Future from the Past << minsung >>

Jisung skipped happily through the hall in what can be considered as the hidden mansion of the Yi clan.

His best friend besides him don't know why the prince is so happy today since he wouldn't tell him anything from the conversation he had with the emperor yesterday.

"Aren't you going to share with me what you know hyung? I thought we're all in this together?"

The Joseon prince towards him and point, "That remind me of that one movie", he said, completely ignoring the younger's other words.

It's not like he has anything to hide but he knows how much Jeongin resent Minho so telling what happened yesterday is basically a suicide mission.

He practically begging Minho to come back with him to Korean Empire, not because he was scared that the older might ruined the past and history but because he just want the older to be with him.

Which is totally not part of their plan, or Jeongin's plan.

"I'm serious hyung!"

"You rude punk, I'm the prince here!"

Jeongin sighed, knowing that again, he could never win against this squirrel looking stubborn prince of Joseon. "Your Highness.. Your Highness should remember the reason why we are here in the first place"

"Look, I have tried my best okay? For now, let's just focus on not getting notice by other-", the moment those words rolled off his tongue, someone came running up to the two.

That person literally throw himself onto the floor in front of them, bowing. "YOUR HIGHNESS!", the eunuch screamed.

Both Jisung and Jeongin panicked. They look around to see if the other people heard it too and unfortunately, Emperor Yi along with a few guards behind him are on their way here.

"I- I'm not your Your Highness! G-Go away!". The prince tried every little things to move the eunuch away but he won't budge. "Hyung! He's on his way here! We gotta go!"

"Stop complaining and help me move this man!"

The eunuch look up from his bowing position and that's when he and Jisung accidently meet each other's eyes.

The boy widened his eyes and panic even more. He tried to run away with Jeongin who was starting to drag him but a force on his leg hold him back. "Let go of me!", the Joseon prince screamed.

The eunuch was still latching on the prince's left leg and it's seems like he won't let go anytime soon.

That action of his soon backfired when the prince kept on trying to get his leg out from his grip by jumping over and over again. With Jeongin who tried to help his best friend out, Jisung fall face first onto the floor by accident.

"YOUR HIGHNESS! OH GOD!"

The eunuch was about to help the prince up but he doesn't have the time to do that since the emperor was already right in front of them. "What's going on here?"

Surprised by the sudden presence of the emperor, the eunuch scramble back onto his feet, bowing as he too afraid to look at the emperor in the eyes.

"Emperor Yi, I-"

All of them turned their attention towards Jisung when they heard a sniffling sound from someone who was sitting on the floor.

They widened their eyes when they saw the prince was actually sniffling on his blood that's coming out of his nose.

"Hyung! You're bleeding!", Jeongin screamed in panic and tried to grab the closest thing that can be used to wipe off the blood and that is his own handkerchief he got from Korean Empire.
