Kim Bum couldn't beat Taehyoung in anything, Tae being the handsome, charismatic, talented , brave warrior with the glow of prince...didn't let Bum to achieve anything despite of being the son of first guard.

But Kim Bum was sure about one thing, Taehyoung won't be the first guard for the next king because he thought Tae hated anything related to the castle or palace life.

So he knows Tae won't stand in his path of achieving his life time goal of being the next first guard that is to be the guard of future king Jeongguk.

All Bum's dreams were thrown in the fire that night. Yes, he perfectly identified the prince even with all the disguise. Because Gguk is not just a prince for Bum, he is Bum's dream .

In the process of training to be the next king's guard, Bum often visited the castle with his father and the way Gguk shine like a new porcelain doll always make him wonder how would it feel to touch the doll and feel those beautiful skin under his finger.

This pushed him to the next level and he illegally made connection with one of the prince concubines, just to know gossips about prince.

Bum knew everything about Gguk's admiration for his hyung, but he never thought it would develope in to this stage, the stage to kiss Tae in the middle of hundred warriors.

Now, he is thinking about the way to end this relationship. He had two choice one to expose the prince to king. That will only kill Taehyoung , that will leave Gguk grieving for his hyung, by doing this Bum cannot attain his goal.

So he chose to take this as a chance and get close with Gguk. He thought ,he should secretly expose them once he gained the trust of Gguk, that can make him Gguk's life long King's guard, and if he gets lucky, he can feel more than just his glowing skin.

With all the thoughts in his mind, Bum made his way through the dancing warriors by pushing them to his side. He went straight to Gguk who is clapping his hands sitting by Taehyoung . He stood straight before Gguk and extend his hands in front of happy prince..

" Nice to finally meet you beautiful... I'm Kim Bum, son of First guard of King.... May I have a dance with you?? "

Gguk didn't say anything, he just shook his head in the way of saying no, but with a kind smile in his eyes. When Bum again insisted, Gguk looked at Tae and Tae denied Bum saying..

" She is taken Bum... She is tired, Leave her alone" Tae said with unbothered smile..

" Kim Taehyoung!! Can I have a word with Honourable Prince Jeongguk.. " Bum said lowering his tone , so only Gguk and Tae could heard it.

Tae took a strong hold of the Bum's extended hands and subtly twisted it with clenching jaws , but Gguk softly consoles him and stood up catching the hands of Bum.

" Kia!! You don't have to... " Tae said while glaring at Bum, but Gguk bent down and placed a kiss on Tae's cheek and whispered..

" Hyung! He is the Son of first guard... Let me talk to him... If he threatens lets eliminate him today.... Rejecting his offer is not a choice for us... It's quite dangerous... " Saying this Gguk stood straight and blinks at Tae saying he can handle..

" Just gimme a sign if things goes wrong, I'll behead him here" Tae said with anger...

" Done! "

" What do you want... ?"

Gguk asked standing and dancing little away from Bum. Gguk showed his prince attitude and gave him a demeaning look.

" I don't want anything Wangnim!!! Don't worry... I know it's not my place to judge you or expose your identity here... Besides you are my dream.. "

" What?! "

" Being your guard is my dream Wangnim.. Today..... I'm just curious...!! I don't know what game are you brothers playing??

Pretending to be lovers? Why?! You wanted to join the feast and Tae brought you here in disguise for your protection?"

" Ahhhh.... Yes!! You are right.... We were practicing archery, we caught that rein deer... I wanted to join the feast, so he disguised me as a girl, so no one gets panicked to be with prince and give me royal treatment... Nothing else"

" and... What about the kiss??!! Yeah I know... That too was a act right...?? Both are excellent actors by the way... Even I would have believed that you were couples, if I haven't seen you in castle that many times..."

" Mhh.. Ok... What do you want... Why did you challenge us back there.. "

" Challenge??!! Omg!! Don't call it a challenge... I'm just a normal civilian who took my chance to meet my dream prince... I mean being your guard is my dream job.. "

" Sorry to break your heart warrior.. But I don't need a guard... I have my hyung... Look at him... Isn't he the best??!! " Gguk taunted Bum..

Tsk!!! If you aren't this beautiful...

I would have just end your crush right here...

" Wangnim!! I understand that... But both the prince need protection... Anyway you gonna choose someone to be your first guard when you get on the throne... Why shouldn't I be the one... "

" Yeah!! Who knows what future planned for me... I can't promise anything warrior.. "

" Can we be friends at least?! I know it's inappropriate to ask a prince to by friend... But here I am ready to take the risk.." Bum asked..

" That I can do... and it's not inappropriate... I have many commoner friends.. Yeah!! We can be friends.."

" Thank you Wangnim... "

Pretty Gguk!!!

Are you really a girl dressed like a boy just in the castle?!

" Welcome... So... Can I trust you? Can you keep this secret within us? "Gguk asked..

" Of course Wangnim... I'll guard your secrets atleast... "

" Good... But don't worry Bum... If I raise to throne, I'll consider you... " Gguk slowly left Bum and came back to Tae..

" What's going on Ggukie?! What were you discussing about ??!! Is he threatening us? "

" Harmless guy I guess... He wants to be my first guard when I raise to throne.. I hope that's his only intention... I accepted his offer to be my frriend... "

" Why did you??! " Tae asked..

" To keep him close... "
