Summary: This is a story of a Crown Prince and an ordinary boy from two different worlds who are brought by fate and get tangled in a complicated relationship. Are they the perfect one for each other?
The door to the lunch room is opened. Everyone gasps for breathe the moment the Crown Prince is entering in, shiny black shoes making an elegant sound which is echoing in the still silenced lunch room. He walks, all handsome and brilliant; the guards with broad body all walking behind him. The atmosphere is so thick.
The Crown Prince walks into the corner of the lunch room, only stopping when he reaches his destination by the end of the bench, only separated by the table covered with dirty kimchi fried rice.
The announced boy freezes, eyes locked with the Crown Prince’s brown ones. The friend beside him gently nudges his arm, waking him up from his stunned state.
Crown Prince—Kim Jonghyun—speaks: “Kim Kibum, come with me.”
Silence—
—before people cheer out loud. Everyone congratulates him and he—Kim Kibum—could only blink his eyes, hearing various words from people, most of them are his friends cheer and congratulate him; the sounds are so loud and it is deafening his ears.
He is still frozen when some people grab his hand for a handshake and some even hug him to congratulate him.
Girls and boys are holding onto their phone, recording, taking photo, and some calling their friends, parents, grandparents about the news.

{FANCAM} Prince Jonghyun entering the lunchroom to come and get his spouse! (5:49)
{FANCAM} Kim Kibum frozen (10:59)
Kibum is still frozen by the time his phone rings. It is an incoming call. From his mom.
“...m-mom?” He whispers into the phone; the presence of the Crown Prince in front of him is a bit frightening.
“Kibum-ah, calm down, okay? I know you are confused and all, but for now, take a deep breath, honey,” and Kibum does so, “and before you question anything to me and I can’t answer it for you, come with the Prince and follow him. I’m in palace with the Queen right now.”
“What!? Mom!”
“Yes. Now, go and follow the Prince.” The phone call is ended.
Kibum hesitantly rises from his seat; his friends are giving him a clear way to walk. It’s the Prince’s spouse.
The Prince turns on his heels, walking ahead and Kibum sighs before following him behind. He could hear the guards are walking behind him and it sends shiver down his body. The walk out from the lunch room towards the special parking lot feels so far and Kibum gulps down his saliva.
Oh God, yes, God. It’s limousine!
The door is opened for him and after seeing the Prince gets into the other sit, Kibum follows suit with thumping heart. Who wouldn’t, because oh God, oh God, oh God, I’m sitting in the same car as the Crown Prince of the nation.
The car drives away and Kibum can see the group of royal cars is following behind. It feels like—
He grabs onto his hair and pulls them, relieving the stress but nothing changes though. He is still sitting there with the Prince and he really, really, really cannot believe this.
“Are you serious...?” Kibum whispers the question to the Prince, only to have it disappears into the thin air for being ignored. It is really maddening; the silence. Kibum grumbles under his breath, oh no, he can’t let the Prince hear him saying look at him, ignoring people like the rude man he is, who does he think he is, oh I forget he is the Prince of the nation! How lovely!
The car stops in front of the white high gates leading to the palace. Kibum gapes at the view. This can’t be real. He presses his face to the window, staring at the long path from the front gate to the palace; not noticing the silent chuckle the Crown Prince lets out by watching him acts like this. Kibum swears, the path is way too long and the guards who are guarding the long path are so many. And the garden; don’t let Kibum start with it. It is so beautiful, with colorful flowers and all.
He steps down from the car when the door is opened and Kibum yelps silently when the guards are bowing to him in ninety degree. It’s the first for him.
Prince Jonghyun walks ahead and Kibum remembers his mom’s words of follow the Prince. Yeah sure, he will be lost in this huge place anyway if he doesn’t follow him.
They are being led to the huge room which Kibum concludes as the living room when he sees the portrait of the royal family and expensive sofas. There he finds his mom and the Queen.
“Mom!”
A woman, whom Kibum thinks as the Queen’s secretary, is telling them to sit comfortably on the sofa. The Queen smiles beautifully and she claps her hands in delight.
“Welcome to the palace, Kibum. We are sorry for the inconvenience. My secretary will explain everything to you. Taeyeon, explain to them.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Mrs. Kim and Your Master Kibum, we are truly sorry for the sudden announcement. We bring you here because you must be very confused with this. The announcement is a royal command and according to the law and constitution number 6571 about royal marriage and matrimony, you cannot refuse this.”
The Prince steals a glance at the silent boy.
“For now, there will be held the engagement ceremony in the upcoming week. The marriage ceremony will be held after the Crown Prince Jonghyun and Young Master Kibum graduate from high school. Young Master’s normal life still can go on, but Your Master will get a few guards. There will be a few new rules for Young Master. From Monday to Thursday, Your Master can live at your own house, but on Friday to Sunday, Young Master must live in the palace for Young Master to get used with the life in the palace. We will demand Young Master to stop his part-time job. This is the book of saving account for Young Master and you can use this for everything.”
“Kibum’s mom, you can still continue your job as a nurse as usual,” says the Queen, “and for Kibum, son, I hope you can watch your attitude since you are now the attention of the nation.”
It is silence as everyone in the room is trying to digest every word. Secretary Kim asks, “Is there any question, Young Master?”
Kibum rises up from his seat, taking all of the attentions to him.
“Just... Just what are you all talking about!?”
To say that everyone is taken aback is an understatement. They can see just how mad Kibum is.
“I haven’t even say yes or what, but all of you have already talk as if I’m not here! I don’t even know this Crown Prince!” Kibum hisses, finger pointing onto the Prince.
The Crown Prince flinches.
“How can you suddenly tell me that I have to marry him!?”
His mother grabs his wrist and pulls him down, “Kibum, calm down...”
“Young Master Kibum, according to the law and constitution number 6571 about royal marriage and matrimony, you cannot refuse this. I’m sure you also understand this law, don’t you, Young Master?”
Scoffing, Kibum sighed loudly as to show his annoyance.
“I am sure Kibum’s mom also understands about this law, right? So, please tell Kibum son about this and persuade him.” The Queen says calmly.
“Kibum-ah, it is okay,” whispers his mother. Kibum gapes, “How is it okay, Mom? My life is being controlled like this!”
For the first time ever since they arrive at the palace, the Crown Prince speaks, “It is your destiny to be born in this nation.”
Kibum closes his mouth and glares at the Prince. He scoffs.
The Queen stops this from getting any further. “Kibum will have a personal secretary.”
A woman steps forward and bows at him. “My name is Hwang Miyoung and I will serve Young Master Kibum.”
Secretary Kim starts again, “Starting tomorrow, there will be a car waiting for Young Master Kibum to take him to the school and anywhere else.”
“This must be hard for you at first, but I want you to get used with this,” says the Queen before telling them that they can go home and rest, as a car is already waiting for them outside.
“Mom, how can you be so calm!?” Kibum protests to his mom as soon as they are dropped at their house. His mom sighs and sits beside him, a hand on his shoulder.
“We can’t do anything, Kibum.”
Kibum grips onto his shirt, head hanging low. There is a lot of things going on in his mind and he feels like crying. And cry he does.
“Do you realize that our life won’t be the same like yesterday?” He whispers softly to his mom. When she is not answering, he adds, “...do you realize that I will be leaving you alone here...?”
Tears roll down his face and he cries. He hears soft sobbing coming from his mom and he hugs her.
“You don’t have to think about this old woman...” She whispers back, smiling as she kisses the top of his head.
Kibum cries against her shoulder. Sometimes life is just so unfair to him.
He just doesn’t know yet what kind of surprise this unfairness will show him; the unfairness that will turn his world upside down in the future.
