And not just normal candy, giant ones. Enormous, life-size gummy bears, a chocolate fountain the size of actual ones, lollipops as the size of trees, everything in the room was edible.Then, you realized that Kiseop's arms were wrapped around your waist, and your faces almost touching. "Umm.. Kiseop," you looked at him. "Yeah?" he breathed. You looked behind him and gasped. "Duck!" Kiseop pushed the both of you down a second before Kevin swung his arm to hit his brother. "You're dead!" He grabbed Kiseop's collar, pulling him up and punching his face. "Kevin!" you screamed. Kiseop grabbed Kevin's arm and twisted it, making him yell out a cry of pain. Kevin kicked his brother hard in the chest, sending him falling to the ground. You tried to go over to them and separate them but Alexander, not wanting you to get hurt, quickly pulled you back."Stop fighting!" Kiseop jumped up from the ground and strangled his brother's neck until Kevin couldn't breathe.You couldn't stand it anymore, you started crying. Kiseop was the first one to see your tears, and he released Kevin, who fell on the floor choking. Kiseop stood still, staring at you with fright. Kevin got up and turned from his brother to look at you. His expression turned from anger into one of worry. *Did seeing us fight really make her so upset?* He felt guilty and childish for having fought with Kiseop in front of you.Both of them stood there looking at you, but not brave enough to comfort you. *Cowards,* Dong Ho shook his head and ran over to a gummy bear, biting off a part of its ear.Alexander gave Kevin and Kiseop a look. They understood, and sulkily went to separate corners of the room to calm down. He pulled you in his arms. "Why are they always like this?" you sniffed, wiping away your tears.He soothingly stroked your head. "It's how they talk to one another, how they solve things. Most of us are like that, especially Kevin and Eli." Eli looked away from the others, picking up a chocolate lollipop suspended in the air and started licking it."Why doesn't anyone ever stop them?" You couldn't stand watching to two of them fight with one another."Fairies are very hard to control when angry, the best thing to do is wait for them to calm down. Princes, are the worst. It's a normal thing for my brothers. They can fight for just about any reason.""I see," you said quietly. Your tears slowly stopped, but you didn't say much. Alexander smiled and said cheerfully. "Come on, don't be sad. I didn't give you this present for you to spend the day moping. Go and and those sugary sweets to your heart's content."You gave him a small smile and headed over to Dong Ho and Kibum, who were playing, well, practically rolling in sweets"____! Look at this!" Kibum put his hands behind his back, and when he pulled them back, he was holding a life sized chocolate bunny. And what was even more fascinating, it was alive."Wow!" Your eyes lit up in amazement as the bunny hopped around you. You managed to catch it. It felt like normal chocolate, except for it was moving. Dong Ho grabbed the bunny from you and bit a part of its ear off. "Dong Ho!" you said, shocked. "What?" Dong Ho shrugged, chewing on the chocolate. "It's good!"The miniature bunny started crying, chocolate tears falling from its eyes. "Oh..." You felt really sad for it, even though it was just chocolate. Kibum saw that you were upset, and glared at Dong Ho. "Why are you looking at me like that? It's edible!" Dong Ho retorted."Close your eyes," Kibum told you. You did so, and when he told you to open them again, the bunny was gone. "Did Dong Ho eat it up?" you frowned at Dong Ho, who shook his head frantically.Kibum pulled his hands from behind his back again. This time, he was holding a real life bunny. It looked absolutely adorable. "Here." He handed it to you. You looked at him with wide eyes. "Really?" you said excitedly. He nodded."I don't think anyone will mind if you have this, as long as you keep it in the garden," he said, handing it to you."Is this..?""Yeah, the one that Dong Ho ate," he looked at his brother, who was busy eating more sweets."It was very yummy," Dong Ho commented. The bunny shrank in your palms at his words. You poked Dong Ho lightly. "Don't scare it!"He smiled at you. "Okay, okay," and continued eating. You rolled your eyes and giggled as you watched him continuously stuff food in his mouth."Thanks, Kibum," you said gratefully.Kibum nodded. "No problem."Meanwhile, Kevin and Kiseop were sitting in opposite ends of the room. Kevin pulled a sugar biscuit from the wall and started chewing it. Kiseop was reading another book that he made appear out of thin air. Kevin sneaked a peek at the cover. *Wuthering Heights,* it said. Yet another human book. From what he knew, it was a gothic tale about love, pain, sorrow.He watched his brother closely. Why was he so interested in you? *Why the hell did Kiseop have to do that?* he thought frustratedly. *He knows how I feel about ____. Could he possibly like her?*He sat up straight, a sudden thought rushed through his mind.*Does she like him?*
