Chapter 2



If Kibum thought about anything bad, then this was it. Never in his life had he ever thought about sneaking out from the palace (even though he was practically being forced by the Prince, but still). What if they got caught? What if the King punished the Prince because of this? What if... What if he got killed by not stopping the Prince from sneaking out?

“Kibum!”

He shook his thought away when Jonghyun gently shook his arm. “Yes, My Prince?”

“Let’s go,” whispered the Prince with a grin. Kibum gulped down the saliva in his throat and hesitantly nodded his head. The Prince walked a few steps ahead from him, glancing left and right to find someone and he smiled when the hallway was empty from the guards.

Kibum managed to hold his yelp when he saw the Prince had walked away a bit faster than himself and he jumped on each step to run after the Prince.

“P-Prince Jonghyun, p-please wait for me...”

Being put up in the palace as a slave for years, Kibum had a weak body and he hardly could keep up with the muscular Prince’s fast movement. Jonghyun stopped on his tracks and turned around, only to grin sheepishly before locking their hands together. Kibum swore that his face must be so red but he thanked the God that the Prince was not sparing any glance at him.

A harsh wind blew across his face as they crawled out from the short-hidden tunnel that the Prince found a few days ago when he walked around the town together with his guards. Kibum stared in amazement. He never knew that the town was so pretty, so lively, and so on that Kibum couldn’t describe with words.

“Come on,” called the Prince by his ear, a gentle tug on their locked hands managed to pull Kibum out from his thought. He obediently nodded his head, not really knowing where the Prince was pulling him. He ran his eyes to here and there, a smile tugged on his lips.

The Prince stared at his slave with a wide grin, already expecting that Kibum would like this. He tightened their locked hands and stared around, finding the empty street towards the market. Kibum would love to see the market.

“Kibum, look at that.”

His feline eyes widened in pure surprise, not expecting that he would be able to see the town’s market—the famous market which had every single thing that you needed.

“T-This is...”

“This is the market. See? I find a nice food there. Let’s go!”

Jonghyun pulled him by his hand, walking closer to the kind woman who m selling the said food. Kibum stared at his Prince asking for a portion of God knew what that was and smiled when the seller woman smiled at him. Jonghyun paid for the food and gently pulled him to the small wooden bench under the tree, not too far from the market.

“Oh, I’m so hungry!” said the Prince while stuffing the red-sauced food into his mouth. Kibum stared silently in amusement, never thinking that the Prince would act this way. The Prince suddenly put the food in front of his lips, waiting for Kibum to open his mouth.

“P-Prince...?”

“Open up. You have to try this or you would regret it for your entire life,” joked the Prince.

Really? The Prince fed him?

“I-I can’t...”

“Kibum, open up. Just try.”

Kibum shook his head, not feeling it was his place to be fed by the Prince. Jonghyun’s brown eyes went rigid and he spoke with authority in his voice. “I said open up. This is an order.”

Kibum shivered and hesitantly opened his mouth, only to be greeted by a smiling Prince when he chewed on the juicy food. His eyes widened and he stared onto the smirking Prince, before Jonghyun laughed loudly. “How was it? Tasty, right?”

“W-What was that, my Prince? I never tasted something like this before...”

“I don’t know what its name. I just know that it tastes good!”

Kibum smiled while looking at the happy Prince. As long as Jonghyun was happy, then he was happy as well.

They finished the food in a few minutes before Jonghyun stood up, stretching his back. “Let’s continue!”

“A-Again?” asked Kibum in disbelief. “Of course! We are just started!”

Jonghyun walked ahead and Kibum reluctantly followed behind him. They slipped past the crowded market, with their eyes running here and there. Kibum could see people were having their life, selling, buying, chatting, and playing, running. He never felt it and a bitter smile was curved on his lips.

The Prince seemed to stare at his slave’s attention and he knew what his slave was thinking right now. He felt the same. They were raised in the palace. He was having a high class treatment but now for Kibum. He had been living with Kibum since like forever for him. He didn’t really remember the boy’s past, like how he could be his personal slave and private friend, but the only thing he remembered about their first meeting was Kibum’s eyes.

He remembered that when he was still so young, but old enough to understand that he was Prince, it was their first meeting. He remembered staring into a pair of beautiful feline eyes, which were very appealing. Since then, Kibum was by his side. He grew a certain fond towards this boy and he didn’t even know why.

“P-Prince?” whispered Kibum, afraid that there was someone who could hear him. “What is it?” Kibum parted his lips to say something but there was shaking in his voice. “What’s wrong, Kibum? I can’t hear you.”
Kibum mumbled softly, but loud enough for Jonghyun to hear. “I... There is... There is someone... touching me...”

Jonghyun froze and stared around. They were stuck in the crowd and he could see some pervert old men were staring at his slave. He knew that Kibum was very, very beautiful, very appealing but he didn’t know that his beauty could attract people’s attention as well. He growled inwardly when one of the men was grinning slyly and Jonghyun grabbed his slave by his waist, pulling him out from the crowd. Kibum yelped in surprise and he felt the Prince’s tight hold around his waist, not expecting the Prince to act like this.

Jonghyun pulled his away and glared daggers at those men whom backed away immediately. “Are you okay, Kibum?” Kibum smiled weakly at the Prince and thanked him. He tried to push the Prince’s hand away as the danger was gone, but Jonghyun tightened his hold around him.

“P-Prince Jonghyun...”

“Let’s just get back.” Said Jonghyun nonchalantly, ignoring Kibum’s effort to pry his hand away. Kibum sighed softly as his effort seemed useless and let himself being dragged away by the Prince. They pass the same street that they used to come to the market before and Kibum’s eyes caught on something interesting by the end of the street.

“What’s wrong?” asked the Prince when he felt that Kibum’s steps were rather slowing down. “O-Oh, it was nothing, Prince...” Jonghyun seemed to see what the thing that caught his slave’s attention was and he grinned.

“I want to stop there for a while,” announced the Prince and he walked there without forgetting to pull Kibum by his waist with him. Kibum frowned but his eyes were sparkling in excitement when they stopped by the small spot that was selling cheap accessories. Red, yellow, blue, white, black, purple, everything. His eyes were running here and there as he let his hand roamed the pile of accessories on the wooden counter. He didn’t realize that the Prince was staring at his surprised face with a wide grin. Jonghyun loved to see Kibum excited like this.

“Do you like this, sweetie?” asked the kind woman and Kibum lifted his head up when he realized that he was the one who was being asked. He bit down his lower lip and nod, unable to hide his smile. His eyes locked at the bracelet with colorful stones along the chain. Never had he seen something so beautiful like this.

He drew his eyes away from the certain thing, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to afford something like that. He sighed soundlessly and stared at the rings, smiling once again at their beauty. Without he noticed, Jonghyun had been staring at him for a while and an idea came to him. He quickly purchased something quietly and shoved the purchased thing into his pocket.

They walked away from the spot and headed back to the castle through the hidden way. Kibum stared at his feet all along the comfortable silence between them and he smiled a little when the wind blew pass them.

“I want to say thank you, my Prince.” Kibum broke the silence with a soft whisper. Jonghyun tilted his head and took a better look at his slave’s smiling face.

“Thank you? For what?”

“For taking me outside, for bringing me to the market place, for making me alive for the first time in my life...”

Jonghyun stared silently at him while Kibum was talking, before he broke into a wide grin. “Don’t mention it!” He answered with a smile, which made Kibum chuckled softly. They stepped back into castle in silent. Kibum stopped by his room and turned around to face the Prince. He bowed in grateful and smiled to himself. “Thank you for everything, my Prince.”

Jonghyun grinned and quickly told him to raise his head. Kibum whispered another thank you and was about to push the door to his own room when Jonghyun held onto his wrist.

“I’m not done yet.”

Kibum stared at him confusedly and felt the Prince was pulling his palm out, opening it with his own before searching for something in his pocket. Kibum stared between his opened palm and the Prince whom having a difficulty in finding something. Jonghyun’s face then lit up when he found that something before taking it into his fist, not wanting Kibum to see it first. He gently placed his fist on top of Kibum’s opened palm and placed the thing. Kibum could feel something hard was placed on his palm and he stared questioningly at the Prince.

“Open your palm.” Commanded the Prince. Kibum nodded softly before doing so, only to gasp in pure surprise when he found the same colorful-stony bracelet in his hand.

“H-How...? When...?”

“I saw you looking at it before so I thought you might want it...” answered the Prince while scratching his not-so-itchy head. Kibum bit his lower lip in order to keep himself from smiling and he stared silently at the Prince. Jonghyun grinned before pushing his own wrist towards Kibum. The slave frowned in confuse as why the Prince was showing his arm. “Roll up my sleeve.” Said the Prince and Kibum obediently did so. Once he rolled up the fabric from the Prince’s wrist, he found the same bracelet around Jonghyun’s wrist.

Jonghyun grinned happily before taking the remaining bracelet and put it around Kibum’s left wrist, matching on his own on his right wrist.

“From now on, we are going to wear this. Just the two of us.”

Kibum stared in disbelief as he could feel his heart was beating out of control against his rib cage. The Prince was doing this simple thing yet he felt like flying by this simple action.

“Okay?” asked the Prince to ensure the answer from Kibum.

“Yes... Prince Jonghyun.”
