Yeonjun and Beomgyu were doomed. Beomgyu immediately slid in front of Yeonjun, acting like he wasn't just talking to someone. "Prince Beomgyu, the King is calling for you. It's time for dinner." "Uh- ah, yes, thank you, Hueningkai." "I hope you're being careful, Prince Beomgyu." With that, Hueningkai closed the door, not having anything else to say.

Based on that answer, it was obvious Hueningkai saw the guy sitting on his bed. What was Beomgyu supposed to do now? Was Hueningkai going to tell on him, or would he keep Beomgyu's secret safe. It was quiet in the room for awhile, neither Beomgyu nor Yeonjun knowing what to say.

"I think you should go now, Taehyun.." Beomgyu slowly turned around, all his happiness long gone. "Yeah, uh- thanks for inviting me, Beomgyu. Let's do this again sometime, just- not like this." Yeonjun said this all with a warm smile, not wanting Beomgyu to feel embarrassed about what happened. Beomgyu smiled too, and hugged Yeonjun for the last time.

"I'll miss you, Taehyun" Yeonjun just wanted to tell Beomgyu his real name, but knew it was for the best. "Me too."

*~*~*

After helping "Taehyun" leave quietly, Beomgyu made his way downstairs for dinner. He was already running late, and he didn't really have an appetite after what had happened. He still went though, because he knew his parents would be waiting for him.

"Mother and Father." Beomgyu bowed, putting his right hand around his waist. "Oh, how big you've grown Beomgyu. I'm so proud of you!" The Queen was always supportive of Beomgyu. Everything he did, she would praise him.

When Beomgyu was younger and his father would yell at him, his mother would comfort him. He always felt happy when his mother was around. "Sit, sit, me and your father have some things to talk about with you." Beomgyu sat down, across from his mother and father, an eerie silence between the three.

Beomgyu's mother noticed Beomgyu not eating, so she quickly ushered Beomgyu to start eating. "So, Beomgyu, how did you like your 18th birthday?" Of course, his mom broke the silence. The King would never voluntarily speak unless he needed to. "It was fine, I had fun you could say."

"Did you meet anyone that, maybe...caught your eye?" "What do you mean?" "Anyone there that maybe you'd want to be beside?" "What are you trying to say, mother?" "I just-"

"Beomgyu, we think it's the right time for you to get married." Putting his utensils down, Beomgyu's father spoke, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "Wha- but I just turned eighteen!" "Nonsense! I married your mother at sixteen. I think you're more than ready to get married." "But I-"

"Just imagine Beomgyu, when you're being crowned King, you'll have someone by your side while it's happening." "What if I don't wan-" "You have to Beomgyu, no more talking about this topic, it's settled."

Even though Beomgyu's mother looked a little uneasy, Beomgyu's father still continued. "We will find you a very nice princess who can be by your side during your coronation."

Beomgyu's life had just took a turn for the worse.
