Camping

Forbidden Love

Bit-to and Wei rode up ahead to make sure the way was clear.


"He's in some serious trouble" Bit-to said to his friend.


"Ya think?" Wei responded sarcastically rolling his eyes.


"I just hope he doesn't get himself thrown out of the castle because of this. He needs to keep his distance." Bit-to worried.


"Do you really think they would throw him out? He would have nowhere to go."


"If it effects his work, then yes they would. I just hope he can stay focused through this trip and keep his mind on the task."


"I suppose you are right. Well let's get to making sure we are clear and start hunting, I'm starving!"


The two knights cleared the area and left a marker to let Kuhn know it was all clear and started their hunt.
----------
"We are not uptight" Kuhn replied with mock offense.


"Oh I'm pretty sure you are. Always so serious, crack a joke once in a while," Kogyeol hooked giving his best mischievous smile.


Kuhn couldn't help but smile at the Prince's tauntings.


"I suppose we are quite serious most of the time, but we were trained that way, some of us even raised that way." Kuhn replied.


"I see, I see" Kogyeol replied with a small smile.


The two ride on together a little farther.


"What's that?" the Prince asked pointing to a blue ribbon tired to a branch.


"That is Wei and Bit-to alerting us that the path is clear.  We can go and start setting up camp, the other two must be out hunting."


The Prince followed the knight into the clearing. They started unpacking the wagon. They set up the camp fire and stated to set up the tents.


"You really don't have to help your Maj...I mean Kogyeol...I can handle it"


"Nonsense, I can help. I am not just a useless flower you know."


"Oh I never meant to imply-"


"Yah, I know. I was just messing with you!"


"Oh...sorry" Kuhn replied sheepishly.


"Hey, why are there only two tents?" Kogyeol asked Kuhn.


"Oh, well one is for you, then two of us will sleep in the other one while the other is on watch."


"Oh-I can't have one all to myself while you are all crowded together."


"No we insist. We switch off watch throughout the night-we wouldn't want to wake you up."


"Well if you insist"


They continued setting the camp up in silence. It wasn't an awkward silence, it was a comfortable silence. It felt right.


"LOOK WHO'S BACK!!!" Wei effectively broke the silence with his entrance.


"We have rabbits for all" Bit-to added rolling his eyes at his idiot of a friend.


"Oh good-I'm starving." Kogyeol yelled, his stomach growling as if to prove a point.


"Start cooking them up," Kuhn ordered his two friends, "we are just finishing putting camp together."
-------------
"That was delicious!" Kogyeol told Wei after finishing all his rabbit.


"Eh, it's nothing, I'm sure you are used to more lavish food" Wei replied sheepishly.


"No really it was delicious! I don't really like a lot of the food at the castle." Kogyeol replied sincerely.


The four finished their food and got ready for bed.
--------------
"Are you sure you will be comfortable?" Kuhn asked the Prince sincerely.


"Yes, yes, I told you I'm not a delicate flower, I will be fine!"


Kogyeol climbed in his tent and settled under his fur blanket.


"I'll take first watch" Bit-to offered, "I'll wake you up later to take over," he directed at Kuhn.


"Alright sounds good" Kuhn usually liked to take second watch, he liked to see the sunrise over camp.


Kuhn and Wei settled in their tent to rest.
------------
It was just around midnight when Bit-to woke Kuhn.


"You are up for watch"


"Thank you, try to get some rest, we have a long way to go still"


Kuhn settled down on a log by the fire. He could see the whole camp from this spot. Perfect.
He glanced over at the Prince's tent. 


"I hope he is sleeping well" 


It was hard to take his gaze away from the tent but he knew he needed to focus.


Kuhn was scanning the edge of camp when he heard rustling coming from the Prince's tent. He looked over worried. The Prince pooped his head out of the tent.


"Sir Kuhn? Is that you?"
"Yes it's me"
"Oh good, would you like some company?"
"You don't have to. You should get more sleep."
"Oh no I'm good-I usually like to watch the sunrise at the castle-so I'm used to being up this early"


"That's why I take this watch. I love watching the sunrise over camp. It's so beautiful and peaceful."


The two sat in silence just observing their surroundings.


"Sir Kuhn, how did you become a knight?" Kogyeol had been curious about this since he first laid eyes on him.
"Oh my story is nothing special. I was dropped off at the castle as a baby. My parents didn't want me. They left me by the servers quarters, the knights and maids took care of me. I studied the knights code all my life. It's pretty much all I know."


"How could anyone give you up? Did you ever try to find you're family?"
"Nah, the knights are my family, and the castle is my home"
"Well I'm glad you ended up at the castle. Otherwise I may have never met you." Kogyeol replied shyly.


Kuhn couldn't help but smile at the Prince.


"That would have been a crime. Not meeting someone as beautiful as you." Kuhn wanted to crime at how cheesy that sounded, but the Prince's surprised gasp and the fact that it is 100% true speed him from doing so.


The two sat there starting at each other, neither minding that they were missing the sunrise. Their view was way more beautiful anyway. The two were just starting to lean into each other when they heard a rustling.
