Chapter 11 (1/1)

~Jaejoong P.O.V~ “I do NOT give you my blessings to get married.”  When I heard those words come from the king’s mouth,my world came crashing down in an instant.  ‘I knew in the back of my mind this would happen.  How couldsomeone as poor and unworthy as me marry Yunho…… a prince?’  My eyes stung as the tears rolled downmy face.  I really don’t know why I thought I actually had a chance to be with Yunho.  “J-Jaejoong and I can’tget…… married?”  The king walked up to Yunho with a serious look and nodded his head.  “That’s right.  Youcannot marry him and that’s that.”  ‘I guess I was just holding onto false hope.  At least the queen approved of our relationship.’  Yunho grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers together.  He scowled at the kingbecame really worried.  I was afraid that Yunho was going to do something he would regret.  I squeezed hishand and gave him a pleading look to stop him from doing anything.  He softened his face up and gave mean assuring look, then turned back to face the king hardening his face once more.  ‘Please let Yunho notupset to say something to the king he will regret saying!’ “Why will you not allow us to get married?!”  The king looked over at me with a not so happy face and said“He’s a man!  He can’t produce an heir!  Why can’t you marry a girl?  You do not have to love her right away.You can learn to love her over the course of time.”  The king was right……  I can’t have children and I ama man……  If only I were a woman then I would be able to be with Yunho!  The queen and everyone was intotal shock.  No one was expecting the king to say such harsh words and react the way he did.  “My husbandhow can you say such things?!  Have you no heart?!  Can’t you tell that they both love one another very much?!I cannot believe you of all people are acting this way!”  The king said nothing and continued to stare at me withintense eyes.  The tears continued to roll down my face when I lowered my head.  All I wanted to do was getaway from everything that was happening.  “I don’t care what you say father!  I am going to marry Jaejoongwhether you like it or not……  Even if that means you disowning me as your son……”  I shot my head up andlooked at Yunho, who was looking down to me smiling.  ‘No I can’t let that happen!  Yunho can’t give up everythingbecause of me!’  “No don’t say things like that Yunho!.....  I won’t allow you to say such foolish things!”  Everyoneturned to look at me when I suddenly shouted.  Yunho looked at me with confusion in his eyes and I just sighed.I put on a smile that tried to hide my sadness, but I knew that Yunho could see right through my fake smile. I took both of Yunho’s hands in my own and looked into his sad dark almond shaped eyes.  “Yunho……  No matterHow much it pains me to say this……  The king is right,  I am a man and cannot produce you an heir.  I reallydo love you with all my heart, but let’s face it……  We are from two completely different worlds.  I would love tomarry you and spend the rest of my life with you but, since we no longer have the opportunity to do so……  Imust let you go.  This is the hardest thing I have had to do.  I love you so much that……  I am willing to let yougo so that you can do what’s right.  I’ll never forget you even for a second Yunho……  I love you……”  I reached upplaced one last kiss on Yunho’s lips.  ‘I must memorize the feel of our connected lips because this will be the lasttime I will be able to do this.’  I parted from Yunho and looked into his sorrow filled eyes.  I let go of his handsslowly and walked to the king and queen.  I wiped the tears from my eyes and bowed to them.  “I am really sorryI have upset you in anyway.  I really don’t need anything so I will take my leave.”  I bowed on last time and turnedto leave.  I walked to Jessica and the rest with the best smile I could form.  “Come on Jessica.  I thinks it’s timefor us to go home.”  She just remained silent and nodded her head.  Junsu handed me Karam and gave me a sadsmile.  Karam was the only one giggling when he came to me because he didn’t know what was going on. I walked back, with Karam in my arms, to Yunho one last time because I wasn’t ready to leave him yet.  I pulledhim into a tight embrace and he didn’t say anything but hold me close to him.  I had to pry myself away from himand he gave both Karam and I a kiss on our head.  “I love you Karam and Jaejoong……”  “I love you too Yunho……Goodbye……”  I walked away from Yunho and Karam started to cry.  He reached out his tiny arms to Yunho and wailedloudly.  More tears flowed from my eyes and I patted Karam’s back trying to comfort him.  “I know Karam……  I know.I don’t want to leave him either but we have to……”  I was about to walk out the door but suddenly I heard the king’svoice call out to me.  “Jaejoong wait!”  I turned back around and saw the king walking towards me with a smileon his face.  ‘W-what ‘s going on?  Why does the king look so happy?’  He stopped when he was a few feet in frontof me with his smile still intact.  He grabbed my hand and guided me back to where Yunho was standing.  WhenI looked around everyone had a confused look on their face.  The king took my hand and Yunho’s hand and placedthem together.  Yunho and I looked at one another and then back to the king.  “Father?.....  What’s going on?” “I’m sorry if I was being harsh to you both earlier.  I’ve decided……  I give you my blessings to be married!”  Myface sprouted a wide smile and so did Yunho’s.  ‘I can’t believe it!  Me and Yunho can actually get married!’  Yunho pecked my lips thousands of times and I did too because we were both really happy.  He turned backto the king, who still had a smile on his face, and said “Father what made you change your mind?”  “Well thetruth is…… I wasn’t really opposed to the idea of the two of you getting married.  I could tell you both loveeach other very much.  I just said those things to test out how strong your love really is.  When Yunho saidthat he would even let me disown him just so he could marry Jaejoong, I knew right then that your love is genuine.I applaud you for your courage and your unbelievable strength Jaejoong.  You were willing to let my son go eventhough it was clear you were hurting, just so that it would “please” me.  To me that shows true love.  I am gladI am going to have a son-in-law like you.  And as for the heir situation……  You have Jaejoong’s little boy so thereis no need to marry a woman Yunho.”  Yunho went up to his father and hugged him as tightly as he could.  “Thankyou so much father!  You have no idea how happy I am right now!”  The king just chuckled and everyone joined inon hug.  One by one each person let go and we all had happy smiles on our faces.  ‘This really is a dream come true!  I am so glad that me and Yunho can get married.  I will never forget this day.  Not even when I am takingmy last breath.’ Yoochun cleared his throat to get all of our attention before he spoke.  “I know this is a happy occasion and all butI have something to tell you Yunho……”  He walked over to Junsu and placed an arm over his shoulder.  “Junsu andI…… well……  we love each other……  We have been together for a long time and we didn’t want to tell you becausewell…… we thought that maybe you wouldn’t like the fact that two of your best friends are in love with one another……”Yoochun looked over at a blushing Junsu and then back to Yunho.  “We’re sorry for keeping this from you for sucha long time.  Yunho left my side and walked towards the Yoosu couple with a smirk on his face.  He took his finger andflicked both Junsu and Yoochun on their forehead.  “You dummies!  I already knew the feelings you had for one anotherbecause you guys made it quite obvious!  Why would you think that I wouldn’t approve?  Of course I do!  In my mindyou two were made for one another and in fact I am really happy that you two are together!”  Yunho just smiled atthem and they smiled back with a look of relief on their faces.  Yunho walked back over to me and held out his handsto Karam.  I gave him OUR son and Karam finally giggled in happiness.  “D-dada.”  My eyes widened and so did Yunho’s.“D-did he just call me…… dada?”  I looked at Karam and tears flooded my eyes for the millionth time that day.  ‘Mybaby boy just said his first word!’  Yunho looked at me and Karam with eyes full of happy tears.  “H-he just called mehis dad!”  The whole castle was filled with so much joy and happiness that would probably last for a long time.   Therewas a wedding to look forward to and the future prince just said his first words.  ‘Could today really get any better?  Ihope this happiness can last forever!’ A/N:  Another chapter is done hehe!  I hope you all enjoyed
