Worth the Risk

Description

It is the responsibility of the first son to produce heirs to continue the family’s wealth and prosperity into the next generation. As the first-born son of the noble Lee family, this was a fate that Howon knew and accepted to be his own. It was a future that he had never questioned, something that he in fact looked forward to; that is, until he met Jang Dongwoo.

My submission for StarlightSpirit's secret santa!
Prompt: Two rival sons of noble families in ancient Korea fall in love; I'd like it if it's not too fluffy but rather a realistic conflict with the restrictions and rules.

 

 

Foreword

Howon looked away, feeling small under the man’s scrutiny. “I could teach you… help you realize your full potential.”

The man offered, and Howon couldn’t fight the feeling of excitement running through him at the prospect.

“Could you sneak out without being noticed? Meet me at the river at midnight?”

It was a risk, but when would Howon have a chance like this again? “Yes. I could manage it.”

A smile broke out on the man’s face, toothy and almost overwhelming. “Perfect. It will be our little secret.”

Chapter 1: Very well done. The ending just seemed so right for the story, even though I generally prefer happy ones.
