--------------------------------
Once, in a cold evening night, he watches the older male turn his body that he could see his face clearly, glowing on the moon's blue sea light. He thought that the older male looks like an angel while sleeping. His silky hair scattered on his face, his peaceful eyes, his kimono-like clothing, those were the things that made him look special. He gazed down to his rosy lips as it was slowly opening. "Do it." He heard the older male with his voice sounded which like a whisper. His eyes were slowly opening as well and it alarmed the younger.
"Kill me."
He was staring straight at the the younger male. The younger male assumed he has saw the knife in front of him, pointing towards his chest. He just stood there and stared back at the older male. And yet, he admitted that his hands can't kill someone like him. He heard footsteps and voices traveling nearer to them. He turned around and jumped out the window and slowly disappears. The older male watches as his figure is slowly fading away. "Ryeowook-shii, are you alright?" One of the maids who came in asked in a worried voice. There were other guards who came in and checked outside the room as well as searched around. He smiled at them.
"Yeah...an assassin visited me."
The next morning, he watches as Ryeowook walk around the beautiful garden while hiding behind the bushes. He stared at the beautiful creature feeling the fresh air, swaying with the wind and stupidly tripping and falling on the ground. He smiled a bit but it quickly faded away. Ryeowook slowly stood up and cleaned his kimono-like clothing. He paused for a moment and smiled. He slowly walked to the younger male hiding behind the bushes. "Hey." He smiled at him. The younger male attempted to run but was stopped when Ryeowook held his hand. "Wait." He knows he shouldn't be found out. He tried to resist Ryeowook's hand holding his. "You're wounded?" He heard Ryeowook asked with a slight tone of worry. The younger male took out a knife and threatened to slash Ryeowook's hand if he doesn't let go.
"Let go of me." He said. Ryeowook did not say a word but smiled. He slid his hand to his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief. He pulled the younger male's hand close and wrapped the cloth around the small wound on his wrist. "What are you doing?" The younger male asked and was clearly confused. Again, not a word but a smile.
"Ryeowook-shii!" They heard the maids calling out his name. Ryeowook turned to look which gave the younger male the chance to pull back his hand. The older male turned back and watches him slowly fading away, again, in the woods. "Ryeowook-shii, what are you doing here?" One of the maids asked as she helps Ryeowook walk out the bushes. "Nothing." And he smiled.
He's considered precious and important for their lord, their king or someone equal to those owns him. It wasn't that long of a story. Before, he was just a normal scholar but unfortunately their king wanted him and threatened to kill his family and friends. There wasn't a choice and so he's here. He's Ryeowook. No one touches him and no one holds him. Except for this assasin that was ordered to kill him, in revenge to their king.
It wasn't long until the cold evening night came again and again he attempts to kill him. "Please...stop." He heard the older male begs while the king, also known as Jongwoon, licks his neck. "Not now--mmhh!" He moaned as Jongwoon sucked his mouth hard until they finally needed air. He breathe hard and sweated a lot, hands pinned on the bed by Jongwoon's hands. Jongwoon stood up and spread Ryeowook's legs in which he resisted. "Spread it." The king said in a tone of anger and fiery eyes. Ryeowook sat up and stared at him. "No. Please-ahh!" He slapped him enought that he fell back on the bed. He clenched his hand, holding Ryeowook's face and turning it to face him. "You don't disobey me." Ryeowook lifted his hand and hit the older male on the head with a vase he randomly grabbed. His eyes widened when he realized what he did. He saw blood when Jongwoon lied down on the bed. He jumped off from the bed immedaitely and cried, trembling.
He heard slow foosteps and voice conversations. Scared of getting seen, he escaped through the window and ran to the woods, avoiding possible guards and maids on the way. Although he avoided people as much as he could, he was caught by one and was dragged to a dark corner. He couldn't see who it was and his mouth was being covered. He saw torch lights and heard armors running around through small openings of the trees and was frightened. He ssumed, they already saw the dead body of their king. "Be quiet." He heard the person talked and he thought the voice was so familiar.He turned around immediately and looket up at him. His face was covered with bandana and a mask. He slowly reached his hand to his face and pulled the mask covering his mouth down. "You?" Before the younger male could even say a word, he was alarmed of the guards near and pulled Ryeowook to run deeper to the woods. They ran the whole night and reached a riverbank the next day.
He watches as Ryeowook washes his hands and drinks from the river. He was sitting on the shadow below the tree and leaned on its trunk. He felt his wound and looked down at his wrist, staring at the handkerchief which was still there. He might've forgotten about it. He looked up again and found Ryeowook nowhere in sight. He was alarmed and was about to stand up when a voice stopped him. "Here." The older male was beside him and offered him an apple which he was holding one himself. "Go on." He smiled at the younger male. He took it and Ryeowook sat beside him. "What's your name?" The older casually asked in which he thought was ridiculous. "I have no reason of giving it to you." The younger male replied arrogantly.
Ryeowook chewed the apple. "Please? Besides, you saved me." He stared at him hoping for an answer. "Don't get me wrong. I saved you because I wanted to kill you myself."
"Wanted?"
"I want to kill you and that's my mission."
"If you say so. But can't you just tell me your name?" He tried again. The younger male grabbed his things and weapons. "Come on." The younger stood up in which Ryeowook did the same. "Just your name."
"Kyuhyun."He started walking and Ryeowook followed, smiling.
They spend nights together travelling through the dangerous path in the woods. Ryeowook knew how stubborn and arrogant Kyuhyun is. He kept on bragging about his mission to kill him and that he wants to do it worthy, so he hasn't done it until now. Kyuhyun knew how kind and undeniably stupid Ryeowook is. He didn't expect he'd meet someone like him. Someone who always smiles, someone who is always happy, someone peaceful. But he was there to break it. It was worthy after all, it would be very worthy to kill him. Both of them knew how this wasn't supposed to happen. Ryeowook knew he shouldn't be with an assassin and Kyuhyun knew he shouldn't fall for an enemy nor pity one. But somehow it didn't matter these past few days together. Somehow, it just feels like they're different but not enemies. Somehow they cared for each other even though just one bit.
They spent a night inside a cave for it was raining hard outside. They covered their bodies with what they had for it was cold and found warmth in a bonfire. They were wet and freezing. Ryeowook sniffed and stayed close to the fire. His clothes were drier for he stayed closer to the fire and not completely covering himself. He noticed the quiet Kyuhyun leaning on the cave wall and covering himself. His eyes were closed and there wasn't any actions. Ryeowook had enough of this stubborness of him. He stood up and walked to Kyuhyun. "Kyuhyun." He called but there was no response. He knelt down to see his face. "You're really wet..." He grabbed a small piece of cloth and wiped Kyuhyun's face. "You shouldn't let yourself wet like this...you need to dry off." Kyuhyun's eyes were slowly opening and Ryeowook stopped wiping his face. "Are you alright?"
Kyuhyun stared at the older male in front of him. He stared at those eyes that sparkled,those cheeks that are red, those sweat flowing down to his jaw, it was sexy, and it tempted him. He slowly moved closer to Ryeowook and locked lips. They kissed passionately, eyes closed, and wet. Ryeowook was slowly pushed down until he was lying on the ground. "Mmh...Kyu--" Ryeowook tried to remind Kyuhyun of how wrong this is but it seemed like Kyuhyun knew it and he just stopped him from saying it. Kyuhyun slowly opened Ryeowook's robe and licked him everywhere, in which Ryeowook can only moan. Through the night, they both knew, they're doing something wrong and unacceptable. And it scared them but they didn't stop.
Morning came and bird's singing woke Ryeowook up. He slowly opened his eyes and blinked several times to clear his vision. He tried to move and sit up but his body was completely worn out from last night. "Last night..." He frowned when he remembered what happened last night. "This isn't right." He forced himself to sit up and he looked for Kyuhyun. By then, someone covered his mouth from behind and pulled him to the dark corner of the cave. He can barely breathe, he can't talk nor squeal. "Sssh." He was relieved when he knew it was Kyuhyun. After wards, he saw armored soldiers walking back and forth in front of the cave and they have to keep quiet.
An hour have passed and there was no one in sight again when they started our journey again. The breeze is cold as the winds flow through their bodies. Ryeowook, being a straightforward person, came to ask Kyuhyun about a sensitive matter. "Kyuhyun, you like me don't you?" He was completely frank. Kyuhyun didn't respond. "Admit it." This time, Ryeowook was serious.
"We shouldn't talk about these things."
"Why?"
Kyuhyun stopped walking and faced Ryeowook angrily. "You wanna know why?? Because its wrong!"
"I know that. But you started it."
"Forget it! A time will come when I'm gonna kill you and nothing of this is important to me!"
"Then what am I?"
"You're an enemy." Kyuhyun glared at Ryeowook before turning back and continued to walk his pace. Throughout the whole duration of their travel, no one talked, no one started a conversation, no looking nor touching. Its as if you're walking at your own direction but someone happened to be walking in the same direction as you. They stopped in another river they came across. Ryeowook washes his hands in the river while Kyuhyun was cleaning his weapons. Ryeowook stared at those weapons, a bit scared. He bowed down and looked at his reflection on the water. "Ryeowook. I always believed it was a nice name." He talked to himself. He smiled at his own reflection on the water. "I'm gonna miss you." He sighed.
They started walking again until they reached sunset. Ryeowook stopped when the sunset view caught his attention. He stared at it and was completely amused. Kyuhyun looked at him and admired the innocent face being flashed onto him. It was one of a kind. He just wished, he wasn't the enemy, he just wished that he also wasn't the assassin. But its their fate. "Hurry up." He broke the amusement of the older male by calling him. They went through wet grounds and slippery grass. The whole reason of this travel is to reach their hide out and that's where Kyuhyun's gonna kill him. For him, it was for a show. It won't be long until its goodbye.
Through the nights they spent together, Ryeowook knew about their hide out and its location. There is a really big temple on top of a tall mountain. Below that is their hide out, underground. It was pretty amazing that their hide out is inside the mountain, under a temple. Which was the reason why his clan never got the chance to attack them through their hide out, it was well-hidden.
The sun fell and the moon rose as evening came. As usual, they relied on the moon's light to see their surroundings. Kyuhyun was very careful in walking, always looking around while Ryeowook just randomly yell on disgusting things and trip on yucky grounds. "Ahhh!" He yelled for the nth time this night. Kyuhyun thought it was irritating at first but as time passed it made him feel relieved that Ryeowook's there and his stupidity. "Ah!" Kyuhyun thought his scream was short and thought he heard a thud. He turned around and found Ryeowook on the ground. "Ewe...ewe~" Ryeowook whined while trying to get up. Kyuhyun rolled his eyes and sighed. He dropped his weapons on the ground and approached Ryeowook. "Here. Take my hand." He offered his hand to help. Ryeowook took his hand and pushed himself to stand up. When Kyuhyun noticed he's fine by himself, he turned around to get his things. Upon walking there, he stopped and stared on the ground. His weapons were nowhere to be found. "What the..." He looked back at Ryeowook and found him cleaning his clothes. He stared at him suspiciously. "Ryeowook."
"Huh?" The older man looked up at him and smiled. Kyuhyun stared at him though he was suspicious. "Is there something wrong?"
Kyuhyun stood straight and looked around them. He tried to feel the surrounding and listen to the leaves and trees. He walked to Ryeowook and pulled him quickly to the other side of the tree before arrows could hit them. They stayed there for awhile, Kyuhyun held close to Ryeowook. "Fuck. They have my weapons." Kyuhyun looked around in a pissed plus worried face as he held closer to Ryeowook. "What's happening?" Ryeowook asked the younger man as he faced him. "I don't know. I think they're your soldiers." Kyuhyun was obviously sweating. "Ryeowook...you know something about this?"
Ryeowook stared at him. "No. I ran away didn't I?"
"Just making sure."
"You're still suspicious of me?"
"I'm just making sure."
The older man's brows met and he made a distance between him and Kyuhyun. "Fine." He pulled his hand back from Kyuhyun. "You don't have to worry about me!" He turned around and run to the woods. Kyuhyun was alarmed. "Ryeowook!" He felt guilty for a second there, that was one big mistake. He hesitated at first to run after him but after realizing this was all his fault, he didn't care about those bows, kunais and such, he just want to run after him. He wants him back. Ryeowook was running in no direction but it was a bit weird for him to not trip and fall. "Damn. This is what you get for being...stupid." He told himself. He looked around and found the whole place creepy. He wished he won't see something he shouldn't see or find something he wasn't supposed to find. Or rather, be found out by someone.
Kyuhyun ran to whatever direction he can feel Ryeowook went. He ignored big trees, he avoided blocking stems, he pushed away any sense of scare but left courage inside him. He stopped a few times to try to find the right path but in the end he relied on the direction his heart gave him. It was rather reckless for an assassin to even try and find an enemy, not on the rules. And its getting really wrong this time. But damn those rules, he might be quitting sometime after this but he knows the consequences. This time, its either kill Ryeowook as soon as he finds him or kill both of them together. Which is rather not right.
Whatever the reasons are, he found him. But this was more of a big problem. He found him, yes, he had to kill him, yes. "Ryeowook. Don't move." He instructed the older man who is standing in front of soldiers targeting him. Ryeowook turned around to look at Kyuhyun. "Kyuhyun."
"I said don't move!" Just then, at the right time, his fellow assassins came and attacked the soldiers in front of them, one by one. "What the..." Afraid of Ryeowook getting killed, he pulled the older man close to him and pushed him behind. "Kill him!" He heard one of his companions yell, and him was obviously Ryeowook. Kyuhyun was confused and Ryeowook was smiling. "Kill him now!" He held Ryeowook's hand and pulled him to run away from the place. "What?! What is he doing?!" He didn't bother about the disappointment in his fellow assassins' words, he just had to get out of there. They stopped where the coast was almost clear but they could still here slashes and painful yells. Kyuhyun turned around hoping to get a glimpse of Ryeowook when he felt a painful stab on his stomach before he could even talk. It was painful. Very painful. He looked down to reassure it was a knife, it was a knife, it was his knife. He held the hands holding it, covered with blood and lies and he looked up, saw Ryeowook, smiling. "What...what are you doing?" He was losing his strength. Ryeowook let go of the knife and let Kyuhyun fall down on the ground, with no strength left. He walked over and knelt beside Kyuhyun. "You underestimated me."
Kyuhyun coughed painfully. Ryeowook touched Kyuhyun's face, softly and warmly. "Your friends are dead. Your hide out has been found out. Thanks to you, we lost an enemy."
"You...you planned this?" Kyuhyun almost whispered, it was too hard for him to talk now. Since Ryeowook stabbed him at a very critical part, its pretty impossible to stand up or even kill Ryeowook.
The older man smirked. "Yes. All of it. From...killing the king to this. You're an asssasin, but you sure are weak to be one." He pulled out the knife which was buried on Kyuhyun's stomach deeply.
"Ah!" Kyuhyun coughed blood and the bleeding got worst from his wound. He stared at Ryeowook, those eyes he thought were real, those lips he felt was warm and his smile, his smile that he kept special in his heart. He's weak and he knows it. He watched as Ryeowook stand up and smile at him for the last time, as Ryeowook turns around and walk away. He stared at his beautiful hair and gorgeous figure. His tears fell and he blamed himself. An enemy is an enemy, he should've known that. He tried to reach out for Ryeowook for the last time, thinking there was only a small distance between them though he was far, but he couldn't.
He could see absolutely nothing. He can only see with his eyes closed memories with him. His laughter, whining, complaints, irritating questions and smile. It was all fake, it was all lies. From then on, he couldn't feel anything anymore, he couldn't move any part of his body except for his mouth. He slowly lost his sense of hearing but strive hard to hear the last things he could at this one moment until it was only his own voice and a whisper.
"Liar."
