It was a very pleasant late evening in the kingdom of North Korea. Today was start of Autumn season, so the sun's heat was not as hot as in the summers. North Korea has 4 types of season throughout the year. March to June is very hot. July to August is Monsoon season. September to October is Autumn and lastly, November to February it's winters.South Korea has the same season pattern.

In the palace named Pyongyang, lived a man. He used to be very bubbly, he had a very sunshiny personality. But, not everything lasts. When he turned 16 a very scary, traumatic, frightful and mentally damaging incident happened. This caused the boy to go in deep darkness. He still had that little spark of hope, but there was no one to ignite it.

"Hoseokie!" A very excited yell came from Hoseok's left. Hoseok looked up only to make eye contact with his cousin Taehyung.

Taehyung was a very hyper boy. He was from his Father's side of family. He was in-charge of the finance department also he settles any financial disputes within the country. He might come out as immature for his age, but when it's time for work, he is too serious. 

"Ah... TaeTae. Why are you here?" Hoseok asked his eyebrows furrowed. 

"I am here because uncle called me." He answered referring the King as his uncle.

"Ohh.... any special reason?" Hoseok asked.

"Yes! You don't know?" Taehyung asked his excitement changing to confusion. Hoseok shook his head and Taehyung sighed. He sat on the couch beside Hoseok and grabbed the book from his hand. The pair were in the library as Hoseok liked to spend his time in the library. He read books about romance and mystery. To say he was not romantic would be the biggest lie.

He had his fantasies and imagines too. Like, when he first saw a movie where a girl was climbing a ladder and suddenly her leg slipped and she fell down but the boy caught her, he too wanted that to happen to him. 

(Like this except their faces are not that close.)

He had many other fantasies but he was afraid to put those fantasies in action due to past trauma.

"Hoseok!" Taehyung shouted and Hoseok flinched he had zoned out thinking.

"Yeah. Sorry, please tell why are you here?" Hoseok asked.

"Your father is having a meeting with the King's family. The meeting is tomorrow so I am here to see all of the preparations." Taehyung said. Hoseok looked at him confused.

"What King?" Hoseok asked.

"The South Korea's former and present King." Taehyung replied. Hoseok nodded and scoffed.

"It's about time they stop the fight. It's just for a petty reason." Hoseok said while laying his head back against the couch.

"A petty reason!" Taehyung shouted and stood up. He looked at Hoseok in disbelief.

"Are you insane!? They literally called you a 'slut carrier', and you think that's a petty reason!?" Taehyung said and Hoseok sat up straight.

"I know it's not right to say this to another prince but it is the truth. Is it not? Am I not a carrier?" Hoseok asked. He too stood up.

"Tell me Taehyung-ah, am I not a 'slut carrier'? After what happened, I am not surprised that they said that. Even I myself think things about me." Hoseok said. He had tears in his eyes. Taehyung opened his mouth and then closed it. He brought his hand forward but Hoseok turned his face.

"I am going, as the King's family is coming, Jin-hyung might need me." Hoseok said and left the library room. Taehyung sighed in frustration and ran a hand through his hair. He too left the library after a while, going straight to the King's room.

-------------

"Jin-hyung. I heard the South Korea's king's family is coming. Do you need help with something?" Hoseok asked SeokJin who was sitting on the chair which was placed near the window which had a magnificent view of the Palace gardens which were taken care of by Hoseok himself.

"Yeah, I was about to call a maid to summon you. I wanted you to make a very beautiful bouquet for the King and his husband. With the flowers in your garden." Jin said. Hoseok nodded.

"Anything else Hyung? I heard the South Korea's King is coming. You need help with anything?" Hoseok asked Jin and Jin shook his. Hoseok was about to leave when Jin stopped him.

"Hoseok." Jin said and Hoseok turned around. Jin stood up from his chair and marched his way towards Hoseok ever so gracefully. His long robe following behind him.

"Please, don't let yourself down if someone in the royal family degrades you. Don't just hear it, speak for yourself. Ok?" Jin said and Hoseok nodded, confused as to why his brother was saying this all of a sudden. It's not like the royal family can degrade another royal member within their territory. It would make a very impression of them. Jin nodded at him and Hoseok took it as a signal that he is dismissed. 

Hoseok made his way towards the Palace's garden. The palace garden was very colorful. As it was autumn, Hoseok had especially ordered seeds of plants which would specifically grow in autumn. He used to do this often, plant flowers according to the season. He would every week pluck out the weeds throughout the garden with the help of the Palace's gardener. He would order insecticides and best quality fertilizer. 

He would then use the flowers to give them to the Kingdom's flower shops for free. As Hoseok was a prince and he did no job. He spent his free time gardening and reading. He fell in love with gardening after he read about it as his subject when he was in high school.

Upon Hoseok's entrance, he quickly put on safety supplies and a plastic upper so that his uniform is not ruined. He grabbed a Hose which was lying on the ground and started the water.

'I will make a fresh bouquet of flowers tomorrow.' Hoseok thought. He watered the flowers which blooms in autumn season. Those were Chinese Bellflower, Celosia, Heliopsis, Ibris and Chrysanthemums.

(The pictures are in order.)

'I can make two types of bouquets. One can have Heliopsis and the other can have Chrysanthemums.' Hoseok thought and hummed at his choices. He stayed in his garden taking care of the flowers. 

(I couldn't find a bouquet of Heliopsis but just imagine it's in this shape and except a vase it's a wrapping sheet.)

(These are Chrysanthemums.)

It was now after the sunset that Hoseok was summoned inside the palace. His father had called him. Hoseok nodded at the servant and dismissed him. He went inside the small shed. He took of the safety supplies --which had gloves, boots and a face mask-- and the blue plastic upper. Before going to his father's chambers, he took a shower to get rid of the smell of the fertilizer and other foul smells.

Hoseok got dressed with the help of his butler. He made his way towards his father's chambers and knocked on the door. A very stern and serious voice called him in. Hoseok went in and was greeted by his father sitting on his bed with his back supported by the headboard. Hoseok made his way towards the King's bed. He sat on the chair set beside the bed and looked at the King.

"Son, I have told this news to SeokJin. I am gonna tell you about this right now." The King started and coughed.

"The physicians have given their answers. My disease cannot be treated. SeokJin is mature enough and he will have his coronation day next month. But, before I die, I want you to be taken care of after I am gone." The King paused.

"Father, I can take care of myself. Plus there is mother and Jin-hyung to take care of me." Hoseok said but the King shook his head. Till now the queen had came inside the King's chambers with a tray full of food. She was sitting beside the king and slowly feeding him the broth.

"No son, you don't understand. I want to marry you. I always wanted to attend at least one of my son's marriage. SeokJin can't be married right now because he has to first get a hold of the business in the Kingdom and a perfect age for the King to marry is 2 years after he gets the Kingship." The king said. Hoseok shook his head.

"But father-" Hoseok was stopped by the King putting is hand up.

"Hoseok, I have found a very great man that would be best for you. I know you will have trouble at first but I promise you, it will be ok. I know it will be." The king finished but Hoseok shook his head.

"I am sorry father, I can't." Hoseok said but the King looked at him with desperation in his eyes.

"Hoseok, please fulfill my last will. I just want one of my son to get married. I swear if I hadn't got this disease, I wouldn't have done this. Please Seok." The King said. He had tears in his eyes. This made Hoseok weak. He hated tears in the eyes of his loved ones. Hoseok nodded and then stood up.

"If you want to, I will." Hoseok said with no emotions in his voice and face and made his way out of his father's chambers. He had tears streaming down his face. Jin had heard the conversation and was standing outside of the door. Hoseok saw him and he started to sob. SeokJin quickly hugged him and put his head on his chest. He ran a hand through his hairs and slowly walked him to his room.

Namjoon, SeokJin's butler opened the door of SeokJin's bedroom. The pair went inside and SeokJin sat Hoseok down.

"Why didn't you reject him? Even if he was desperate, you should have rejected it and left the room without hearing what he had to say. I did that. You could've too." Jin said but Hoseok shook his head in Jin's chest.

"It's ok, he used me. So father also using me is no big deal. Also, he was crying." Hoseok said and sniffled. He separated himself from SeokJin and wiped his tears. 

"Who will he make me get married to? Do you know?" Hoseok asked SeokJin who nodded. SeokJin looked down and then sighed.

"He wants you to marry King Park Jimin." Jin said and Hoseok gasped but then chuckled.

"Are you kidding me? He is already married." Hoseok said. Jin nodded.

"I know, but this morning, a letter came from the South Korea. It said that the King and his family are on their way towards the Pyongyang palace. It said that the King has accepted the proposal because it would make both the Korean countries to reunite." SeokJin finished.

"Wow. A whole lot of drama is awaiting for me." Hoseok said and chuckled sadly.

"Hoseok, once Father dies and I am the king, I will make them divorce you and you will come back." SeokJin said.

"You'd do that? Why?" Hoseok asked confused as to why his brother would want him to divorce the King.

"Because I know that they will criticise you. I know they will say hurtful words to you. But please, please wait for a while and endure the pain. I will rescue you and find you a suitable person who will love you and cherish you. I promise." SeokJin said. Hoseok sniffled at his words and hugged SeokJin.

"Hyung, I can't go away from you. You are the reason I am still living. Seriously, you know I have lost my will to live but it's all because of you." Hoseok said and sniffled. Jin cooed at him and brushed his hand through his hairs.

"It's okay, I will keep visiting you any chance I get and we will talk everyday through letters." Seokjin said.

The night, the two brothers slept in each other's arms. Vowing to protect each other and to stand for only each other.
