A song of ice and fire

Chapter 25

Jeongin's pov
I sit by my father's side, I still have no updates about his condition or any news from King han about my uncle's situation...being left in the dark like this is killing me...
"your highness you should go and rest" my father's servant said, I looked at him before I nodded I still have hope that my father will wake up soon...
I throw one last glance at him before I walked out of the room.
All of us know about what happened with King lee too...it is like our parents are getting hurt one after another.
I took a deep breath walking toward my room, I was so lost inside my thoughts that I did not pay attention to where I was going until I crashed into someone making me stumble backward.
"I am..."I looked up about I apologize to whoever it was but I stopped when I was met with minho hyung...he had red eyes as if he was crying , his hair was all over the place...he looked like a mess.

"hyung...is your father okay?"I asked with wide eyes...seeing him like this made me think that something happened to king lee.
"he is fine jeongin" he said with a raspy voice.
"what is wrong with you"I asked confused from his state and hoarse voice.
"Nothing"he replied fixing his shirt, and that's when I saw his neck...it had a big red almost purple bruise.
"your neck...who did this?" I asked walking closer to check it.
"jeongin stop"he yelled taking me by surprise...I looked down not knowing what to say...I was just worried about him...someone hurt him, and the bruise was a hand shape as if someone...as if someone choked him.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you"he said with a calm voice.
"I am just worried... I am sorry hyung"I murmured.
"hey look at me...it is okay...i promise you I am fine"he answered making me look up.
"are you sure?"I asked biting my lips.
"I am" he said with a nod...I don't believe him something surely happened but since he doesn't want to talk about it I can't force him.
"my father is awake btw"he said making my eyes widen."you can say he is all healed now"he added.
"really I am happy for you"I said with a wide smile at least one of our fathers is doing fine.
"thank you"he replied, his father is fine then why is he sad?

I wanted to ask him about it but clearly he won't answer me.
"jeongin"he said cutting my thoughts" don't tell anyone about what you saw are we clear?"he said his voice coming out with a threatening tone.
I gulped before I nodded" we are" I replied.
"nice...good night," he said walking away...that was weird...what happened exactly to make him want to hide it...
I took a deep breath resuming my walk but I changed my mind about going to my room instead I walked toward seungmin's room.
There is no students outside of the rooms since most of them are in their rooms at this hour...it is already 11 pm I just hope he is not asleep yet.

I did not come here before since I had my own wing with the royals and seungmin hyung was always the one who visited me.
I stood in front of the door before I gently knocked waiting for an answer...i really hope he is awake...i need him.
Suddenly the door was opened revealing his roommate tae something...i still don't like him one bit.
"prince yang...seungminie is in the shower come in"he said mentioning for me to enter.
"he told you about us?"I asked entering the room, I have informed our friends and the royal families about our relationship but not the rest of the students...i think they know...i don't care anyway
"yes he did...i am happy for you"he said with a wide smile.

"just to tell you...he is mine"I said glaring at him his eyes widened before he throw his hands in the air"I can assure you, your highness seungmin is just a friend for me"he said making me hum.
"it is better to be that way"I nodded my head.
"I swear...i like someone else"he yelled sounding panicked.
"really who?"I asked raising my eyebrow.
"I...well...he..."he stretched his hair.
"calm down...i believe that you consider seungmin as a friend...i just wanted to make sure that you stay that way"I said taking a seat on the couch.
"don't worry...as I said I like someone...but I am too coward to tell him"he said sitting down on the opposite chair.
"aren't you supposed to be brave you know considering that you are a fire bender"I said making him sighed.
"I am half fire bender plus those are just some messed up stereotypes"he answered
"that's true"I said nodding
"who is he?....the boy you like"I asked with a raised brow.
