cwnhyunsu: the same girl
“hey, i could have paid for that!” hyunsu pouted as he shamefully accepted the gift, “but thank you. i’ll be sure to tell my entire kingdom how generous you are.” he watched as his friend handed the black silk to the vendor to wrap up for him. it was time to be the heroic friend hyunsu had claimed to be.
“excuse me? don’t let him pay!” hyunsu softly shoved yurye behind him, pulling out his card to hand to the vendor, “use my card instead.” he flashed a smile back towards yurye, as if he was waiting for his friend to give him praise. alas, it appeared as though his friend was becoming a little irritated with him, though he didn’t know why.
he swore he was listening. in fact, if yurye were to quiz him on the spot, hyunsu swears he could recite his exact words. of course, maybe he’d slip up on a word or two– or maybe even more, but it’s not like he had the best memory. he was only human, a human that loved hearing himself talk.
although, now that yurye was upset with him, he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty about his lack of listening comprehension.
so he stands there, trying to recollect yurye’s last few words before playing it off. “i have been listening. i swear!” hyunsu retorted, “small banquet…special girl…different from the rest…” the last part made hyunsu snort. hyunsu had spent majority of his time competing, flirting, and visiting many princesses from all kingdoms, and not once did he feel like one was different from the other. they were all the same young woman, usually with parental issues, who either cares too little about their royal duties or cares too much. at this point hyunsu felt like he could read any princess like an open book, so to find someone unique would be mind-blowing to him.
“special, huh?” hyunsu grinned, nudging his friend playfully, “ be honest, is she hot? what kingdom does she reside in? perhaps if she resides in my kingdom i could try and set you up!” although, hyunsu was doubtful that it was anyone from his kingdom, as he felt like he often outshined the other royal members residing in his palace. no hate to the other royals, though. he was just being honest.
despite being slightly irritated with hyunsu for his lack of listening skills, a grin pulls at his lips as his friend jumps to immediately pay for the silk he had intended on paying for himself. he quickly lets it disappear when hyunsu turns back to look at him though, considering the silk wasn’t the issue at hand here. with a small roll of his eyes, yurye does acknowledge his hyunsu’s efforts (although more self-serving first than sincere).
“thank you,” yurye gives a small bow to hyunsu as a small dramatic before taking the neatly wrapped package.
as hyunsu tries to repeat what yurye had been going on about, he can’t help but roll his eyes again when hyunsu ultimately snorts out loud with his own rendition of yurye’s words. not only did it sound like yurye made it out to be a fairytale romance - it really wasn’t considering eunae wasn’t even aware of his feelings… along with the fact that she would always address him as a friend - but it also made yurye sound like an easy romantic.
a frown makes its way to his lips how crude hyunsu’s tone is, although he knows it’s simply because of the amount of respect he holds for eunae. the last thing he would want hyunsu to do upon finding out yurye’s interest is evaluate her based on her looks. of course she was hot to yurye, but that wouldn’t be the first term he would use to describe her.
“she’s not from your kingdom,” yurye sighs with slight surrender, knowing hyunsu won’t give up on his questions unless if yurye gives him good enough answers. “and probably not by your definitions of hot, but she’s definitely beautiful.”
yurye hurriedly continues before hyunsu gets a chance to comment on yurye’s old-fashioness way of thinking. “she’s from the kingdom of hearts actually. and i think you might actually know her - or of her - considering she is the daughter of the king and queen.”
with just that, yurye can’t help the smile that creeps on him as soon as he starts thinking about the sweet and loving princess. “eunae. princess eunae.”
