The Prince's Necklace
"This necklace is mine!" Yesung shouted as he struggled against the hold of the guards pinning him down.
"Silence!" Kangin, the head of the royal guards, shouted. "How can you claim that the prince's necklace is yours if you went inside the palace to steal it?"
Yesung saw the Prince wearing his necklace on the newspaper yesterday and he decided to take back what's his. He decided not to think about how the Prince looked awfully familiar and just steal the necklace.
"I-I don't know how it ended up inside your palace but it's mine!" Yesung shouted again as he tried shaking the guards off. They kept him pinned down on the floor in front of the palace gates and the villagers were starting to flock around them. They started whispering to each other how he was a filthy thief and Yesung can hear it all that tears started to swell on his eyes. He bowed his head lower as he tried restraining himself from crying in front of the people whose mistaking him as a thief.
He struggled as Kangin carefully took off the necklace around his neck and thanks to the three brutish guards pinning him down, the head guard succeeded.
"Give it back! That's mine!"
All the whispers and murmurs stopped when someone announced the presence of the Prince himself. "Prince Kyuhyun has arrived!"
Everyone, except Yesung for obvious reasons, bowed politely in acknowledgement of the Prince and he didn't dare to look up to see him. He can hear the women whispering about how handsome and dashing the Prince looks but he couldn't care less. All he cares for is that he can get his necklace without getting any troubles.
"What's the commotion here?" Leeteuk, the Prince's assistant, asked as Yesung can see someone getting closer to him.
"This person claims that Prince Kyuhyun's necklace was his even if he stole it from the Palace." Kangin politely answered as he bowed down to the royalty.
Yesung tried looking up but he can't see the Prince's face since his face's still almost planted to the floor. But, he saw when Kangin gave the necklace to the pale Prince and when the Prince signaled the guards pinning him down to let go off him.
The guards unwillingly complied to the Prince's order. The Prince helped him sit down and lowered his face on the same level as Yesung's. "You claim that this is your necklace?" The Prince asked as he showed the necklace on his palm.
Yesung's image blurred when he saw the Prince up-close. He wasn't sure if it was because of the tears threatening to fall or because of the way the guards pinned him down or because of the sudden wave of nostalgia that hit him upon seeing the Prince's face. The Prince somewhat got a relieved expression on his face and Yesung wonders if it's because he got his necklace back.
"The n-necklace is mine..." He sobbed. "Please believe me..." he promised himself that he'll not allow himself to cry in front of another people but he can't hold back his tears because of the comforting aura the Prince was emitting.
"I believe you." The Prince said as he wiped Yesung's tears. "Don't cry anymore for I'll give this to you. But I also believe that this is mine...." Yesung was lost for words at what he heard. He saw the Prince smiled as he gently placed the necklace around Yesung's neck. "So I claim that you're mine, as long as you wear this necklace..."
Everyone was gaping at the Prince, including Yesung. He helped Yesung stand up and said, "Since you're mine, you're not allowed to leave the palace nor misplace both the necklace and yourself, understood?"
Yesung just dumbly nodded as the Prince held his hand and wrapped the other on his waist as both of them started to walk inside the palace. He can feel the curious glances and the intense glares he got from everyone for the closeness of the Prince to him.
"You can call me Kyuhyun. Shall we go inside now?" The Prince playfully smirked at the blushing Yesung before he continued tugging him towards the castle.

Yesung continued aimlessly searching around the palace, maybe for a way out, whenever Prince Kyuhyun would leave by his side for something. The two of them were almost inseparable. The Prince requested to Leeteuk that he add a bed for Yesung in his room so he can monitor the other. Yesung was not really fond of the idea for he thought that being in the room with the Prince would be intimidating and embarassing but as soon as he hit the pillows he immediately fell asleep. He can't explain it but there's really a comforting aura from Kyuhyun that allows him to relax and be himself.
They would always eat together too. There were times that Yesung would wait for Kyuhyun to finish what he was doing for them to eat together but that's fine since Yesung doesn't really enjoy eating when Kyuhyun's not there. They always have random conversations about everything because when the two of them are together, everything would be interesting.
That's how Yesung figured out that Kyuhyun would always act different when he's around him. The younger would act childish, snarky and carefree whenever he's with Yesung. But when he's talking to other people he would be very polite, matured and cold. Yesung doesn't know if he should be thankful for that because the Prince tend to tease him a lot. But seeing Kyuhyun smiling, talking and laughing like that makes him feel so special.
But there were times Kyuhyun would be going somewhere, just like today, that Yesung doesn't have any idea where. He thought that Kyuhyun is hiding something from him. He wonders if he's looking for a way out or he's searching for Kyuhyun. He's not sure himself so he just continues roaming around the palace. He halted when Leeteuk called him.
"Are you looking for a way out?" Leeteuk cheerfully asked.
Yesung shrugged, "The security of this palace is so tight I can't find a way out. Now I wonder how I was able to break in here to get my necklace."
"You keep on saying it's your necklace," Leeteuk amusedly stared at the beautiful necklace dangling from Yesung's neck.
"Well it's really mine," Yesung stubbornly stated as he hid the necklace inside his clothes. "Don't you believe me?"
"It's kinda hard to believe it's yours because I'm the one the Prince asked for help to make that necklace..."
"Make the necklace...? It can't be... I only knew a single necklace like this and this is actually my father's." Yesung got the necklace inside his clothes and showed it again to Leeteuk. "Look, this is actually a pendant. And when you open it..." He clicked something and the necklace opened, showing a picture of Yesung from his childhood. "See? It is really mine."
Leeteuk pursed his lips and held his chin using his hand as he examined the necklace. "That's true... Now I'm all confused! But that gem on the back of the necklace is really hard to find..."
"Wha-? Gem?" Yesung looked at the back of the necklace to see a blue gem shining brightly.
"It's a blue diamond. Prince Kyuhyun persisted that he wanted that kind of gem to be placed on the back of the necklace. I had to travel to distant places with the Prince to get that jewel."
Yesung was left staring at the gem of the necklace. He can clearly remember that the color of that gem is red. What could have happened? Right now, he too started doubting if it is his necklace. Why was his memory so messed up? He sighed and closed the necklace, ready to retire on his and Kyuhyun's room.
"Oh! Could it be that you're looking for Prince Kyuhyun?" Leeteuk suddenly asked.
"I-I'm not looking for Kyuhyun," Yesung stuttered as he denied. A light blush was appearing on his face.
"Oh you're not addresing Prince Kyuhyun formally," Leeteuk let out a high-pitched giggle. "You're the only one who can do that Yesung. Hmmm.... Come to think of it... Prince Kyuhyun never called you Yesung..."
Yesung stiffly nodded to Leeteuk. Kyuhyun never called him as Yesung, that he wondered if the Prince detests his name or something.
"Well, I should be going now." Leeteuk bowed a little before he started walking but he stopped and said, "Prince Kyuhyun would always spend his time on his study room but he doesn't allow anyone to enter that room, including me."
Yesung looked at the retreating figure of Leeteuk and heard the other said, "But it seems like you are always an exeption."

Yesung cautiously opened the door of Kyuhyun's study room. Peeking slightly, he saw no one inside the room. He silently closed the door and went inside. He noticed Kyuhyun's hat placed on the couch in the middle of the room. The door to the balcony was opened and a soft breeze came in, swaying the curtains hanging there and also ringing the wind chimes. The room looked to simple compared to the other rooms in the palace that Yesung might thought that he's in a simple room. He skimmed the books on the shelves until his gaze fell upon the pictures hanging on the wall.
He's interested particularly to the small wooden frame different from the others. When he came closer to look at the photo, he felt his legs turned jelly and he felt the thumping on his heart, adrenaline rushing through his whole body. Finally, he can remember everything.
"What are you doing here Jongwoon?" Kyuhyun asked as he emerged from the balcony.
Jongwoon... That was his name when he was still a prince, before his whole kingdom was burned down along with his other family members. Miracuolusly he survived and managed to live by the name Yesung in Kyuhyun's kingdom. His memories before the accident became a blur and the only thing he can clearly remember was the necklace his father gave to him. And seeing Kyuhyun wearing the necklace in a photograph in the newspaper triggered something inside him.
"K-Kyuhyun..."
"You can finally remember Jongwoon?" Kyuhyun softly smiled as he walked closer to Yesung.
Yesung looked up again to the photo of him, Kyuhyun and their fathers together. In the photo, the two kings were standing side by side while little Yesung, or Jongwoon, was standing beside a little Kyuhyun. Yesung was wearing the necklace in the photo.
He nodded to Kyuhyun and smiled, "Yeah, I can remember now the way you wailed when my father said that we will be leaving." He heartily laughed at the memory. "You wouldn't let go of my arms as you continued crying helplessly."
"What can I do? I don't want to let you go because I'm afraid you'll not return..." Kyuhyun whispered as he hugged Yesung from the back. "You have no idea how much I wanted to cry when I saw you again." Kyuhyun's grip tightened around Yesung's waist. "Then you can't remember me... And you said that you only came here to get the necklace."
Yesung chuckled as he felt the one hugging him is the 4 year old Kyuhyun. "I didn't know that I can't return anymore with my father but somehow I managed to see you again right?"
Kyuhyun placed his head on Yesung's shoulder and inhaled his scent. "You have no idea how scared, sad and desperate I was when I learned that your kingdom was burnt down. I would sneak out to join the search operations but we haven't found you... But I continued believing your alive... Something inside me says that your still living out there. I guess I'm kinda stupid for I didn't search our kingdom to find you."
Yesung nodded. "But the important thing is you found me... Wait! I found you! Thanks to my necklace."
"Actually... That necklace is mine..." Kyuhyun stated.
"Wait. Are you saying that this is your because I gave it to you when we were younger?" Yesung confusedly asked.
Kyuhyun shook his head and grinned mischievously. "Nope. That's mine." He retracted himself from Yesung and showed Yesung the necklace he was wearing. The two necklaces look the same, the only difference was the gems. The one Kyuhyun was wearing got a red gem on it. "This is yours."
"Oh! You sneaky bastard!" Yesung playfully hit Kyuhyun's arms.
"What? I made an exact replica but instead of putting a red diamond I searched for a blue diamond. So that when I finally see you again, I'll give you the one with the blue gem. I'm always wearing the one you gave to me you know."
Yesung smiled at Kyuhyun before hugging him, "I can't believe 16 years has passed."
"You made me wait for 16 years and then you just suddenly came back to steal the necklace." Kyuhyun happily said as he hugged Yesung back. "Don't forget that just like our necklaces, you are mine and I am yours."
"Yes... By the way, can you remember what you told me Kyuhyun 16 years ago?" Kyuhyun blushed and shrugged. "I don't have any idea Jongwoon..."

"Jongwoon... Don't leave me..." Kyuhyun cried as he held at Jongwoon's arm and hand. "Wah!"
"I'll be coming back, I promise," Jongwoon said as he tried calming Kyuhyun down.
The two kings laughed as they watched their sons. Jongwoon's father said, "Don't worry Kyuhyun, we will come back."
Kyuhyun stopped from wailing but he still didn't let go of Jongwoon. He hugged the 8 year old boy and said, "You'll be back right? You might break your promise and never return..."
Jongwoon smiled and removed his necklace, "Here. I'll leave this to you..." he placed the necklace on Kyuhyun. "I'll return to see if you took good care of yourself and my treasure ok?"
Kyuhyun stared at the necklace before smiling back at Jongwoon. He hugged the older tightly, "I will take care of myself and your necklace! I love you so I'll wait for you Jongwoon!"
"I love you too Kyuhyun. I swear I will return."
"It seems like our sons are already engaged!" Kyuhyun's father merrily stated. "I'm looking forward to their marriage!" both kings happily shook hands.
~
"I love you Kyuhyun, I have returned..."
"You made me wait for a long time! Be thankful I'm a patient person..." Kyuhyun hugged Yesung tighter. "I love you Jongwoon, I won't allow you to go anymore..."
