His Highness

Chapter 16: Haunting me

"Stay with me..." MingGi mumbled sleepily and pulled on his arm in an attempt to drag himself up.

HyunSoo sat next to him and the elder gently rested his head on his shoulder.

"Thank you for bringing me back." He said, and the younger nodded his head.

Silence engulfed them for awhile until the elder male finally spoke up again.

"HyunSoo-ah, you know...I like you." He suddenly confessed.

HyunSoo's eyes widened and he glared at the sleepy MingGi.

"What? Are you serious?" He exclaimed and pulled him up such that they were facing each other.

"I like you HyunSoo. I know we have very different lives but I like you so much that I can't help it. But I know your Father would never-" 

HyunSoo plunged forward and pressed a kiss on the elder male's lips. He thought he would pull away but he unexpectedly deepened the kiss. He rested his hands on the nape of the younger's neck and pulled him closer. He propped his small body up onto HyunSoo's lap and a passionate kiss ensued. Soft moans escaped the elder's lips when he pressed kisses on his neck and collarbone. MingGi reciprocated by attacking the younger's neck but he suddenly stopped him.

"Hyung... are you sober?" He asked.

The elder male was slightly stunned and got off his lap. His face turned from a peach pink to a tomato red. He immediately pulled the duvet over his head and buried himself in it out of embarrassment. HyunSoo's heart fluttered at just how adorable his Hyung was.

"Sleep well tonight Hyung." He teased then left the room.

He plopped onto his bed and he smiled in content. He kicked his feet in the air and hugged his pillow tightly. That night, he slept like a baby knowing that at least his feelings were not one sided after all.

The next morning, HyunSoo woke up to a heavenly aroma circulating around his house. He followed the scent and it brought him to the kitchen, where MingGi was cooking up a storm. He slid his arms around the smaller male's waist and rested his head in the crook of his neck.

"What are you making?" He asked with his hoarse morning voice.

"Seaweed soup and rolled omelet." The elder replied. "Go freshen up. It'll be ready soon."

The two boys then ate breakfast as they looked through the details of the competition that ChaeIn sent. After eating, MingGi quickly left to work on the story as he knew if he stayed at his apartment, they would be working on something else in bed.

The elder male dug through the depths of his mind in an attempt to come up with anything but it did not work. His mind was only clogged with the thoughts of last night. A smile crept onto his face and he stomped his feet onto the ground repeatedly as he squealed and buried his head into a stuffed toy. Then, a bell rang in his head.

"Love! I can write about romance! But...how?" He mumbled.

He whipped out his laptop and researched left and right. A couple hours in, a familiar story caught his eyes. Though he was hesitant, his hands worked faster than his mind and he ended up clicking on the blog. 

"Did you know that one of the last prince's of HwakGyeon Kingdom was actually homosexual? According to insiders, Crown Prince HyunWoo was in love with another male individual but his Father, the King then, ordered to kill his lover. The Prince fell into a deep depression and ended up taking his own life. Their story is nothing short of a tragedy but to date, there is little to no information to confirm this. Many believe that this was all covered up by the Royal family to protect their reputation but what do you guys think?" He read out loud.
