Jong Woon woke up with a jolt, his whole body tensing while he pushed himself up from the cold and hard floor. He felt disoriented and confused for several minutes before he shook his head to clear his vision and remember what was happening before he fell asleep in there.

“Prince…” He whispered, moving to the door and opening it without making too much noise to not scare him, finding that Ryeowook was still sleeping, short and fast breaths leaving his mouth while a pained expression marked his face “I need to get the medicine.”

Closing the door as slowly as before, he took the bag he left on the floor, gasping when the pain on his leg shot like an arrow piercing his chest. It was obvious that it was getting infected, that meant he needed to buy an antibiotic.

Covering the cut, he started his slow trip towards the town to buy the medicine while he looked how money he had, maybe it wasn’t enough for buying everything, but this is how things were apparently.

“Good morning, young boy, I don’t think I’ve seen you around here.” An old lady greeted him as soon as he entered the small house it was labelled with a sign that read pharmacy.

“Oh, I just arrived here, you see” He smiled, bringing out that cheerful and kind personality he had to hide all the other things inside him “I was wondering if you have medicine for pneumonia, my brother is really sick and the doctor just came yesterday.”

“Oh, dear that’s terrible! I think we have some left, recently a lot of people died because of that and we’re low on reserves” She sighed while she looked in the boxes she had in there.

 “Yeah, my mother was one of them” It slipped out of his tongue, fortunately he didn’t say anything else.

“I’m sorry my dear.”

“It’s okay, that’s why I need to take care of him.” He smiled, hiding the fear and despair that Ryeowook’s condition caused to him, trying not to show how he wanted to go back in time and change everything.

“Then it’s your lucky day, I have the last stock of medicine” She smiled, placing the things on the table.

“Oh thank god” He smiled, walking to her and trying to hide the shock the price caused him, he wasn’t going to be capable of buying his own medicine “Thank you so much.”

“You don’t need anything else?” She asked while she received the money.

“No, I’m okay, thank you.” Taking the medicine, he walked out of the place and hurried the best he could to come back to the cabin, praying once more that Ryeowook was still there.

“W-Who is in there?” He was received by the weak and shaky voice from his prince, his dark eyes moved quickly around until they lay on the shaking form in the bed.

“It’s me, Prince, I’m sorry I scared you” He said in a soft voice, moving quickly to him, seeing how his body was shivering “I got the medicine, you will feel better.”

He left the bag on the table and hurried to get the water he had in his bag, biting his lip in anxiousness, he torn a piece of the clothes Ryeowook left on the floor and poured water on it, leaving it all wet with the fresh water before he walked back to him.

Ryeowook let out a soft whine when the cold material was placed on his burning forehead and tried to squirm away from it, but Jong Woon placed his hand on his chest to calm him and keep him in place without hurting him. He wanted to escape, not trust him again, but he was so weak that even thinking was painful, so he ended up staying still and just concentrates on breathing.

Noticing he calmed down a little, Jong Woon continued changing the cloth with fresh water for a while before he took the medicine from the table and helped Ryeowook to sit up, bringing the spoon to his lips and then giving him water. He knew he needed to eat, but he was worried about not having more money.

“I’ll get you food, your majesty” He whispered when he noticed Ryeowook was shaking as violently as before. When he didn’t receive a response, he leaned slowly towards him and placed a soft peck on his forehead, feeling his cheeks burn in embarrassment after realising what he did “S-Sorry.” He muttered, standing up and limping out of the room.

Ryeowook’s eyes opened weakly after he heard the door closing, his head moved slowly to one side to look at where the other left. He hated how his heart beat so fast every time he felt Jong Woon talking to him, how his body felt hot when he touched him and t

Chapter 13: Now that beautiful tale is over. It was horrible that Jongwoon's father tried to kidnap prince Ryeowook again. But it's also horrible that the king seemed not to trust Jongwoon until his father appeared and the king guessed Jongwoon was manipulating Ryeowook to say what he wants.

Even they king and the queen changed, they're horrible to their people, all the good changes just happened because of Ryeowook. I'm sad they will force the prince to be with a princess, he won't like. It would be nice if they could live their beautiful romance a little more openly. But their little secret is sweet, too. I like it that Jongwoon stays the nights with Ryeowook, from now on. I wish for them to have their happily ever after ❤️

Thank you for sharing and finishing this beautiful story. It was read like a fairy tale and I really really liked it ❤️❤️ I'm glad you keeped it here, even your account seems to be inactive now.

Chapter 12: It was so touching when prince Wookie and Jongwoon opened up to each other. It was such a soft moment, I could feel how Ryeowook’s cold attitude was melting by his protectors words. They deserve each other. But they only had one single night as couple. I hope it's wasn't their first and last one.

The king is such a horrible ruler to his kingdom. It's time he retires and give his crown to the next generation, his son. Without hearing any explanation or asking any, questions he had beaten Jongwoon. What a bad example of a king. I mean, Ryeowook isn't telling the full story, but he informs his parents about the most important points of the kidnapping incident and this horrible king grabs his sword and is about to kill the man that saved his son from the worst. Jongwoon deserves an apology. For him, his mother and for anyone that was treated so badly by the king and his queen. An apology and a thank you. I hope for a future for Yewook here. And not that Wookie has to visit his lover in jail, or worst at the cemetery. Hope he gets a chance to get heard by the king, even that man is so unkind and absolutely not fitting to the crown. Thank you for sharing this chapter ❤️

Chapter 11: I'm so glad Wookie didn't run and left Jongwoon behind. But also didn't expected him to realize Jongwoon's bad condition and even bought the needed medicine for him. Thinking about his conflicted heart. But it hurts to read about the stone cold tone he used towards his former guard. Didn't he thought about the possibility that Jongwoon was forced by his father?

Anyway, he came back to take care of Jongwoon. And I'm sure if he would have know what the prince gave away as payment, Jongwoon would see and try to get it back. I really hope they can rebuild this beautiful bond they had once. And that Jongwoon's dad will see that he already ruined much more for his son than just a career. He took him away the only friend he ever had, and maybe even his soulmate. But I still have hope for them. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Chapter 10: Please don't tell me Ryeowook really leaves Jongwoon there for dying all alone. However the former guard was involved in this incident, Jongwoon always cared for his little prince, and I hope Wookie will see this soon, before it's too late. At least he wouldn't have been in his current condition, if he wouldn't have cared too much for his prince and refused to ask for a proper medicine for himself.

So even I can understand that Ryeowook’s heart is conflicted here, Jongwoon never deserved this. He gave his all to the prince, like he promised his mom and I'm sure she would have been proud of him here. I really hope Ryeowook will change his mind and come back to help Jongwoon. Not just because he couldn't find his way home without his protector.
Thank you for this chapter ❤️

Chapter 9: It shocked me that one of the culprits wishes for Jongwoon to get lost, and his father just let it be without saying anything to this. I mean, he's his only son, the last reminder of his beloved wife... He must be so death inside...

I'm glad Jongwoon is his protective, caring and brave self again. It wouldn't have suit him to just sit around and just crying over this horrible situation. He's an active guy and needs to handle. Thank God, prince Ryeowook still trusted him enough to go with his former guard, without fighting him. But I hope he won't cause any trouble to Jongwoon, or blame him for anything he had to went through. Definitely a difficult time for this pair, but I still hope for an happy ending here.

Thanks for this emotional chapter ❤️

Chapter 8: I have so mixed feelings about this chapter. At one hand I can feel a little the pain and frustration of Jongwoon's dad. Losing the love of your life just because of people you gave your all to, but took all your efforts for granted and see you so low and not worth to think twice.

But I also feel Jongwoon. It's like he not only lost his mom on the date of her death, but also his dad. Like he is an orphan now. I just hope he can win the trust of his little prince back. Even scared for hell, he needs to see that Jongwoon haven't lost his loving heart for him. It would be a pity when this happenings destroyed their pure and strong bond.

Thanks for this chapter, I just hope everything works out for the little prince and his favorite and beloved guard ❤️

Chapter 7: Oh no, poor Wookie. I was expecting Jongwoon would try to stop his dad and fights to prevent any harm on the little prince. But no, even he don't wants it, he's part of this scenario. And even he just helps his dad, just the others won't hurt Wookie more, don't makes it better, it's just a cheap excuse.

Little Wookie must be so scared and feel betrayed by the person he trusted the most. I mean Jongwoon was the closest to him since he was born. His guard, protect and maybe knight in shining amor. But this person did the most horrible thing to him. And I think that Jongwoon is part of this hurts the most. More than the physically pain the other men cause to him. Oh I feel so sad and sorry for the little prince. Don't know how this can lead into a happy ending...

I wanna cry, but thank you for sharing this chapter...

Chapter 6: I have a really bad feeling here. But at one side, I can understand Jongwoon's dad's frustration, rage and the feel of being betrayed. So, it was just a matter of time, Jongwoon's family, that was always loyal to the royal family in the past, wants paypack, and somehow a part of me thinks the egotistical king and queen deserves it, that their servants wants to go against them. But I'm afraid that they won't separate the king and queen, from little Ryeowook. The prince wanted to help and still has a good heart and pure soul, but I see that the traitors won't remember this, and just categorize him like his parents. That's sad, because Ryeowook isn't his parents, and Jongwoon isn't his father. What makes me also afraid of Jongwoon's getting the same punishment, when his father's betrayal will reveal. Just because he is this man's son. While the king and queen won't think about their own mistakes they made on their 'servants'.

Hope Jongwoon can rescue the little prince and prevent him from any harm. I see dark clouds over their beautiful friendship, but thanks for sharing this chapter ❤️

Chapter 4: Oh I'm so disappointed with the king and the queen. Especially the queen, I thought about as a warm and kind person, but it turns out she's just as egotistical like her rude husband. I never guessed he thinks so low about the family that takes care of the royal family's safety for generations, and then they're just simply servants for him? You should treat the people better your life depends on. Why not give the medication to one that was loyal to you for decades, and order new one for the prince? I mean Wookie is young and healthy with no issues, so I hope the king and the queen will regret their egotistic behavior one day.

But despite having such horrible parents, I'm glad Wookie is such a pure soul and stays with Jongwoon and supports him during this hard times. Thanks ❤️
