Chapter 1 (1/1)
~Yunho P.O.V~ “Son…… When are you going to marry and produce us an heir? We aren’t getting any youngerand it’s a little worry some. Blah blah blah……” ‘Great another ‘when are you going to give usan heir’ speech. When are they going to learn to just stop asking me that? If anyone shouldbe a little worry some it’s me!’ I gave my father and mother a smile hoping that they wouldn’tsense how irritated I was becoming. “Mother…… Father you need not worry so much. I willproduce an heir to you guys sooner than you think! I will raise him to be the best son andgrandchild one could ever be.” Mother took a step closer to me and placed her soft hand onmy cheek. “My dear baby boy. Your father and I love you very much and I’m sorry if youfeel we are pressuring you, but you must understand our position.” I reached up and gentlysqueezed my mother’s hand. “I understand loud and clear about how you two feel. I promisethe both of you that I will not let you down.” I leaned forward and gave mother a quick kiss on her cheek. I turned to my father who had asmile on his face. He reached and gave my shoulder a firm pat. “My son you make your motherand I so proud to call you our son.” I smiled and bowed slightly to his praising comment. “Thank you father. I am honored that I am able to make the two of you proud to call me your son.Now if you would excuse me I think I will go and study some in my room. Please do make surethat no one will come and disturb my focus.” My parents nodded their heads and I bowed to themone last time before I left them to go to my room. As I walking to my room, two figures sitting outin the garden caught my attention. When I went closer to take a look at the two figures in the garden,I knew exactly who they were. Yoochun and Junsu were sitting next to each other on a bench talkingto one another. Yoochun is my cousin and one of my best friends who lives in the castle with me andmy parents. Junsu, who is my other best friend I have known since I was a child, is my personal servant. The three of us have been together since we were very young and have been close for many years. It’s quite obvious to me that Junsu and Yoochun have feelings for each other. When I question the twoof them though they always deny it. I don’t know why they won’t just tell me. It’s not like I woulddisapprove of their relationship. I actually think that they were made for each other…… I won’t makethem tell me until they are ready though. I hope they spill the beans quickly; it’s getting rather toughholding my tongue. As I was watching the two lovebirds, I felt a grin spread across my lips. ‘They sure makea cute couple huh?’ Yoochun must have told Junsu to close his eyes because as he got up and walkedover to a rose bush, Junsu covered his eyes with his hands. As Yoochun plucked a rose, he did it verycarefully so that he could avoid pricking himself on the thorns. ‘Oooooh I hope mother doesn’t see him do that…… She will surely scold him if she finds out *smirks*.’ He had a smile on his face as he walkedback and sat next to Junsu who still had his eyes closed and tapped him on the shoulder softly. When Junsuopened his eyes and saw that Yoochun had picked him a flower a pink tint appeared on his face. Theblushing boy looked all over, like he was looking to see if anyone was around, and when he saw that noone was there he leaned over to Yoochun and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek. I silently chuckled to myselfas I watched Junsu blush even a deeper shade of pink and Yoochun touch his cheek with a stupid lookingsmile on his face. I shook my head as I continued to smile and walk back to my room. ‘See I knew it!I don’t know why they don’t just come clean already and admit it to me.’ I stopped walking when I reached my bedroom door and the grin I was wearing slowly faded from myface. I let out a loud sigh as I pushed open my door and walked inside. ‘Why can’t that be me and Jaejoong?’ When I walked inside my room I closed the door quickly and locked it so that no one would disturbme. I walked over to my closet and opened it up. I pushed all of my clothes to the side until I reachedthe clothing I keep in the back of the dark space. I pulled the clothes from my closet, threw themupon my bed, and walked over to my dark wood colored dresser and pulled out one of the drawers. I pulled it out completely until I was able to hold the drawer in my arm. Bending down slightly, I reachedinside with my free hand and took out a red colored box filled with a special concoction I use to colormy hair. If you haven’t noticed by now…… I don’t actually go and study when I am inside my room.The truth is…… I sneak out of my room and go into town so that I can go and admire the person I amdeeply in love with from afar. I just use studying as a cover up so that I know people will not come lookingfor me. I do however feel a little guilty for lying to my parents but sneaking out is the only way I cango and see Jaejoong. Yoochun and Junsu are the only people who know about my sneaking out and thereason why I do it. They have never seen Jaejoong but I trust them completely to not tell anyone. I only wear a disguise when I go out into public because it would be very troublesome if one of the civiliansrecognized me. If that were to ever happen then mother and father would always have someone keepingan eye on me. I really don’t want that to happen because then I wouldn’t be able to go out and see Jaejoong.Soooo to make sure that that doesn’t happen, I am very careful when putting on my disguise. I beganridding my body of its clothing until I was left almost nude with the exception of my underwear. Walkingover to my bed, I picked up the clothing laying on it and put it on. I walked over to the mirror, that wason my dresser, with the red box in my hand. My smile returning, I placed the box on the surface of mydresser and opened it up. Pulling out the jar containing the black liquid, I opened it up, and poured dome of the contents on myHands. I looked in the mirror as I applied the liquid to my hair to make sure I got every spot on my head.When I was finished coloring my hair, I washed the excess liquid off my face and hands in the bowl of waterI had setting on the dark wooden surface. Before I headed out to town I took one last look at myself in themirror, making sure my disguise looked perfect. ‘I can’t wait to go and see Jaejoong today. I bet he looksbeautiful like always selling the flowers from his cart.’ I walked over to my window and opened it slowlymaking sure that it didn’t make too much noise. I took my long rope made from bed sheets, and tied oneend to the leg of my bed, while I tossed the other end out the window. After pulling on the rope to makesure it would hold my weight, I started to climb out of my window. I made sure to climb very slowly so thatI wouldn’t fall like I did the last time I snuck out of the castle. Let’s just say I still have a bruise on my backfrom when I landed HARD on the ground. Moments passed as I continued to climb down from my windowuntil I finally felt my feet come into contact with the hard grassy ground. Thankfully my room wasn’t too farfrom the ground that I was able to throw the cloth rope back up into my window, leaving no evidence of myescape. Looking to my left and right, making sure no one was in sight, I quickly ran in the direction of town. When Ireached the gate that surrounded the castle, I went over to my secret spot that was covered by a bush. Sincethere are guards stationed around the castle I had to be very careful that they didn’t see me trying to sneak out.Luckily there was really only one guard who stood at the back and slept on the job I was able to climb the fenceeasily and slip away unnoticed. After jumping down I dusted myself off and made my way on the road that ledto town. The castle is only about a 5 minute walk so it took me no time at all to reach my destination. As Iapproached, I could hear the calls of people trying to sell their goods they worked hard to make, the laughter ofchildren playing with one another, and music filling the air. I smiled to myself as I saw how happy and energeticall the towns people were. ‘I am glad that everyone is happy here. Seeing them happy makes me very happy.Now…… where is Jaejoong today?’ My eyes scanned around the town to find Jaejoong but I wasn’t having muchluck. I decided that I would just go and walk around a bit to see if I could spot him anywhere. I felt like I waswalking forever until I finally found him. He was smiling and crouched down handing a little girl a freshly pickedrose as he patted her head gently. I watched as the little girl gave him a big hug around his neck as she thankedhim for the flower. Jaejoong stood up with a smile still on his face as he went to tend to his flowers sitting in hiscart. ‘He really is too beautiful for words. I must make him mine somehow. I want to see his smiling face everymoment that I can. But how am I going to make him fall for me if I am too afraid to talk to him?!’ I was immediatelybrought back from my thoughts when our eyes met and he gave me an angelic smile. I felt the inside of my bodyflare up and my breathing get caught in my throat. How could someone so beautiful even exist? I wasn’t payingattention and all of a sudden I heard someone yell out “Mister look out!” I turned my head around and saw a runawayhorse pulling a wooden cart loaded with hay headed my way. I was too scared to move and just closed my eyesas the horse came closer and closer to me. The next thing I knew I felt something heavy push me and land on topof me. After laying on the hard ground for a moment, I opened my eyes and looked to see what happened. WhenI saw what, more like who was on top of me, my eyes widened. Jaejoong was laying on me with worry writtenall over his face. “Are you alright? You’re not hurt anywhere are you?” I could only shake my head yes and no forI was all too speechless. ‘Did Jaejoong just save me from the runaway horse?!’ A/N: Hello dear readers!
