Jong-Agjang

A/N: This is the last chapter but it won't be too long. At least compared to my other book finales.
***************************

Once Jin realizes that the king most likely halted his original plan for an heir with his captain was because of jealousy. He then knew he had to explain things to his beloved Taehyung. Who he's sure is in the dark regarding the kings true feelings for him.

But he knew he couldn't go to his room right away. So all he could do was wait anxiously for the kings next move.

Meanwhile, the king is determined to end whatever affections are blossoming between his husband and his captain. He won't lose him after waiting so long for him.

He decides to go have a talk with Hyungsik and get that out of the way. He's sure he wouldn't object because he knows his husband is very attractive and anyone would love to be with him. If he wasn't already in love with the captain, he may have fallen in love with his husband.

He sits in the royal chambers and sends for Hyungsik.

When he arrives the king tells everyone else to leave them alone. Once they were alone, he motions for Hyungsik to sit.

He does as he's told and sits in front of him.

"I know you must be wondering why I have called for you. But first I think I should tell you that I am very impressed with how much you have accomplished as the captains second in command.

I don't have any doubt that you are very capable of leading the men in case an issue arises."

Hyungsik looks very confused and thinks that maybe something happened to Taehyung. So he curiously asks, "Is there something wrong with the captain your majesty?"

The king laughs and knows he probably sounds like he's about to get rid of the captain. But that is the farthest thing from his mind.

"No, no.. I just wanted you to know that I know your capabilities. That's all..

But the main reason I called for you is something that I will need your complete discretion to. And it will need to remain a secret between just you and I.. and the other person involved. Do you understand?"

Hyungsik furrows his eyebrows before replying, "I think so. You want me to keep whatever you say to myself."

"Yes.. because what I have to say is very... um, how shall I put this? It may seem very untoward to most people."

"I understand your majesty. Please continue."

"As you know, my husband and I haven't had much luck with producing an heir. And the counselors are constantly nagging about it.

But what nobody knows is the reason why we haven't had any luck with an heir is because he and I haven't.. um...

I haven't been able to perform my husbandly duties because of.. of.."

Hyungsik realizes what he's trying to say, so he tries to make things easier. And very cautiously says, "Because of your love for the captain."

The king looks very surprised and asks, "You knew?"

Hyungsik tries not to laugh and replies, "Yes your majesty. But what does that have to do with me?"

The king then explains, "Yes, well because I can't perform. My poor husband is not pregnant. And the reason I asked for you is because I would like for you to sleep with my husband for the sake of producing an heir."

Hyungsik is unsure if he heard him correctly and says, "I'm sorry your majesty. But for a minute there, I could've sworn you asked me to sleep with your husband."
