Siwon and his comrades are in the gym and the latter asked Taecyeon to go sparring with him. He accepted his request and each grabbed a chinese sword. Taecyeon felt that this was just the right way to throw his frustration out. But Siwon was so skilled with his swords style that he easily dominated Taecyeon. The latter kept ending on the floor, Siwon pointing his sword at his chest. The prince had repeatedly held out his hand to him and he would just stand up on his own, giving him piercing stares. But at their last round, knowing Siwon is such a good gentlemen he held out his hand again.This time Taecyeon slapped his hand away and angrily stood up. Everyone stopped with their exercise. Siwon eyed him with slightly parted lips and raised eyebrows. He stood dumbfounded. Taecyeon threw the sword on the ground, grabbed his bag and left the gym. Siwon quickly followed him. 

 

 

"Hey Taecyeon! Wait up!" screamed he, while running after him. "Is there a problem between us?" asked he once he catches up with him. "Nothing." replied he blunt. "Don't lie to me Taecyeon." spoke he soft. Taecyeon harshly shook Siwon's hand from his shoulder and faced him, while pointing at him in an accusing manner. "Well aren't you a hypocrite!" Siwon flinched. "What?" Taecyeon shook his head. "Just forget it." said he and started walking. "Wait! You know you can tell me everything." Taecyeon stopped and turned around. He walked back to him until their faces almost touched. "You once told me you we're dating someone and would tell me. So do it. Tell me who it is." Siwon held his breath and tensed up a bit, wondering why Taecyeon was asking such thing. He doesn't want to lie, but he can't tell him the truth either. He knows what Taecyeon just said is truth. And it was stupid of him to do, for this is not something you can easily talk about. "I... W-we aren't together anymore." A look of disappointment washed over Taecyeon's face and shook his head in disbelief. "You are an awful liar Choi Siwon." He turned around and this time left, not listening to Siwon's screams.

The emperor and empress sat across from each other in the main chamber. Drinking a cup of tea. "Now what is it that caused you to get ill?" The empress but her cup down. "It was a herb. Called rosemary. I had never taste it before and wanted to try. It's a pity I won't be able to drink it again." The emperor nods. "The young man, I believe his name is Kim Yesung, he saved your life and I want him to be present at the feast in the palace." "Oh that would be lovely. I can thank him right away." "Yes, it will indeed be."

Taecyeon was walking along the road when he spotted someone he had been longing to see. Now he will grab his chance. "Hi Yesung." said he to the male, who is laying on the grass. He has his hair tied in a knot and the man loved the way he could see more of the ukes features. Yesung opened his eyes and was greeted by Taecyeon's gleeful smile. "Can I invite you over to my house?" Yesung smiled back. "Sure." 

 

 

 

Taecyeon gave Yesung a little tour in his house and it ended at his room. The raven haired man stood agape at how spacious the room was. "Do you like it?" Yesung smiled at him. "It's gorgeous." Taecyeon closed the door. "Not as close as gorgeous as you." Yesung blushed and turned his head. Taecyeon's smile falters when he remembers their kiss at the palace. He reaches for Yesung's hands and holds them in his own. Yesung looks at him in confusion. "May I kiss you?" asked he reckless. Yesung widens his eyes and pulls his hands back. "I-I... we have already talked about this." "I know. I know. But give me a chance. Please." Taecyeon pulled Yesung close to him and walked backwards, making them fall onto the bed. Yesung tried pushing him off, but Taecyeon pinned his hands to the bed. He was very strong. "I'll treat you well. I'll do anything. Please....please let me just kiss you...please." Yesung only got more and more confused when Taecyeon began crying and planted his lips on his. A sloppy kiss, with tongue. Taecyeon was completely dominating him until Yesung hit him in the crotch with his knee. Teacyeon rolled off of him on his back ad held his crotch while in pain. Yesung got up, his insides shaking. He looked at the younger man who was sobbing. "W...why-" "I know." "What?" "I know that Siwon and you are lovers." Yesung choked on his breath, his eyes getting watery. "W-what are-" Taecyeon abruptly stood up. "Don't lie! I saw you two, at the palace. You we're kissing. I heard everything you said to each other." Yesung hit his hand in front of his mouth while shaking his head. "No! We we're alone. No one was there." said he panicking. "I was there." "W-we're you alone! W-who knows-" "Stop panicking. I'm the only one who knows and I won't tell anyone. I wouldn't want to bring you in any danger."  Yesung hid his face behind his hands, hiding his tears while falling to the floor, on his knees, crying. Taecyeon, either, went on his knees and embraced him. "We can't keep our secret safe. We failed." sobbed Yesung. "It's still a secret. Because I won't tell. I wouldn't hurt you Yesung. I love you."
