16. rest

"You must be Prince Wonwoo. Nice to meet you, I'm Joshua Hong." The guy in front of Wonwoo spoke as Seungkwan stood up. "Shua? What are you doing here?"

Wonwoo was starstruck, the guy in front of him looked unreal, his curving lips into a smile, his cat-like eyes. Wonwoo loved cats, that madr him even better. He also knew Seungkwan? Even better.

"Oh, I heard from Mingyu, that you two won't let him go in his room! So cruel." Joshua joked as Seungkwan huffed. "We were letting him cool down since he was becoming a bit too impatient and—"

Joshua put a hand up, "Don't explain too much, just let the boy rest okay? Training won't happen tomorrow because of the tragedy." He waved, "I'll take my leave. Bye Seungkwan, Mingyu, and Prince Wonwoo." He bowed at Wonwoo and headed out of the quarters.

Seungkwan nodded, Mingyu coming inside as the girl stood up. "Can I go home? I promise I'll tell you everything I remember tomorrow morning." Wonwoo agreed and escorted her out of the kingdom.

Mingyu laid on his bed as he breathed in. He just cried, broken cries seeped out of him and into his pillow as he gripped the pillow. Seungkwan was worried, patting Mingyu's back. "Mingyu, I'll let you rest, you need it."

He got up, heading to the door as Mingyu sniffled. "Kwan-ah, wait!" Mingyu shouted, straining his voice as Seungkwan whipped back around. Sitting next to him and rubbing his back.

"You need to sleep Gyu, today has been a lot." Seungkwan mumbled while Mingyu faced his bodyguard. Pouting as Seungkwan pressed a kiss to his forehead. Mingyu blushed and smiled as Seungkwan turned back around.

"C'mere Boo!" Mingyu pulled Seungkwan's arm back and wrapped the smaller in his arms. Seungkwan felt his heart beat faster than someone running a marathon. Mingyu hummed as he tucked the both of them into bed.

Seungkwan felt drowsy, his closed his eyes as the night took them both. Mingyu sleeping and snuggling into his nape. He couldn't help but smile a little, letting his eyes close while he was in the warmth of the Prince.

The birds chirped as the bodyguard awoke, lifting his head up and seeing Mingyu above him. He was laying on Mingyu's chest. Oh god it was so comfortable.

Seungkwan sat up, letting the sun soak in his clothes as Mingyu grumbled. Cuddling closer by pulling Seungkwan by the waist. "I feel better." He smiled softly, his chapped lips wrapping into a smile. Seungkwan felt lighter. Yesterday was horrible.

"Let's get ready for breakfast. They're probably waiting." Seungkwan attempted to slide offf the bed as Mingyu let out a whine, pulling the other back in bed.

"Mingyu-ah c'mon, you're probably hungry and going to be crowned king soon." Seungkwan rubbed Mingyu's bare skin on his arm. Mingyu pouting and sitting up. "Okay fine Kwan, let's eat." He smiled and leaned onto his bodyguard's shoulder.

They both headed towards the breakfast area as Mingyu leaned onto Seungkwan's shoulder. "My condolences our royal prince." The crowd said in unison as they bowed.

He glanced at the prince on his shoulder, seeing Mingyu frown at the word 'king'. He accepted the condolences as Mingyu walked to his friends' table. Seeing Seungcheol, Soonyoung, and Minghao bowing to him and talking to him.

Seungkwan couldn't help but be worried, healing takes time. He sat with his friends as Chan knocked his shoulder. "Look, Kwannie, Soonyoung asked me out!" His eyes sparkled as Seungkwan cheered for him. His friends were together with people.

Seungkwan couldn't help but be upset. Him and Mingyu would never be together. Even if his father has been killed. Wait. If Mingyu would be crowned the new king, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted?

It'll be against his father's wishes to not marry Wonwoo. Seungkwan's thoughts bounced back and forth as his eyes were glued on Mingyu.

"It looks like you have a crush~" Vernon nudged Seungkwan as the bodyguard snapped out of his haze. "Huh? No!" He blushed and covered his face. "Kwannie! Open up!" Vernon held his hands covering Seungkwan's face.

Mingyu glanced at Seungkwan and saw the other with a red face and trying to hide it. "He's so cute.." Mingyu mumbled as Seungcheol wiggled his eyebrows.

"Your big crush on mister Boo?" Seungcheol teased as Mingyu whined. "Shh.. You're being so loud."

Mingyu had made a decision, a decision that Seungkwan doesn't like. To catch his two dogs in the field while washing them.

"Why is she so fast!" Seungkwan yelled while trying to chase after Aji. Mingyu just laughed, bending over to catch his breath while he had Bobpul in his arms.

"I don't know, she seems so old. It surprised me too!" He smiled as Seungkwan watched. Mingyu's smile, the way his canines reflected off of the raw sunlight made Seungkwan think the other was an angel or godsent.

Seungkwan paused while Aji decided to tackled him down. She might be a small dog, but she's surprisingly super strong. Seungkwan fell on the floor with a "oof" as Mingyu's eyes widened. Heading over to Seungkwan and crouching over him.

"You okay Boo?—Aji! Bad girl, no jumping!— I hope you're okay Kwan-ah don't want my bodyguard hurt." Mingyu picked up Aji and talked to her while Seungkwan sat up.

He was glad that this day was just a resting and healing day for Mingyu. A day for him to rest and keep his mind off of reality even if it was just for a while.

Mingyu put the two dogs back in the play area for the dogs as he walked back to Seungkwan. Sitting next to him, "Today was nice, the wind is blowing, the sunlight is as beautiful as it could be, and you're here." Mingyu winked and Seungkwan felt burning on his cheeks. God, why was Mingyu a flirt.

Seungkwan faced Mingyu as the princw faced his bodyguard. They looked into each other's eyes and just gazed, inching closer by the minutes until their lips were moments apart.

"Kwan! I got a plan!" Wonwoo strolled in with Joshua beside him. Seungkwan jolted from Mingyu's daze and looked at his friend. "Yeah? Why is Shua hyung here?" He tilted his head as Wonwoo scrunched his brows together and looked at Joshua.

"You mind if I told him our investigation details?" Wonwoo asked as Mingyu huffed, sitting next to Seungkwan and patting his knee.

His kiss was interrupted by a certain someone.
