"Your Majesty--- King Halcyon Jade has arrive---"

Hyung Jun turned his head and met the other man's gaze. He once again felt his heart twisted painfully in some seconds. Let out a long sigh, he preceded toward Hyun Joong and both bowed their head politely at the same time. Raised his head up, Hyung Jun rapidly shifted his eyes away, started to explain the situation as soon as he could to avoid any awkward moment to come.

"The stage this year will be placed under that blossom tree--- On the Memorial Day, the tree will definitely bloom its beautiful flowers and makes this place blessed with its mighty good fragrance---" he said while pointing his hand here and there to give Hyun Joong clearer ideas, "--- all the stalls are perfectly done--- The left side belongs to my kingdom while the right side is yours--- Though we're almost done but we can't careless--- I hope your team could go around and see if something is missing---"

Nodded his head satisfactorily, "Araso--- You did great---" said Hyun Joong, patted on Hyung Jun's head and walked away.

Shocked by the sudden action that could be called skin ship, Hyung Jun's face turned red and the guy couldn't help but ran back inside his castle.

On the other hand, Hyun Joong just got on his task and organized his team. It was the Great God's Memorial Day, which always would be held on the finest day of each year. This day had become a traditional event with these two opposite kingdoms. Through these past 10 years, Garden of Angels and Hell of Devils took turn to host the event; this year was the Devils' responsibly. After made sure that all the workers he brought along were instructed, the King turned back to look for his neighboring king. But weird enough, he couldn't find Hyung Jun.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Damn it--- Calm down---" Hyung Jun told himself in mind, breathed steadily as he held his chest with back leant on the wall. He thought that this year he would be able to face the older King with a straight face, guessed he was wrong. He hated himself, definitely. He hated this weak side of him. The side that couldn't stay strong when he needed it to be. It had been 6 years already since the last time their skin met, surely enough the action just now scared him. He was afraid, shaking in fear all by himself to hold back his own emotions.

"Your Majesty--- Are you alright?"

"Eh?" Hyung Jun flustered as maid knelt down to look directly into his eyes. Sweat rolled down his cheeks, Hyung Jun rapidly stood up, dusted off his clothes and groomed himself. Still had her eyes fixed on him, the woman let out such worried expression. Noticed that, Hyung Jun smiled gently then told her that he was fine. Nodded her head though still kept the doubtful look on her face, the maid walked away as she was told. Let out a long breath, Hyung Jun hit his head several times, "Stay awake--- Stay awake--- I need to be wise---"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"King--- Your room is all prepared--- I hope you'll enjoy your stay here---"

"Thanks for your concern--- I---"

"Well then--- I'll be off to do my job---"

Hyun Joong turned almost immediately around as he heard the other claimed his goodbye. Grabbed the hand, he pushed him hard against the wall. Hyun Joong held the younger man's chin up roughly to stab the guy with his strong stare.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"I'm not--- Let go---"

"Yes you are--- I've running around all day to just get a hold of you---"

"For what?"

"To have a talk of course---"

Pushed Hyun Joong away, the younger king fixed his clothes while eyes still averted elsewhere. "What do you want?" he demanded, "Let's move to the castle's reading room instead of here---"

"Why not here---?"

"We'll talk about matters regarding the festival right? I don't want to forget about them so I'll write it down---"

"Hey Joey---"

"We might stay up late so please bring your warm coat---"

"Joey---"

"Please hurry up--- I want to rest already---"

A push was felt, and both disappeared on the hall way. In fact, one of was just being pulled inside the nearby room by force from the stronger one. A thud sound voiced up at some point and the younger one struggled rapidly as soon as he felt his body was threatened. After a while, he stopped, unwillingly when both his hands got tied up by the man's bigger one.

"Your eyes are red, Joey---" ran his hand on Hyung Jun's cheeks, the older king whispered softly, "Am I annoying you--- just by my existence here?"

"What are you---?"

"I'm---"

"You're not one who could talk when I dumped me--- Bastard---" managed to crawl away, Hyung Jun glared at the man in anger, "Don't whisper out that sentence and make me feel guilty instead of you---"

"Look--- I'm sorry for being childish--- But I wasn't the only one at fault--- You too--- For breaking our promise---"

"Like what? One in my freaking lifetime---?" Hyung Jun laughed contemptuously, "So it is my fault after all--- Like you said---"

"I didn't say it was entirely your fault---"

"You didn't say it out loud you mean?"

Moved closer as Hyung Jun constantly crawled backward, away from him; Hyun Joong let out a pale smile. "Joey---"

"Don't come any closer---"

"Why?"

"Please--- St--- Stay away---"

Though it seemed weird, Hyun Joong determined to keep moving on. He grabbed Hyung Jun's leg swiftly like a cheetah clawing its food, carefully brought the guy closer to him. And when he successfully accomplished his wish, Hyun Joong begged so much to God that he hadn't done such thing.

"Hmmmm--- Huhuhhh--- Plea--- Please--- Stay away---" There Hyung Jun was, in his arms, coiled up like he was defending himself. In fact, he really did. Hands were covered his head, and his eyes weren't blink. He just stared at someplace, shivering pitifully. He was a kid, afraid that his mother going to leave him; yet in such opposite way. He wanted to be alone, at time like these, he craved for darkness. He knew he needed to calm down, but he couldn't. The throbbing heart inside him was beating crazily. Made Hyung Jun breathed like a racing horse. It was stuffed. It was fear that obstructed him to move. He couldn't. His four limbs were sealed by this mysterious spell called emotions. He heard the older man was calling for him. Worry mixed with sadness. He wanted to talk back, but where was his voice? Moreover, he wondered why his surrounding was warm, yet felt like the snow wouldn't stop at the same time.

"JOEY!!!!" Hyung Jun got back a bit of his ability to see as his brother's voice came to the ears. "M--- Myth?" whispered weakly between all those flick and flash appeared before his vision. "Where are you Myth?" he thought, groping around after he found his way to ease. And when hands held him in a hurry as well as desperate, Hyung Jun crawled in to rest his head on the guy's chest as soon as he could.

"It's alright--- You don't have to cry--- I'm here---"

"T--- Turn it--- Turn---"

"Alright--- Let's return to your room first okay? Can you walk?"

"Turn it--- o---"

"Let's go Joey---"

"Turn it OFF--- Hah--- Hah--- I can't walk--- Just turn it off first--- Please--- Please--- Please--- I beg you Myth--- Please---"

"TURN THE GODDAMN LIGHT OFF!!!" Hyun Joong flinched after a long while of shock, rapidly on his feet and did as Jung Min said. He didn't expect the meet Jung Min again and if he could, this wasn't what he want to see right on their first long time reunion.

================================================================================================================

"Is he alright?" Hyun Joong asked as soon as Jung Min closed the door to Hyung Jun's room. Gave him back a gentle smile, Jung Min sighed heavily.

"He should be--- If darkness couldn't calm him no more--- I don't know what could---" shifted his eyes back to Hyun Joong, the other smiled again, this time with a different feeling, "Long time no see---"

"Yeah--- I thought you would go back as well since Soul did---"

"No--- I rather stay here with my brother than go back there and see the two of them sweetly in love--- Watching him from here is fine with me---"

"Don't you miss him?"

"I guess but I don't want to burden him with this feeling anymore--- I want him to forget about me--- Well my love to be exact--- If he could just remember me as a friend--- I'm alright as long as I could hear his voice calling out for me from down there--- I'm fine---"

"Thanks for taking care of my brother all this time---" Hyun Joong bowed his head respectfully, "What are you doing now? Living in this kingdom---"

"Hahaha---" shook his head as he laughed, Jung Min grinned brightly, "Who do you think I am? I, Jovial Myth, of course have to be someone above all but below the king---"

"So still the same position as when you lived with me? The King's right hand?"

"Definitely--- And yeah---" Jung Min opened his arms, beckoned Hyun Joong to do him a favor, "Won't you give me back the girl? It annoys me seeing how peaceful she is, sleeping on someone-beside-me's shoulders" Blinked several times, Hyun Joong soon recollected the sensation he felt on his right shoulder. Looked down at that lovely face, Hyun Joong smiled sweetly before handed that little figure back on Jung Min's arms.

"Hmmmm--- Ahjussi--- Why are you--- carrying me now? Where is the other ahjussi?"

"Mwo? I'm taking you back to your room--- Just sleep---"

"I can't--- Your arms feel so hard now--- Compared to that ahjussi's---"

"You little rascal--- Just sleep!!!"

Chuckled at the scene, Hyun Joong shut his mouth almost immediately as he received Jung Min's angry wave. Sighed sulkily, Jung Min mumbled quietly, "What a traitor--- She said she wouldn't get bored in my arms, yet now she refuses to be carried by me--- Such a pity---"

"Hahaha--- Now--- Now--- Why don't you let me carry her for a while then?"

"Aniya--- This is my job---"

"Eh? Didn't you say you are in-charge of the whole Castle just now? What's with this babysitter job?"

"I didn't say that--- I said I'm doing what I did in Garden of Angels---"

"Huh?"

"Aish--- Idiot--- You are an idiot--- Seriously--- I'm in charge of the Castle--- Yes--- But taking care of this girl is my job too--- Understand?"

"Araso--- But wae? Is she anyone related to you?"

Slapped hand on his forehead, gave up completely to this air-head, Jung Min cleared his throat and started to talk again.

“I wouldn't do such thing to any girl--- She's this kingdom's princess---" Jung Min turned over after he finished the line, just in time to catch Hyun Joong's stunned expression. Smiled like he knew this would happen, Jung Min walked forward and stood in front of the king.

"In place for her--- I shall give you her official introduction--- It's my honor to see you, wise king--- I'm Heteroclite Jinni--- Princess of Hell of Devils---"

Still hadn't get over that yet, Hyun Joong stared his eyes out, looked down at the girl. He couldn't believe it. As a father, how could he not recognize his daughter? There should be something right? He should've seen it from the start. How dumb was he? The king was fighting in his head. Knelt down before his old friend and daughter, Hyun Joong's body trembling in a mixed feeling. He was glad to see her. He was melted by her grace. Yet, his heart was stabbed at the same time by guilt. The guilt of what he did. Throwing his anger, disappointment and stress at Hyung Jun, who was holding her on arms like that on the day of his birthday; there was no word could describe what Hyun Joong endured afterward. A broken heart, craving for its other half rummaged his entire cells; eating him up deliciously during these passed years. It hurt so bad that he turned angry and started hurting those around him. Everything he was left now was just what he clearly deserved.

"Stop blaming yourself---" Hyun Joong awoke when Jung Min spoke up from above. Looked up in the guy's eyes, Hyun Joong remained where he was, casted his eyes down on the floor.

"What else could I do beside that? This--- Started from my own selfish act--- I knew I was wrong--- But then Joey, too, refused to meet me---"

"He wasn't refusing to meet you--- Truthfully speaking, I rather say he was scared--- You saw his current condition--- He basically can't stand to have any skin-contact--- Most servants had at least once experience seeing Hyung Jun broke down--- I didn't know how to calm him at first when I just came back but recently I noticed this as well--- He always asks people to turn off lights, close curtains or just crawls back to his room, which we stopped replace new lights since he would destroy them anyway---"

"Wait--- Joey didn't have this when he lived with me---"

"Haizzz--- Of course he didn't--- I heard from the maids, said that he got it just from these past 5 years---"

"So you mean?"

"I'm not saying this was because of you--- But--- Yeah--- That's how things are--- Anyway--- You should go and rest--- Thanks for accompany me here---"

Snapped as Jung Min spoke to him, Hyun Joong looked around and realized he accompanied Jung Min without even noticed. Saw the guy laughed at him, Hyun Joong couldn't help but awkwardly smiled back.

"Is this her room?"

"Oh--- Want to take a look?"

"No--- A girl needs her own pure place---"

"Hahahhaha--- It's fine--- She's just a girl--- Not yet a lady remember?"

"No--- I'll just wait till the day I could come here as her father--- You know--- When she knows I'm her father---"

"It's up to you---" shrugged as he spoke, "Ah yeah--- Don't say thanks to me because I took care of Soul--- I did it for my loved one, not for you, or your kingdom or any so-called prince--- I did it as my heart told me and for Soul--- Beside--- If you want to be polite then from now on you'll have to thank me alot because now I'm in charge of your daughter as well---" smiled proudly after he spoke, Jung Min turned the doorknob and walked inside; left Hyun Joong along standing out the dark corridor.

"Joey--- What've I done to you?"
