“even if you weren’t a lady,” he began, following his friend’s gaze, his own smile faltering at the sight of another charming his beloved – he took another sip of his drink just to keep the edges of his lips curled up into an expression that resembled friendliness and not hostility. certainly, however, it was difficult to hide such an expression from his eyes, and woon was glad that it was nighttime, and the sun could not shed light to show the shadows of the crown prince’s constitution.
“i am obligated,” he continued, clearing his throat and pointedly looking away, “to flatter you. you are my friend, after all.”
he paused, for a moment, and added, “and as my friend, i trust you can tell me who that man is? out of curiosity, of course, and not interest – you know how these things go.” jealousy tended to breed from him one lie after another. he hated its bitterness. “will you tell me if the lady he’s communing with holds any special sort of…liking to him?”
“oh, listen to you how smooth.” yul smiles at the comment, he was indeed happy to have been able to to be on the crown prince’s good side-- he had seen many times, what happens when you are on his bad side and especially so if you attempt to show affection for, a certain someone, “indeed i am your friend, and i would say i am obligated to give you all the information i have as well, don’t you think so?”
it was while he had still been with his father he had noticed her, song suji-- the girl who had woon’s affection, affection that he was sure many other women desired and affection that might be better with someone who held more desire for the throne it self but yul wasn’t one to dictate who his friend had affections for.
“well i have noticed, her gaze had been rather distracted--” he nodded his head, “i think he is the son of one of the ministers-- minister jeon i believe, she is rather friendly with most of them.” quietly he took sip of his drink, “but no, i believe her affections lie with someone completely different than the man she is talking to.”
