"Jisung! Are you okay?! Are you hurt anywhere?! Are-" The moment Jisung entered the throne room, the queen immediately rushes towards him, pulling him into a tight embrace before pulling back a bit, cupping his cheeks and tilting his face left and right to scan him for injuries.

"I'm fine your highness" Jisung says with a small smile making the queen sigh with relief. Minho, Felix, Changbin and the King simply stood by the side as they watched the whole scenario unfold.

Meanwhile, Hyunjin was simply laying in bed, staring at the ceiling as he waited for news of your return, hopefully with his cousin and with everyone unharmed.

The moment he heard a knock on the door, he immediately ran out of his room and burst through the double doors of the throne room, eyes darting around as he searched for you.

"Oh, Hyunjin what's the matter?" His mom asks, breaking away from her embrace with Jisung.

Hyunjin scans the room once again with a panicked gaze, ignoring his mother for a moment. But when his eyes land on Jisung, only then does he remember formalities.

"Nothing's wrong mother... and Jisung It's good to see that you're okay" After Hyunjin quickly speaks, his eyes search for you once again. When he finally acknowledges the fact that you're not in the room, he lets out a frustrated sigh.

'Fuck royal status'

"Where is she?" His asks.

The whole room falls into silence.

"Where. Is. She?" He repeats his question, this time with his eyes on Jisung. And look on the latter's face is enough to tell Hyunjin where you are. 

"Fuck" 

The room is tense and Hyunjin curses under his breath before running out of the throne room to look for you. The moment he does, everyone releases a breath that they didn't know they were holding.

Hyunjin didn't think that he could ever run that fast in his life but in a few minutes, he was already bursting through the doors of the clinic. The moment he's in, his eyes lock with Woojin for a split second before he heads towards the first room that he sees.

"Whoah, whoah, slow down!" Nayeon  steps out of the counter and blocks Hyunjin before the guy could enter the room. "Jihyo's patching her up right now!"

"Is she awake? How severe are her injuries? How many days before she's fully healed? What happe-"

"-Hyunjin slow dow-" The sound of the door opening cuts Nayeon off and she and Hyunjin turn their attention to the woman who just exited the room. Jihyo immediately bowed to the prince before turning her attention to Nayeon.

"We need to talk"

"Will she be okay?!" Hyunjin interrupts. He knew that he was rude to do, but at the moment, he could care less. 

He didn't care if the world hated him. As long as you were okay then he'd be fine. He knew that it was selfish of him to think that way and always put aside important matters for you but he couldn't help himself. You were one of the most important things to him even though he never admitted it.

Jihyo stares at the prince for a few seconds before flashing him a small smile, muttering "She'll be up in a few days" 

"Why don't you go check on her" "I can do that?" Hyunjin asks with a child like aura before running in your room, acting like a kid who was given candy.

Once Jihyo hears the the door to your room close, she gestures for Nayeon to head towards the entrance of the clinic, further from the room where you were resting in.

"Be honest with me Jihyo, I saw how severe her injuries were when they rushed her in. So how is she?"

Jihyo glances at the entrance of your room, her thoughts trailing to Hyunjin and the pity she felt for the kid.

"Honestly, it was a miracle that she's even alive, if they brought her back even a second later she... she wouldn't have made it" Jihyo says regretfully.

"So there's a possibility that she won't wake up?" Nayeon asks.

"Yes"

"Why is everyone a liar in this kingdom" Hyunjin mutters, slowly closing the door and leaning against it as Jihyo's and Nayeon's conversation repeats in his head. He was just about to head out to ask a few questions about your condition and the severity of your injuries when he overheard their conversation.

Little Hyunjin knelt in front of your bed, head resting on top of his hands which were on the edge of the mattress. His eyes started to close as sleepiness took over his system but he forced himself to stay awake so that if ever you woke up, he'd be there for you. Just then, the door opened.

"Oh, Prince Hyunjin, you scared me!" A voice says and Hyunjin turns his sleepy head towards the voice. "Hello Sir Song" His little voice says.

Your father picks Hyunjin up and cradles him in his arms. "You know you can't keep coming here at night right? You're a growing boy who needs sleep. Besides your mother would kill me" He adds jokingly.

Hyunjin wasn't amused though.

"Will y/n be okay?" He asked with yawn as he stared at your bandaged body.

"Of course she will Hyunjin! She's my daughter after all" Your dad said before putting Hyunjin back on the ground. Hyunjin stared at your father for a few seconds, unconvinced. Maybe it was just Hyunjin but your father's smile seemed lopsided.

"It's time to go to bed prince Hyunjin" Your father said, not wanting to prolong his conversation with the prince because a part of him knew that Hyunjin was a smart kid and he could see right through his lie.

"Just five more minutes" Hyunjin whined before heading back to your bedside. "Fine" Your father said, masking his worry for you with amusement  for Hyunjin.

"Will she really be okay?" Changbin asked from outside after he peaked in the room as your father exited it. Sir Song glanced at Hyunjin who had already fallen asleep by your bedside before lightly closing the door and turning to face his apprentice.

"Honestly, I don't know" He answered with a heavy heart. Changbin frowned. "She's a pretty strong girl sir Song, I'm sure she'll be okay"

Hyunjin's eyes went wide and he slowly pulled his hand away from the door knob that he was just about to turn.

He glanced back at your sleeping form before walking over to you and slamming his little fist on the mattress. "You're an idiot y/n!" He whisper screamed as tears flowed down his cheeks.

*

"You haven't change a bit, have you?" Hyunjin asked you with a scoff as he leaned against the wall parallel to your bed. "You're an idiot y/n. A fucking idiot! You just have to be all heroic don't you?" He rants, even kicking the leg of your bed.

As Hyunjin stared at your sleeping form a part of him wished that it was just some prank. That in any moment you would wake up and curse at him for calling you an idiot. 

"Come on y/n, joke's over, wake up now"

Silence filled the air after that and Hyunjin cursed under his breath, burying his face in his hands before running his fingers through his hair in frustration. 

"please wake up" He whispered, tears building up in his eyes as he stared at you.

Hyunjin blinked his tears away.
Then he waited.

At that point he didn't know what he was waiting for.
Whether if it was for you to wake up or for a sign that you're fine to appear.

But he waited.

And as he did, he couldn't help but scoff at how pathetic he probably seemed.

"Why do you always make my heart hurt y/n?"
