Part 10

The King and I

Chanyeol

            “Chanyeol, you can’t just accept that I was going to marry another man like that”, Baekhyun complained. I let out a slight chuckle and replied with my eyes closed. “And why is that?” I asked. Baekhyun rolled over to his side and shook me to open my eyes. “Because I don’t want you to. That was a long time ago and I want to let you know that I got over him”, he informed. As if to shut the king up, I brought his head down to join me in a kiss. Everything was going to be okay as long as I had those lips I thought.

            The next morning, I was woken up by the sound of Baekhyun shuffling around the room. I slowly opened my eyes to adjust to the bright morning, and found Baekhyun walking around with no clothes on. “Why do you never have any clothes on?” I asked. He only laughed and went inside the bathroom. As I lied there with my head buried inside the pillows, I couldn’t help but think about work. The job I had originally come here to do was now being neglected. Kris was all alone managing the king’s whereabouts and arranging his events. I wanted to go back to work and talk to Kris again.

            As Baekhyun stepped out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist, I lifted my head off of the pillows and eyed him. “Baek, I want to go back to work”

            “That’s not necessary anymore, you’re with me now”, he reassured. Something inside me bubbled with disappointment. He didn’t want me to go back to work, but rather have me sit inside his room all day? No, that is one thing I refuse to do. To keep the slightest bit of independence I had, was to go back to work again. “You can’t keep me cooped up in here all day, I get bored and restless”, I complained. Baekhyun gave me a crooked smile and continued dressing himself. To say the least, he seemed confident in his argument to get me to not go back to work. What was he afraid of? “Chanyeol, I don’t want you to work again. Not because I want you all to myself, but of the things they’ll say about me. Recently, my staff hasn’t been the nicest of people, and it makes me feel guilty”, he admitted. I never knew Baekhyun had any of these feelings inside of him. It truly occurred to me that I knew nothing about him. He refuses to express his feelings to the man he loves. That strikes me as passive and closed-minded.

            “Nothing they ever say will change my mind about you Baekhyun. I love you, and that’s all that matters right?” I asked as I moved his hair out of his face. The king simply came over to he side of the bed and leaned down to give me a chaste kiss. “Right”, he breathed. It sent shivers down my spine and butterflies within my stomach. Never in my life will I ever know what I did to deserve this beautiful man before me. He seems almost intangible because of just how perfect he is. Our kisses weren’t just kisses, they were promises made everyday that we will protect and care for one another. Our love isn’t just love, but an eternal bond that will never break. Both of us have never experienced this kind of love before, but are equally thrilled that it’s with each other that the first experience is magical. I never knew that I never wanted to lose him, until I actually did. My actions and thoughts revolved around him, and I don’t have a problem with that.

            And here I am today, lying beneath him touching and absorbing every contour of his silky smooth skin. “I love you Baekhyun”, I said. “So…so much” I sobbed.

            “I love you too, my dear”

****

 

            The next few days went on as if nothing happened. All was calm in the palace except the day Baekhyun decided it be a good idea of make out in his office. I was walking aimlessly around, and suddenly felt a hand wrap around my wrist. I was harshly pulled into the confines of the king’s giant office, and thrown up against a wall. I soon found Baekhyun’s lips crashing into mine. It felt needy and passionate at the same time. His lips gave me a high that no other drug could give. I feared that if I got too much, I could die. As the king’s tongue slipped into my mouth, I let out a breathy moan that vibrated through my whole body. His hands were free to roam about my whole body, and boy did they. He slipped his hands inside of my shirt and began to draw delicate circles on the small of my lower back.

            I let out another moan, which earned me a hand that clung around my hips. Baekhyun used one hand to rub his fingers against my hipbone, and the other to cradle my back. All of the blood in my body was rushing to a particular region, and I could tell the same was happening to Baekhyun. I quickly undid the front of his shirt, and broke away from the kiss to remove it fully. As soon as his shirt was off, we connected our lips again as if it were too long a disconnection. He lifted me up by my thighs, and slowly began walking over to the couch that say in the middle of his office. To think that other people (important people) would one day come and sit here made me laugh on the inside. As we neared the couch, Baekhyun gently placed me on the soft, plushy cushions. He was above me, and I desperately reached out and pulled him down for another kiss. I opened my legs apart to invite him in, and pretty soon he found his place on top of me, and in between my legs.

            Just as he was about to remove my shirt, his assistant walks through the door, shocked to see what is before his eyes. With the king shirtless and in between my legs, I would be equally as shocked. “I-I’m sorry your majesty, but I came to inform you that your mother will be on her w-way”, he stuttered. Baekhyun let out one big sigh and looked down at me. His apologetic eyes were obvious in the way they became bigger and brighter. “Thank you for letting me know, now let us be”, Baekhyun said. His assistant bowed, and exited the room. “That was very rude of you to shoo him away like that” I commented. Baekhyun simply chuckled and moved to gather his shirt. “My mother will be here soon, so I suggest you get as far away from my office as possible darling”, he instructed. I sat up, and scooted closer to Baekhyun and nuzzled up to him. He placed his arm around my waist and rested his head on mine. “I’ll go talk with Kris or something” I said. The king kissed the top of my head and suggested I leave now. I happily obeyed, and made my way to find Kris.

            He was sitting by the creek, and was looking up at the sky. “What do you see up there?” I asked as I took a seat next to him. He looked over at me and smiled. “I see a world that wants to be discovered, and the heavens are the messenger”, he stated. I looked up at the sky to see what he was talking about, and I saw that the sky really was sending us all a message. It wanted us to be free. I couldn’t help but think about Baekhyun’s past marriage plans, and what Kris had to do with them. The idea of being free brought me to the idea that I would never be free unless I knew what happened. “Hey Kris, can I ask you something?”

            “Yeah, go for it”

            “What do you know about the king’s past marriage plans?” I asked.

            I saw the expression on his face, and I knew that even for him it was a bitter memory. He shifted on the grass, and began playing with his hands. “All I know is that he kept saying something about an orange, and how much he really loved them”, he professed.

            No.

            That day when I had breakfast with Baekhyun. That day when he helped me peel that orange. I remember in the midst of all his work and worry, peeling that orange was a moment of pure happiness for Baekhyun. He had a smile on his face while struggling to peel and orange because it reminded him of the man he once loved and who loved oranges. What other things had this man loved? And how many of those things that I had done reminded Baekhyun of him? I was a replacement. A gap that has been filled. He didn’t love me; he loved the idea that I was just like the man he loved before.

Chapter 24: To your rant, I understand that. I was with someone pretty recently who treated me like that and for some reason, I couldn't see that and insisted to anyone who told me otherwise, that he loved me and was a good person. Truth is, I came to find out, was that no. He didn't love me and was dating me because he knew that I loved him.

If you and your best friend are close, she will come around. There will be a day when she just wakes up and realizes that he's actually a jerk. Don't give up on her just yet!
