The whole kingdom of Kouka all know about the red haired princess who's turning 16 soon, but do they know of the hidden prince behind the scenes watching all the drama unfold until he got dragged into it without no consent.
Tip-toeing through the hall, guards were shaking their heads in amusement,the man sneakily entered the chamber of the red haired princess. Opening the door discreetly , flinching at every noise he made, he put a gift at the foot of the bed. Walking backwards to leave, he didn't see a figure behind him sweat dropping at his antics.
Bumping into something, he looked behind him, none other than Hak looking down at him with judging eyes like 'What are you doing'. Hak grabbed the back of his shirt and dragged him out, not before closing the door.
"You know Itsuki, you've got to stop doing this every year, especially when it's one week before her birthday", Itsuki scratched the back of his head in bashfulness, was he that obvious?.
Realization struck him, hak grew much taller than when they last met, pointing it out he blurted out, "Hak, you grew much taller, I feel like a midget compared to you". Hak, hearing the bluntness to his words, snorted.
Hak stared down at the prince who's grumbling and mumbling about how do people grow so much every year, yet he only grew 1cm every 2 years. This is prince Itsuki of the Kouka kingdom, older brother of yona, age 19, birthday September 10, and 186cm(6'1").
Not many heard about his existence, only palace guards, yona, soo-won, emperor Il, and none other than hak know. But Itsuki has a huge secret, it could change this whole world if not used with caution.
Hak ruffled Itsuki's light brown hair, as he rambled on about how his shoes are starting to tear and how much he likes long hair. Hak had an indescribable feeling of seeing Itsuki, it brought pain to his heart. He also felt like this when soo-won was with yona but it didn't hurt this much.
Looking at the fake watch on his wrist, Itsuki exclaimed "Oh! Look at the time, gotta get going, see you tomorrow Hak!". Hak waved a see you later too, unbeknownst how much trouble he actually caused.
Closing the door to his room, he slid down the door, letting out a breath he unconsciously held in. Covering his face, he felt both embarrassed and happy he met hak. Embarrassed because he basically roasted himself in front of him, and happy that he's doing well.
Trying to stand up, he felt weak to the knees, no one had the slightest idea that Itsuki had a big crush on Hak since they were children.
Crawling into bed with shaking legs, he covered himself with layers of blankets. The probability of hak liking him is zero, crying he wished for the best for hak and yona.
Next morning
Yona woke up with a yawn and rubbed her eyes to take the sleep away, draping the covers off her she heard a knock on her door. Taking no notice of the present lying at the foot of her bed, until she stubbed her toe on the corner of her bed. Holding her foot in pain she looked up and saw a item wrapped up in the finest silk. She called out to the servant outside she'll be out in a second. Unwrapping it she looked at it in awe, a red jewel in the middle and a sliver band around it, with carvings that made it look like a red sun.
