Beginning of the end

Valentine special pt 3

Final part!!

"Cale."

"...."

"Cale?"

"....."

"Cale Heni-"

"Kim Rok Soo, shut up or so God help me."

"You don't even believe in Gods!"

"Exactly! So just think how annoyed I am right now if I am swearing on one right now!"

Haaaaa. Sighing heavily, Kim Rok Soo tried to calm down. They were getting nowhere with this. "Cale," injecting more patience in his tone, he gave one more try. "You know you don't have to do this, right?"

Cale snorted. "Of course, I don't have to do this. I am Cale Henituse, the first born of the Duke of Henituse and the legal husband of the former Supreme Commander of the Allied For-"

"Ok, ok! I get it!" Rok Soo cut off Cale immediately.

"How do you react like that every single time?"

Rok Soo couldn't see Cale but he knew that the younger had a shit-eating smirk on his face. And probably looked gorgeous with that expression.

Grumbling once more, Rok Soo complained. "I have been sitting here for an hour now. My neck is cramping. Can we please take a break?"

For a moment there's no response and Rok Soo fears that he has lost the man to his work, when he feels the younger man shift. "You should whine like this when you are in public. Maybe then you can get your 'slacker-life.'"

Shifting back from his origin spot, Cale put some distance between him and the other man, before gently pulling Rok Soo to lie down with his head in Cale's lap. But, unlike usual, Rok Soo hesitates. Cale raised an eyebrow at that. "What's the matter?"

"Won't lying down ruin my hair? You have been working on a new style for a while now." The reason why Kim Rok Soo had been stuck in one position to the point of his neck cramping, was because his husband Cale Henituse had taken it upon himself to learn new hairstyles from Rosalyn and Eruhaben and literally every person with long hair he could get his hands on. These hairstyles would then get recreated on Kim Rok Soo whose hair length was just shy of his waist.

From simple everyday looks, to more dramatic looks, from something fun to something classy enough to wear to the balls and palaces. Cale had learnt them all.

Kim Rok Soo still remembered the day he had made the mistake of doing space buns on On. Cale had made Rok Soo show how to do the hairstyle and then did it for Rok Soo. Rok Soo rubbed his temples to get rid of the headache that threatened to grow as he recalled how many video recording machines had been shoved in his face that day.

Eventually they came to a compromise.

Cale could try as many hairstyles as he liked on Rok Soo two days a week. The more quirky ones would be limited for days when Kim Rok Soo didn't have any unwelcome activities or guests to deal with. Simple hairstyles were ok any day of the week. Cale could also do Rok Soo's hair for all the balls and parties and official events.

Cale had agreed to the conditions and so here they were- in their room, on their shared bed, with Cale trying new hairstyles that he had learnt from Jopis. Cale's eyes had sparkled the moment he had seen the styles. They were so elegant yet simple, and suited Kim Rok Soo perfectly.

However, trying them took a while.

Cale brushed away Rok Soo's worries and pushed him to lie down. "It's fine. I just sectioned your hair so I can work on them later. There's nothing much to ruin."
