The Ice Prince & His Moon (13)

Taehyung took them to a house in the forest, the house was quite big but they didn't see any other house around it, only that house. Prince and Jin looked at each other, they walked behind Taehyung.

"We arrived, this is my castle," Taehyung said, Prince and Jin didn't say anything, they just stood by their horses.

"Why? I know my castle isn't as big as yours, but what's wrong with trying to go inside?" Taehyung said.

"No, I didn't mean it like that," Prince said and they went inside before harnessing their horses outside the house.

"Welcome to my castle," Taehyung said, he approached Prince and Jin with warm tea in his hand.

"Oh thank you," Prince said and he turned to Jin.

"Now tell me, why did you run away from your kingdom? And leave your people behind, with your beautiful guard?" Taehyung said.

"My father set me up with Princess Nayeon of the Arcelia kingdom, and--"

"And you chose him?" Taehyung said and he turned to Jin.

"We just need a place to stay until tomorrow and will leave immediately," the Prince said.

"Where are you going? Isn't this the only place that can save both of you? There are no rules here, and they can't chase you here, or take you back there," Taehyung said.

"Why?" Jin said.

"This is Levaerun's greatness, everything that comes out of this place will have bad luck, if your father doesn't want his kingdom to be destroyed, he better not set foot here," Taehyung said.

"So the rumors are true?" Prince said.

"Sure, and it's not a rumor, but you don't go downtown, they're not very friendly with newcomers like you," Taehyung said.

"But we can't stay here," the Prince said.

"Then where do you want to live with this beauty?" Taehyung said.

"Your Highness, can we leave here now?" Jin said and Prince saw his discomfort there.

"Oh come on, I'm not going to hurt you beauty, there, sleep there, I only have one spare room and that's a storage, but you can sleep there and think about what I'm saying, you don't mind sleeping together right?" Taehyung said.

"Oh no I can sleep on the couch," Jin said.

"What? No of course we have to sleep together, it's better than being apart," the Prince said.

"Yes your prince is right, you don't want to wake up with me beside you do you?" Taehyung said and Jin was just silent.

They went into the room, it looked very messy there wasn't even a bed there, only cardboard boxes and stuff that was piled up.

"You can't sleep in a place like this, Your Highness," Jin said.

"Stop calling me that, we are no longer in the kingdom," the Prince said.

"But--"

"Look, we can use that mat to sleep right? It's not as cold here as Terrasen," the Prince said and they spread out the mats to lie there.

"Come here, it's very late, you also need to rest." The Prince said.

"But... we can't sleep together," Jin said.

"Why? I won't do anything to you, come here," the prince said and Jin lay down beside the prince. He was sleeping with his back facing the prince and using his arms as a pillow until the prince approached him and hugged him from behind, making Jin's surprise.

"This is better," the Prince whispered in Jin's ear.

"Why did you run away? What about your father and Princess Nayeon?" Jin said.

"Since the beginning, I've said if I won't marry her, I don't care about them," the Prince said.

"What about your people? Don't you care about them?" Jin said.

"That's a different thing, for now, I won't leave you, never." The Prince buried his face into Jin's neck and hugged him tightly from behind.

Jin didn't know what to do, his heart did choose the Prince from the start but he knew what they were doing was wrong.
