Glass Slipper // Meanie Couple

07

Mingyu pranced around in his bedroom like an idiot. He squealed like a teenage girl getting a letter from her crush. Except he wasn't a teenaged girl and his crush was a beautiful mysterious boy from the woods. "I want to see him again." He moped as he flopped onto his bed. "I understand your highness, however you've been saying that for the past hour!" His advisor complained. "Shush, you've never been in love before!" Cried the Prince. "Well no since the only thing i'll ever love is my mixtape." Vernon announced. Both of them burst into a laughing fit, they giggled like two little girls.

Vernon went over and plopped down onto Mingyu's bed. "You know Mingyu, If that guy really likes you back, he'll come to the ball." Said Vernon, reassuring his friend. "What if he doesn't? What if I scare him off with my sneezes?" Many negative thoughts started flowing into Mingyu's head. "Well then he isn't the right one for you," replied Vernon, giving him a pat on the back.

"Hey Vernon, for a guy who only cares about his mixtapes, you're really good at this thing called love," Mingyu giggled. "It's my job to advise you after all," he said sarcastically.

Mingyu was grateful to have Vernon as his advisor since they were close in age and Vernon being the 'foreigner' was very open minded and accepting. He also understood Mingyu's problem with being the Prince very well, having to also grow up in an environment where everyone was judgemental.

"Oh, and Mingyu, please learn how to control your sneezes. They do scare people away," Vernon stated, causing the latter to push him off of his bed. "I hate you," Mingyu chuckled.

The two young adults spent the rest of the night together, telling old stories from when they were young and new ones from their recent adventures. It was nostalgic for both of them, since Mingyu will be married soon, meaning he and Vernon would not be able to spend much time together anymore.

"You're not going to forget about me, are you Gyu?" Vernon asked, with a slight tremble in his voice. "No, I would never forget my best friend. Vernon, you're the only one who understands me. We grew up together so there's no chance I'll ever forget you. I mean you can move in with mystery boy and I and-"

"Okay okay I get it. Great, now I'm feeling sentimental and you're not evening getting married yet!" Vernon cried out.

Later that night while Mingyu was lying in bed, he started reflecting on his life. He was once an Orphan that was wanted by nobody. He had always dreamed of one day finding someone that would want him. However after he got adopted by King Seungcheol? and Queen Jeonghan, people left, right and centre began wanting him, but only because he was the Prince and nothing besides it. That was until today, when he met someone that would take him for who he really was. A boy who just wanted to be loved by someone for who he was. Not because of his good looks, money or status. The mystery boy would love him for him, and that was what Mingyu had always wanted in his life.
