My One and Only

Ready, Set, Go

Chang-ho wasn't the type to use people for his personal issues but seen as all the members of staff were bowing respectfully at Daichi as they made their way towards the royal gardens, he started to think that maybe getting closer to the older wasn't such a bad idea.

Yes, it would probably make the Prince mad but then again, the latter had no right to question his decisions or prevent him from making his own acquaintances. Chang-ho was not his property and until the young royal made his intentions clear. Chang-ho was not going to let him treat him poorly again.

He did wish that maybe the prince would soften up and decide to treat him nice once he realised that Chang-ho had other options.

It was funny though, how in such a short amount of time Chang-ho had ended up developing all these confusing feelings towards the person who used to hate him the most.

Used to....he hoped the prince wasn't really playing with him but maybe having a hard time accepting his feelings?

His train of thoughts got interrupted when Daichi started speaking .

"This place it's still as beautiful as I remember, " he said whilst gently touching one of the many yellow roses .

Chang-ho just stared at him in wonder ,he had never seen him at the palace before and he himself was one of the few people who liked to visit the garden apart from Norman ,the old Gardner in charge of its care. So, Chang-ho couldn't help but start pondering at the male’s words 'as I remember'?

Chang-ho was really beginning to suspect that the words Daichi had said during the party incident had been real. Could it actually be that Daichi and Haneul were actually related? If so, how come he wasn't nationally acknowledged as part of the royal family. 

Was this some kind of royal secret?

Chang-ho was having a hard time comprehending, the whole situation but he soon shrugged it off. Deciding to think about it later as the two started having an animated discussion on archery.

Chang-ho has always thought it was a cool sport, unfortunately he was too clumsy and uncoordinated to even try to pursue, the said activity. 

Plus, who would even agree to teach him? He didn't have money to ask for a private tutor. So, all he could do was stare awesome struck every time the prince and his cousins were given lessons in the royal camp.

"I can teach you" told him Daichi

"Really?!" Said Chang-ho eyes sparkling with hope and gratefulness

"Really" replied Daichi. 

There was nowhere he could resist the younger male's doughy eyes, not in a million years, plus he really wanted to get closer to the male. He had been pleasantly surprised when he had bumped into him in Jeju. He had thought that maybe the younger would have remembered him, but he clearly realised after a few exchanges of words that it wasn't the case.

He had then decided to win his heart, just like when they were younger. Not that Chang-ho would remember anyway.

Daichi couldn't help but think that the young boy had grown so handsome and even more adaptable than he'd remembered.

They're little moment had soon been interrupted by a young maiden who had informed them that it was now time for lunch and that he was being expected by their majesties .

"Ah I'll escort you towards the dining room" said Chang-ho

"The Queen and King must have been waiting for you," he continued.

To be honest it wasn't every day that a random guest was let to have lunch with the royal family, but he guessed Daichi wasn't so random given all the royal staff seemed to know him and respect him.

Chang-ho had walked him to the main dining room and was about to walk off when Mino suddenly stopped him , holding him by the wrist.

"Eat with me?" He said

"Eh?!" Replied Chang-ho with bulging eyes 

"Stay...... eat with me" he repeated

Just as Chang-ho was about to oppose his offer ,telling him that clearly peasants were not allowed to eat with the royal's, Daichi had opened the doors nonchalantly whilst dragging him behind.

3 pairs of eyes turned to look at them in confusion. Well maybe two of them as he could feel Haneul glaring daggers at him.

'This was going to be a long day' he thought whilst gulping down the lump that had formed in his throat trying to stop his sudden shiver.
