Our love~ HyunjinxFelixxReader

Part 7

Felix's P.O.V

What I heard from Hyunjin last night ...appalling. Why was such a big thing being kept from me? Or was it even a big thing? Was love that important? Why was a commoner such a massive part of my life - of a king's life? I must have hit my head on a wall - hard. Things were going so fast. Too fast. I couldn't keep up.

Yet, I wondered if they loved each other. Was I a barrier between them?

The thoughts were shoved against the back of my mind as Y/N called my name.

I looked at her - beautiful. I had no words to describe her. Her delicate features and fragile personification - but unbending courage. The will to serve her people right. She would make a perfect queen. I smiled to myself and looked at her once again. She was smiling - for real. Truly happy from the bottom of her heart - like me, when I am with her. Y/N was always so serious about joining our defence force and wanted to be treated that way - like a warrior.

I decided to confess my feelings to her. Not because of what Hyunjin apprised in the past. But because she needed to know - whether she felt the same or not was on her - she needed to know, so I could take the burden off me. Which slowly killed each part of me like a venom. Eating me whole.

I invited her for a stroll near the pond.

It was delightful. With my favourite person, at my favourite place. Water serenely trickled down the miniature, artificial waterfall, I had ordered to build to add to the aesthetics of the place, which caused ripples - so undisturbed, this place was, compared to my life. We set down on the fresh greenery. The scent of the fresh grass combined with tulips and water. I gently grappled a baby bunny hopping past and petted it gently between the ears as I cleared my throat.

"Y/N," my heart's rhythm grew unsteady again.

She looked up from my tender hands - meekly rubbing behind the white-haired rodent's ears - and locked her eyes with mine for a moment, cut short by the realisation that we had slowly shuffled closer to each other. She descended a little and - tried to - look me in the eye. A hum.

"I..." I didn't know where to begin.

"We," What am I doing? I had practised at least a hundred times. I stumbled on my words. When she broke the awkward silence -

"I want to say something ... Felix," She used my name. She never calls me that. It's always either 'majesty' or nothing. Lately it had been uncertain 'ums' and 'errs'. She looked away, glanced at the tulips - a painting of yellow and pink and red on a beige horizon and green earth. "I ... am unsure where to begin. My life - feelings - have been a messed-up jigsaw puzzle lately." Is she - "I think I have it sorted out now. There was a missing piece."

A

long silence thrumming in our ears

"You." I finished the sentence.

Her eyes widened a little and her mouth parted. I nodded in response to her unspoken question.

The space between us slowly vanished.
