T.O.P's P.O.V.

I watched dreamily as she spaced out. How can anyone still look so cute when she is spacing out? I looked her from head to toe.

She's still the same. I chuckled when I spotted her rainbow socks. Ever since young, Minzy has been fond of colorful things, which probably explains her fashion sense. She is really innocent and pure. Just putting on whatever she likes will make her happy.

I decided to approach her, but of course I am not going to identify myself as her Prince from the past. I wonder if she will recognize me? I looked at my photograph when I was five. I was very plump then, and only lost weight when I was overseas. She's the main reason why I decided to return to Korea.

Flashback

I tiptoed to Minzy, who was reading a book. I wanted to give her a surprise. I snuck right behind her and gently tugged her pigtails.

"Oppa!" Minzy turned, and clutched at her pigtails. Smiling, she gave me a welcome hug, which surprised me. "You're here!" She exclaimed, holding my hand and jumping up and down. "Come oppa, I want to show you my favourite toy!"

End of flashback

I smiled to myself as I thought of the times Minzy and I played together when we were young. Now, we've grown up. She now knows me as T.O.P, but not as the Little Prince Choi Seunghyun whom she used to play with.

While she was reading an article, I tiptoed to her. Perhaps she would remember this and recognize me if I do this? I smirked. She was still oblivious to me sneaking behind her back. Without a warning, I gave her little ponytail on her head a small tug.


Minzy's P.O.V.

"Classics never die out. There are some trends which..." I stifled a yawn as I tried to finish reading the article. I never found fashion interesting.

All of a sudden, I felt a gentle tug on my tiny ponytail. I yelped loudly in shock and immediately turned to see who was the culprit.

I came face to face with a grinning face, just inches away from mine. His mouth seemed to be from one ear to another, and he was giving off this creepy little laugh. I jumped and moved back a little.

He chuckled as he observed my reactions. Hey wait. Why does he look so familiar..? I scrunched up my eyebrows as I tried to recall.

"Minzy-sshi! Don't you remember me? I'm T.O.P. We met at the party, remember?" He winked, catching me totally off-guard. Oh right! That was it. He was that guy whom I embarrassed myself in front of!

Blushing, I smiled shyly. "Annyeong T.O.P-sshi. What are you doing here?" I laughed awkwardly, trying to get rid of the weird mood. "Oh nothing," T.O.P wrinkled his nose and then leaned closer to me. "I just wanted to see you."

My heart skipped a beat when he looked into my eyes. Did he just say he wanted to see me? Breaking eye contact and looking anywhere but him, I was at a loss of words. "Uhm..."

He smirked when he saw me looking confused and blushing badly. "Are you okay? Your cheeks are like really red," he teased, trying to put his hand on my forehead. I dodged instinctively, trying to force a smile.

Yes, it's true that I find him cute, and he was really nice that day. But right now his actions are starting to creep me out a little. We don't know each other that well, why is he acting this way?

I decided to just smile and nod at him, refusing to look at him in his eyes. Or maybe I was just afraid I would get charmed by him or something.

Seeing that I didn't want to talk, he laughed before getting up. "You're cute when you blush, Minzy. You're really cute." With that, he gave my ponytail a small tug once again, but this time, he pulled off my hair tie.

I frowned in confusion. What does this guy want? He's freaky. Getting scared, I started packing my stuff quickly. Why do I meet so many weird guys today?

All I wanted was just to get away from this guy as soon as possible.


T.O.P's P.O.V.

"I got to go, see you sometime later. Bye," she mumbled, before bowing at me and scampering off. I chuckled as I watch her disappear into the distance. She didn't recognize me by that action though I used to do that to her in the past. Guess I'd have to use other ways to get her to notice me.

I've come back for you. I left you 14 years ago, but that was because I never had the chance to stay. Now that we're grown up, I've come back for you. I will never leave you and I will promise to protect you forever and ever... My Princess.

Some things never change.
