movie night

navi/masterlist

pairing: yunho x reader

genre: fluff; requested by @yunhoiseyecandy !

word count: 2.3k

warnings: none!

a/n: the amount of time this took me to write just because i kept napping… i’m ashamed

imagine this: me, yunho, cuddles + kithes + movies :3

“yunho, what are you doing?”, you laughed out after the third time your boyfriend had found it completely necessary to start kissing all over your face during a lovey scene in the movie you were currently watching, completely without warning or explanation.

“kissing you”, he just replied, lips still forcibly attached to your face as if it was impossible to remove them even just to answer you.

“i can see that”, or rather, feel, “but i don’t really get why you’re suddenly so lovey.”

“do you want me to stop?”, and now it did seem possible to bring just a few centimetres of distance between his lips and your skin.

“no, love, it’s cute, it’s just hard to focus on the movie when you’re being so cute”, you told him, and then, as realisation hit you: “you just don’t want to watch a romcom! you could’ve just told me, i would’ve put something else on!”

“no no!”, he was quick to reassure, “the movie is cute! you’re just cuter. it’s impossible to not kiss you when you smile so cutely whenever something lovey happens.”

now it was you pressing a kiss to his lips as you turned your head to look at him, and another one, and, just because you could, a third one as well, before you focused back on the movie.

yunho didn’t like this, though, wanted your attention on him only now that he’d gotten some of it, but he knew that you really wanted to watch the movie, so he tried to let you focus.

keyword: tried.

he really was trying to not be too in-your-face with his affection, small kisses pressed to your shoulder, neck, jaw, picking up your hands to kiss your knuckles, but what he hoped to be lowkey left you wanting more, more kisses, a tighter hug, just more love. it was impossible to resist him when he was all over you smothering you with affection. so you decided to pause the movie, and once that was done you turned in yunho’s lap some more, now in the perfect position to get all his love and kisses.

“but the movie-?”, your boyfriend asked, but you just shook your head.

“it’s impossible to not kiss you when you’re being so adorable”, you repeated what he’d offered you as an explanation a little earlier, though slightly tweaked to fit the new situation, and he smiled.

“i guess.”

then, even though you’d told him that it was impossible for you not to kiss him, he leaned in again to kiss you, happy that this time you wouldn’t be complaining about missing out on the plot.

“you taste like chips”, because that’s what you’d been eating, the only option for a portion-sized, grabbable snack in the house, and also the reason why there were subtitles on the movie, because your crunching made it difficult to understand the characters at times.

“and you taste like you’ve inhaled a whole bottle of sprite since we started”, you replied to him, both of you smiling against the other.

“together we’re the perfect meal for a movie date”, he joked, playfully licking your lips to mix the tastes.

“yup. perfect meal”, he assessed his little experiment, and you couldn’t help but laugh.

“my turn”, doing the same as he’d done, making it his turn to laugh as you tried to taste some of the sprite off his lips.

“can you even taste it?”, because he didn’t assume his lips tasted a lot like the drink. if anything, his tongue probably tasted more like it.

and his suspicion was confirmed when you grinned at him.

“nope”, you let him know, “but it’s fun to tease you back.”

you shouldn’t have said this, though, because what had started off as innocent teasing resulted in you near falling off the couch as he tickled your sides with one hand, holding your hands together so you were entirely helpless with the other.

“mercy! please! spare me!”, you laughed out as his hands mercilessly attacked you, making you near pee your pants because he just would not stop.

“what do i get if i stop?”, yunho asked, stopping now so you’d be able to form a coherent sentence, something he knew would be impossible if he kept torturing you.

“whatever you want! whatever you want!”, without thinking much about it - you were desperate for a break and you were desperate for the bathroom, your laughter having caused something that would become a problem if he wouldn’t let you go pee right now.

“hmm…”, he thought out loud, considering what he’d bribe out of you, leaving you still unable to move as he was holding your hands together.

“please just let me pee, yunho”, you whined out, and finally you were released, sprinting to the bathroom to grant your bladder the desired relief as he mused on.

“you said i get whatever i want”, you were greeted by your boyfriend as you returned from the bathroom, much less hurried than you’d been when you left, and the reminder of that already had you fear whatever he was going to ask of you.

“i want to go to mcdonald’s and get a happy meal”, he continued, “and a mcflurry. and a big milkshake. and you pay.”

at least it could have been worse. even though it was currently nearing 11pm and you really weren’t excited about going out in the merciless cold he at least hadn’t asked you for a trip to universal studios or something equally impossible. really, you were lucky you got out of this with just a mcdonald’s meal.

“get your jacket and let’s go”, you just told him, and he seemed a little surprised that you just accepted it. he wasn’t going to complain, though.

that was how you found yourself in mcdonald’s as one of the only customers roughly twenty minutes later, you in yunho’s lap as he fed you some of his fries. you’d just gotten an - already devoured - mcflurry for yourself while his wish had been fulfilled, but the fact that he had two drinks meant he left you to choose the happy meal’s drink, which was assigned your drink as he happily sipped his milkshake.

“thank you, angel”, he told you, but you just rolled your eyes at him, making it a point to turn your head so he could most definitely see it, too.

“as if you’d let me go if i hadn’t offered you literally anything you wanted. and i needed to pee.”

“fair point”, feeding you another fry - by now you’d probably eaten more fries than him, but he didn’t mind -, “but i still want to say thank you. i have manners, you know.”

he was most definitely teasing, but you had a good counter argument, as he found out when you without a single second for thought told him: “didn’t seem like it when you tickled me half to death.”

“you started it!”, he tried defending himself, but not with you.

“you were the one to lick my lip just to get some taste of the chips! i just repaid you, that doesn’t make me the one who started!”

yunho couldn’t argue with that, so he just grumbled, deciding to speed up his fry feeding tempo so you wouldn’t be able to say any more, keeping your mouth constantly occupied with chewing.

this plan, however, stopped working as soon as he was out of fries, and your teasing immediately continued.

“don’t think i didn’t know what you were doing”, you told him, “you just can’t stand hearing the truth.”

“can’t i want my love to be well fed? does that make me a bad boyfriend? if so, give me the worst boyfriend in the world award, because i’ll always make sure you have enough food.”

“dork”, but you were smiling, enjoying the moment and how normal it felt. it felt like this was how it should be, your boyfriend and you at mcdonald’s, you in his lap as he tried to navigate his spoon to his mouth without accidentally hitting you in the chest with it, the time close to midnight so you were two of the only people there, just being goofy and relaxed. it felt like the hectic world full of assignments and work and random due dates couldn’t reach you in this moment.

“but i’m your dork”, yunho informed you as he pressed a soft kiss to your cheek, something that still made your heart flutter. you literally lived with him, you’d spent the last three years of your life with him, yet whenever he confirmed that he was yours and you were his you felt like you had on your very first date.

“and it looks like my dork finished his happy meal. do you want to go back home? i’m a little tired.”

‘a little’ was an understatement, but you weren’t about to tell him that it was near impossible to not fall asleep in this lousy mcdonald’s just because he was enveloping you in his warmth with his arms around you and chest against your back. that would be a reason for more teasing than you were willing to accept.

“let’s go”, and you left hand in hand after you’d thrown away the remnants of your late night adventure, the only thing keeping you from freezing on the walk back home the fact that he’d wrapped an arm around you as soon as he realised you were cold, trying to give as much of his warmth to you as he could.

though that had helped you were glad when you were back home, taking off your shoes and the sorry excuse of a jacket that hadn’t done its job and immediately moving towards the bedroom, hiding underneath not only your but also his blanket, and you were absolutely willing to fight him if he dared to demand even just one of the blankets for himself.

he didn’t, though, laying down on his back next to you as he watched your incredibly tiny-looking face peek out from the blanket cocoon you’d built for yourself.

“come sleep here and you can keep them both”, he offered, patting his stomach to let you know where ‘here’ was - on top of him.

he didn’t need to tell you twice, the cocoon that was more blanket than girlfriend shuffling its way on top of him and only changing its cocoon conditions to also cover him in the blankets rather than having them folded in underneath your stomach. his body heat was a good substitute for the warmth you now lacked from the blankets, though, and his arms holding you tightly had you decide that this was better than just a blanket cocoon.

“you’re hot”, you told him, nuzzling into him for more comfort, but of course yunho couldn’t help but comment on your word choice.

“i am? i thought you wanted to sleep, but if you have different plans…”

“shut up or you’re sleeping on the couch”, a threat both of you knew you wouldn’t actually make a reality, but it did its job.

“okay”, he chuckled, “we’ll just sleep.”

“mhm”, you hummed, rubbing your cheek against the soft fabric of his shirt that still smelled a little bit of fast food, but it was okay.

“goodnight, love. and thanks for the happy meal, again.”

“night. and this was a one-time thing.”

it really wouldn’t be, but it couldn’t hurt to try. though you didn’t actually know if he replied anything to that, sleep dragging you into the land of dreams at a speed of 200 kilometres per second. all you were able to still, half subconsciously, perceive were his warmth and his soft, strong arms around you.

the next morning you were still in the same position, his breath steady and even underneath you, although his arms were wrapped a little less tightly around you, only his hands still on your back as the rest of his arms had almost entirely slid off while both of you were asleep. you really didn’t want to wake him up, but he looked so peaceful asleep like that that you couldn’t keep yourself from kissing him, and as if he was an action doll and kissing him was the little power button his eyes fluttered open, looking at you with sleep still evident in them, but the sleepy pout on his lips turned into a smile anyway.

“morning.”

“morning, sleepyhead”, acting as if you hadn’t woken up maybe two minutes before him. he didn’t need to know that, though.

“slept well?”, you asked him then.

“mhm. you? warm enough?”

“yes”, you told him, kissing him again right after, “thank you.”

“no problem.”

his arms moved back fully around you as he held you close for a little more, until his body had fully realised that it was time to be awake, at which point he asked you if you wanted to go get breakfast.

you hummed in approval of his idea and both of you attempted to free you from the blanket cocoon, and once that was done you made your way to the kitchen, though the tv in the living room caught your attention first.

“we forgot to turn it off last night”, yunho said, surprised, as he remembered that you had in fact never cared to turn the tv off, thinking you’d continue the movie after going to mcdonald’s - something that obviously hadn’t happened.

“we did”, you replied just as surprised, but then surprise turned into content as you smiled at the memories of the previous night, all the cute kisses and hugs and teasing that always made you so happy, even when you were exasperated in the moment.

“do you think we’ll ever be able to finish an entire romcom?”, you asked him then, still smiling.

“probably not.”

🙝 1 🙞

Humble. Light-hearted. Innocent.

Kim Seokjin was the definition of purity, humility and goodness. Even though he was one of Goryeo’s princes, he didn’t look down on anyone, except himself. He was said to be the only royal in the palace whose soul wasn’t chained to the Devil. In the midst of hatred, treason, pride and intrigue, he was a living angel.

As a result, he was the one who was constantly bullied, both physically and emotionally abused and even his royal family and their servants called him names. Sometimes they mocked him because of his baby cheeks, reprimanded him for his bad eye-sight and made fun of him due to his fragile body. Sometimes they made up lies, just to make him receive the punishment. He could easily be used because he never − not even once − protested. Not when they accused him of stealing from the King’s jewellery box, for shoving his brothers into the palace’s lake or laying a hand on the soon-to-be king.

Why would he bear everything, although he knew that he didn’t deserve it? The answer was pretty easy. He didn’t know. He had no idea how he was supposed to be treated. He didn’t witness love, affection and humility around himself. Not until Park Myungeun showed up in his life, Myungeun being 12 years old and Seokjin being 13 years old at that time. After her arrival, his world was lifted upside-down.

Myungeun and Seokjin were the parties for an arranged marriage as a beneficial diplomatic deal, signed by the king of Goryeo and the king of Hubaekje. He was the 7th prince back then and she was the 8th princess. It was said that once Seokjin turns 19 years old, they would get married.

Being only 13 years old, he had no idea what to expect when Princess Myungeun and the king of Hubaekje - King Gyeonhwon - arrived at the palace, her father literally tossing her into the grandiose hall of his home.

Seokjin was eating his breakfast in the kitchen (another way to show that the King treated him differently; he couldn’t eat with the others, his breakfast was served in the kitchen where the servants worked), therefore he could eavesdrop the conversation with the said princess and her father. He even sneaked a bit because he was curious and came in sight with a tall, manly figure and a pretty girl with glistening eyes and a heart-shaped face. He gulped when he saw her. Her beauty was out of this world.

“Behave, child!” The father’s voice struck like lightning and resonated back from the rigid walls. The little boy shivered. “I don’t want to hear anything from you. Not even good, not even bad. Don’t forget that you are only here because Hubaekje doesn’t need another enemy at its current state. If things go wrong, you can get killed, you can be used or sold. Don’t forget that you are under King Wanggun's supervision from now on,” he splattered without any emotion displaying on his face. Without even love, hate or pity. Absolutely nothing. He was almost as stern as a statue.

“Put the children in her room until I meet with King Wanggun,” he turned to one of the servants, a pretty fifty-something lady with grizzled hair who looked just as puzzled as Myungeun. She was so startled that she almost forgot about the child when she started walking towards the corridor. Seokjin assumed that he was always as strict as this time but judged by the shock on the lady’s face, he knew that his behaviour wasn’t usual. “Make sure to keep an eye on her! I don’t want her to cause any trouble,” he added impatiently, his lips pursed in a thin line. The servant bowed politely and gently grabbed the girl by her wrist, leading her to her room.

Even though Seokjin was quite far from the scene, he could still feel the scorn and detestation that radiated off of the king of Hubaekje. He didn’t only look mean but also dangerous. He couldn’t understand how his father convinced King Gyeonhwon to seal a deal with him instead of attacking Goryeo and taking over the country. Everyone knew that Hubaekje had more soldiers but it was also a well-known fact that those soldiers weren’t as strong as the ones in Goryeo. As a result, signing a contract and deciding on peace was a win-win for both parties.

At that time, Seokjin didn’t know a lot about politics. He was forced to learn the name of previous kings and commanders, learn a bit about Goryeo’s history but he was never properly taught how to lead a country, when it was beneficial to seal a deal and what should we prioritise when we go into war. There was only one thing that he was taught to believe; everyone was an enemy outside the palace. However, despite his young age, Seokjin already knew well that he had enemies within the palace, too. In fact, that was all he had. Until Myungeun showed up that day and they started talking, he had nothing but enemies by his side.

Oh, what a lovely conversation they had! He could still remember every word that left her rosy-coloured lips, every expression that was displaying on her heart-shaped face and every glint that was swimming in her obsidian-black eyes.

What he didn’t know then that she would also cause the death of him and their love would really be one that lasts forever… and even more.

🙝 2 🙞

Come to think of their first conversation, Seokjin always had an ambivalent feeling. At that time, it felt natural but as years went by, it became a constant subject of their heart-to-heart talks and a reason why they suddenly started smiling, no matter where they went or what situation they were in. Being the Pride himself, he didn’t feel anything, only numbness. The smile that dared to creep onto his face was chemical; it was a mere trace of his usual smile.

It was the day of Myungeun’s arrival. She was sitting on the green grass, in the middle of their breath-taking garden, almost right beside the lake. The weather was lovely – the sun placed searing kisses on their pale skin, slowly caressing the fragility of their human bodies. Sometimes he wished he could still have a chance to feel the sunshine on his cracked skin or to feel the touch of her hand just one more time.

Nevertheless, he knew that it would only make things worse. She would make him feel even more miserable and cause more pain that she had already done.

First of all, little Seokjin only watched her from afar; watched as the wind played with the childish curls of her hair or as the butterflies were flying above her head, creating an invisible halo. Only after a few seconds when he had already made sure that they were alone did he actually approach her, clearing his throat as he came to a halt beside her.

Myungeun looked up from her book and averted her eyes to the boy. She was apparently taken aback by his sudden visit or his mere presence. He didn’t really know, after all it was their first proper encounter after the arranged marriage deal between their parents. Since they were still minors, they weren’t there when they came up with the conditions.

“May I sit beside you, Her Royal Highness, Princess of Hubaekje?” He bowed in respect, calling her by her proper name. He was once beaten because he couldn’t address a princess in the right way, so he made sure that he didn’t make any mistakes this time.

“It would be an honour, Your Highness,” she bobbed her head in response, closing the book in her hand. After her invitation, he hopped down beside her, stretching his hand out to touch the slightly wet grass which was watered by a sudden downpour earlier that day.

Myungeun smiled coyly, her adorable big doe eyes shining with both fondness and affection. She was quite flustered because it was her first time meeting a prince in person (and not his own brothers), not during a ball or a birthday celebration. Not to mention that she was perfectly aware of the fact that the boy who was sitting beside him, looking oh so harmless would be his husband one day. Even though she was only 12 years old, she knew that she sacrificed her safety, free-will and even her happiness for that marriage. She didn’t have a choice though, she had to do it for her kingdom. She was a princess, that was her duty.

“You have a really pretty dress,” he complimented, examining her from head to toe in that typical childish manner which was anything but rude. He looked at the world like he could still find something new, something magnificent and he could wander for long minutes without saying anything, without moving around. That was what infancy was about; to explore the beauty of the world because as soon as you grow up, you will find it harder and harder to find the rainbow in the midst of a heavy rain.

“Thank you, Your Highness,” she blushed deeply and her cheeks looked like two rosebuds.

“I don’t like to be called Your Highness,” the boy pouted sadly. “It makes me feel old. I’m just 13 years old. Instead, how about coming up with a nickname for me?” he leaned forward to see the hidden universes in her obsidian-black eyes. She flushed even more, not knowing what to do about the sudden intimacy.

A moment later, he also got embarrassed and backed away, questioning why he even dared to get closer to the 8th princess of Hubaekje. If his father had seen it, he would have punished him for his shameless behaviour. “So that you and only you can call me by that,” he added with a subtle smile, still a bit ashamed of his previous act.

The girl was left thinking for some seconds. Seokjin found it cute how she started biting her lips while she was pondering for a thought. It was an act out of hesitation but he still thought that it was adorable. She seemed natural and not at all princess-like and it made him feel at ease. At least, someone in the palace didn’t act like they ruled the world.

“What about Jinnie?” she suggested but as soon as she said the made-up nickname out loud, she giggled. She didn’t think that it would be so awful until the words left her mouth.

“Ah, that sounds like a girl’s name,” the little boy huffed in disbelief but a mischievous smile was evident on his face.

“Oh really, I’m so sorry,” Myungeun apologised in between laughs. Her laughter reminded him of the bell that was ringing through the utmost silence of the room; it was glorious, soothing and one of a kind. Something that chilled him to his bones and made his young heart beat faster. Something that was like an unknown character for him; he saw its curves and lines but he still couldn’t know its meaning. “And JinJin?” She raised her eyebrows, curiously waiting for his answer. Seokjin shook his head in disapproval.

“That sounds like a Chinese emperor’s name.”

“You are so hopeless,” she blurted out with the honesty of a 12-year-old and gently nudged his shoulder. He was actually flabbergasted at her behaviour. Apart from their introductions, she didn’t treat him like a prince and it might have been bothering or even upsetting for some of his brothers but he was an exception. It actually made him feel like a bird escaping its cage; it was truly deliberating yet scary. Coming off the safe ground was never easy. However, the unknown world never seemed as alluring as right then and there, just because he was with Myungeun.

“How about simply Jin then?” She winked at him and earned a satisfied smile from the little prince. Now, he was pleased with what he had heard.

“Well, I like that,” he admitted sheepishly. “It’s simple and nice,” he smiled to himself, not knowing why his heart was beating so fast. In general, he was like a ghost; he had to be around people to let them know that he was still there but he didn’t want to gain others’ attention. On the other hand, while he was with her, he didn’t want to hide in corners anymore, he wanted to be seen. He wanted to be loved.

“Then Jin, promise me to stay happy and healthy until we get married,” Myungeun said as she turned to face him, her eyes shining with affection. Jin raised his eyebrows in question.

“Why just until then?”

“Because after that, I’ll be your wife and I’ll take care of you,” she puffed her chest out in pride and held out her petite hand. Seokjin looked at it with fondness, examining those state-of-the-art fingers and her pale skin. “Promise?” she asked gleefully while playing with a loose strand of her hair with her other hand. The little boy didn’t have to think twice.

“Promise,” he intertwined their pinkies and sealed their promise.

Neither of them knew that it was a promise which was meant to be broken. They were already in another world when they should have got married.

🙝 3 🙞

It was almost a month after the princess of Hubaekje had arrived that she found out that Seokjin was constantly bullied. To be precise, she witnessed when he got beaten by one of his brothers – to be precise, the 4th prince who was called Sangchul. Oh, how he wished she hadn’t been there!

Seokjin was pressed against the wall in one of the corridors while the 4th prince was punching him in the face. Once, twice, three times… After that, he didn’t even keep count of it. Even though Sangchul claimed that he had stolen his fan that he had got from the Queen for his 16th birthday, he wasn’t the one who stole it. Nonetheless, he willingly received the punishment and didn’t even budge when he hit him again.

The 13-year-old boy saw from the corner of his eyes that a figure showed up at the end of the corridor. He couldn’t see properly who it was but he assumed that it was only one of his brothers or his parents who didn’t care about their son, not even a single bit.

Unfortunately, the sudden visitor turned out to be Myungeun who didn’t have the heart to back off and leave him there. She boldly came up to them, taking Sangchul by surprise who suddenly froze when he caught sight of her. The young girl looked ridiculously small beside the 17-year-old prince and Seokjin wanted nothing else than to warn her and shout until she got scared and ran away. Yet, the words stuck in his throat and his mouth went dry. Blood was streaming down his face and his lips were chapped. Overall, he was a beautiful mess.

“May I ask what I am witnessing, Your Highness?” the princess turned to Sangchul whose eyes widened in amazement. Even though the 8th princess of Hubaekje was younger than them and looked absolutely harmless, there was something in her tone that make everyone dread her words.

“Nothing. Absolutely nothing,” the elder prince shook his head. “Seokjin-ssi is merely receiving his punishment for stealing my property,” he added nonchalantly, glancing at the younger boy who was trying to stop his nosebleed in vain. He didn’t even dare to look up until Myungeun turned to face him and directed a question at him.

“Is that true?” she inquired without any hint of accusation. The boy felt the tension in the air and it didn’t help either that his heart was beating so fast, it ran like a wild horse who had just escaped its cage. He hesitated whether or not to tell her the truth. He didn’t want to look up, he didn’t want her to see his face and see how weak he was. He didn’t want her to get involved.

Yet, he couldn’t resist the urge to look into her hickory-brown eyes. Those beautiful blossoming rose buds that glowed more than ever. Those remarkable books that kept secrets and legends under their cover. Those nights that carried the cry of an innocent child and the giggle of a growing woman. Those little diamonds could tell anything but so could Seokjin’s worry-filled orbs.

Without saying a single word out loud, he shook his head in disagreement and knew that the girl got the message. To prove that he was right, she averted her eyes back to Sangchul who was flabbergasted at this absurd scene.

“It’s true, Your Highness,” he lied without a blink of an eye. “Don’t believe him! He’s a notorious liar,” he stumbled upon his words and the princess couldn’t feel anything but pity. Despite the fact that the 4th prince was 5 years older than her, he seemed like he was her interior, he didn’t act like a reliable soon-to-be-king. Not to mention his horrific acting skills, he was terrible at lying.

“Do you have evidence?” Myungeun counter-attacked and left both of the boys open-mouthed. Sangchul was apparently cornered by her question while Seokjin was more than surprised to see her acting like that. He had never seen her so serious and bold before. She was the definition of justice, that’s for sure.

“Excuse me?”

“Do you have evidence that the 7th prince stole what is yours?” she repeated patiently, not even showing signs of irritation or fear. She was utterly calm and firm.

However, the 4th prince seemed to come back to his senses and regained his usual, aggressive self. He started fuming in anger and spitted the words like they were infected animals on the verge of dying and he had to witness while they were suffering. He looked at her with disgust and pity in his eyes.

“How dare you ask me if I have evidence? You are just a useless princess, you have no right to question my words,” he bellowed like a bull and without warning, he came closer to her and slapped her in the face.

Three seconds of silence fell between the three of them. None of them said anything out loud; Seokjin gasped in horror, Sangchul had to suppress a triumphant smirk while Myungeun didn’t show any sign of pain. It was almost like she was too used, so it didn’t even make a difference to her.

“You are aware that I can inform my father anytime to send the army of Hubaekje and attack your kingdom. Is that right, Your Highness?” she raised her eyebrows in question.

Seokjin presumed that she would be shivering or at least her voice would be shaking but no, not at all. She was in perfect control of her emotions and her body. She wasn’t afraid. God knows how she had such a will-power to even question the 4th prince’s words who was 5 years older than her!

On the other hand, she was absolutely right. Goryeo didn’t have a choice but to either seal the deal with Hubaekje or get attacked by its army. She was a figure on the chess board, to be precise, the most important one. If she gets hurt, Hubaekje finally has a reason to attack the other kingdom. If she stays there, her home can stay safe and sound until the two kings decide otherwise. If we take that into consideration, she was almost like a hostage in the palace but she made sure to take every advantage of her role.

“You…” the elder prince spluttered furiously. He was apparently outraged and didn’t even know what to say after her fearless response. “You will get killed before your army can cross our borders,” he jeered at her with a wavering tone but to no avail. She was perfectly aware of the fact that it was an act out of defence, nothing more and nothing less.

Nevertheless, it was enough to scare Sanchul away, so he swiftly let go of his brother and leave the two children together. He disappeared so quickly, it seemed that he hadn’t even been there.

“Myungeun, are you okay?” Seokjin tumbled a bit to examine the aftermath of the prince’s violent act but she was really fine. She was only worried about him.

“I’m okay but you certainly broke our promise,” she whispered with a horrified flinch as she looked at his injuries. His face was covered in blood since his nose was still bleeding and he blurred his face with it like his skin was a canvas and his blood was his paint. He was really a beautiful mess.

“What promise?”

“You promised me that you will take care of yourself,” she reminded him gently and touched his left cheek. He backed away in an instant, both because his wound hurt and because he didn’t want her to touch him like that. Not when he’s covered in blood and literally on the verge of fainting.

“I will take care of myself from now on. I promise,” he bobbed his head but she wasn’t convinced. Instead, she took a step closer and hugged the little boy. It was only a childish hug with which she wanted to reassure him, telling him that she was there, no matter what happened and what he did. Love wasn’t in sight back then.

Nonetheless, she still got her hopes up and believed in his words. Again. But the first promise was already broken and more followed.

After seeing how his brother treated Myungeun and helplessly witnessing everything, Seokjin spent more hours learning sword fighting and martial arts than he had ever done before. His father didn’t even notice how he sneaked into abandoned rooms, diligently studying with the help of hidden notes from the palace’s library and practising over and over again.

He was lucky because when it once came to his usual practice in the afternoon, one of the martial arts’ teachers who worked with his brothers in the palace, caught him in the middle of his act and offered to teach him properly. He wasn’t allowed to train with his brothers because his father claimed that it wouldn’t do any good to the royal family. It wasn’t a surprise though as he didn’t even look at Seokjin like he was his son. From the day Seokjin was born, he was labelled as a scourge. He didn’t even know why Bang Sihyuk-ssi decided to help him.

However, with the said martial arts master, he finally had the chance to learn all the tricks that he needed in order to protect himself. Nonetheless, every learning is a process, so it came as no surprise that at first, he still couldn’t put into practice what he had learned. He wasn’t strong enough. He knew that it wasn’t merely psychological; he wasn’t mentally prepared to fight back. He would have to go against his own rules if he wanted to overcome his fear of hurting others.

Due to the fact that he was still a newbie, he could easily end up in the larder with the lovely Myungeun who was trying to patch him up. Of course, the doors were locked, they were all by themselves. Not even the chef knew about their secret hide-out.

“Why do people hurt others?” the little boy asked innocently while Myungeun was putting some kind of a leaf on his bruised skin. It hurt him like he was walking on fire but he tried not to show it. The girl was risking her own status in the palace while helping him, so he didn’t want to put an even heavier weight on her shoulders.

“I’m afraid I don’t know the perfect answer to that question,” the princess shook her head with an apologetic smile. Even though he was in pain, just seeing that smile of hers or looking into her hickory-brown eyes made him forget about all the misery in the world. “I don’t know the reason behind people’s hate. I think in a way we all try to find our place in this tangled world, chasing after shooting stars and wishing upon them like they would really make our dreams come true. When things don’t go according to our plan, we panic, we blame others and we try to hate someone instead of hating this unknown mystery that some call fate, some call destiny,” she whispered to make sure that no one could hear them while she placed some herbs on his scarred skin. He flinched at the sudden searing pain but pressured his lips and endured the pain. It was still better than being beaten up by his own brother.

Apart from the green leaves, her words felt like a kind of medicine, too. Not just his body but his heart was also screaming for help; when his misery seemed unbearable, she was there. Every single time. Not just this one. She definitely kept her promise.

“How can you be so smart?” Jin blurted out and the princess couldn’t help but giggle at his adorable question. Her laughter sounded like a lullaby told by beloved mothers – it was precious for him because he never once heard anything like this before.

“I’m not smart. I just read a lot,” Myungeun emphasised with a cocky smile. She gently wrapped a bandage around his wrist and pulled down the sleeves of his hanbok. Then, she let out an aghast sigh and looked at him with the most affectionate pair of eyes that he had ever seen. He was certain from the twinkles and the little backflips in that infinite abyss that she was pure, humble and most importantly: honest.

“I had the time to read as I was locked up in my room since I was born. My father didn’t want me to cause trouble that could lead to him losing the crown, so he made sure that all of his heirs were kept close to him. They even killed some of my brothers because he accused them of treason. If we take that into consideration, I’m lucky to be alive,” she trailed off at the end, her voice a bit shaky. The bittersweet aftertaste still lingered in his mouth when he decided to speak up. Maybe her confession triggered him to confess as well.

“I wish I was dead.”

“Ah, don’t say that, Jin,” the girl’s eyes widened in shock, her lips pursed into a thin lie. She didn’t hesitate to sit down beside him as soon as she heard his wish. A moment later, she reached for his hand and he didn’t have the heart to swat it away. Despite the fact that he wasn’t worthy of her touch, he let her hold his hand and draw invisible circles on his pale skin. If there was someone who wanted to leave traces on him, he wanted her to be that someone. “You are so special to this world,” she added lovingly, her eyes full of precious little raindrops that people looked after a terrible drought.

“How?” Seokjin cried helplessly. “I’m not smart, I’m not handsome and I’m not even strong. I’m nothing while my father wants me to be everything,” he said and felt as the weight was lifted off of his chest. Given that he had no friends in the palace and he couldn’t talk to his relatives either, he really had no one to turn to when something was bothering him. He was young, scared and lonely. Until Myungeun appeared in his life like a shooting star on a sultry summer day, he was lost in this world. Now that she was with him, he wanted to find his place but didn’t know how.

“You are smart, you are certainly handsome and you are so strong. If not physically, then mentally. Just because you can’t see it, it doesn’t mean that it’s not true,” she tried to reassure him but to no avail. He could always find something to prove her wrong.

“How can I believe in all of what you've said when all I did was reprimanding myself and finding flaws and weaknesses?”

“It’s time to change your way of thinking,” she stated sadly as he yanked his hand away from hers. He saw the disappointment in her eyes but he couldn’t help. He was disgusted of himself, of his weaknesses and childish worries. He hated his whole being, his fragile body and his inability to do anything to protect himself but most of all, to protect the only people who cared about him; his future wife. He didn’t want to push her away but he was afraid that she might get hurt if she stays with him. Nevertheless, she was too adamant, so she stayed.

“It’s not selfish to accept and love yourself, Jin. You shouldn’t think less of yourself but you should think of yourself less.”

“But it’s so hard when I’m the 7th prince of Goreyo and everyone hates me,” he flung his arms in the air in frustration. His life was a mess and he was destined to die as Goreyo’s hidden prince that no one knew about yet everyone wished to forget. He accepted his fate, so why couldn’t she do the same? “And I’m also afraid that I will become a narcissist if I believe you,” he confessed, his voice barely audible. That was what terrified him the most; the change. What if he would overdo it and become someone like his father? Become a merciless, heartless and narcissistic dictator. He didn’t want that. He would rather die than become someone like King Wanggun.

“You won’t become a narcissist. I promise you,” Myungeun flashed a reassuring smile and soothed his nerves a little. Maybe he didn’t believe her but until she was with him, he wanted to - at least – try to believe her.

“Pinkie promise?” he raised his eyebrows in question but she nodded without hesitation.

“Pinkie promise,” she reached for his hand and intertwined their pinkies.

Little did they know that it was another promise that was meant to be broken.

In order to reach the top of the mountain, you need to fight against snowstorms, you have to get up after you fall down and you need to be patient and stay strong. No matter what happens, you have to stick to your goal and keep going.

Just like climbing a mountain, living a life as the 7th prince of Goryeo was exhausting and unpredictable. Kim Seokjin was already said to be a waste when he was born and he proved to be even more useless as time went by. Or at least, that’s what his family thought. That’s what the palace’s servants assumed. On the other hand, there was this one special person who didn’t care about the stigma around him; who didn’t believe the gossip and who didn’t even get scared when he got slapped for taking the prince’s side. Myungeun was his last ray of hope but she not only painted his starless, grey sky scarlet-red like her cheeks when she heard a compliment from him but also sent stars that he could wish upon. One by one, beside her, every of his wishes came true.

Seokjin apparently changed but in the best possible way. He wasn’t that lanky, physically weak little boy that he was at the age of 12. He was a well-built, strong and outstandingly tall young man, on the threshold of adulthood. He was now the 2nd prince since 5 of his brothers had already died before he turned 19. One was killed by an assassin from Silla, one was poisoned in the palace by another one who hang himself up with a rope after he had killed his brother, the 4th prince was actually killed during a revolt between the people of Goryeo and the people of Silla while the previous 2nd prince died of heart-attack.

It wasn’t peculiar though. It was actually natural for the royal family to die out like that, however, it was detrimental for the boy who was growing up beside them, witnessing some of the cases with his own eyes and bearing the consequences of their death. He should have been delighted because his brothers didn’t abuse him anymore since he learned how to fight them back and since they were already dead. Nonetheless, all he felt was fear. He was terrified that the Crown Prince would also die soon and he has to take his place. Which means that as soon as his father - who was sicker than ever - steps down the throne, he has to take it. He didn’t feel ready to take over the kingdom at the age of 18.

He was quite sure that the King had planned something against Silla as a revenge for the previous revolt between the two kingdoms’ citizens but he didn’t want to think about it further until he really had to. Therefore, he lived his life as usual, not even changing his behaviour around Myungeun.

“What do you think will happen now?” asked Myungeun one day as she was walking in the palace’s garden with the 2nd prince of Goryeo by her side. The garden looked flawless in the dim light of the spring evening, scenting like a bouquet of her most beloved flowers.

The girl became a mature, wise young lady, despite the fact that he always knew that she was intelligent. Yet, he never really realised that he would see her turning into a real woman by having curves, losing her baby cheeks and smiling like an angel all the time. The joyful twinkle never left her brown orbs, she was just as beautiful now as she was when they first met – if not more. Honestly, he couldn’t compare her to her old-self because she was really a child then and she was a woman now. A woman with all the beauty and love in this world. The definition of humility.

“I don’t know,” Seokjin shook his head and looked down at his intertwined hands. “If the negotiation goes according to plan, nothing extraordinary will happen. However, if it doesn’t go according to plan, we may have to be ready for a war,” he concluded wearily, letting out a heavy-hearted sigh.

The Crown Prince was currently trying to reach an agreement with the king of Silla in order to secure the barriers. He had to take this responsibility on because the king of Goryeo was so sick that he couldn’t even leave the palace. He could hardly move, yet the outside world was led to believe that he was on a political trip to Southern Tang to seal a deal with Emperor Liezu. Taking everything into consideration, providing the current unstable situation of the later three kingdoms, Seokjin wasn’t sure that the negotiation would go as smoothly as they wanted to.

“I wish we had more peaceful times to live in,” Myungeun confessed sadly as she looked at the blossoming cherry trees, getting immersed into the scenery and the serenity of the park.

“We can’t choose when we live but we can choose who we spend our life with,” the prince added absent-mindedly but his words had quite an effect on her. The young lady came to a halt and turned to face him. Her lips were wavering and the expression on her face was one that he had never seen before. The sudden seriousness made his heart leap because he knew that she didn’t easily lose her temper or let her emotions come to surface. What happened now that she was on the verge of crying? Did he say something wrong?

The moment Myungeun opened her mouth to say something, a masculine figure showed up at the gate of the park and swiftly made his way to the two of them. They were both so in their little worlds that they didn’t even notice when the commander-in-chief – Lee Junghwan - ran up to them. Not until he addressed the prince did it finally dawn on them that he was there.

“Your Highness, we have news.”

“Tell me, Junghwan-ssi. What happened?” Seokjin raised an eyebrow at the commander-in-chief who looked like he had just finished a long run. He was quite short of breath but he insisted on telling them the whole story.

“The Crown Prince is dead,” he gulped and paused on purpose. Myungeun’s hands flew to her mouth in shock while Seokjin threw a flinch. He wanted to say that he didn’t see the tragedy coming but he actually did. The news was hard to bear but the continuation was harder. “He was killed by a soldier from Hubaekje. We were fighting against the army of Silla when we saw the flag of Hubaekje and we thought that they would help us but they didn’t. They were on Silla’s side,” he announced, his stare darting between the prince and the princess.

Both of them were utterly shocked. Myungeun couldn’t even dare to say anything. She felt ashamed. She felt trapped. The worst thing was that she felt betrayed. Even though she was aware of the fact that at times like this, deals didn’t mean a thing. Yet, she wanted to believe that if the deal concerning their marriage could be kept for 6 years, they wouldn’t break it now. She feared the consequences since her people were the ones who made the tables turn. Her father’s words suddenly crossed her mind: “If things go wrong, you can get killed, you can be used or sold.” Whatever was awaiting for her, she didn’t feel ready. Last but not least, she didn’t want to let Seokjin down.

“The King must be angry,” the boy blurted out and Junghwan bobbed his head in agreement. They knew each other for a long time, Seokjin still remembered the time when Bang Sihyuk introduced him to the new commander-in-chief and their friendship lasted until now. The only thing that was still a barrier between them was the honorifics. Junghwan persisted on using appropriate and long forms and although Seokjin hated being called Your Highness, he let him call by that name. After all, Junghwan was his friend and friends can make such deals, right?

“Actually, he’s not well. Since he received the news, he has fainted several times. He asked to see and that’s why I’m here,” the commander-in-chief pointed it out and let that sink in for a moment. The prince – the new Crown Prince – took a deep breath and repeated the action several times. He was more than anxious, he was on the edge, he was out of his mind. His thoughts were running crazily, his heart was beating like never before and his whole life seemed to collapse like a house of cards.

Yet, he didn’t want to show it. If he showed it, he would have to face reality. On top of that, reality was always cruel to him.

“Thank you, Junghwan-ssi. I’ll go into the palace,” he bowed in respect and put a friendly hand on his shoulder. “Take your time to rest a bit,” he looked into his friends’ eyes, making sure that he was doing what he asked him to do. Seokjin was delighted to see him in one piece, therefore he didn’t want him to overwork himself after such a terrible day.

Junghwan obeyed him - as an inferior and as a friend would do - as he bid his goodbye with one last smile and headed to the palace.

“I’ll wait for you here until you get back,” Myungeun cleared her throat after the other male had left and her strained voice snapped him back to his senses. He saw the hesitation running across her face, her ambivalent emotions apparent in her gestures. She had no idea what to do and he had no idea how to help her. It was the best if he went to talk to his father. After that, he might know what will be her fate.

“That might take a long time,” Jin reminded her but she merely shook her head. She was more adamant than ever and said with a confident yet scared smile:

“I know but I will still wait.”

“I will come back,” he promised her and without giving a second thought, he put his arms around her waist and hugged her. Gently, soothingly, affectionately. He touched her like it was their last time, like it was already their goodbye. Maybe it really was. At least, things were never the same after this day. Kim Seokjin was never the same after the death of the previous Crown Prince.

He promised that he would come back but he didn’t. Myungeun waited for long hours in the garden but he was already discussing possible attacks with the commander-in-chief when she decided to head into the building.

She couldn’t help but wonder why all of their promises were meant to be broken sooner or later?

The king was paler than ever when Seokjin entered his room. He was laying on his bed, covered with sheets. The boy predicted that he would look ill but he never even dared to assume that his father would look this ill. He could clearly see the navy-blue and mulberry-like veins through his skin; they were like oddly connected lines on a parchment paper.

When the king heard the door closing, he opened his eyes and looked at the sudden visitor. He acknowledged the boy’s presence with a firm nod and motioned him to come closer. Seokjin obeyed him and crouched down beside his bed. He seemed even more ill from up close.

“I’ve heard you wanted to see me, Your Majesty,” he started speaking, using the honorifics that he was taught to use, even with his father. Considering that the royal family didn’t consider him a relative, it wasn’t actually a surprise.

“Seokjin…” the king whispered, his voice terrifyingly raspy and somewhat dry. He looked like he was about to pass out any moment but the boy wasn’t taken aback. The royal medical man had informed the family that the king was a victim of poisoning. Someone must have put something in his food or he might have touched something that was actually contagious. Not even the psychiatric knew what had happened exactly. It was an unknown mystery to all of them.

“Yes, Your Majesty?”

“I want you to be king,” he stuttered feebly. He wasn’t his usual powerful self. He was really a dying old man; he was just like a servant who was about to see miseries of the underworld. After all, death didn’t make a difference between peasants and royals; it came to collect them, no matter their age, gender or status.

King Wanggun’s words didn’t even surprise him. He was well aware of the fact that he was the eldest of the heirs who were apparent to the throne and since he received the news of the Crown Prince’s death, he knew that he should better be prepared for a possible coronation.

What really struck him was the following:

“I want you to take over Hubaekje and Silla and create a united kingdom. That’s my last wish and as my son, I want you to fulfil it. You must fulfil it!” he emphasised with a sudden strike of energy and left Seokjin absolutely devastated.

He had no idea that his father was planning to take over the other two kingdoms as he had made a deal with both parties. In Silla’s case, it was a plain contract that ensured that they wouldn’t generate hatred between the two kingdoms, therefore no war or riot was permitted between their people. Not to mention that in Hubaekje’s case, it was his marriage with Myungeun! He may not have been 19 years old yet but a deal was a deal, he couldn’t disregard the rules, no matter what happens. Not just for the kingdom’s sake but also for Myungeun’s sake!

“But how, father? We had made a deal with both Hubaekje and Silla! How can I ignore them?” he cried helplessly but his father merely shook his head.

“Deals are meant to be ignored. They exist only until one of the parties changes their mind. Now, it’s going to be you,” the king said matter-of-factly as he vigorously grabbed the collar of Seokjin’s hanbok and brought him closer. He could see the insanity in his eyes; his orbs were filled with tons of dying stars. Red ones, bathing in the void. He was almost like a monster, there was nothing humanlike left of him. There was no need to romanticise it anymore; he was apparently on the verge of dying.

“Or you want them to make the first move and take advantage of a weak kingdom with a kid as their king? You want them to use you and your stupid bond with that girl?” he spluttered furiously, his voice gradually rising.

He was almost screaming when he mentioned that girl and Seokjin couldn’t have been angrier than that. Myungeun had been living with the royal family for 6 years and his father still couldn’t remember her name? On top of that, their bond wasn’t stupid! It was the only thing that prevented him from ending his own life when he felt like there was no reason for him to live through another day.

Reckless young man he was, he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

“But our marriage is based on that deal and Hubaekje didn’t do anything to be conquered! They kept their words, why can’t we?”

“Our nation will become stronger but only if we unite the later three kingdoms. You could try asking them to let you take over their territory but they wouldn’t agree,” he concluded with no fear in his voice. A moment later, he started coughing again and Jin caught sight of blood on his sleeves. He coughed up blood and that could only mean one thing; death was near him. “Please, Seokjin! Make your father’s wish come true. You could make history, you are capable of doing so! I would be so proud of you if you united the later three kingdoms,” the older man now begged him and held his hands so tight that the young boy was afraid that he might break his bones.

The words left a bittersweet aftertaste in his mouth. Proud. His father had never once said that he was proud of him. Yet, all he wanted his father to do was to say some nice words to him, to acknowledge that he was his son. That he was worthy to be called the son of King Wanggun. It was like a dream coming true! He could finally make his father proud. But for what sake, came the question. Should he really conquer the two kingdoms and create a new and stronger country? Would he really be capable of such a horrendous thing?

He would. His father told him the exact same thing a second ago and even Myungeun reassured him that he would make a remarkable king. He had to make both of them proud. He had to make the nation proud. If someone couldn’t see that it was for the sake of a better and stronger country, they would definitely have to change their mind-set.

“I will do it, father. I will make you proud,” Seokjin announced fearlessly and that was enough for his father. With one last smile – or to be precise, a trace of a smile – he had passed out and never woke up again.

Nonetheless, Seokjin was more determined than ever. He immediately went to Junghwan to start talking about how they were supposed to surprise Silla in the first place and take over the dynasty. The commander-in-chief tried to talk some common sense into him but to no avail. He was on the edge; if he could, he would immediately go to the battlefield, just to make his father proud. If he couldn’t do it while King Wanggun still lived, he would do it after he had died. Either way, he would make his father’s dream come true.

After Junghwan, Seokjin rushed to discuss his coronation with the royal family’s counsellor. His mother had died a year ago, so there was no need to ask for her permission. His brothers were even younger than him, so they didn’t have a say in the matter.

Now, he only needed to talk to Myungeun and persuade her to assist him with his mission to unite the kingdoms. He was sure that he could convince her if he mentioned a better and stronger nation with all the later three kingdoms and their people. There was no need to shed blood if she agreed to help him.

Yet, a promise was a promise. Unbeknownst to him, Myungeun had already promised her people – the people from Hubaekje – that she would protect them, even if it costs her own life.

In the end, it did. She died for her people. Not for Kim Seokjin like she had always imagined.

🙝 7 🙞

The coronation took place the day after the king had died.

It wasn't a solemn, grandiose event as most of the servants were still mourning over the loss of the previous king. Not to mention that apart from Myungeun, nobody believed that he would make an appropriate ruler for several reasons. First of all, he was young, he was only 18 years old. Secondly, he was never considered to be a royal member, so they didn't prepare him for the duties of a king. Everyone claimed that he wouldn't make it. He would wither away like a cherry blossom petal being destroyed by the stormy wind.

Nevertheless, the coronation took place without any inconveniences and Kim Seokjin was now the king of Goryeo. Servants started to look at him in a different way and even his three younger brothers seemed to fear him as he was walking past them. They even crouched down before him without any kind of hesitation and tried to avert their eyes elsewhere but his face.

Even though he was told that a single status wouldn't make a change and even if he was the king he wouldn't be treated differently, everything proved this theory wrong. Yet, he believed in those lies until he saw the opposite with his own eyes. Everyone acted like he was really a new person and it fuelled his will to make his father proud and unite the later three kingdoms. He seemed unstoppable and no one, not even Myungeun was able to snap him back to his senses.

"Where are you going, Jin?" she inquired one afternoon – right after the coronation. She looked absolutely flawless in her beautiful hanbok which was made for the special occasion. She was wearing it the whole day, making it hard for him to concentrate. She looked lovely in pink and it reminded him of the times when he first said that she should wear more pink because the light colour really suits her. He was only 14 at that time and didn't care about such things as seduction or lust. However, now that the hormones were working in him, he sometimes wished that he hadn't said it all those years ago.

"I am about to unite the later three kingdoms. It was my father's last wish which I ought to fulfil," he admitted right away and not until he said his plan out loud did it finally dawn on him that Myungeun didn't even know about the conversation between him and his father. At least not until he blurted it out himself.

"Jin..." her voice trailed off and his name sounded so brittle. She was so shocked that her mouth couldn't even form words. That innocent boy who couldn't even kill a bug for the sake of his brothers' wishes wanted to rule over the later three kingdoms? Even though she knew that parents could really leave an impact on a child and its mind-set, especially in the royal families, could that lovely little Seokjin really change that much? As far as she knew, he never loved his father, so why would he want to fulfil his wish? Which wasn't just outrageous and absolutely bold but also dangerous.

"I have to do it, Myungeun," he shook his head and it was more like he tried to convince himself, not the girl in front of him. "There's no other way that I could make my father proud."

"You only do it because you want to make him proud?" she couldn't help but flinch at his choice of words. Since when did his father's words mean so much to him? Since when did his wish was primary, more important than the need of his kingdom's people and its prosperity? Since when did he care about his father?

"No," the King answered fervently but his voice obviously shook a little. Myungeun looked puzzled and tried to scan him from eye to toe. He really looked more confident, more ready to be a king but it looked like he was fighting with himself. He wasn't in peace with his own mind and the hurtful sight bothered her. She never really saw him this way.

"I also do it for the people of Goryeo. This is the only way we can make our name known and engraved into history. People will know who we were but only if we do what seemed impossible until now," he explained almost maniacally, totally immersed in his own words.

The expression on his face was anything but scared. How could he change so much in one day? The question got Myungeun thinking. Seokjin was no longer the boy he used to know. She would swear that he would never become someone like his present self. It turned out that she was wrong all along.

"Are you about to seal a deal with Silla and persuade my father to unite the kingdoms?" she whispered cautiosly, although she assumed - somewhere deep down - that he wouldn't bob his head. Something in her guts told her that it was only a foolish dream of a child and neither of them were children anymore. Or at least, not at heart.

Just as expected, Seokjin didn't nod in agreement.

"No," the devastating word left his mouth, suffocating the girl who felt like holding the weight of three kingdoms on her shoulder.

"Are you about to take over the two monarchies by taking lives and killing innocent people?" she inquired boldly, nibbling her lips in impatience.

Oh how she wished she hadn’t got her hopes up! The expression on Jin’s face could tell more than thousands of words; the sight was more than heart-breaking. He looked like he was hurt by her words, like he couldn't believe that she dared to assume that he was capable of killing people. Yet, in an instant, the innocent glint in his eyes changed and instead of the usually affectionate brown orbs, they were like wood on fire; burning and burning, not afraid to hurt others and not afraid to be burnt themselves, too.

"If that is what's necessary," he shrugged his shoulders like he was talking about a mere game, not the lives of thousands of people.

"What has gotten into you, Jin?" she cried out frantically, unable to mask her emotions. Maybe people expected her to be nonchalant to political issues but it was because she was still a minor, therefore she was taught that she didn’t have a say in the matter. However, tables turned in a blink of an eye and she was now on the verge of becoming the wife of the King of Goryeo. The coronation only involved Jin’s inauguration, nothing more. Her fate was still unknown.

"You would never say something like this before," she reminded him but to no avail. His expression didn't change a single bit, if only it got darker and more adamant than ever. Her heart churned with worry. What was she supposed to do? Should she throw all those years that they spent together out of the window? Oh no, she couldn't let it happen, so she had to talk some sense back to him. If not politically, then morally.

"Please, Jin, come back to your senses! You wouldn't want to do that to all those people. Try to find a way to save those innocent lives. I'm sure Silla would do anything to avoid picking a fight with Goryeo and I could also talk to my father," she suggested naively and her biggest fault was that she believed that what she said could be true – Seokjin could still change his mind. She couldn't see at that time that the world was the definition of cruelty and the royal family was the best example for that.

"I have to do this, Myungeun. They wouldn't let me take over their kingdoms, you know that well," he reasoned gently, his voice suddenly filled with sympathy. He even took a step closer to her and touched her shaking hands.

She was absolutely flabbergasted by the sudden skin-ship as something like this was rare between the two. It only happened when they were careless and their arms accidentally brushed each other's or when they were pressed together in a crowd. Seokjin had never tried to touch her so freely before.

"Please, understand me," he pleaded as he took her hands in his. "As the king of Goryeo, I only want the best for my people. That's the most important rule that I have to keep in mind."

"You can't possibly think that sending them to war only to get killed as targets would be the best solution!" Myungeun counter-attacked and yanked her hand away from his. She didn't want to be harsh but she didn't know the boy in front of her. It wasn't Seokjin, that light-hearted child who asked her not to call him by honorifics during their very first conversation. The one who picked colourful flower bouquets for her from the palace's garden, even though he got in trouble because of his little gifts. The one who learned martial arts just to make sure that he could protect Myungeun and himself as well. Where was that boy anymore?

"People need to be killed for greater purposes and you can also help to make that come true."

"I won't help you," she gritted her teeth and took a step back. She wasn't interested in his plans provided it was about taking the lives of innocent people. Even if it meant that it cost her life, she wouldn't want to join him. This Seokjin wasn't the one that she wanted to support.

"Don't do this, Myungeun!" Seokjin let out an aghast sigh. "You are smarter than this. If you cooperate, you and your loved ones won't get hurt. I can promise you that they will be safe," he added but she couldn't believe him anymore. More promises were broken than it was necessary and she was tired of being the one who had to suffer its consequences.

"Can you promise that my people won't get hurt?" she raised an eyebrow challengingly. The King had to think twice.

"If you mean the people from Hubaekje... then, I can't promise you that. However, if they cooperate, no one will get hurt," he flung his arms in the air in defeat but she already made her decision.

"Even if I have to die with them, I will day as the princess from Hubaekje, not as a business partner of Goryeo," she confessed without hesitation, making Seokjin more than displeased with her words.

"Then, I'll see you on the battlefield, I guess," he concluded with a fathomless smile and turned around to leave the room. As soon as he closed the door, Myungeun burst into tears.

She knew that he couldn't keep his promise. There was no way that all her relatives, herself and even Seokjin could make it out alive.

🙝 8 🙞

The road to the unison of the three kingdoms was crueller and more demanding than he had ever imagined.

It all started with a one-month preparation and a sly distraction to make sure that Silla wasn't prepared for the sudden attack. On top of that, he had never been in a war before, so he had to make sure that he and his soldiers were well-trained, let it be sword fighting, martial arts or archery. He knew how to ride a horse, therefore that couldn't be seen as a drawback. Yet, he had never tried doing archery and riding a horse at the same time but it was a must when someone was in a war – in other words, when it was a matter of life and death. He was glad that his former martial arts master − Bang Sihyuk − was the one who taught them the basics, even though he didn't seem like he really wanted to be there.

There was just something in his eyes that justified that preparing the soldiers to attack the people of Silla and then the people of Hubaekje was the last thing that he wanted to do. He was satisfied with their progress, however, he didn't look happy at all. That's when Seokjin realised that happiness and satisfaction weren't synonyms. They could be present at the same time but delightfulness didn't necessarily result in satisfaction and vice versa. His mission was to make his father proud. So could he ever be happy with the outcome? Or he just had to be proud of the result and that's all? Was there anything that he could gain from this annexation?

He didn't know the answer but he couldn't stop. He had to fulfil his father's last wish. If he wasn't a good son when the previous king was still alive and he considered that he wasn't worthy to be a part of the royal family, he would have to prove to him now that he was willing to do everything to make history because of his father.

Of course, he also doubted his abilities since he was only an 18-year-old kid who had to take responsibility for a nation when the sudden role was forced onto him the moment his father died. Plus, he had never been in any kind of fight before, he didn't have to deal with political issues and he didn't have to think twice whether he was taking a step forward. To make matters worse, he wasn't alone. Not anymore. The weight of a whole nation and the reputation of the Kim dynasty was on his shoulders.

He had to make plans as soon as possible and as efficiently as possible. Even the one-month preparation was risky since anyone could ascend the throne without his permission. Therefore, he had to leave someone behind who would make everyone believe − even his relatives − that he was there, locked up in his room, trying to get over the loss of his father and making plans for a better and stronger Goryeo. So he asked Junghwan to take his place and even though the commander-in-chief was reluctant at first, due to their long friendship, he wanted to help him. In spite of his lack of knowledge concerning the King’s plans, he trusted Seokjin. Little did he know that he trusted the old Seokjin. Not the new, cruel one.

Everything was settled, so the plan could go on. After the one-month preparation, they were finally ready to attack Silla. The war lasted for two weeks straight. Seokjin had never seen so much blood before. It was different when he saw his own blood on his hands but when he saw others' blood on his hands, he was terrified at first. Physically, he was prepared to fight against people and see others dying but so much blood had been shed in this war that he couldn't bear the sight after the first day.

As a result, he just let the trauma hunt him in his dreams and make him vomit when he couldn't take the pressure. He hated that he was so weak, so he decided that instead of letting his emotions all out, he would just suppress them. Like a bottle that one wanted to keep under the water despite the rules of physics, he didn't let the emotions come to surface. In order to do so, he ought to get rid of his human side; he rather became like a lifeless machine. One that didn't feel fear, neither joy nor gloom. One that didn't know the definition of pain or humility. And one that didn't know how to stop; the order was coded in him and there was no way that he disobeyed what he had to do. He had to succeed, even if it meant that he would have to sacrifice his whole life.

He saw blood everywhere. Crimson-red spots. Wine-like hands. Mahogany veins. Scarlet-red eyes. Cherry lips coloured with merlot lipstick. Even the stars were ruby-red. They cried fire brick tears. The rivers were painted rosy-coloured. His heart was like a red stone. Everything was red, bloody, lifeless, cruel red. Fathomless, invincible, fearless red. He became one with red. He was red.

Silla was now one with Goryeo.

As a result, the soldiers from Silla had to take their sides and assist them to take over Hubaekje. Seokjin couldn't stop there though. Not when he saw with his own eyes that he could really make a change; he could write a new chapter in the later three kingdoms’ history. He just couldn't come to a halt. The next destination was Hubaekje.

He couldn't wait to shed more blood. He was like a vampire now; if he couldn't put his hands on blood as soon as possible, he became even more evil, even more unbearable. He wasn't a human anymore, he was more like a monster. The only thing that kept him alive was pride.

Pride is there with all of us since we were born. Some of us are less likely to become narcissists and some of us are almost born as real egoists. Whereas we are all born with it, only the triggering factors can lead us to become haughty. And that triggering factor was the previous king's last words. All he wanted to have in his life was affection. All he wanted to hear that he made his father and his royal family proud. Was it too much to ask?

Hubaekje wasn't any different though. It seemed that the people were more prepared here but they could easily defeat them, too. It took them more than a month but they could defeat them.

They stayed the longest in Sabi, the capital of Hubaekje, where the Park dynasty and the most powerful soldiers were present. Unlike the rumours, Hubaekje’s army wasn't as talented as it was said to be. They fought with solemnity, pride and endurance but they were just like the people from Silla.

Except that Seokjin stopped right in his tracks when he noticed that he had just hit a familiar figure with his arrow. He was quite talented in archery but he had never imagined that he would hit someone right at the heart. The heart that once was beating for him.

"Myungeun..." his voice trailed off as he watched the girl falling off of her horse. She fell down like a little bird falling out of its nest − so slowly and innocently. She withered like the cherry blossoms at the end of the summer, saying goodbye to the world, becoming one with the ground where they were born.

Something panged in his chest while he was watching as her fragile body hit the ground. His suppressed human side found its way and his inner alarm went off. He didn't think it through when he got off his horse and ran to her. As soon as he reached her, he crouched down and started cradling her against his chest. She suddenly looked up at him, her face covered in crimson-red blood, her eyes filled with remorse and her once rosy-coloured cheeks now paler and scarred than ever. Her peachy lips were wavering.

"Myungeun, please..." he cried out helplessly but didn't exactly know what to say. Should he cry out for help? What would that say about him? What would his soldiers think? He couldn't forget that he was in the middle of a battlefield!

"Just let me go, Jin," she smiled a half-hearted and utterly sad smile, it was almost like the one before saying goodbye. The last goodbye. Their last goodbye. "I die as I always wished to be. I couldn't ask for more," she added with a hurtful flinch.

A second later, she coughed up blood and Seokjin knew by experience that she was really about to die. Yet, he couldn't think straight. His mind was blocked by flashbacks of his father who had died just like that. The exception was that he didn't kill his father with his own hands - or to be precise, with his own arrow. But he shot an arrow at her and it hit her heart. Exactly her heart.

"No, you can't."

"Why, Jin?" her voice rattled in her throat as tears were streaming down her face. Memories from their first encounter filled her mind, making her feel even more miserable. She didn't want to think about those times when he was still an innocent, light-hearted and naive boy who couldn't even defend himself, let alone annexe the three kingdoms. Those times looked so distant, so unfamiliar. It wasn't even him, she wished she hadn't even met him. The arrow that pierced through her heart didn’t only cause physical pain but emotional as well. "We broke all of our promises," she reminded him, coughing up some more blood.

Seokjin looked around frantically but he had to admit that Myungeun couldn't be helped. He knew that he was lucky that he hadn’t already gotten shot, even though the war seemed less bloody than before. Things started to cool down.

"I know I promised you that−" she stuttered quietly when she suddenly had to stop to clear her throat. The more she talked, the worse her condition got. Her tears and her blood didn't part ways, they rather became one, they went on like they were supposed to fuse.

"Don't talk, Myungeun,” he shushed the young girl who looked achingly beautiful, even on the verge of dying. “You will only make it worse," he warned her gently while he still didn’t move an inch from her dying body; he held her tight like he never wanted to let her go. Well, he didn't. Unfortunately, it was already too late. He realised only then and there, holding the fragile body of a dying soul that he loved her.

"That you won't become a narcissist," she finished her sentence that struck him like lightning. "I'm so sorry that I couldn't keep my promise," she mumbled in between little fists of laughter and apologetically smiled at him.

Just like the sun going down after shining brightly throughout the day, overcoming storms and defeating clouds, she also left this world as the most beautifully glowing creature on Earth. Her eyes unintentionally closed and her breathing slowed down until it stopped for good.

It was the first time after all those years that he could cry without being ashamed and with all the rawness he had bottled up inside. He could vividly recall the last time he cried; it was when Myungeun first shared how his father physically abused her. She was in his embrace, her tears painting the back of his hanbok, searing his paper-like skin and leaving unforgettable traces of her ever-growing kindness and fragility.

On the contrary, this time she was in his arms again with the deadly arrow that he had sent through her heart, saying sorry for one last time.

Not like she was the one who needed to apologise.

With summer comes great joy, but great dangers also lurk around almost every corner. Okay, the situation may not be as dramatic as I describe it, but the thing is, summer’s heat waves do present a clear and present danger to one’s health, especially in a survival situation.

The thing with summer is that almost all of us are gearing up for going out and experiencing epic adventures. Summer is vacation season and the best time of the year for businesses such as water parks, hot air balloon rides, bungee jumping resorts, para-sailing docks, and so on and so forth.

You see where this is going, right? Keep reading to find out!

Well, while you’re standing in line at any of these fine establishments, the thought that goes through your mind is probably, “This is how I’m going to die?”

Truth be told, this pessimistic state of mind is the logical consequence of years of horror stories pushed by the mainstream media, depicting terrifying accidents and misfortunes that people suffered during their summer holiday.

People died in all sorts of gruesome circumstances while having the time of their lives, i.e. when their hot-air balloon drifted into high-power lines, their parachute failed or their boat flipped at high speeds or on rushing rivers. Folks died or lost limbs while enjoying the ultimate ride at amusement parks or when hiking without proper training/guidance etc.

The nightmarish stories of good times gone bad go on and on.

And then there’s always death from exposure. To give you a grim statistic, heat exposure kills thirty outdoor workers on average on a yearly basis.

What we’re about talking here are agricultural, roofing, construction and landscaping workers; these folks are particularly at risk, especially during heat waves which promote heat-related deaths and illnesses such as heat stroke and heart attacks.

How will you survive when there is no doctor around?

Keep in mind that the elderly are particularly affected by heat waves and in some geographical locations (like Arizona), air conditioning is not a luxury, but a necessity.

#1 Killer in the Summer Is…

So, let’s begin with the biggest killer during the summer season, which is heat, obviously.

Prolonged exposure to heat – especially humid heat – would have immediate effects on one’s health and state of mind alike. Heat stroke and heat exhaustion are the most common issues associated with scorching heat, but sometimes the effects of prolonged exposure to excessive heat may take odd forms.

The most important thing one must realize during the summer is that dehydration is a killer. To stay properly hydrated, you should drink at least 2 liters of water per day (or approximately half a gallon), but that’s an average figure and it depends upon your age, gender, physical condition, and circumstances.

For example, you’ll require way more than 2 liters of water per day if you’re hiking in scorching heat or if you’re working out, rather than staying indoors in a house without air conditioning etc. That’s common sense, though.

If you don’t drink enough water to replace the loss of fluids which occurs via sweating, you’ll put your body in a state of emergency, as your body is losing salt and water and not getting enough electrolytes.

Salt, magnesium, and potassium imbalances caused by dehydration may cause cramps, cardiac arrhythmia, dizziness, and confusion – basically your brain doesn’t work right.

For people who aren’t used to heat, there’s also always the risk of heat edema and, worst case scenario, a fatal heat stroke when your body gives up and stops sweating. This occurs when you’re exposed to extreme heat for long periods of time and is called anhidrosis.

However, the most common problem that occurs during a summer heat wave is heat exhaustion.

Heat exhaustion is a consequence of one’s body losing significant amounts of salt and water; sans electrolytes, the body can’t cope with heat anymore. Salt and potassium are the two primary minerals that control your blood pressure and when you sweat, they’re two of the first that you lose.

Obviously, heat exhaustion and all heat related ailments are particularly dangerous in a survival situation, i.e. when you’re outdoors hiking, climbing, or whatever.

Heat exhaustion’s first symptom is when the core temperature rising above 98.6, your normal body temperature, resulting in intense thirst, heavy sweating, dizziness, and an overwhelming feel of fatigue. Your body is literally starting to cook.

The first thing that you need to do is get out of the heat if possible and hydrate, obviously. Avoid strenuous activities during the day in open sunny spots, especially if there’s a heat-wave warning.

Now, if heat exhaustion sets in, you must find a cool, shaded location and remove the victim’s clothes, including (especially) the shoes and socks then, apply wet clothes to the victim’s face, head, neck, and if possible, their feet.

Spray with cool water if possible. Encourage the victim to drink as much water as possible. Sport drinks (if available) are great, as they contain minerals and vitamins (the famous electrolytes included) together with sugar, which gives the body a boost but push water, too.

Try to get medical aid as soon as possible, especially if you spot the early signs of a heat stroke (way worse than heat exhaustion), which include:

profuse sweating or hot,

dry skin,

a core temperature of around 104 degrees F (or higher),

feeling cold (yes, it seems strange, but it’s a fact),

loss of consciousness, and/or seizures.

All of these symptoms are signaling that the body’s mechanisms for coping with heat have failed and he/she’s at the death’s door. Heat strokes are very serious as they have a mortality rate of about ten percent, and yes, people really do die in extreme heat conditions, and it’s not rare.

Most people who die during heat waves are elderly folk living in big cities in the upper floors of buildings, especially old, inadequately ventilated condo buildings. Just in the US, over 600 people die annually and thousands visit emergency rooms due to extreme heat conditions.

Since we’ve already established that heat is a silent killer, as the weather gets more extreme, avoid the main danger by staying out of the sun. If you’re outdoors on foot, avoid traveling during the day, and do it by night, like Bedouins.

If you find yourself traveling or lost in the wilds in the heat, drinking lots of water and covering your head and your entire body in white (best case scenario) sheets would go a long way toward preserving your body’s reserve of electrolytes if traveling during the day.

The rule of the thumb is that when your core temperature gets above 104 degrees Fahrenheit, you’re in serious trouble.

Obese and elderly people are especially vulnerable to heat, and small children have tiny hearts which are not always capable of cooling their bodies efficiently. Kids also have a slow sweat response, which puts them in danger in extreme situations.

And here are a few more hints on surviving the heat:

try to avoid caffeine and alcoholic beverages (they act as diuretics) during heat waves,

maintain a proper level of hydration at all times,

when indoors, try to eliminate extra sources of heat (computers and appliances left running, computers, etc.),

don’t eat big, protein-rich meals as they warm the body by increasing metabolic heat, be ready to recognize the early symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke and take action.

Beware the Dangers in the Water!

Another thing to keep in mind during the hot summer season is that jumping in public swimming pools, lakes and ponds are not the best ideas for beating the heat wave. You should think at least twice before diving in these cesspools, which are giant petri dishes by any definition, leaving aside that going into cold water when you body is overheated can bring on a heart attack.

Even chlorinated swimming pools are filled with chlorine-resistant bacteria (think Cryptosporidium, a bacteria living in the stomach, E.coli etc.) which can cause all sorts of disease, especially for people with immune issues.

Freshwater lakes and rivers are also home to a myriad of bacteria, viruses, and amoebas. All these tiny bugs that flourish in warm water may cause diarrhea and vomiting, which are exacerbating the dangers of dehydration, if you catch my drift.

And with dehydration, heat exhaustion and heat stroke are just around the corner, provided you don’t deal with it immediately. It doesn’t take more than a few minutes – less than 30 – for the situation to go from bad to worse if the conditions are right.

Besides the relatively harmless e Coli and Cryptosporidium, there are killer bacteria and viruses in lakes and rivers, which can infect you via water getting inside the nasal passage and then to the brain.

For example, Naegleria fowleri can cause a deadly infection of your CNS (central nervous system), called amoebic meningo-encephalitis.

There are dangers in paradise too, especially during the summer season when these places are packed full of people trying to relax and enjoy their vacations.

When Summer Turns into Disaster

The beach may look like paradise on Earth, but it’s not all fun and serenity. Beaches are also filled with dangers, and we’re not talking about heat stroke alone. Coastal areas in some parts of the planet are prone to tsunamis and others to hurricanes.

One may say that beaches are prime real estate when it comes to natural disasters, hence, stay frosty and learn your escape routes just in case disaster hits. Most coastal areas are using early warning systems including sensors which monitor storm and earthquake activity and issue hurricane/tsunami alerts.

Toxic algal blooms happen almost every summer in places like Florida, on its Gulf Coast especially. Algal blooms kill fish and shellfish and they also render them unsafe to eat. Remember to avoid eating shellfish and fish from areas affected by toxic algal blooms; also, avoid swimming in waters infested by these critters.

Even if shark attacks are relatively rare, keep in mind that where there are fish in the ocean, there also might be sharks, hence avoid swimming near fishing areas and also avoid murky waters and areas were fishing boats and diving sea birds abound.

It’s also important to remember not to swim alone, sharks or not, and never at dawn or dusk because that’s when sharks feed. Watches and jewelry gleam like fish scales in the water, so get rid of them.

Another danger for beach goers is rip currents, which may pull even the Olympic swimming champion away from the shore. These fast-moving currents of water kill at least one hundred people annually, especially at surf beaches, and those are just US figures.

If you’re caught in such a rip current, try not to fight it. Go with the current and swim parallel to the beach, and try to swim back to shore once you manage to pull out of the current. If that doesn’t do the job, try to float/tread water until the current stops and try to call for help.

Edge Sports Have Their Price

Parasailing is an awesome summer activity for thousands of Americans. If you’re not from this planet, parasailing means that you’re towed behind a boat using a parachute canopy while flying like Superman.

Even though this may sound safe as far as extreme sports go, the majority of fatal parasailing accidents occur as a result of high wind conditions. To play it safe, make sure the weather is friendly before engaging in such crazy activities, alright?

Scuba diving is another all-time favorite activity doing the summer season, but is plunging in deep blue waters safe? Well, pretty much yes, but there are caveats to that.

The most common causes of death during scuba diving are oxygen supply problems, cardiac issues, and emergency ascent. To play it safe when scuba diving, make sure you are prepared for the water and you’ve learned all the techniques from your instructor.

Next on the list is skydiving. Skydiving is immensely fun for those crazy bastards with no self-preservation instincts. I’m kidding, but yes, skydiving is becoming increasingly popular among certain folk during summer vacation.

Even though you’re more susceptible to death by a lightning strike or a bee sting than due to skydiving gone wrong, make sure to look for riggers, jumpers and pilots with proper certification before making the big jump into the abyss. The same goes for bungee jumping.

White water rafting is another dangerous summer activity and there are tons of potential hazards involved in this awesome water sport. To reduce risks associated with white water rafting, never boat alone, wear a life jacket and a helmet at all times, and don’t overestimate your skills.

If you’re a hot air balloon aficionado, make sure your ‘ballooner” has all the necessary paperwork and be aware of adverse weather conditions, especially wind, before getting in the basket.

Whatever you do during summer, stay safe and be aware of the dangers. Ultimately, learn your lesson about first aid and surviving without medical assistance. Click the banner below to get the knowledge!
