"Trying to escape little snake" said the dragon king. "Did you really think I would let you go that easily"
Tightening his hand on the robe beside heart little snake narrowed his eyes at the dragon.
"You..." He spoke through pain. "What have you d...
Ye Yun tried to focus on his work again, but who was he kidding?
"What was he thinking?" His grip on the brush tightened as the kiss replayed in his mind.
"Damn it" he muttered under his breath, slamming the brush onto the table as he stood up.
"Your Majesty." the maids and guards bowed as he left the study.
"Where are you leading to, Your Majesty?" one of the maids asked, hurrying after him.
"To take a bath." Ye Yun said flatly, striding down the corridor.
"But the Great Demon Lilun already-"
"No need to follow me" Ye Yun cut her off, his tone leaving no room for argument.
The maid stopped, exchanging glances with the others.
Ye Yun walked toward his private bath, the irritation in his chest growing with every step. When he arrived, he pushed open the doors without hesitation.
Inside, the soft glow of lanterns reflected off the steaming water, filling the room with a warm haze. Lilun was already in the bath, his pale shoulders above the water as he lazily rested his arms on the edge. He turned his head slightly when he heard Ye Yun enter.

"Yun ga?" Lilun said. "You want to bathe too?" His voice was as relaxed as ever, as if he hadn’t just kissed Ye Yun out of nowhere moments ago.
Without a word, Ye Yun took off his robes, leaving only his pants on, and stepped into the water. The heat seeped into his skin, but it did nothing to calm the storm inside him.
He moved closer to Lilun, who watched him quietly, his gaze steady and unreadable. Ye Yun gently cupped Lilun’s face, his thumb brushing softly over his cheek. Lilun lowered his eyes to the hand on his face, his expression still calm.
Ye Yun leaned in, and kissed him gently at first. Lilun responded, his lips warm and soft against Ye Yun’s. Encouraged, Ye Yun pulled him closer, deepening the kiss as their bodies pressed together.
When they finally pulled away, their breaths were heavy, and the heat of the moment lingered.
"Yun ga"Lilun called softly.
"Mmm?" Ye Yun answered, his thumb tracing Lilun’s lower lip.
"Do you need help?" Lilun asked, his hands sliding down to Ye Yun’s waist.
"Ah?" Ye Yun looked at him, confused.
"You look like you need help, like when I do" Lilun explained.
"So, would you like to help me?" Ye Yun asked softly.
"Of course. You helped me too." Lilun said confidently.
'So that’s all it is?' Ye Yun thought, his fingers tightening slightly on Lilun’s waist.
