Horrifying shouts and screams could be heard within the prince's compartment.
"Please just bear with this for a little longer, your highness."
"No! No no no! I think my leg is fine now, thank you very much!"
Minhyuk desperately tries to pry his foot away but the royal physician had a firm grip on his calve.
"Relax, alright? It wouldn't hurt as much I promise."
The physician applied a steady pressure on the swollen ankle, feeling out the bones beneath the tender red skin. A relief really, since it was only a mild fracture. It would hurt, of course, but at least it would heal much faster than if the prince had dislocated his ankle.
"Fortunately, it is just a minor fracture so it should heal in a few weeks. Remember to rest your feet well and avoid walking around much, your highness."
Slowly, he pulled the white garment back onto the prince's calves, leaving the injury with nothing more than a layer of ointment and a loose piece of cloth. Maybe that was why people in the olden days heal much faster. They don't cut off blood supply to the area with a goddamn thick wrapping of bandages.
Jooheon and Wonho had stayed outside the entire time. The atmosphere was kinda awkward, with them exchanging eye contact every now and then accompanied with the melodious squawking of a human male in the background. Jooheon was the first to break the silence. Silence that does not include the bgm.
"So uhm... what happened?"
"He sprained his ankle when he nearly fell into the pond."
The brunette merely shook his head.
"That airhead... He ought to be more careful. I've been reminding him time and time again but he never changes."
Wonho could see the despair on Jooheon's face that the said person did not even bother to hide. Well, you can't possibly help being a little more reckless, if your seven years of childhood consisted of you being kept locked up indoors, and even after you are allowed to explore you are being followed by tons of men who swarm you as a safety precaution. He is reckless, and he probably likes to be reckless.
The wooden doors gently creaked open. The limping prince holding onto the physician came as quite a view. Despite his furrowed brows and a trembling left hand that clutched onto the physician till his knuckles were white, that wide smile didn't fail to show up on his face. A true shining jade, a man who lived up to his name.
This one's strong.
Setbacks? They exist vividly at every point in his life.
Yet he continued forward.
ok but just saying I done some searching online for the meaning of 'minhyuk' and it says min (based on our minhyuk's name in this case means jade) and 'hyuk' (in general all hyuk-s means bright, luminous) so yea.
