Breaking the Magician's Code [On Hold]
Description
Choi Minho doesn't believe in magic. He was just a normal boy who would rather stock up knowledge on real life matters than to deal with something as fantastical as magic. But that was until he met a certain magician. Cursed to forever roam a dimension not his own, Lee Taemin has found refuge within this foreign land. Cursed to forever bring the shame of losing their world's precious prince, the said boy was forced to walk this place bearing a mask.
Never before has Minho been as interested in someone like this. There was some sort of gravitational pull that kept tugging him towards the mysterious stranger. He was dying to see what was behind that mask and he was willing to do anything... even breaking the magician's Code. As Fate steps in and takes the wheel, will their troubles finally end? And will Choi Minho finally break the Magician's Code?
Foreword
"...cursed to forever roam this Earth until the day the prince is found." He spoke softly, his voice seeming so far away as his hands reached up to gently tap his mask, "Cursed to forever bear the shame of losing the prince. Tell me, Minho, will you be able to handle the gruesome truth?"
I felt myself tense as he stepped dangerously close. His gloved hand reached up to touch my face as I looked into his eyes. Mischief and sadness glinted in his soft brown eyes. "I-I..."
"Are you fully sure you want to see what lies behind? Tell me, are you ready to break the Code?" I've never seen this side of him before. So serious... so sad. I can feel it. He's hurting... and it's hurting me, too.
"I..." I paused. Am I really ready for this? Am I really prepared to see him without the mask? I've worked too hard too long to give up now. "I am."
"Then, by all means."
With trembling hands, I raised my hands, caressing the mask softly. I felt him go riggid, inhaling sharply as my hands slowly travelled up. Pushing his hood off, I couldn't help but marvel at the soft blonde locks that met me. I let my fingers play with his hair for a short while before moving towards the black ribbon that tightly held his mask in place. I fidgeted with it slightly. I'm really gonna do this. After waiting for so long, I'll finally be able to see the face that lies behind. Taking a deep breath, I slowly undid the ties. My hands moved towards his mask again as the ties finally became undone. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I removed the mask from his face. The suspension was driving me insane, but then again, I had no one to blame but my hands that simply would not cooperate.
My breathing hitched when it was completely off. I couldn't stop the gasp that came out. The mask cluttered down to the concrete floor as I fell away from him, staring in shock.
"I did warn you." his voice found its way through my hazy mind, "Well, Choi Minho, it's time you met the real Lee Taemin."
