Yesung laughed as he watched his lover swim around the pond in childlike excitement. His normal duties as a prince had been placed on hold for the day so he could spend the time with Ryeowook, instead of helping the villagers by keeping his uncle busy.

"Yesung hyung, come swim with me!" Ryeowook called as he swam up beside the prince.

"Wookie, are you not tired yet?" he asked eyeing the water pruned boy. Laughter filled the younger male's eyes.

"No way, it's been forever since I last swam for fun, this is great!" Ryeowook chimed. Yesung shook his head with a smile, before slipping into the chilled waters to join his lover. Before he could adjust to the waters however, specks of the ponds water flew to his face as Ryeowook's high laughter filled the air.

"Bwa! That's cold Wookie," the prince yelped grasping his hair so he could flatten it and pull it from his face. The younger male merely laughed swimming closer to the man. Yesung smiled pulling him into a hug.

"Saranghae, my little turtle." Yesung whispered. Both males played and teased each other unknowing that they were being watched.  Yesung Lightly kissed his lovers lips as his hands roamed up the sides of his lovers waist.

"Ryeowook," Yesung whispered.

"Ne, my prince?" Ryeowook answered. Yesung smiled before tangling his fingers in his lovers soft red hair.

"Kiss me," the prince ordered as Ryeowook leaned forward with the aid of Yesung pulling him forward. The small cook , as his tongue wrestled with the elder's.

SUJU SUJU SUJU SUJU

Siwon laughed as Kibum tried to jump a hurtle with his horse, only to fall off the side.

“Are you okay Bummie?” the captain of the guards asked with a smile.

“This horse hate’s me.” Kibum yelled back messaging his in pain. Siwon shook his head as he called the mare to him. Kibum followed behind making sure the horse didn’t know he was back there. Kibum noted the sweat falling from his lovers brows. He groaned wanting to feel his lover brush his hair like he did the animals.

“Kibum, you okay your staring at me like some phyco.” Siwon said eyeing his partner.

“Oh, sorry.” The boy muttered weakly as he went to stand beside the older male. The king had ordered both of them to be ready at a moment’s notice lately. Was there supposed to be an attack?

“He’s been acting stranger than normal.” Siwon muttered picking up on Kibum’s thoughts. The younger male nodded before removing the saddle from the horses back and leading him back to the stall where he came from.

“Do you think we should warn Jongwoon?” Kibum asked worried. Siwon shook his head.

“No, he has enough on his plate with trying to keep Ryeowook safe from his uncle.” The older man stated. Kibum nodded before glaring up at the cloudy sky.

“We should at least warn the others, so they can try and figure it out.” Kibum explained.

“Your right, we need to figure this out before something really bad happens.” Siwon agreed.

“Too late,” a new voice growled making the two turn.

“Hyukjae!” the two yelped as the court jester leaned against the barn wall dripping in blood.

“What happened?” Siwon asked as Kibum helped his friend to sit down.

“HE took Donghae, he took him right from my grasp and beat him. Siwon they took him to the dungeons. You know he hates that place after what happened the last time. And once again it’s my fault.” Hyukjae cried.

“It’s okay Hyukkie, we will rescue him I promise.” Siwon said trying to both calm his friend and heal his wounds.

SUJU SUJU SUJU SUJU

Donghae groaned in pain as he tried to open his swollen eyes. His whole body hurt as the guards continued to whip, cut, beat, , and burn his body. He wanted Hyukjae, he wanted to cry, he wanted to die. He hated the cold wet smell of the dungeons. The last time he was here he had witnessed his family slaughtered before him. Hyukjae had been brought down as well to watch what happened when his servants went against his orders. A smile etched onto the boy’s face as a thought came to him. he had been brought here away from Hyukjae because he refused the kings latest order. So if all he had to do was kill him, then he would, no he should. Killing the brat would mean he could stop getting hurt and he could return to Hyukjae.

“I’ll do it, please stop I’ll do it I’ll kill him.” Donghae yelled using the last of his strength to speak.

“Good boy, I knew you would break. Now when I let you go, you have to promise me you’ll bring him to me alive so that he can watch.” The king ordered.

“Yes your majesty,” Donghae whispered.
