The clock was ticking away as prince Jaemin tried to sleep.

In his green silk pyjamas, the drapes hung from his poster bed, he was lost in thought.

Seeing as the next day was his coronation, he was worried. He was worried that his kingdom wouldn't accept him as a good ruler, and he was worried that he'd mess up.

So he decided to get up and take a walk.

Seeing as there were other people staying in the castle that night, he tried his best to creep down the halls.

Successfully making his way to the kitchen, he put some water on to boil, and make himself some chrysanthemum tea.

Suddenly, he felt someone wrap their arms around his waist.

"What the hell?"

"Who are-"

He turned around to see the one and only prince Jeno, ruler of the neighbouring kingdom.

It was odd for prince Jaemin to see prince Jeno without his crown on, and just his ruffled black hair. He wore a pair of red silk pjamas and a smirk on his face.

" Hello prince Jaemin."

" oh- Hello prince Jeno"

Jeno smiled and moved his hands to his hips.

Jaemin used to always spend time with Jeno, they used to be best friends, but after time, they drifted apart, not leaving their own kingdoms.

He remembers two years ago ( when they were 16 ) when Jaemin visited Jeno's kingdom to watch his coronation. He remembers thinking " I hope I can be like him when I rule my kingdom". That was also the day when Jaemin realised his feelings for Jeno - seeing him all noble and proud made his heart flutter and cheeks tint pink.

" why aren't you asleep? You need some rest for tomorrow"

" oh yeah,,,, about that,,, I kinda couldn't sleep"

Jaemin took the water off the boil and poured it into the cup of flowers.

" what are you making?"

" oh just some chrysanthemum tea,,, want some?"

Jeno seemed to debate for a moment " sure go on then"

Jaemin poured in the honey, and gave a cup to Jeno.

Jeno thanked him before taking a sip. " so, are you ready for tomorrow? "

The younger let out a laugh " haha no. I'm so nervous!"

Jeno placed a hand on Jaemin's shoulder. " look. It'll be ok. I know you, you'll do well."

His cheeks tinted, and he looked away before lifting Jeno's hand off of his shoulder.

" thanks, I uh, think I'll be going now. Goodnight prince Jeno."

" oh goodnight prince Jaemin. Give me a shout if you need any help getting ready tomorrow."

" night."

And with that, Jaemin creeped back out into the corridor, into his bedroom and under his sheets.

Almost instantly, he fell asleep
