ANGEL ☾ winwin one shots.

prince. [taewin]

lee taeyong.

that's the name of the king's first child, the name of the crown prince, the next in command after his own father. well-known for his excellence in virtue and knowledge, also very friendly with the people of his country.

he's very matured, wise and careful in making decisions. he's also a man of his words. his people and allies really respect him for that. but he has one secret that no one knows, not even his father, the one he's closest to.

the perfect crown prince is a gay man.

he's not straight at all, not even bisexual. he likes men. that's all. he thinks women are nice and loves them, but not in a romantic way. he looks up to them as his own mother, sister and friends.

he found out his sexuality when the kingdom got a new maid. he was twenty-one at that time. he walked around to find his mother, when he laid his eyes on a man who was walking with another maid.

he decided to find him. he asked about him at the maids, and the man turned out to be dong sicheng. it was love at the first sight. ever since then, they fell in love, but kept it as a secret.

but now since taeyong's twenty-four, the big problem had come. he had to get married as soon as possible. with a woman, to become his queen. and he's really against the idea.

" taeyong ."

his daydream bubble was popped and he turned to the voice. it was naerum, his little sister. they have a three years gap and they're the king and queen's only children, so they're close.

she found out about taeyong and sicheng a year ago. she supports them with all her heart, but of course she didn't tell anyone. taeyong's royalty could be at sake if anyone find out.

not only he's gay, but he's also in love with a maid from the palace. if his father finds out, he'll get kicked out for sure.

" naerum ." he managed a smile.

" about your marriage. papa has found some candidates. they're all princesses from wealthy kingdoms. but I think they have nothing on sicheng ." she said, matter-of-fact.

taeyong chuckled. he agreed with her, but what can he do. he knew that they would never get married. if they did, taeyong would have to leave the royal family. which isn't a problem to him, but sicheng told him that's a very bad idea.

" where's him ?"

" he was cleaning the kitchen. I think he would be done by now ."

the older nodded and left the royal library. naerum looked at her brother in sympathy and slowly sighed.

taeyong went to the kitchen when he saw sicheng chatting with other maids. he didn't want to disturb them, so he just sat there, waiting for his secret boyfriend.

" have you heard ?" a maid started. " the crown prince is getting married. I hope he'll marry someone he truly deserves ."

" she must be really beautiful then ." another maid added.

sicheng faked a smile and nodded. but taeyong could sense something was wrong. so he came into the kitchen anyways, which surprised the maids.

" y—your highness ." the maids immediately bowed, including sicheng.

taeyong looked at each of them with an intimidating glance. but his gaze softens when he saw sicheng. then, he spoke.

" shouldn't you all be doing your work ?"

" we... we're sorry, your highness ."

the maids were scared of his stern tone, but the younger man secretly liked it. it's very manly and dominant. it's making him flustered.
