Is Your Heart Gucci? | BEOMJUN

58

When Beomgyu returned to Obeliav, he figured he would have been over joyed. Now, the circumstances are different.

There's a heavy feeling in the country today, and even more so now that he sits in the back of the limo with Yeonjun and Queen Eva.

The two hadn't said a word on the plane ride to now. The only communication being from the prince laying his head on Beomgyu's shoulder.

Eva wasn't even adorned in her usual gown and jewelery. Instead, she wore gray sweat pants and an oversized sized black shirt, her long hair pulled back into a low hair tie. Her casual outfit was disguised underneath an expensive black trench coat currently, but when Beomgyu saw her this morning, she looked more human than ever.

In turmoil.

Beomgyu looked out the window as the limo drives through the main street. They pass a large pile of flowers where everyone from all around was coming to pay respect, adding onto the pile.

He dares to look at Eva again, but the stare turns into a glance. No body looks as destroyed as her. Her eyes were puffy and face blotchy red. He's heard her cry plenty of times since the Kings passing, but as for seeing her cry..

His mind takes him back to that evening

-two days earlier-

Yeonjun and Beomgyu froze in confusion at first when they saw the flag being lowered, and then its lile something snaps, the prince begins a sprint towards the castle. It takes Beomgyu a few moments to realize what was happening before he runs after the prince.

The castle was large, of course, but Yeonjun felt like it took an eternity to get to the Kings hallway. Even if he wanted to think, his mind was a scattered mess. It's a surpised he managed to find his way without crashing into anything or making a wrong turn.

Beomgyu, on the other hand, couldn't get his mind to shut up. Less than 30 minutes ago, he was sitting on the bed with Damian. How could he be gone in 30 minutes? How could somebody be here and then not? This can't be true. There has to be a mistake. Maybe they just took down the flag for an annual cleaning. That's a thing, right?

Yeonjun had a head start, so he reached the Kings hallways first. It was already crowded with knights and doctors. There were hushed mumers and people scattering all over. Nobody had noticed him yet which gave him time to read the room.

It didn't look good, everyone looked worried. Everyone looked hopeless.

King Damians door opens and a man walks out. King Damians personal doctor. He talks to someone who he cant see due to them being too deep into the crowed.

"Time of death, 1:46pm" the doctors tells the person. The room falls into silence, and that's when the doctor looks over and is the first to notice Yeonjun. He bows to him; a bow meant only for the king. Everyone looks over now and they follow in suit. They bow to the King, they bow to Yeonjun. This is when Beomgyu finally reaches the kings hallways, but he halts a few feet away, processing what he walked into to, and everything that will happen next.

Then, Eva walks through the crowed. She was the one the doctor was speaking too. Her arms are crossed over her chest and it's obvious she's holding back tears. Hesitantly, she makes her way to stand in front of Yeonjun where she looks at him. The curve of his face, his plump lips and pale skin. Then her eyes land at the beauty mark under her eye. The same beauty mark that Damian has - that he had.

She uncrosses her arms and shakily puts them on his cheeks, her left thumb grazes the mark and she sees it.

She sees him.

"You... you have his face" no longer can she hold back her pain. She falls into the Princes' arms and let's out a gut-wrenching scream filled with loss. Her knees could no longer hold her, and she would have fell of it weren't for Yeonjun holding her.

-present day-

Beomgyu snaps back when the limo comes to a halt. Eva is putting on thick black sun glasses over her face, and Yeonjun is adjusting his tie.

They were parked outside of the royal church, which is currently surrounded by hoards of civilians and press wanting to get a glance at Eva and Yeonjun. Knights are lined shoulder to shoulder to make a safe pathway for Eva and Yeonjun to enter the church.

"You won't be able to go inside with us, the limo will take you to your parents' house," Yeonjun says to Beomgyu as he starts getting his things together.

"Are you two going to be okay?" Beomgyu asks outloud.

Eva looks stunned that she is being spoken to. She forces somewhat of a smile and nods her head, her shaking hands clutching down on her black handbag.

"We will be fine, we just have to start getting the funeral preparations started" yeonjun kisses Beomgyu on the side of the head.

The car door swings open

"BEST FRIEND!!! A-Ah Hello your majesty's" Huening Kai bows as he stands outside of the car.

"Kai?" Beomgyu raises a brow

"I couldn't send you off alone" Yeonjun winks at the photographer. Kai climbs over Yeonjun and squeezes himself in between the two to take his seat.

"My condolences" He smiles sadly to Eva and Yeonjun. Eva nods her head and Yeonjum smiles.

"Thank you Kai, it's always nice to see a familiar face" Yeonjun relinquished with a sigh

"Did you miss mine?" Soobin is next to make an appearance. Beomgyu feels his spirits perk up a bit. He hadn't known how much his two friends' presence would calm his nerves. For months, he was isolated with royalty. Slowly, he was reuniting with his people.

"Are you going to bow to me too?" Yeonjun jokes. Soobin rolls his eyes and turns to Eva.

"Your majesty, I'm so sorry we have to meet like this." he holds out his hand to help her out of the vehicle.

Eva had always had a soft spot for Soobin, and seeing him and feeling his genuine kindness let her breath a bit easier. She takes his hand and is helped out.

"I love you" Yeonjun says before stepping out, leaving the two best friends.

Beomgyu watches Yeonjun and Eva begin their walk and then the limo begins its parting. The drive is silent for a moment and in that moment Beomgyu feels a wave of emotions take over him.

He is happy to be home, to be reunited with his best friend and soon his family. At the same time he misses the castle- more so, the time he had there. Also, he misses King Damian, which is odd considering they had only had a handful of conversations.

"So how was it? Did you ever talk to the King?" Kai asks. Then it occurs to Beomgyu, that his best friend doesn't know - he doesn't know how much his short time there impacted him.

"Yeah" Beomgyu swallows the lump in his throat "i did"

"And then?"

Beomgyu looks out the window behind Kais head, the limo is once again passing the pile of flowers, it's size had grown since seeing it less than an hour ago. Then, he begins telling Kai everything.
