16. Surprise

The alarm was ringing, like a siren blaring from outside. At least, that's how it sounded like to Beomgyu. He quickly reached out his hand, and turned the alarm off. Sitting up, he stretched his arms out and then started stretching his waist from side to side.

Left, right, left, ri- "Yeonjun!" On his right, sleeping peacefully, was Yeonjun. Not anymore though, after hearing Beomgyu saying his name. "I haven't had such a nice sleep in a while." Yeonjun was so calm, stretching his arms out and yawning.

Beomgyu just sat next to him, shocked. He didn't want to know, did they do anything last night? "Beomgyu, why do you look so shocked?" "How- how are you here! What happened last night!" Yeonjun smiled, laughing a little seeing Beomgyu so shocked, even though it was his idea in the first place.

"Don't you remember? You invited me in, because you thought it was too late for me to walk home." All of a sudden, a light bulb went off in Beomgyu's head. He remembered everything that happened last night, starting from his fall, to Yeonjun's confession, to them kissing, and finally, him inviting Yeonjun to stay the night.

"What was I thinking! My butler could come in any second now, you have to go!" Pushing Yeonjun out of the bed, Beomgyu quickly got up and looked for his famous makeshift ladder. Yeonjun just got up from the floor, laughing at Beomgyu's panicking.

Beomgyu found the makeshift ladder on his desk, and ushered Yeonjun over. "This is not the time to laugh, Yeonjun! Hurry up and go!" Beomgyu threw the ladder out of the window, and Yeonjun went onto the windowsill. 

Before he went down though, he looked Beomgyu in the eyes. "Can't I have one kiss before I go?" Yeonjun pouted his lips at Beomgyu. Beomgyu looked away, before quickly pecking Yeonjun's lips. "Now go!"

"Don't miss me too much. I'll see you soon, my love." Yeonjun smiled, grabbing onto the ladder and starting his journey to the ground. My love? MY LOVE?? Oh my god, Beomgyu was going crazy.

"Prince? It's time for breakfast." Like it was all already planned out, Hueningkai opened the door right as Yeonjun had made it to the ground. The only problem was, Beomgyu was still holding on to the makeshift ladder, which was clearly out the window.

"Uh- yes, Hueningkai. I'll be there soon!" Quickly sliding in front of the window, thanks to his socks on the slippery floor, Beomgyu covered up the ladder. Hueningkai closed the door, and Beomgyu was left alone in his room again.

Pulling the rope back up, Beomgyu put it back into one of his desk drawers and went to wash up in his bathroom. While brushing his teeth, Beomgyu realized something. He realized that Yeonjun was the only reason why he smiled nowadays. Nothing else in this world was capable of making him happy, even his parents, who decided to put him into an arranged marriage "for his own good".

He had only Yeonjun to lean on. No one else would be on his side when they found out he was with Choi Yeonjun, and no one would support his choice of not wanting to take the throne.

How would he get out of all of this in the end?
