Summary: The feeling was forbidden between a Prince and a slave, yet no one could hold it back any longer.
Kibum cried until he fell asleep; only to wake up with Jonghyun’s face greeting him. He smiled weakly and reached forward, holding the Prince by his nape and pressed his lips on Jonghyun’s plump ones.
“Hey, I just got back,” whispered Jonghyun against his lips. Kibum stared at him questioningly and frowned. “What time is it?”
“It’s almost the dinner time, Kibum. You slept the whole time.”
“I did?” asked Kibum while rising up into sitting position. Jonghyun helped him to do so and held onto him close.
“Yeah. You must be very sleepy. Your eyes are so puffy though,” chuckled Jonghyun against Kibum’s soft hair. Kibum bit down his lip and hummed, his own arms finding their way to hold onto Jonghyun’s waist.
“The lesson was so boring, Kibum, I swear.”
Kibum chuckled at the whiny voice the Prince let out and snuggled closer; humming to let the Prince continued his words. And continue Jonghyun did. He began blabbering about how Teacher Park was complaining about his two weeks absent and then he proceeded on how heavy the new book that Teacher Park gave him earlier.
“—and then I complained back at him, telling him why would he so determined to teach me all these things. And he answered with a glare, which I didn’t really think he could really glare at me, that I should be able to know all about that if I wanted to impress another country so that their Princesses would want me.”
At the mention of that, Kibum’s body went stiff. Not that Jonghyun realized.
“—he was so disturbing that I only drew pictures on the sheets—Kibum? You sleep again?”
Kibum shook his head and cuddled closer to Jonghyun, taking a long sniff of Jonghyun’s manly scent. He didn’t know how but Jonghyun’s scent could always calm him. Jonghyun hummed in knowledge and ran his palm along Kibum’s soft black hair.
The younger boy closed his eyes, feeling the sudden urge to cry again as the conversation with the King flashed into his mind. He was tired to cry, to be honest. He had cried for hours, hoping that Jonghyun wouldn’t be back so soon and wouldn’t question him the reason why he cried. He was grateful that he fell asleep and Jonghyun only thought that he was sleepy with his swollen eyes.
Kibum was not ready to know what the King was planning for Jonghyun. Hell, he would never be ready with it. But he couldn’t do anything. He could not let Jonghyun knew about his earlier conversation with the King. The King had already disappointed to know that they crossed the line of being friends and became more than that. He could not let Jonghyun disappoint the King more.
Jonghyun was the Prince, the King’s son and the country’s hope.
And for Kibum to lose the Prince, it was something that he could not prevent of. Jonghyun was never his from the very beginning.
The gates of the palace were opened and Kibum could hear the noisy cheering for whatever it was. He blinked sleepily and hummed hoarsely, snuggling closer to his human pillow which in this case was the Prince.
Jonghyun groaned at the sudden noise and held Kibum tighter against his body, burying his face in Kibum’s neck. Their morning had been good except for today. And the cause was...?
Kibum was awake by the time he tried to listen to the loud noises outside their room. He rubbed his eyes and pried Jonghyun’s arms from around him, sitting up on the edge of the bed. He ignored Jonghyun’s whining of calling him back to lie down on the bed.
The younger boy walked towards the door while putting every pieces of his hair to the right place. He slowly opened the door, trying to eavesdrop at the seemed-like great news.
“He is back!” Kibum could hear everyone screaming in joy. Who was back?
“The Prince is back!” Who was back again? The Prince? But Jonghyun was sleeping peacefully and he was here, and not—wait.
Kibum grinned as the sudden realization hit him and he ran back to the bed. He jumped on it, shaking Jonghyun’s sleeping figure in excitement.
“Jonghyun! Wake up!”
“...no...”
“Jonghyun, hurry! You have to hear me!”
“Kibum, shut up...”
“For God’s sake, Jonghyun, wake up! Stop sleeping like a rock! You have to hear me out!” exclaimed Kibum with a wide smile on his face as he continued on shaking Jonghyun. The Prince grunted and lazily opened an eye.
“...what is it?”
“He is back, Jonghyun! He is back!”
“...who?” murmured Jonghyun while hugging the blanket close to his face. Kibum grinned at the adorable act but decided to ignore it now. He had great news to say!
“Prince! The Crown Prince is back!”
“...since when did we have a Crown Prince...”
Jonghyun remained silent while Kibum continued on shaking his body. Then he stopped when Jonghyun’s hand enclosed over his wrist. Jonghyun removed the blanket hastily and sat up so fast that Kibum fell back on his butt on the bed.
“W-Who?! Who is back?!”
Kibum bit his lip from smiling too wide and noddes his head excitedly. “The Crown Prince, Jonghyun! Crown Prince Jongwoon is back!”
And the happy expression on Jonghyun’s face was so priceless.
The palace had never been this cheerful. But then everyone was celebrating the comeback of the Crown Prince.
Kibum stared as Jonghyun hastily threw any clothes and quickly skipped towards the door. The younger boy laughed at Jonghyun’s fail attempt on knotting his robe and took the assignment for him to do.
“Calm down, Jonghyun! He is not going anywhere!”
“I want to meet him, Kibum!” said Jonghyun with a very wide smile. Kibum giggled at the sight and hummed. “Now, let’s go!”
And Jonghyun was too excited to realize that he was leaving Kibum behind by running so fast. Kibum laughed at the over-excited puppy-like Prince.
The throne room was so crowded. Every royal family member who was at the palace at the moment came to see the long lost Prince. Their voices were so loud, overjoyed to welcome the Prince back, but then they stopped in sync when the door to the throne room was thrown open.
Every pair of eyes was staring at the sight of the panting young man by the door. Then in a blink of an eye, the panting man was already stumbling forward to hug the newcomer in a tight bear hug.
“Hyungnim!!!”
And the loud laughter was echoing all over the room, making everyone smiled at the voice. Kibum trailed and stood on the door, staring at how Jonghyun was laughing happily while hugging his brother.
Once he was pulling back from the hug, he ran his eyes up and down at the older man. “You changed, hyungnim!”
“You are the one who changed the most, Jonghyun-ah! You are a man now! Not that little boy who used to hug my legs everytime!”
“Hyungnim! You just came back and you already insult me to the core? How nice of you!” said Jonghyun sarcastically with the wide smile remained on his face.
The Crown Prince—Jongwoon—grinned before laughing loudly and Jonghyun joined the laughing round. Jonghyun excitedly gripped onto his brother’s arm, shaking it like a child while asking so many questions. The King laughed, sitting at the throne and Kibum unconsciously took a step back. He was not ready yet to meet the King this fast.
Prince Jongwoon then walked towards where he put down his big brown pouch and pulled some new things that he got from travelling around. He showed to every single person in the room and they all awed in unison. Jonghyun grinned, asking another question and it made the Crown Prince laughed.
Then when Jonghyun felt he was so tired from being an over-excited kid, he sighed and stared at the colorful things inside his brother’s pouch. The Crown Prince talked and everyone listened to him.
“I have been travelling all around the world. It took my time, and also I was so far away from my father and my dear brother here,” said he while ruffling Jonghyun’s hair, “but now I am back and I am going to tell you that I am going to stay here. I am ready to be the next King, like what you have told me a few years ago before I left, Father.”
The King smiled and laughed proudly. Then he continued, “I learned a lot of things when I was travelling. I learned about the people, not only our people but also from other countries’ people. They were very different from our people and thanks to that, I now know how to treat them properly and lead this country.”
The royal family was staring at him with admiration as he said his speech, not to mention Jonghyun and the King. Jonghyun had these shining eyes while he stared at his older brother, and Kibum simply smiled at the cute sight.
They clapped their hands, nodding their head in agreement and the King could never be more proud than this. The Crown Prince was smiling, mumbling the continuous ‘thank you’ to everyone surrounding him, until he stopped when he caught the sight on the door. A warm smile curved on his lips.
“Hey, what are you doing out there?” asked he and Kibum turned around to see whether someone else was coming. But then he saw no one. Then...?
“M-Me?” murmured Kibum and the Crown Prince nodded his head with a smile. Kibum bit his lip and looked around hesitantly. Prince Jongwoon chuckled and spread his arms open.
“Come here.”
Kibum smiled and slowly took steps forward, enveloped by the Crown Prince’s arms around him. “Welcome back home, Prince Jongwoon. We all miss you so much.”
The oldest Prince laughed and hummed. “I know. I missed you all too.”
When Kibum took a step back from the friendly hug, he caught the sight of the King staring at him with unreadable eyes. Kibum bit down his lip and stepped back, wanting to get away from the stare.
But then when he felt Jonghyun grabbed him by his shoulder and squeezed him in a conforting manner, his nervousness lessened a bit. He sent a quick smile to Jonghyun and the young Prince simply grinned back. They heard the Crown Prince talked a few more, erupting rounds of laughter from the royal family. The King stayed silent though and it built fear in Kibum.
The sounds of laughter died when the King cleared his throat, showing everyone that he was going to talk. Kibum gripped onto the hem of his robe and stared. This was happening.
“Since Prince Jongwoon is here with us, I’m going to announce this great news.”
Kibum felt his blood stopped rushing and bit down his lip, body went cold.
“What is it, Father?” asked the Princes.
The King smiled, opening his mouth to continue his sentence while keeping his eyes locked on Kibum, as if saying ‘I warned you’.
“I’m going to tell you that I arrange a marriage for Prince Jonghyun with Princess Yoo from north kingdom next month.”
And that was when Kibum’s heart practically stopped beating.
A/N: Hell break loose yeah. I'm crazy hahaha
But, anyway! We have our dearest Crown Prince Jongwoon here! Anybody knows him?
Four more chapters left! Oh, what will happen to Kibum? What will Jonghyun do now? :O
