Tainted Fate (Chanjin/Hyunchan)

Chapter 13

Note: I forgot to mention this in the last chapter but when Minho said "Hyung is seeing green" he was indicating Chan is jealous since the colour green is often associated with jealousy.

Author's P.O.V

Destiny was drawn across the stars when the trueblood's mate saw the first light of the full moon. When Moon Goddess's favourite child was born. The black pearl, the most rare of all, which shined and brightened up the darkest rooms, was sent by the Goddess herself as a sign of the fated bond.

Yet only few knew that the shine of that very pearl, that held the power to protect such bond between the pair, could be hidden under the chaos of the red moon. The moon took its bloodiest from only in every decade. The last time it did, the Goddess's favourite child got a scar so deep at such a tender age, it's still has not healed properly. But fate had suddenly changed it's path. The red moon shall appear earlier than it's time with the powers of the evil. And when the red moon appears again, the trueblood and his pureblood must be careful. They must hold onto to every fibre of faith or the red of blood shall bury beneath it the colour of love.

Hyunjin's P.O.V

I told him everything, about the incident at lunch and about the knife, when we sitting alone at our spot at night. He never scolded me, or criticized me or even gave me any advice. He just held me when I cried. Like he always does. And that was all I needed.

Few moments later he said, "That damn Wook! I met him once before when his father our home last year for some meeting with my parents. And that little rat had tagged along. My brothers hated him since the beginning. And don't tell anybody. But I hated him too! One day I will kill him myself."

I laughed at his angry rant. I knew he wanted to make me laugh. It was clear through his satisfied smile hearing me giggle.

He suddenly changed the topic and we moved on to telling each other nice little anecdotes from our respective pasts.

"Who was or is your idol growing up?" I asked him.

"Appa, definitely. The way he loves our people, how he respects Eomma and adores us. I want to be like him someday. Or at least try to."

I nodded knowimg how much Chris looks up to his father.

"What about you?" He asked.

"Hyungnim." I said.

"Huh?" His confused expression was so cute!

"Remember when I told you about the soldier Hyungnim who saved me when I was kidnapped. He was my trainer before. He was gentle and respectful. I admired his skills. He always encouraged me too! Can you rven believe that I still don't know his real name? He never told me and asked me to call him just Hyung. He has gone faraway now. Appa said that Hyungnim had some personal work. I hope I can meet him soon. He'd be so happy knowing I have started training again!" I said with a genuine smile.

"You seem to trust him a lot." He said.

"I do. There are not many I can trust anyway."

I heard Christopher clearing his throat loudly, he was looking on the otherside but I could still see that his lips were almost in a pout. Wow! The crown prince of the Moon Empire is sulking!

"He is way older than me. He is not like my brother. He basically is my brother. I consider and respect him as my hyungnim." I said followed by a little chuckle.

"Why are you telling me all this? I am not bothered at all!" Chris said trying to hide his smile.

I just giggled and he quickly tried to change the topic. And I found it all nothing but adorable. This boy sitting beside me is special. I have come to know that the word had a good meaning too.
