Genre: Romance, Fluff, Smut, Drama, Angst, Fantasy

Summary: After getting into a steady relationship and discovering their mutual feelings for each other, fate says the other way and there are people who are trying to untangle their bond. How do they are going to overcome all the problems now?
They have arrived at the other country after hours of flight. Kibum drags his feet while walking, getting up the car and already getting down again. They are staying in the palace of King Soob, along with other delegations.
Kibum has tried to call Jonghyun but it looks like his spouse is still kind of busy and he opts to just sends him a message to inform him of his arrival.
After dropping their things down and settle in their respective room, Kibum finds Jinki hyung knocking onto his door with a smile.
“Kibum, do you want to come with me to go walking around?”
Well, duh. Kibum glances at his phone and finds no text message yet and he shrugs it.
“Sure.”
He looks so sad and dejected along the walk. Jinki hyung tries to strike a few conversations with him and Kibum tires his best to answer him.
They walk along the wide garden around the palace, with the country’s guide telling them the way and all.
“The palace is so beautiful.” Jinki hyung says with a nod. Kibum hums and looks around the place, might as well enjoy himself while he is here.
“Oh come on, Kibum,” the young Minister calls, “stop having that face.”
Kibum glances at him and breaks into a small smile. “Why? Is it contagious?” He strikes a joke. Jinki hyung laughs and nods. “Yes. I feel gloomy as well now.”
“Sorry about that. I will try to put the sad face away.” He says softly and earns a nod from the older male.
“Have fun, Kibum! We are having a holiday right now!” Jinki hyung says teasingly.
Kibum snorts. This is hardly a holiday.
They walk to other places with the help of the guide and Kibum begins to forget all the heavy thoughts for temporary. He breaks into smiles when Jinki hyung strikes some jokes and silly words, or when the guide takes them to the place they don’t have in their own place back in Korea.
It’s getting late and they are walking to go back to their own respective room to get ready for the birthday party being held by the King.
“See?” Jinki hyung starts despite the comfortable silence between them. Kibum glances at him questioningly.
“Yes, hyung?”
“You look more handsome when you smile.”
Kibum feels his cheeks warm and he chuckles to hide his embarrassment. He unconsciously palms his cheeks and lets out a soft laugh.
“Thank you, Jinki hyung.” He sends him a sincere smile.
Jinki gulps and feels his heart skips a beat or two.
They step into the hall and Kibum gaps around the place. There are so many people and delegations from countries he barely knows and Jinki hyung is already greeting a few people he recognizes.
There are practically gold everywhere and Kibum gulps his saliva down his dry throat; this is really not his standard of a birthday party. The last time he went on a birthday party of his friend was when they sang songs in the living room and had a rap battle, and then got drunken with bottles of sojus.
And it’s certainly not like this.
“Kibum, look at that man. That is the King. And the girl with that glamorous pink dress is his daughter.”
Ah yes, he looks so like a king. With the crown on top of his head and the glimmering gold hanging all over his body, it’s hard to not notice him.
“Should we greet him and act nice?” Jinki hyung pulls him over to the King seated by the throne.
“Lovely night, King Soob.” The Minister starts with the perfect English and Kibum follows him to bow politely.
“We are from Korea. I am Minister Lee Jinki and this is the Crown Prince’s spouse, Kim Kibum.”
“Welcome to my country! How do you like it here?” The King speaks with laughter. Jinki smiles and nods politely.
“The country is so beautiful. We really can’t stop admiring it. You really are such a great King, Your Highness.”
Kibum winces inwardly at the way Jinki hyung speaks. Well, sometimes an excessive compliment is needed.
“And also, we are congratulating you for your birthday, Your Highness. We hope you are healthy and happy.”
They scoot away after exchanging a few more talks with the King and Jinki hyung sends him an amused smile. “How do you think of doing official things like this?”
“I feel like puking,” he whispers and it earns a soft laugh from the other.
“Do you want to eat something? Or maybe drink?” Jinki hyung asks gently, smiling to him. Kibum grins back, “Sure. I could use some light alcohol.” He jokes.
The young minister laughs softly and tells him to wait, while he goes towards the drinks table and grabs two glasses of champagne for the both of them. Kibum smiles thankfully at him when he hands him his glass, completely missing the twinkling glance from the older male.
They hang around for a while, blending into the crowd and greeting a few more people, when Jinki taps his arm.
“Kibum, can you stay here for a while? I’m going to greet those people there,” he points to the crowd across the ballroom. “Stay here and don’t go anywhere. Okay?”
“Alright, hyung. Don’t take too long,” he jokes.
Jinki smiles at him and walks away, and Kibum watches him interacts with the other important people. It will be so long until he could blend naturally like that.
He puts down his glass on the table and scoots closer to the window, staring out at the night view of the country. Wow, it’s really beautiful. They don’t have this kind of scenery back at home. Maybe it would be a good change if they could do their garden like this. Speaking of home, how is Jonghyun? Has he replied on—
“Excuse me.”
Kibum spins on his heels and gasps. “Taemin!”
“I know it’s you!” The other exclaims with a wide smile. “I see you from behind and I feel like I know someone similar. What are you doing here?”
“You know, this is my first official assignment,” Kibum shrugs, “What about you? Fancy seeing you here.” He laughs. Taemin grins.
“My dad is currently busy so I have to come on his place. This party is a bit weird for me.”
“Tell me about it.” Kibum laughs softly.
“Are you coming here by yourself?”
“I’m coming with Jinki hyung, I mean, Minister Lee.”
“Wow~” Taemin whistles, “Coming with the official. Aren’t you just so important already for the country?” He jokes, earning a soft punch on his arm from Kibum.
“Shut up. I’m so glad to meet you here, though. I don’t know anyone here and it’s so awkward to be sipping on my champagne and to just stand along here.”
“I know, right? Hey, let’s grab some snack. I heard people talking about those shrimps with salsa and lemon sauce.”
Kibum laughs as he lets Taemin drags him towards the buffet table.
When the party is over, Kibum walks back to the room he is staying with Jinki hyung telling him about the important people they have met from before. It’s quite interesting that Kibum could see those important people and those officials from other countries, but he should behave in front of them.
On the second day there, Kibum has to go with Jinki hyung to the important gathering; consisting of the officials of countries to discuss things about defense and communication between international countries. Kibum fights the sleepiness and pinches his own thigh to keep himself awake. As much as he should learn about this, he is not interested with it.
The gathering takes a few more hours before they all say goodbyes and exchange polite gestures. Kibum stands up and arches his back, hearing it cracks as he sighs.
“Hyung, this is so boring.”
“I know,” Jinki hyung says amusedly, patting him on his head. “Let’s go back and rest.”
“When will we get back home, hyung?” Kibum whines, lightly stomping his foot down. Jinki smiles at his cute act and laughs.
“Our flight will be in the evening tomorrow. Make sure to get some rest and we can also have a bit more fun at the morning as well.” He says, teasingly ruffling his hair as a gentle gesture. Kibum juts out his lips in fake annoyance, grabbing Jinki’s hand and holds it tightly to prevent him from touching his hair again.
“Alright,” Kibum makes a salute gesture. “And stop ruining my hair, hyung.” He whines.
Jinki hyung laughs, as a way of covering his nervousness as he glances at the way Kibum is still holding onto his hand.
After playing games in his phone, Kibum glances at the evening sky through the window. His phone beeps and he smiles when he gets a LINE message from Taemin.
Hey!
Should we get out and have some fun tonight?
Kibum hums in interest and types back.
Sure.
But, wait –
Should I bring my men?
Taemin sends him a sticker with thunder and shocked face.
Duh, of course not!
Just sneak out, I will be waiting outside of the building!
Kibum rolls on his back before jumping out of the bed with a groan.
Alright. What time should we meet?
He walks towards the cupboard to grab some outfit when Taemin replies him with:
At ten would be nice.
We can wait until people fall asleep!
Woo! This is going to be fun!
Kibum sticks his head out of the door, glancing to left and right. When he sees no guards are around and no one he knows lurking around the hallway, he skips down the stairs and tries to find Taemin.
“Kibum!”
He hears the loud whisper from somewhere and as he spins on his heels, Kibum muffles a laugh.
“What are you doing there?” He whispers back as he walks closer to Taemin who is half hiding behind the bush.
“Just in case. Come on!”
He grabs Kibum by the arm and drags him out of the palace.
Taemin brings him to the local festival near the palace. Kibum laughs at the local shows from the people and they also stop by the night market for snacks and other things.
“This is fun, don’t you think so?” Taemin asks, practically screaming into his ear as they are watching the late fireworks show.
“Of course! This is such a great idea!” Kibum screams back at him, patting the other on his shoulder.
Taemin grins widely at him.
The night is late and soon it’s time for them to go back.
“Hey,” Kibum calls while lightly bumping his shoulder against Taemin’s. The other smiles questioningly at him.
“Thanks for this. I love it.”
Taemin makes a face at that and loops their elbows together.
“Don’t mention it! I’m happy that I meet you here! You don’t know how bored I am to be in the party, old men everywhere,” he winces.
Kibum laughs.
“Sure, sure.”
They walk back in the late night, exchanging teasing words and laughter.
Unknowingly to them, paparazzi have caught the photo.
Jonghyun stares blankly at the morning newspaper in front of him. There is someone he really knows on the front page of the newspaper yet he couldn’t think anything.
“How dare he?” The Queen Dowager shrieks while slamming down the various newspapers on the coffee table, eyes looking dangerous. It’s far from her plan and she honestly has not expected this but this boy’s act simply brings her plan towards the end much, much easier.
But, still, he makes a chaos everywhere.
“He is going there as the official but now he just has to make a scandal and ruin the country’s name?!”
Every newspaper and website on the internet is showing picture of Kibum and the son of the Lee Media Corporation hugging and it’s bringing the whole new news all around the country. People are talking about it nonstop.
The palace offices are also bombarded with phonecalls from important people.
Jonghyun glances at his phone and he has the urge to grab it and call his lover.
So-eun walks closer to him and sits beside him, rubbing her hand up and down on Jonghyun’s arm to calm him down.
“I don’t want to believe this… but he seems to be having so much fun there.” She says, eyes staring straight to Jonghyun’s still surprised face.
She hides back a smile as she glances at the photo at the front page of the newspaper.
Checkmate.
