New Rules ⇿ YEONBIN

⇿ 11 ⇿

Yeonjun couldn't stop the flow of tears that cascaded down his rosy cheeks, choked sobs escaping his trembling lips. He felt like he couldn't breathe as the Queen simply glanced at him, the fact that she was showing no emotion causing him to feel more uneasy than if she was glaring at him.

All he wanted was to have innocently asked where Soobin was and carried on with his day. He didn't want to be held in an interrogation simply because Yongsun, the Queen's messenger, had caught him and Soobin kissing and had snitched.

"So you two are together, huh?" She finally spoke, resting her hand atop her throne's arm rest.

"N-no" Yeonjun answered, never thinking he'd ever feel this scared in front of his mother. Then again, something like this was life or death. One wrong thing said and the Queen could easily kill the blue haired and excuse it as a tragic accident to the media.

"Then why did Yongsun- in disgust might I add- inform me that she had witnessed you kissing your knight?" The intimidating woman interrogated, her, long, blood red acrylic nails now tapping against her arm rest almost as if she was bored.

"We-we just kissed-"

"But you're his Knight! And-and you two are both men! Have I- have I not taught you enough?" The Prince's mother's voice cracked.

The blue haired's heart sank at the fact that that the first time his mother had shown emotion was when she was livid at him, livid for something he couldn't help.

Livid for her son simply loving someone.

"Wait until your fath-"

"Please! Please don't tell father, h-he'll be just as angry as you-"

"So you knew how we would react? You knew that we would disapprove of you ever being with a commoner let alone a male?" The Queen questioned.

Yeonjun nodded his head, staring down at the floor as he shuffled his feet in an attempt to distract his tears from falling. Him crying more would only show weakness, he had to stay strong. Even if there was a chance of him never seeing Soobin again.

Yeonjun felt his lips trembling at the mere thought of never feeling Soobin's strong arms spoon him as they laid in bed, or the feeling of his heart-shaped lips moulding against his. A feeling that the younger had barely gotten used to.

"Then why'd you decide to do it? To disobey me and the rules-"

"Because I-I love him! He helped me realise that those rules only manipulate me, a-and that it's okay to break them sometimes" the Prince couldn't help but snap, his heart bursting into a thousand flames at the realisation of what he had just said.

He loved Soobin.

"You love him?-"

"Just tell me where Soobin is! I don't need you to scold me!" Yeonjun soon grew frustrated, the only reason he had decided to face the Queen was because when he had woken up the noirette was no longer by his side or anywhere else across the palace.

"Soobin's in a very safe place with many trained guards-"

"You-you threw him into prison?" The blue haired stuttered, finally letting a single tear slip from his eye.

Royal prison wasn't like a usual prison. In a Royal prison, one could be thrown into it without a trial, and inside, everyone was solitary confined. It was the type of prison that made people go crazy. And, to top it all off, the Queen was in charge and the law didn't apply to her or her guards. The Queen could order for her guards to do anything without facing a single consequence. And, by the maniacal smirk on her face, Yeonjun could already guess that his mother had ordered her guards to do scary things to Soobin, the thought of the noirette being in distress causing the Prince's breath to quicken.

"Precisely".

"What do you want me to do? I'll do anything" Yeonjun pleaded, finally letting a full blown sob escape from his plump pink lips as he fell to his knees.

The Queen let out a chuckle, a giggle, a laugh even, tucking a stray strand of brunette hair behind her ear. Her expression made it look as though she enjoyed seeing her own son in pain, it made the blue haired sick to his stomach.

"Since your eighteen, turning nineteen in a couple days, I want to arrange your marriage-"

"But-"

"Or, I could just let Soobin rot in prison. S'your choice".

Yeonjun gulped, he knew that if he chose the first option Soobin would be safe. But, he also knew that even if Soobin was free, he would instantly be fired. The Prince sighed, he knew what he wanted to do without a doubt.

⇿ He had to let his Soobin be free. ⇿
