The Birth of Silence [Yeowool - Hwarang]

6.

'Hansung, you're drunk. Why are you around here?'

Yeowool had finally found the boy, who suddenly disappeared after the alcohol test. Hansung immediately clinged onto him. 'Hyuuuung, where were you? It's so dark.'

'Then open your eyes.'

'Huh???..' He opened his eyes and giggled a bit. 'Oh, the sun went down.'

'C'mon I need to see of we're in the same dorm, where's your ticket?'

'Why aren't you drunk? Did you cheat?'

'Of course not, that liquor wasn't as strong.' Yeowool turned his friend around as he searched for the ticket. After a few seconds he found it.

'It's red.'

'What's your color, then?', Hansung asked, not being able to stand on his own feet properly.

'Grey..'

'Aaaaah, what a pity. What now?'

The elder grabbed him by the shoulders and just looked at him.

'Ah hyung~ when you look at me my heart starts jumping... You know? We actually should get married and have kids together once we leave Hwarang. We'd be a happy family for a veeeery long time!'

'Hansung, you're too drunk', Yeowool sighed. He was worried. He wanted to keep Hansung close and make sure nothing would happen to him, but now he can't even watch him at night. On one side he wished he could gaze at his face as he was sleeping, just to admire his beauty. On the other side he would know that Hansung was safe next to him.

That boy might be sharing his room with other violent men. Hansung was too vulnerable.

'First of all, we're men. We can't have children', Yeowool replied on Hansungs gibberish. 'Second of all, we're not even allowed to marry.'

'Then lets run away to a country faaar away from here, hyung. What if we make our own country with our own rules?'

'That can't be possible, unless I want to become a king.'

'Then become one, hyung! You'd be the coolest. Just remember to visit me daily.'

'Hansung...' They entered Hansungs room and Yeowool put him on the closest bed. 'You'd live with me if I were a king. I'd make our relationship acceptable.'

'D-did you just? Relationship??'

'Of course, we've been dating for a few months...?'

The boy started giggling as he rolled on the bed, grabbing the pillow and hugging it tightly.
'R-really? I can't believe it! You know? I've got a little confession for you.'

'What is it?'

'Come closer!', Hansung whispered, making the elder lean a bit more into him. Then, all of a sudden, the boy grabbed Yeowools face and kissed him.

'W-what?'

'I love you, hyung. Let's start a family together.'

'Hansungie.. Once again we're-'

'A couple! Ain't that fun? We can go on cute dates and travel to any place we want to see.'

Yeowool knew he shouldn't get confused because of all the things that came out of Hansungs mouth that night. His mind realized more things from that moment on. Yes, they were an actual couple. They had been for so long.

At some point the prince couldn't handle his secret anymore. On one of the days where he was allowed to leave the hwarang house he walked into the great hall of the palace, begging the queen to give him the position that made him powerful enough to rule. His goal: making sure he could be with Hansung without anyone else judging him for it.
