Summary:Â honestly itâs just a lot of Tensionâą and exposition. there isnât much showing is mostly telling.
âJieun,â You cry out. Sheâs nowhere to be seen, but you can hear her whimpering somewhere in the distance.
âJieun,â You try again. âPlease. Iâm scared.â
Itâs dark out, the only light radiating dimly from the torches posted on the castle walls. You donât know how you made it this far beyond the gates without someone finding you and dragging you back, and nightfall had caught you off guard.
You hear a snarl and Jieunâs whimpers get louder. You whip your head around, catching a flash of white in the corner of your eye. The stench of decaying flesh and rotting blood beings to surround you, so you run. Somewhere along the way, you catch Jieunâs wrist in your hand, dragging her behind you. Jieun is usually the one doing the saving, but this time is different.
Your heart is racing and adrenaline is pumping through your veins by the time you reach the castle walls. Thereâs a small door to the side of the gate, barely big enough for a small child. Luckily, you and Jieun are both young children and smaller than average. You throw the door open and push Jieun into the darkness. It swings closed behind you and you latch it quickly, hearing scratches and hissing not even a second later.
âVampires,â Jieun stutters. You nod your head.
The adrenaline leaves your body in the form of fat tears, and Jieun pulls you into her arms to comfort you.
âThank you for saving me.â

Itâs impossible to tell if itâs the bounce of the carriage over a bump in the crossroads, or the presence looming above you and shaking your shoulder that finally wakes you. Your eyes snap open as you sit up properly, as opposed to leaning on the wall of the car. You can feel a wetness on your cheek and you wipe it away, hoping that Wonwoo hadnât already seen it.
âAre you alright?â He asks, pulling back to give you as much space as he can in the small carriage. Your legs are still touching.
You nod. âQuite.â You say. You adjust your skirt in your lap, spreading it a bit more evenly to keep your legs from getting too warm. Itâs nearing the warm season and the sunâs gaze is becoming harder to tolerate, especially from a poorly ventilated wood carriage. âWhere are we?â
Wonwooâs brows furrow together in concern, but he doesnât question you. âLess than an hour to Yingan, last I checked. Did you need to make a stop?â
You shake your head. You would love to stop for even a minute, just to stretch your legs, but the yearn to see Yingan again is stronger. You hope that your old room is still being cared for, and that the summer robes you left behind still fit you. Tears start to well in your eyes as your heart fills with longing. Jieun should be here with you.
âY/N,â Wonwoo starts, sliding his hand across the carriage seat to encapsulate yours. âPlease tell me whatâs wrong.âÂ
âI just miss it.â You explain, the tightness in your chest building as you fight against your instinct to start sobbing. âIâ I donât think I can do this alone. Not without Jieun.â
âYou have me. I wonât leave your side. Jieun is being taken care of by the best healers that Yingan and Hwangyeon have to offer.â He squeezes your hand and you nod. âThank you for accompanying me. I know how painful it was for you to leave her side.â
You shut your eyes, trying to block out the mental images of Jieunâs body laying lifeless in her bed, with barely any colour in her cheeks. Wonwoo keeps a steady rhythm of squeezing your head and running a thumb over the back of your palm.
âYou know,â You start, keeping your eyes closed. âBefore we were sent to Hwangyeon, Jieun and I never saw eye to eye. She was so proper and I was her wily, untamed kid sister. But we always kept each other safe. Iâd give anything to go back to that.â
Wonwoo nods, giving your hand one last squeeze as the carriage comes to a stop. The door opens on Wonwooâs side.
âYour highness, we have arrived.â
-
Seungcheol, the oldest of your three triplet brothers, meets you with teary eyes and open arms. You hoist your skirt up to your knees and run towards him, leaving Wonwoo and the rest of your entourage at the doors.
âGraceful as always.â Seungcheol teases, holding you tight to his chest. He smells like the pine trees that surround the palace, like he always has. Like everything in Yingan does.
You let a watery giggle escape from your lips, letting down the guard that you didnât know youâd been keeping in place since you left. Yingan was your childhood, full of memories and time that you would never get back. You relished in the feeling.
âMy room? My silk robes?â You ask, your heart racing with excitement.
Seungcheol grins. âEverything is as you left it, duckling.â He says.
You dig an elbow into his gut as he lets you go. âI would imagine that all those years in Hwangyeon have transformed me into the beautiful swan.â You tease, and Seungcheolâs eyes twinkle with fondness and something close to sadness, but not quite.
âYouâll always be our little ugly duckling.â You hear from behind you.
You turn to find Jeonghan and Jisoo standing there, staring at you. They pull you into a hug, burying their faces into your hair. Jisoo pulls you towards your old room, leaving Seungcheol alone to greet his foreign guests. You sit in your room for a minute, ignoring Jeonghanâs instructions to change quickly, just letting yourself be alone with your memories.
Your books lay strewn across your desk, untouched. Seungcheol wasnât lying when he said everything was as you left it; some of the books are still laying open to a dogeared page. You strip down to nothing but your dirtied shift, throwing the heavier overdress onto your bed. Thereâs a linen shift hanging off a cast iron hook beside your door that you assume is clean, given the fact that it smells better than the one youâre wearing currently.
On most days, before you left Yingan, youâd have a maid or two to help you dress in the morning. Now, staring at an armoire full of silk and cotton robes, your mind draws a blank. Itâs too hot for an intricate, layered evening dress â similar to the one youâd been wearing before â so you settle for an embroidered silk robe that youâre just barely able to lace up by yourself.
âFuck.â You mutter once you see yourself in a mirror. The light blue silk that had once draped loosely over your body as a young girl now sits as close to your skin as your shift does. It was the cold season when youâd left Yingan, and with your rapidly changing body nothing from the warm season fit properly when it was time to pack up your things.
âY/N?â Wonwoo calls from the other side of the door with a knock. âMay I come in?â
He doesnât wait for a proper answer before he enters, taking your unamused grunt as more than enough permission. There isnât a point in even attempting to hide the poorly fit robe from him.
âI donât know what to wear.â You state, turning away from your mirror and back towards your armoire.
He closes the door behind him and takes a seat on your bed. He doesnât answer, instead taking in your childhood bedroom with wide eyes. Itâs different from your room in Hwangyeon. This room has personality, everything was made custom for you and every corner is full of your belongings.
âThat robe is fine. Itâs just me and your brothers. The advisors wonât even beââ He starts to say, but he chokes on his words when you turn around.
Youâve laced the robe as tight as you possibly can, but the ends donât come together, showing off the shadowing between your breasts and the sheerness of your undergarments. Youâd need a second chemise to preserve your decency, but the heat wonât allow for it.
âThis robe is scandalous. I look like Iâm trying to attract the likes of Mingyu Kim. Iâd rather wear my hunting clothes.â You say.
Wonwoo chuckles at the mention of Mingyu Kim and his loose morals, and the fact that Mingyu is already attracted to you regardless. He takes his own turn rifling through your armoire as you unlace your robe.
âHere,â He offers, pulling a light silk dress out for you.
You hesitate. âWonwoo, this doesnât lace in the front. Youâll have to help me.â
His cheeks turn pink, but he nods anyway. You decide that modesty would be useless at the moment, youâve already been gone for too long. Without waiting for Wonwoo to turn away you shrug the robe off your shoulders. He helps you pull the dress over your head, blushing the entire time.
âA king that helps a lady get dressed is unheard of.â You mutter as he begins to lace up the back of your dress.
He smiles. âWhat kind of a king leaves a damsel in distress?â He says. Being addressed as a damsel in distress would usually offend you, but the way that Wonwoo says it so teasingly leaves your heart fluttering. He continues in complete silence, concentrating on weaving the ties properly.
âThere you are,â He says when heâs finished tying the final knot. He uses his hold on you to turn you towards the mirror.
The dress sits awkwardly over your shift, wrinkling in areas where you should have more undergarments to shape your silhouette, but the allowance for extra undergarments is what leaves it fitting comfortably. His hands drag over your waist, smoothing out the fabric, but they linger.
âIs that alright?â He says, quietly in your ear. You spot the darkening of his eyes in the mirror and your breath catches in your throat.
âYes, thank you.â You say, pulling away from him and hoping that he doesnât notice how breathless you are. He is married, after all.
Summary: I didnât actually intend for this to be fanfic I was just trying to do some prompt writing that focused on sense exposition and it turned into this hot messÂ
The air was filled with the damp smell of dawn. The sun was rising in the horizon and there was a layer of fog lingering so low that it almost touched the ground. It was the middle of October, closer to winter than it was to summer, and the early morning silence was eerie. Your window was covered in a thick film of condensation, built up over a long night of not being able to sleep. It was cracked open, enough that your room wasnât suffocatingly hot but you were still protected from the bite of the early morning atmosphere.
Your mind had been busy all night, plagued by deep brown irises flecked with gold and the smell of something masculine yet subtle. The silence was unwavering.
âCanât sleep?â
You hadnât even heard your door open or shut again. You froze, not wanting to give yourself up.

Your window was covered in a thick film of condensation, built up over a long night of not being able to sleep. It was cracked open, enough that your room wasnât suffocatingly hot but you were still protected from the bite of the early morning atmosphere.
Your mind had been busy all night, plagued by deep brown irises flecked with gold and the smell of something masculine yet subtle. The silence was unwavering.
âCanât sleep?â
You hadnât even heard your door open or shut again. You froze, not wanting to give yourself up.
âDonât just sit there and pretend,â He said. âThese walls are thin. Iâve been listening to you toss and turn all night.â
He took a seat on the corner of your bed and placed a hand delicately at the nape of your neck. âWhatâs going on in that head of yours?â
Hansol had been your roommate for three years, but youâd been friends for longer. Youâd seen him pine after girls, have his heart crushed, and then patched back up again. If someone had told you years ago that youâd fall in love with him, you wouldâve laughed in their face. However, at the stroke of dawn, it was an idea that was so real it haunted you.
âA lot,â You said.
âAnd nothing all at once?â He finished. He pushed at your legs. âScooch.â
You made room for him and he nestled himself up against you, under your blankets. Heâd showered before he went to bed, and the scent of his body wash still lingered. Or maybe it was yours. Youâd shared the same space for so long that it had become hard to tell where he ended and you began.
âHansol,â You started, turning to face him. Looking at him so close up was something that you seldom did, and the vision of his skin glistening in the warm early morning lighting made your breath catch in your throat. âHave you ever wondered what it would be like if weâd never met each other?â
He sighed to himself, but the corners of his mouth twitched with a smile. âI think Iâd just be sad. You make me a better person. And I wouldnât have met Chae.â He says.
You gulped down the lump in your throat. âHowâs Chaeyoung doing? I havenât heard from her in a while.â You say. His smile grows wider.
âSheâs great. I think she misses you.â He said, his voice brimming with affection. You could tell how much she meant to him.
You moved closer, resting your head on his chest. He let you, lacing a hand through your hair and pressing his fingers to your scalp. It had been one of the only ways to get you to fall asleep on sleepless nights for as long as you can remember. And it always had to be Hansol.
âI know you think that she abandoned you for me or the other way around, but I promise she still thinks youâre her knight in shining armour or whatever.â He said.
You snorted. âSheâs my best friend. Sheâs my knight in shining armour, too.â You said. You could feel your bones starting to weigh down into your bed.
Hansol pressed a kiss to the crown of your head as you started to feel yourself drifting into a sleep-like lull. âThank you for letting me be her prince.â He said.
Itâs the last thing you remember when you wake up the next morning to an empty bed and an empty heart.
-
âIâm so glad I caught you.â Chaeyoung says. She settles down onto the couch next to you.
Hansol had texted you while you were out getting coffee, telling you that Chaeyoung came around and you now required a third beverage in your order.
Chaeyoung lifts a cup from the tray and brings it to her lips. As soon as she takes a sip, she wrinkles her nose. âNope. Thatâs definitely yours.â She says, passing it over to you.
You giggle. âIâm sorry that my taste in coffee offends you.â
âI can see why you and Hansol get along.â She says, as if sheâs known him for longer than sheâs known you.
âYes, Chae. Our mutual love for black americanos is whatâs kept us friends since we were kids.â You say.
She doesnât sense the sarcasm in your voice and she giggles instead. She grabs the right cup of coffee this time, a sweetened cappuccino that you would probably be drinking if you werenât so sleep deprived. You sit in silence for a minute before she speaks again, but itâs a comfortable silence that youâve grown used to with her. Sometimes, youâll sit in the same room for hours without speaking, but her company alone has always been comforting.
âYouâre okay, though? Your medsâ Hansol told me you havenât been sleeping well. Is there something on your mind?â She asks, gnawing at her lips.
You sigh. âWhen have I ever slept well? Iâm fine, Chaeyoung.â You say.
She nods and you return to your silence until you hear the creak of the shower turning off. Hansol steps out of the bathroom in his towel, grabs his coffee and presses a kiss to Chaeyoungâs forehead, and then retreats to his own room.
âIâm gonna goâŠâ She trails off. You nod your head in acknowledgement; you know what she means. âText me, yeah? I know I havenât been around much lately, but Iâm always here for you whenever youâre ready to talk.â
You nod again, staring down at the lip of your coffee cup so she doesnât see the way that your eyes glaze over with tears. You can feel it building in your throat, and you try so hard to choke it down even after sheâs gone. But when Hansolâs door clicks shut, your resolve shatters.
-
The transition into winter brings the smell of spices and pine trees. You and Hansol set up your little Christmas tree on a slow weekend, just the two of you and two mugs of hot chocolate. Christmas music is playing in the background constantly, and the glow of the Christmas tree greets you when you walk into your apartment on the darker afternoons.
âYour gift has been ordered.â Hansol mumbles one morning with a piece of toast half hanging out of his mouth. Heâs clearly still half asleep and his hair is a mess.
You giggle. âWere you awake when you ordered it?â You tease. He swallows his toast and grins at you.
âI cannot confirm nor deny.â He says.
You trudge over to him and glue yourself to his back in a lump. He holds a piece of toast over his shoulder for you to take a bite out of and you chomp on it lazily while he massages the arm that youâve slung around his waist.
âChaeyoung and I are going to the Christmas market later. You coming?â He asks. Heâs inhaled his toast in a matter of minutes, and he tries to maneuver his way to the sink with his empty plate while still keeping you blanketed over his body.
You freeze, trying to pull yourself away from him but he keeps his iron grip on your arms. âI have exams to study for.â You say. Itâs a lie, all your exams ended last week and Hansol knows.
He sighs. âWill you please just tell me whatâs going on with you? Iâm getting really tired of guessing and Iâm running out of ideas.â He says.
âHansol, Iââ You start, but he cuts you off. He sounds angry, and you canât really blame him.
âDo you like Chaeyoung? Iâm sorry that I asked her out, but itâs almost been a year and you said you were okay with it when we started dating.â He says.
You feel your face start to get hot. You pull away from him, bringing your arms up against your chest like heâs burnt you. âWhat? Hansol, what are you talking about?â
âYou always freeze up when I talk about her and you never hang out with us anymore. If you like her just tell me and Iâll break it off.â He yells.
Your stomach drops and his words start to ring in your ears. âDoes she really mean that little to you?â You say, your words dripped with disgust.
âOf course not,â He says. âI love her, but youâre more important to me than anyone else. When will you see that?â
Fat tears start to roll down your face, catching on your chin and dripping off onto your crossed arms. âIâm in love with you, Hansol. Iâve been in love with you for, like, two years and itâs tearing me apart inside. Why do you think my anxiety meds and the sleeping pills donât do anything? You take up so much of my mind and I canât do anything about it.â You sob. You wipe your face onto your sleeve, refusing to meet his eyes.
âFuck you, Y/N.â He says, his voice wavering, and thatâs when you realize that heâs crying with you. âI canât believe you never told me.â
You sniffle. âI didnât want to lose you. I canât lose you.â
âNo, Iâmââ He hesitates, âIâm not going anywhere, donât worry. Iâm sorry I couldnât see it.â
You nod, wiping away the last of your tears. Your face feels puffy and your chest hurts from sobbing so hard. âWhat now?â You ask.
âIâve been in love with you for as long as I can remember, but I canât just break up with Chaeyoung and move on in a day.â He says.
âSo?â You ask. It makes you feel like a bitch, but youâve gone this long wallowing in your own despair and you want answers.
Summary: uhhhh I donât remember how to write lol also Iâm trying to incorporate more of a fantasy aspect with like fairies and witches and stuff and Iâm also tryna establish more of a difference of cultures between the two kingdoms pls feedback I wanna know if itâs too weird for this story or not
When you were young, Jieun used to drag you around the forests of your hometown when she had free days. She had always loved the quiet thrum of nature; the whistle of the wind through tall trees, the sound of birds chirping when the sun was at its highest. There was a clearing in the forest just behind your small castle, and you loved it almost as much as Jieun did. The forest felt like endless possibilities hidden in the tree trunks, with forest sprites waiting to jump out of the underbrush and dance around you until you were dizzy and lead you to every hidden place.
Itâs times like these where you wish you could just go back there, enjoy the feeling of the sun on your skin and the dirt under your feet. How nice it would be to hold a bow in your hands again. To feel the light weight of your own hunting bow in one palm and the heavy weight of your fatherâs in the other. As you grew older and Jieun started to take her lessons more seriously, you began to take solace in the feeling of drawing the bow and shooting the arrow. You would give anything to have that feeling again.
Now, sitting confined in your room with the door locked and Mingyu begging for entry, that feeling seems so far away. Itâs hard to remember. It sits in the back of your memory just out of arms reach and the horror of not being able to remember something so significant takes over.
Eventually Mingyu gives up. You hear another voice outside, coaxing him into the dining hall for supper. You can hear his hesitance to leave you and it crushes you inside. You feel selfish, mourning something that hasnât happened yet. But no one can blame you. They all know how incurable Jieunâs sickness is. You sit in your lonesome in the eerie quiet of your room for as long as fate will allow. The peace lasts for an hour, and then Mingyu is knocking at your door again. Itâs a soft knock, decibels quieter than the absolute uproar he had been torturing you with earlier.
You approach the door, your hand laying on the latch as you consider letting him in.
âPlease,â You hear him whisper through the wooden slats. âIâm begging you.â
You flip the latch down and pull the door back just enough to let him know that he may enter. He pushes his way in gently and latches the door behind himself, effectively including himself in your isolation. Tears still leave your eyes, only now they leave in a drip instead of a stream.
âSheâll wake up.â He says, and you become overly aware of how much of a mess you must look with tear stains on your cheeks and redness in your eyes.
You wipe furiously at the wet trails on your face as he sinks down to sit beside you, creating a two person barricade along the doorway. âShe wonât.â You say, refusing to meet his eyes.
âShe will.â He says, taking your face into his hands and wiping away your remaining tears. âI swear to you.â
He dips his head down then, capturing your lips between his. You freeze for a second before youâre scrambling away from him, tears running down your face in a constant flow again. Youâre still in your day clothes, the draping sleeves getting caught under your feet and your corset cutting into your chest as your ribs heave up and down.
âY/N,â Mingyu says after a moment of shock has passed.
He reaches out towards you and you flinch, feeling nothing as you watch the hurt flash in his eyes. âGet out.â You say.
âIâm sorry.â He says, and you scream.
-
Jieun is pale and lifeless, transferred to her own room and heavily contrasting the dark red bed coverings. Wonwooâs kingdom with all of its advanced medicines and remedies has managed to do absolutely nothing to improve her condition. You sit at her bedside, holding her hand. Your cheeks are still stained with tears from earlier that evening, but you just want to forget.
âPlease wake up.â You say, running a hand through her hair. âI need you, Ji. I donât know what to do.â
Thereâs a knock on the door then, a soft rap that interrupts your train of thought. The door opens before you can answer. Wonwoo stands before you, his head hung low as he enters the room.
âA message from Yingan, my lady.â He says, handing you a slip of parchment. âIâve yet to read it, for your sake, but I canât imagine that it says anything heartwarming. We rarely receive messengers from Yingan.â
Your heart skips a beat at the mention of your home. You take the message from him with shaky hands, almost tearing it in your haste to unfold it. The parchment slips from your hands as your brotherâs neat script burns itself into your eyelids.
âM-my uncle heâsââ You stop, seeing the bruises on Wonwooâs hand that heâd been trying to hide. âYouâve hurt yourself.â
He shoves his hand behind himself, meeting your eyes with flushed cheeks. âNothing. Do continue.â
âMy uncle is on his deathbed. Theyâre crowning my brother as king in a fortnight.â You say.
âIs he requesting an audience for his coronation?â Wonwoo asks. You donât know why he does, itâs tradition for the royal families of all three peace kingdoms to be present at a coronation.
You nod. Jieun wonât make it. Itâs three days at sea and three days by carriage and she can barely breathe on her own lying still in bed. Wonwooâs jaw clenches as he looks over at his sleeping wife.
âI canât leave her side.â You say. Wonwoo takes a seat beside you and takes your hand in his. âWhat if something happens to her while Iâm not here? What if this illness consumes her?â
âA Yingan healer was sent to look after her. Sheâll be better by the time weâre back.â Wonwoo says. âYouâll have to stand beside me in her place at the coronation to symbolize the harmony between our kingdoms.â
âTell me what happened to your hand first.â You say. The fingers wrapped around yours are black and blue.
He tightens his grip on you. âI care about you as I care for the queen herself. My cousin disrespected you, so he faced the consequences.â
âThe consequence was your fist?â You say. Jieun has always hated violence, for once youâre glad that she isnât awake.
Wonwoo smiles, lacing his fingers through yours and standing up. âCome. I want to show you something.â He says.
You nod your head and follow, making sure that the door is shut securely behind you as you leave Jieunâs room. Wonwoo leads you through the halls of the castle that have become so familiar to you over the past few months. Years. Time has blended together and itâs sometimes easy to forget that you havenât been back home in years.
âThis is for you. A gift to apologize for your sister and my cousin, but mostly your sister.â He says. He opens the doors to the armoury and leads you in. Thereâs a bow hanging near the swords and a set of arrows laying on the ground. âMingyu told me about your love for archery back in Yingan.â
âThatâs mine?â You hesitate. He nods and you run towards it, a light feeling in your chest that you havenât felt in a while.
You lift the bow to inspect it. Itâs beautifully made, easy for you to carry, and your name is etched into the side of the handle. You draw the bowstring back, testing the draw weight, and it feels almost identical to your bow back home. You turn to face Wonwoo again with tears in your eyes to find him grinning at you.
âItâs beautiful. Thank you.â You say. He just smiles and grabs a crossbow from the adjacent wall.
âWhat did you hunt back in Yingan?â He asks as he grabs his own set of arrows and starts to leave the room.
You have to think about that question. Itâs been so long since youâve seen the native animals of Yingan that they donât immediately come to the front of your mind.
âMostly rabbits in the warm season and deer in the cold season. I didnât shoot to kill very much back in Yingan, it was mostly target practice on trees and an excuse to be alone in the forest. Violence angers the Gai, so we hunt with the intent to use every part of the animal.â You explain.
âThe Gai?â He asks. In the years that youâve been here, youâve yet to have had a conversation about your own religion and culture with anyone in the castle. You never considered yourself a very religious person before you left your kingdom, so itâs been a while since youâve had to think about the Gai and her rule over the world.
âOur goddess. Iâm not as religious as Jieun is, but some of my kingdomâs religious morals resonate with me. Jieun still prays to the Gai every morning, you know? It amazes me.â You digress.
Wonwoo nods his head. âI see. What else do you believe in?â He asks.
You shrug your shoulders. âIâm not sure that I believe in much anymore.â You say.
While you were talking, Wonwoo had managed to lead you to the base of the Shengo mountain. As you step up onto a ledge, youâre glad that youâd had the sense to change out of your day gown before you visited Jieun. You spot a white rabbit in the grass that has managed to not notice you or Wonwoo.
You set an arrow into the rest of your bow and draw.

Last night I had a dream with you in it. You, my sister, and I were in a living room drinking hot beverages (I don't drink coffee) and talking. The main part of it was that you were about to say that I look kinda close to passing as a guy and I had to tell you to be quiet because I'm not out. I thought it was weird cause you wouldn't out anyone but I think dream you didn't realize that I wasn't out. Lol. ~ Friend Anon
Summary: second part⊠where shall we go with this storyâŠ. (also I didnât mention this in the first part but in case u were confused mingyu is a Princeâą cuz heâs wonwooâs cousin)
Wonwooâs personality in private is so different from his personality in a public space. His smile is less flattering, completely different from the smile he gives you that makes your breath catch in your throat. This smile makes your heart skip a beat, it makes your cheeks flush pink and your stomach feel warm. His nose crinkles up and his cheeks fill out. The atmosphere shifts entirely, the air feeling warm and bright around you.
He manages to coax secrets out of you, things that not even Jieun knows. They tumble from your lips without a second thought, and he listens to each one intently, his face cycling through a range of emotions but always managing to come back to joy.
The clock strikes midnight and youâre still sitting on a bench out in the Queenâs Gardens in the middle of a heavy conversation.
âI really enjoy talking to you.â He says, a soft smile playing on his lips.
âYes, this has been a very enjoyable evening, your highness.â You say.
He leans in close, placing his lips beside your ear. Your heart starts to race in your chest. âYou can drop the formalities. Thereâs no one around to accuse you of treason, and I certainly wonât.â His voice is soft and delicate and barely audible.
You drop your head as you feel your face start to heat up.
âOf course.â You agree with a nod.
He stands suddenly and offers you a hand. You gather your skirt in one hand and take his extended one in the other.
âWe should probably get back,â He suggests. âMy mother will want me to see the guests out.â
âYes,â You nod. You lace your arms together and allow him to guide you back towards the castle. âI should make sure that my sister is resting peacefully.â
You part ways at the castle door, bowing your head out of tradition and courtesy before you take your leave. You make it out of the way just as the doors are opening to let the party goers out to their carriages.You look back as you slink into the castle and find that Wonwoo is watching you with a smile on his face. You return it with a smile of your own, your cheeks turning pink as you scuttle back towards Jieunâs room.

Roses have always been Jieunâs favourite flower. She loves the juxtaposition of the delicate, pink petals with their thorn-covered stems. Now, though, seeing those petals collecting in her chamberpot, covered in blood and spit, makes her stomach recoil and her head spin. They spill from her lips like an avalanche, and each new petal sparks a burning hatred for the plant.
âYour highness,â
Itâs a title that she hasnât gotten used to yet. She hasnât been the queen for more than two days, and she doesnât know how much longer sheâll be fit for the position.
âYes?â She replies, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.
âLet me help you back to your bed.â
Jieun takeâs the maidâs hand with barely any strength, allowing herself to be pulled onto two quivering legs. Each step feels like its taken on a bed of glass shards, and the winces leave her mouth as easily as the petals do.
âIs my sister coming?â Jieun asks, laying down on the mattress and curling up onto her side. She prefers to sleep on her back, but the doctor had told her that it would be dangerous, should her sick spells overtake while she slept.
The maid nods her head as she pulls the blankets up over Jieunâs shoulders. âI do believe that sheâs slept in your bed every night since you came down with the illness.â
Jieun closes her eyes and hums. âMy sweet sister. Make sure that sheâs taken care of when Iâm gone.â
âYour highness, donât say such things. Youâll live a long and prosperous life as the queen of this kingdom.â The maid scolds her.
If Jieun had the energy, she would laugh. But she doesnât, so she settles for sighing and sinking into the mattress.
It doesnât take long for you to show up in her doorway, and Jieun smiles a sleepy smile at you as you approach her.
âHi,â She says, reaching out towards you.
You take her hand in yours and sit by her torso, the bed dipping under your weight. Jieun struggles to hold your hand with a strength that matches yours, and she feels her stomach sink at the realization.
âLet me change into my nightclothes, and then Iâll join you.â You say.
Jieun lets her smile speak for her, placed softly on her face as if to say âthank you.â You tuck her hair behind her ear and place a kiss to her forehead before you depart from her bedside.

Mingyuâs fingers close around nothing but the cold breeze of a spring morning. It settles over his bare skin, sending a chill down his spine. He winces as the pain in his head is enunciated by the feeling of the cool air on his face.
âMy prince,â He hears muttered behind him.
A slender arm wraps around his waist from behind him. Mingyu cringes, lifting the arm from his body.
âIâm afraid that there has been a mistake.â He says, sitting up and facing the mysterious woman in his bed.
Staring back at him is a foreign princess, one that he had been briefly introduced to the night before. She has a pretty face and a pretty form, but he canât bring himself to feel anything for her. His head throbs, a reminder of just exactly how many mistakes he had made.
âIs there anyone you must be faithful towards besides our king?â She asks him, cocking her head to the side in a way that should affect Mingyu in one way or another, and yet he still feels nothing.
âNo, Iâm unmarried.â He says.
She smiles. âThen what about any of this was a mistake? No one has to know.â
âOf course,â Mingyu says, returning her smile with a smile of his own. âYou should leave.â
Her smile drops immediately and her face turns into one of complete scandalization. She throws the blankets back, biting back an argument, and shrugs on her clothes from the party all without breaking her glare. Mingyu lays back and watches her leave before snuggling back into his bed and falling back into a light sleep.
Heâs awakened only a few minutes later by his door slamming open and a light weight settling on his shins.
âYou should put some clothes on.â You say, and Mingyu finds something off-putting about the way that you manage to remain so impassive while sitting on top of his naked body.
âWhy? Thereâs nothing important about today.â He says, keeping his eyes closed and a distant smile on his face.
âKing Wonwoo was a few steps behind me.â You say.
Mingyu shakes his head and throws an arm over his eyes. âWeâve shared a bath before, it really is nothing to be concerned by.â He says, and he can just imagine how absolutely unimpressed you look.
-
Sometimes, itâs incredibly difficult for you to realize whatâs happening until itâs already happened. Wonwoo visits you with tears in his eyes. He takes your hand in his without saying a word. You close the book that you had been reading, leaving it on your bed, and you let him lead you out of your sanctuary.
âWhere are you taking me?â
Youâre met with silence.
âWonwoo, please. Whatâs happening?â
Again, he says nothing.
Your heart starts to race and your vision blurs with tears that leave hot trails as they fall down your cheeks, against your will. He leads you through the castle, and out into the warmth of a spring afternoon. Petals from the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard fly around you, landing in your hair and in your eyelashes, but Wonwoo shows no interest in how beautiful the grass looks covered in a layer of soft pink satin.
Your hand aches by the time he lets go, and your lungs burn with unfamiliar exhaustion. It takes a moment for you to recognize your surroundings. Youâve stopped outside of the queenâs private quarters. Wonwoo steps to the side to speak to one of the guards outside of Jieunâs door, saying something that you canât hear. Your heart drops into your stomach, and the tears start to fall more carelessly from your eyes.
âY/N,â Wonwoo says, placing a hand on your shoulder. You flinch.
Your mind starts to run on autopilot. You take your first step into the room and your only intention is to sit at Jieunâs beside and hold her hand, but an arm around your waist stops you.
The nurse speaks from Jieunâs side, a place that is rightfully yours. âSheâs resting.â
âFor how long?â You ask.
The nurse drops her gaze to her own hands. Sheâs choosing her words carefully, and you can almost see the cogs turning in her head. âItâs uncertain,â She says. âSheâs been like this since the morning. Nothing will wake her.â
Usually, your face holds a facade of joy and content, completely unfazed by the fact that the only piece of family that you have left spends her days dying in her bed with no remedy for her illness. You hold on so tight that your cheeks burn with fatigue by the end of the day and you cry yourself to sleep.
Today, though, your heart shatters and the mask of happiness shatters with it. Your throat burns and it takes a while for you to realize that youâre letting out a strangled mix of yelling and sobbing. Wonwooâs arms are strong around your waist, and they hold you against his body until Mingyu comes into the room and takes you from his hold. You resist, crashing your fists against Mingyuâs chest.
âDo something, Mingyu, please. You have to.â You cry.
âThereâs nothing I can do.â He says. He wraps his arms around you and cradles you to his chest, but you push him away and stumble towards the door with tears in your eyes.
âIâll be taking my leave, your highness,â You stammer, bowing your head in Wonwooâs direction. âPlease make sure that my sister is taken care of.â
Mingyuâs cries of your name are muffled in your head by the sound of your own sobbing. You flee down the hallway to your own room, barring the door behind you. It doesnât take long before there are knocks on your door, begging you to come out and speak to someone, but you curl up into a ball on your bed and lay there until you fall asleep.
The concert was so good. The venue was small so anywhere you were is relatively close to seventeen. I was close to the side so. I took videos throughout the whole concert. @ one point someone helped me b/c I was literally hunched over a small table to record. They're so beautiful O mg. My sister came with me to supervise. She said she liked mansae and my I. The performances were so great. Minghao's English was good. Scoups and seungkwan said I love you new york in a cute way. Pt1
The hip hop units performance was so great and hype. The whole concert was hype. Vocal team was like angels. I was basically screaming the whole time. Even still, my voice isn't that bad. I have a line on my stomach that hurts tho. Pt 2 ~ Friend Anon

So... I'm going to public school now! My prayers have been answered! Plus my new school is very strict about bullying so I don't have to worry about that. The only thing I'm worried about is falling behind since I haven't been to public school since I was around six. ~ Friend Anon
ahhhh!! Iâm so excited for you !!! I think youâll be fine I was in catholic school for elementary and I moved to a public school for high school and I was actually a little ahead of what we were learning
How excited are you about the upcoming concert now that it's happening so soon? It's only a week away but I don't feel as nervous as I thought I would. It's probably just because I'm still focusing on getting a nice outfit for the concert. ~ Friend Anon
I canât even think about finding an outfit right now Iâm leaving for university in like 3 days and I still havenât finished packing đ
