[M] My Last Lie: Sehun (1/1)

"Do you think its best to just give up when you know it isn't meant to be?""Of course not, hyung! Why would I ever do that?! As long there is life, we should never give up!""Calm down, Sehunnie... I'm only just curious about it""Then why did you asked me, hyung? Is there something wrong?""Ah n-no! Nothing's wrong..." * * * "Hyung, open your mouth.. aahh" I raise a spoon full of porridge to feed Minseok-hyung. I thought he would reject it but just like always, he would it eat despite the obvious pain he's feeling inside. His face may not show his true feelings for the world to see, but if you know better you'll see that his eyes would always tell a different story.It's been two weeks since the last time he smiled and I'm so worried of his state. He would always force himself to eat all the food I give him but his body would reject it, much to my dismay and his blotched body is now covered in different hues of blue. He's now too skinny, making him look frail and fragile and he no longer have the usual chubby cheeks he had and the sparkle in his eyes had long been gone.Right now, all I see is a very broken Kim Minseok. So instead, I took his weak hand in mine and gently kissed it.  I love you so much that if only I could, I would KILL just to have you...  Ever since I could remember, I had always been coming in this room whenever I'm sad or when I'm disturbed with something to wash my loneliness away. I don't know why but all I know is that this place holds a very special meaning to me. Because this place was the only place where I could find the only person I hold dearly. With Minseok-hyung, I feel like everything would be alright as long as he's there with me.  He was the first person who ever treated as an equal.  Being a bastard child, everything was so different. I was always treated like an outsider. Having been born from a forbidden love between a lowly palace maid and the king of the Lu Kingdom, I was never given the chance or freedom to decide for myself. It wasn't enough that the man who impregnated my mother, sent his own son alone to live in a neighboring country far away from the palace while my mom's death was plotted by my father's wife in the very same place I once called home.I was still young when I first entered the Ahn Palace, only to be dragged around and forced into labor work by those royals and sleep in the cold dungeon against my will. Ever since then, I realized that I'm no different than a mere slave. My life has revolved around forced labor work, punishments and a single steamed potato as my only meal for the whole day. I was always casually being whipped like a cur dog in the smallest mistake along with the slaves workers there for as long as I can remember.  But the hardest part is that my own brother had never once reached out to help me.  Everday, I always thought of just killing myself. What's the point of living when you have no one there for you? My mom is already dead and my own family doesn't care for me. I do had a bad relationship with my brother but before that, we both had the best relationship ever. He and I were like best friends and were inseparable inspite being born from different mothers. In fact, he's even more closer to my mom than his own mother.I don't know why but one day, he just suddenly shut me out and I never heard of him again. I know it was my fault of why his life was ruined. But still, he should have understand me. Princess Sohee never really loved him and was only using him to rise into position. I'm afraid that one day, she might betray my brother and end him. But I swear, I never really wished to kill his lover. It was an accident and I never thought it would lead her to her death.  But as they say, there is always a rainbow after the rain...  It blazing hot that time when we were all forced to work in rennovating the palace under the scorching heat of the sun. As a slave, we don't have the priviledge to drink much water unless you get the work done or else, you'll be punished. However, I was so dehydrated that I finally collapsed on the ground. Everything around me was spinning and my head feels so heavy. It's like there was a big hammer being used to pound my skull repeatedly.I feel like I'm gonna die. Darkness was slowly taking over until a cold liquid went all the way down soothing my dry and sore throat, giving me back the life for a second I thought I have lost. "Are you alright?" a smooth angelic voice rang in my ears, pulling me back from the darkness and towards the light. When I openned my eyes, I couldn't believe what I'm seeing. Because before me was the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my whole wide world.That was the first time I ever met Minseok, the crowned prince of the Kim Kingdom. I've always hated royalties because of what they did to me and my late mom. But ever since I met him, my view for them changes. Minseok doesn't just possess such ethereal beauty, but he also has the purest heart in the whole world.  And before I knew it, he stole my heart.  "Come, you should eat mo
