Chapter Twenty: Reunion

Dongju POV

The others are already asleep but for some reason Dongju can't fall asleep too. There is just too much running through his head. They still haven't found his family and to be honest he has already given up all hopes of seeing them again. His stomach growls. He stands up and leaves the room, hoping that he might find something to eat in the kitchen. He walks through the hallway. As he passes by the rooms in the hallway, he hears someone cry. The sound comes from the last room on right of the hallway. The last two doors are different than the other doors in the hallway. They are decorated with golden ornaments which makes Dongju assume that they belong to someone important. He remembers the incident from ealier when the prince bumped into him. He remembers what Hwanwoong said earlier about him: "The others mentioned that he has problems dealing with his parents illness."
Dongju wonders if he should go in. Maybe the prince just needs someone to talk to?
He decides to knock on the door. No one answers. He slowly opens the door. Someone lies in bed with the blanket over his head. "Hello? Sir?", Dongju says. "Who are you?", the sweet and calming voice of the prince asks. "I'm one of the travelers that arrived today. Your wizard probably already told you about us. We also bumped into each other earlier." "I'm sorry." "It's okay. Are you alright?" "Yeah.", the prince lies. Dongju walk towards the bed and sits down on the edge of it. "You can talk to me about it if you want." "My parents were poisened and will die soon. I'm supposed to become king soon but I don't feel ready for it. I don't know how to make important decisions or how to manage everything. I also know healing magic that could heal my parents but for some reason it doesn't work properly." "I also lost my family. We got seperated during the war in Doru. I fell off the horse in the desert during a sandstorm. I don't know where they are now. But you will learn how to do things on your own. It will be hard in the beginning but it will get better again. Besides you have your wizard who can help you and your friends who support you. The thing with the magic, I have that problem too. I can make a shield but no matter how hard I practice, it doesn't get bigger than the size of my hand. And the healing spell does seem to work a little bit at first but then the wound opens up again. My friend told me that if you have a trauma that you are holding onto, your spells don't work properly." "Well I lost my twin in a sand..." The prince abruptly stops in the middle of the sentence. He puts down the blanket a little bit so that he can take a look at Dongju. Dongju is so shook to see the same eyes as his staring back that he falls of the bed. "Dongju?", the prince shouts. Dongju just stares at his twin for a few seconds. He has very similar features but a different face shape and bigger lips with very characteristic mouth corners. Slowly the memories of his brother come back. "Dongmyeong?", he asks. The prince smiles brightly, pulls him into the bed and hugs him tightly.
"We thought you were dead.", his brother cries into his shoulder. "And I never thought that I would see you again."
They cry and hug each other for a few more minutes. Then Dongjus stomach growls again. "Hungry?", Dongmyeong asks. "Yeah." "Let's loot the kitchen."
They go to the kitchen take some chicken and rice with them and go back to the bedroom. They sit on the floor and eat while they each tell what they have been up to in all these years. After they finished the food, they sneak back to the kitchen and put the empty bowls on the counter. "Do want to sleep in my room tonight?", Dongmyeong asks. "I don't know. My friends might worry about me when they see that I'm not in my bed." "Well, you actually have to. Let's go to bed." His brother drags him to his room. He gives him one of his pajamas. Dongju gets changed and crawls into the big bed. Dongmyeong puts his arms around him. "It's just like when we were children. When we slept together in one bed all the time.", Dongmyeong says. "You always kicked me at night.", Dongju complains. His brother just laughs. "Can I also see mum and dad tomorrow?", Dongju asks. "Of course that is the first thing we will do after breakfast."
They fall asleep very quickly and cling to each other the whole night.
