Runaway Prince |Choi Beomgyu|

31

Beomgyu was getting a strong sense of Deja Vu as he was fixing the pillows and the sheets of the bed, but this time it was his bedroom instead of the small bedroom on the side quarters that he had stayed in with Luna.

She ran a hand through her hair as she walked around the room in curiosity.

Now she was truly seeing what his world looked like.

Her fingers ran over his bookshelf, all the books he had studied for his entire life are set in order of topics.

The room smelled like him, and his princely clothes were still in his bedroom sized closet, still neatly ironed.

"This is where I used to spend all of my time. Here and my library."

"You have your own library?"

Beomgyu hummed as he smiled a little. He moved towards the smallest window near his bed and opened the blinds a bit.

"And this is where I sat every few nights." Beomgyu almost whispered as he placed his cushions on the floor in front of the window and sat down. "Watching the bonfires."

Luna approached him, and sat down next to him, fixing her old-fashioned long nightgown, looking out of the window as well.

"You can almost see the whole village from here." She whispered in fascination as he leaned against his arms.

"I used to sit here for hours at dawn, just before my horse riding. I would watch as people would dance and sing, and how the fire would turn off after a while. And then after I got back here, I started noticing that one small light that was always still on. Luna's Earth."

Luna looked at him at the mention of her bar and stared at him in thought.

"So, my hours of being here got extended, I would stay until I saw people leave the bar, and the lights being turned off."

She softly leaned her head against his shoulder, and they stayed in silence for a while, until Beomgyu decided to break it.

"If you want to go back home, you should go. Don't worry about me. I've been here my whole life, it's nothing new." He said softly, staring out of the window still. "Staying here a month, will turn into nothing quickly. You won't even notice I'm gone."

"I will notice. I'll notice every time that you're not with me. I want to be here for you. Always next to you. I want you to lean on me, Beomgyu."

The prince looked at her in thought.

 In his mind, he was noticing how much care she had expressed, some that he had never heard from her before. But his heart felt so heavy, that somehow feeling that love and care from Luna only made him want to cry more.

"More than what I already do?" He joked quietly, and she lifted her head off his shoulder.

"I lean on you more than you lean on me. I want you to know that I'm always here. Not just to be cliche, but I genuinely am always here for you. I may not be the best at comforting and communicating. But I want to at least hold your hand and let you know everything will be fine." She muttered as she looked into his eyes, which watered as her hand gripped his.

Luna moved closer to him again and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. He pulled her onto his lap and hugged her even tighter against him, burying his face in her neck.

"I love you." Luna shyly whispered and Beomgyu smiled through his tears, kissing her cheek.

"I love you too, beautiful Luna."

Beomgyu kept his arm around Luna's waist as he tried to sleep. 

His sister was going to be back from her schooling the next day to be able go ahead into the processions of his father.
