Surrendering To You

Chapter2

Nobody knew why one day out of the blue Zhan decided to change his room from where he had lived ever since he was a child to the one he is living right now.Through his current room is very big compared to his last one.The was also very eye-catching. From his window he can see beautiful sunset and beautiful mountains. He can also see the full moon night from his window. Well for others the view was normal cause Yunmeng kingdom is heavenly beautiful.Yunmeng kingdom is also very well known for their beauty.But for Zahn the view was everything he could even ask for and more.

Past:

One afternoon, Zhan found himself wandering the corridors of the royal palace, his mind restless and his heart troubled. He had just finished his daily training, and though his body was tired, his thoughts were anything but calm. His feelings for General Yaun had become increasingly difficult to ignore, and the weight of his hidden affection had started to feel unbearable.

As he walked, Zhan passed by the rooms that housed his fellow princes. Each room offered different views of the palace grounds, and as he meandered through the halls, an idea began to take shape in his mind-a way to be closer to Idris, if only in spirit.

On impulse, Zhan decided to visit one of the unoccupied rooms in a different wing of the palace. It was a quieter area, away from the bustling heart of the castle, where fewer servants and guards patrolled. Zhan pushed open the door to one of the vacant chambers and stepped inside.

The room was similar in size and design to his own, with elegant furnishings and large windows that bathed the space in natural light. But it was the view that captivated Zhan. From the window, he could see the balcony of General Yaun's quarters, a small but significant detail that made Zhan's heart skip a beat.

Without hesitation, Zhan made up his mind. He would move into this room. The idea of being able to glimpse Yaun's, even from a distance, filled him with a sense of quiet excitement and a strange comfort.

Later that day, Zhan arranged for his belongings to be transferred to the new room. The servants were surprised by his sudden decision but did not question it. They swiftly and efficiently moved his possessions, and by evening, Zhan was settled into his new quarters.

Back to present :

As night fell, Zhan stood by the window, his gaze fixed on the balcony across the way. The faint glow of lanterns illuminated the stone terrace, but the space was empty, as Yaun was likely still occupied with his duties. Still, the thought that he might see Idris step out onto the balcony at any moment sent a thrill through Zhan.

He knew it was foolish-this silent longing, this secret desire-but he couldn't help himself. The view of Yaun's balcony felt like a small connection to the man he admired and cared for so deeply, even if that connection was only in his imagination.

Just as Zhan was about to turn away from the window, the door to the general's balcony opened. Zhan's breath caught in his throat as he saw Yaun step outside, his silhouette framed against the warm light from inside his room. Yaun seemed lost in thought as he leaned against the railing, gazing out over the palace grounds.

Zhan's heart raced as he watched, careful to stay hidden in the shadows of his own room. He knew Yaun couldn't see him, but just being this close, even unknowingly, filled Zhan with a bittersweet mixture of happiness and longing.

For a few minutes, Zhan allowed himself to simply watch Yaun, savoring this stolen moment of proximity. Then, with a soft sigh, Yaun turned and went back inside, closing the door to his balcony behind him.

Zhan remained at the window a little longer, feeling the lingering warmth of the moment before finally pulling the curtains closed. As he prepared for bed, Zhan couldn't help but smile to himself. This new room, with its view of Yaun's balcony, was a small but meaningful comfort in his life-a quiet secret he would cherish in the privacy of his heart.

"I choose to love you in silence,
because in silence I find no
rejection and In silence no
one owns you,but me."
