I Do Not Own SOEUL
Chapter One: Princess
Five Months Ago
His father has been admitted to the hospital for having a severe heart failure. The doctors told him and his family that there wouldn't be much time until his heart would fully give up the fight.
He's a faithful husband. And a loving father. That's why it was so hard to accept his timed death. So Yi Jeong loves his father dearly even though he doesn't show it through his actions. He has the highest regard for his Old man, and the top most admiration for him.
When he opened the hospital door, his father wasn't smiling like the usual. It was evident on his face that he's having a hard time.
"You… came…" his father tried to smile amidst the difficulty of talking. He was absolutely delighted to see his favorite son.
"Hyung said that you need to tell me something" Yi Jeong sat down beside his father's bed.
"Yes. I want you to… make a promise to… me" his father coughed right before finishing his sentence.
"A promise? What for?"
His father tried to smile again, "I told the same thing to your brother. You could say that even after my death I want everything to go according to plan" he managed to finish without a single hindrance.
The sudden mentioning of death got Yi Jeong nervous. "Don't say that. The doctors are just deceiving you" he nervously said.
His father sat down on the bed and looked outside the window, "I'm not stupid. I'll be deceiving myself if I say that I am getting better"
"If that's what you want to talk about, then I'll be leaving first" he stood up then his father held his arm.
"Stay. This matter is urgent" he recognized his son's uninterested look.
"I'm dying out of anticipation" Yi Jeong sarcastically said.
His father gave him a serious look, "I have done something you wouldn't like…" he sighed. But continued after hesitating, "A long time ago, I had my dearest friend and we wanted to be family related so much up to the point where we planned to marry our children off with each others'"
Yi Jeong listened very attentively; his father's confession got his full attention.
"Your older brother was supposed to marry my friend's daughter" his father admitted.
"But why didn't the wedding took place?" he asked.
"My friend had three children; two girls and a boy. The eldest girl died"
Before letting his father carry on with his story, Yi Jeong made a side comment first. "Sorry but I failed to see the connection of your story to me"
He took an apple from the table and bit it.
His father gave him an impatient look, "Just let me finish first… His eldest daughter was meant to be with my eldest son… and his youngest daughter with my…" Yi Jeong cut him off.
"You almost got me there" he laughed. "Nice joke!" and laughed much louder. But his laughter didn't last for long when he saw his father's annoyed face.
"Ho-Hold on…So you're not joking?" his father replied with a shook of his head.
"What the hell…" he dropped the apple and didn't bother to pick it up. "Abeoji! You can't do this to me"
"Actually, I can whether you like it or not" his father gave him a mischievous look.
"What makes you so sure that I'll do it?"
His father gave him a menacing glare, "When I'm already dead… I'll visit you every night… sleep next to you… whisper words in your ear and…" he stopped when he saw that his son was already frightened.
Only his family and closest friends know about his phobia when it comes to ghosts. But after that, Yi Jeong just ignored what his father had said and regarded it as a joke.
Two months later, Mr. So, head of the So Corporation, died

Yi Jeong cringed at the thought. He heard a familiar voice amidst the noise of the crowd. He was at a luxurious royal banquet where the Crown Prince would officially introduce his long-awaited sister.
"Yah, Yi Jeong!" the Crown Prince's voice alerted the crowd and they all bowed down. "Glad you came" he said as he came closer to him.
Prince Woo Bin was one of his closest friends, along with another two young men that he still hasn't seen at the party.
"I heard it wasn't advisable to make the future king crossed, rumor has it that it's very disagreeable" he teased.
"Aish.. Why does everyone have a bad impression of me now a days?" Woo Bin asked before drinking his wine.
"Have you seen the other two?" Yi Jeong finally inquired for his missing friends. "I have been trying to ignore everyone in this god forsaken party of yours"
"There they are!"
Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo entered the scene together.
"Have you heard the news? Yi Jeong's car got destroyed and his phone was stolen by a female" Ji Hoo said.
All were shocked; "Really?" all of them said in unison.
"If that ever happened to me, as long as the girl is pretty… I won't mind" Jun Pyo said with so much passion.
Woo Bin kept looking at his watch, "I got to go… I need to start the introductions"
Woo Bin is the most responsible out of the bunch, Yi Jeong is the smartest… and the coldest, Ji Hoo is the most adventurous while Jun Pyo magnets the ladies.
"The most awaited moment of the night; the first public appearance of Korea's mysterious Princess. My sister lived in Europe for the past 14 years before returning here. She's sweet and lovable; I know everyone would love her. Our family was really happy to once more feel her presence inside the palace, like all the pressures of ruling wasn't there. I, along with my family; we are honored to introduce our one and only Princess, my lovely sister…"
The prince looked up while the others followed. The spotlight vanished from him and was focused at the lady who was wearing a pearl ornamented ball gown on top of the stairs. The Prince looked at her with pride, "Princess Ga eul"
Yi Jeong has the strangest feeling.
