FAIRYTALE
“You are deeply in love with him aren’t you?” asked Ryeowook, Sungmin’s younger brother, once he had entered his elder brother’s room. “Did you send your little friends again to spy on me, Ryeowook?” Sungmin arched an eyebrow as he fastened his belt around his waist. “Spying is quite rude”
Ryeowook laughed meticulously, “What can I say, brother? Birds are my friends. And it helps when you have a Tree Sprite as a lover”
Sungmin rolled his eyes, “I guess Yesung has taught you his ways into speaking with animals now, hmm?” he ruffled his younger brother’s hair and slumped back to the floor full of pillows. “And yes, I do love Kyuhyun. But the only problem is that, I am a water sprite…and he…he is a human. You know very well that love between a mortal and a fairy is forbidden!”
“Ah, but it is not when the person you love accepts you for who you are! I may not have told you this…but after reading every book in the library, I have found out that once you reveal your true form to that person, and he in return, will accept you and say “I love you”, the power of love will be so great that nothing, fairy, pixie nor sprite or any kind of magic can tear you apart!” Ryeowook enthusiastically made a grab for Sungmin’s hands and smiled brightly at him.
“Ryeowook…I…I don’t know” Sungmin looked away with a stray tear falling onto his cheek, “I mean…I am the Crown Prince. Father…my duty…my people” he bit his quivering lips as he sobbed down to his younger brother’s chest. “Shhh, it is alright” Ryeowook cooed and cupped his brother’s cheeks, “Whatever your decision may be, always remember that I am your brother. I will support you in everything. It is time that you make your decisions yourself. You have been locked up inside this palace throughout your entire life. And I think father will understand…I will talk to him for you”
“Thank you so much” Sungmin embraced the smaller male and wiped his tears, “I shall go…I will try to show myself to Kyuhyun”
