kai couldn't breathe properly after the run with soobin. even if they were just sitting underneath a treee resting, he still couldn't breathe. he doesn't know if it's the tightness of his binder, or if it's his exhaustion kicking in.

soobin seemed to have noticed, and frowned, “is it the binder, kai-ya? i'm sorry that i made you run, i forgot..”

kai looks at him, expression turning into one of reassurance as he giggles softly and waves his hand, “oh, no, it's okay, hyung! i chose to run, and i know that i make it too tight..”

“can i help?” soobin asked, his eyes showing genuine care, and kai's heart beat erratically at this.

kai shook his head, cheeks flushing slightly, “o-oh, it's fine, soobin hyung. really, it is. thank you for your kindness though.”

he giggles and he stand up, stretching as he grabs soobin's jug of water and drinks from it, not caring if soobin would chastise him later. soobin's soft for kai and kai knows it and uses it to his advantage.

he puts it down the jug and looks at soobin who was also drinking aferwards, “hey, hyung. do you have any idea where beomgyu hyung would go to? i mean, he used his curtain as an escape tactic, but where?”

the forest was the only thing they heard for a few seconds before the older knight responded.

“well, the only logical thing is the forests around here. but efaeryn has a lot of forests, and we must rule out all the forests that are too far from the palace. you know how he hates faraway places.”

that was true. once, they visited the neighboring kingdom of deyamour for a meeting on the topic of their alliance. the kingdom was situated on top of a mountain and beomgyu couldn't contain his impatience. kai sighs as he remembers that day.

kai sits back down and frowns.

“if we manage to find beomgyu hyung, what would we do to him? should we get him back or let him be?”

“but if we let him be, the king and queen would get mad at us since we're both in the high ranks of knighthood,” his hyung replied, motioning kai to turn around and helps him remove his upper armor in order to fix his binder and remove his corset.

oh, that's another factor that they had to consider. those two. kai breathes in and exhales after the process.

kai felt stressed at this moment. this is one of the reasons he hesitated when he became beomgyu's aide: the king and queen.

the two are overprotective — with his father being the one who hovers the most — at best, and they would do anything to make their son safe. and if someone manages to have the guts to tell them that beomgyu escapes undetected, then they would do a large-scale manhunt, even if he just escaped to go to a friend's house.

kai adjusts his binder from the front and made sure that he could breathe before soobin helps him with his armor.

“can't there just be a day where we all rest? perhaps all of us knights and beomgyu would go to the free belltower and rent out their inn and drink everything there. doesn't it sound heavenly?”

soobin chuckles softly, shaking his head fondly as he stretches, too, before he went to his horse and mounted him.

“the free belltower? isn't that the tavern where mamamoo usually performs in?” he asked, adjusting the reins of his horse. kai nods, going to his horse to do the same.

he hums softly, “yeah. and we're all going to celebrate yongsun noona's birthday, too. we should go there sometime, i think the their drinks are good, too.”

soobin looks at kai as the horse walked to his side, and smiles his dimpled smile.

“that's nice.”
