Wooden sword slicing over the wind.. It moves like it's dancing in the air.. The edge of it was held by a chubby kid who supporting sharp gaze as if he is face to face with an opponent..

 

The ten years old young prince who cladded in his royal training attire look at the boy with awe tinkling on his black eyes.. Thinking about how little boy like him can move like butterfly..

 

The movement stop and the boy bowed at Jaejoong's direction.. Tue young prince cannot help himself from clapping his hands excitedly..

 

Red tint creeped on the chubby cheeks of boy who is in the middle of attention.. The young prince almost squealed at the cute sight in front of him.. But remembering how his mother taught him to always act royal like stop him from doing so..

 

"Crown prince.. From today onward he will be your partner in sword training.." His trainer said to him..

 

"Yes!.." He yelled.. Surprised the others, himself included.. He immediately bring his small hand to cover his mouth in embarrassment..

 

He heard a little giggle and see the chubby boy had hand on his own mouth and head bend down to hide his giggle.. Unconsciously he giggled too..

 

"Junsu introduce yourself.." The trainer said to the giggling boy..

 

The chubby boy cleared his throat and straight up himself.. He bowed again.. "Let me introduce myself your highness.. I'm Kim Junsu.. Second son of military minister.."

 

Jaejoong pouted.. "I don't want to be called your highness.. I want you to call me by my name.. Aren't you here to be my friend?.."

 

"I apologize.. But I'm here to be your highness training partner.. I'm not allowed to call your highness with name.." Junsu bowed again..

 

The little crown prince protruded his plump lips even more.. He turned away and stomped.. To hell with act noble like.. He hate this.. "I don't want to train with him!.." He shouted childishly.. 

 

Junsu look at his teacher unsurely.. The old man gesture him with his head to approach the crown prince..

 

The chubby boy make a small step to approach the sulking young crown prince..

 

"Your high.. Erm.. Hi.. I'm Kim Junsu.. What should I call you?.." Junsu asked again in cheery voice..

 

Jaejoong look at the chubby boy in front of him.. "Jaejoong.. Call me Jaejoong.."

 

"Okay Jaejoong.."

 

Smile bloomed on the young prince lips.. "This mean you will be my friend right?.."

 

Junsu steal a glance at their teacher before nodded..

 

"But Junsu only allowed to call you by name when no one around.. Is it okay with you your highness?.." Their teacher told them..

 

Jaejoong nodded his head a little too enthusiastically.. It's okay as long as he finally got friend..

 

The little boy in front of him giggled again.. And the young prince couldn't help but beamed at the sight..

 

-----

 

4 years passed.. They are teenagers now.. And they grow closer.. Both grow into fine young man.. Jaejoong with his sharp face and big eyes, while Junsu still supporting his chubby cheek and warm smile..

 

Jaejoong begged his mother that Junsu can stay and study everything with him.. And that's how they are practically stuck together almost everyday..

 

They both like to sneak out of the palace and went around the market outside.. 

 

Sounds of metal sword clacked against each other.. Sweat drenching their bodies.. Eyes fixated at each other, observing every movement the other do..

 

Jaejoong's movement stop when the tip of other's sword was pointed at his neck..

 

"Why I always lose from you?.." He huffed..

 

"Because I need to protect you Jaejoong.. Not the other way around.." Junsu said as if he stated the obvious..

 

Jaejoong scowled at that.. "Teacher.. We are tired already.. Can we go now?.." Jaejoong turned to ask their teacher..

 

The teacher bowed at them.. "Yes your highness".

 

Jaejoong and Junsu bowed back before Jaejoong tugged the smaller man's hand and lead him..

 

They both headed to the garden at the back of palace.. The garden is located right beside the forbidden chamber.. It's full of beautiful flowers.. And it's one of their favorite place to hang around.. Because no body went there expect them..

 

It is said that the chamber is forbidden because the later queen once prisoned there and got killed , after that it said the queen's ghost like to wander around the place.. So no one allowed to visit the place.. And usually it use to punish some woman royal member.. But being mischievous kids they are, they like to sneak inside sometimes.. And nothing special inside..

 

"I'm so tired.." Junsu lie his back on the flower bed.. Eyes closed, he let himself breathe in deeply.. He like the sweet fragrance the flowers produce..

 

The crown prince look at his only friend.. Seeing the other in serene state, eyes closed with small smile painted his face.. The sunset glow make that shine the other make the other look ethereal.. His heart skip a beat.. He actually realized for some time already he develop different feeling for his friend.. The adoration and care he feel isn't just adoration for just friend anymore.. He can't stop his heart from beat faster whenever he is with the other.. And missing the other when he isn't in his sight..

 

Unconsciously he leaned down and planted his lips softly on the other's.. He jerked himself in surprise when he feel the soft surface touch his lips..

 

He straighten himself to look at the other who has his tadpole eyes widen in shock.. "I-I'm sorry Su ah.. I don't know what happen to me.. I just suddenly has this urg to feel your lips.. You must think I'm disgusting.. But I always something is weird when I'm with you.. I has this butterflies flying in my stomach and my heart start to beat faster .. I'm sorry.." He began to ramble in his panic state.. "I know it's wrong but.."

 

"I-I feel like that too.. My mom said it's love.." The younger man said quietly.. Head bend down to hide his blush..

 

Jaejoong widen his eyes.. "You do?.."

 

"W-well I always have this butterfly thingy in my stomach and heart beating faster when I'm with you too.. Mommy told me that it's how people in love feel.." Junsu mumbled innocently..

 

Smile formed on Jaejoong's lips.. "Then I love you.." 

 

"I love you too.." Junsu said back shyly..

 

The crown prince hesitantly glue his lips with the other's again.. Wanting to feel again the feeling he felt just now when their lips touched.. He know nothing about kissing, but it feel good..

 

Their lips didn't move.. It just plastered against each other innocently.. But it's enough to sent electricity down their bodies..

 

"Your lips is so soft Su ah.." Jaejoong said with smile when they pulled away.. Junsu smiled shyly back at the other..

 

It's their first kiss..

 

Jaejoong leaned again.. Still wanting to feel the soft lips against his again.. He curious at how the other lips taste, so sneaked out his tongue a little, he hesitantly the other's lips..

 

Junsu let out surprised gasp when he feel warm wet muscle move slightly against his lips.. "What is Jaejoong doing?.." He wonder to himself but say nothing because it strangely feel good..

 

Deciding that the other lips taste good.. Jaejoong it more.. Unconsciously he on the other's lips in attempt to taste more of the other's lips.. He heard the smaller man produce weird noise when he the other's bottom lips.. He pulled away immediately..

 

"I'm sorry.. Did I hurt you?.." He asked, eyes full of worry.. Thumbs rubbing softly on the other's now slightly redder lips..

 

Junsu shook his head slightly.. Head bend down to hide his flushing cheeks.. "N-no.. It f-feel good when you l- and s- my lips.." He mumbled shyly.. Voice almost inaudible..

 

"Really?.." Jaejoong asked amusedly.. "I wanna try it too!.." Jaejoong stretch his face forward, eyes closed.. "Come on Su.. and me.."

 

"I.. I.." Junsu closed his eyes shyly and stretched his face forward to, to plant his lips on the other's hesitantly.. He poked out his tongue and touched the other lips with his tongue nervously.. He then on the other's bottom lip like what the price did to him before..

 

Jaejoong also produced some weird noise.. The prince pulled away and beamed.. "You are right.. This feel good.."

 

The younger prince leaned in for another kiss.. This time more eager.. He enjoyed the taste of the other's lips also the little weird noises the smaller man produce now and then..

 

Both pulled away when they feel the need to breathe.. "I never now someone lips taste good.." The prince beamed at the man beside him..

 

"Me too.." The chubby man smile shyly..

 

"But Su?.. What is we to each other if we love each other?.." Jaejoong asked.. He doesn't know anything about relationship.. All that educated to him are about politics, idioms, manner, language, etc that a prince should know to command a nation.. The only thing he know about relationship that one day he should marry a girl and have a baby like his mother and father..

 

"Let me ask my mother.."

 

"Hmm good idea.." Jaejoong nodded his head..

 

-----

 

The next day when Jaejoong meet Junsu again, the later face is sad.. He always bend his head down, there is no shine twinkling on the other's eyes that Jaejoong always see..

 

He even isn't focused on their study and sword training.. Jaejoong began to worries.. He excused themselves earlier from their teacher and bring the other to the flower garden..

 

"What happened?.." The crown prince cupped the other's face with his palms on both side of the other's cheeks..

 

Tears seeped down from the others eyes down to his cheeks.. Jaejoong immediately panicked.. He never have to deal with crying person before.. So now he doesn't know what to do..

 

But he remember how his maid who take care of him always hug him when he cry.. So he put his hands around the smaller man..

 

"M-my mom said that what we did yesterday was kissing.. I-it's usually done by people in relationship.." The younger man sobbing..

 

"And?.. Why you cry?.."

 

"M-my mom said it's should be between man and woman.. A-and it's forbidden between man and man.. Because it's taboo for people from same gender love each other.. T-that mean what we feel for each other is wrong.. What he did yesterday was taboo.." The younger sobbed louder inside his hug..

 

"So that mean I can't love you?.." Jaejoong asked, he feel the other shook his head.. "So the kiss is wrong?.." He feel the other nodded his head..

 

"I don't care.." He said again.. Junsu pulled away from the hug..

 

"B-but it's wrong.. We will get punished.." Junsu flailed his arms around.. Trying to explain it..

 

"Do you feel happy with me?.."

 

The younger nodded his head..

 

"Do you like our kiss?.."

 

The younger hesitated at first but nodded his head..

 

"You think what feel for each other ugly?.."

 

The younger shook his head..

 

"You want me to kiss a girl?.."

 

The younger shook his head harshly.. "No I don't want.."

 

"Do you feel what between us is wrong?.."

 

Junsu shook his head again.. "I feel everything is right.. But mom tell me it's wrong.."

 

"Nobody will tell it's wrong if they know nothing about it.." Jaejoong said..
