WARNING : ABUSE

Soobin walked quietly to his mother's room. To his surprise, Sunhee was with his father— Byungho. It was a new occurrence for Sunhee and Byungho to stay in a room.

The pair would end up killing each other if they have each other's presence in one room.

Well, in reality, Sunhee never loved Byungho. Not even a little bit. She just wanted the title. Opposite for Byungho, he loved Sunhee so much before, not until he realized that the woman married him for a title.

Head hung low, Soobin closed the door behind him and stood in front of the two.

The prince felt his parents' sharp gazes, as if it can almost kill him.

"You freak. I heard from the people that you were laughing, smiling without a reason today!" Sunhee started which made Soobin shocked.

"How did they know?" He chanted in his mind.

Byungho sighs, "Soobin, what the hell is wrong with you?" The King says, sternly. His voice was angrier.

Soobin doesn't understand, didn't his parents want him to make appearance in public? To smile, and laugh with the civilians?

"Fucking freak! I am disgusted to the bone." Sunhee hissed, throwing a shard at him. The shard landed on his arm, but good thing it was only a scratch.

"Why don't you be like your brother!? Learn the human emotions! Freak!" Sunhee shouted, standing up from her bed.

Byungho, on the other hand, remained deaf. He lets his wife verbally abuse his oldest son.

The Queen pulled Soobin's hair, which caused for the prince to stumble to the ground.

The impact wasn't loud, so Soobin was able to get up again without struggle.

Byungho left the room, he was called by the head of the knights.

Sunhee smirked, "if your grandfather was alive, maybe he could've help you. But where is he? Buried six feet underground." She says, laughing hysterically.

The prince froze. His grandfather was the reason why he decided to live. Well, at first, he was an abuser, but changed and started treating his children kindly.

Soobin raised his head, staring at her blankly.

Sunhee was confused at first, but she didn't mind. She continued insulting Soobin's dead grandfather until the moon prince had it.

He turned his back, "you're the worst mother to exist." He says, not sparing her a glance.

It's been 3 years ever since Soobin and Sunhee spoke to each other. After the night that the Queen called him, he stopped talking to him.

He ignored her, her invitations, and even when walking in the same hallway.

Today, he is preparing for the ball that his parents prepared. The day was marked as "the creation of heaven, and land; of the kingdoms in sky, sea, and hills."

It's simple, every 100 years each kingdom will choose a palace where they will celebrate the day.

And everyone picked : Rising Moon Kingdom.

Soobin was fixing his tuxedo, looking at the mirror to see any mistakes, or torn in his suit.

"Exhausting." He says, sighing while combing his hair.

While he was doing his thing, a loud knock was heard. It was none other than Beomgyu.

"Can you please do your thing a little faster? Everyone's waiting." Beomgyu lazily stated, frowning.

Soobin tsked, "I don't care." He replied, slamming his large hands on the table.

Beomgyu flinched and sprinted away from the elder's room.

The ceremony is starting, and it seems that the Moon Prince is nowhere to be found. People in each kingdom started gossiping on how a special person is late on a very important celebration.

It made Sunhee angry, her eyes were flaming fire as the time passes by.

Beomgyu became anxious as the anger started to get visible on his mother's face.

Seven minutes later, Soobin appeared, walking as if everyone wasn't gossiping about him.

His eyes were half-lidded, his hands were clenching, and walking, ignoring the other people.

As he stood beside Byungho, he saw that the people still continued on speaking, as if they are bees that are buzzing.

"Silence." Soobin speaks, which caught the people's attention.

After a long, long, long ceremony and speeches, Soobin left the stage and went to the balcony. It was a large, hidden, not-so-hidden but is rarely found by people from outside.

Soobin misses his grandfather; he was the only person who was kind to him.

Minutes of contemplation, he felt a figure behind him. The moon prince immediately turned, only to see the person who is all over his mind.

Choi Yeonjun.

Soobin fixed his composure; he was too excited the seconds he saw him. He clears his throat and dusts his tux.

"Oh, hello! I'm Yeonjun." Yeonjun says casually, waving.

When he arrived at the balcony, he was surprised to see another man who looks like around his age.

Yeonjun walked beside Soobin, he leaned on the white pillar.

Soobin remained still, "I'm Soobin, if you- uh- kinda- remember me." The prince stutters, which he hated.

The prince's mind ringed, "Soobin!? The boy from three years ago?" Yeonjun asked, shifting closer to Soobin.

The moon prince awkwardly nodded, he scratched his nape, and he smiled at the other prince.

"I'm sorry, I have a short memory span, that's why I keep forgetting things." Yeonjun apologized, smiling sheepishly.

Soobin nodded; he gave Yeonjun an assuring smile.

"Wanna hang out some time?" Yeonjun questioned, his eyes fixated at the moon.

Soobin didn't answer, he was actually guiding the moon upwards since it was late.

His eyes weren't white as it was before, he knew how to control the power. He's already 21, and he was doing this ever since he is 15.

"You're still cool as you were before. Cooler, to be honest," The chaos prince smiles, which made Soobin's heartbeat to race.

The moon shines brighter along with Soobin's heartbeat. The moon prince does know his connection to the moon, fortunately, the chaos prince doesn't.

He breathes out, "let's hang out for some time."
