NO LEOPARD, WOLF, NOR PIGS WERE HARMED IN MAKING THIS FANFIC.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful boy who lived together with his stepmother and brothers. His name is Jung Heechul. His family never treated him nicely, even his own father. Well, his father loved him very much, but because his father was bewitched by the stepmother’s beauty, his father turned cold to him. That was before his father died due to accident.
Every day, Heechul must clean their large house by himself. His stepmother, Lady Key and her sons, Siwan and Hyungseung would yell over him and tell him to do anything to keep him busy. They never worked, everything’s done by Heechul. Luckily, Heechul was a nice and patient kid. He would smile and done whatever being told by his stepmother and brothers cheerfully, before finally he sneaked to his bedroom and cursed as much as he want. Yes, he has multi personalities.
Today, as usual, Heechul awakened by the chirps of the…mice birds. Plus Lady Key’s high tone shrieks.
“JUNG HEECHUL WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING NOW??” His stepmother banged his bedroom’s door open. “IT’S FREAKING 7AM NOW AND YOU STILL SNUGGLE UNDER YOUR BLANKET?”
Heechul squirmed and pulled his blanket until it covered his head. “Five minutes more, mom…”
“Five minutes my ass,” Lady Key pulled the blanket and threw it to the corner. “Wake up now and prepare breakfast for us!! My Siwannie and Hyunseungie are starving right now.”
Heechul sighed, he can’t even sleep as much as he want. His stepmother made him to clean the entire house until late night and he didn’t get a proper rest. “Arasseo…”He said.
Heechul got up and gave those birds that have been his friends some corns for breakfast. “Do you like it?”
The birds didn’t answer.
“Stupid birds,” Heechul hissed and left his room. He forgot that birds can’t talk.
“There you are!” Hyunseung yelled when he saw Heechul walked downstair. “Ppalli! Make us breakfast! I want spaghetti.”
“What is spaghetti?” Heechul asked.
“You didn’t know?” Hyunseung gasped. “What year are you living now?!? It’s English breakfast!!”
“Err… Hyunseungie, actually it’s Italian.” Siwan made a correction.
“Oh really? Oh yeah, whatever.” Hyunseung shrugged. “Just make me some spaghetti.”
“I never ate that thing before.” Heechul said. “How am I supposed to make it?”
“You can read the recipe.”
“I don’t have one.”
“Well then go googling for it on the internet.” Hyunseung said.
“It’s freaking year 1600 now, stupid. How I am supposed to google?”Heechul looked annoyed.
“Ohh yeah, you’re right. Well, just make us the usual bibimbap.” Hyunseung waved his hand to shoo Heechul.
Heechul lazily walked himself into the kitchen. Actually he hated cooking, when his mother was alive, she would do all the cooking. But after she passed away, he sometimes cooked for his father. Now it’s even worse, he cooked every day for their stepmother and brothers.
“Here you go, two bibimbap for the two of you.”Heechul served two bowl of it.
“Where’s my starbuck coffee?” Hyunseung asked. “I want it now.”
“My dear brother, Starbuck hasn’t been created yet.” Siwan smiled and patted Hyunseung’s hair. “Remember there’s ‘once upon a time’ in the prologue.”
“Aww that’s no fun.”Hyunseung pouted. “Why can’t we make it year 2010?”
“Stop whining and just enjoy your breakfast, can you?” Heechul interrupted.
“YAH! How dare you yelling at my brother?!” Siwan scolded.
“Kids, stop quarreling! Your voices make me dizzy!!”Suddenly Lady Key appeared and brought a white envelope sealed by the royal symbol.
“Jessica!!” Heechul shrieked happily when he saw his stepmother’s Persian cat that walked gracefully behind Lady Key. He quickly approached the cat and rubbed its fur. “Have I told you that I love you so much today?”
“Don’t touch my cat with your dirty hand…” Lady Key slapped Heechul’s hand. “And his name is ‘Lucifer’, not ‘Jessica’…”
“But I love Jessica…” Heechul argued, he hugged the cat and amazed by its soft fur. “So cuteee…”
“Who cares? His name is Lucifer. You know Lucifer?” Lady Key opened his arm wide and raised his index fingers. “Geobu hal su eopneun neo ae maryeok eun Lucifer…”
“Mazeltov, himnaebwa…” Siwan hummed, but quickly stopped it when his mother glared at him. “Ehm, sorry.”
“…Jessica…” Heechul muttered.
“Say ‘Jessica’ once again, I’ll kill you like I did to your father.” His stepmother threatened.
“OMO! So you killed my father?!” Heechul gasped. “What a meanie stepmother! I thought he died because he fell down into the canyon.”
“Yes! I mean, NO!!” Lady Key pulled out his hair in frustration. “GAAHH!! You made me confessed that! It should be a secret!”
“Umma what is that?” Hyunseung pointed at the white envelope that his mother held.
“Ah, I almost forgot about that. Kids, guess what? We’re invited to the dance ball that Royal Empire will hold.”Lady Key smiled proudly. “I heard that the prince is looking for someone to marry.”
“Really?!” Hyunseung giggles. “I’d love to be his couple. I always admire Prince Junhyung.”
“But it’s Prince Hyungshik that I’m talking about.”
“Prince Hyungshik?” Siwan raised his eyebrows. “That gluttony prince?”
“Yeah, him. But he’s handsome, my dear.” Lady Key tried to ensure his children. “If one of you can marry him, we can eat anything we want harujongil.”
“Spaghetti too?”
“Of course!”
“Then I’ll marry him.” Hyunseung said. “When is the party?”
“Tomorrow. We should prepare right now. Finish your breakfast and we’ll go to the best tailor in this town.”
“Can I come too?” Heechul asked.
“No.”Lady Key answered.
“WAEEE?!?!” Heechul put a sad face. “Please let me join the party, I haven’t gone to any party since my mom passed away.”
“Because you’re annoying, and you haven’t done your daily tasks I gave you.”
“Does that mean I can go if I finish my tasks?” Heechul’s eyes sparkled.
“Sure. But…” Lady Key smirks evilly. “I’ll double your tasks.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m stepmother, and I should be mean to you.”Lady Key laughed evilly.
So the poor young boy has to finish all the tasks his stepmother gave in order to join the ball. Because Heechul was a nice and diligent kid, he managed to finish his tasks in no time. But his family always added more and more tasks for him to be finished. Siwan even told him to make a jacket made from leopard’s fur, so he has to go to the forest to find one.
It’s almost 2PM and it’s going to be the hottest time of the day. Heechul tighten his red hoodie so the UV rays wouldn’t burn his pale white skin and checked his bag. He needed to make sure that he brought his airgun, or else, he might be a dinner for that beast in jungle.
“Siwannie hyung, Hyunseungie, I’ll go now. Don’t miss me…” Heechul waved his hand.
“I won’t.” Siwan waved his hand. “You have to make that jacket no matter what. Don’t come back home unless you get it.”
Heechul sighed and walked away, he went to the jungle. He’s never been to the jungle before, but from what he heard from his father, the jungle is scary. Heechul walked through the jungle slowly; he actually had no idea where to find a leopard.
“Hey little girl.” Somebody approached him. “What’s inside your bag?”
“I’m not a little girl,” Heechul said. “I’m a boy. Who are you?”
“I’m a wolf.” The wolf said. “Good day Little Red Riding Hood.”
“No, it’s not. And I’m Jung Heechul, not that Little Red Riding Hood.”
“Ohh okay… Wither away so early, Heechullie?”
“Actually I’m looking for a leopard, because my stepbrother wants a jacket made from its fur.”
“Isn’t it illegal? Don’t you feel pity for us, the animal?”
“I do. But if I don’t do the task, then they won’t let me to come to Prince Hyungshik’s dance ball.”
“Aww poor you. Anyway what have you got inside your bag?”
“An airgun, some anesthetic drugs and kimchi jiggae for lunch.”
The wolf gasped. “You’re scary. I shall leave you now before I get shot.”It ran away before Heechul could say anything.
“You got rid the wolf!” Suddenly three little pigs appeared and danced happily. “You’re our savior, Jung Heechul!”
“We shall fete you in our house.”The first pig said. “Let’s go to my straw house.”
“No, we should go to my wood house.” The second pig argued. “Mine is stronger than yours, hyung!”
“I don’t care which one is stronger okay?” Heechul snapped. “If you’re thankful to me, then you should help me.”
“How can we help you?” The third pig asked.
“By this…” Heechul smirked.
***
“I’m still young, I don’t want to die right now…” The three little pigs cried in despair. Jung Heechul tied them to lurk the leopard.
“Don’t worry, it won’t hurt. The pain will last only a second before you died.”Heechul tried to comfort.
“Andwaeee…”
An hour, two hour, four hours passed. Heechul waited for the leopard to appear and eat the pigs, but it never came. So he gave up and decided to trick Siwan. He’ll buy at the famous store in the next town and claimed it was his handmade. Siwan wouldn’t know.
Heechul released those pigs and walked away. He hummed ‘Mazeltov’ and skipped happily while picking up the flowers he found on his way out.
Just when he finished the rap part of ‘Mazeltov’, suddenly he heard something walked closer to him. The weeds and the small trees were shaking, as if something big walked passed it.
“Wh-who is there?” Heechul said. He quickly prepared his gun, just in case it’s tiger or something. But rather than the beast, a handsome boy appeared from beyond the trees. He was tall, handsome, and stacked boy. Heechul couldn’t help not to fall for him.
“D-don’t shoot me.” The boy said. “I’m innocent.”
Heechul put down his air gun. “Who are you? Why are you here?”
“I’m Hyungshik.” The boy said. “And I got lost here…”
“You mean, you’re the prince Hyungshik?” Heechul asked, amazed by the figure in front of him. “How can you be here? Aren’t you going to hold a dance ball tomorrow?”
“Yeah, I was going to hold a dance ball tomorrow. But then I ate all the dishes that our cook has prepared for tomorrow. Appa was angry, so he took me to the wood and left me with only a piece of bread.” Hyungshik told. Heechul could see tears on his eyes. “I never knew appa would be that cruel.”
“Don’t cry, Prince Hyungshik! I can take you back to the palace.” Heechul smiled. “Just come with me.”
“Jinjja?! Yay!” Hyungshik cheered and walked beside Heechul cheerfully. He held Heechul’s hand and sang along with him.
“By the way, what’s your name?” Hyungshik asked. “Are you snow white?”
“Snow white? No, why are you thinking I’m that greedy girl??” Heechul sneered. “I’m Jung Heechul, as pretty and nice as Cinderella.”
“You have skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and your hair as black as the ebony.” Hyungshik said. “If you’re not Snow White, then your mother is.”
“No, why do you insist?” Heechul pouts. “My mom isn’t a trespasser like Snow White.”
“You’re pretty.” Hyungshik said shyly. “Maybe I should ask appa to let me marry you.”
“Jinjja?” Heechul blushed, but excited at the same time. “Are you really going to marry me??”
“I want to. But you need to come to tomorrow’s party, so appa can see you first.” Hyungshik said. “Heechullie, you’ll come tomorrow right? I promise I won’t choose anybody but you.”
“I’d love to.” Heechul simpered. “But my stepmother won’t let me go if I can’t get a leopard fur jacket for my brother.”
“Let’s go buy one when we reach town.” Hyungshik said. “I’m sure appa will give me enough money to buy you one.”
“NO!” King Junyoung said when his son asked him to buy jacket for Heechul. “Oh my gosh, my dear Hyungshik, you’ve just met this boy. In a forest. How can you trust him?!”
“He saved me, appa!” Hyungshik argued. “Just when you left me in the middle of that scary jungle and I almost died due to starvation, he saved me! He even shared his kimchi jjiggae!”
King Junyoung sighed. Why on earth his son came back now? He spent much money for tomorrow’s dishes but his youngest son ate them all. He already took him to the jungle so he wouldn’t disturb the preparation for tomorrow’s party. But he came back. HE CAME BACK, FOR GOD’S SAKE. AND HE BROUGHT THIS PALE LOOKING BOY WITH HIM.
“Jagiya, if only you know how hard it is to raise our kids…” King Junyoung whispered, sad that his dearly wife passed away already.
“But appa, if he can’t get the jacket for his stepbrother, he won’t be allowed to come to the dance ball tomorrow.” Hyungshik pulled his father’s robe. “Appaa~ jebal yo…”
“No, Hyungshik. I can’t. You’re still under punishment.” King Junyoung refused. “Prince Hyungshik, go back to your jungle.”
“Your father is as evil as my stepmother.” Heechul whispered as they’re walking out the castle. “I’m okay, I have enough saving to buy the jacket.”
“But how about me?” Hyungshik said, his eyes were teary again.
“Why don’t you ask your brother, Prince Junhyung to smuggle you into the palace?”
“Ooohh… right.” Hyungshik clapped happily. “Well then, see you tomorrow okay? Jung Heechul…” Hyungshik bent and kissed Heechul’s backhand.
Heechul could only stare at the prince until he disappeared from his sight. This was the first time somebody kissed his hand and treated him like princess. Maybe it’s destiny? Heechul didn’t know what it is, he only knew that his heart skipped a beat when Prince Hyungshik kissed his hand.
***
“Did you manage to get me the jacket I want?” Siwan arrogantly asked when Heechul reached home late at night.
“Yeah. Here you go.”Heechul handed the jacket that he bought from next town’s boutique.
“Good.” Siwan smiled complacently.
“It means I can go to the dance ball tomorrow right?” Heechul asked.
“Of course my dear brother,” Siwan smirked. “But do you have decent clothes to wear?”
“Look at your clothes!” Hyunseung looked disgusted at Heechul’s appearance. “You’re dirty, your clothes looked like rag, are you going to embarrass our family in the party?”
“Well, I have some decent clothes to wear tomorrow.” Heechul said.
“You mean these?” Lady Key walked in, he brought some old-fashioned coat in his hand. “This is not decent clothes, it’s old-fashioned and full of dust. You can’t wear this kind of clothes.”
“But that’s what all I have…” Heechul said. “Why can’t I wear that?”
“You’ll embarrass me as your stepmother!” Lady Key snapped. “I used to be a famous fashion diva in this country, what will people said if they saw my stepson wearing rag?!”
“Then why don’t you buy me new clothes?” Heechul tried to smile like an angel.
“I’d rather buy clothes for Lucifer,” His stepmother sneered. “Jung Heechul, ppalli prepare dinner for us and then you have to help your brother to prepare for tomorrow.”
Heechul sighed sadly and nodded. “Arasseo, stepmother…”
Heechul spent his night by helping his stepbrothers to prepare their clothes for tomorrow. He sadly ironed their clothes and even polished their new shoes. He didn’t even have shoes. If only his parents were still alive.
“Appa, why did you leave me so fast?” Heechul shed a tear while he patched some hole in his clothes. “Why did you die? Why did you marry that evil yet sexy stepmother?”
“Why don’t you leave me enough money so I can live happily by my own?” Heechul shouted angrily, he threw his clothes to the floor. “That’s it. I’m sick of this work. If I can’t come, they wouldn’t come either.” He smirked wickedly.
The next morning, as usual, the very first thing that everyone could hear was Lady Key’s scream. But today, it’s a bit different than the previous day.
“JUNG HEECHUL WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY LADY GAGA DRESS??” Lady Key yelped angrily. “MY SIWANNIE AND HYUNSEUNGIE’S CLOTHES ALSO GOT TORN OFF.”
“I-I don’t know anything, Mom.” Heechul said anxiously. “I done your dress since 11PM last night and I didn’t even touch it again. I put all of your clothes in your dressing room.”
“THEN WHO DID THIS TO OUR CLOTHES?!”
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s Jessica?”
“My cat?!” Lady Key glared at his cat and his dress. “YOU! Lucifer! I shall cancel your boots for Christmas! BAD CAT!”
“Umma, then how we should go to the dance ball?” Hyunseung cried. “I didn’t want to come with this torn outfit. Prince Junhyung won’t like me.”
“Don’t worry my dear, we’ll buy another clothes right now. And Hyunseungie, it’s Prince Hyungshik’s party, not Prince Junhyung.^^” Lady Key said. “YOU! JUNG HEECHUL!”
“Yes maam?”
“Fix those clothes as fast as you can. I want it to be done before we come back home.”
“Arasseo. I’ll try to fix it.”Heechul bowed deeply and watched his family went.
“HAHA. Got ya! Don’t mess with Jung Heechul!”Heechul laughed. “I just need to fix them a bit, and I got my new clothes for party!”
***
Heechul observed his reflection on the mirror and smiled. “Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest boy in the world?”
He smiled proudly, waiting for a reply to come out from the mirror. But of course mirror can’t talk. So he threw the mirror onto his bed and smiled. “I’ll pretend it said I’m the fairest boy.”
Heechul wore the clothes he remade from his stepbrothers clothes and getting ready for the party. It said that the party would start on 8PM, and it’s 6PM already. He needed to hurry up before his stepmother came back home and whipped him to die. So the pale looking boy sneaked outside, trying to find proper shoes to wear but fail. He also didn’t have any ride to take him to the palace. The only ride they had in their house was the horse cart, but Lady Key used it. Heechul began to cry in frustration, his sadly sobbed was so heartbreaking that a fairy appeared in front of him.
“Why are you crying my dear?” The fairy godmother asked.
“I want to go to the ball, but I don’t have shoes. And I don’t know how to go there too.” Heechul sobbed.
“Aww poor boy. Fairy godmother will help you.” The fairy said. “Don’t worry.”
“Really? Anyway, fairy godmothers why are you so muscular?”
“Because I practice taekwondo every day…”The fairy said. “I always want to be a bodyguard.”
“Wow cool…” Heechul looked amazed. “Then how you’ll get me a pair of shoes and take me to the palace?”
“Don’t worry, just bring me some animals so I can cast spells on them. And bring me a pumpkin so I can make a nice horse cart for you.”
“I don’t have pumpkin, I only have this cabbage for kimchi.” Heechul raised a cabbage.
“Oh well, that’s okay. Now you have to get me 4 mice and a cat.”
Heechul nodded and quickly he grabbed Jessica Lucifer and the mice he just caught. The fairy godmother turned them into horses and its coachman, the cabbage turned to be the horse cart and everything’s ready…except the shoes.
“I don’t have shoes; do I have to go barefoot there?” Heechul pouted.
“Of course not, Heechulie. Let’s see what I can do for you.” In a blink of eye, a pair of glasses shoes magically appeared.
Now Heechul is ready to go.
***
Prince Hyungshik looked at his surroundings. It’s 10PM already and Heechul hasn’t shown up yet. There were tons of boys and girls lining up to dance with him, but he refused them all. He wanted only Heechul and no other. He’s so wrought up, afraid that Heechul might not come that he ate a whole turkey by himself.
“Prince Hyungshik, will you have a dance with me?” Hyunseung politely asked Hyungshik to dance.
“I’m sorry,” Hyungshik smiled and refused. “You’re not the one I want to dance with.”
“HOW RUDE!” Hyunseung yelled angrily and left.
“If you don’t want to dance with my brother, will you dance with me?” Siwan asked.
Hyungshik shook his head. “Not you either. I’m yearning for a pale looking princess that has skin as white as snow, and lips as red as blood…”Hyungshik gazed upon the night sky. “He’s somewhat rude, but he has the sexiest rapestare ever.”
“Jung Heechul.” Siwan muttered. “You’re talking about him.”
“Yeah, how did you know him?”
“I’ll kill him. It can’t be him who can marry you.” Siwan clenched his fists.
“So you know him?” Hyungshik asked, he shook Siwan’s shoulder. “Tell me where is he now!!”
“Why should I know? Probably he’s at home because umma forbid him to come.” Siwan slapped Hyungshik’s hands so he could be released from Hyungshik’s grip. “Aisshh you really ruined my mood. If you have your eyes only for him then why do you hold this ball? You’re wasting my time!”
Siwan left Prince Hyungshik who stood still alone on the corner of the hall.
“Hyungshikkie~ what are you doing?!” King Junyoung approached him. “You abandoned all guests and refused to dance with them. Do you know how much I’ve spent for this party?! I did this so you can find somebody to marry!!”
“Appa~ he’s not here.” Hyungshik said sadly. “Heechullie didn’t come.”
“Who’s that Heechulie…” King Junyoung asked. “Don’t tell me it’s the boy that came with you before?”
“Yes, it’s him, appa. I want him.”
“Aigoo…” King Junyoung sighed. “Why can’t you choose among these pretty and handsome people here? He’s nowhere to be found.”
“I’m here.” Suddenly Heechul walked gracefully with a night gown and a glass slipper the fairy godmother gave him. If you’re curious why he didn’t wear the outfit he made before, well, the fairy godmother had a fetish on cross-dressing. Heechul couldn’t refuse.
“Heechullie! You come!”Hyungshik shouted happily and approached Heechul. “I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Really?” Heechul smiled shyly. “Do you want me that much?”
“Your beauty bewitched me.” Hyungshik said. “Dance with me, Heechulie. My snow white…”
“How many times I should say, I’m not Snow White!” Heechul sighed in despair. But he didn’t refuse when Hyungshik put his hand on his hips and pulled him to his embrace. The two of them danced under the moonlight night, eyes glued to each other. They can only hear the music heaved from the orchestra, accompanied them to dance along the night.
“Jung Heechul, will you marry me?” Hyungshik whispered on Heechul’s ear.
“Does it mean I can do nothing but have fun?”Heechul whispered back.
“Sure. We can do whatever we want, if my father is in good mood.”
“Then I’ll marry you.” Heechul smiled. “And I want pretty cats as much as I can have.”
But their romance had to end just when the clock started to ring twelve times. Heechul gasped. It’s 12 o’clock in the midnight, he has to go home right now.
“I have to go now.” Heechul pushed back Hyungshik. “It’s midnight already.”
“W-wait. The party isn’t over yet.”
“Mianhae. But I have to. Fairy godmother Taehun told me so, or else I might turned into a wolf…” Heechul said. He took off his left slipper and gave it to Prince Hyungshik. “You have to find me okay! You’ve promised.”Heechul waved his hand and left.
“Okay, if this is what you want.” Hyungshik replied, he observed the glass slipper. “I’ll find you tomorrow.”
***
“Pheeww that was close…” Heechul sighed. He changed his outfit behind the bushes and sneaked. “I’ve done the fairy godmother’s advice; I shall have fun before I return home. Now, where’s the disco club?”
***
The next morning, the minister Kim Jonghyun issued an announcement that Prince Hyungshik is looking for a boy/girl that can fit the glass slipper perfectly…and has a stare that can kill anyone who look at you in a second. He searched through the country, but he found nobody that suited the criteria. It’s been 3 days since the dance ball ended, but Prince Hyungshik and the minister haven’t found Heechul yet.
Heechul could only patiently wait while secretly cursed on how long it took just to find him. He’s thinking that maybe he should put an advertisement in the newspaper to tell that he’s the one they’re looking for. But apparently he couldn’t do that, Lady Key and his sons paid an extra attention toward him. They really made him worked hard, twice harder than usual so he’ll be busy all day long.
Then, one day, actually on the fourth day, Prince Hyungshik and Minister Kim finally came to their house. They brought the infamous glass slipper and let Siwan and Hyunseung tried it. It fits their foot, but none of them could give an exact rapestare like Heechul did.
“By any chance, is there any young girl/boy who lived here beside the two of you?” Prince Hyungshik asked.
“No, there isn’t.” Lady Key replied. “I have only two sons. Are they not pretty enough for you?!”
“No.” Hyungshik shook his head. “There’s someone that stole my heart already.” He walked approaching Siwan. “You mentioned his name before at the ball. You know where he is, right?!”
“W-what do you mean?!” Siwan’s face turned pale. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Where is Heechul?” Hyungshik yelled. “I want him!”
“Did someone just calling out my name?” Heechul asked, he suddenly appeared from the kitchen.
“Heechulie!” Hyungshik yelped excitedly. “You’re here!! I found you!”
“Wait, Prince Hyungshik. There must be a mistake, the ‘Heechul’ you’re looking for can’t be our Heechul. He didn’t come to the dance ball.”
“Oh yes he came,” Prince Hyungshik said. “He’s the girl I danced with at the ball.”
“No way!” Lady Key shrieked. “OH MY GOD JUNG HEECHUL YOU CROSS-DRESSED?!”
“Oh well, I did.” Heechul admitted shyly.
“Ahem, anyway, let’s try the slipper to make sure you’re the one we’ve been searching for.” Said the minister. He bent on his knee and helped Heechul to wear the slipper. As expected, it fits his beautiful foot perfectly. His stepmother and stepbrothers couldn’t help not to cry in frustration.
“Chajatta nae sarang…” Hyungshik smiled and kissed Heechul’s backhand once again. “Will you marry me?”
“I do.” Heechul replied.
So Prince Hyungshik took Heechul to the palace and they held the merriest wedding party ever. They vowed in front of Priest Kevin to love each other until the end of time and finally, they lived happily ever after.
Lady Key hasn’t given up yet, he forced Heechul to ask Hyungshik to tell his brother Prince Junhyung to marry his son, Hyunseung. As for Siwan, he met the royal clown, Hwang Kwanghee that has ability to gradually change his face, and fell in love with him. They’re married and live happily on a cookie cottage in the jungle. As for Lady Key, he had affair with Minister Kim Jonghyun and both were forced to leave the palace because of that.

NO LEOPARD, WOLF, NOR PIGS WERE HARMED IN MAKING THIS FANFIC.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful boy who lived together with his stepmother and brothers. His name is Jung Heechul. His family never treated him nicely, even his own father. Well, his father loved him very much, but because his father was bewitched by the stepmother’s beauty, his father turned cold to him. That was before his father died due to accident.
Every day, Heechul must clean their large house by himself. His stepmother, Lady Key and her sons, Siwan and Hyungseung would yell over him and tell him to do anything to keep him busy. They never worked, everything’s done by Heechul. Luckily, Heechul was a nice and patient kid. He would smile and done whatever being told by his stepmother and brothers cheerfully, before finally he sneaked to his bedroom and cursed as much as he want. Yes, he has multi personalities.
Today, as usual, Heechul awakened by the chirps of the…mice birds. Plus Lady Key’s high tone shrieks.
“JUNG HEECHUL WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING NOW??” His stepmother banged his bedroom’s door open. “IT’S FREAKING 7AM NOW AND YOU STILL SNUGGLE UNDER YOUR BLANKET?”
Heechul squirmed and pulled his blanket until it covered his head. “Five minutes more, mom…”
“Five minutes my ass,” Lady Key pulled the blanket and threw it to the corner. “Wake up now and prepare breakfast for us!! My Siwannie and Hyunseungie are starving right now.”
Heechul sighed, he can’t even sleep as much as he want. His stepmother made him to clean the entire house until late night and he didn’t get a proper rest. “Arasseo…”He said.
Heechul got up and gave those birds that have been his friends some corns for breakfast. “Do you like it?”
The birds didn’t answer.
“Stupid birds,” Heechul hissed and left his room. He forgot that birds can’t talk.
“There you are!” Hyunseung yelled when he saw Heechul walked downstair. “Ppalli! Make us breakfast! I want spaghetti.”
“What is spaghetti?” Heechul asked.
“You didn’t know?” Hyunseung gasped. “What year are you living now?!? It’s English breakfast!!”
“Err… Hyunseungie, actually it’s Italian.” Siwan made a correction.
“Oh really? Oh yeah, whatever.” Hyunseung shrugged. “Just make me some spaghetti.”
“I never ate that thing before.” Heechul said. “How am I supposed to make it?”
“You can read the recipe.”
“I don’t have one.”
“Well then go googling for it on the internet.” Hyunseung said.
“It’s freaking year 1600 now, stupid. How I am supposed to google?”Heechul looked annoyed.
“Ohh yeah, you’re right. Well, just make us the usual bibimbap.” Hyunseung waved his hand to shoo Heechul.
Heechul lazily walked himself into the kitchen. Actually he hated cooking, when his mother was alive, she would do all the cooking. But after she passed away, he sometimes cooked for his father. Now it’s even worse, he cooked every day for their stepmother and brothers.
“Here you go, two bibimbap for the two of you.”Heechul served two bowl of it.
“Where’s my starbuck coffee?” Hyunseung asked. “I want it now.”
“My dear brother, Starbuck hasn’t been created yet.” Siwan smiled and patted Hyunseung’s hair. “Remember there’s ‘once upon a time’ in the prologue.”
“Aww that’s no fun.”Hyunseung pouted. “Why can’t we make it year 2010?”
“Stop whining and just enjoy your breakfast, can you?” Heechul interrupted.
“YAH! How dare you yelling at my brother?!” Siwan scolded.
“Kids, stop quarreling! Your voices make me dizzy!!”Suddenly Lady Key appeared and brought a white envelope sealed by the royal symbol.
“Jessica!!” Heechul shrieked happily when he saw his stepmother’s Persian cat that walked gracefully behind Lady Key. He quickly approached the cat and rubbed its fur. “Have I told you that I love you so much today?”
“Don’t touch my cat with your dirty hand…” Lady Key slapped Heechul’s hand. “And his name is ‘Lucifer’, not ‘Jessica’…”
“But I love Jessica…” Heechul argued, he hugged the cat and amazed by its soft fur. “So cuteee…”
“Who cares? His name is Lucifer. You know Lucifer?” Lady Key opened his arm wide and raised his index fingers. “Geobu hal su eopneun neo ae maryeok eun Lucifer…”
“Mazeltov, himnaebwa…” Siwan hummed, but quickly stopped it when his mother glared at him. “Ehm, sorry.”
“…Jessica…” Heechul muttered.
“Say ‘Jessica’ once again, I’ll kill you like I did to your father.” His stepmother threatened.
“OMO! So you killed my father?!” Heechul gasped. “What a meanie stepmother! I thought he died because he fell down into the canyon.”
“Yes! I mean, NO!!” Lady Key pulled out his hair in frustration. “GAAHH!! You made me confessed that! It should be a secret!”
“Umma what is that?” Hyunseung pointed at the white envelope that his mother held.
“Ah, I almost forgot about that. Kids, guess what? We’re invited to the dance ball that Royal Empire will hold.”Lady Key smiled proudly. “I heard that the prince is looking for someone to marry.”
“Really?!” Hyunseung giggles. “I’d love to be his couple. I always admire Prince Junhyung.”
“But it’s Prince Hyungshik that I’m talking about.”
“Prince Hyungshik?” Siwan raised his eyebrows. “That gluttony prince?”
“Yeah, him. But he’s handsome, my dear.” Lady Key tried to ensure his children. “If one of you can marry him, we can eat anything we want harujongil.”
“Spaghetti too?”
“Of course!”
“Then I’ll marry him.” Hyunseung said. “When is the party?”
“Tomorrow. We should prepare right now. Finish your breakfast and we’ll go to the best tailor in this town.”
“Can I come too?” Heechul asked.
“No.”Lady Key answered.
“WAEEE?!?!” Heechul put a sad face. “Please let me join the party, I haven’t gone to any party since my mom passed away.”
“Because you’re annoying, and you haven’t done your daily tasks I gave you.”
“Does that mean I can go if I finish my tasks?” Heechul’s eyes sparkled.
“Sure. But…” Lady Key smirks evilly. “I’ll double your tasks.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m stepmother, and I should be mean to you.”Lady Key laughed evilly.
So the poor young boy has to finish all the tasks his stepmother gave in order to join the ball. Because Heechul was a nice and diligent kid, he managed to finish his tasks in no time. But his family always added more and more tasks for him to be finished. Siwan even told him to make a jacket made from leopard’s fur, so he has to go to the forest to find one.
It’s almost 2PM and it’s going to be the hottest time of the day. Heechul tighten his red hoodie so the UV rays wouldn’t burn his pale white skin and checked his bag. He needed to make sure that he brought his airgun, or else, he might be a dinner for that beast in jungle.
“Siwannie hyung, Hyunseungie, I’ll go now. Don’t miss me…” Heechul waved his hand.
“I won’t.” Siwan waved his hand. “You have to make that jacket no matter what. Don’t come back home unless you get it.”
Heechul sighed and walked away, he went to the jungle. He’s never been to the jungle before, but from what he heard from his father, the jungle is scary. Heechul walked through the jungle slowly; he actually had no idea where to find a leopard.
“Hey little girl.” Somebody approached him. “What’s inside your bag?”
“I’m not a little girl,” Heechul said. “I’m a boy. Who are you?”
“I’m a wolf.” The wolf said. “Good day Little Red Riding Hood.”
“No, it’s not. And I’m Jung Heechul, not that Little Red Riding Hood.”
“Ohh okay… Wither away so early, Heechullie?”
“Actually I’m looking for a leopard, because my stepbrother wants a jacket made from its fur.”
“Isn’t it illegal? Don’t you feel pity for us, the animal?”
“I do. But if I don’t do the task, then they won’t let me to come to Prince Hyungshik’s dance ball.”
“Aww poor you. Anyway what have you got inside your bag?”
“An airgun, some anesthetic drugs and kimchi jiggae for lunch.”
The wolf gasped. “You’re scary. I shall leave you now before I get shot.”It ran away before Heechul could say anything.
“You got rid the wolf!” Suddenly three little pigs appeared and danced happily. “You’re our savior, Jung Heechul!”
“We shall fete you in our house.”The first pig said. “Let’s go to my straw house.”
“No, we should go to my wood house.” The second pig argued. “Mine is stronger than yours, hyung!”
“I don’t care which one is stronger okay?” Heechul snapped. “If you’re thankful to me, then you should help me.”
“How can we help you?” The third pig asked.
“By this…” Heechul smirked.
***
“I’m still young, I don’t want to die right now…” The three little pigs cried in despair. Jung Heechul tied them to lurk the leopard.
“Don’t worry, it won’t hurt. The pain will last only a second before you died.”Heechul tried to comfort.
“Andwaeee…”
An hour, two hour, four hours passed. Heechul waited for the leopard to appear and eat the pigs, but it never came. So he gave up and decided to trick Siwan. He’ll buy at the famous store in the next town and claimed it was his handmade. Siwan wouldn’t know.
Heechul released those pigs and walked away. He hummed ‘Mazeltov’ and skipped happily while picking up the flowers he found on his way out.
Just when he finished the rap part of ‘Mazeltov’, suddenly he heard something walked closer to him. The weeds and the small trees were shaking, as if something big walked passed it.
“Wh-who is there?” Heechul said. He quickly prepared his gun, just in case it’s tiger or something. But rather than the beast, a handsome boy appeared from beyond the trees. He was tall, handsome, and stacked boy. Heechul couldn’t help not to fall for him.
“D-don’t shoot me.” The boy said. “I’m innocent.”
Heechul put down his air gun. “Who are you? Why are you here?”
“I’m Hyungshik.” The boy said. “And I got lost here…”
“You mean, you’re the prince Hyungshik?” Heechul asked, amazed by the figure in front of him. “How can you be here? Aren’t you going to hold a dance ball tomorrow?”
“Yeah, I was going to hold a dance ball tomorrow. But then I ate all the dishes that our cook has prepared for tomorrow. Appa was angry, so he took me to the wood and left me with only a piece of bread.” Hyungshik told. Heechul could see tears on his eyes. “I never knew appa would be that cruel.”
“Don’t cry, Prince Hyungshik! I can take you back to the palace.” Heechul smiled. “Just come with me.”
“Jinjja?! Yay!” Hyungshik cheered and walked beside Heechul cheerfully. He held Heechul’s hand and sang along with him.
“By the way, what’s your name?” Hyungshik asked. “Are you snow white?”
“Snow white? No, why are you thinking I’m that greedy girl??” Heechul sneered. “I’m Jung Heechul, as pretty and nice as Cinderella.”
“You have skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and your hair as black as the ebony.” Hyungshik said. “If you’re not Snow White, then your mother is.”
“No, why do you insist?” Heechul pouts. “My mom isn’t a trespasser like Snow White.”
“You’re pretty.” Hyungshik said shyly. “Maybe I should ask appa to let me marry you.”
“Jinjja?” Heechul blushed, but excited at the same time. “Are you really going to marry me??”
“I want to. But you need to come to tomorrow’s party, so appa can see you first.” Hyungshik said. “Heechullie, you’ll come tomorrow right? I promise I won’t choose anybody but you.”
“I’d love to.” Heechul simpered. “But my stepmother won’t let me go if I can’t get a leopard fur jacket for my brother.”
“Let’s go buy one when we reach town.” Hyungshik said. “I’m sure appa will give me enough money to buy you one.”
“NO!” King Junyoung said when his son asked him to buy jacket for Heechul. “Oh my gosh, my dear Hyungshik, you’ve just met this boy. In a forest. How can you trust him?!”
“He saved me, appa!” Hyungshik argued. “Just when you left me in the middle of that scary jungle and I almost died due to starvation, he saved me! He even shared his kimchi jjiggae!”
King Junyoung sighed. Why on earth his son came back now? He spent much money for tomorrow’s dishes but his youngest son ate them all. He already took him to the jungle so he wouldn’t disturb the preparation for tomorrow’s party. But he came back. HE CAME BACK, FOR GOD’S SAKE. AND HE BROUGHT THIS PALE LOOKING BOY WITH HIM.
“Jagiya, if only you know how hard it is to raise our kids…” King Junyoung whispered, sad that his dearly wife passed away already.
“But appa, if he can’t get the jacket for his stepbrother, he won’t be allowed to come to the dance ball tomorrow.” Hyungshik pulled his father’s robe. “Appaa~ jebal yo…”
“No, Hyungshik. I can’t. You’re still under punishment.” King Junyoung refused. “Prince Hyungshik, go back to your jungle.”
“Your father is as evil as my stepmother.” Heechul whispered as they’re walking out the castle. “I’m okay, I have enough saving to buy the jacket.”
“But how about me?” Hyungshik said, his eyes were teary again.
“Why don’t you ask your brother, Prince Junhyung to smuggle you into the palace?”
“Ooohh… right.” Hyungshik clapped happily. “Well then, see you tomorrow okay? Jung Heechul…” Hyungshik bent and kissed Heechul’s backhand.
Heechul could only stare at the prince until he disappeared from his sight. This was the first time somebody kissed his hand and treated him like princess. Maybe it’s destiny? Heechul didn’t know what it is, he only knew that his heart skipped a beat when Prince Hyungshik kissed his hand.
***
“Did you manage to get me the jacket I want?” Siwan arrogantly asked when Heechul reached home late at night.
“Yeah. Here you go.”Heechul handed the jacket that he bought from next town’s boutique.
“Good.” Siwan smiled complacently.
“It means I can go to the dance ball tomorrow right?” Heechul asked.
“Of course my dear brother,” Siwan smirked. “But do you have decent clothes to wear?”
“Look at your clothes!” Hyunseung looked disgusted at Heechul’s appearance. “You’re dirty, your clothes looked like rag, are you going to embarrass our family in the party?”
“Well, I have some decent clothes to wear tomorrow.” Heechul said.
“You mean these?” Lady Key walked in, he brought some old-fashioned coat in his hand. “This is not decent clothes, it’s old-fashioned and full of dust. You can’t wear this kind of clothes.”
“But that’s what all I have…” Heechul said. “Why can’t I wear that?”
“You’ll embarrass me as your stepmother!” Lady Key snapped. “I used to be a famous fashion diva in this country, what will people said if they saw my stepson wearing rag?!”
“Then why don’t you buy me new clothes?” Heechul tried to smile like an angel.
“I’d rather buy clothes for Lucifer,” His stepmother sneered. “Jung Heechul, ppalli prepare dinner for us and then you have to help your brother to prepare for tomorrow.”
Heechul sighed sadly and nodded. “Arasseo, stepmother…”
Heechul spent his night by helping his stepbrothers to prepare their clothes for tomorrow. He sadly ironed their clothes and even polished their new shoes. He didn’t even have shoes. If only his parents were still alive.
“Appa, why did you leave me so fast?” Heechul shed a tear while he patched some hole in his clothes. “Why did you die? Why did you marry that evil yet sexy stepmother?”
“Why don’t you leave me enough money so I can live happily by my own?” Heechul shouted angrily, he threw his clothes to the floor. “That’s it. I’m sick of this work. If I can’t come, they wouldn’t come either.” He smirked wickedly.
The next morning, as usual, the very first thing that everyone could hear was Lady Key’s scream. But today, it’s a bit different than the previous day.
“JUNG HEECHUL WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY LADY GAGA DRESS??” Lady Key yelped angrily. “MY SIWANNIE AND HYUNSEUNGIE’S CLOTHES ALSO GOT TORN OFF.”
“I-I don’t know anything, Mom.” Heechul said anxiously. “I done your dress since 11PM last night and I didn’t even touch it again. I put all of your clothes in your dressing room.”
“THEN WHO DID THIS TO OUR CLOTHES?!”
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s Jessica?”
“My cat?!” Lady Key glared at his cat and his dress. “YOU! Lucifer! I shall cancel your boots for Christmas! BAD CAT!”
“Umma, then how we should go to the dance ball?” Hyunseung cried. “I didn’t want to come with this torn outfit. Prince Junhyung won’t like me.”
“Don’t worry my dear, we’ll buy another clothes right now. And Hyunseungie, it’s Prince Hyungshik’s party, not Prince Junhyung.^^” Lady Key said. “YOU! JUNG HEECHUL!”
“Yes maam?”
“Fix those clothes as fast as you can. I want it to be done before we come back home.”
“Arasseo. I’ll try to fix it.”Heechul bowed deeply and watched his family went.
“HAHA. Got ya! Don’t mess with Jung Heechul!”Heechul laughed. “I just need to fix them a bit, and I got my new clothes for party!”
***
Heechul observed his reflection on the mirror and smiled. “Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest boy in the world?”
He smiled proudly, waiting for a reply to come out from the mirror. But of course mirror can’t talk. So he threw the mirror onto his bed and smiled. “I’ll pretend it said I’m the fairest boy.”
Heechul wore the clothes he remade from his stepbrothers clothes and getting ready for the party. It said that the party would start on 8PM, and it’s 6PM already. He needed to hurry up before his stepmother came back home and whipped him to die. So the pale looking boy sneaked outside, trying to find proper shoes to wear but fail. He also didn’t have any ride to take him to the palace. The only ride they had in their house was the horse cart, but Lady Key used it. Heechul began to cry in frustration, his sadly sobbed was so heartbreaking that a fairy appeared in front of him.
“Why are you crying my dear?” The fairy godmother asked.
“I want to go to the ball, but I don’t have shoes. And I don’t know how to go there too.” Heechul sobbed.
“Aww poor boy. Fairy godmother will help you.” The fairy said. “Don’t worry.”
“Really? Anyway, fairy godmothers why are you so muscular?”
“Because I practice taekwondo every day…”The fairy said. “I always want to be a bodyguard.”
“Wow cool…” Heechul looked amazed. “Then how you’ll get me a pair of shoes and take me to the palace?”
“Don’t worry, just bring me some animals so I can cast spells on them. And bring me a pumpkin so I can make a nice horse cart for you.”
“I don’t have pumpkin, I only have this cabbage for kimchi.” Heechul raised a cabbage.
“Oh well, that’s okay. Now you have to get me 4 mice and a cat.”
Heechul nodded and quickly he grabbed Jessica Lucifer and the mice he just caught. The fairy godmother turned them into horses and its coachman, the cabbage turned to be the horse cart and everything’s ready…except the shoes.
“I don’t have shoes; do I have to go barefoot there?” Heechul pouted.
“Of course not, Heechulie. Let’s see what I can do for you.” In a blink of eye, a pair of glasses shoes magically appeared.
Now Heechul is ready to go.
***
Prince Hyungshik looked at his surroundings. It’s 10PM already and Heechul hasn’t shown up yet. There were tons of boys and girls lining up to dance with him, but he refused them all. He wanted only Heechul and no other. He’s so wrought up, afraid that Heechul might not come that he ate a whole turkey by himself.
“Prince Hyungshik, will you have a dance with me?” Hyunseung politely asked Hyungshik to dance.
“I’m sorry,” Hyungshik smiled and refused. “You’re not the one I want to dance with.”
“HOW RUDE!” Hyunseung yelled angrily and left.
“If you don’t want to dance with my brother, will you dance with me?” Siwan asked.
Hyungshik shook his head. “Not you either. I’m yearning for a pale looking princess that has skin as white as snow, and lips as red as blood…”Hyungshik gazed upon the night sky. “He’s somewhat rude, but he has the sexiest rapestare ever.”
“Jung Heechul.” Siwan muttered. “You’re talking about him.”
“Yeah, how did you know him?”
“I’ll kill him. It can’t be him who can marry you.” Siwan clenched his fists.
“So you know him?” Hyungshik asked, he shook Siwan’s shoulder. “Tell me where is he now!!”
“Why should I know? Probably he’s at home because umma forbid him to come.” Siwan slapped Hyungshik’s hands so he could be released from Hyungshik’s grip. “Aisshh you really ruined my mood. If you have your eyes only for him then why do you hold this ball? You’re wasting my time!”
Siwan left Prince Hyungshik who stood still alone on the corner of the hall.
“Hyungshikkie~ what are you doing?!” King Junyoung approached him. “You abandoned all guests and refused to dance with them. Do you know how much I’ve spent for this party?! I did this so you can find somebody to marry!!”
“Appa~ he’s not here.” Hyungshik said sadly. “Heechullie didn’t come.”
“Who’s that Heechulie…” King Junyoung asked. “Don’t tell me it’s the boy that came with you before?”
“Yes, it’s him, appa. I want him.”
“Aigoo…” King Junyoung sighed. “Why can’t you choose among these pretty and handsome people here? He’s nowhere to be found.”
“I’m here.” Suddenly Heechul walked gracefully with a night gown and a glass slipper the fairy godmother gave him. If you’re curious why he didn’t wear the outfit he made before, well, the fairy godmother had a fetish on cross-dressing. Heechul couldn’t refuse.
“Heechullie! You come!”Hyungshik shouted happily and approached Heechul. “I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Really?” Heechul smiled shyly. “Do you want me that much?”
“Your beauty bewitched me.” Hyungshik said. “Dance with me, Heechulie. My snow white…”
“How many times I should say, I’m not Snow White!” Heechul sighed in despair. But he didn’t refuse when Hyungshik put his hand on his hips and pulled him to his embrace. The two of them danced under the moonlight night, eyes glued to each other. They can only hear the music heaved from the orchestra, accompanied them to dance along the night.
“Jung Heechul, will you marry me?” Hyungshik whispered on Heechul’s ear.
“Does it mean I can do nothing but have fun?”Heechul whispered back.
“Sure. We can do whatever we want, if my father is in good mood.”
“Then I’ll marry you.” Heechul smiled. “And I want pretty cats as much as I can have.”
But their romance had to end just when the clock started to ring twelve times. Heechul gasped. It’s 12 o’clock in the midnight, he has to go home right now.
“I have to go now.” Heechul pushed back Hyungshik. “It’s midnight already.”
“W-wait. The party isn’t over yet.”
“Mianhae. But I have to. Fairy godmother Taehun told me so, or else I might turned into a wolf…” Heechul said. He took off his left slipper and gave it to Prince Hyungshik. “You have to find me okay! You’ve promised.”Heechul waved his hand and left.
“Okay, if this is what you want.” Hyungshik replied, he observed the glass slipper. “I’ll find you tomorrow.”
***
“Pheeww that was close…” Heechul sighed. He changed his outfit behind the bushes and sneaked. “I’ve done the fairy godmother’s advice; I shall have fun before I return home. Now, where’s the disco club?”
***
The next morning, the minister Kim Jonghyun issued an announcement that Prince Hyungshik is looking for a boy/girl that can fit the glass slipper perfectly…and has a stare that can kill anyone who look at you in a second. He searched through the country, but he found nobody that suited the criteria. It’s been 3 days since the dance ball ended, but Prince Hyungshik and the minister haven’t found Heechul yet.
Heechul could only patiently wait while secretly cursed on how long it took just to find him. He’s thinking that maybe he should put an advertisement in the newspaper to tell that he’s the one they’re looking for. But apparently he couldn’t do that, Lady Key and his sons paid an extra attention toward him. They really made him worked hard, twice harder than usual so he’ll be busy all day long.
Then, one day, actually on the fourth day, Prince Hyungshik and Minister Kim finally came to their house. They brought the infamous glass slipper and let Siwan and Hyunseung tried it. It fits their foot, but none of them could give an exact rapestare like Heechul did.
“By any chance, is there any young girl/boy who lived here beside the two of you?” Prince Hyungshik asked.
“No, there isn’t.” Lady Key replied. “I have only two sons. Are they not pretty enough for you?!”
“No.” Hyungshik shook his head. “There’s someone that stole my heart already.” He walked approaching Siwan. “You mentioned his name before at the ball. You know where he is, right?!”
“W-what do you mean?!” Siwan’s face turned pale. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Where is Heechul?” Hyungshik yelled. “I want him!”
“Did someone just calling out my name?” Heechul asked, he suddenly appeared from the kitchen.
“Heechulie!” Hyungshik yelped excitedly. “You’re here!! I found you!”
“Wait, Prince Hyungshik. There must be a mistake, the ‘Heechul’ you’re looking for can’t be our Heechul. He didn’t come to the dance ball.”
“Oh yes he came,” Prince Hyungshik said. “He’s the girl I danced with at the ball.”
“No way!” Lady Key shrieked. “OH MY GOD JUNG HEECHUL YOU CROSS-DRESSED?!”
“Oh well, I did.” Heechul admitted shyly.
“Ahem, anyway, let’s try the slipper to make sure you’re the one we’ve been searching for.” Said the minister. He bent on his knee and helped Heechul to wear the slipper. As expected, it fits his beautiful foot perfectly. His stepmother and stepbrothers couldn’t help not to cry in frustration.
“Chajatta nae sarang…” Hyungshik smiled and kissed Heechul’s backhand once again. “Will you marry me?”
“I do.” Heechul replied.
So Prince Hyungshik took Heechul to the palace and they held the merriest wedding party ever. They vowed in front of Priest Kevin to love each other until the end of time and finally, they lived happily ever after.
Lady Key hasn’t given up yet, he forced Heechul to ask Hyungshik to tell his brother Prince Junhyung to marry his son, Hyunseung. As for Siwan, he met the royal clown, Hwang Kwanghee that has ability to gradually change his face, and fell in love with him. They’re married and live happily on a cookie cottage in the jungle. As for Lady Key, he had affair with Minister Kim Jonghyun and both were forced to leave the palace because of that.
