᪥ Chapter Fourteen

Jaemin wakes up early and sits down on his bed as he tapped his foot on the floor impatiently while staring at the door.

Finally, after what felt like hours– actually was just 30 minutes– the sound of someone knocking on the door was heard making the young crowned prince jump to his feet.

He makes a beeline towards the door and opens it before sighing in relief pulling the awaited person into his arms engulfing him in a tight hug.

The boy pats his chest signaling to let go as he caught up his breath, "good morning to you too sire," his dear beloved royal servant greets.

The elder brunet smiled and pulls him inside closing the door shut as he connects their lips together, "are you okay? Did my father hurt you? He did, didn't he?" Jaemin rambled.

Jeno sighed and shook his head, "he didn't do anything," he reassures, though, he looked hesitant and his gaze was somewhere else. Avoiding the worried eyes staring into him.

"You're bluffing my love," the crowned prince said placing his hand on his lover's cheek softly. "I'm worried about you," he mumbled.

"I'm not bluffing Nana," Jeno murmured, "I'm just– shocked," he said lifting his hand to hold Jaemin's own that was still on his face.

"What did my father do?" Jaemin asked gently placing his free hand on the younger's hip caressing him through the clothes he was wearing.

The royal servant sighed, "he just gave us a warning," he said still not looking at his lover's eyes, afraid of what will the elder's reaction be when he finds out.

"Jeno," Jaemin called with his voice low. "Look at me and answer honestly, what did my father do to you?" He asked again, sternly this time.

The younger gulped and shook his head shutting his eyes closed, "I can't tell you," he croaks with his eyes tearing up even from being closed as he tried to swallow down his sob.

The crowned prince pursed his lips before pulling the younger's head in to his chest caressing his back lovingly, "shh it's okay sweetheart, don't be scared okay? I'm right here," he whispered in to the boy's ear.

Jeno's body shook trying to calm himself down as he hugs the elder back, gripping on to his fresh clean clothes tightly in his fists making it wrinkly again.

"I want to know the truth darling, I can't have you suffer alone by my father, I must be there with you." Jaemin said tightening the hug.

The royal servant hiccups and pulls his head away from his lover's chest, wiping the tears away from his face. "I w-want to t-tell you Nana, I r-really do," he mumbled.

"Then tell me later tonight my love," the crowned prince suggested, or more like ordered, cupping Jeno's face in his hands.

The younger widens his eyes as Jaemin could see the panic and fear showing in his honey brown orbs, "w-we can't! We'll g-get in trouble a-again!" He squeaked almost breaking down again.

The elder shushes him to calm him down and leans their foreheads together, "calm down alright? We won't get caught nor will we get in trouble, we just have to be careful okay?" He reassures.

Jeno seemed a bit doubtful at the idea, and his beloved noticed that, "hey, look at me," he orders as the royal servant obediently meets his gaze for the first time that morning.

"I love you," he smiles lovingly while pecking Jeno's forehead.

The younger smiled back, "I love you too," he said back meeting Jaemin's lips with his own as they both smiled melting into the touch.

Once they pull away Jaemin opens back his bedroom door as they walk out in to the hallway looking around to see if anyone saw and might report it to the king.

Luckily no one was around, they both went in to their places with Jaemin standing up straight and Jeno walking besides the crowned prince with a more slouching posture.

"I told you not to slouch," the crowned prince said without turning his head back on his shoulder already knowing his lover's bad habit.

Jeno pouts behind him as he bit back a smile waiting for the younger to whine and smack his arm discreetly, as if on cue, he heard a whiny noise and a hand had smacked his bicep weakly. He knows the boy too well.

"I can't help it, you know that Nana," the royal servant muttered as he slouched even more.

The elder hums, "I also know it's bad for you, you know how I get with your health dotori," he said back as they turned to a corner.

Jeno huffs muttering incoherent words behind him not able to fight back against his lover. The elder can be quite scary when he's being serious, especially towards him.

Before they headed down the staircase, Jaemin abruptly turns around to look at his royal servant who was looking at his schedule paper on what duties he has for the day.

"Hey doll," he calls out whispering as he looks around seeing no one.

His coronation was getting nearer and nearer by the minute, everyone was busy preparing for the event. Especially Jaemin, who's the main star of it. The next King.

That's why Jeno can barely watch and stay with Jaemin when the latter is doing some royal duties of his own, he has some too. Just not– the royalty-ish type of duties.

The younger looks up raising his brow in confusion, "how many nicknames have you thought of for me Nana?" He chuckled amused at the name his lover used.

The crowned prince chuckled as well, "could not keep count, everything is perfect for you," he winked successfully making the younger boy blush.

"Whatever," Jeno huffs, "just hurry up, you're missing breakfast babe," he murmured looking away shyly ignoring the coo from the elder.

Jaemin sighed, "I'll visit you in your room tonight okay?" He said pushing Jeno's bangs away from his face to look at his honey brown eyes.

The royal servant pursed his lips, "why?" He asked instead of protesting. He'll lose anyway, Jaemin just knows how to persuade and charm him. That's how he got his heart too.

"I want an honest explanation darling," the crowned prince whispered softly as his eyes were stern.

Jeno just gulped and nodded at his words before they proceeded to walk downstairs for breakfast.
