What does it take to become a flower knight for the royal family of Hwarang? Not much really. Kim Hyunwoo is the main character of this story being the Maknae of the flower boys. (Lol. He is comic relief in the series.)Hyunwoo ventures onto his new duty to become a flower knight.While he ventures out on his journey,he meets a person by the name of Min Soongi. Min Soongi,then proceeds to tell Kim Hyunwoo that the royal family is hiding secrets from him,that she knows.(Author Nim: Min Soongi is too trusting. She will even tell complete strangers her secrets,if she sees that they are worthy,holding the capability to keep them a secret. Apparently,Kim Hyunwoo is one other to her. -_- ) Soongi tells him that there are secrets that the royal family is hiding from all of their flower knights and the government. Will Kim Hyunwoo find out the dark secrets that the royal family is hiding? Found out in...... HWARANG:THE FLOWER KNIGHTS. Rated:PG-13 (BL coming soon!) ⚠️ There will be relations between males in the future of this book!(If you don't like same gender situations,this is not for you.) *Edit: Hyunwoo cussing at this mom in a sexual way,is related to show realism,like what I did to my mom,when he was younger. Capps is used to show that the character is is in intense anger or really insanely pissed off. #Wattys2017 Bonus: I will soon be making an animation of my story. ^^ *NOTE: I update mostly 1-2 times a week. (Author Nim,out! ) ^^ Find my book type in "hwarang" and look under the 2 tags(together at the same time). #taehyung #kdrama It's really works to find my book.

*Book 1 in the Chronicles of Orelon* Have you ever felt like you don't belong? Are you an outcast - a loner no matter how many times you move and get a fresh start? Do you get constantly stared at like you're the star attraction at a freak circus show? No? Well I congratulate you for that. Why do I ask?..... Maybe it's because I can't help but wonder why I'm so different from everyone else. Why I'm....Unusual. Why everyone avoids me like I have the flue. Why they watch me constantly with their questioning gazes. Why they sometimes even act afraid of me. But I can't blame them, if I was in their position I'd probably be the same. I guess, it's because they can't help it. It's only natural.... To be afraid of the Unknown. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Sixteen year-old Callon Bates is what you might call - the mysterious kid always sitting at the back of the class.
