Kingdom - Odehan✔️

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

The wedding day arrived swiftly, and the entire kingdom was in celebration. Hyeongjun found himself caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Jealousy welled up as he witnessed the man he loved marrying his sister, yet he was also filled with happiness knowing their escape plan was nearly ready. The prospect of living with Seungmin, getting married, and building a family filled him with joy.

While for most people, a wedding day is eagerly anticipated, Seungmin did not share the same excitement. That morning, he struggled to get up, wishing only to sleep and wake up the next day, escaping the complicated reality.

Seungmin stood before the altar, barely able to stand. The church door opened, and Yuna entered with her father, simply beautiful in a typical white wedding dress, slightly tousled hair elegantly gathered. Seungmin watched as she walked towards the altar with the familiar wedding song playing.

Yuna's father handed her over to Seungmin with affection, proud of his daughter. A smile appeared on Seungmin's face as he gently lifted the bride's veil; she immediately returned the smile.

Soft light illuminated the church atmosphere as the priest uttered sacred words, binding their lives in an indissoluble bond. Everyone applauded, including Hyeongjun, who, though not appearing happy, was engulfed by fear seeing the intimate glances between Yuna and Seungmin, fearing being forgotten.

After exchanging vows, Seungmin and Yuna swapped rings, tangible symbols of their mutual commitment. The altar was surrounded by the joy of the guests. The couple exited the church under a shower of rose petals. Yuna, ready to live her life with Seungmin, while he, as expected, had other plans.

After the church ceremony, guests gathered in the palace's main hall. The newlyweds entered shortly after, greeting and thanking everyone. Seungmin stopped in front of Hyeongjun, smiling lovingly, glanced around, winked, and left without saying a word.

Their escape plan would be ready soon, and after the honeymoon, they would finally run away. Hyeongjun, however, was scared. He didn't want to lose Seungmin and feared he might truly fall in love with his sister, leaving him alone. Seungmin, on the other hand, wasn't concerned about this. He was convinced of his love for men and saw Yuna only as a friend. Still, he was constantly anxious, not wanting Yuna or anyone else to discover their escape plan and envisioned all the possible grim scenarios.

Hyeongjun and Seungmin's fate hung by a thin thread, torn between the desire for freedom and the fear of consequences that could threaten their clandestine relationship.

The newlyweds embarked on their honeymoon, but Seungmin and Hyeongjun surrendered to each other one last time the night before departure. Their love filled the room; their bodies moved in synchrony, hands entwined, and the warmth they emanated warmed that chilly night. They would miss each other, but they knew that after a short time apart, they would have the rest of their lives to spend together.
