A day in the Anakt Garden was nothing but a routine. Wake up, play, eat sing, eat, sleep. Nothing out of the ordinary, unless if it was for athletic field events, or singing competitions. 

It was play. Kids ran around, chasing, calling names, enjoying themselves as Miko stood around a group of kids she had met weeks ago, invited by a boy named 'Vanta', whom always seemed so glued to her, so fond of her attention. 

"Guys, Miko! Do you want to play royal family??" 

Vanta had suggested, arriving at Miko's side per usual, nothing the kids would have thought of, not weird, nor obsessive, nor attached, they were just best friends. 

The other kids agreed, already giving themselves a title as "A royal guard!" or "A pretty maid!"

No one claimed the role of 'Princess', having already know someone who would fit that role perfectly. 

"Miko, do you wanna be a princess?" 

Hyuna asked her, oblivious to Vanta's fuming glare, he was supposed to ask her that question, not her. Why does she have to be the one to talk to her, not him? Why was she always trying to be so close to her, getting in her personal space, when it should have been him? Why didn't he get the attention he deserved? 

"Alright." 

"Yay!! Who's going to be the prince charming?" 

It was his time to shine, to claim her recognition, to be her 'Prince Charming' like he wanted to be, just for her, and no one else. To serve, to love, to be with her, and no one else, what a perfect way to make his day. 

"I will!" 

Vanta propped his hand up, grabbing Miko's hand, holding it tightly in his own. 

"I'll protect you, alright princess Miko? Count on me!"

"Okay." 

she responded, expressionless as ever.

"Let the roleplay begin!" 

Hyun Woo lead the group. As 'king', it would be his responsibly to overlook the group, requesting for favours, or holding special banquets. This time, it was a royal tea party.

Vanta would be able to sit beside her, maybe serve her good at times, and probably help her avoid the others as much as he could, if he was her prince charming, he'd have her all to himself.

"As queen of the Garden, the tea shall commence!!" 

Hyuna announced, just as everyone had gathered on the ground, grabbing the pretend tea up she held up in the air with a pretend spoon. The rest of the children had followed suit and began drinking their cups of pretend tea, some started their chatter, and a particular blonde had started talking to the king, all while Vanta kept Miko only to himself, the rest of the children would have to wait their turn if they wanted to speak to her. 

"Dear Miko, are you enjoying the party?" 

"Yes." 

"That's wonderful! Would you like a biscuit, or perhaps more tea?" 

"Tea."

"Wonderful! I shall serve it to you, your highness!" 

Vanta reached for the pretend teapot, which sat close to Luka, tapping his shoulder to call his attention. It's not like he wanted it, he only needed tea for his princess.

"Hey, hey, Luka! Can you pass me the teapot?" 

"Sure." 

The boy handed the pretend pot, which arrived in the hands of Vanta, who only dropped it, a handful of pretend shards of glass breaking on impact as it reached the ground. Hyuna was talking to Miko, his precious, admirable, wonderful, kind, pretty, Miko? Why would she even dare? He didn't care if she was the sister of the King, Miko was off limits, not in the hands of others to possess, only him! Only he could talk to her, to play with her hair, to be the only one to inhale her scent every time they conversed!

"M-Miko... would you like tea?" 

He restrained himself, he had to impress Miko with his chivalry, or else she wouldn't like him.

"Oh but... the teapot is broken..." 

He looked onto the floor, and where his hands were holding the pretend pot, he saw the pretend tea and pretend glass all scattered, as he was now unable to serve her the tea she wanted.

"Sorry..." 

"The party is ruined!!"

Hyuna and the others looked at the ground, expressions horrified by the pretend tea on the floor. It meant no one were to be served tea again, having it be spoiled by Vanta. 

"We cannot continue the party, there is no more tea to serve!! Everyone is dismissed, you can all go now!"

That concluded their little roleplay, which only ended on the bad side of the spectrum of what Vanta had expected, to be able to save Miko from an alien, or have pretend dinner with her. 

He'd have to be careful of Hyuna, he didn't like their relationship, not at all. He didn't want her around Miko for god's sake, she should have been around Luka and Hyun Woo! 

Back off Hyuna, I'm warning you. 

Maybe he was a bit jealous, just a bit, but he couldn't show her A Pint of Jealousy.
