...
Yeosang plopped on his bed beside Luna, "Ah Luna, what am I going to do? I have to face so many royals and officials but what if I mess up? Earth, Wind and Fire- FIRE!" and that's when he realized. "For gods sake Yeosang what are you going to do?! Jongho's going to be there!"
He didn't want Jongho to discover his identity just yet. Maybe he can skip? Sunghoon can cover it up right?
He bolted towards Sunghoon's chambers and threw the doors open. "What the-"
Yeosang found his brother on his bed as another boy wrapped his arms around Sunghoons waist. He was used to finding random boys and girls in his brother's room, but he still get amazed on how Sunghoon courts such good-looking people. This time, it was different, it wasn't Sunghoon who looked or acted dominant, it was the other boy.
"H-hyung" Sunghoon's eyes widened as he pushed the other away and covered his face with his big hands. "Sunghoon, you're poking my eyeball" the other boy, who had quite a sweet voice, said.
"Oh sorry" Sunghoon removed his hand and fiddled with his blankets in embarrassment.
The boy had a sharp nose and rather tanned skin and it was quite obvious that he was from the Kingdom of Fire.
"Hyung, I can explain-" Sunghoon started.
"Shh I'm gay too, but anyways, that's not what I came here for" Yeosang smiled at the other boy. "I'm skipping the feast tonight and I need you to cover up for me"
Sunghoon blinked, "Why? You're the reason we're having a feast and you want to skip?"
"Yes, because he is coming" Yeosang added weight to the specific word, hoping that Sunghoon will get the hint.
"Who? Choi Jongho?" Sunghoon asked as the other boy had his hands on his mouth.
"Captain Choi Jongho?" he asked.
"You know him, Jake?" Sunghoon turned towards his, hopefully, specific other from the Fire Kingdom.
"Yes, he's the royal bodyguard and is the captain of our army" the boy who Sunghoon had called Jake nodded.
"Pssh. My hyung caught a royal fish I see" Sunghoon wiggled his eyebrows while Yeosang rolled his eyes.
"Anyways, he doesn't know that I'm the Prince, so please cover up for me. I don't want him to show me any respect or fear of any sorts" Yeosang pleaded.
"I'm too young and handsome to lie but sure. I'll tell Father that you're not well or was eaten by a bear or something" Sunghoon shrugged.
"Thanks. I owe you one" Yeosang ruffed Sunghoon's hair and closed the doors on his way out.
"Now that's solved and nicely done" yet again, Yeosang fell onto his sheets.
Later that afternoon, he had ordered the palace servants to have Prince Wooyoung and Park Seonghwa, the son of a duke to be escorted to his chambers, so that he could sort out his feelings.
A few hours later, he heard the noises of royal horns, clopping of horse shoes and cheers of excitement from outside his window, signaling that the other kingdoms have arrived, but he didn't spare a glance away from the romance novel he had engulfed himself in.
In the following hour, Yeosang heard a few knocks on his door. "Come in" he called as the doors burst open, revealing his two best friends.
"Wooyoung! Seonghwa hyung!" Yeosang threw his novel to his bed and embraced his friends in a warm hug. "How long has it been since I last saw you two? Look at how handsome you got"
Jung Wooyoung, Prince of the Kingdom on Wind was a quite tall man with angular features and plump lips while Park Seonghwa, son of the richest duke in town was tall and lean with rather feminine features.
"This guy right here," Wooyoung whistled and gestured to Yeosang, "is a work of art"
"I'll ask for some food and let's catch up shall we?" Yeosang said amongst a little laughs that came out from his lips.
Hours passed by as laughter filled the room with a joyful atmosphere. Unbeknownst to the trio, the night creeped in and the sun started to set as stars lit up the sky. They heard ringing laughter and the clinking of glasses from the ball room downstairs. The feast had begun.
"So, Wooyoung, my love expert. I need some advice from you" Yeosang finally brought up what he had been wanting to ask from Wooyoung the whole time.
"Ah yes. Go on" Wooyoung nibbled on some sweetmeats.
"So there's this boy," Yeosang started as Wooyoung's ears perked up. "who's from the Fire Kingdom"
"Hold up," Wooyoung held out his hand. "Let me guess. You have feelings for him?"
"That's what I'm asking myself" Yeosang sighed.
"Tell him the symptoms, Yeo" Seonghwa picked plopped some dates into his mouth.
"Um, I feel nervous around him and I get a ticklish feeling in my stomach which I would like to call, 'Butterflies in my stomach'. I feel like," he paused. "I'm heating up when I'm with him and I always yearn for the end of the day so that I can go and meet him by the lake. I seem to always think about him no matter what situation I am in and he brings be so much comfort" he let out a breath, "I feel like he is melting me softly"
"My. . ." Seonghwa stopped chewing.
"In conclusion ; You like the guy. Go get your man, Kang Yeosang" Wooyoung whistled once more.
"Should I go?" he asked.
"Stop talking and leave." Wooyoung smiled as Yeosang dashed out of the door.
"Well that was fast" Seonghwa blinked.
Yeosang burst into the stable and hopped on Midnight. "You know where to, girl"
