There was nowhere to run, they were stuck at the edge of the cliff. The sound of horses and palace guards were coming near. "Prince Choi! They're here!" Yelled Shin, Prince Choi's loyal servant.
Prince Choi held his beloved's hand tightly as he took deep breath. "I'll hold them here, it's me they want. Let Shin take you run to the forest."
Princess Cho, cries. "How can you say that? I won't go anywhere."
"Princess please-"
"No!"
"You know they'll separate us if they catch us."
"Then they won't." Princess Cho hugged Prince Choi with the unstoppable tears running down onto her cheek. "We won't let them. I don't want to marry another man, I don't want to live without you. Let's just jump, let's jump together and never have to worry about this cruel world anymore."
Prince Choi looked at his Princess sad eyes, and slowly gave gentle kiss on her lips. He held her hands still and took her to walk even closer to the edge. "Are you sure, Princess?"
Princess didn't say any words, just held Prince's arm as tight as she possibly could. There's no doubt, as long as she's with her lover, she's not afraid of anything. Not even death.
Before stepping forward, Prince turned his head around for the last time to look at his loyal servant. "Shin... promised me one thing. When it's all over, do pray for me and my Princess at the temple. Please wish me and Princess Cho to meet again in the future. To be reunited- eternally."
Shin cried. "Y... yyes, your Highness. I will..."
"Take care of yourself."
"Prince Choi..."
No more talking, Prince Choi had said enough to almost everyone. He had tried tried to convince his parents and his people that his love to Princess Cho was uncurable. He didn't care if two of the emperors were in a big war. Money, throne and lands were aboslutely not his concerns. Only Princess Cho.
While looking at his beautiful lover, Prince Choi stepped forward. He held Princess Cho in his arms, never going to let her go for no matter reason. Both of them then fell off from the high cliff, flew and brought by the heavy night air. No more suffer, no more angst, no more fighting,
"I'll see you again soon, my love." Whispered Princess Cho, while feeling that her tears were randomly swept by the fall. "Remember these words. You have to wait for me. Wait for me..."
Then...
the sea swallowed them. Along with their true and eternal love, the deep and wild dark sea... swallowed them.
"Prince Choi!!!" Shin cried, fell on his knees and mourned for his one and only Master. "Prince Choi-!!"
Few minutes later, the palace guards and their horses finally came. But they found nothing on the cliff, but Shin the servant. Prince Choi was nowhere in sight, disapeared due to wars of two mighty kingdoms that lust for power. Only their memory left behind, their memory and their promise to meet again soon in the future.
***
Centuries later...
"Lord!!!" Choi Siwon yelled out of shock. He wakes up in sudden, full with sweat and sadness. "Where's she? Where's my Princess?!!"
Shin Dong tries to calm him by holding his shoulder, press him back onto the luxurious bed. "You need to stay calm, Siwon-Ah."
"But I just regain my memory! You... you look fat, Shin!"
"Do you remember all?"
"Yes!"
"Good, then the flower spell works."
Siwon frowns. "What flower?"
Shin Dong pauses for a moment, hold him self back together to be able to re-tell the whole story. "That moment, after you and Princess Cho drowned, I went to the mountain. I was too sad to let you go. So I climbed, day and night untill I found the mysterious temple- old people were telling.
I met a monk there, who told me to climb further to the top to get the famous Kyuwon flower. The effort was worth it. I got the magic flower which I must keep in order to stay alive for hundred of years, so I can find you again in the future. The magic flower guides me. Years after years I've been looking and now I've finally found you...
You, Siwon-Ah, is Prince Choi's reincarnation. The flower said so. It took a while, but then finally it shines bright and withered into seeds again. I put the seeds inside your drink, let you drink it in order to gain your memory back. And now here you are, you remember..."
Siwon looks at Shin Dong with watery eyes, can't seem to hold back his sadness and gladness at the same time. "Hyung, I'm glad we meet again. You've been very loyal to me all this time. But then, how can I find my Princess? Is she also re-born in this century?"
Shin Dong nods. "I believe so."
"Where is she, hyung? Oh my God- I miss her so much." Said Siwon desperately. "I remember her scent, her eyes, her voice. I promise to keep her for the rest of my life, for now no one will ever dare to separate us again. I won't let that happen."
Shin Dong exhales long breath. "I'm sorry Siwon-Ah, my obligation to myself is only to find you. You're my Prince, my best-friend. If you want to see Princess Cho, you need to find her by yourself."
Siwon startles. "Bb...but how?"
"You have the magic flower inside you, I'm sure it'll guide you to her."
"Oh my God- hyung. It's too hard for me..."
"I know, my Prince." Shin Dong smiles. "But now that your memory returns, I'm sure you'll be better. Just take a rest first, you're taking too much information for a day. No one must know that the reason you're sick during the concert is because of the flower effect."
Siwon nods. "Of course, no one will believe anyway. I'll take care of it."
***
"Hyung!" Ryeowook is the first one to enter the room, two days after Choi Siwon's incident during the concert. "Hyung, are you allright? You were collapse backstage, we tought they brought you to hospital."
Siwon tries to sit, piling his pillows tall to manage a 45 degrees position so he can see all of the members coming. "I'm sorry to bother you all, but I'm fine. I'm strong."
"Strong people don't faint." Cut Cho Kyuhyun, his evil magnae.
"Well apparently I was having anemia."
"Amnesia?"
"Anemia, low blood pressure. Kyu."
"I knew that."
"Then why did you say amnesia?"
"I didn't say that."
"Yes, you did."
"No, I didn't."
"Yes, you did. You gotta admit you're wrong sometimes."
"I wasn't wrong, I never wrong. I'm smarter than you. Muscular person like you are usually stupid, no exception."
"Fine, whatever." Siwon is too exhausted to be able to argue with Kyu. No one wins again Kyuhyun, the way he answers most of the time always makes others angry. From low blood pressure, arguing with Kyu, will certainly gives Siwon high blood pressure. "Zhou Mi, Henry... you guys also came."
"Ni hao ma, Siwon-ge?" Asked Henry, while coming closer and gives Siwon a warm hug.
"I'm fine." Siwon smiles. "You guys please go downstairs and get some bite. I've ordered my maids to prepare all of your favorite meals. Go and have lunch together."
"Yohooo!" Screams Eunhyuk. "Let's go Donghae!"
"Can my turtle eat too?" Ask Yesung, while walking beside Leeteuk.
"Hoi Kyuhyun-Ah, accompany Siwon for a minute while I go grab my lunch and take it here." Said Shin Dong, pointing at Siwon's empty side of the bed. Kyuhyun doesn't seem to please. "Why me?"
"Coz you're the magnae." Answers Shin Dong.
"It's not like you can always order me around coz I'm the magnae."
"Yes, I can. Normal people would just obey and say yes."
Siwon nudges Kyu's arm. "Pretend you're normal and just say yes."
Forcefully, Kyu pout. "YES!"
Siwon laughs a bit, this witty and rude magnae sometimes uncontrollable. But as soon as Shin Dong out of the room with the other members, Kyu sits comfortably next to him. His face shows that he's in a bad mood, fold his hands and pouting his pink lips.
Siwon holds his breath for a moment. "You're a good kid, Kyu. Why always so grumpy?"
Kyu turns a bit. "It's in my nature, Siwon-ssi. Just like Eunhyuk-hyung is born Monkey, Yesung-hyung is born psycho, Ryeowook is born girly and Heechul-hyung is born... ummm... weird?"
Siwon frowns. "Is it burdens you to be here with me?"
"Well yeah, since I'm not eating and it's totally boring."
"Wanna hear a story?"
"Better not be about buiding abs or how Jesus became a zombie and rose after three days of his death." Threats Kyu.
Again, his witty magnae makes him laugh. "No, it's about my dream. Last night I finally dream about finding my long lost lover. That she'll meet me on Han-bridge a week from now, under the bright sun, exactly around midday."
Kyu turns and frowns. "Hey. Just because we're in your bedroom and laying side by side, doesn't mean we need to go deep." He refused to listen further. Kyu likes to discuss something lighter and funnier, not a serious story like Siwon just told him. Luckily when he's about to get even bored, Shin Dong shows up with a plate full of food. "Kyu! you can go now."
"Yay!" Kyu laughs, happily leaves the bed and runs downstairs to join with the other members. Having delicious and expensive lunch from Choi's family menu.
Now that Shin Dong is alone with Siwon, he sits beside the bed and starts asking. "Tell me, about the dream you've mentioned on SMS."
"Yes, hyung." Siwon smiles. "The dream must happened because of the Kyuwon flower's effect inside of me. I will meet Princess Cho reincarnation on Han-bridge, around 12 PM. She'll be wearing pink outfit and bring Dianthus flowers. Apparently Dianthus is also a reincarnation for Kyuwon flower, the same as me and Princess Cho."
While eating, Shin Dong looks excited about the story. "Great then! Prepare yourself, Siwonnie. You'll meet the love of your life, the one you've waited for ages ago. Both of you will be reunited! Happily ever after!"
Siwon laughs in joy, hugs his hyung tight, doesn't care that the chubby guy almost choke on his food. Siwon's imagination runs wildly sweet, the meeting will happen in a week. He is very excited, very happy, very hopeful.
***
So... here it is.
Siwon can't hide his happiness, his smile is wide open when takes a deep breath and smells the sincerity of lovely afternoon. God is full of mercy, sky is full of bless and destiny never tastes this good. He will meet the love of his life again, will now live with no more fear.
He wears white tuxedo, comb his hair with gel, and spray the nicest perfume. Siwon is well prepared. The reincarnation of Princess Cho will come in any minute. Just need to wait a little bit longer... a little bit...
THAT!
Who is that? There is a girl coming, walking on the top of the bridge. A very beautiful girl with long black hair, straight and some are blown gracefully by the afternoon wind. She also wears a gorgeous pink dress, politely stop at the edge of her knees. Oh my God... is that Princess Cho? Is that really the reincarnation of his lovely Princess?
Choi Siwon walks slowly to the bridge, encourage himself to get closer and hold his emotional heart beat. Is she the long-lost lover? Is she? Oh- please let it be her...
"Excuse me..." Siwon greets. Doesn't take any longer for the girl to turn her head and startle by him. She seems surprise, the fact that a famous singer and actor from Super Junior is standing in front of her now... is too overwhelming. "You... you're Choi Siwon from Super Junior, right?"
"Yes, I am."
"Oh my God...!"
"Please, don't be surprised. I'm here because I think I dreamt about you."
The girl smiles happily. "Really?"
"Yes. And for that, I need to ask you a question. Only one question if you don't mind." Asked Siwon.
She tries as hard as she can to hide her nervousness. "Oh my God, sure..."
Siwon takes a deep breath, already drowns by the beauty of that bright skin girl. "What's your name?"
The girl gupls. "Cho Mi Nam."
CHO! Siwon laughs inside his heart. This girl's family name is Cho, exactly as the prophecy told him in his dream. A girl on Han-bridge, wearing pink dress and named Cho in front. The girl doesn't bring any flower though, but that's okay... everything is match with the description in his dream. What is the meaning of flowers anyway? No need.
Siwon smiles, showing his dangerous dimples which successfully will melt any girls' heart. He has found his Princess now, he just need to start all over again. Their true love. "I know this sounds strange, I don't expect you to believe it either. But I believe destiny brought us together here, and I would like to make a fresh start. I am Choi Siwon. For the world, I might be the famous Korean star. But for you... it will be only Choi Siwon."
"Again..." The girl smiles, sweetly. "Cho Mi Nam."
As Siwon is about to move his hand and shake the pretty girl's hand, a familiar disturbing voice comes from distance. "Siwon-ssi!!"
***
Again he heard. "Siwon-ssi!"
Siwon turns his head back and suddenly see Cho Kyuhyun, his devilish magnae run toward him. What the hell is he doing here? It's Suju's break day, he's supposed to take some holiday in some places. Not here. Difinately not at Han-bridge!
"Siwon-ssi..." Kyuhyun stops. Siwon is freezing there, with buldging eyes and open mouth watching as Kyu reaches him. OH MY FREAKING GOD!!!
That damn boy, Cho Kyuhyun. Is now standing in front of Siwon, wearing pink T-shirt, white pants and holding bouquet of pink strange flowers. What again?? Pink T-shirt and a bouquet of strange pink flowers? Whh... what??!
"Whh..." Siwon startled of shock. "Wwhat are you doing here?!"
"Seeing you."
"How did you know I'm here?"
"You told me before. Last week, in your corny dream, since you're a corny man. You told me you had a dream of meeting a girl at this bridge. So I thought I'd join you here since there's nothing to do. Tadada..!"
Siwon massages his own forehead out of confusion, shock and also sudden headache. "I don't get it, Kyu. Are you here to ruin my date?"
Kyu shakes his head, and grins. "I'm not trying to ruin anything, I'm just... bored. And you should be grateful, I'm here to help you. You're about to date a girl of your dream but you didn't bring her any flower? Said you're a gentleman? Chh..." Kyu then glances at Cho Mi Nam. "Oh- is that the girl? She's beautiful. Although honestly, she dresses like my grandma."
"Kyu!" Screams Siwon shortly. Still startled by the fact that Kyuhyun is there, wearing everything match to the description of Princess Cho's reincarnation also. "What are those pink flowers?"
"Oh- these? I wanna get you roses, but the store was running out of them."
"So what are those?!"
"Umm... wait, it sounds weird. Umm... Dianthus flowers? Yes, Dianthus."
You will soon meet your Princess. She will be re-born by the family named of Cho, just like she used to be named. Exactly a week from now, you will meet this person at Han-bridge around midday. Your Princess will wear pink clothes and bring the reincarnation of Kyuwon's magic flowers. Dianthus. Your Princess will be there... and you will know it is her...
Again, Siwon checks. Cho Kyuhyun... Cho! Wearing pink T-shirt, walking on Han-bridge, holding Dianthus flowers. All checked. That means it's true! It's not Cho Mi Nam at all. Instead- Cho Kyuhyun is his real Princess Cho!
No! Impossible!! No no no no no no noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Aaargh!! I'm going crazy!" Siwon doesn't care about his gel again, he rubs his hair messily and walks away from those two strange people. Cho Mi Nam the beautiful lady looks confuse, she's trying to call Siwon over and over again but receives no reply. Siwon keeps walking, stepping out of the bridge. "Wait Siwon oppa! What about our destiny?"
"Excuse me. Permission to abandon you?" Kyuhyun handles his bouquet to Cho Mi Nam. "Here, have these, they smell like papaya. And buy a ticket to our next concert!" He said, before running away from the girl. Kyu chases Siwon, whom luckily not yet walking too far from him. "Siwon-ssi!"
Siwon turns, but still walking forward. "Why do you have to wear pink shirt today, Kyu?! huh!"
"What?" Kyu protests. "It looks good on me."
"Oh my God- I can't believe this..."
"Yes, never believes in God. He is constantly wrong."
"God is never wrong! He never makes mistake!"
Kyu frowns. "Gee- I don't know about that, Pastor. Inovating nuclear, spreading AIDS, creating a pedophile Santa, making some testicles on the outside part of the bodies..."
Unbelievable. Siwon smirks to himself. "This is a nightmare, my destiny is a nightmare. You... are Cho Kyuhyun, you're like the meanest person in the world. You don't even have a soul. Oh God- I should get away from you now. Please, leave me alone."
Choi Siwon walks faster, tries to avoid being together with his evil magnae. But Kyu is still desperately following Siwon. The boy runs a bit faster and yells in standard tone. "Honestly I don't understand why you're being this angry to me. But Siwon-ssi, buy me lunch first before I go- will you?"
"Siwon-ssi, you have to wait for me!" He calls again. "Wait for me!"
Remember these words. You have to wait for me. Wait for me...
The voice of Princess Cho is clinging in Siwon's head again, reminds him that his one true love is right there all along. And no matter what form is she into, Siwon must accept her. Doesn't matter if she's turning into a he, walking O, too pale, has gained weigh alot, blunt mouth-ed, sweats like waterfalls, believes that Santa is a pedophile and bravely say that Jesus is a freaking zombie.
Siwon stops walking, stay still for a while before turning around and watch as Kyu comes nearer. Seeing a grin on Kyu's face, Siwon can only put an abstract face and sigh. "Fine, let's buy you some lunch."
"Thank you my dear banker."
"Just shut up."
"But hey- what happen with the pretty lady in grandma's dress back there?"
"She's nothing." Said Siwon while grabbing Kyu's arm and pull him onto the right direction of the trotoar. Being with him like this, witnessing all of the proves, Siwon realizes that he can't let his Princess go again. Not anymore. Eventhough it is very weird and unexpectable, but if Cho Kyuhyun is his long lost Princess reincarnation, then he'll protect him in anyway he could.
Whatever it takes, whomever she has become, the feeling will never change. Ugh- he just have to adaptate on the fact that he will need to love and own this boy for the rest of his life. A very annoying boy.
***
"Oh goodie- pork stew! Can I buy that?" Asked Kyu, happily.
With amount of pressure, Siwon bitterly smiles. "It maybe hard for you to believe. But from this now on, you can have anything you want. And I mean... anything."
