Chapter 1 - Ache. (Chapter 1)

I'm Prince Youngjin Zuyn. {영진 주인}

Prince of the Mazuhin kingdom, How interesting..

I wasn't any ordinary prince, I was that type of Prince who seems.. weak.

I was feminine and slim, yet was loved by everyone.

I was thankful for that, i had a pet bird named, Qwit..

His favorite were worms of course.

What kind of bird that exists and doesn't like worms?

[Silence]

Actually i don't know.. I'm stupid myself anyway Haha..

[Youngjin Zuyn smiles to himself.]

I'm gonna end up dead if i don't find out what birds eat..

[Dead silence.]

Mhmm.

My head hurts i should atleast go and ask help from Jaeta..

He should atleast be able to help me right..

Yeah.. he will no worries, Worrywart Youngjin.

[Youngjin sighed.. before he starts walking wobbly towards the door of his bedroom to get out.]

"Nghn.."

Ughh.. Why did my head hurt so much?!!.. I feel like passing out!!

AGHHHH!!!

[Silence..]

"Jaeta, i need help.."

_______________________________________

[Youngjin Zuyn called out softly for Jaeta..]

———————————————————

Jaeta Yoon, {윤재타}

A guard who loved Youngjin very much and even teases the Prince.

He was atleast 2 years older than Youngjin.. Not bad.

But he continued his respect for Youngjin.

"Jaeta Yoon !! I said i need—"

[The door creaked open..]

And there was Jaeta Yoon.

Wait—He looks tired.. I-I didn't Wake him up.. DIDN'T I?!..

Ehem.. i'm sorry for overreacting..

[Youngjin Zuyn hits his head multiple times infront of Jaeta Yoon..]

"Whoa whoa—Hey stop hitting your head.."

Jaeta said to me softly.. Ugh. that damn tired voice..

"Fine.."

I exclaimed softly.

"What's wrong? did you need anything, Your highness?""

Jaeta asked me.. i sighed right afterwards..

How do i tell this prick that i came here because my head hurts?!

Forget about it. I'll just tell him anyway.. i need that head massage badly.

[Silence..]

"Well.. uhm. My head hurts, Jaeta.."

God damn.. i hope he doesn't laug—

[Jaeta Yoon softly laughs quietly.]

"Seriously? Is it because you punched your head, just earlier—"

__________________

"SHUT UP!!.."

Goddamn i just wanted to punch this dude in the face right now!!..

"It's not that, I—I swear!!!"

[Jaeta looked like he was about to burst out laughing]

"Your highness.. I'm not stupid, but maybe i'll consider that you punching your head isn't the problem."

[Jaeta smirked softly looking at Youngjin Zuyn.]

I felt like i was gonna explode.. This guy was testing my patience badly.

"Ugh fine."

I hope he doesn't laugh at this stupid reason, cause this is the actual reason this time!

"My head hurts because i thought of my bird liking worms then i questioned myself.."

[Pause]

"What kind of birds doesn't like wor—"

Before i could continue my sentence, i knew it.

HE BURSTED OUT LAUGHING.

"PWAHAHAHAH… HAHAHHAAHHA!!.."

Jaeta lost his breath due to laughing loudly, While i just stood there while my head starts to throb even more.

"Your highness, Are you serious—"

Before Jaeta Yoon could continue his sentence, I cutted him off with a firm, yet desperate voice.

"YES! I AM SERIOUS!!"

[Pause..]

"Just please.. My head is starting to throb even more and now it's worser please."

I stood there now trying to massage my own head.

While Jaeta Yoon stared blankly at the sight of me massaging my head.. Before he spoke up with a softer tone, and a less playful one.

"Your highness, Hey.."

I heard Jaeta's change of tone before looking at him infront of me.

"What?"

I asked, still massaging my head while looking at him.

"Come inside my room, i'll massage your head."

And what felt like an eternity.. FINALLY.

He offered for me to go inside his room and finally get that head massage i've needed from the start.

"..Yeah, okay."

I replied simply before following him inside, and then shutting the door behind us.

"Took you long enough for you to offer this.. My head hurts like it's hell now."

I don't know if i was being dramatic, but.. It really did hurt!

As if i was getting hit by a frying pan right at my head.

"I see.. It really hurts that bad huh?"

[Youngjin zuyn sighs.]

"What do you think, Jaeta.."

"Well, nothing much. Here, sit down and i'll give you the massage you need."

I've waited for who knows how long.. 30 minutes? 40 minutes..

Eh too long, How about 15 minutes.. Yeah, that could be it.

I wasted no time and sat on the edge of the bed to get my head massaged.

[Youngjin Zuyn sighs.]

As soon as i felt his hands massaging my forehead, I felt more relaxed.

I do hate Jaeta sometimes for taking too long.. but, I can't lie that i do need him for stuff like this.

[Comfortable silence]

It's been silent since earlier, My head got better atleast..

I didn't say anything, and i had let Jaeta massage my head this long.

[5 more minutes pass.]

I haven't realized that my eyelids were getting heavier..

I only realized it when Jaeta spoke up, Yet his hands never stopped that motion.

"Your highness?"

My eyelids softly opens as i heard his voice.. He broke the silence that's been going on for who knows how long?

"Nhmm.. Yeah?"

My answer was simple, as i kept myself relaxed in his very soothing massage motion..

"Are you feeling any better?"

Well.. I couldn't answer him due to how i was getting drowsy.

I mumbled something but Jaeta didn't seem to hear what i've mumbled with my own mouth.

"What was that, Your highness?"

Ughh.. i couldn't even bring myself to talk, can i atleast just nod for him to understand?

I'll give it a try and hope he understands that.

[Youngjin Zuyn softly nods—indicating that he felt more better than before.]

Jaeta looks at me before answering politely.

"That's great, Your highness.. You should tell me when i should stop massaging your head."

Jaeta's voice was calming me down abit.. But,

I'm glad he's smart enough to understand my nod..

If not i could've used force to talk myself, Force my mouth open..

[Thirty minutes later.]

I fell asleep without noticing, The time drifted so fast i couldn't even describe what it felt like.

His hands.. His fingers, It worked well on me.

I was fast asleep just because he massaged my head and asked me if i was feeling any better.

[Jaeta's perspective.]

He fell asleep?

I didn't know massaging can make seomone drowsy and then fall asleep..

Youngjin's my Prince, of course i'm always helping him out, Being playful with him.

But at times like these, I need to be serious and take care of him.

I can't let our Kingdom's king get hurt ever in his life.

I've never seen any intruders try and hurt him ever since i was hired as the head Knight, his guard.

All the other knights are useless—I

Fuck.. never mind.

I got way too lost in my thoughts, but..

I mean that i'll never hurt Youngjin, or let him get hurt.

It's my job, i've been protecting him for years. It would be abnormal if i haven't cared this much and been playful around him.

I need to snap out of this, I need to get him to his own room, Genuinely.

All i could hear was Youngjin's softly breathing and how he was leaning onto my chest while he was asleep.

I had he urge to press a soft kiss on Youngjin's forehead.. But no.

I can't do that when i have such respect for Youngjin.

Not because he's the Prince of the kingdom anything—Nothing like that.

It's just pure respect i have for Youngjin, I don't know what had gotten into me ever since..

I've met him, been his knight, his guard.

What will i do if i see Youngjin getting hurt badly?

What will i do if i see Youngjin with someone else?

What will i do if he meets a Princess from another kingdom and gets devoted to them?

Ugh. Snap out of it, Jaeta Yoon.

You're at no place to be having these what if thoughts.

You're just his knight and nothing else.

It ached my heart thinking of that, I was just a knight to Youngjin and nothing else.

This was more than hell for me, I need to handle my feelings and just have full on respect for Youngjin.

I can't left myself fall even deeper for Youngjin.

Neither i can't see him with anybody else too.

My weakness is him finding someone pretty, and never going back to me for attention.

He's straight isn't he.

Youngjin's a pretty boy.. but not all pretty boys are homosexuals, They're sometimes straight.

And what if you were straight, Youngjin?

What could i do without you seeking my comfort and help.

I am nothing without your presence and voice, Youngjin.

Thinking of this all makes me sick and makes me want to keep you to myself.

But due to my respect i have for you, I'm not keeping you away from others.

I want you to be free and find yourself someone that you will adore.

But deep down, I hope you don't.
