Nightmares were common for Siwan. They are a recurring part of his life, especially after his brush with death. Faces would haunt him, especially those who valiantly sacrificed themselves for him.

He awoke, adrenaline rushing in his veins. He was safe, within his carriage, on the way back to his home. The slight rocking, together with the warm weather had led him to doze off. A sigh escaped, him closing his eyes in an attempt to wash away the memories of the nightmare. The person he was about to meet was far too important, he had to appear perfect. He had to appear happy.

While even royalty might call him a friend, Siwan knows otherwise. Even when the crown prince announced their friendship to him, Siwan knows that he deserve not the friendship. At the end of it all, when Woon is King. Siwan will remain a loyal subject, nothing more.

So there is a special person who is his solace. The gift in his hand, powdered pigments of color meant for her drawing blazed an excitement in his heart, awaiting her expression when she sees the gift.

Arriving, he alighted and crossed the grand boundary into his home, smiling naturally as he saw her awaiting his return. It had been three months since he left to suppress a bandit rebellion, and she was a breath of life for the battle-worn general.

“Hyeon ah.” He grinned, holding up the wrapped present. “I brought you a gift.”

“perhaps,” the princess begins wistfully, “but i am indebted to your brother. he has served my husband and i well over the years. it’s only natural we show him our gratitude.” indeed, maybe gifting a few acres of their land to the newly married couple could be seen as excessive– but the land had gone without use for decades. she had no need for it and neither did minsoo. bestowing it to general im and his wife seemed like the right thing to do.

“don’t tell me you envy him, chilhyeon-ah.” an impish smile makes way across her face. it was no secret ziyi retained a distaste for non-royals, but chilhyeon had become someone close to her heart after years of working with her older brother. “worry not. i will make sure to supply you sufficiently when your time comes.”

❝ Haven’t I met you before? ❞

accepting ⌇ haedal wedding prompt:     ❝ Haven’t I met you before? ❞

already from a young age he had been told he must know who the important families were, at least know their faces and names-- he never had to get close to anyone, polite greetings were all that his father expected him to give. so when the young girl, who was sister of the groom today approached him yul turned around and gave her a charming smile.

“we might have met somewhere lady chilyeon,” he bows her head politely at the female, “congratulations on the general’s wedding, it must be a happy day in the im household today.”
