내 왕자 My Prince || Stray Kids Hyunsung (Hyunjin x Han)

»»-- ♔ 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑰𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒆𝒔 ♔ --««

The next morning I woke up when someone carefully opened the door. He was quiet but not quiet enough for my ears. It was Lee Minho the palace guard, who wasn't a simple palace guard after all..

I carefully sat up, trying not to wake Hyunjin, pulling the white, velvety undershirt, that had travelled down while sleeping, over his shoulder again, to cover him. Minho's eyes were wandering back and forth between Hyunjin and me, before he nodded to the door. We both didn't want to wake Hyunjin, as we both knew that him sleeping was the best thing that happened in a long time..

I followed the brunette outside and he turned to face me, after closing the door behind us. We just stared at each other, our eyes saying the exact same thing: I don't trust you a single bit.

At least we were agreeing on that.

‚You're awake.' He began.

‚I am..'

Minho eyed the door, then me again. ‚Did you two...?'

It took me a moment before I realised what he meant.. my eyes widening as I did..

‚No!?' To even have the courage to ask something like this ...

‚Just asking.. the prince had more clothes on when he had entered the room yesterday..'

Why are you even asking in the first place.. -Apart from it being a kinda very personal question-... I knew you were standing in front of this door the whole time.. don't you think you would have heard?

‚I don't trust you..' He continued when I stayed quiet.. I wasn't feeling like saying all my thoughts out loud right after waking up.. I would insult people soon enough again by my mere presence.. I was the prince's lover.. a man at that.. Hyunjin played the fact down that everyone knows this now.. but I don't think it had no consequences for him. It had and.. it would have.. I've had my reasons why I didn't want him to out us.. or.. I didn't want him to out himself.. I wasn't important. I'm just some guard.. if I was cut sleeve or not, the people won't like me any way.. but he.. he was the prince, the first prince of Tang.. I'm just afraid this will have a lot of consequences for him and I hate that fact already.. I don't want him to go through all of this just because of me..

I forced myself back out of my thoughts, focussing back on Minho. He had just said out loud what I had thought all along. He just appeared out of nowhere and was supposed to be close to Hyunjin out of nowhere.. I don't want him close to Hyunjin..

If he was direct, I could be too... ‚Well.. I don't trust you either..'

‚But...' He looked away from me leaning against the wall next to the door. ‚The prince trusts you.. even after you told him about your... background.. which he didn't tell me.. just so you know..'

The way he was acting towards me, I kinda assumed he knew about it already... but for now it was good that he didn't...he will get to know about it soon enough...and that wouldn't help with our trust issues.

‚I trust the prince.. so I will trust you too for now, Han..' I take that. ‚But I swear' His eyes shot to me again. ‚If you try to do anything to him, then that poison inside your body will be your least problem..'
