𝙃𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙍𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙨 : #2 in CHOI JONGHO
...
Just like that, the Crowned Prince of the Kingdom of Ice and the Captain of the Royal army of the Kingdom of Fire fell in love and confessed their feelings towards each other during the Prince's engagement ball towards another woman.
(a/n : fuck this sounds like the most sarcastic shit ever)

Yeosang skipped his own engagement ball and retrieved his ring - the ring which he had no hopes on wearing - from Wooyoung who had done a hideous job at it.
"How did it go?" Wooyoung asked as Seonghwa plopped down beside a smiling Yeosang.
"I could definitely say that it went great. . . He likes me too" Yeosang covered his face like a shy girl who saw her crush staring at her as Wooyoung threw a weird look at Seonghwa.
"Someone's changed a lot" Seonghwa coughed.
"Who? Me? No way" Yeosang cupped his own cheeks and swayed side to side, only to be harshly stopped by Wooyoung who grabbed his shoulders.
"Kang Yeosang, you are the next king of the Kingdom of Ice. What in the name of The Dragon are you even doing?" Wooyoung slight slapped the other's cheek. "Get some sense into you, you idiot"
"Oh right" Yeosang dropped his shy smile and replaced it with a stupid-looking smirk.
"Now that's even worse" Seonghwa stuck out his tongue.
"Yeo. I'm giving you this advice as one of your only two friends. Don't get too worked up about this whole situation okay? You're going to be obsessed with that boy if you don't stop yourself. Sure he likes you too, but keep your limits. I don't want your father to dethrone you if he finds out" Wooyoung locked his golden eyes with Yeosang's grey ones.
"I'm sorry. I must have looked like a psycho" Yeosang gave Wooyoung an apologetic smile, who only ruffled his hair.
"There's no crime in love, no matter what gender it happens within. As long as you love this Jongho guy and as long as he reciprocates your strong feelings, we don't mind. He doesn't seem like a bad person either. We're not encouraging nor discouraging you, but keep in mind that you can always come to us if you need any help" Seonghwa smiled.
"Thank you. So much. You two are the best!" Yeosang pulled both of them into a hug.
"We know that Yeo" Wooyoung chuckled. "We're off to bed. We have harder days coming up" and with that said, Wooyoung and Seonghwa left Yeosang's chambers.
"My wedding is in a few days. . . What are you doing Yeosang?" the devastated boy laid on his bed, facing the tapestry that hung above him. "And how will you face him tomorrow?"
Luna jumped on beside him and snuggled into Yeosang's torso as the prince put his arm around his pet wolf and fell into a deep slumber.

The soft yet bright rays of the sun poured through Yeosang's window and laid bars of orange light on his marble floor.
The owner of the very room awoke and let out a loud yawn and found a set of royal clothes draped over a dummy. The royal servants were strictly warned not to go into Yeosang's room and all he could do at the moment was to storm out of his chambers to find out who entered his room without permission.
"Father" he burst into the King's chambers.
"Yes?" the King answered.
"The maids entered my room" in Yeosang's eyes brew a storm and his father knew no more than to execute the maid who broke the rules in the Palace, whenever his son would burst into his room, yelling at him.
"You know that no maids are allowed into my room! No woman is allowed in my room" Yeosang gritted his teeth.
"Yeosang, it was the princess who brought your riding clothes today" King Hyun tried to sound as calm as possible while he pretended to not feel the icy cold energy that the young boy radiated.
"No woman is allowed in my chambers. You of all people should know that" Yeosang clenched his fists.
"She is your future wife-" King Hyun started.
"I told you father" the Prince closed his eyes in annoyance. "I told you that I shall not consider her as my wife. I told you that I will just let her sit beside my throne, and nothing else"
"Yeosang, I just wanted you to bond-" the King was yet again cut off.
"I don't need your excuses, Father. If you keep sending her into my chambers, I shall call off our engagement" Yeosang threw his father one last look and went back into his room, slamming the door behind him.
He sat on his chair and buried his face in his palms as sudden tears poured through the gaps of his fingers, when he heard a knock on the door.
"Princess, please leave-" he started but came into an abrupt stop when he heard the door open. "Now you come in without my permission?" he lifted his head and found the last person he wanted to see looking down at him.
