A crown or this? | minsung

🌙after a while

Jisung was scratching his throat nervously and felt like falling, he didn't understand why Felix's words had gotten to him so much. Hyunjin carried him all the way out of the room and into long hallways that felt like miles.

"I need air." He grabbed his throat and Hyunjin nodded.

"Just hold on a little longer." He whispered and they made it outside, close to the stables. He took a big breath and calmed down slightly, but he still felt so sick to his stomach. Did Minho really only use him for his body? It couldn't be true.

"Can we go to the water?" He asked weakly, falling over on the side but Hyunjin held him still.

"Listen...it's been a long night, for both of us, let's get some rest instead"

"No, I want to go to the water, please, it's an order." he closed his eyes and Hyunjin sighed.

"Fine...And I meant to ask you...your name?"

"My...name?"

"You still haven't given it to me"

"It's jisung..." he said and went to the horses with barely any legs to hold him.

"Jisung as in the...prince of the sun lands..."

"Yes" Jisung looked at him and Hyunjin smiled.

"And I'm an idiot for not asking sooner" he chuckled lowly and looked at his blond hair.

"No...I admire that quality from the north, you treat everyone equally, no matter their ranks. Now come along, I want to see the water"

"Of course your majesty" Hyunjin said in a teasing way and Jisung glared his way.

"Refrain from calling me that ever again"

"Yes, your highness"

Jisung gave him a last look and the other smiled at him.

"You're no fun to tease, now come on high lord we've got a lake to go jump into" he took Jisung by the waist and lifted him on his horse like he weighted nothing more then a feather.

<3

"Where could he possibly be?" Minho and Felix had searched all over the castle in a hurry, not a single word being spoken between the two of them.

They went to the stables and the older one of the two sighed.

"His horse is still here..."

"But Hyunjin's isn't...they probably took it together" he said with a few tears streaming down his face.

"I know where they went then, come with me, we'll take my horse"

"Alright..."

"But first." Minho said and stopped to block Felix's way. "You're going to tell me what all of this is about. This new boy I've never heard of, why you're acting so strange with me...tell me"

"I can't..."

"Why? Why can't you tell me what's wrong?"

"You're the person I always go for advice, the one I trust the most, but I can't ask you for this...not this time"

"Felix I've known you for as long as I can remember, please tell me, I can't lose you because we couldn't talk something out"

"I...loved you...Minho" Felix said and Minho tilted his head.

"I love you two Felix-"

"No. Not like I did, you never saw me that way and I can't blame anyone else but myself for that. I never told you because I know you'd stop going to me...I kept it for years." He admitted and cried even more.

"Felix..."

"I held it until the very end and now...now that Hyunjin came along it's so hard...how can I bury the feelings I had for you after so long like it was nothing. He expects me to get over it quickly but I can't...I still care for you so much even if I don't want you in a romantic way anymore...I don't know if I'm making sense"

"You are...it's alright" he took him close to his chest and Felix cried against him.

"I don't know how to explain this to him...I still want you in my life Minho...I still don't understand my feelings with all of this but, I'm not letting you go anywhere"

"Of course...I'd never let us fall apart...and I'm glad you found someone for you, he seems really nice"

"He's the best, I don't deserve all the love he gives me."

"Never think that, you deserve so much love lixie, more then I could've given you..."

"Thank you..." he buried his face and Minho smiled, kissing his soft hair.

"I won't force you to be friends with jisung, but you need to speak with the tall boy with him."

"Yes, I will" he managed to smile.

"What's his name?"

"Hyunjin...he's my...lover" Felix smiled even more as he cried at the same time.

"Alright...let's go then"

<3

The sun was setting already and Jisung was already in the water, he had kept his pants on and Hyunjin was making sure he wasn't falling or becoming pale.

"Why don't you join in?" Jisung asked and flipped his blond hair up, it looked golden when it was drenched with water.

"I want to keep an eye on you"

"I feel better now, come join me"

"You do understand how it will look right? I don't want to get in trouble" Hyunjin said and looked at Jisung's stone expression.

"And I thought you were gonna be fun..." Jisung said and turned around, which seemed to change something in Hyunjin.

"Alright...your majesty I suggest you move aside" Hyunjin took his shirt off and tossed it aside.

"I told you not to call me that-" the older jumped in the water next to Jisung and he went under the water. They both went back to the surface and Hyunjin laughed, the other smiling slightly and shoving water on his face.

They fought for a while more, shoving water in every direction. They soon heard footsteps coming their way and stopped what they were doing.

Minho and Felix arrived on a horse and quickly got off to look at them in the body of water, hair messy and soaked. Jisung sort of stepped back into the water when he saw Minho.

"Jisung..."
