misfortune ch. 01
“Park Yoochun, meet the princess. You will protect her with your life from now on, and that is your only purpose,” the adult towered over the two young children, Yoochun aged 6, the princess at age 5. The two timidly looked at each other before the elder of the two nodded.
“Princess… I’ll protect you from now on, please let me carry all your problems,” although a little awkward, the young Yoochun bowed politely before giving a smile to the slim person in front of him. The other blushed before nodding and bowing her head in return.
“Now Princess, Yoochun will now escort you to your lessons and around the area. Anywhere you go, Park should be with you, understand?” a slight nod of the head from the princess showed the slightly plump man that she did. “Good. It’s almost dinner time, so you two head off to the dining area.”
With that the man was off, leaving the two children to awkwardly shuffle around and look anywhere but at each other. After the silence was stretch to its fullest, Yoochun motioned for the princess to start the walk towards the eating quarters. It was met with a shy smile before the princess complied and walked forward first.
---------------------
It was early evening, the sun just setting and the cold air just starting to settle. The two, now slightly older pair were sitting under a big tree, the princess reading a book and Yoochun simply watching in interest.
Two eyes looked up to meet his in slight curiosity.
“I was just thinking, I’ve been protecting princess for three years without knowing your name…” Yoochun stared back at the smaller child who had gone back to reading, seemingly ignoring his statement.
Silence surrounded the pair once again.
And Yoochun wasn’t surprised.
------------------------
The same spot, this time early morning two years down the road, Yoochun now eleven and the princess at ten years of age for a total of five years together. Although they spent so much time together, Yoochun still felt like a stranger to the princess, but then again, the princess didn’t talk to anyone and was busy with classes.
The princess was studying language, leaving Yoochun to simply stare like usual. It was a situation the two were used to by now, and it was quickly becoming comfortable and routine.
A bird squawked and flew off in the interest, Yoochun gazed at it lazily.
“Princess Junsu.”
The quiet voice was carried by the soft wind, just barely making it to the young guardians ears. Out of surprise he turned to look, but the princess was still reading, like nothing had changed.
But for Yoochun, it had.
And he couldn’t help but smile.
-----------------
It was one year later when their usual routine was broken.
The King and Queen came to Junsu’s lesson, standing outside and watching Yoochun simply stand outside the door.
He bowed towards them out of respect, before asking, “to what do I owe the honour a visit from the King and Queen?” They both smiled down fondly at the child, knowing they had made the right choice six years ago. The memories of the five different trainees… Yoochun was definitely the right one.
“The princess has a meeting urgently after this lesson, and we are going to help you escort him,” the king explained, peaking into the room to see Junsu studying hard with his tutor. He smiled fondly, but Yoochun could sense a slight spark of sadness, and maybe regret, in his aging eyes.
His questions were cut short when the familiar sight of the princess walked through the doors. Junsu bowed towards the king and queen before giving a questioning glance to Yoochun.
“There’s an important meeting that princess must attend, that is the reason for the king and queen to come escort the princess,” he voiced, knowing full well what Junsu wanted to know. It seemed to satisfy his curiosity enough because the princess nodded and then followed the king and queen to one of the meeting rooms.
There was already three people seated in front of the low table, a women, a man, and a young teenager, maybe only two or three years older than Yoochun or Junsu.
“Princess Junsu, it’s nice to meet you. I am the king of the neighbouring district, this is my wife, and finally, this is my son, Prince Yunho,” Junsu’s mother and father both nodded their heads in a slight bow while Junsu himself and Yoochun bowed properly.
Mrs. Kim placed her hand on the princess’ back and lightly guided Junsu to sit down on the opposite side of the table from the young prince. She then sat down next to the princess and her husband on her other side. There was no room for Yoochun so he chose to stand by the door and silently watch over the meeting.
“Junsu-sshi, we have heard a lot about you, and I see you take your good looks from your mother,” the other king complimented, a friendly smile on his face. “I’m sure you’re aware that the whole country is in trouble right now, and through various talks between your parents and us, we found it would be most beneficial that the two of us bind together to help our people.”
Junsu nodded in understanding, silently wondering where this was going.
“Since we want to ensure this relationship, we’ve agreed the only way is through an arranged marriage.”
Junsu gave his mother a look.
Yoochun wondered why his heart hurt so much.
