Akatsuki no Yona (Yona of the Dawn) Oneshot Collection

Time Needed to Heal (Cheater!Kija x Fiancée!Reader x Sweet!Hak)

[I can't imagine Kija actually being so cruel, so he is a little ooc. Furthermore, I do not support cheating in any way. It wrecks a person more than people think. If you're interested in someone else, break it off with your significant other. No one deserves the feelings of worthlessness that comes with being cheated on. The characters are all precious babies that deserve the world <3]

You lifted your head up in surprise at the loud clamor that rose around you.

Outsiders?!

To say you were shocked would be an understatement. The protectors of the village didn't let anyone ever come in. Usually, anyone snooping around the borders were silenced upon contact or driven away. 

You spotted distinct red hair, and a tall man was with her, carrying what looked like to be a large weapon at his side. There was also a small boy with feathers adorning his hair, who seemed to be shouting at one of the villagers for keeping him in a cage.

Ah... so they are outsiders. Perhaps Hakuryuu will take care of them. 

You stared at the shining silver band on your ring finger. You had been engaged to Hakuryuu for almost a month, but neither of you were happy. There was no spark between the two of you. You had been friends when you were both children, but as time went on, it was apparent that the two of you would be just that, friends. Until the Elder decided otherwise, seeing as how you were the only girl Hakuryuu would tolerate being around. Since then, your bond had diminished into something akin to enemies.

You were miserable. 

He didn't treat you the best, but you didn't really blame him. After all, it's not like you ever said anything back to him, he was the village's most esteemed and treasured person, being the Hakuryuu and all.

You followed his form, watching his white hair flow out from behind him as he ran towards the outsiders, presumably to take care of the situation. Those outsiders probably wouldn't live long. 

Your eyes widened in concern as he collapsed on the ground, and you dropped what you were doing, speeding towards him.

"Hakuryuu-sama!"

You reached out to touch him, but jumped back when you made contact with his dragon arm; it was scalding hot! You winced in pain at the burn that was rapidly forming on your palm, and the outsiders looked at you in concern. Your attention was trained on the Hakuryuu, so you failed to notice the tall man's knitted eyebrows at your shrugging off your pain.

You reached out for him much more carefully this time, but Hakuryuu ignored you as he went straight to the red-haired girl's side. He called her master and your heart dropped to the pit of your stomach. Everyone in the village knew the legend of the four dragons and King Hiryuu, and it seems that this red-headed girl was the reincarnation of the red king. Hakuryuu talked animatedly with the girl, who introduced herself as Yona, and seemed very happy at his eagerness to serve her, but made clear that she wanted him as a friend, not a servant.

Hakuryuu happily obliged, offering himself up to her however she saw fit. As for you, you were dumbfounded. How someone could throw away their freedom was beyond your comprehension.

It was announced that they would be parting that day after a feast, and you were shocked.

He really was eager to accompany her...

Not that that surprised you. It was Hakuryuu after all. He seemed to live and die for the legend itself, and now that destiny had appeared right in front of him, he seemed all too ready to pick up and leave.

You sighed. It was apparent you would never understand it, but you could try. Clenching your hands into fists determinedly, you ran to Hakuryuu's room.
