「 Sister of Mine 」

starter for @dalhayoung

He could hear her footsteps rapidly closing in on him as he walked out into the back entrance of their family home. A nostalgic wave hits him, as he remembers being in this sort of scenario with her countless of times when they were children. Hyunshik vividly recalls sneaking his younger sister out of her boring classes just so she could play with him and their oldest brother, only to get caught by the servants and be punished accordingly. Even back then, him and their older brother would take the fall for her, he remembers Hayoung mostly only being sent back to her classes and is given extra lessons as a form of discipline.

This time however, life had plenty of dangerous lessons to teach. All of them, especially the life him and his male relatives have dived into, were teaching he would never want any where near his beloved sister. Turning around, catching her by the shoulder as he looked past over her head to make sure no one was around and following them, Hyunshik then only looks down at her. Their mother always did say they had the same eyes. 

“Be quiet. Not a word,” Swiftly looking around again, he tried to relax his tense body, hoping that if anyone would see them they would not be suspicious of what is going on with the Kim siblings. “You will not open your mouth until I say so. Otherwise, I swear to heavens I will make sure I personally see you back to your rooms in a heart beat.” 

He would eventually have to explain to her, much to his dismay, but it would be in his own terms and in his own territory. He waits impatiently for her to nod, before dragging her back into the stables where he kept his horse and ushering her to ride in silence with him until they get back to his estate. Hyunshik could already feel the throbbing headache building up in his head, he sent a solitary pray that he would not at least disturb his wife from all this commotion.

“ this was a lovely night.”

he nodded, both hands holding gingerly onto the plate of sweet cakes in his hands, settling down to sit. the skies were clear too, and if he could, he would have laid down on the floor,  just staring into the vast skies, orange hues of the burning lanterns lighting up around his peripheral vision. he and his brother used to do that often as children, laying down in their own courtyard, staring into the skies. 

his mother had chided them for not behaving appropriately, but hui never fail to spot the tiniest hint of a smile on her kind lips, before he ran forth to tug at her sleeves asking for an affectionate pat on the head.

❝ it is. i haven’t seen such clear skies in a while, sometimes the snowfall made it looked like it was weeping. ❞ still, a smile remained on the young man’s face, before he held the plate towards her. ❝ would you perhaps like to have some, lady kim? ❞

dongho turned towards the young lady, putting on his best smile ( best, as in non-menacing grin, which apparently he owned ). he recognized her, having seen her with her family at similar events - the daughter of chief state councillor kim. even if dongho was never one to preoccupy himself with the art of politics as a military personnel, he always remembered what his father had said.

always keep an eye out on the state of affairs, including committing the names of every family to memory.

he doesn’t know her age regardless, but easily guessed that she was younger. doesn’t matter - in the courts, only formality goes, and he would address her all the same. “ lady kim, ” he greeted with a firm dip of his head. if it was a male, he would have offered them a drink, but such seemed too unruly for the ways of a lady. instead he tried to focus in between that very light buzz of his mind from all the alcohol, and asked in return, “not used to events like this?”

“ will she come to love him, do you think?”

☆┋event: royal wedding, open

hyojin can’t help but bite his lip once the question is asked, brows furrowing for a short second. in reality, he didn’t know. no one could know until some kind of chance was given for her to love him. “won’t time tell? she is forced to give him a chance.” he replies after a while, reaching for his glass of wine and taking a small sip. he never was a fan of alcohol.

“what about you. do you think she will?“ he asks, finally looking at hayoung, brow slightly raised as he crossed his arms over his chest. however, before she answered, hyojin quickly searched for the bride in the crowd, quickly finding her and smile before looking back at hayoung.

“ i feel like a child in clothes far too big for me.”

“You look like a child.” He snorts back, teasing his younger sister as he escorts her from one room to the other. Gaze quickly spotting his wife socialising on the other side of the room, he quickly diverts his attention back to Hayoung. Between his first family - his parents and siblings - and his current one - his wife and sons - Hyunshik thought his work is really caught out for him. He was fat too overprotective of them all and always needed to be aware of everything that is going on their lives, that he is grateful whenever they tell him off his little overworking mind. 

“Are you sure you’re not running around in mother’s clothes again?” Gently grasping her arm as he pulls her closer to avoid a couple who were too focused on themselves then their surroundings. Hyunshik makes a mental note on who the pair was, a curious observation that he might want to exploit later on. Shaking his head, he refocuses his attention back to his sister, while his eyes drifted back towards where his wife was.
