking around at once; the book must be here, he thought, it must be hidden some place around here. He needed it this time, he needed to read it and find out what messed up fairytale this was, because so far he couldn't understand anything and it was only driving him insane.
He also needed to find where the heck that rich brat was, and more importantly he needed to understand what the hell he was feeling every time the man kissed him. Why was his heart always racing, and his face hot? Why was he unable to fight him off when kissing? What effect did the man have on him?
Another thing on his mind was those mysterious men who kept appearing in the fairytales and trying to hurt them, ruin it for them so they won't be able to finish it. Up till now they couldn't succeed with anything, they finished the first three fairytales and here they were, in the forth, but they could still ruin things for them. How come they didn't vanish with the fairytale? How come they keep appearing in every one?
Feeling a headache coming junsu massaged the bridge of his nose and kept looking around. An hour later he had to decide that the book was nowhere in sight. As the old man walked back to him asking him if he found a suitable book or something junsu picked up the nearest book and smiled at him
'Oh, this is a good book, hope you will enjoy reading it. Return it when you're done with it'
'I'll, thank you' junsu smiled, held his book and walked out of the store. As he closed the door after him junsu noticed that there was no title on the cover, he blinked and opened the book. It was empty; all pages were blank, white. Nothing was written on them
Junsu frowned, placed the book in the car and walked to the nearby market. He would have to add this fact to the list of weird things he was thinking of, he will try to get to the bottom of this later on. Right now he had to shop.
Strange enough, junsu was able to read the words off the shopping list; milk, fresh bread, apples, bacon, eggs, sugar, flour, honey, fish, potatoes, oil and cornflakes
Junsu entered the supermarket and began shopping, the bread however, he got from the nearby bakery.
As he finished his shopping junsu got back to the car and drove back home, it was all so real and yet all so strange. The market, the town, the electronic store and the modern technology and all that, it didn't fit with a fairytale.

Junsu parked the car and held all the bags, entering the house. His father was now nowhere to be found in the living room, the kitchen or even the garden as he walked in. The two young men, his brothers, junsu was sure, were still asleep. Sighing at his luck, junsu pot everything away and began working on breakfast
'You didn't finish the breakfast, yet?' a voice from behind startled him, he turned to see one of his brothers standing by the doorway and frowning at him
'It will be done in a minute' junsu tried to smile, yet there was something in the brother's eyes that made him wince inwardly, it wasn't normal morning grumpiness or something, no, there was some loathing or something in the young man's eyes that junsu couldn't explain.
When breakfast was finally laid on the table for everyone to eat the other brother woke up, it looked as if he too didn't like junsu very much, even if he hid it better than the first brother.
A few minutes later found the two brothers filling up their plates with the hot breakfast while junsu sat down and waited for their father. When the old man finally emerged from his bedroom he looked as if ready to travel or something.
'Father, breakfast is ready' junsu whispered, gently
The old man smiled at him, he sat down and filled his plate with a little food, eating slowly, and junsu did the same.
'You seem like you're going to travel somewhere, father' one of the brothers spoke
'Oh, yes, yunho, my dear, I've just been delivered an emergent note this morning while junsu was in town. It seems like not all hope is lost after all'
'WHAT?' yunho, whom junsu suspected to be the eldest, jumped up, enthusiastic by the news
'Really, so we'll be rich once again?' the second brother grinned
Junsu frowned, this sounded somehow familiar from somewhere.
'I don't know yet, my dear jaejoong, but it seems that one of the ships managed to escape the storm and reached the harbor, I must go and check it and see the shipment on it'
'So you're going now?' jaejoong smirked widely
'After breakfast, yes, I'll be gone for a few days. It shall depend on the situation over there'
'And you'll bring us gifts when you come back?' yunho smirked wider
'Yes, yes, my dears. I shall bring you a gift each' the old man smiled sweetly at his sons
Junsu's eyes widened now, he couldn't be sure if it was the right fairytale as things were too strange right now, but it seemed to be the beauty and the beast, and if he was the beauty, then that meant yoochun, the bane of his existence, would be the beast!
Junsu smirked widely at the idea, finally the outside beauty shall reflect the inside beauty as it truly is. For once he won't be the prince charming, he will be the beast, suits him well!
'I want a golden chain' yunho announced at once
'I want an emerald ring' jaejoong added
Junsu remained silent
'And you, my dearest junsu?' his father asked gently and junsu knew already what he had to ask for
'I only want you to come back to us healthy, father' he smiled at the old man
'Nonetheless, you must desire something'
'If you insist, I would like a single red rose, father' junsu smiled gently and ignored the shocked hissed and tsks from his two brothers
His father nodded his head and finished eating. Then he stood up, hugged his three sons and left the house, got into his car and drove away.
Junsu stood by the window watching the old man till he was out of view. When he turned around he was his two brothers smirking at him and he knew it can't be good.
'Well then, you must clean the house and fix the leaking roof' yunho hissed before he and jaejoong vanished into the bedroom, quickly.

Yoochun opened his eyes, he felt something wrong about himself. He could feel something wrong about himself. It was as if something in his body had changed, it was really strange. He had trouble walking and when he finally managed to get up from the bed and walk to the wall mirror in his castle bedroom, he gasped, he couldn't believe his eyes
It wasn't his reflection staring back at him; it was something else, some ugly man with a lot of extra hair and unshaved beard, he had cuts and scars all over his face and body, he was also taller and somehow fatter than he last remembered. Yoochun closed his eyes, rubbed them, and opened them again. The reflection remained the same. Unable to take the shock and the horror of the sight yoochun yelled out loud in a horror filled scream. This couldn't be happening, it just couldn’t!
Looking around for the damn book or anything that could explain how the heck he went from the most handsome man in college, the most wanted bachelor of the year, and prince charming into this…this… beast!
The place wasn't an old castle, yoochun noticed; it was a modern mansion, slightly similar to his house in the real world. If he didn't know best, he would say he was back to his world.
There was a home theater system, a huge plasma TV, a stereo system, a Jacuzzi in the bathroom, fridge, microwave oven, mini-bar and a lot more in the kitchen, phones and even a sport car in the driveway, around the mansion there was a huge garden, and even though it was winter and there was snow everywhere, the roses and the flowers were still there, in the middle of the snow covered land, looking so pretty, red and green clashing with the white.
No one knew this, but yoochun loved roses, he loved gardening, he liked working in some piece of land, seeding it and taking care of it to see the plants grow up, to see the rose's blossom, red roses were his favorite.
This, however, he considered as a weakness, a deep, black, secret that no one knew about, and no one was to know about, not now, not ever.
Yoochun began searching the entire mansion for a long while before admitting that the book was nowhere to be found. Tired, angry and shocked yoochun sat down and looked at his reflection, he looked hideous, no one would ever look at him, and if anyone did no one would recognize him. The jerk won't be able to recognize him like this, he knew, he was doomed.
Yoochun spent three days sitting in front of the mirror, looking at his reflection and wondering about a lot of things; where the hell did the book vanish to? Who the heck were those men who keep on trying to kill them or ruin their chances of getting out of here, why was he so angry at the brat? What kind of twisted fairytale was this rubbish?
But, most importantly, the question which troubled yoochun was why the heck he did like kissing the brat so much?
In the three days he spent alone, yoochun did some self-reflecting, he thought about a lot of things and a lot of people. His girls around the town and around the college, somehow they didn't look so hot anymore, he spent three days thinking before yoochun came to the conclusion that maybe, just maybe, he was gay.
The idea troubles him, yet somehow it set him free, he felt much better now that he decided this, it was as if a pressure was lifted off his chest.
