“Your dad is so going to kill me if he finds out, and I'll fucking haunt you for the rest of your life" James, Sunghoon's long time best friend, said with in a silent whisper as they snuck out of the palace gates, avoiding the guards as much as possible.
"Can you shut your trap for one fucking second?! I don't need us to get caught now that we've managed to get me out no thanks to your lips that won't stop moving." Sunghoon hissed quietly at his best friend as they successfully made it out of the palace gates without getting caught.
"Rude." James looked like a wounded puppy before they got to his motorcycle and getting on it, of course James doesn't have a helmet to spare his life, fucker doesn't care if he dies or not.
"Get moving, rascal." Sunghoon hopped behind James' back and yelped when James took off at high speed without warning him. "ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?! YOU ALMOST KILLED THE PRINCE OF SEOUL YOU LUNATIC!" Sunghoon all but yelled, holding onto James' middle as the sharp cold air violently hit his face, making his eyes water slightly.
"AT LEAST YOU WOULD'VE DIED AND SAVED ME THE HEADACHES!" James yelled back with a laugh as he wrecklessly dodged the traffic, Sunghoon felt like he was going to be sick from how much James was swerving left anf right, praying to God he doesn't die tonight.
James swerved into a hidden corner street, before speeding up towards the familiar bright lights, along with the defeaning screams being louder as they got closer.
"Woah...so this is where you ditch me for while I rot in the palace?" Sunghoon looked around mesmerised at the insanely bright lights, the roars of all the car engines all lined up, and of course the people...Sunghoon felt like he was in another world.
"Welcome to Seoul's Street Racing Arena, your highness" James teased as he stopped his bike and turned it off before getting off, trying not to laugh at Sunghoon who's legs were slightly shakey from the intense ride as he got off the bike.
"You race here often?" Sunghoon ran his hand through his black hair to look less of mess, before he started walking with James towards the arena, admiring the lively energy he so desperately needed, following royalty protocol was draining to say the least so he really needed this.
"Nah, I just place a few bets here and there." James winked at a few ladies that recognized him, the prince rolled his eyes at his best friend, trust James to be a flirt with anything that has legs.
"If it isn't Zhao Yufan himself, thought you forgot about this place." A deep voice rang in Sunghoon's ears before seeing a man around James' age approach them and bring the latter into a brief hug. Tall, sharp eyes, a sharper jawline, black hair with blonde streaks...Sunghoon had to admit, the guy was a looker for sure.
"You're pulling the government name? Damn Niki, I thought we were past that." James pretended to be hurt before messing with Niki's hair.
"Hands off, fucker...who did you bring tonight, a quick fuck?" Niki's eyes checked out Sunghoon with a raised brow before looking back at James. "No disphit, this is prince Sunghoon, my best friend that I keep talking about." James scoffed at Niki's words.
"The prince?! This is the Sunghoon you keep talking about?!" Niki's eyes widened as he looked at Sunghoon before bowing slightly "I-sorry for the crass words, your highness." At least he had the decency to look ashamed.
"Please, no need for all of that, treat me like anyone else here." Sunghoon's lips twitched in an amused smile before patting Niki's shoulder.
Niki looked between Sunghoon and James before whacking James behind his head. "You little shit, you're bringing royalty here?! Are you insane?! Do you want us to all go to jail if he gets hurt here?!" James groaned and rubbed the back of his head from how hard Niki hit him before looking at the man with a wounded look "Relax, I'm just being a good friend and relieving him of his royal duties for the night, not like I'm giving him drugs." At that, Sunghoon violently flinched at the loud roar of one of the cars "If i have a heart attack tonight, run him over for me, it was his idea after all." Sunghoon told Niki before glaring at James, who just smiled innocently at his best friend. "Will do, your highness." Niki chuckled at the prince, he really liked his attitude considering his status.
"While you both plot my demise, is Heeseung here?" James said as he looked around the arena for a familair hellcat.
Before Niki could respond, the crowd cheered as a black hellcat pulled up to the arena with a white supra right behind it. "Speak of the devil and he shall appear." Niki said with a snort as he saw a figure come out of the car before a crowd started surrounding him. It was very clear he was very popular.
Sunghoon was intrigued at who this Heeseung was that James kept going on about when they hung out, he had this air of arrogance and confidence around him as he collected his winnings from the people around him, although the prince wasn't impressed when he let a few different women cling to him, men like that weren't his cup of tea. "How classless." Sunghoon said with a scoff as he saw how he gave attention to the women hanging on his arms. "Sorry this isn't like the usual galas you attend, your highness." Niki teased the prince, and then looked away when Sunghoon shot him an unimpressed glare.
"If I win every race, I'd want all the attention from all the ladies too." James piped up while wiggling his eyebrows. "That's cause you flirt with anything that has legs, you whore." Sunghoon deadpanned at his best friend, not before catching a glint of something on Niki's face as James uttered those words...huh, interesting.
Heeseung basked in the attention before he looked up and his eyes caught the trio in the very far back of the arena, leaning against the walls...his eyes were specifically locked on Sunghoon, to which the prince felt his breathe stutter at the once over that Heeseung gave him with a grin plastered on his stupidly handsome face, and Sunghoon being Sunghoon, rolled his eyes before looking away.
Heeseung was very attractive, anyone would see that, almost like he was sculpted by hand. A narrow face with prominent and high cheekbones, a refined jawline for sure, sharp doe eyes, black curtain cut hair with a few strands falling down the sides of his face making him look more hot obviosuly, a lean and toned physical build with broad shoulders, and legs for days. Heeseung was a walking work of art, a sight for eyes if you must...and Sunghoon wasn't going to lie to himself and say Heeseung was ugly but he'd rather endure an eight hour meeting with the court ministers than tell Heeseung that he was good looking.
"Never gonna make it easy on anyone else on the tracks are you?" Niki's voice broke Sunghoon's thoughts as he saw Heeseung approach them.
"Where's the fun in that if I let someone else without a challenge, Niki? I won against you three times and I made it easy on you." Heeseung's voice rang out in Sunghoon's ear, and ohhhh Sunghoon felt something twist in his abdomen at the sound of Heeseung's voice.
"You're not going to ever let that go are you?" Niki groaned and shook his head. "I'll remind you of it even on your deathbed, Ki" Heeseung messed with Niki's hair, who swatted his hand away with a playful glare. Why was everyone always touching his hair?
"And look who finally remembered he had a life outside his classes" Heeseung turned to James with a raised brow "Fluid physics have been kicking my ass" James said with a dramatic groan "Good to have you back, Zhao Yufan." Heeseung brought James in a brief hug, man James was such a social butterfly that he made friends everywhere. Sunghoon was envious a little of how social James was, unlike him, who only had James in his life and struggled making friends his entire teenage years, not only because of social status differences but also he was very introverted and apparently had an "unbearable personality".
"Well look what we have here...Did you come here in your carriage?" Heeseung's voice broke Sunghoon's thoughts, the older one looking at him with an amused look.
"I might have...natural and authentic horsepower goes a long way." Sunghoon replied without missing a beat, his tone a little clipped, not impressed with Heeseung's mocking tone.
"Relax, snowflake..Its a joke, but I like your fiesty attitude." Heeseung put his hands up in mock surrender with a breathy chuckle, enjoying how he riled up the prince.
"Its prince Sunghoon to you, not snowflake." Sunghoon placed one of his hands on his side and stared at Heeseung with an unimpressed glare. (Okay Diva)
"My apologies, your highness...I'll do better to know my place." Heeseung approached the prince before bowing halfway, and being the bold man he is, he took Sunghoon's free hand and planted a small kiss on his knuckles, keeping eye contact with the prince...Sunghoon felt his heart lurch to his throat at the gesture, it was very intimate, before taking his hand back and schooling his expression back to being nonchalant.
"You'd do best remember that...I've heard quite a lot about you, Lee Heeseung." Sunghoon said, placing his hands in his jacket pockets, ignoring the tingle on his hand from the kiss.
"Oh? Should I be honoured that my name and reputation have reached the future heir to the throne? I must have done something right." Heeseung replied back with a low laugh, leaning against the lamp post.
"James has told me a lot about you and your reputation in the streets, he is basically your biggest fan from how much he talks about you." Sunghoon said with a small shrug, and James felt himself turn red at Sunghoon exposing him like that "You traitor, I told you to not say that, more so not in front of Heeseung himself." James groaned at his biggest secret being exposed, Niki looked at James with a faux sad expression "I thought I was your favorite in the streets, you liar" James looked up, a little panicked "What? You are though, you come first before Heeseung." Sunghoon suppressed the urge to laugh at his best friend and Niki flirting and blushing around each other.
"You two can flirt somewhere else, I have an appointment with royalty." Heeseung grinned at how red Niki had become, God its disgusting how down bad they were for each other, and dodging the hit that Niki aimed for his head.
"You? An appointment with me? You're going to have to check with my royal advisor on that, my time is precious and not meant for just anyone." Sunghoon looked at Heeseung with a raised brow, his lips twitching very slightly at the corner.
"Always picky with your suitors or is it just me?" Heeseung said with a wink, this fucking flirt, and Sunghoon's eyes widened slightly before giving a small, amused chuckle "You're bold, James did say that about you...a suitor, really now? Not even an acquaintance or friend? Straight to the end you go then." Sunghoon rolled his eyes, feeling his ear about to explode from how shameless Heeseung was.
"I don't do anything by halves, snowflake, you'd do best to remember that." Heeseung threw back Sunghoon's words at him "Using my own words against me, how original. I suppose this place isn't legally organized with permits, are they?" Sunghoon gave a small scoff and looked around the arena.
"Why? You're going to call your guards to arrest everyone here, snowflake?" Heeseung said with a challenging smile gracing his face, God he was so...ugh.
"Why would I do that? I'm all for legalities, but there are some things which I don't mind brushing off even though it is dangerous...I know that some people here find solace here, I'm not evil like that." Sunghoon replied, his eyes losing a bit of the iciness and growing a little soft.
Heeseung looked at Sunghoon with an unexplainable gaze, like he was trying to read into Sunghoon's feelings, before giving a small, amused scoff "I see...seems you're one of the better royals I guess...don't let it get to your head, your highness...hopefully I'll see you around soon, snowflake." Heeseung threw a wink at Sunghoon before taking a few steps back and turning to walk away back to his car....and the crowd.
Sunghoon watched as Heeseung left, keeping his eyes on the broad back of the racer, his heart a mess from the wink that Heeseung sent his way. "If I didn't know better, I think he would've fucked you right here right now if we weren't here." Niki's words had Sunghoon blushing before he started coughing out of shock "Jeez Niki, no need to be so crass" James snorted at Niki and patted Sunghoon's back, trying to ease the coughing fit.
"No seriously, I've never seen him so intrigued by someone." Niki said and looked at Sunghoon "Intrigued? By me? I have an unbearable personality." Sunghoon finally calmed down from the shock and looked at Niki with genuine confusion. "Heeseung likes someone who can keep up with him, someone who challenges him head on and isn't afraid of whatever he says next." James said with a small shrug.
"People are afraid. Of him? Please, he's just another human." Sunghoon snorted in disbelief at what he was hearing, how comedic. "Heeseung has quite the reputation in the streets, not everyone can look him in the eyes and talk back to him like that without their ass getting handed back to them, trust me I tried that the first time I raced with him, and I still get nightmares about that." Niki said with a heavy sigh, the redness of humiliation enveloping his face.
"Fuck around and find out...You freshly eighteen trying to insult a twenty-year-old street legend, you probably looked like a kitten fighting a lion" James jabbed at Niki while laughing. "Oh, fuck off, motherfucker, I was trying to be cool and I completely blew it on the first time I met him, I don't know how the fuck he took me in as his friend after that, he calls me Gaegeukae a lot because I'm funny." Niki said with a shrug.
"Gaegeukae...he calls you that? I hate to break it to you Niki, but he's calling you a walking joke." Sunghoon said, pursing his lips to not laugh at Niki's face looking betrayed.
"I-HUH?! A joke? I'm a joke to him?! Oh I'm so breaking his bank account the next time I go out with him, that fucker. It was nice meeting you, Sunghoon. James call me later and for Gods sake answer your text. Right now, I have some tires to slash. Yah! Lee Heeseung-" Niki said before running off to probably pull Heeseung's hair or something.
Sunghoon couldn't help but give a small smile as he watched Niki jog towards Heeseung...he was so at ease here "I see I made the right choice bringing you here, Hoon" James said as he looked at his friend looking relaxed. "Would you like a crowning ceremony for that?" Sunghoon said dryly, rolling his eyes playfully "Oooh that would be sick but nah, a thank you goes a long way." James wiggled his eyebrows at his best friend.
".... Thanks, I guess." Sunghoon said with a defeated sigh, knowing James will hold that like a badge of honour. "Yes! Now let’s go, I'm starving, and I need to sneak you back into the palace before your dad send out a search party for you." James pulled Sunghoon with him back to his bike "You just want free food, you freeloader." Sunghoon snorted and let himself be pulled along. "What's the point of having a wealthy best friend if I don't take those opportunities for you to spend money on me, I wouldn't be doing a good job at being your best friend now would I?" James got on his bike before putting the key in the ignition, letting the vehicle come to life.
"I don't know how the fuck I let you be my best friend." Sunghoon scoffed playfully before getting behind James and wrapping his arms around his middle. "Because no one else would be your friend back in highschool, plus its not like everyone can handle your frosty personality besides me." James looked back at Sunghoon with a knowing smirk, Sunghoon loved James but sometimes he wanted to kick his face.
"I hate you." Sunghoon said dryly. "Love you too, Hoon." James said before speeding off, once again not warning Sunghoon who almost fell off the bike if he wasn't holding onto James.

A month later...
"If you break your coccyx because you can't stand straight, I will laugh at you" Sunghoon looked at James who was flapping his arms around like a bird, trying to balance himself on the ice.
"You're lucky I'm only doing this shit for my fucking research paper, or else I wouldn't gave even bothered to-shit!" James was in the middle of complaining before he slipped and fell on his ass with a yelp. "...You're hopeless...how the hell is skating related to your fluid physics course that you have to risk breaking your spine for it." Sunghoon sighed heavily as he held his hand out and helped James up back on his feet.
"Alot actually, you have the main layer which you're skating on, the pressure and friction of your skating speed, the temperature, and the fluid dynamics." James went on about the physics behind skating and although he looked like a kid in a candy store while explaining the topic to Sunghoon, the prince really didn't want to listen to this anymore. "James, I appreciate that you're the smarter one between the two of us, but that is too much intelligence for my brain to catch up on, how about less talking and more skating?" Sunghoon interrupted his best friend gently before gliding slowly on the ice with James, holding a death grip on his hands so he doesn't fall again.
"Woah, this is fun actually." James said as glided along the ice with Sunghoon, not letting go of his hands.
"Feels like you're floating on air, doesn't it?" Sunghoon chuckled at the younger one who was obviously having fun on the ice. "Yeah...feels freeing." James slowly started letting go of Sunghoon's hands to try skating on his own.
"Been doing this since I was ten, the feeling doesn't get old..." Sunghoon let go of James' hands but skated slower in front of the younger to catch him in case he he loses his balance again
"What are you going to do for the charity gala by the way? Your dad did say that you were going to give a speech." James said as he glided gently towards the side of the ice rink, and holding the railing as he stopped, Sunghoon followed.
"I didn't want to, my father practically forced me to "prepare me for future speeches" when I'm crowned king." Sunghoon said with a heavy sigh. Public speaking was never Sunghoon's strongest suit, he stumbled on his word quite a lot and hated the attention he got for it, ironically, he's born a prince which meant all the attention was on him...from all over the world to be specific.
"Pretend you're sick or something that day-" James started "James...you think I haven't tried that? Even if I'm on my deathbed my father will pull me on that podium to give that speech whether I like it or not, plus he's pressuring me into marriage with some minister’s daughter from cause I'm getting too old apparently...and then I have the fucking coronation to think about next year when he steps down the royal throne, I just-...I don't know what to do..." Sunghoon poured out his feelings to James, who looked concerned and felt pity for how much Sunghoon carried on his shoulders. "Oh Hoon...I'm sorry man." James sighed before bringing Sunghoon in a hesitant hug, the older was a bit reluctant with physical contact, and fuck...Sunghoon felt himself sag into James' welcoming arms before wrapping his own arms around the younger's middle...he won't cry but he did need this for sure.
"What the fuck am I going to do, James? I'm not fit for the royal life." Sunghoon slowly pulled away from the hug and looked at James. "Listen...I'm not royalty and I don't know shit about royal protocol and the duties you do, but I am your best friend...You are fit for royal life, Hoon...You have the brains, the etiquette, the strategies, your own morals and beliefs, and you'll be a great king one day for sure, unlike anything like your father is...trust me when I say you'll be the king that our generation and the coming ones need." James' hands held Sunghoon's arms as he said those words to him. "Great king? Me? Please, I don't have anything to offer as a king, my morals and beliefs won't do anyone any good-" "Sunghoon..." James interrupted Sunghoon, his voice a little clipped.
James never liked when Sunghoon looked down on himself when he was so good at uplifting others, they've been best friends for more than a decade, and he's never lost that habit of being insecure of his abilities. Sunghoon was a very intelligent and logical man who could differentiate right from wrong, and good from evil especially, he was a very attentive and observant person, paying attention to every little detail that was presented in front of him. James has seen how Sunghoon's main concerns were mostly about his people, his subjects.
The young prince had a public letterbox online, ready everything that the people wrote to him, whether it was concerns, worries, gratefulness or just daily doses of happiness, and Sunghoon always replied back to them privately and even provided any financial means when needed to. Laid off? Basic needs were paid for to stay afloat. Can't pay for schooling? The full year is paid off no questions asked. Medication to expensive? Six-month supply delivered right to the doorstep. Hospital bills racking up? Its all covered the next day.
Best Part? Sunghoon never revealed his identity to anyone, people think the person doing all the good deeds is an angel walking among them, not their very own prince, and he preferred to keep it that way because he knows that the wrong people will start taking advantage of his kindness and start demanding absurd things like a penthouse in Seoul, he'd rather play it safe, also because it doesn't feel too good to do good deeds publicly, Sunghoon hated flaunting his wealth and status around, he'd rather feel the excitement in private. God knows he already gets enough attention; he did not need anymore.
"You're not even king yet and you're criticizing yourself, I can't imagine you when you're actually the king...You'd have grey hair before 40." James joked a little, receiving a small playful glare from the prince, yes Sunghoon was very sensitive about his hair. "First of all, rude. Second, I'm not that much of a worry wart, you're exaggerating." Sunghoon said, crossing his arms over his chest, a small pout gracing his face...what a baby.
"And I'm the next heir to the throne, but sure, keep being delusional." James rolled his eyes with an amused scoff leaving his lips, Sunghoon was just clowning himself at this point.
"I want to kick your face so bad but then I won't have any friends, so I'll stick to tolerating your ass I guess." Sunghoon deadpanned.
"Oh your highness, how very noble of you to flatter a mere peasant like me, truly an honor to be in your presence." James was being dramatic and kneeled on the ice as he looked up at Sunghoon.
"You're insufferable, get up James." Sunghoon's lips twitched as he helped his best friend back on his feet.
"Speaking of insufferable, we need to talk about your obvious crush on Heeseung." James wiggled his eyebrows, "I-the fuck are you on about? I don't have a crush on Heeseung." Sunghoon sputtered out, his ears turning a violent shade of red. "Are you seriously going to lie to my face when I caught you stalking his instagram page the whole day last night when we were in your room?" "I wasn't stalking, I was just...curious and wanted to take a look." "Mhm..and taking a look means going through all 274 posts in one hour, whatever you say Hoon....you better give me all the details if you and him ever hook up though." James said with a teasing tone, loving the murderous look on Sunghoon's face with the red covering his cheeks from how flustered he was.
Before Sunghoon could reply, his royal advisor entered the ice rink with a nonchalant look on his face...The young prince sighed before skating towards the entry of the rink, pulling James with him.
"What is it, Sejun? It’s a bit too early to head back to the palace." Sunghoon's tone was clipped but not harsh, he was just formal. "You have an appointment with a client if I'm not mistaken, no name but apparently he presented himself very well, your highness." Sejun said as he went through the small tablet, that contained Sunghoon's schedule for the day.
A client? Since when?
"A client? When was I going to be informed of this exactly?" Sunghoon raised a brow at his royal advisor, not like him to forget to tell him about a crucial information like this. "Forgive me your highness, but this man booked the available slot this morning, which is why I came here to fetch you earlier." Sejun said with his head bowed down a little in shame. "At ease, Sejun...accidents happen, now please let’s go...can't have a client waiting on me any further." Sunghoon said before leaving the rink, sitting down to remove his skates.
"We didn't even get to finish my research." James huffed and took a seat beside Sunghoon before taking off his own skates. "You're a fucking genius...you don't need me to finish your research project, James, you'll figure it out." Sunghoon chuckled at his friend, lacing up his sneakers. "...Shut up, would you?" James was flustered at Sunghoon suddenly complimenting him, and he did the only thing he knew when he was flustered, he shoved Sunghoon slightly.
"I'll call you later, Yufan." Sunghoon teased and left his with advisor. "Yah! Stop sounding like my mom." James shouted behind Sunghoon.

Sunghoon's footsteps echoed in the hallway of the palace, fixing the cufflinks on his blazer as he walked to his private office, not paying any mind to the guards bowing their heads when he along the pristine hallway.
Once he reached the front of his office door, he took a deep breath and put his best mask on before entering the thick brown doors. "Apologies for the wait, your arrival was a little of short notice-" Sunghoon walked into the office before he looked up and stopped in his tracks.
Heeseung....Lee Heeseung, standing right in front of him.
"Don't worry your highness, I didn't even feel it." Heeseung said with a lazy grin plastered on his face at the slight shock on Sunghoon's face.
"Heeseung? What are you doing here?" Sunghoon crossed his arms on his chest, looking at the older one with a small frown on his face.
"You said I needed an appointment if I ever wanted to see you...well here I am, your highness, although it took a month until I found an open slot, I’d say the wait was worth it" Heeseung stood up from his chair and approached Sunghoon, his head tilted to the side a little as he looked the prince up and down.
"An appoint-oh my God, you thought I was being serious. You fool...you could've just texted James and he would've told me and I would've let you in without an appointment." Sunghoon gave an amused chuckle, ignoring the way his heart fluttered at how close Heeseung was to him, he could smell the cologne on him and see every little detail on his face under the sunlight this time, not the streetlights.
"What? Wrong of me to listen to the prince and as he says now?" Heeseung gave a small laugh, and Sunghoon died on the inside and the sound of the laugh and how it tugged at his heartstrings, get it together your highness.
"Sit down Heeseung...and drop the formalities, we know each other." Sunghoon shook his head with a small smile gracing his lips as he moved to sit behind his office desk.
"Do we, snowflake?" Heeseung sat down on the edge of Sunghoon's office desk instead of the chair, of course he won't be normal and sit on the chairs in front of Sunghoon's desk.
"Just call me Sunghoon, I told you to drop that snowflake name." Sunghoon sighed at the older, ignoring the way his ears heat up at the pet name, thank God for his hair covering them.
"Let's see if I listen...look, I need a favor from you." Heeseung started, his eyes finally locked back onto Sunghoon's. "You know me for less than 2 months and you're already wanting favors from the prince? How bold. Oh well, humour me then." Sunghoon raised a brow at Heeseung's audacity before leaning back in his chair, letting the older one continue.
"I need a permit, for the street racing venue." Heeseung said without missing a beat. "No." Sunghoon replied casually. "Come on, I know it sounds insane, Sunghoon-" "Because It is insane." "You didn't even let me finish speaking-" "I don't need to, and no, no, no, did I say no? No." Sunghoon deadpanned, looking at Heeseung like he owed him a bunch of cash.
"I thought you said you weren't like the other royals." Heeseung got off the desk and walked behind Sunghoon's chair, like the sly fox he is.
"Do not twist my words, I may not be in Favor of arresting you and the entire venue for some street racing, but I won't be bending the law just because you wanted me to...street racing is dangerous and illegal already, I just brush it off as long as it doesn't harm other innocent civilians." Sunghoon was aware that Heeseung stood behind his chair which is why he was a little tense, the older wouldn't hurt the prince obviously, but still, it wouldn't hurt to be cautious.
"Oh, how noble of you, your highness, brushing off an illegal car racing event just because one of your best friends are involved in this so-called event...Be honest if it weren't for James' involvement, you would've already issued an arrest warrant for every single one of us." Heeseung said with a scoff, unfair of him to bring James into this. "You think this is just because of James being part of your group? Tsk, how amusing..." Sunghoon gave an amused chuckle, not affected a single bit by Heeseung's words.
"Listen, Heeseung...Whether if James was my best friend or not, my decisions remain the same, I choose to brush off these kind of things because I saw everything I needed to,...I know how much those street racing events mean to some people, that place could be the only place where someone finally feels like they belong, could be a home, an escape, a place to make friends, build up confidence, discovering yourself...I'm the future king, sure, but that doesn't mean I'm an evil prince who wants to see his own people resent him for taking away something that makes them feel human and alive, but it also doesn't mean I would make it legal just to keep a group of people or a community happy when I know that these events can harm and even kill innocent people who are not involved in this." Sunghoon said without a single expression wavering on his face, he was insanely calm and collected.
"With all due respect, Snowflake, I stopped listening after you said 'discovering yourself' so you're going to have to summarise everything you said." Heeseung grinned as he looked down at Sunghoon from his position on the desk.
"That's sort of your problem, I won't repeat myself, but you need to understand that I have a whole nation to please in the future, I'll have to be logical about every decision I make to please both sides. If you want to keep going on with your street racings, go ahead and do it, but getting caught because of being wreck less and putting innocent people in harm’s way is something I can't brush off and I'll side with the law on this one, but I can definitely reroute the law enforcements from the event location as long it’s not in any of the ordinary civilian districts like Myeongdong, Hongdae, Eulijiro...and you know the rest." Sunghoon reasoned with Heeseung, his gaze not faltering away from the older one, his tone wasn't harsh or clipped to say but it was like Sunghoon was telling Heeseung that he won't be responsible if Heeseung goes to jail for illegal racing in broad daylight.
And Heeseung knew...God he knew that well, but he was also a delinquent, a rule breaker to put it nicely, he lived on edge and got off to almost being caught by the law before escaping right between their fingertips. Heeseung never listens, the night streets of Seoul are his playground, his throne, and has been since he was 18 and left his past back in Uiwang-si.
"And do you think I'll listen?" Heeseung walked and approached Sunghoon, before standing right in front of the seated prince, resting his hands on the arm-rest and practically caging Sunghoon between his arms and the chair, leaning down to be face to face with the gorgeous royal, his voice barely a whisper as he looked into those eyes that held nothing but the calm to the storm in his heart, their noses barely brushing against each other "Do you think I'll listen to you of all people, Snowflake?''
Sunghoon felt his breathe stutter at their close proximity, he can easily trace every small detail in Heeseung's face from how close their faces were, Sunghoon could hear his own heartbeat in his ears but couldn't look away from the hypnotizing gaze that belonged to Heeseung...and maybe the elder heard his heartbeat too because his grin widened if anything, seeing how affected the young prince was.
"What's wrong, snowflake? You're awfully quiet for someone who was threatening me jail time two minutes ago for even stepping out of line.” Heeseung teased Sunghoon with that God forsaken smirk that the younger prince wanted to slap off of his face, how could one person look so attractive?
That is still on the table, no changes." Sunghoon said quietly, turning his gaze away from the elder to calm his heart down, fuck he was about to have a heart attack. But Heeseung wasn't one to give up like that, especially not with the handsome ice prince.
"No no no...eyes back here, Snowflake, I wasn't done talking to you." Heeseung whispered as his thumb and pointer finger gently took Sunghoon's chin before turning his head back to bring their gazes back on each other, and fuck...Sunghoon felt his soul leave his body for one full second from Heeseung's bold gesture.
The prince's eyes locked back onto the delinquents without struggle, but this time the air felt more charged...less friendly, and slowly building into something heated, they were stepping into a dangerous territory, this could cross all lines without any chance of going back.
"...Heeseung..." Sunghoon's breathless voice rang through Heeseung's ears...and the elder was gone, he was fucked, and he couldn't even bring himself to care when Sunghoon looked at him like that and said his name in a voice that Heeseung could swear was going to be his favourite song for the rest of his pathetic life.
"Don't do that." Heeseung said quietly, still holding the young prince's gaze. "Do what?" Sunghoon replied, feeling Heeseung's fingers travel from his chin to his cheek, brushing lightly against his skin like he was porcelain. Say my name like that, it messes with my head." Sunghoon felt heat coil in his stomach from Heeseung's words, having an urge to rile up the older even more, get him to go crazy.
Sunghoon was feeling bold, like more bold than he normally is.
Sunghoon grabbed Heeseung by the lapels of his dark denim jacket and pulled him into a searing kiss, his hands fisting into the rough fabric of the denim, and Heeseung didn't hesitate kissing back, one hand making its way to the back of Sunghoon's head and pulling at the dark strands of hair, making the prince gasp in the kiss and giving the older the chance to shove his tongue inside his mouth deepening their kiss, and his other arm curled around Sunghoon's waist, pushing their bodies closer.
Sunghoon felt himself grow weak from the intense kiss, the way Heeseung pressed his body against his and how he controlled their kiss was so attractive, swallowing down a whine that bubbled up in his throat from how the older carried him by his waist and placed him down on his own desk, and stood between his legs without breaking their kiss.
Sunghoon pulled away from the kiss first and breathed heavily as he welcomed the oxygen greeting his poor lungs, Sunghoon's eyes looked at how Heeseung looked and wow, he looked like a downright dream...a wet dream at that. Swollen lips, laboured breathing from how intense their kiss was, hooded eyes, and how Heeseung stared down at him like he wanted to devour him whole if he could.
"Your highness, is everything okay in there?" And of course, Sejun's voice from outside the office had to ruin the moment. "Yes, Sejun everything is fine for God's sake." Sunghoon replied back with a slightly clipped tone, never breaking eye contact with Heeseung, clearly miffed about being interrupted as he was so close to probably having the best fuck of his life-"What?! Sunghoon snap out of it, it was just a kiss." Sunghoon said to himself in his thoughts, his cheeks having a rosy hue.
"You're dangerous, Sunghoon...Dare I say, a fantasy of mine...too bad your minion had to ruin the moment" Heeseung said with a small chuckle, fixing his hair to look more put together. "You mean my royal advisor, Sejun...have some respect for the poor guy, he's the only reason my days aren't a downright mess." Sunghoon let out a scoff and rolled those pretty eyes at the elder, as if he didn't have his tongue down the prince's throat a minute ago.
"Well, you would've been one beautiful downright mess if Sejun didn't interrupt us" Sunghoon felt like he was being set on fire from Heeseung's shameless words, along with the sly wink thrown his way "I-you-have some shame!" Heeseung gave a genuine laugh at Sunghoon being a stuttering mess, finding the prince very adorable with how red his face was "I'll hopefully see you again soon at the arena in Gangnam...maybe I'll race for your heart this time instead of money." Heeseung said with a cocky grin gracing his ugly (very handsome) face. "Race for my heart, huh? You have a lot of competition then, considering who my suitors are." Sunghoon baited Heeseung easily, knowing thr older would take the challenged to probe himself worthy, and patted his own back in his head when he saw the slight tick in Heeseung's jaw and the obvious eyebrow twitch.
"Don't worry about them...I'll make sure you'll only have eyes for me, your highness...11:30 PM next week, don't be late." Heeseung gave Sunghoon one last wink before walking backwards until he left the office, the door closing heavily behind him.
Sunghoon felt himself breathe again, sitting down on his chair before he lost his balance...his heart belonged to Heeseung, but he'll make the older work it...well that is after when Sunghoon asked James for Heeseung's number.

5 days later...
The state dining room was anything but pleasant for Sunghoon, he'd rather be anywhere but here, even the dungeons sounded more entertaining than here.
It was another one of those dinners hosted by his father, the king, with Jang Wonyoung and her own father as well, her father was one of the king's top ministers that worked with him for decades, and to say Sunghoon was anything but interested in the girl chosen for him to marry, he liked men was that not obvious enough from how little he interacted with women?!
Sunghoon felt his heart go out to Wonyoung for trying to get him to even be a little interested, she was very good company if you wanted to talk about anything and everything and she was very knowledgeable about most of the things. Sunghoon and Wonyoung kept a very steady and civil conversation between them, which mostly consisted of Wonyoung's dream of being an elementary school teacher and Sunghoon's ice skating hobby. It was easy back and forth conversation, and Sunghoon did notice that Wonyoung caught on that he wasn't interested in her one but was so sweet, nevertheless.
"It seems you two are getting along well, maybe we should start planning the royal announcement of you two making your relationship public." Sunghoon's father said from the end of the table, the head seat obviously, clearly overjoyed with his son getting along with anyone else other than James.
Sunghoon resisted the urge to roll his eyes at his father's words "We're not getting married, father." Sunghoon said without any hesitation and leaned back in his chair, ready to see drama unfold. "What? But you're getting along so well, Sunghoon." The king said with a slight twitch in his brow, trying not to lose his cool. "With all due respect your majesty, but prince Sunghoon and I are not interested in each other like that." Wonyoung's voice rang out in the dining room, Sunghoon felt a little guilty when Wonyoung pulled herself into this mess as well when it was only him who wasn't interested.
"When you get married, you'll fall in love-" Wonyoung's father said, trying to come up with a pathetic reason to get them to stay together. "Minister Jang, please refrain from giving us any useless reasonings and excuses to why we should be married when your daughter just stated she does not wish to be wed to me, and I as well don't wish to be settled with a woman not of my interest...no offence, Wonyoung." Sunghoon said to the minister in a clipped voice, before softening his tone when he talked back to Wonyoung "None taken, your highness." Wonyoung gave him a small smile.
"Park Sunghoon, watch your tone when talking with Minister Jang...This marriage can go so well if you just think about it, you're turning 24, Sunghoon, its only time before you settle down with a woman and become king, this is getting ridiculous." The king said casually, pushing away his dinner plate and nursed a glass of wine in his hand, not a single ounce of warmth laid in his eyes as he looked at his only son.
The rest of the evening was tense all over and luckily minister Jang and Wonyoung left sooner than they intended to, leaving Sunghoon and his father alone in the dining room that was so big but also suffocating...and cold...always cold.
"This is getting ridiculous, Sunghoon." The king said with a sigh, pouring himself another drink, this time a whiskey.
"What's ridiculous is you trying to set me up with women when I've already told you I like men, nothing will change that, I thought you said you'll support me on that." Sunghoon said coldly, crossing his arms on his chest as he leaned back in his chair.
"I don't...but I'm forced to because you're the only heir to the throne and stripping you from your title will be bad for me." The king said harshly, and that broke something in Sunghoon but he refused to let his father know his words affected him.
"You're heartless, father...Mom would've handed your ass back to you for talking about me like that if she was alive." Sunghoon's voice was void of emotions
Crack
Sunghoon felt the numbing pain from the harsh slap to the side of his face, it did hurt...but no physical pain could equal the pain of his father actually laying a hand on him without any hesitation.
"Do not speak of your mother in such manner." Sunghoon was surprised how the temperature didn't drop from how cold his father's voice was.
"I was wondering when you would crack...although I do admire your zero hesitation when you laid your hand on me, your majesty." Sunghoon mocked his father with an amused scoff, feeling heat on the side of his face that was impacted by his father's rough hit.
"Enough, Park Sunghoon...your defiance and back talk is becoming more pathetic instead of actually affecting me, give it up before making yourself look more of a fool than you already are." The king was harsh and blunt with his words, a trait Sunghoon took after unfortunately, never thinking how much words can affect one person.
"If I was a fool...don't you think I would've stooped low to your level years ago, father?" Sunghoon replied without missing a beat, finding a sick satisfaction in seeing the tick in his father's jaw from anger.
"I wonder where I went wrong with raising you to be a competent king and not the court jester." Sunghoon gave his father a mocking laugh "You raised me? Last, I remember you were very busy to even eat at the same table with me, and you're talking about raising me? Look who's the court jester now...I raised myself and nobody else." The king didn't respond but did give an unfamiliar look towards Sunghoon.
Sunghoon had a very strong personality despite being introverted, anyone who's met him would tell you the same, he is very opinionated, quick-witted, blunt, and wasn't shy when it came to putting people in their place, he did it in a cold and calm manner instead of losing his temper. The title 'Ice prince' was given to him for this very reason, his words were cold and sharp, but it was delivered with such grace that it caught the other person off guard, and maybe even terrified, before thinking twice to cross the young prince again in a battle that they already lost before it even began.
"I will not marry Wonyoung even if they put a gun to my head, neither she nor I deserve to be forced into a marriage we don't want...piece of advice, consider what I want first before making decisions that only benefit you, its very helpful sometimes your majesty." Sunghoon said before turning away and leaving the state dining room, his heart pumping full of rage, he can already feel a headache coming.
Sunghoon entered his private bedroom before shutting the door with full force, sighing shakily as he pressed his back to the wooden door and slid down to the floor with tears already sliding down his face. The young prince was exhausted, both physically and mentally, the loop was never ending with his tarnished relationship with his father, always arguing with him over the same things like a broken record yet his father refused to even listen to him even once.
Sunghoon's hand made it towards the delicate silver chain around his neck that he never took off since he was ten...this belonged to his mother, and it was the only thing he could save before his father threw away everything that had to do with her.
"Hoonie...promise to never let anyone tell you what is wrong and what is right for you...trust your heart, my little love...be strong for me...never bow your head for anyone...make me proud...I love you always, Sunghoon."
Sunghoon was forever haunted by those words, especially with how his mother looked like in her final hours...frail, weak, but still so beautiful...his mother's words were forever tattooed in his heart and he tried, God knows he did, but it was draining him on the daily, it was mentally taxing...he was holding it together for his mother, James...and maybe now Heeseung.
Heeseung...Sunghoon felt his stomach flutter with butterflies even with just the thought of the delinquent who carved himself a space in Sunghoon's heart without permission, typical of him to not listen to anybody and do as he wishes.
Sunghoon felt himself blush when he remembered what went down in his office, and scoffed at how pathetic he was from folding so easily under Heeseung's hypnotizing gaze...and the kiss, good God Sunghoon felt like he was about to explode from even the thought of how right he felt in Heeseung's arms while being kissed until his lungs burned for oxygen. If only they weren't interrupted, he was sure Heeseung would've taken him on any solid surface and Sunghoon would've let him
The very thought of Heeseung manhandling him into any position possible had him breathing heavily, he knew the elder was rough and fast in the streets, could he be the same in the bedroom? Sunghoon imagined all the things Heeseung would do to him, maybe pull his hair? Wrap his hand around his throat and cut off his breathing? Would he whisper the filthiest things in Sunghoon's ear while losing himself in the pleasure or would he praise him with the sweetest words while taking Sunghoon apart so slowly? Would Heeseung take him in his hellcat after an intense race even if the space was small?
Sunghoon's imagination ran wild, and he bit his lip, swallowing down the whine that bubbled in his throat when he saw the obvious tent in his pants and feeling like he was being set on fire from the thoughts occupying his brain.
Sunghoon was fucked...royally fucked...but he had to pull himself together, after all he was going to the very event that Heeseung told him about in two days time.

2 days later...Day of the race
"What?! The fuck you mean you guys made out in your office-mph!" Niki's outburst was cut off by James covering his mouth, shocked at Sunghoon's words, before swatting his hand away from his mouth.
"Yeah Niki, go ahead and air out my affairs like that why don't you?" Sunghoon said with a small glare aimed at the younger, who had the decency to look a little ashamed at least for his little outburst, I mean you can't really blame him, it’s not every day that he hears one of his closest friends made out with royalty, the future king at that.
The Gangnam Boulevard was lively tonight, there were more attendees this time and Sunghoon did think that maybe tonight would be a big showdown according to what Niki said, Heeseung would be racing against a retired and very well-known street racer tonight, no one knew who was coming out of hiding to race Heeseung so that part remained a surprise.
"Sorry but you're telling me if your dumbass royal advisor didn't interrupt you, then you would've had the best fuck of your life? Damn you got cockblocked and blueballed at the same time, let me give my condolences to you, your highness." Niki doubled over, laughing his heart out, and James couldn't help but let out a small chuckle "Wow Hoon, the only time you were about to get laid happened to be interrupted by Sejun, I don't know if I should laugh or feel sorry for you."
"Fuck both of you. Especially you Niki, you're lucky I'm not calling my advisor to have you arrested for insulting the prince." Sunghoon kicked Niki in his shin, not too hard, before leaning back against the wall.
"Please don't, I literally have only 65,000 won to my name in my bank account, I can't be going to trial because of you being cockblocked." Niki snorted at Sunghoon's words. "You didn't get paid yet?" James looked at the younger one "I did, but I already spent more than half pf my earnings on this hoodie that I'm wearing and some new gear for the car." Niki pointed at his chrome hearts hoodie that he was wearing.
"...You doing okay?" Sunghoon raised a brow and looked at Niki, feeling a bit of concern at the lack of finances. "Huh? Oh...Oh wait yes, I'm fine! I live with Heeseung, so I don't really pay for shit unless I have to, I don't need help I swear." Niki reassured Sunghoon as he rubbed the back of his head, feeling a tad bit flustered at the care in Sunghoon's voice. "Alright...just checking in... Just...if you need help let me know, Niki." Sunghoon gave Niki a small smile, to which Niki looked away quickly feeling his face burn hot from the care and concern.
"Are you offering to be my sugar daddy, Sunghoon?" Niki teased, his face still on fire. "This is why I'm not nice." Sunghoon sighed before flinching at the sudden engine roar nearing coser and closer to the Gangnam Alleyway.
And there it was, the all too familiar black hellcat that belonged to Heeseung coming to a screeching halt in the middle the screaming crowd...followed by a red Nissan GT-R that stopped right beside the hellcat.
"No fucking way...That's Myung Jaehyun, he used to be tie to tie with Heeseung before he retired almost two years ago from a heavy burn scar on the right side of his body after his last race with a rookie." Niki said as he observed Jaehyun coming out of his Nissan, a barely healed scar on his collarbone peeking from his leather jacket.
"A rookie? I'm guessing it had to do something with his car and not the rookie being too talented to beat a street legend?" Sunghoon looked at the interaction between Jaehyun and Heeseung, they were friendly, but the tension was high for sure.
"His tire was loose, and he went crashing into a pole, barely made it out alive if it weren't for his friends...he was a master drifter, even Heeseung couldn't master his drifts when they used to race despite him always coming out first place." Sunghoon took in Niki's words as his eyes remained on the two racers in the middle of screaming supporters, he couldn't imagine the pain Jaehyun was in for just missing to check if his car was in good condition.
Heeseung's gaze tore away from his opponent before looking around to see if his lucky charm was around somewhere...and bingo. His eyes immediately locked on the prince's eyes that were already locked on his, like he was already waiting for the elder to notice that he was being observant.
"What's got your eyes going all cuckoo, Hee?" Jaehyun's amused voice rang through his ears but he barely paid any mind to it and responded casually "My lucky charm." Jaehyun gagged playfully at his friend going all heart eyes on the future king "You realise you're in dangerous territory right? Messing with royalty and all." Heeseung looked back at Jaehyun with a smirk "I'm not Lee Heeseung without taking risks now am I?" The younger looked at him with a playful disgusted look "God, look at you, you're down bad for a man who is out of your league." Heeseung just shrugged, he was confident that Sunghoon will be his, he'll basically do anything to win the prince's heart.
"You haven't seen my flirting skills yet, Myungjae...come, I'm sure the prince would love to meet one of his subjects" Heeseung scoffed slightly and grabbed Jaehyun by his wrist before dragging him towards the trio at the very corner of the alleyway.
James was the first to notice their presence "How did you convince a street legend to come out of retirement for the night?"
"I'm very persuasive when I want to be, Yufan, thought you knew that...Ki, stop staring" Heeseung snorted at the James' words before letting go of Jaehyun's wrist, his attention going to his best friend's starstruck eyes when he saw Jaehyun. "I-sorry...I'm a huge fan." Niki blushed as Heeseung called out his obvious drooling when he saw Jaehyun just standing next to him like it was another Wednesday.
"Nishimura, right? I've seen you race a few times; your swerves are sick." Jaehyun chuckled at how red Niki got from the praise before bowing to him bashfully, James was not happy and openly scoffed under his breathe from Niki blushing at another man's praises, Heeseung caught it but didn’t say anything besides grinning from the obvious jealousy.
"And this...is Prince Sunghoon, my lucky charm...Snowflake meet Jaehyun." Heeseung finally locked his gaze on Sunghoon's, the prince looked anything but warm but that's just his personality.
"You finally acknowledged my existence, thought I was going to have to introduce myself...Nice to meet you, Jaehyun." Sunghoon rolled his eyes at Heeseung before giving Jaehyun a brief nod in greeting.
"Your highness, what an honour." Jaehyun was intimidated slightly from Sunghoon's frosty behaviour as he bowed slightly to the prince. Sunghoon raised an amused brow before chuckling "At ease, Jaehyun, no need for all the formalities, treat me like everyone else here...although you could teach some manners to your delinquent friend here."
"Baby, you wound me, delinquent? Really? I thought I was in your good books." Heeseung pretended to be hurt and placed his hand on his chest as he approached Sunghoon who was leaning his back on the wall, exaggerating like he was shot in his heart.
"So, we've upgraded from snowflake to baby now, huh? Can't say I'm exactly eager to find out what other names you've come up with for me." Sunghoon felt his heart stutter at their proximity, but masked it perfectly with his nonchalant expression, staring Heeseung dead in the eye with no problem.
"Got a whole list, baby...want to hear the rest or should we schedule a date for that?" Sunghoon rolled his eyes at Heeseung shamelessly flirting with him while surrounded by their friends, who were very much entertained by the scene.
"You're so desperate, it’s starting to look pathetic." Sunghoon scoffed, amusement lacing his tone.
"Fuck, I love when you talk dirty to me, keep going and I might need a change of pants." Heeseung chuckled, his right hand placed on the wall, leaning down and closing their proximity even more, being nose to nose.
"You're insufferable, I can't stand you." Sunghoon ignored how Heeseung's words messed with his brain.
"You can't stand me? Sit on my face then, maybe that'll do both of us some good." Heeseung said back shamelessly, James choked on air in the back and Niki gagged visibly, and Jaehyun was just entertained.
Sunghoon's breathe hitched at Heeseung's crass words, fuck if Heeseung keeps going he will cum in his pants with no shame, his heart beating too loudly for someone who claimed to be non-chalant about everything.
"You're thinking about it, hmm? All you have to do is ask, snowflake, I already worship the ground you walk on...nothing wrong with putting me in my place sometimes." Heeseung whispered in Sunghoon's ear, the air tickling his earlobes, causing his legs to shake a little from the mental image being played in his head, and his fingers unconsciously finding their way to Heeseung's shirt, gripping tightly to hold himself upright.
"You're insane, Heeseung..." Sunghoon whispered to the older, his tone losing the frostiness for a quick second.
"I am... but only when it comes to you, baby." Heeseung leaned down and stole a quick kiss from Sunghoon, who didn't even have time to react, before winking as he left the confined space between them "See you after the race, snowflake."
Sunghoon watched as Heeseung and Jaehyun went back to the centre to prep for the race, still in shock from both the crass words and the kiss that Heeseung stole from him.
"Hoon, you look like you're going to pass out." James looked at his poor best friend who looked like his soul left his body. "You think? Heeseung just admitted to wanting Sunghoon to suffocate him, I'd probably have a heart attack too....plus he kissed him in public." Niki snorted and approached the prince, patting his back to try to bring him back to earth.
"I...I... fuck me...I'm so fucked." Sunghoon said and sank to his knees against the wall, his head in his hands, contemplating his life choices.
"Literally or literally literally...because it seems to me it’s both, I'm betting all my remaining pennies that you and Heeseung will fuck tonight." Niki said with a laugh before yelping at James smacking the back of his head "You're so useless, that's not helping him, that's making him spiral even more, dumb bitch." Niki pouted at James but shrugged before kneeling to Sunghoon's level.
"Look, Sunghoon...I'm not just saying this because Heeseung is my best friend, but he really is insane about you...since he met you he hasn't stopped talking about you, I know Heeseung is arrogant and cocky, but his heart is in the right place, he's not a player...he always dreamed of love even if his past wasn't very loving. I know you and him are from different social statuses but give him a chance to see who he really is under that arrogance and confidence; you'd be surprised with how gentle he is." Niki's words stuck to Sunghoon in a way that he didn't know was possible, fuck was Heeseung really that crazy over him despite his unbearable attitude?
"I've known Heeseung for years, Hoon...and I haven't seen him so intrigued and interested in a person until you came along the first night." James finished off Niki's words with a gentle smile, kneeling to Sunghoon's level as well.
Sunghoon took in their words and stared at Heeseung in the centre of the streets, checking up on the engine before the race began...his heart belonged to the older since the very day he came into his office demanding that damn permit.
Sunghoon didn't know what came over him, but he suddenly felt very bold. Standing up from his place and walking towards Heeseung, pushing through the crowd of attendees who paid no mind to him and making it to the front where he was faced with Heeseung's back.
"Heeseung." Sunghoon called out firmly.
The elder didn't flinch but turned from his car before facing the prince with a raised brow "Really snowflake? You're exposing yourself to the public you know-mph!" Sunghoon cut him off by grabbing his shirt and forcing him forward before planting his lips on Heeseung's, engaging him in a heated kiss.
Heeseung was shocked but quickly recovered as his hands made its way to Sunghoon's waist, kissing him back with equal fevor, not complaining one bit from kissing the gorgeous prince. Sunghoon bit Heeseung's bottom lip before pushing his tongue through the elder's lips making their kiss more passionate. Heeseung groaned in the kiss, loving this side of Sunghoon, before one of his hands made it to the back Sunghoon's head and pulled at the black strands harshly causing the prince to whine in their heated make out.
Sunghoon was the first to pull away, breathing heavily through his kiss swollen lips "If you don't win tonight, I'll never let you see me again...you better win, Lee Heeseung." Sunghoon said firmly through laboured breathing as he stared into those very eyes that make him lose any train of thoughts.
"Fuck, baby...what's gotten into you all of a sudden?" Heeseung cursed, his hands gripping Sunghoon's hips firmly and pressing their bodies close together.
"I'm serious, Heeseung...Win the fucking race or I'll make sure you won't see me again." Sunghoon repeated, his free hand making its way to the elder's jaw and gripping it tightly, not letting their gazes tear away from each other.
"Anything you want, Sunghoon...anything you want, it’s yours baby." Heeseung said to Sunghoon, his eyes holding a promise that he was very willing to fulfil.
"Good...now go win that race." Sunghoon smirked before giving Heeseung one last kiss and shoving him away before walking back to his spot near James and Niki, leaving the older more motivated and energised than ever.
"Holy fuck, you're as insane as he is." Niki said as Sunghoon came back to stand beside him, this time with more confidence.
"He wants me? He has to earn it." Sunghoon shrugged, crossing his arms on his chest as he watched Heeseung and Jaehyun get in their respective cars.
"Okay that's hot, I won't lie, I should do that too." Niki said, a low whistle emitting from his lips.
"You're saying you want me to do that?" James said to Niki with a raised brow and a small grin gracing his face. Niki blushed before smacking his arm "Idiot, you don't even race."
"Doesn't mean I won't try it." James shrugged at the younger. "Pfft, you'd risk your life for my heart?" Niki snorted, playing it off a joke.
"I'd do anything for you, Riki." James said, his tone not having an ounce of playfulness in it.
Sunghoon watched his two friends basically confess to each other "If you two are done flirting can we go back to watching the race? You can kiss later"
"Alright! Listen up everybody!" A man no older than 24 stood between both cars, grabbing the attention of all the attendees, I mean he is yelling in a megaphone after all, "Last year, Lee Heeseung broke the record for fastest racer to reach from Dosan-daero street which is here, all the way to Apujeong-ro street and back in 53 seconds flat, winning against Choi Yeonjun...this year the race is between Lee Heeseung, the ace of the streets..." The crowd cheered in support for Heeseung "And our very own retired legend, Myung Jaehyun..." The screams were defeaning at the mere mention of Jaehyun's name. "Tonight, we will witness to see if Heeseung can beat his own record...or will Jaehyun claim the title and knock Heeseung clean off his throne...The stakes are high, and the bets are closed...five million won is the prize money to whichever racer can beat last year's record."
"Damn...that much money can solve half my problems" Niki whistled at the mention of the amount "Yeah right, if anything it will make your shopping addiction worse." James scoffed at the younger playfully.
Sunghoon gave a light chuckle when Niki shoved James, making the elder almost fall flat on his face in front of all these attendees. "Stop acting like children and keep watching."
"Racers, are you ready?" The two engines roared to life, both racers looking relaxed and confident as their hands gripped their steering wheels.
"On your mark.... get set.... GO!" The two racers took off once they heard the gunshot, speeding off from the alleyway to the very busy streets on Gangnam.
While Jaehyun depended on shortcuts and strategies, Heeseung depended on speed and agility...the main goal was to reach back to Dosan-daero alleyway in mere record time no matter which road you take.
Heeseung noticed Jaehyun taking the shortcut, but not all shortcuts are available, are they? Heeseung scoffed under his breathed before he continued holding his speed, swerving through oncoming Gangnam traffic with ease without breaking a sweat, after all he was the ace of the streets, he knew his way through Gangnam.
Meanwhile Jaehyun cursed when he saw the dead end from construction work ahead, pressing his foot hard on the break, pulling hard on the hand break causing the car to drift easily into a narrow alleyway, bringing him back in the main street where he saw Heeseung was ahead of him by a full mile.
The two racers knew the streets of Gangnam by heart, but Heeseung was always a step ahead when it came to avoiding alleyways where cop cars were hidden to catch anyone driving recklessly in the busy streets, he swerved into one of the abandoned alleyways in Nonhyeon-ro street to cut his time by five seconds while Jaehyun sped up and did a full U-turn in Apgujeon-ro 10-gil street to go back to Dosan-daero.
Heeseung caught the familiar view of smoke and red bright white lights "There we go...seems you fell behind once again, Jaehyun." Heeseung laughed to himself before speeding up and crossing the finish line, with Jaehyun right beside him, missing the finish line by a very thin hair.
The crowd exploded in cheers when Heeseung made it back first, keeping his title and breaking his own record at 51.27 seconds. "And he has done it again! Lee Heeseung broke his own record by 1.73 seconds!"
"Lets fucking go! I knew he wasn't going to lose this one!" Niki screamed as he ran towards where Heeseung finally came to a stop and got out of the car before being tackled by the younger male in a celebratory hug.
Sunghoon and James watched from afar at how everyone celebrated Heeseung's victory again. "You know he never takes the prize money for himself?" James said as he stood closer to Sunghoon. "Elaborate." Sunghoon said without taking his eyes away from Heeseung, clearly smitten. "Okay he does take a small portion of it, but any money he wins through racing...he donates it straight to medical research centres and adoption centres."
Sunghoon took in James' words as his eyes remained on Heeseung and Jaehyun shaking hands, with Jaehyun clearly noy having any grudge against the elder who won fair and square. "Really? You're not just saying this for me to fall for him more are you?" James snorted at Sunghoon's words "Since when did I ever lie to you, Hoon? And no... he really does give the money away. According to him 'If I can make someone's life a little less heavy by doing this then I'll do it for the rest of my life'...his words not mine." James said and watched as Sunghoon's gaze held softness when he finished talking.
The crowd cheered when Heeseung was given the briefcase filled with cash, his rightfully earned prize, before the heard the familiar sounds of police sirens.
"Shit, Niki!" James cursed before running towards the younger as the crowd started panicking and running back to their vehicles to escape before the cops catch them.
Sunghoon felt his anxiety skyrocket when James left him alone to go grab Niki and escape, he was left to fend for himself in the sea of panicked people. Sunghoon considered running but knowing him, he won't get as far as he wanted before the cops catch him and interrogate him, the fucking future king of Seoul, before facing the wrath of his own father for being involved in illegal street racing.
Sunghoon looked around to see any escape route, feeling lost as he saw the police sirens approach closer to the venue. The prince cursed under his breathe before he started running towards one of the alleyways once he saw cops leaving their vehicles to chase after the attendees. Sunghoon only ran as fast as his legs could take him, perks of being a skater, he didn't look back and kept running forward, feeling pity for the ones that were caught.
Fear ran through his veins, his lungs burned from the lack of oxygen, his legs were on fire from his speed, adrenaline ran through his entire body, and he felt cold despite sweating so much under his clothes...Sunghoon was scared, that’s it.
He barely managed to run into a narrow alleyway before ducking behind one of the many cardboard boxes that were stacked up to the top. Holding his breathe to not get caught, Sunghoon listened to the quick footsteps of the cops getting more distant from where he was before finally taking a shakey breathe and welcoming the oxygen in his burning lungs as his entire body started trembling from how close he was from losing everything.
Sunghoon sat there for a few more minutes just to be safe, and to calm his nerves before leaving the alleyway and into the empty streets of wherever the fuck he was right now...great, now Sunghoon was lost. Groaning weakly under his breathe, Sunghoon grabbed the hood of his jacket and covered up his head to hide his identity a little bit in case he ran into unwanted guests before he started walking into the barely lit street of...presumably Gangnam district.
Sunghoon walked and caught sight of multiple drunk people just looking miserable as they openly drank their sorrows away, he winced and sped up his steps when he heard a few of them laughing very loudly...God he really needed to get out of here before he was found dead in the most pathetic way possible.
Sunghoon heard quick footsteps behind him and panicked before started taking off again, thinking it was a cop that finally caught him, and Sunghoon felt tears slowly bloom in his eyes from the fear that engulfed him so uncomfortably.
The footsteps got closer before the stranger caught his wrist roughly "No! No! Please I had nothing to do with it I'm sorry-" Sunghoon screamed and tried removing his hand from the stranger's rough grasp.
"Hey, hey! Sunghoon it’s me!" Sunghoon stopped resisting and looked back to see Heeseung, breathing heavily as they finally came to a stop under a barely lit lamppost.
"Heeseung,,,but-how...I thought you left with James and Niki-" Sunghoon started, feeling like his heart was about to combust in his chest "I let James take the car and get himself and Niki away from there...I went looking for you because I didn't see you once the cops arrived...I thought they caught you and I went everywhere in Gangnam to look for you, snowflake...I couldn't leave you behind." Heeseung cut Sunghoon off before hands cupped Sunghoon's face and stared into his eyes that were filled with unshed tears.
Sunghoon gasped under his breathe before crashing face first into Heeseung's chest and sobs wracked through his body...he was safe...he was safe.
Heeseung didn't hesitate and wrapped his arms around Sunghoon tightly, holding the fear-stricken prince as he sobbed his heart out into his chest "You're safe, snowflake...you're okay...I'm here now" Sunghoon buried his face in Heeseung's shoulder, his arms wrapping around the elder's middle and slowly started calming down...all thanks to Heeseung carding his fingers through his hair and kissing the top of his head in the most gentle way ever.
"...I was scared, Heeseung..." Sunghoon whispered shakily, holding onto Heeseung tightly. "I know, snowflake...I know you were...that’s why I came running after you, I knew you'd be scared." Heeseung's gentle voice soothed Sunghoon in a way he didn't know was possible.
"I'm so going to kill James for letting me fend for myself." Sunghoon groaned before pulling away slightly to look at Heeseung's face properly, his eyes red with dried tear streaks covering his face.
Heeseung smiled at how adorable Sunghoon looked, his fingers gently wiping under Sunghoon’s eyes, his heart melting at how the prince welcomed his touch "Don’t worry, baby...the next time I see him I'll castrate him...although I'm sure Niki already has him by the balls for leaving you in a place you're unfamiliar with." Sunghoon gave a small snort before sniffling one last time.
"Congratulations on your victory by the way..." Sunghoon said quietly as his hands made their way to rest on Heeseung's chest, blushing a little as Heeseung's hands made their way to his waist and pressed their bodies closer together.
"All thanks to you being my lucky charm, snowflake." Heeseung kissed the top of Sunghoon's head.
"...Here's your reward I guess" Sunghoon said indifferently before bringing Heeseung in a gentle kiss, humming at how easily the older folded under zero pressure in their gentle lip-lock.
And Heeseung could swear this was better than any prize money he's ever recieved in his entire racing career, he deepened their kiss by biting Sunghoon's bottom lip and hummed at the slight metallic taste that lingered in their kiss.
Sunghoon gasped at the slight sharp pain but welcomed it nonetheless as he gripped onto the elder's shirt, thinking he'd fall if he lets go. As much as they wanted to continue, they were humans after all and needed air to live, and Heeseung took the initiative to pull away from their kiss gently.
Sunghoon whined at the sudden pull away before trying to chase Heeseung's lips back into another make out session "Baby, slow down...we need to breathe first and I promise I'll kiss you until you can't breathe anymore..." Heeseung chuckled breathlessly at how desperate Sunghoon looked.
"You're denying the prince what he needs?" Sunghoon said through laboured breathing, playing dirty and using his royalty card.
"Nice try, but that won't work on...come on your highness, we need to get you somewhere warm." Heeseung chuckled at Sunghoon rolling his eyes at him before they started walking in the empty streets towards...somewhere.
"Do you even know where we're going or are you just walking?" Sunghoon put his hands in his jacket pocket, feeling his fingers about to freeze off from the cold February winter of Seoul.
"I'm taking you back to my place." Heeseung walked into one of the buildings, with Sunghoon right behind him. "How bold, at least buy me dinner first before you try taking me to bed, Heeseung." Sunghoon said dryly, going upstairs with the elder delinquent.
Heeseung unlocked his apartment door before ushering Sunghoon to go in first "Sunghoon, if I wanted to fuck you, I would've done it on the first night I met you, besides my place has thin walls, wouldn't want anyone else hearing you while I take you apart." Sunghoon blushed heavily at Heeseung's words before smacking his shoulder lightly "Do you have to word it like that?" "Can't, you make it too easy to tease you."
Sunghoon groaned before walking into the living room to find it slightly messy from all the mechanic tools laying around in every corner of the living room, "Didn't know you run a garage in your own apartment." Sunghoon said as he picked up a torque wrench from the coffee table and inspected it "wanted to own a garage in Gangnam at one point with Niki, turns out its not as easy to have one without selling a both my legs and an arm...gave up on it soon after." Heeseung replied from the kitchen as he grabbed two beer bottles and popped the lids off with his teeth, to which Sunghoon found very attractive.
"A mechanic? You? I thought you would consider being an F1 driver at the very least." Sunghoon accepted the beer bottle that was handed to him before sitting down on the couch beside Heeseung. "Nah, professional race car driving isn't really my style, I just do street racing for some easy cash to pay rent and all of that, Niki does the food shopping for us so that's his contribution."
Sunghoon hummed before taking a huge gulp from his beer, enjoying the slightly bitter aftertaste, "In this short amount of time that I've known you, you never once asked about my royal duties or my parents...not the curious type, are you?" Heeseung scoffed, amused, and took a sip of his own beer before placing his bottle on the coffee table in front of him. "I've wanted to, but I'm not the one to be nosey unless they tell me themselves..."
"Commendable, I'll say...so, why street racing?" Sunghoon asked, his tone gentle as all his attention was on Heeseung.
"I was always a goody two shoes when I was a kid...wanted to see what it felt like to be breaking the rules for one day, 13-year-old me would have a heart attack if he knew I basically broke all the laws that applied to the streets." Heeseung laid further back on the couch, manspreading, feeling relaxed around the prince.
"No kidding, I can't imagine how many times the cops have failed to catch you." "Too many to count, I've been doing this since I was 18 so almost 7 years of failure from their side." "Mid-twenties and still not giving up on the delinquency?" "Not a chance, baby." The pair chuckled at each other, their conversation flowing smoothly between each other.
Both of them grew quiet and stared at each other as if nothing else mattered in the world besides this moment...it was peaceful.
"Why the long stare, snowflake?" Heeseung said quietly, his own gaze not looking away from Sunghoon's hypnotizing eyes.
"Makes me wonder what made you into the man you are now...I feel like I'm talking to two versions of you at the same time...the Heeseung that's right here is flirty, cocky, and confident...what about the other version of you that I haven't met yet?" Sunghoon said softly, his head resting on his arm.
Heeseung felt his eyes widen slightly at the prince's words, it was so specific but so spot on, nobody knew of Heeseung's past besides Niki and James, and those were just snippets of what he chose to tell them.
"Wow Hoon...who knew you could see right through me? I'm impressed." Heeseung gave a small chuckle before finally ripping his gaze away Sunghoon and staring out the open window of his apartment, admiring the nightlife that Gangnam had to offer.
"I'm very observant...every time you won a race, I saw you get out of the car and look around for someone despite being surrounded by people...like you had hope that the person you're looking for is somehow there to celebrate your victory with you..." Sunghoon hit the nail on the head, and that scared Heeseung but also made him fall for Sunghoon more than he already did, more love than his heart could ever give.
Heeseung sighed heavily, letting the silence between them linger before turning his head to look at Sunghoon again..."My parents set high expectations for me since I started talking basically...they chose what school I'd go to, what college I'd study in, what career I'd go for, who I would be married to, basically they had my whole life planned and controlled like it was a list..I was the only kid, never had siblings...I remember the first time I came home with a B and I..." Heeseung trailed off, the memory too painful...like it only happened yesterday.
"Hey...you don't have to keep going, Heeseung." Sunghoon reassured the elder and placed his hand on Heeseung's arm to provide some sort of comfort, "no its fine, I have to tell someone eventually...the thing is, I was 9, and my father burned me with the tip of his cigar twice to apparently 'learn my lesson' all because of a stupid grade." Heeseung let a harsh scoff leave his mouth as he leaned forward with his arms on his knees and his head bowed down, his hands shook in anger from the awful memory.
Sunghoon felt his heart break at the scene, he sighed and moved from the couch before kneeling on the ground to meet Heeseung's eyes before taking the elder's shakey hands in his, intertwining them...Sunghoon knew him talking wouldn't do the trick for now, so he sat there and waited for Heeseung to continue.
Heeseung looked at his and Sunghoon's hands being intertwined before he continued, his thumbs absentmindedly rubbing Sunghoon's knuckles "As I grew up, I brought home straight As, never complained once, I didn't sneak around or break any rules they set for me, I didn't even have friends in school...I started hating them when I got accepted to Yonsei for Aerophysics, I started rebelling but they couldn't do shit since I still brought home those straight As. Third year rolled around, and I told them that I'm bi and the next thing I know is that I'm kicked out of the house and they pulled my funding from Yonsei, with the fuckass board forcing my dropout from the university completely...I came from Uiwang-si to Seoul and the rest is history...." Heeseung finally looked up into Sunghoon's gaze, and the softness in those eyes scared him.
"It’s not your fault, Heeseung...you did all of this in your teens because you just wanted genuine love from your parents...You wanted them to be proud of you from the heart." Sunghoon said softly, standing up from his position before setting himself down on Heeseung's lap, one hand settled on his shoulder and the other behind the elder's head as he played with his hair.
"They didn't know love...hell, I don't even think they loved each other and got married because of some arranged marriage, and I had to get caught up in this too apparently , they only knew love if it came in the letter A on my transcripts...I always hate how I look for them after the races to see if they watched...why would they be there? It’s not like they bothered looking for me after kicking me out." Heeseung said with a scoff, his hands making their way to Sunghoon's sides and holding him there.
"The little boy in you is still looking for his mom and dad, Heeseung...he still is looking for their love, their pride, their support..." Sunghoon placed his finger under Heeseung's jaw and lifted it upwards to meet his eyes.
"I know, Heeseung...I know the feeling of wanting the approval of a parent that barely cares for you..." Sunghoon remembered his own father, the king, barely acknowledging his existence once his mother passed away and only cared when Sunghoon was in his training classes or anything that connects him to his future as the heir to the throne.
"You want to tell me? I'm a good listener; Niki can attest to that." Heeseung joked a little, lightening the tense mood of the living room, and his heart jumped a little when he saw the small smile that graced Sunghoon's gorgeous face.
"I'm sure you are, but the mood is already heavy, I don't want to double down on that...I'll tell you everything another day but know this, my father doesn't approve of me liking men either, so we have something in common." Sunghoon said as his fingers traced every detail on Heeseung's face.
"What? You're messing with me right? The King? Isn't he the one that approves of organizing the Seoul Queer Culture Festival every year, and you're telling me he doesn't approve of his own son liking men?" Heeseung was genuinely surprised by the revelation "Ironic, isn't it? He was trying to force a marriage between me and the minister's daughter the other day and wasn't happy when I reminded him that I'm not interested in women like that, the cherry on top was him hitting me in the face." Sunghoon said with an eyeroll as he remembered the scene very vividly.
Heeseung wasn't happy with Sunghoon said, in fact he was fighting a whole battle in his heart from the rage running through every vein in his body. "He hit you. For choosing yourself?" "He said he's only tolerating me since I'm the only heir to the throne and he can't disown me or throw me out of the royal family line...not like I'm enjoying the royal life anyway." Sunghoon said with a shrug.
"Don't like the heavy burdens and expectations set for you?" Heeseung's hands rubbed up and down on Sunghoon's side in a comforting manner. "It’s not that, I can handle pressure and burdens, its the attention that gets to me...I was always a shy and very introverted kid, seems I didn't lose that habit yet even at 24. I easily stutter and stumble upon my words when I speak to strangers, I rarely make public appearances unless its nighttime, I despise giving speeches, believe it or not I got a D in communication skills because of how closed off I was to my classmates...I'm just uncomfortable around people I don't know."
"Hard to believe that when you're the one that talked back to me the night we met without hesitation." Heeseung said with a grin "Hey! You provoked me by saying I came in a carriage." Sunghoon defended and crossed his arms on his chest, his eyes narrowing at Heeseung "I was just messing around, and you didn't take the joke well, baby." Heeseung laughed before groaning as Sunghoon smacked the back of his head "mention it again and I'll have a warrant out for your arrest."
"Arrest? For what, stealing your heart?" Heeseung wiggled his eyebrows "At least try to be original and not corny, you idiot." Sunghoon shook his head at Heeseung, feeling like a headache would come soon.
The room echoed with Heeseung's laughter and Sunghoon knew he was gone...and he had no doubt that he'd fallen hard for the man with the biggest and prettiest smile he's ever seen.

Sunghoon woke up the next morning to the sound of Heeseung's voice and two other voices that didn't register in his foggy brain currently and the distant sound of the TV playing in the background, groaning at the stiffness of his neck, which is his fault for sleeping on the couch last night.
"Well good morning sunshine." James' voice rang in Sunghoon's ear before he opened his eyes and saw him standing above his head "Don't talk to me, you son of a-" Sunghoon said sleepily before he was rudely interrupted "I know you don't wanna see my face right now but guess what? You're on national TV for being missing." James said and jumped when Sunghoon quickly sat up, ignoring the wave of dizziness before looking at the TV.
Yup, his face was plastered on the screen with the dramatic headline "Prince Park Sunghoon, kidnapped or escaped royal duties?" Sunghoon scoffed at how news channels exaggerate headlines "Escaped royal duties? Imagine if I escaped to live in the outskirts of the country."
"You dad has been calling James since last night, asking about your whereabouts." Niki said as he came and sat beside Sunghoon, handing him a mug of liquid death, black coffee.
"Who's James? I don't know a James." Sunghoon said casually as he drank his coffee, feeling more alive. "Here we go again with your dramatic ass...I'm sorry, okay?! I panicked and ran to Niki first because he's slow and wouldn't have noticed the cops were there until they were right in front of him." James started "And that allows you to leave me in a place I don't know shit about?! I almost got caught last night if I didn't run, you could have dragged me with you!" Sunghoon looked up at James, feeling last night's fear creep up to him again.
"First Niki, then my mom, Heeseung, and now you...believe me when I say I've heard enough of that last night...well at least you're safe?" James tried to make the situation easier but failed when he dodged Sunghoon's leg almost making contact with his family jewels between his legs. "Hey! Not the jewels!" "You're lucky I'm not castrating you." Sunghoon said before standing up from the couch and walking towards the kitchen where Heeseung was still on the phone with somebody.
"Am I forgiven then?!" James shouted after Sunghoon, and recieving the middle finger as confirmation that he was forgiven apparently.
"Who's got you so plastered to your phone so early in the morning? One of your side bitches that I'm not aware of?" Sunghoon teased Heeseung, who finally shut off his phone and looked at the prince.
"Why would I need those when I have you, baby?" Heeseung's arm curled around Sunghoon's waist and brought him closer, the younger's hands resting on his shoulders. "Are you calling me a bitch, Lee Heeseung?" Sunghoon narrowed his eyes at Heeseung who rolled his eyes playfully at him. "You're a handful, do you know that?" Sunghoon shrugged "If you want your life to be more interesting, I've got to be a handful then, otherwise you'd be bored all day." Heeseung grinned before both his hands snaked towards Sunghoon's rear and groped him fully, with zero shame "Luckily I like my hands being full of you then." Sunghoon all but gasped at the sensation "In front of James and Niki? Are you insane?" Heeseung pecked Sunghoon's cheek in response "I couldn't give two fucks about those two idiots."
"Oh God, they're gonna fuck." Niki groaned and covered his eyes "If they fuck today, I'll bottom next time." James said to Niki, placing a bet.
Sunghoon and Heeseung broke their necks from how fast they looked at the two younger ones, "Next time? When did you two hook up?" Sunghoon started, clearly interested. "Last night." James shrugged. "So I wasn't hallucinating when I saw some scratch marks on James' back...I did not think you were a bottom for a single second." Heeseung looked at Niki with an amused glance, loving how red his best friend got.
"I didn't either until he started begging-" "The fuck?! I didn't beg-" "You literally handed me the lube and whined because you were so needy, baobei." James said without an ounce of shame in him, the petname solidified everything for Sunghoon and Heeseung when Niki groaned heavily and sank back into the couch, losing all his dignity.
"I see you two made it official...took what, like...2 years of James pinning on Niki." Heeseung said. "I'm betting my crown that James confessed right in the middle of it." Sunghoon said, feeling satisfied when James was quiet, confirming his suspicion. "I won the bet, you owe me." Heeseung raised an amused eyebrow at the prince "I wasn't aware we placed a bet, snowflake." "We didn't until the last 2 minutes, so I win either way." Oh Heeseung will definitely have fun with this one for sure.
James and Niki left after a while, leaving Heeseung and Sunghoon alone in the open kitchen, the air was awfully domestic. The morning sun shining in the room giving the pair a morning glow, the smell of coffee lingering in the air, the sound of the TV fading into the background...it was cozy and quiet, so welcoming.
"I've been thinking." Heeseung started, pressing Sunghoon gently against the kitchen counter with his hands gently holding Sunghoon by his waist.
"Dangerous thing for you." Sunghoon teased, his fingers playing with Heeseung's earring pierced on his helix.
"Baby, please, humor me for a second." Heeseung giggled at Sunghoon's words, leaning down and pressing a gentle kiss on his collarbone.
"Well stop stalling then and tell me." Sunghoon tilted his head to the side slightly, giving Heeseung more access to his neck and collarbone.
"I was thinking of bringing you back to the palace...and try to convince your dad that I want you." Heeseung's hands made it under Sunghoon's shirt, caressing the bare skin of Sunghoon's waist.
Sunghoon tensed and looked at Heeseung like he grew three more heads "Heeseung...are you insane? Are you trying to get thrown into jail? Or killed?" Heeseung found it funny at how worried Sunghoon looked "I mean...I already put my life on the line by street racing right? This should be a piece of cake, trying to convince the king that I want his one and only son."
"You're fucking crazy...how the fuck are you real? We're talking about the king, my father, the man who doesn't approve of me dating men...did you even listen to anything I told you last night?" Sunghoon was genuinely losing his mind from how casual Heeseung was talking about this.
"Crazy things you do for love." Heeseung said in a gentle tone as he looked at Sunghoon with so much love in his eyes, and Sunghoon swore he died and came back to life right then and there.
Sunghoon went quiet, hearing his own heartbeat in his eardrums, as he took in Heeseung's words "Crazy things you do for love." Fuck. Was Heeseung aware how much those words made Sunghoon spiral? Or how much Sunghoon loved him back?
"Sunghoon? Baby, say something." Heeseung may have started panicking a little at Sunghoon's silence, he was waiting for a witty reply or maybe a confession back but silence? That was unheard of when Sunghoon was around him.
Before Heeseung could say anything else, Sunghoon pulled Heeseung into a searing kiss, his hands gripping the older's tank top and pressing their bodies closer together. Heeseung welcomed the kiss and tiltled his head a little to kiss Sunghoon deeper.
Sunghoon wrapped his arms around Heeseung's neck and jumped, wrapping his legs around the older's waist, while maintaining the pace of their kiss and moaned when Heeseung gripped his thighs to hold him steady before easing his tongue inside the prince's mouth.
Heeseung pulled away from Sunghoon's lips and didn't waste time before he started kissing at his pale neck, decorating the pale skin with red blotched, like Sunghoon was a canvas...and Sunghoon let him, breathing shakily at every mark that Heeseung left on his neck, tilting his head back to give him more access to mark him however he wanted, his head was filled with nothing except for Heeseung.
"Heeseung wait-ah!" Sunghoon barely managed to talk, his brain wasn't really cooperating with him, much less his body.
To his displeasure, Heeseung stopped reluctantly and looked at Sunghoon and it was a miracle that he didn't cum then and there from how fucked Sunghoon looked despite not even touching him properly. Lips were swollen, his hair was a mess, his breathing labored, his eyes were glassy, and the icing on the cake was Heeseung's love bites left on his neck leaving Sunghoon to look like a dream.
"Are you uncomfortable? You want me to stop?" Heeseung said gently, his main priority was for Sunghoon to feel safe and comfortable around him. And Sunghoon, being the smitten man he is, felt his heart stutter at how Heeseung was attentive to his comfort. "I'm fine...you didn't ask me yet though." Heeseung looked a tad bit confused at Sunghoon's words. "Ask you what?"
Sunghoon rolled his eyes playfully and shook his head "I'll give your pea brain a second to catch up on what I mean then."
"Did you really stop me from whatever we were doing so you can call me dumb, Snowflake?" Heeseung huffed in amusement at Sunghoon's words.
"You're proving my point flawlessly right now by the way, are you that slow?" Sunghoon pursed his lips to avoid laughing at Heeseung's confused look.
"Can you tell me so I can save a ittle bit of my remaining dignity at least?" Heeseung groaned, hiding his face in Sunghoon's neck and placing a tiny kiss under his jaw.
"You didn't ask me to be yours yet." Sunghoon said, and giggled at how fast Heeseung lifted his head up to look at him with genuine happiness and having literal hearts form in his eyes from just those words.
"Fuck...you're so adorable, you are a serious hazard to my health...hold on let me be very cheesy about this..." Sunghoon smiled gently at how Heeseung was whirring his brain to ask him out in the nost romantic way he knew.
It seemed Heeseung finally figured it out before his eyes softened as he looked at Sunghoon like he fucking hung the moon. Placing Sunghoon back on his feet, Heeseung got on one knee and took Sunghoon's hand in his and looked up with the most loving gaze that Sunghoon has ever seen.
"Prince Sunghoon...I don't have much to offer you, no titles, no kingdoms, and not enough riches obviously...but I have a heart that beats entirely for you...To the world you are Prince Sunghoon, to me you are the person I want to love forever. In every fairytale there is always a ruler, but you've become my entire world in such a short amount of time, and you know that I don't do royalty and I don't know rules. I've always lived life on two hundred miles per hour and was never afraid of crashing or even death, but the thought of losing you scares the absolute hell out of me and I'll do anything it takes to have you...I didn't know love until how fast and hard I fell for you the moment my eyes met yours...Be mine, Sunghoon?"
Every word that Heeseung said crashed into Sunghoon's heart at full force and he was an absolute mess by the end of Heeseung's speech, tears were rapidly falling from his eyes and onto the floor and he let it happen because he was so happy and in love with the man who lives the complete opposite life than his, a world full of danger and close calls meets a life full of protocol and sophistication.
"You just had to be extra didn't you?" Sunghoon gave a watery chuckle as he sniffled.
"Not really, I just spoke from the heart, I meant every single word, Sunghoon." Heeseung breathed out, his eyes remained locked on Sunghoon's water ones.
Sunghoon kneeled down until he was at Heeseung's level, and took both his hands this time, intertwining their fingers "Then let me speak from the heart as well, Lee Heeseung..." Sunghoon took a deep breathe before he emptied out his heart to Heeseung.
"You’re completely insane, you know that? You're a street racer with grease on your clothes, zero respect for authority, and a habit of breaking every single law in the city. By every royal standard, you are a complete disaster for my future." Heeseung just gave Sunghoon an unapologetic smile.
"You think you fell fast? I knew exactly who you were before we even met. Do you have any idea how many hours I spent listening to James go on and on about you for months on end? Every single week, he would rave about this fearless, legendary street racer named Lee Heeseung who ruled the streets of Seoul. James talked about you so much that I envisioned how you actually looked in my head. By the time I finally saw you in person, I was already done for. I was completely, hopelessly ruined by you since the absolute first second you looked at me when you got out of your hellcat. I have spent those few months in the crowd of people, just watching you win every single race from afar. You showed me a life outside of royal protocol, I fell in love with your world through your eyes, Heeseung...I fell in love with you in your world, not in my world...my life is all protocols and ettiquette, yours is freedom and danger...I don't need any riches or titles from you when you're the most priceless thing in my world, I want to be yours...I've always been yours...I love you, Lee Heeseung."
Heeseung didn't even know he was crying until he felt Sunghoon's thumb wiping away the stray tear falling down his cheek, the words knocked the oxygen clean right out of Heeseung's lungs "I'm never letting you go, Sunghoon...nothing and nobody will stop me from having you." Heeseung grabbed Sunghoon's hand and kissed the inside of his wrist lovingly.
"Hey, you didn't say it back, thats not fair!" Sunghoon gave a frown, looked more like a pout, with Heeseung just giving him the most smitten look ever "I love you more, Sunghoon."
"No, I love you more."
"Then I love you most."
"I love you mostest."
"Baby, really? Are we starting our relationship with who loves who more?" Heeseung chuckled and brought Sunghoon in his lap with practiced ease, finally making himself comfortable on the wooden floor, and welcoming the soft touch of Sunghoon's hand in his hair.
"You're no fun...fine, we love each other equally." Sunghoon huffed, trying to appear annoyed but he'd be lying to himself with that smile plastered on his face.
"Good...I still love you more though." Heeseung said before kissing Sunghoon, interrupting whatever the younger would say.
Of course he wanted to have the last word.

Sunghoon didn't bother to even charge his phone to let his father know he was even alive, his phone was dead since last night but he couldn't care less when he saw the 64 missed calls and almost 100 messages that blew up on his phone up until the very early morning when he was awake, now his father cared about him.
Instead, the new couple spent their morning in Heeseung's bed, loving and learning each other's body under the tangled sheets, and Heeseung made sure to take care of Sunghoon so well that he would be ruined by anybody else. The prince didn't know his first time would made him see the galaxy so many times he almost passed out, with regards to the dull ache in his back and the love bites stained on his neck and collarbone like a blank canvas, and the grip marks on his hips being a testament on how rough Heeseung was with him, not that he complained.
Sunghoon was nestled in Heeseung's side with his head resting on his chest as he listened to the soothing melody of Heeseung's heartbeat, what more can he want then post-sex cuddles with the man he loves most in this world?
"Feel okay, snowflake?" Sunghoon lifted his head slightly upwards at the sound of Heeseung's soft voice "I'm fine, it hurts a little when I move but its common after the first time."
"Maybe I should've been more gentle, I don't like seeing you hurt." Heeseung's fingers carded through Sunghoon's hair before kissing the top of his head lovingly, and relished in the feeling of being skin on skin with the prince, it was indescribable feeling, but it was so peaceful.
"Heeseung, we had sex, you didn't sumo wrestle me, I'll be fine I'm just sore a little." Sunghoon snorted at his lover, appreciating the concern but he didn't like being babied.
"You need to stop calling me Heeseung, I feel like I committed a crime eveytime you say my name." Sunghoon raised a brow at Heeseung's small pout, finding his whining cute.
"But its your name?" Sunghoon teased him, before barely managing to turn and lay on his stomach, his upper body propped by his elbows and of course ignoring the sudden sharp pain in his back.
"Thats news to me" Sunghoon chuckled at Heeseung's dry tone "Seriously though, I call you baby or snowflake, I deserve a pet name too." Heeseung whined.
"Fine...Spanner seems to suit you though." Sunghoon said before giggling at Heeseung's offended look "Are you trying to be funny? Did you seriously think that a mechanic tool would suit me? You're evil, baby." Heeseung chuckled and tackled Sunghoon on his back, and hovered above the still laughing prince and caging him against his body and the mattress.
"Your face, I wish I took a picture, you looked like a kicked puppy." Sunghoon's giggles turned into a full on laugh, and Heeseung felt his heart burst at how gorgeous Sunghoon looked laughing underneath him.
"Maybe I should call you Sunghoon then since you're so adament on calling me by my name." Heeseung grinned at Sunghoon who's laughter stopped at his words before narrowing his eyes at the elder "That's not fair, you've been calling me that since we met, don't start with Sunghoon now." Now it was Sunghoon's turn to whine.
They are men in their Mid-twenties by the way, just to make it clear.
"Fair is fair, Sunghoon." Heeseung laughed before groaning at Sunghoon pinching his nipple hard "I was gonna call you Seungie, but since you wanna play that game then I'll stick to Heeseung."
Heeseung felt his brain short circuit at the pet name "Wait, pause, what did you call me?" Sunghoon glared at Heeseung playfully and blushed before looking away from his boyfriend "Heeseung."
"Baby, please, do I have to beg?" Heeseung groaned and intertwined both their hands above Sunghoon's head, to which Sunghoon sighed at his lover's whining "Seungie..." To say Sunghoon yelped when Heseung suddenly sat up and pulled him up to his lap, and wincing at the sharp pain that ached in his back, before steadying himself by placing his hands on Heeseung's shoulders.
"Are you insane?! I'm still in pain if you've forgotten, Seungie." Despite all his nagging, he made himself comfortable in Heeseung's lap.
"Call me that for the rest of our lives please? Fuck-I'm so in love with you, snowflake." Sunghoon blushed at how smitten Heeseung was with him, a little intimiated by how the older was looking at him with so much love in his eyes.
"Its just a pet name-" "Just?! Baby, you're basically proposing to me and I will marry you, yes." Sunghoon laughed at Heeseung's words, he loved this man with all his being.
"I have a feeling if we're talking about proposals, either you'll do it first or we'll do it at the same time coincidentally." Was Sunghoon trying to kill Heeseung with his words?
"You want a future with me? The marriage? The kids? And all that fiasco?" Heeseung said quietly, a sliver of doubt creeping in his mind that maybe Sunghoon won't want him in the future. "Not like anyone else can handle my personality besides you...yes, Heeseung...I want the world with you." Sunghoon's pointer finger traced Heeseung's jaw lovingly.
"And I'll give you the world...anything you want, its yours." Heeseung promise as he took Sunghoon's hand and placed a gentle kiss in his palm.
Sunghoon was deep in thoughts as he looked at Heeseung, he knew Heeseung was the one for him, he really couldn't imagine a life without him now...his mom would've love him. Removing his hand from Heeseung's, he unlocked the delicate silver chain around his neck, the last reminder he has of his mother, before locking it around Heeseung's neck and admiring his world in front of him.
"This is the last thing I have of my mom...Its yours now, Seungie." Heeseung's eyes softened at the melancholic tone of Sunghoon's voice "You don't have to give it to me, baby its rightfully yours-" Sunghoon smiled sadly and placed his finger on Heeseung's lips, shutting him up easily "I insist...she would've loved you I know it."
"She was your world...and she's mine too now...because she gave me the universe, and that's you, Sunghoon." Heeseung brought Sunghoon into a gentle kiss that conveyed all the love for the man in his lap.
Sunghoon kissed back with zero resistance and wrapped his arms around Heeseung's neck, feeling his heart burst from how much love he felt for Heeseung, he hummed as the elder gently probed his tongue in between his lips and deepened their kiss with practiced ease, and Sunghoon would love to keep Heeseung forever but he was not about to start what he couldn't finish without risking himself to be bound to a wheelchair for a week.
"I love you..." Sunghoon breathed on Heeseung's lips once he pulled away from the kiss, his hands gentle cupping Heeseung's face "I love you too, baby." Heeseung pressed their forehead together, taking in the love bubble they were in, basking in the early morning light with just them.
They were going to be okay...

8 months later...
Things have changed quite a bit since then, for the better of course.
The king surprisingly, although reluctantly, accepted Heeseung as Sunghoon's boyfriend, only after Sunghoon threatened to exit the monarchy line because this is the only thing he's ever asked for, and Heeseung would be crowned prince consort once Sunghoon becomes king. Heeseung got along okay with the king despite everything, Sunghoon had to pick up his jaw from the floor when he saw his father and his boyfriend talk about cars like it was a casual Tuesday. Also Heeseung permanently moved in with Sunghoon in the palace...the second floor obviously-BUT they also had a secret apartment in Seoul just in case they wanted a small getaway for a day or two from the palace.
Heeseung and Sunghoon's love bloomed steadily as they got to know each other more through all 5 love languages;
They both loved physical touch and had any excuse to hold hands, kiss, or even just feel each nearby...and make love obviously.
When Heeseung discovered that Sunghoon loved flowers, he made it his forever job to give Sunghoon a small bouquet of three red roses every 10 days for the rest of their lives. Sunghoon on the other hand visited Heeseung everyday at the garage and personally delivered his favorite drink, Galbae which is Korean pear juice with milk tea, and some food obviously, their acts of service went a long way.
Because of Sunghoon's duties as a future king, they weren't really keen on being on a date during daytime and prefered their night outings, which consisted mostly of Heeseung learning how to skate on ice with Sunghoon, and he was so fucking good at it that Sunghoon was pouty when he couldn't hold hands with Heeseung after their first time on ice, that was their quality time.
Gifts were never much of importance to either of them but they did go all out most of the time, the most memorable ones being; Sunghoon buying matching Cartier Juste un Clou rings for both him and Heeseung to wear on a daily basis. And Heeseung tattooing Sunghoon's initials behind his ear, the letters "PSH'' being tattooed with Sunghoon's penmanship specifically and of course Sunghoon did cry when he first saw it but he wouldn't admit he did even if Heeseung reminded him of it constantly.
Words of Affirmation were something they both exceled in, they just knew what the other needed to hear in that moment without even uttering a single word. When Sunghoon was overwhelmed with royal duties, Heeseung would take him into his arms and whisper how proud he was of him and that he would be a great king one day. When Heeseung was feeling like he wasn't doing enough for Sunghoon and feeling insecure, Sunghoon would lovingly reassure that he wouldn't want anyone else to love him if it wasn't Heeseung.
Heeseung and Niki actually opened up their garage in Gangnam district, all thanks to Sunghoon's help in financing it with no problem and James getting all the documentations approved, so their dream was basically fulfilled all thanks to their lovers, and the two racers actually retired from street racing.
Heeseung's parents tried contacting him once his and Sunghoon's relationship were announced to the public, and Heeseung welcomed them back with open arms and they all lived happily ever after...NOT...Heeseung ignored their asses so quick and kicked them to the curb, they just wanted to reconcile because Sunghoon was a prince and they wanted to brag about their strong connections to the royal family, pffft as if.
Sunghoon and Niki were actual menaces to their boyfriends, the bottoms ganging up on the tops, Heeseung swore he would have grey hair before 30 because of Sunghoon's antics, but Heeseung wasn't innocent either, he loved messing with Sunghoon in the most harmless way possible...well if you count dodging death multiple times a day.
Observe Exhibit 1, demonstrated by Lee Heeseung;
It was a very peaceful day in the garage, Heeseung was tuning the engine of the clients' cars while Sunghoon was assisting him in any way he could, by assisting he means sitting on the roof of the car that Heeseung was working on and drooling over his boyfriend sweating like a waterfall and covered in engine grease...oh and handing him the tools that Heeseung asked for.
"Hand me the 10 x 12 nut wrench, bro." Heeseung said without looking up from the engine.
"If you value your life I suggest you try again with the name." Sunghoon looked offended as he looked down at his boyfriend with a sharp glare, but still handing him the wrench.
"Whatever you say, dude." Heeseung had a death wish for sure, even Sunghoon was sure of that.
Sunghoon grabbed the pry bar and tried aiming at Heeseung "Yah! Baby are you insane?! I was just joking!" Heeseung yelped and jumped back before he got murdered by his boyfriend in the most devestating way possible.
"Its baby or snowflake to you...calling me dude and bro as if I'm one of your homeboys when I'm your fucking boyfriend is a ballsy move...don't do it again." Sunghoon scoffed and put the pry bar away, giving Heeseung another chance to live.
Heeseung really didn't know if he should be turned on or scared, but he's in love with the insane prince can you blame him really?
Exhibit 2, observed by Prince Park Sunghoon;
Sughoon was absolutely bored as hell, sittiing down in his office as he listened to a few court ministers who were going on and on about tarrifs on raw materials and whatnot. Sighing, he got his phone out and decided today he wants to be a menace to his poor boyfriend, bless Niki for giving him the idea of pretending Heeseung is in trouble.
(Texts Incoming between Heeseung (left) and Sunghoon (Right) )
Lee Heeseung.
Full Governemnt Name...Fuck my pathetic life
What did I do this time????
When were you going to tell me about the dull blades of my skates?
Uh
OKAY FINE
It was Niki I swear, he wanted try on your skates and walked more on the mat rather than the ice.
It wasn't me I promise babyyyyy
Sunghoon couldn't help but smile like an absolute idiot, he can hear Heeseung's desperate voice behind those texts.
Well...its fine because its Niki
WHAT?! JUST CAUSE ITS NIKI?!
What if I did it then, would you forgive me? :)
I'll pluck your balls like grapes, don't test me Heeseung.
Fuck, you're so insanely hot when you talk dirty to me.
You're obsessed.
Fuck yeah I am, have you seen yourself? I worship the ground you walk on, baby.
Uh huh sure...don't be late to dinner tonight, I asked the chef to make your favorite.
Whatever you say, your highness
I love you baby
Yeah sure
I SAID I LOVE YOU!?
I understood the first time, Seungie, no need to repeat.
So you hate me and want me to kill myself, alright that's cool, I'll schedule it for after 5 PM how about that?
God you're so dramatic
I love you too
And buy lube on the way, we ran out.
It seems I'm not killing myself after all, appointment cancelled.
What a lucky man I am
Leave it to them make anything dramatic, but if it keeps the relationship alive then let it be.
ALRIGHT-
Now time for the juicy parts, their sex life, because that is all what is interesting these days. KINKY COUPLE!
Heeseung was definitely the top in the relationship, Sunghoon was too much of a pillow prince to do anything but take whatever pleasure Heeseung could give him really. They will try anything except anything that is harmful and associated with bodily fluids, they've tried every position there is in the book of positions and they settled on basic ass missionary because Heeseung likes to watch Sunghoon fall apart on his cock.
Sunghoon did not know how much of a masochist until Heeseung started pulling his hair, choking him, and holding his waist in a death grip while fucking him within an inch of his life. He loved when Heeseung praised/degraded him in bed, one moment he'd be treated like the most precious gem in the world while being called "perfect" in the most soft voice that Heeseung whispers in his ear and the next could be him being dicked down into the mattress while being called the most degrading things known to man. Speaking of masochism, they love leaving marks, Sunghoon looked like his neck was mauled by a tiger, good thing concealer exists in the shade of his pale ass skin, and Heeseung's back looked like he had a fight with a lion.
They never really used condoms except for the first time, Sunghoon made Heeseung get tested before they decided to go raw and they never went back. Sunghoon was loud in bed, you won't catch him even trying to hide his noises and thank God for his bedroom walls being soundproof in the palace or else he would have had a lot of explaining to do. OH-and they'll fuck anywhere given the opportunity, poor James screamed when he almost caught them in the act once in the garage.
But the aftercare is what they both looked forward to after, sure sex is great but the post-sex glow was a whole other feeling, tending to each other in the shower and then cuddling under the sheets while basking in the afterglow of being the most vulnerable with each other. They'd talk about anything and everything until the early lights of dawn started peeking out and they would be asleep in each other's arms like nothing else in the world mattered besides them.

A random Thursday...
Tonight, Heeseung and Sunghoon were going to Bugak Skyway in Seoul to oversee a race, James practically begged Heeseung to come back for one night just to observe one the newest rookies who he swore was the next Lee Heeseung.
Sunghoon was pissed off to say the least, they had a date at Namsan Mountain and he wasn't told until an hour prior before their date because Heeseung apparently forgot. So of coruse, they fought for a good twenty minutes before they left the palace with steam coming out of their ears. The whole ride to Bugak was tense and quiet, not one of them was willing to speak until Heeseung broke the silence once they reached the bustling crowd in the hidden venue.
"Don't cause a scene here at least, we'll talk when we get back to the palace." Sunghoon just scoffed at Heeseung's words before unbuckling his seatbelt "You'll be lucky if I even let you inside the palace for the stunt you pulled." Heeseung rolled his eyes at his boyfriend before getting out of his car and being crowded immediately by some of old racemates.
Despite not wanting to be surrounded by a crowd, Sunghoon stood beside Heeseung in support of his boyfriend, he's not that mean..at least he thinks he isn't.
"Yo! You actually made it, I didn't think you'd come." James said as he approached the couple, Niki tagging along behind him.
"We weren't supposed to." Sunghoon said indifferently, and Heeseung rightfully scoffed "Stop being a brat, Sunghoon, its just one night." Sunghoon glared at Heeseung icily.
"Don't tell me you two fought about this? Sunghoon, come on its just tonight then you can have all his attention the rest of the week." Niki, bless him for trying to be a good friend, tried making the situation better but cowered behind James' back at the glare Sunghoon sent his way.
"Hoon...come on, I promise I won't call him up again about this again, just give him tonight, he's only observing...I won't let him get behind the wheel." James said to Sunghoon with a sigh, trying to get through his best friend's stubborn head.
Heeseung retired a short while after him and Sunghoon got together officially, due to him being tied to the royal family now but also because of an engine malfunction the last time Heeseung raced against an opponent and his tires actually popped right in the middle of the race causing his near crash, and Sunghoon made him swear he won't sit behind the wheel anymore...he won't lose Heeseung to a street race.
"...Fine...just tonight." Sunghoon reluctantly sighed, this was once Heeseung's solace after all, before turning to face Heeseung "Don't do anything rash, okay?" Heeseung's eyes softened and nodded "I know...I love you..." Sunghoon huffed out a response "Love you too I guess...this doesn't mean you're forgiven."
Heeseung watched as Sunghoon left to stand in the crowd in the front with Niki before turning his attention to James. "So who's the rookie?"
"Oh you'll love him, his name is Sim Jaeyun but he calls himself Jake, he's like extremely fast." James pulled Heeseung towards the small crowd gathered around a yellow Chevy Camaro "Yo Jake, meet Heeseung, and Heeseung meet Jake." Heeseung gave a small nod in greeting before extending his hand for a handshake "I don't really like rookies as much but I've heard quite a bit from James so I had to come see for myself who you are."
"Flattery will get you anywhere, Heeseung...nice to see a street legend interested in me." Jake gave Heeseung a small cocky smile and took his hand in a firm grip. There it was, the arrogance and cockiness that Heeseung absolutely despises "Not you, your ride more specifically. Chevy Camaro, a classic...2015?"
"2017 actually."
"LS7 V8?"
"LT4 V8, tweaked it out myself."
"600 horsepower?"
"650 on the dot."
"How many miles?"
"Sitting on 125 mph at 11.5 seconds."
Fuck-this kid was good, Heeseung had to give it to him, he's got the all American beast as a car with a killer engine.
"I respect the game...but none of this is going to get you anywhere if you don't race and win...got an opponent ready?" Heeseung crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Jake with an indifferent expression.
"Yeah, you obviously." Jake's words brought a reaction out of the crowd as they cheered, oh they definitely wanted to see Heeseung race again "Love the enthusiasm but no, I don't race anymore." Jake scoffed at Heeseung's words "You don't race because you didn't want to anymore or because your princess told you not to?'' Jake's words burned something inside Heeseung though he did keep his indifference but his tone did turn icy "There's no need to drag the prince into this just to make yourself look more of a dumbass then you already are by trying to get me upset, I did it out of personal choices, Sunghoon just chose to support my decision." Jake was fuming at Heeseung humiliating him.
James snorted before turning away, his shoulders visibly shaking from laughing. Niki pursed his lips to not laugh and Sunghoon tried his best to not smile but his lips were twitching at how Heeseung put Jake in his place, damn he was so in love.
"What a waste of time, baby we're leaving." Heeseung said as he got into his hellcat and turning the engine on, Sunghoon bid James and Niki goodbye and got in the passenger seat before Heeseung drove away from the venue and back in the bustling streets of Seoul.
Sunghoon could tell Heeseung was upset on the inside from Jake disrespecting him, silenty he placed his hand on Heeseung's that was resting in the gearstick and intertwined their fingers, Heeseung flicnhed at the sudden touch for a second before his body relaxed and brought Sunghoon's hand up to his lips and kissed his knuckles lovingly.
"Pull over." Sunghoon said quietly, and Heeseung did, he pulled over in a hidden alleyway that he knew no one would come here, and killed the engine of he car before they sat in silence.
The air in the car was suffocating, filled with unresolved tension from their arguement before they left the palace and of course when Jake disrespected Sunghoon in Heeseung's face was added fuel to the fire that was raging inside Heeseung's head.
"Are we gonna sit in silence the whole night or are we going to talk about it?' Heeseung broke the silence with his quiet but slightly clipped tone, running his fingers through his hair to calm the inner turmoil haunting his soul right now.
"I don't want to talk about it, Heeseung." Sunghoon sighed and leaned back in his seat, before he turned his neck to look at his boyfriend "Baby, we can't just not talk about this and act like nothing happened-" Heeseung scoffed, feeling something snap in him when Sunghoon said those words.
"Heeseung, I don't want to talk about it." Sunghoon interrupted Heeseung, emphasizing heavily on the word talk as if wanting Heeseung to catch the double meaning behind his heavy emphasis, and before the older could come up with any snippy remark it seemed the word clicked in his head quickly before he turned his attention to Sunghoon. In this situation, talking wouldn't do the trick, they were both tense and their fight could blow out of proportion even further...they had to be relaxed.
"...Get in the backseat then." Those were the only words Sunghoon needed before going to the backseat and quickly pulling Heeseung into a kiss, who barely even made it to the backseat to hover above his clearly needy boyfriend, the windows quickly fogging up with their shared heavy breathing.
Clothes were strewn off quicker than they could comprehend, and before any of them knew it, Heeseung had a death grip on Sunghoon's waist as he pistoned his cock in and out of the gorgeous prince underneath him.
Sunghoon all but screamed when Heeseung fucked him fast and rough, oh he was definitely going to be sore tomorrow given that his body was folded in half with his legs resting on Heeseung's shoulders, but who was he to complained when he was getting dicked down by his hot boyfriend?
Heeseung groaned at the tight heat enveloping him and wrapped his fingers around Sunghoon's throat, not to hurt him but to cut off his air supply, and Sunghoon felt like he was floating on air from the pleasure and how Heeseung controlled his breathing.
"So pretty when you're being fucked dumb on my cock, baby...you're so perfect...Like you're-Fuck-made for me." Heeseung relished in seeing Sunghoon fall apart so beautifully underneath him, from the messy hair, the swollen lips, hazy eyes, and the moaning.
"I'm yours, Heeseung-ah! I'm close-" Sunghoon screamed when Heeseung curled his arm around Sunghoon's waist and lifted him up a little to hit at deeper angles, giving him a better arch to his back and drilled into his prostate with slower but very deeper thrusts, and Sunghoon saw white as he moaned loudly and felt himself cum untouched violently, like his soul was being taken from is body.
Heeseung's hips stilled as he came with a loud groan on Sunghoon's name on his lips, riding out both of their releases with slow rolls of his hips and filling Sunghoon up to the brim. And Sunghoon trembled from the overstimulation but he loved the pain laced with the pleasure.
After coming down from their highs, Heeseung broke their silence first "So we're not upset anymore are we?" Sunghoon lifted his head up slightly and glare "next time you cancel our date I'll tie you up and make you sleep on the floor."
"Might as well ride me to oblivion while you're at it." Heeseung winked at Sunghoon before gently bringing down the younger's trembling legs from his shoulders and resting them on any remaining space of the backseat.
"That sounds more like a dream for you than an actual punishment." Sunghoon rolled his eyes at Heeseung, pretending to be annoyed but his twitching lips gave it away that he was in fact not annoyed.
"Anything that involves you is a dream, after all I did say you're my fantasy that came to life." Heeseung leaned down and brought Sunghoon in a gentle kiss, his heart fluttering at Sunghoon's hands resting on the back of his head and kissing hin back at the same pace.
Heeseung groaned in the kiss when Sunghoon wrapped his legs around his waist and started rolling his hips a little, obviously his goal was to make Heeseung hard again. "Fuck baby, you're so needy, you're a literal sex addict." Heeseung breathed on Sunghoon's lips, with a breathy laugh leaving his lips.
"Your point?"
"We were literally at it this morning too, for 3 rounds..."
"Again, your point being?"
Heeseung just looked at Sunghoon before shaking his head with an amused chuckle leaving his lips "I love you so fucking much."
"I love you too but less talking and more action, I need you to actually use your dick that's in me and not just let it sit there-ah!" Sunghoon said before moaning at Heeseung giving him a sharp thrust. Let round two begin.
They'll be fine...although Heeseung will have to carry Sunghoon everywhere for the next week...yeah they'll be okay.
-THE END-
