i hate this story with deep passion
Yeosang waited. He waited by the frozen lake, under the bright moon.
He waited for Jongho. He hoped with all his heart that he would hear Jongho calling out his name. Yeosang wondered why he rode here on full speed, he had met up with Jongho ever since the Kingdom of Fire had arrived, but he still yearns to see Jongho sitting by the lake.
He had developed feelings without realizing. Even the little things Jongho did or said, made his heart skip a beat. Some days, when he was tired, Jongho would even sing for him, making his heart race.
There were countless times where Yeosang had blushed for Jongho. He didn't understand what kind of sorcery Jongho had casted on him, he has never felt like he does towards Jongho towards anyone else, expect for that one young boy he had met when he was younger. His heart neglected his feelings towards the other as Jongho might think Yeosang is weird to be feeling an attraction in such a short period of time.
He didn't want Jongho to be uncomfortable around him nor did he want him to be distant. Yeosang wanted Jongho to stay by his side, no matter which kingdom he is from.
Are these feelings real? Is it just an attraction? Or does he feel strong emotion?
He was confused with himself. Or did Jongho just remind him so much of that boy? Was that why Jongho's warmth was so familiar? Was that why is heart believes that he has feelingstowards the other? These questions were left unanswered when he heard a familiar clop of horse shoes. "Yeosang !"
His head swiftly turned around, finding his new found lover, upon his horse, looking down at him.
"You were waiting for me?" Jongho slipped off his brown horse.
"Yes, of course" Yeosang refused to lie. "But why are you not in the palace?", he knew that he was over the moon to see Jongho, but he pretended as if he was annoyed, and Yeosang cursed at himself for not welcoming the other.
"You were not there, so I came to see you" Jongho smiled and approached the latter.
There goes my heart, Yeosang thought as he felt his heart bang against his chest. At this point, after all those confusions, he was sure that he liked Jongho.
"I dressed up just to impress you, but you were no where to be seen" Jongho chuckled as sat beside Yeosang.
"I-Impress me?" Yeosang felt his cheeks dust in red as his heart started banging louder. So loud that he was afraid that Jongho might hear him.
"Yes, Snowboy, I wanted to show you my position" Jongho said and puffed up his chest, revealing the colorful badges and his Kingdom's crest. Immediately, he ran out of breath and loosened up with a soft chuckle, making Yeosang laugh.
Tell him, Jongho. You are a captain of an army, you cannot hesitate, Jongho started to get nervous and sweaty.
Kang Yeosang you are the crowned prince of your kingdom. Find the courage in you, you idiot, Yeosang too, cursed at himself.
But somehow, both of them knew that this wasn't the perfect timing to confess their boiling emotions towards each other.
"Jongho, I-" Yeosang was cut off when he felt a heavy head fall on his shoulder. Jongho.
"I'm quite tired from running around the palace to find you. Can I rest on your shoulder?" Jongho yawned.
"Oh, I apologize for making you run around. and yes, you may rest" Yeosang laughed at how desperate Jongho had been to find him.
"We all have a big day tomorrow. It's the Princess's engagement ball" Jongho shivered at the thought of his princess as a worried expression creeped up to his face.
"Captain, what's wrong? You seem quite worried" Yeosang mentioned.
"It's been a long day" Jongho sighed. "I had to reject the one person I used to care for the most"
"I guess you know us both quite well" Jongho chuckled. "I care for her, I obviously do, but Yeosang, I just don't seem to have feelings for her"
No matter how much Yeosang wanted Jongho to be his, seeing his lover so desperate and sad made his heart ache. "You cannot force yourself to like someone, Jongho. Feelings come from your heart, even if you want it or not. They come without realizing and then there's a few times where you might have to think and recall, and that's when you will realize your feelings"
"Whether you like it or not, your heart decides it. Sometimes you may not have feelings for the one person you think you do, and you may have feelings for the one person you think you despise. Just thinking about a specific someone doesn't mean you like them either. I remember this one time when I was a lot younger," Yeosang continued as Jongho's ears perked up.
"There was a young boy around my age from your Kingdom. I tried to save him but I couldn't. I held his hand and the surge of warmth that ran through my body, was the same warmth the person I love gives me. I used to think of that boy a lot, and I still do. I used to believe that he was the love of my life" Yeosang said as he heard a soft laugh from the other.
"What did that boy look like?" Jongho asked, quite curious if they were thinking of the same person.
"He looked fragile and his hair was black with red tips, like yours. His hands were warm and soft. I tried to take him to my safe locker in my room, but the guards caught him and shot an arrow. He couldn't have survived. I don't know why, but I still remember his adorable voice and mostly, his warmth-" Yeosang's words led to an abrupt stop when he felt a familiar tingle down his back as Jongho slipped his hand into Yeosang's.
The warmth, the soft hands, they were too familiar.
Jongho lifted his head and looked into Yeosang's grey eyes, "What if that boy was me?"
