Castle of Lies [BTS FF]

WARNING: CHARACTER DEATH

''''''''''''''''''''

" Hyejin! NO! "  Hearts pounding in fear for each other. Lovers torn away from their grasp. Hands reaching out to touch. To hold, to cradle. But all attempts were futile as the guards jerked them away from each other, chaining them up and separating them. They knew that once they were caught it was over, but they couldn't help but wish to be in each other's arms just one more time.

'''''''''''''''''''''

Hoseok felt dead. Their plan to escape together from the royal castle had crumbled down and perished to nothing. He could still hear Hyejin screaming for him. Her voice scratchy and hoarse and he could guess that her eyes were red, big fat tears streaming down her beautiful face.

Hoseok tried to turn, but his body ached all over from the torturous beating the guards had given him. But he didn't care, he promised he would be strong for Hyejin, strong for their love. They had promised each other, that no matter what happened no matter who or what stopped them, they would always find a way back to each other.

The cage door rattled, as a guard kicked it open. Hoseok tried to look up but the bright light temporarly blinded him. He felt a pull on his shirt and he groaned out loud as he was  harshly yanked up to stand. Hoseok could feel his heart hammering onto his chest. He could easily run away, he was sharp, fast and agile, but he didn't. He stayed only for her, He stayed for Hyejin, his lover. He knew she would do the sane for him

Hoseok let out a cry as his bruised knees fell to the floor when he was forced to kneel. Looking up he saw Hyejin, the first thing he layed his eyes on in the throne room. The only thing that comforted him. Her hair was disheveld, clothes torn and dirt was  scattered against her face. Tears continuously falling from her blood red eyes. Though Hoseok still thought she looked beautiful. She was always beautiful in his eyes.

" Jung Hoseok. " Hoseok's gaze was snapped towards the front to look at the one man he loathed the most. Hyejin's father, the King of Omelas.

"  Jung Hoseok. The court jester, thought that he could run away with my one and only daughter, the princess of Omelas Kim Hyejin? Hah! What a joke! The court jester with a princess, you think this is some kind of fairytale? "

By now the king was standing in front of Hoseok. His hand gripped Hoseok's chin harshly, turning his face side to side. A look of disgust on his face. Hoseok could feel anger bubbling up in his chest. The King had always disliked him. For what he didn't know.

Before working in the castle, Hoseok had been a famous dancer in Omelas. Heck he was known to be the best of the best! He had toured many countries, met many Kings and Queens. He had won numerous awards. He was about to set up his first dance school when the palace troops has ordered for him to meet the King.

The king forced him to stop dancing to stop everything and to work in the castle. Of course like any human being, he refused to throw away his dignity. The next day Hoseok woke up to only find out that his one and only relative, his father was brutally tortured and killed by the king. The king then promised to do the same to his friends and that's when Hoseok caved in. He reluctantly agreed to be the court jester in order to protct the ones he loved and cared for. 

Hoseok was harshly brought into reality when he felt himself falling to the ground, a sharp sting on his face told him that the king had slapped him. Hoseok tried to get up again but instead let out a large groan of pain when he felt his body ache.
