REMEMBERING

She let out a sigh.

" Look, I can tell that you are a bit confused so I will explain everything later, okay". She turned to the boys who were laughing but stopped when they saw her Highness staring at them.

"She doesn't go out much, she is ignorant, so please take care of her. And least I forgot that her colour tone, chocolate."

The queen said to them. That was when I thought about why they weren't shocked to see me with a different skin tone.

" Yes your Highness". They said in unison.

" Good". She turned her attention back to me.

"As I was saying, since we don't have an heir to our Kingdom my husband and I decided to pick one of the Princes from other kingdoms, as the candidates. We have chosen the youngest son from each Kingdom and will give them a test to see who fits to be the King".

"And where do I fit in?".

I crossed my arm over my chest. My mind is a mess right now...As of the moment I believe that I am either kidnapped or in a weird dream.

"You.. my dear will be going to help us decide that. You will pick a king".

"What did you just say?"..

" I'm not going to repeat it, since I know that you have heard what I said".

" Fine!..you want me to decide? okay..then Namjoon!" I pointed to Prince Kim Namjoon (Mr. Dimple) if I remember correctly. He was slightly taken aback and a confused expression was replaced on his face.

"Do you want to be a king?".

" I..uhm.. yes". He said, unsure of his answer. It made me wonder if the expression on my face had forced him to say yes.

"Good then you'll be the King".

"Hey!.. wait! but that is not how you decide it". Prince Jungkook said.

"Fine then you are the King too!". I said.

"What do you mean? You can't have more than one King".

"Gentlemen, please let all of us talk about it". Prince Jin tried to calm us down.

" Oh, Prince Jin, you nearly escaped my mind, you can be the King too". I stated.

"Uhm".

"Hey, it is not fair. We wanna be king too!". The twins said.

"Fine! You're all kings! In fact all of you are kings!!.

"Yay!" Prince Tae said.

"No!". Haste Prince Jin

" This is ridiculous!". Prince J-hope sighed.

" Is that even possible?" Prince Jimin chime in while Prince Jungkook just shook his head as if he doesn't care. Prince MinYoon just gave them a savage look.

" Hold it!" The Queen finally shouted. She probably disagreed with my decision. Her head snapped in my direction and I winked under her gaze.

" You must take this seriously!".

" But why me?". I whined, she could have chosen other girls, right?

I don't even do my homework correctly and they expect me to pick a King in their play?

" Well, you're the only girl who wasn't drooling at their pictures during the release of the game". She lowered her voice so that only I could hear. I'm guessing that the Prince doesn't know this yet. But no wonder they look familiar. They were the models for that dating simulation game!?.

My eyes widened at the mention of that stupid game at that store. That crap!?".

" Hey, are you..". I tapped my chin as if thinking when I heard.

" I was the old woman who gave you the charm". She explained. I stared at her long and hard, trying to find any resemblance of her to the old lady I helped back at the mall. That is historically not possible!!". She looks young!

"And I was..?".

" Listen..". I raised my fingers and stopped her from whatever she wanted to say.

" I know that you need my help, but I'm very busy and my parents are probably worried about me. Besides, I have no interest or whatsoever in choosing a King. I want to spend this summer sleeping and eating".

" You can do that here...you will have tons of fun". Insisted the Queen.

" No, my parents might be worried about me right now. I must be going". Then when I took a step forward, I stopped and looked around me again.

" And, how can you expect me to have fun when there is no WiFi!". I whimpered.

" No!".

" What do you mean no?".

" It means you are staying "

" Did you really heard what I said?".

" Yes. Don't worry your sister will be just fine, I swear in my name". ..Gosh, is she for real?..I didn't ask of my sister, I asked for WI-FI!!...She turned on her heels and walked over to the guys to tell them about my ' behaviour difficulties '.

Trust her? When she was the one who probably brought me to this place.

I'll make sure I figure a way out of this place. For some reason, I can tell I'm not in Busan now, and only the Queen knows where we are. Maybe if I annoy her, she will send me back. I don't have a problem with that .

That or she could murder me instead of staying here.

Wait..what about that charm that I made the wish from? Maybe that is the key? Perhaps if I can find it, then I will be free from here. Yes, maybe that is it!. All I have to do now is to look for it. But where? If my hunch is correct , then it may be with the Queen. After all, she was the one who gave me the charm .

Feeling something hard in my short pocket, I pulled it out only to find that it was my phone .

I turned my back on them to see if I could get any signal. Nope. No signal . No internet.

" Damn!! this other world is a waste!. Why can't I be transported into a world full of WiFi!?". I cried .

" What happened?". Prince J-hope asked.

. I grumbled

" Nothing".

" Gentlemen!". We finally turned towards the queen , who seemed to be yelling at us. When she saw us turning our attention to her , she let out a sigh of relief .

" I want you boys to take the carriage over there and prepare the horse. It's time to go back ". They went down the grassy path to prepare the carriage that I hadn't seen without any hesitation.

The queen approached me.

" So I guess I have no other choice than to come?". I asked.

" Yep".

" Like seriously, I really don't understand this situation". I said honestly . The back of my head started to hurt.

" You did wish for this, right?". She let out a grin.

" That was a joke! I didn't even know what I was thinking!". Because of my frustrations I yelled.

" Even if you knew it was magical, you're still coming here".

" But I thought you said the charm will grant me anything I desire, right? How come you were so sure that I would wish for this? Did you read my mind ?". I protectively covered my head in case she will read my thoughts again.

" No". She placed a hand on her hip.

" Then how?".

" Well the item I gave you is for the spiritual realms. Humans can't come to this world unless they use that item and wish for it . But as for you, even if you didn't exactly wish for this, you were still coming here ".

" I'm a bit lost..can we speak in human terms... like you kidnap me and throw me in a truck. We sailed across the sea to an uninhabitable island?".

" It seems like your mind still doesn't welcome the idea of supernatural creatures and spiritual realms ". She chuckled.

" Wishes can be alerted or morphed. If you wish to have a lot of money , then I will bring you here and you will have tons of gold money . If you wish for more clothes , then I'll bring you here and give you plenty of dresses . If you wish for a certain person to love you , then I'll give you something better from here, a Prince ".

" Why you..." It finally started to make sense. I had no choice in the first place!

" But it turns out you wished for something better! Wishing that you will end up here! It made my task easier ". She then let out a devious laugh.

Just like what people would say, ' be careful what you wish for'.

" Okay let's just assume I'm playing along and believing what you just said. What was the purpose of the dating game that was released ?"

" It was an illusion that I made".

" What do you mean by that?".

" It was my basis in looking for the perfect girl who will be helping me choose for the future king. You see, if I pick one of those girls who's crazy with those games, then the princes can just use their looks for their advantage . It will be disastrous and I will be banned from my position by God forever!".

"And why will you be banned, by .. God?". I asked. This woman keeps confusing me here.

"Will explain later..all that I can say now is that, our powers were blessings from God..he can take it anytime if we fool". Well, I don't even know why she is blending God with this but..I won't have been interested if I hadn't heard God..I may have mistaken them as evils.

"But wait Oo, I don't even think I'm the only one who isn't interested in that stupid game ".

"True, but you were the only one who passed the second test". I raised my eyebrow at her.

"What do you mean by a second test?".

"Helping an old woman in need has proven your qualification. We all need a lady who is kind". Then she winked.

Kind my ass!. If only she could read my thoughts, then she is surely to think otherwise.
