Chapter 16: Afternoon stroll

"Here, my mom wanted to give you this as an early wedding gift" Donghyuck shyly pushed the wooden box on Mark's side of the table, fiddling with his fingers after with his head looking down.

Mark opened it and couldn't help but to drop his jaw down to the floor, it was a lion necklace with red and green stones in its eyes and nose. He was so thankful for it. He cleared his throat and said, "tell her I said thank you"

"Uhm, my mom also wanted us to go somewhere..." Donghyuck scratched his head, "she wants us to go the flower shop of marjorie and buy some daisies"

Mark tilted his eyebrows, "uhm, why?" he asked.

"For dad, daisies were mom and dad's thing and she wanted it to be purchased so she can offer it to my dad" Donghyuck answered, looking up, "uhm...let's go, I guess" he said and walked out with Mark following from behind.

"Sunghoon, where is Sunoo?" Donghyuck asked the young guard, "is he inside his room?"

Sunghoon shook his head and pointed down, "he's training and he said he wants some time alone after the whole..." he didn't continue what he was saying because he knew Donghyuck already knew what he was going to say.

Donghyuck nodded slowly and frowned, "I get it, thank you Sunghoon"

"You're welcome, going out for a stroll?" Sunghoon offered his hand to Donghyuck which the tanned male happily accepted.

"Nope, me and Mark are tasked to buy some flowers for dad's funeral" the tanned male answered, stepping into the high steps of the carriage with Sunghoon's assistance.

"Well, I guess you both have a lovely afternoon" the younger showed a smile and bowed before closing the door.

When they left to go to the village, Donghyuck felt a pair of eyes staring right directly to his soul, he gazed at Mark to see the boy with his arms crossed and his brows furrowed, "why are you staring at me like that?" Donghyuck said in a pout, looking outside of the window.

"How close are you with that royal guard?" Mark asked, lifting a brow.

"Since he became the general?" Donghyuck answered.

"Are you like close-close to him?"

"Yes?" Donghyuck said in his little voice.

"But-"

"Are you jealous?"

"No i'm not" Mark lied, I mean is it a lie though? The potion is messing with him too much.

"Maybe you should try to avoid all the things that the potion is doing to you" Donghyuck smiled and placed his hand on top of Mark's hand, "once I get to work on the cure, I promise you'll come back to your own senses"

Mark stared at those bambi eyes of Donghyuck and couldn't help but to feel his heart beating like crazy, he looked so cute right and hot because he was sweating in bullets due to the heat of the carriage. His brown hair glistening under the sunlight and those dimples whenever he smiles is doing something to him and it is just unstoppable.

Wait, what is he doing? He is supposed to hate Donghyuck and not fall in love with him...

The older cleared his throat and nodded, removing his hand from the younger. "Yes, and better make it quick" he stated, looking outside.
