The Wrong Prince on the White Horse (Seventeen/Hoshi fanfic)

2.2| Dreaming

Hoshi P.O.V.

I knew this moment would come. The moment they'll get engaged, married, the moment he would kiss her... But I would never expect it would happen all right infront of me.

When the King came to Kyungmi's room I already saw she was unhappy. I can't believe she is going to be Seungcheol's future wife in just an hour. And all that for her country. 

After talking to her dad, she ran to me. She hugged me and started crying. That's when I knew it for sure. 'She loves you back...' I think. She starts to cry harder and I wrap my arms tightly around her, strokking her hair. She lifts up her head laughing when our friends suddenly start clapping. 'You idiots...' She laughs through her tears. Then she goes back to her room and I try my best to smile at her.

When the King came to pick her up she opened the door. 'She looks beautiful...' I think and I can't keep staring at her. The dress flows perfectly with her body and the color is just perfect and maches with her eyes. Seungkwan did his job well again. 'Just like always.'

'I can't believe my little daughter is going to get engaged.' the King says. 'Yeah, me neither...' She mumbles. I hear Wonwoo laughing behind me and seeing Kyungmi's face, she heard it too because she smiles a little.

~~~~~~~~~~

Seungcheol is holding a long, boring speech and I see Kyungmi is slowly losing her attention. Why doesn't he realise it? Her eyes keep wanting to meet mine but I turn my head, I don't wan to distract her.

'So, my dear Kyungmi, do you want to marry me?' I hear Seungcheol say. Deep inside me I hope she will say no but I know that if she does that, her father would kill her. Everyone is looking at her now. She takes a deep breath, sighs and says 'Yes...' She is not enthousiastic and I know she would rather say no but I still feel heartbroken, I wanna cry. 'How did I even get in this whole situation! I knew this would happen.' I think. Kyungmi turns around and searches for me but a lot of people stood up to clap for her, so she can't see me. The moment she sees me, I see Seungcheol saw me too. He smirks evil at me and the moment Kyungmi wants to walk towards me he grabs her wrist to turn her around. He glances one time at me before kissing her. The crowd is going crazy but I only feel hate. Hate and sadness. I see Kyungmi doesn't like the kiss at all and I'm mad at Seungcheol for still kissing her towards her sin. I turn around and run away before I start crying infront of everyone.

~~~~~~~~~~

Kyungmi is now a week engaged but she luckily didn't change so much. She is still her happy self. When I saw her the next day after the wedding she was a bit grumpy but she became happier soon. We're even going to meet again! It's funny hearing her talk all bad about Seungcheol even though she is engaged.

This evening I sat in my room because I've got a break from patrolling. Suddenly my friends come in.'What are you doing here guys?' I ask them. 'We wanted to know what happened between you and Kyungmi since you were quite off one's stroke last week. Jun told us something but he was very unclear about the whole situation.' Woozi says while looking blaming at Jun but he only laughs. 'Guys please...' I say. 'No please!' Woozi and the others say merciless. I try to keep my mouth shut but seeing Woozi's expression tells me I should just say it. They're my friends after all, I can trust them.

I tell them everything from beginning to end. All the time they listen quietly without saying a word. At the end of my story they look surprised. 'So you actually kissed her?' Mingyu asks carefully. 'Yes! I already said that!' I say irritated. 'But she does likes you back.' Jun says. 'How do you kow that for sure?' I ask him, playing dumb. 'Well, you saw her after her father said that she should get ready because she was gonna get engaged. She started to cry and hugged you.' He leans back in his chair next to the table with cookies as he takes one of them. 

'Yeah, but still... It doesn't prove that--' I start but Jun cuts me off. 'That's nonsense! She could've cried by everyone because her friends were inside and we were standing next to you but still, she chose you...' He says. 'And, she asked if you two could meet again so..., that's also a sign.' Wonwoo adds. The others nod in agreement. 'You should check on her now.' Mingyu says. 'Now?' I ask him. 'It's already late.' He shrugs. 'I think it's a good idea, just to be sure.' Woozi agrees. 'But you guys just were there? What needs to be checked?' I don't understand it. 'Shut up and just go!' they say laughing. 'Alright, alright... I'm going.' I say and I walk out leaing them behind.

Kyungmi P.O.V.

I'm laying in my bed, thinking. I'm engaged and I'm only 18 years old! This is crazy! I don't even love him! I just want to have a relationship with someone I actually love. Soonyoung...

Suddenly someone knocks on my door. I quickly pretend to be asleep. After a while the person enters the room and says 'Just what I thaught, she's asleep.' I immediately recognise him. It's Hoshi. Carefully he comes closer, kneeling next to my bed. He sighs deep. 'Hmm, you're even handsome when you're asleep.' He mumbles. It takes a lot of efford not to smile. 'Damn! I'm so madly in love with you! What is wrong with me! Ugh, I already asked myself that a thousand times.' I'm surprised by his sudden hard talking. He strokes my hair and I can't help but smile. 'You're cute, smiling in you're sleep.' He whispers when he notices it. 'Why does everything has to be so complicated.' He continues talking to himself. 'You know what, maybe it is better if you marry him. He is better for you and you deserve someone better that me. I'm just the guard and if a girl could choose between a Prince and a guard she would probably choose the Prince.' He laughs bitterly at himself and I feel a tear from him, falling onto my cheek. He quickly whipes it away gently. 'I know I've kissed you but maybe I shouldn't have done that, I'm actually really sure I shouldn't have done that. It will only make you confused about your feelings. I know you've said you don't love Seungcheol but I think it's the best for you.' I'm still laying with my eyes closed but after he said all of this I slowly start to cry. Without any sound and my eyes still closed stubborn.

'If you decide not to let go on me it's you're own choice, you know I'll be always there for you because I still love you. I guess you're dad will be mad at you so you'll probably be in great trouble. It's weird because I just realised I'm starting to get pretty crazy. A guard opening up his heart to the Princess who is asleep, you can't even hear me.' He laughs about himself again. Then he realises I'm crying. 'Poor Kyungmi, you're probably having a nightmare...' He says. 'Now we're both crying, although you're reasons might be a lot different from mine.' He stops stroking my hair and kisses me on my forehead. I grab his hand and still pretend to be asleep. He giggles and caresses my cheek. 'I still love you...' He whispers again. He takes  his hand back slowly and walks out closing the door quietly behind him. When I'm completely sure he's gone, I start to cry harder. Suddenly he opens the door again. He looks worried. I try quick to stop crying but my tears keep coming up. He kneels down next to my bed and puts this arm around me. 'Did you woke up from a nightmare?' He asks me. I decide to just play along with him so I nod. He pulls me into a hug while constantly whispering to me. 'I need him to know I really care about him.' I think. 

Meanwhile I can't stop jawning and my eyes are half closed, my head resting on his shoulder as I let my tears flow. I take a deep breath and I'm almost falling asleep again but I say 'Hoshi...' I stop to think about my words. 'What is it? Do you need something to drink? Tell me what I can do for you.' He says immediately. I chuckle, my eyeslids starting to feel really heavy now. Just spit the truth... I think.

'I love you...'
