Soowon X OC // Akatsuki no Yona

prologue

"Father!" The little boy with dark blond hair ran to his father with a large smile in his face. Yu-hon looked at his son and stretch out his arm gracefully

"Suwon, there's someone that I want you to meet" his father said to him as he looked at persons in front of him. His big sea green-blue eyes looked at priestess and the little girl in front of him. How come a priestess and this little girl stand before his father as his father is one of the people who drove them from castle. Curiosly, he stared at the beautiful little girl in front of him.

'Beautiful'

He stated for himself. He himself don't know what made him so fascinated for this little girl.

Maybe her hair and eyes that looks as black as the night sky without stars who stared at him with tenderness. Or maybe her skin that looks very soft and shining in the light. Or her flushed cheek that looks contrasted compared to her pale-white skin. But maybe things that make him so fascinated for this girl is her beautiful rossy lips that smile at him with so much honesty.

"Suwon, let me introduce you. This is the head priestess and the blessing child from awa. Starting from now this little blessing child will life in here, so please treat her well."

The little blessing child looked at him with awe and took 3 steps headed to suwon. She smile gracefully and bow at his presence.

"Greeting master, I'm Saika the blessing child that brought from Awa. From now on I assigned to be your personal attendant and also the head priestess in here. Please take care of me." Saika said as she bowed at him.

Suwon's shocked face was exposed as clean as the blue sky. He looked at his father as his father nodded at him with his natural face.

"Please, you don't need to bow at me Saika." He placed his small hands in her arm softly and smile at her.

"I won't looked at you as a servant, and I won't looked at you like we have a different caste. You just need to always be by my side and trust in me. Is that clear Saika?" He said with confidence as his eyes that looked at her looks so composed.

Her bright black eyes looked at him with impressed as the end of her lovely lips curved upwards.

"Oh! And please just call me Suwon. It's weird to be called formaly with someone who has a same age as me." He said and ending it with cute laugh and awkward smile.

Maybe the way he awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck as he crooked his neck to the side. Or maybe because his laugh contagious. But either way it made Saika laugh heartfully and smile brightly at Suwon.

"Okay, Suwon-sama! Please take care of me!" She said with a very bright smile. Her dazzling eyes forming a cresscent, her plump cheeks looked more rossy now, and her black hair shinning in the light.

'Wow.. how can someone looks so magnificent'

Suwon smile at Saika as he is not aware that his cheek become redder than ever and grab her little hands.

"Yes, please take care of me too, Saika!" He said and shake her hands gently.

Oh.. how they wish those beautiful days last longer, without anyone knowing there's some big storm will come.

"Zrashhhhh"

The sky crying violently, it feels like the sky also feel sad for the lost of the great man, the great hero, and a great father

Yu-hon

The funeral that held gracefully and wistful attended by some peronage, some soldier, some warior and by the king himself. Yona and Hak stand beside their friend who barely talked and just stared at his father cemetery with blank face. So, when everyone including Yona and Hak went back to their room he didn't said anything nor acknowledge their greetings. He just stand in that place, silently, without move any inch of his body.

The little girl who wear miko kimono just stared at him from the back, give him some time to pay respect to his lost father. The way his little back looked so burdened, the way he clenched his little hands tightly, the way he just stared at his father cemetery, the way he looked so lonely in the middle of those people before. She pay attention to it all, the way he scream in silent.

Silently she walked to his side, without saying anything nor looking at him she took his hand and held his hand firmly, as the way she said she will always be there for him. Those single movement knock down his last defenses from exposing his feeling to the world. He held back her little hand as his tears coming out from his eyes painfully.

"Huaaa hiks hiks.. aaaa" she rubbed the back of his hand with her little tumb.

"Father is gone, he's g-gone before I make h-him proud of me-e" he said between his sobbing. Saika just stand beside him, silently crying with him.

"I wa-want to make fa-father proud of me-e" he said it as his tears confirm his statement. His biggest desire that now looks as clear as his tears.

"I wi-will make my-my father proud!" He made those promise to his father. Saika wipe her tears quickly and looked at the cemetery with strong determination.

"I trust you Suwon-sama" she said and looked at boy beside him with gentle look. As the boy beside him look at her, searching for any lie or doubt on those sentence that he will never found. Saika tighten her grip on his hand and smile at him sincerely.

"I trust you, you will make your dad proud of you, you will be someone who people can rely on, you will make this kingdom reach it's glory, and you will see it by yourself that you should be proud of yourself."

She reach out her other hand, the hand that isn't being hold by Suwon, and rub his cheek gently, clean all his tears trail from his redden cheek.

Suwon just stand there carved all things that happend in his memory. The way Saika's puffy eyes looked at him with so much affection. The way her soft little finger rubbed his cheek and also the back of his hand with so much tenderness. The way her words inflame his spirit. The way his heart feels so warm. The way once again he remembered about how gratefull he is to have someone like her by his side.

Suwon looked at her with hesitate and look away from her eyes.

"And you will always be by my side?" He asked quietly and held her hand tighter. Saika just smile and release her hand from Suwon. Before he felt disappointed, she wraped her hand around his body and place her chin above his shoulder.

"And I will always be by your side. My body, my mind, my soul, I will always give it to you Suwon-sama." Saika said and stared at his eyes. She slowly tap his forehead to his and closed her eyes, still smiling.

'Ah..'

His heart beating faster and faster, his body temperature start rising slowly, and he placed his hand also wraping her little body.

"Just trust me, afterall I am the one who can see a glimmer of the future." She opened her eyes and looked at him with determination.

Suwon just stared at those dazzling eyes full of determination, full of life, full of trust, and all of those things fixed on him. He and him only.

'Ah.. seriously..'

"I trust you too, Saika." He said with a little cute smile and unwraping his hand from her little body. Her smile became brighter than before as her eyes became cresscent.

'I want to trasure you..'

She unwraping her hands from his body and once again held his hand. Suddenly, the rain stop and the moonlight shine upon then, shine upon Saika.

'I will protect you.'
