Yoochun sat on the window side on the high tower and looked at the storm outside; once again his parents did not come. Another birthday he spent alone. The king sent someone to say that he is sorry but because of the bad weather they won't be able to make it to here… here… where his own father threw him, in this old castle to live alone, to learn how to be a smart skillful king to be, he learnt three languages, math, history, fencing, horse riding, literature and all to be a great king but still he was alone, a fifteen years old boy locked away in this castle alone with no friends, just old maids and guards and all he does all day is learning. The king, his father, even made the guards keep him out in the cold or hit him to teach him how to take the pain without complaining, how to bare it all and from here you can tell why Yoochun hated being the prince, why he hated this kingdom and its people. Why he hated his father and wanted to escape so badly…

Yoochun despite his young age became the best swordsman in the country winning against the mature solders; he was smart and charming, after all he had not done anything else but practice being perfect for as long as he remember, tonight his fifteenth birthday and again he celebrated it alone with no one beside him, well this year there was this one thing that made a deferent, a new guard was transferred here, usually this won't mean the slightest thing to Yoochun but this one was, this guard had a son, a small boy just as old as the crown prince himself so Yoochun liked the boy's company, he spent all his free time listening to him telling him about the life outside those walls, where the people and the simple normal life not the golden cage, where everyone is free to play and live their childhood as they please

'My lord' the door opened softly and the guard walked in holding the tray of food and placing it on the table before bowing and walking out

Looking at the plates of food Yoochun sighed, all these years and still no one knew that he hated meat and never ate it, he alwayst hrew it to the dog , but still no one knew as no one cared to know that, no one bothered too

'Come here sparkle' whistled Yoochun and the white puppy came running to him shaking his tale happily

'Dinner time' smiled Yoochun taking the meat off his plate and throwing it on the marble floor for the puppy to eat while he ate the mashed potatoes beside it. Looking at the thunderstorm outside Yoochun wondered how long he will have to live this life. How long must he take this torture? Hearing the weird noises outside and seeing the guards moving in an odd way he wondered what is going on

Another knock on the door, the door opened softly and Donghae entered the room bowing:' your highness…'

'What is going on hae?'

'They are changing the guards… something about food poison or stuff'

The idea just popped up in Yoochun's mind, if it was truth that the guards got food poison and hae never lied to him before then this is the chance he was waiting for all his life, it's his ticket out of this cage to freedom

'Hae'

'Your highness' donghae bowed

'Get me some of your cloth now!' smirked Yoochun and donghae confused and not understanding bowed and walked out to do as his prince ordered coming back a few minutes later holding his cloth for Yoochun

'Perfect' grinned Yoochun taking off his royal cloth at once and changing into the normal poor cloth donghae brought him

'Your highness… what is going on?' frowned donghae

'Get me a pad or something to cover the tattoo on my shoulder' ordered Yoochun without answering, the tattoo made with golden ink on the back of his left shoulder was the only way to identify him as the crown prince, only the royal by birth were carrying this tattoo on their backs all in silver but the crown prince and the king had it in gold and for his plan to work Yoochun had to cover that up

Coming back into the room donghae brought some white gauze and wrapped it around Yoochun's shoulder covering the tattoo underneath it as Yoochun went on dressing donghae's cloth fully

'Perfect now listen up, I want you to go to the stables and get my horse, bring it secretly to the back gate without anyone seeing you' ordered Yoochun looking at donghae, if he was going to trust anyone in this it will be him, his friend and his secret keeper

'Your highness...You…you are planning to…' donghae was totally shocked realizing what Yoochun was up too

'I'm running away hae… I can't stay here any longer. It's killing me already'

'But where will you go, the storm and all, you don't know your way around outside the castle!' pleaded donghae worried

'I will manage somehow, all I know is that I can't stay here or I will die!' stated Yoochun fully confident about his decision

'But…' tried donghae again

'It's an order!' hissed Yoochun finally knowing donghae can't ever betray an order and truth enough donghae bowed his head and ran downstairs while Yoochun covering his face with the long black traveling cloak and looking around he grabbed his sword, he might need it, a bracelet that his mother once gave him and that is it, looking at the room for one last time he sighed, he wanted to take his puppy too but he could not, he knew the puppy won't survive the weather outside so patting him farewell Yoochun fought the tears in his eyes, this puppy meant a lot to him, he was his first friend before donghae came, the friend that made him endure all this torture and now he was leaving him behind, it felt like if he was betraying him

'Farewell sparkle, don't worry they will take care of you' with that Yoochun sneaked out of his room high in the tower, looking around there were less guards than usual so taking a deep breath he managed to calm his heart and a step after a step Yoochun claimed down the stone staircase trying not to make any sound as he avoided the guards as he took every shortcut and every secret passage he knew that would usually be heavily guarded but was abounded tonight reaching outside the castle to the stables

'Donghae' hissed Yoochun looking for his friend

'Here your highness' hissed donghae back and so Yoochun ran carefully to him fighting against the strong wind and rain with the cloak flying behind him now only held still by the golden button around Yoochun's right shoulder while he reached donghae to see him holding on to the horse and waiting for him

Smiling Yoochun got up on the horse and was about to go when donghae climbed behind him

'Hae? What are you doing?' frowned Yoochun

'Coming with you my lord, it's my duty to protect you and you don't know anything about the life outside this castle, you will need me to help you' pleaded donghae not wanting to send Yoochun alone to the strange world out there

'But hae your parents…'

'They will understand' assured donghae so sighing Yoochun touched the side of the horse with his leg softly and understanding the horse started to run at once fast as the wind and black as the night with two cloaked young men on it's back, it was hard to see it in the stormy night which gave them the perfect cover as they ran outside the castle and it's grounds

'Keep going north, we will reach the nearby kingdom by morning' pointed donghae and Yoochun followed still finding it hard to believe he is free

As time went on the storm got worse and worse, Yoochun could barely see in front of him as he rode the horse so he was just praying that they will reach safely

Hours passed and Yoochun was all sour and tired, donghae was already asleep behind Yoochun holding onto him tightly while Yoochun was dizzy, his vision was all blurry while he felt a fever so leaning on the horse wrapping his hands around its neck he trusted his horse to get him to safety

♚ … ♚

Yunho the crown prince sat down near the window looking outside at the castle and the storm, it was morning already and ' he' was still sleeping peacefully in his bed so he did not want to wake him up, especially that their horseback riding trip will be cancelled because of the storm

'Mmm' a soft moan escaped the 'his' lips as he shifted in bed pushing the covers away so smiling yunho placed the hot tea mug on the table and covered 'his' tiny body with the warm blanket again so 'he' won't catch any cold as he smiled but it seems that the little kid sleeping in his bed woke up a little rubbing his big sleepy eyes

'Yunie hyung~' he pouted looking all around for yunho, as he saw him a big smile appeared on his lips as he reached his hands for him to hold him and he did, even though he was ten years old now he was still as adorable as ever and yunho could not resist his charm

'Morning su' yunho brushed his hair off his face before pulling the covers over his body to so he won't be cold, the thin sleeping gown he was wearing did not help much

'When will we go… * thunder sound* aaaahhhhhh!!!!' he yelled scared snuggling into yunho's chest for protection

'It's alright su, it's just the thunder dear, don't worry it will be over soon'

'Really?' Junsu looked at his hyung with tears in his big eyes and pleaded as yunho nodded smiling:' of course… now, let's get you dressed so we will go see the king'

'Ok' nodded Junsu happily as yunho went to his closet and brought some warm cloth for Junsu, even thought Junsu was a boy he was the princess of the kingdom no doubt, he wore gowns and acted all girly, everyone knew he is more of a princess than a prince and he did fill this job perfectly making everyone melt with his smile and causing every boy to fall for him while girls were all jealous of his beauty

Fixing junsu's cloth yunho smiled, his little brother or half brother looked like a doll in the gown as they walked hand in hand out of the royal bedroom to great their father the king, reaching the crown hall yunho frowned hearing the same hateful voice talking to his father about the same subject for the last five year

'He is not royal, he can't be the princess!'

'Su… wait here' angry yunho pushed the doors open, without waiting for anyone to announce his presence he walked in front of the royal council till he stood right behind Sir Heechul

'The boy is filthy; he was not burn into marriage!' not knowing the crown prince stood behind him Heechul went on and on

'This boy…' the king was about to answer, but being ill for so long he had no power to talk and fight so seeing yunho nodding to him from behind Heechul he smiled softly and waited for his son to take care of this

'This boy is my brother!'
