Tae NamYoon, notorius criminal mastermind, executer of unspeakable, ungodly acts, a true menace to society! ...Or so they said. You're a well known, established, and well respected investigative journalist, in South Korea. A foreigner who'd moved there several years ago, you've since garnered quite a favorable name and reputation for yourself. Your brother and his partner Ho JoonSu, both of whom you are very close with, are lead detectives on this massive case; a nation wide man hunt for the elusive criminal Tae NamYoon, who's believed to have murdered a staggering number of people, as well as committed several other heinous acts... but did he really? As you look over the complex papers and files being close with the lead detectives made you privilege to, all for the umpteenth time, you couldn’t help but doubt the facts. Something about it didn't feel quite right... One night, you're walking home from the station after bugging your brother and JoonSu yet again for an inside scoop into the Tae NamYoon case, when you get the eerie feeling you're being watched...

Jamie dropped by his sister's apartment one day because she asked him to pick something up for her and bring it to her. Jamie comes into the apartment and is on his way to his sister's room when when he hears you singing in the shower and can't help stopping to listen.

Recently back from war, you're completely drained physically, mentally and emotionally. And yet, being the high-ranking person of nobility you are, seeing as your intelligence and battle prowess had earned your country a landslide victory, you're curently forced to entertain foreign emissaries vying for your favor. Normally, you're able to laugh at the ridiculous gifts and offers brought before you in hopes of a trade for either peace, alliance or both with the country in question; the most laughable included being presented with endless parades of heirs you're expected to marry for the purpose of union. Today, you aren't finiding those offers quite as amusing. Currently you were frowning down at a pair of handsome twins at your feet, both with bowed heads and eyes that refused to meet your gaze. Just to be sure you heard correctly, you ask again, were they really meant to be a "gift" to you? You're egarly informed that yes, they're very much a gift, meant to do with as you please. Disgusted, you intend to sent the lot of them away, retreat for some much needed R&R, only the emissary puts a stop to this by informing you the twins are criminals by way of high-treason to the crown. Inquiring what would happen to them should you turn them away, you're swiftly informed that they'll be executed. Gut knotted, cursing your blasted empathy, you ask what their crime is. The answer is infuriating; their royal princess had wanted the twins as her bed slaves, and as they'd refused her, they'd been charrged with high treason. You felt your blood boil at this revolting revelation. Beyond furious your roar shook the walls as you drove the emissary from your presence. He made to collect the twins and flee, but your vicious command nearly fainted him - the twins stayed!

Pacing back and forth, you feel your irritation mounting with each passing minute. You worked for a large, high-end shipping company, and you were in charge of taking and placing orders. You were waiting for a trucker to pick up a particularly big, important load, and your nerves were shot because they were running late. You knew it was your ass on the line and damn did you ever NOT want to deal with that, especially over someone else's screw up. You picked up the phone, dialled dispatch, asked, yet again, where this pain in your ass was. And yet again, you were assured the driver was en route, they had an impeccable record, never been late and was usually early. In a mood, you ask what the driver's name was. Informed the driver's name was Jordan, you're then asked why that was relevant. You inform dispatch that you wanted to know who to blame when he got you fired because HE was late for the load. Their "Actually-" was cut off when you hung up after hearing a set of air brakes engaging outside - FINALLY! It was impossible to see the driver through the reflection of the truck's front window, so you stopped several feet from the massive semi, waited for the big dumbass to show himself. Door opening, a pair of boots dropped to the gravel behind it. You waited to lace into the driver with the verbal barrage you'd been rehearsing in your head all morning. But that barage nearly choked you as it caught in your throat, when the door slammed to reveal, not a big burly, hairy ape, but a beautiful young woman - an evidently very peeved looking young woman. Composing yourself, straightening to your full height with an air of confidence you no longer felt, you waited for her to approach you, inquired quite civilly, as to why she was late. It only took a few seconds for you to feel like an idiot, as you realized she wasn't to blame for the delay - you were. Only question was, do you fess up & apologize, or do you act cool & play off your not so smooth move?

(Prince #4) Visiting new places is always exciting. As a tourist in a foreign country, this was no exception for you. You'd been browsing the local market, souvenir shopping, when suddenly out of nowhere, a handsome young man rushed past you and dove into a pile of goods. After a few moments, he did a doubletake between the street he was looking up, and your face. Noicing you gawking at him in bewlderment, he grins wide at you and lifts a finger to his lips. "Oh, please, ignore me I beg you! Don't let on you saw me!" Blinking at him a moment, you quickly avert your gaze, just as a severe looking woman appoaches, looking extremely irritated. "Sebastian! ...Sebastian!!!" With a low growl the woman truges on, and you can't help feeling uncomfortable, wondering if the woman was his girlfriend or wife, and if you should have said something afterall. But before you can decide, the man pops up grinning like a fool again. "Brilliant! Bloody well done! On my word, I'll repay you for this! Cheers, mate!" After a quick playful bow, the man turns and lights off in the opposite direction the woman had gone. Shaking your head, you think nothing more of the strange occurance - until later that day. Following a rukus in the town square, you find the royal family is gathered atop a large platform, and you balk to see the man from earlier there with them, dressed in a fancy getup with a crown, and looking bored out of his mind. Apparently, each of the seven royal heirs are to choose a civilian to accompany them for the annual festivities later that night.

(Prince # 2) Depending who you asked, summer vacation is meant for travelling and new experiences; that was your hope at least when you followed your friend, whom was a proud native, to a beautiful country halfway across the world for your break. You'd only been in the country for a few days out of the month you intended to stay, and already you were completely enamored with the country, culture and people. Currently, you and your friend are trying to deicde what to see next on your fun-filled adventure. Your friend has a suggestion, but you're not overly thrilled about it. She wants to go and see the new local exhibit at the museum; a massive collection recently generously donated by the royal family, all items and memorabilia pertaining to the family and their history. You're completely disinterested in the idea; as you express to her, as far as you're concerned, the very notion from the royals is a narcissistic one. Who wants to pay money to see their leftovers and things they deem unworthy to hang onto any more? Besides, they're probably all a bunch of spoiled pampered people anyway. Before you, your friend has gone several shades paler. Seeing her face you apologize, tell her you know she's a proud native and proud of her culture, and you mean no disrespect, you just never could get behind the idea of idolizing another person. You then proceed to go on a bit of a rant about royalty in general, while your friend frantically tries to shut you up. "Shut up... shut up!... No seriously, SHUT UP!!" Eventually giving up, your friend eventually begins to vehemently appologize in a low bow to someone behind you. Curious as to who's got her so flustered, you turn around to see a handsome young man behind you, an extremely amused look on his face. The man asks if you're tourists, and after confirming and introducing yourselves, you stick out your hand for the man to shake.

(Prince #1) Once, a little boy was born to an overjoyed King & Queen, each with very different visions for the baby's future. The King wanted a powerful warrior whose name would shake fear into the hearts of enemies. The Queen wanted a man who would be beloved by his people. Both got their wish. While indeed a formidable warrior, Prince Chikondi is a bonafide teddy bear, & a teddy Prince indeed beloved by all fortunate to know him. With a soft spot for his mother, learning of her dream to see the world, he was quick to organize a tour of it with her & gift the trip as her birthday present. ♡ In a flowershop a world away from Chikondi's homeland, there was a flourist busily working to complete a mountain of orders. Beside you, your employee's nose is in a magazine, gusheing over an article about a foreign prince who's visiting your town. Apparently the two would be travelling incognito, wanting to have as "normal" an experience as possible. She gushed over the fact that the Prince was so good to his mother, that he was single, that he would surely treat his wife like a Queen, & of course over how dreamily handsome he was. Then she scolded you for having virtually no interest in the topic at all. Shop bell chiming, signalling a new customer, your employee made to welcome the guest, but for some reason nearly choked at the sight of them. The newcommer approaches the counter, asks to place an order for a special bouquet. Currently swamped, without looking, you tell the customer you're busy & can't accept. The customer asks you to reconsider, assuring he's willing to pay handsomely for the service, it's for a very specal occassion, & he heard and he heard your shop was the best. Extremely annoyed, you look up at the customer, give him the stink eye, point blank state; his money doesn't make you any less busy, everyone's occassions are important, buttering you up won't get him what he wants, & just who does he think he is anyway, not taking no for an answer?

In all the time you've known the members, specifically Bon-Hwa, you've never known him to be shaken by anything. Having become wildly popular and high in demand, TFD has just finished a massive worldwide tour. The members not only deserve a nice relaxing break, they also desperately need it. Unfortunately, the label has other ideas. Currently you're on the phone with the label, fighting with them over their ludicrous demand to have the members immediately jump into another taxing bout of public events, appearances and another massive concert. Of course, you want to give them a break, but with the threat of your job on the line, the outcome of the arguement is looking grim. Eventually, knowing that if you're fired your replacement won't be someone with the group's best interest at heart, you reluctantly end the call with the promise to talk to the members and see what can be done. With your elbows propped on your desk, face in your hands, feeling more stressed than you can recall ever feeling, you can't even begin to restrin the heartsick groan that rumbles out of you.

It was the morning of a huge show for TFD, one that would have the eyes of half the world on them. Currently you're styling Chung-Hee's hair while he characteristically chats it up with his other members eitherside of him.

Falling back against the door you close your eyes a moment, wanting nothing more than to crawl into bed and sleep. Unfortunately for you, that's not likely to happen soon. Opening your eyes you see a pretty young woman sitting on your couch, no doubt your new roommate. She's got a steaming mug before her on the coffee table, a bow and set of arrows leaning against the arm of the couch beside some luggage, and two books open on her lap. You had no idea about the content of the books, but you had a feeling they were no fairytales or romance flips. Yep, this woman was no doubt a bit of an oddity...
