"Nanny Poon! I need my crested owl brooch, the one with the pink diamond, Big Brother gave that to me last time we visited him in Country E! I need to wear it tonight at his welcome party!"
Snow is frantically looking for the brooch and did not see the slinking shadow at her back, "Booooo!" "Ohmoooo! ¹Nanjaengi you stupid brat! I told you not to do that!" Snow almost had a heart attack with Jinha's surprise attack though she was not really mad. This is their customary prank for each other, competing on who would make one jump in fright the most. "Nanjaengi your face! I've been taller than you since we got eleven! I'm not the nanjaengi now, nanjaengi!",Jinha retorted laughing while blocking Snow's pillow attack. Seeing Snow like this you'd never guess that the cold and soulless little girl before was one and the same. Jinha's friendship and down- to - earthness (a pretty word but it actually translates to peasant behaviour according to our Princess) made her like this, warm, vibrant, and full of life. Her near breakdown to depression in her early childhood was like a forgotten nightmare now. All thanks to her impish Dwarf, Jinha, Na Jinha. Pretty close to nanjaengi don't you think?
The girl who just almost gave Snow a heart attack was rolling with laughter on her bed. Now, wearing baggy jumpers and a plain shirt inside with her mop of hair cut short, she looked like an extremely delicate looking handsome young boy! Boy, mind you, not girl.
"You're really taking out the big guns huh! I guess you have to be super prepared, you'll be surrounded by our country's cream of the crop so you have to be as primped up as a peacock and strut your stuff huh?! Wait, wait, I just had an idea, what if your parents decide to matchmake you again in this party?!" Jinha said this in one breath without a pause while guffawing at her almost crosseyed with anxiety friend. "Girl pleaaaassseee!!! Don't remind me of that fiasco of a blinddate again! Anyway, what are you laughing about, I can always haul you out of your cave to let them see how handsome my "boyfriend" is!" And with that Snow had the last laugh! "Mwuahahahaha...."
6 PM...
After feeding Jinha the delicacies that will be served at Young Lord Sung Joon's welcome party Snow asked Jinha to stay and check out the party. At the kitchen among the staff, "Why can't you stay? I want you to check out my Big Bro! You only saw him in pictures, I want you to see my Big Bro." To Snow's mind, she wants Jinha to see that she also have a handsome Big Bro, all through the years that they've been friends she always envied Jinha her brothers.
"All right, all right I'll stay but only til 8 PM or else Dad will kill me, you know how he is!" Snow was satisfied with her answer and nodded delightedly. The Lee Mansion's staff looked at them with amused affection, they are used to these pair's arguments and troublemaking, the Young Lady and little bro, as they call Jinha due to her small size when she was younger, is like cat and dog sometimes but they know how strong their bond of friendship is.
