Life for Jong Woon was slightly easier now that he know Ryeowook considered him as his friend. He replayed the Little Prince words on his mind to keep the feelings of more than friends at bay.

He continued taking care of the Little Prince now that he had sixteen, he knew that was a troublesome age, he had some issues when he had that age, but, then again, the Prince surprised him again.

He was calm, kind, generous and warm to anyone, including his father's advisor that always talked about how the Prince needed to be more firm and strong if he wanted to help the kingdom.

Jong Woon didn't like that man.

"Jong Woon." Both the Prince and him stopped when they heard the voice of Jong Woon's father.

"Yes, father?" He asked, feeling confused, his father didn't usually talk to him while they worked.

"Come with me, your mother is not feeling well."

Those simple words were enough to shake Jong Woon's world. His mother was a strong and courageous woman that never showed her sickness or tiredness to anyone. She cured flus, headache and even broken bones with a smile, always fighting for her family. If she admitted she was sick, things were not right.

"I'll send another guard to take care of you, your majesty?" He barely heard his father telling to the Prince.

"Oh, no, I don't want another guard... I want to go with you." If he wasn't this worried, he was sure that he would be more than happy.

"My Prince, I don't think our humble house is a place for you." His father said, trying to move Jong Woon out of his state.

"I insist, Mrs. Kim took care of me when I was a baby, I want to visit her." Ryeowook said, adopting a firmer tone.

His father nodded, bowing slightly and starting to walk.

"Jong Woon, come on." He didn't even have mind to react when Ryeowook took his arm and started to guide him behind his father.

"Mom!" Jong Woon ran to her as soon as they entered, seeing his mother laying on the bed.

"Woon, what are you doing here? You should be protecting Prince Ryeowook." She said, Jong Woon shivered at how her voice sounded so tired.

"There's no need for that, Mrs. Kim, I'm right here." Ryeowook smiled, standing next to Jong Woon.

"Your majesty! How can I be like this when you're in our humble house." She tried to sit up but Jong Woon pushed her to lie down again.

"Please don't worry about me, what matters now is that you get better."

Ryeowook, Jong Woon and his father stayed in there until a doctor arrived and checked her. The Little Prince could see how nervous his protector was, his hands were trembling while his eyes seemed lost in the frail body of her. He wanted to do something, but didn't know what, he just wished she got better because he didn't want to lose Jong Woon.

As soon as the doctor walked out of her room, Jong Woon and his father ran to him, asking in high tones if she was going to be fine.

"I'm afraid that she has a severe case of pneumonia, she needs urgent medication..." He trailed the words, Ryeowook could see how Jong Woon's face got worse with each word.

"What are her chances?" His father asked the bitter words.

"If she doesn't get the medicine soon, I hate to say this but the chances are really low."

Jong Woon stumbled backwards, falling on a chair with a soft thud, colour leaving his face while he gripped at his trousers.

"T-Thank you, doctor." His father said, pressing one hand to his face.

The man bowed at Ryeowook before leaving the place.

"W-We need to buy the medicine, right now." Jong Woon stoo

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 ❤️
