The General Son and the Bodyguard
The Crown Prince Jaejoong keep trying to ensure his bodyguard that everything is 'going to be okay', 'that he is used to this'. And judging from the way he keep continuing his tirade of explanation, he must have no idea of what YunHo is thinking at the time those information escaped the Prince's lips. A full capital of 'WHAT?' is the only respond YunHo had in his mind as he stare wide eyed to the Prince before him, still petuliantly trying to persuade YunHo into giving in. The idea itself is too absurb and adding with the fact that his Highness have done it several time succesfully making YunHo even more apparent on not doing it.
Even as his Highnes has done all the preparation, and even also prepared everything for YunHo for this certain thing, YunHo still did not relent on doing whatever his Highness have planned to do.
After what seemed like half an hour on Jaejoong practically whining and YunHo practically begging for his Highness to 'think it again' and 'it is not a wise decision, please your highness' did finaly Jaejoong explode.
He put his index finger right in front of YunHo eyes, staring as icy as he cant under the ragged breath from their earlier bantering. His face scrunched up as he tip-toed on his feet, trying to look menacingly at the taller bodyguard "Because you are my personal bodyguard, that is why I told you about this. I never told anybody about this, so if somebody else know I will know who is the culpirt are and I wont forgive you easily for that." YunHo was taken aback for a moment. His heart rejoice for the fact that his Highness has regarded him that high to share the secret that he havent shared to anyone but in another way, he is almost scared to the dead knowing that by not letting anyone know what the Crown Prince have done, it will mean that the Crown Prince was never protected everytime he done this.
Its a mere miracle and the fact that not many people actually know to put a face on the nation Crown Prince is what keeping any harm out of his Highness way, and YunHo sure pray for God to always keep it that way. "But your Highness, please do consider the dan-" "Thats it!" Jaejoong abruptly turned away from him with a scowl on his face. He take a few step forward, walking away from the shocked bodyguard who quickly catch up to block the Crown Prince way by standing in front of him. He lower his head in respect before saying the word he never wish to say. " I'm sorry your Highness, but I cant let you go.."
Jaejoong pouted, really pouted, His red cheery lips jutting out as only his eyes was leveled to YunHo, he shoved YunHo and with a permanent frown on his lips, he threathen the helpless bodyguard "You either follow me, or I will not allow you to accompany me, ever again!" Jaejoong stomped his feet, ready to flew away with or without the evasperated bodyguard calling him pleadingly.
The minute his Highness have called him to his private quarter and shoving him what he could say as a 'fine replica of commoners clothes' earlier this morning just before their first ever argument, YunHo immidiately fell a dread creep out from his guts. Now, with the said his Highness running out of the safety of their Palace with the same mentioned clothing making it even ten thousand more dreadfull than his earlier feeling. This is also added by the fact that the Crown Prince did not share the same sentiment he has, now is happily -dare he say- gigling as they are making way throughout the secreat ancient passageway which actually designated for the royal family to escape if such time is needed.
YunHo is debating whether he should memorized their route or not, considering that this is not something that he is supposed to know. Adding him to the quotation of such secret information, even himself did not think that will be a very good idea. However, to the safety of the Price currently leading him- too trusting- in front, YunHo tried his best to only memorize their way and disregard any other route he found on his way. He might needed this one way or another, giving their condition now.
Today, his highness has decided to share his 'sneaking out of Palace to the main city pretending to be commoner' routine.
Once they are coming closer to the main city, the Crown Prince halted their movement and asseses his bodyguard again. "YunHo" he called, not something that he do often by the way his mouth stumbling to pronounce it, blushing a little before straightening his posture, Jaejoong once again began, "once we arrived in the city, you cannot call me your highness, prince or anything. I supposed you know why, so, you should address me as my name" "wha-"
"No" Jaejoong stopped YunHo, placing his hand in front of the bodyguard lips. "In this city my name is Kyung Tak, I am a second adopted son of the Mayor" He finished then release his hand from YunHo lips "but Your Highness" "Kyung Tak." Jaejoong cut him again.
His higness hold his bodyguard faces in between his hand, forcing them to stare at each other before repeating each sylable clear "Kyung. Tak" After making sure that YunHo have clearly hear him, Jaejoong continue "now repeat that in front of me" YunHo mouthed his protest but Jaejoong simply shake his head with a 'nu-uh' then waited again until YunHo pronounce the word shakily "Kyun..g Tak" . The effort however, got rewarded with a very beautifull smile that even leave YunHo dazzled. "Good, now say Jaejoong" the Crown Prince continue. "uh..?" YunHo whose attention still focused on the plump lips currently smiling beautifully at him could feel his mouth moving accordingly before he snapped out of it stupor " there is no way I could possibly..!" He stutter as Jaejoong released his hold with a sigh, silently dissapointed on his unsucesfull act.
As they got near the market, YunHo actually wonder how much the Crown Prince have sneaked out of the Palcace and his revelation is strickingly frigthening as almost everyone there know him, and they actually believe in his somewhat 'second son of the Mayor' background. YunHo can not help but lament that The Crown Prince Jaejoong -Kyung Tak- he remind himself, is someone who is restricted toward himself, but didnt afraid to share a laughter or two with the eldery. He is still the same Crown Prince, but he shine even brighter between the people, his people, than sitting in his royal throne, alone.
"I have never wanted to be a king.." Prince Jaejoong spoke as they make their way on the street. He did not look at YunHo and keep walking ahead of his bodyguard as they keep walking "its the Emperor duty to protect its people, but then he will be locked inside of the castle.. how can he know what his people need?" His highness stopped his feet once they make it to the center of the town. " I want to be able to meet all of the people" Jaejoong spoke, his voice resonated between the chatter of the townsfolk, "I want to listen to their stories and worries.. with that then I could make a better decision for this country.." Jaejoong looked at YunHo. They are locked in each other stare long before the Prince smile a little and step closer to YunHo. He whisper his dream, secret wishes that he hope the other man could understand." Rather than becoming the King, I wanted more to become the person that 'the King' could trust, I want to be able to see with my own eyes what happen to this country, and because I am the one who see it, no one will be able to deceive the King... of I believe JunSu is capable for.." Jaejoong words echoing in YunHo ears. It sound ridiculous, but true, crystal clear of like the color of Jaejoong eyes.. But there is so many loophole inside of it that YunHo wonder why he stood there believing the Prince words, believing that it will happen.
Jaejoong give him a small smile after that, leaving behind some hinted meaning on those smile. However YunHo can not dwell on it too much as a movement from his peripheral vision caught his eyes. He charged as fast as he can to the body that move forward unto his Highness. He caught the attacker hand and immediately twist it, knowing quickly what kind of person he is dealing. The other hand caught his Crown Prince waist taking the lithle body in his own protection.
The bodyguard glared hard at the owner of the hand, he hissed a warning " refrain yourself from any action, young lady" every word spurt menacingly from his mouth. The young lady-girl- stood wide eyed, in fear probably, at the action from the bodyguard. Her eyes darted to Jaejoong form which were secured in the bodyguard embrace. "Kyung Tak shii...?" she inquired.
The supposed mayor son quickly recognized the voice calling him, strugling a bit to move his head to face the young lady. "Young Rae?" Jaejoog eyes widen upon seeing his bodyguard holding the lady hand in tight twisting grip. " YunHo what are you doing? you are hurting her!" he qucikly made YunHo to release the harsh hold the bodyguard had on the young lady. Asking if she is alright, he chastised YunHo a bit before appologizing to Young Rae, -the girl name apparently- that 'he is his new subordinate assigned by his father and haven't know about anything', and 'he just trying to protect me'. After a quick appologize, the young lady who apparently is quiet cheerfull and understanding have already warmed up to both boys, slapping the Prince shoulder much to Yunho annoyance and even demanding for the veiled bodyguard to reveal his face. A request which YunHo still find hard to comply. But the lady brush the rejection off easily with her kind smile.
What are you doing now Young Rae-shii?" Jaejoong asked. The young lady smiled brightly before answering "I am going to meet Dr. Jin" and Jaejoong immeditately frown hearing the name mentioned. He inquired almost disapprovingly that she isnt supposed to meet the stranger too much, "You dont know who he is and what he is capable of doing" Young Rae frown back at the Crown Prince exclaiming that the stranger doctor have actually save his brother life and if he allow the doctor to check on his 'father' condition he might be able to do something. YunHo watched silently as Jaejoong grow more annoyed to the point that he told Yong Rae one thing he sure the Prince did not mean to let out. "dont you realize that doctor always look at you strangely?" Jaejoong exclaim before his mouth could help it. Young Rae look at oddly before muttering of how chidish Kyung Tak is and proceed to tell that she could either go alone to meet the doctor without Kyung Tak company. The entire bantering continue until Jaejoong could only moan a soft exaperated voices before catching up with the young lady heading away from them.
YunHo who have been watching the exchange from the sideline could not help but to notice the way his Crown Princes acted toward the lady. He didnt know what is his feeling right now mean.
But there is something nagging from the back of his mind, telling him the truth of the ache in his heart.
