a mother

Soobin was passing through the large hallway, when he sighted his mother and Beomgyu. Both of them were laughing, probably because Beomgyu made a joke. The prince stood there, looking at them, feeling his heart breaking.

As he watched them longer, his body suddenly became light, and his vision became steady. The prince saw himself outside, with his mother, and Beomgyu out of the frame.

"Mother!" Soobin shouts, running towards his mother. Sunhee opened her arms, readying herself to catch Soobin.

The prince felt happy as he sees his mother smiled at him genuinely, he wished that the moment never end.

"My dear Soobin," Sunhee catching him, hugging him tightly, and caressing his hair. The prince rested his head on his mother's shoulder, hugging her tight, not pulling away.

"Moon prince? Moon prince?"

Soobin smiled, his mother were never like this before. He wishes that she will stay the same until he leave the earth.

"Moon prince Soobin?"

Soobin snapped back to reality as he heard one of the maids call her. The prince looked at him, one of his brows was raising.

"You have an appointment with the Thundering Sky's King in the next two days." One of the maid— Haena informed, then bowing in front of the prince. Soobin nodded at the information, then the maid left.

His eyes focused back to his mother, and Beomgyu. Soobin saw how happy his mother with Beomgyu, something that he failed to achieve.

"Why can't I have a loving, supporting, caring mother? Why can't I have a mother who would help me when I'm down?"

Soobin cried, his heart shattering. Although he hates his mom, there is a longing feeling dwelling inside his heart, a longing for a mother's care, and love.

The prince's tears rolled down his cheeks, his eyes not leaving the two. Up until this day, Soobin is still thinking, what does he lacks that Beomgyu has? Why can't his mother love him the same way as Beomgyu?

The blonde left the hallway, forgetting what he was supposed to do. He hurriedly sprinted to the library, and shut the doors.

After an hour or three, Soobin decided to leave his room. Walking past his father's room, all he hears is dead silence. Well, it's a normal day for them, and he liked it that way.

While walking down the royal room— the place where all of the Chois picture is plastered, he saw his picture. He was shocked to see, he wasn't even married to anyone, yet why does his picture is up here?

"What is this...?" Soobin muttered, his eyes widened by the fact his face was already plastered in the royal room. He was the only one, who is young, to be placed in there.

Below the frame of his image, there is a golden plate, that is written : Choi Soobin, moon prince.

The blonde neglected his negative thoughts, and looked at the other pictures. It's not he hated to be in there, he just hated how he looked.

As he realized something, he chuckles, "probably Sunhee, and Byungho hates me because I look neither of them." Soobin stated, walking towards the other frames.

There were lots of unfamiliar faces he saw. The only thing he knew is his parents, and his grandparents.

"Choi Yunseo and Im Chaerin..." Soobin reads the plate as he passes by. Im Chaerin looked majestic, and Choi Yunseo looked kind.

As he passed one more time, he saw the picture of Yunseo, and Chaerin's children. There is Hongri, Kihyun, Eunchae, and Taehan.

"These people are.. unfamiliar.. even this Soma, and Aereum.." he speaks, puzzled, walking.

The royal room was quiet, so Soobin decided to stay to know more about his family.

"Did you find him?" Sunhee asks, sitting by her room window. She is currently holding a cigarette pipe, facing the guard backward.

The guard hums, "Choi Yeonjun is the crowned prince of Chaos Star. He is the son of Choi Eunhi, an immortal ram, and the deceased phoenix, Ok Jimin." The guard started, making Sunhee smirk.

"He is also meant to be crowned in the next two years." He added, earning a nod from Sunhee.

She placed down her cigarette pipe, "it looks like the Chaos Star is gonna lose a King." Sunhee says, evident in her voice that she was excited.

Soobin left the royal room, he thought that maybe it was too quiet there. Too scary as well. On his way to the garden, a butler sprinted towards him, and handed him a letter.

"A message was sent to you, Young Lord." The butler speaks with high respect.

The blonde nods, smiling as he receive the letter. He already knew that it is from someone he know.

dear choi soobin, i bought fancy things from mariposa kingdom! do you wish to see them? if you do, let's meet at cherry garden next week! — cyj ^_^

Soobin smiled, his smile went from his other ear, to his another ear. His heart soared to the rainbow. It felt so good to receive a message from him.

"I like his handwriting so much." Soobin thought as he distinguishes every Yeonjun's writing style. The emoticons, the exclamation point, and the lower case letters. Well, Soobin writes exactly the opposite. He doesn't use emoticons, writes long paragraphs, and uses capital letters correctly.

So then, Soobin went to his room, and prepared for their meet up tomorrow.
