The Possessed Throne

Im Hajun

Male • 21 • College Student

• The longer that Hajun stood in the fancy room that Chan-Seong lived in the morehis mind decided to go flying down a darker path before he could stop it. He was so used to being the confident one among his friends, though Vivian came as a close second, that he was trying not to become even more panicked by his lack of confidence. Call it selfish or being the child of rich family who is a brat, but his confidence it what got him through life. It was the fact that knew he looked good enough to model that he was able to make money for college. His life ran smoothly because he had a healthy amount of self-esteem, though at times it slipped into arrogance, but that wasn't enough topic of discussion at the moment. The topic that needed to addressed was that Hajun was completely unprepared for what the Moon Goddess had decided that he needed to be involved in. The topic of the Moon Goddess was another discussion for later. Whatever confidence he had built up over his life was gone now. He knew the basics of what this world had to offer, because you he read the series, but this was so much more complicated than anything his mind could have thought of. 'Stop thinking about.' He tried to tell himself, seeing as though it usually worked when he was panicking. Of course when he needed it to work it wasn't, so he would need to focus on something else.

That something just happened to be a someone who was called Chan-Seong. The way the outer edges of his crinkled in the most adorable manner, with the biting of his lip helped distract him from the cold that sunk into his skin. 'He should not be aloud to be this attractive.' Hajun was glad to have this kind of thought, than to going through an mental crisis. He had never really thought that one day he would find the shy prince type that was Chan-Seong would be the one to make him feel soft inside. He had always kind of envisioned that he would end up liking a guy that was more like him, but a fictional crush would fade right. He kind of hoped it would, because if he really was supposed to be helping Chan-Seong save his world some how, if he was even capable of that, then he couldn't exactly be distracted by the beauty that was this man. He had missed the way he gently smiled at him, partly because his mind was trying to bring him back to reality. When Chan-Seong opened up a dresser behind him, Hajun found himself being snapped back to attention. His eyes softly widened at the beautiful array of fine jewelry that was neatly placed inside the drawer. 'Holy hell, I'm mean what should I expect, but wow.' A part of him still thought that maybe this was still some extremely detailed dreaming he was having.

Of course that was not true, and that was once again proven to him when Chan-Seong clipped back his long blonde bangs with a moonstone encrusted beret, showing off his stunning silver irises that glowed in the moonlight that filtered into the room through the window. Some might find the way his eyes looked scary or odd, but he could honestly just look into them forever even if his brain struggled to wrap around the fact that's how they looked naturally. Chan-Seong was soon moving around his room again, in another dresser he pulled out a pair of pants and underwear, after that he went to his closet and pulled out baggy shirt. He couldn't help but softly blush when Chan-Seong got one his knees when he placed the clothes in this lap. 'Oh God he is so beautiful up close.' His heart was beating so fast that that he might die because it wouldn't be able to handle how fast it was beating. "Oh, thank you, really wet clothes are exactly comfortable." He couldn't let but inwardly cringe at how that sounded on his tongue but he wasn't sure what else to say in that moment. He could see the other was blushing as well but he didn't get to focus on it long because he was speaking to him once more.

Hajun softly hummed to let Chan-Seong know he had his attention when said his name, but he wasn't really expecting the words that came out of him. Hajun genuinely wanted to know what he had done to make him think that he was a beautiful person. People who were like Vivian were beautiful, but people like him were not pretty. He was bossy and he judged people more often than he would like to admit. Nothing about that was beautiful. He could understand how Vivian could have ended up in the same position he was, but him the rich kid who never had a real worry in his life. He didn't mean to insult any deities, but had to have made a mistakes somewhere when she brought him here. He was about to explain that Chan-Seong, but the words got stuck in his throat when the other slowly reached up to cup his cheek. His hand was warm on his chilled skin. He was never more glad that Chan-Seong decided to change the conversation, he really wasn't ready to tell him that he was postive that he wasn't supposed to be here. He knew he was being selfish by wanting to stay here in the comfort of Chan-Seong's warmth longer, but he would deal with those consequences later.

When Chan-Seong mentioned that Vivian was probably in the home of the child of the Goddess of Nature, he couldn't help but smile to himself. 'Of course she would end up there.' He knew that the child who had been blessed by nature was none other than the princess of Wisteria, Cheon Eun-Yeong. The woman who controlled the forces of nature at her finger tips, and the one who managed to claim the number one spot on Vivian's seemingly never ending list of fictional crushes, or at least the last time he checked that list was super long but not quite endless status. He found himself softly nodding when Chan-Seong said that they could go look for Vivian on another day, but he snapped to attention when he told him that he was going to draw him a bath. Hajun was ready to to gently refuse the offer, but Chan-Seong was quick to shut that down before he could even say it. Claiming that he could afford to relax, and Hajun simply deflated into himself slightly showing that he wasn't going to argue with him. Even if he really wanted to he felt like Chan-Seong knew what was better for him in this moment. Seeing as though the full wait of his situation had really dawned on him yet.

Hajun could feel that he cared from the way that he gave his hand a loving squeeze, but he still couldn't help that feeling of almost guilt and dread that had settled in his chest. Chan-Seong was literally the sweetest person alive, he just wanted to do good and make his kingdom into a better place. "Thank you." those few words held a lot of emotion, mainly how he was conflicted and terrified he was. He still did his best to try and not look an emotional wreck. Chan-Seong didn't he baggage of another human being on top of what he already dealt with in his everyday life of learning to run a kingdom and trying to save the world. Hajun's eyes softly widened when Chan-Seong pressed a kiss to his cheek before rushing off to the bathroom before he could say anymore. Then just like that he was alone again. The room suddenly felt bigger without Chan-Seong there to fill the void with his gentle light. It made Hajun feel small and he cursed at the way it encouraged the thoughts inside of his head.

He could briefly hear the muffled sound of the water faucet being turned on inside the bathroom but his mind had already gone. 'Why am I here?' Was the big question that his mind kept asking, and every time he would tell himself it was because a powerful deity chose him, and every time it lead back to that question. He didn't understad. Why now of all times. Why did it have to be him and Vivian, or was it random chance like some twisted sort of fate lottery that he didn't sign up for. What would happen now that he was hear in this place. Would be ever be able to go home. The cold came back to him with a vengeance. He could feel the way is slowly crawled up his spine with each chill that passed over him. It really help amplify the mood that had settled over him, and he wasn't really sure if he wanted that. He softly jumped when Chan-Seong suddenly called his name, pulling him from whatever void he had been walking down. "Okay, I'm coming give me a second." He was surpised at how smooth his voice sounded despite what was going on in his head.

He gently collected the clothes that Chan-Seong had given him to wear, careful not to get them wet with the sea water that clung to his clothes. When he stepped inside the bathroom he could see that Chan-Seong had a few bags in his hands. He didn't wonder what they were for too long since Chan-Seong soon explained to him that they were herbs he could put in the water and that he was welcome to use them. It really made Hajun wonder what he had done in his past life to allow him to meet this angel. He softly nodded his head after Chan-Seong had finished talking. "You are really nice, but you don't have to do all of that for me really." He kind of smiled even if it of came crashing down on him that this really was going to be like a multiple day thing. That he wasn't going to wake up on the couch of his shared apartment after convincing Vivian to make him boba at some odd hour. He would complain about about stiff neck for a bit before being told by Vivian at he should have slept in his bed. He wondered if anyone would notice if they were gone or if they would be reported missing.

That's when he noticed that he was softly shaking and there was water starting to build up in his eyes. 'Not now, don't you dare cry.' He told himself reaching up to rub his eyes like he had an itch or something in them. "But since I'm you won't let me say 'no' I agree." He refused to have a mental breakdown in front of Chan-Seong. He didn't want to be told that he was blowing everything out proportion and that he was over reacting. "Though being tailored, is that the right word, anyway it will certainly be different." Hajun did what he did best. He pretended that he just has confident has ever and prayed that Chan-Seong wouldn't say anything about. "In the meantime I'll let you know how these fit after I take bath, like you insisted." His soft smile was back while he held the clothes a bit tighter. He hoped that Chan-Seong would leave now so he could cry in peace before going back to pretending he wasn't internally screaming.

Cheon Eun-Yeong

Female • 22 • Princess of Wisteria

• Eun-Yeong had already decided that she was going to make the most of her time with Vivian. Not that she thought something was going to happen to Vivian, or at least she hoped nothing bad happened, but she knew that once the people found out she was here they would want to meet her. She had such a unique personality, but it wasn't bad, in fact it was quite the opposite. Eun-Yeong knew that her personality would get her through the struggles that would come from having to deal with the Lords and ladies of her kingdom. Not many of those who had high positions were ready for a woman to have a lot of power, and Eun-Yeong figured this was a combination of they wanted to keep things traditional, and the fact that when they had a queen with no king in the past it had ended very badly for the kingdom. She couldn't really blame them if they were afraid, her people had a tendency to carry baggage with them for a long time. Her parents problemly the most out how everyone. She suddenly felt nervous about introducing Vivian to her parents.

Eun-Yeong's parents for a while now had been hinting at the fact that they wanted someone who was more of the warrior type and would be able to out on the front lines to help the cause. They already refused to let Eun-Yeong go anywhere near the trouble, deeming her to be too delicate to be around such horrors, and Eun-Yeong really tried to understand her parents thinking when they said that by keeping her away from the plague would keep her safe. Which still annoyed her to no end she was born with the gift of the earth. How was in danger when with a flick of her wrist she could control the plants and she could bring men to their knees just by manipulating any metal on their bodies. It was rather frustrating when you had so much power, but were unable to use it to protect the ones you cared about. 'Now now, don't get worked up.' She told herself with a small smile. 'You can use your powers to protect Vivian.' She knew that eventually someone would find out that Vivian was an important piece to the puzzle and would try and hurt her, but Eun-Yeong wasn't going to let that happen. She was going to use her gifts to protect her.

Eun-Yeong nodded her head when Vivian told her that a nightgown would be lovely, she gave her a thumbs up after. She didn't quite know what that meant exactly but she assumed that it was good because she had no under upset. Eun-Yeong turned to face the wardrobe, she had noticed that Vivian had seemed to interested in the fabrics that made her bed. 'I wonder if works with fabrics.' She thought to herself has she pulled out a flowy lavender colored silk nightgown. She smiled at it before turning to face Vivian once more. She stepped closer to Vivian, placing the nightgown in her lap. She was just about to ask her if she wanted any undergarmets as well, but then Vivian spoke asking about a friend who may have been brought to this world with her. Eun-Yeong softly hummed while that question took a moment to settle in her head, biting her lower lip she took a moment to process that question. If it was in fact true that Vivian's friend had been brought to this world with her, then it was safe to say that he probably was somehow involved with her guiding goddess. Well, he wouldn't be involved with her guiding goddess directly, but Eun-Yeong did have an idea on where he could be right now. Her brow scrunched up slightly as she developed a look of concentration. If her theory was correct then she would really need to get into contact with a certain blonde prince, and this might cause a bit more trouble for them. Not that she didn't want Vivian's friend around, because then she could have someone to talk to when she was home sick, but if human gifts were suddenly appearing all over more attention would be brought to them.

Eun-Yeong noticed that she had probably been silent for a while for now, and with the way she had looked so focused she hoped that she hadn't accidentally causes Vivian to worry. "Sorry about that, I was just thinking about what you had told me." He said before relaxing her face and taking a seat beside Vivian upon her grand bed. "You told me that you were with a friend when my goddess brought you here, right, that leads me to belive that if he was indeed brought here with you then he most likely in Zaeryn." Eun-Yeong explained to Vivian, then she quickly realized that Vivian probably didn't know what that meant. She was worried that she had maybe frightened Vivian by telling her friend that her friend was there, especially since she didn't know any context. "Before you get worried, Zaeryn is home to someone who is like me." She went on to explain to make sure Vivian knee what was going on. "His name is Yi Chan-Seong and he is the prince of the kingdom, he was blessed by the Moon Goddess, who just so happens to be the lover of my goddess, the Goddess of Nature." Eun-Yeong explained with a proud smile at the end. She has always admired her goddess for having the courage to be with the one she loved rather than who she was told to be with.

Eun-Yeong reached to gently take Vivian's hands in her before she continued talking. "I can promise you that your friend will be safe in the home of my friend, he is a kind soul despite the past the comes with his family name." She smiled softly at Vivian, her dark colored eyes connecting with Vivian's stunning blue eyes, they reminded Eun-Yeong of looking at a stormy sky. She didn't need Chan-Seong's ability to sees someone's aura to tell what Vivian was feeling. Her eyes did that for her already. "I have been wanting to get into contact with Chan-Seong, so this is the perfact excuse to do so, and maybe I can arrange some sort of meeting, so you may see your friend again." Eun-Yeong really wanted Vivian to feel comfortable here while for however long she was here. She promised herself that she would make it known to Vivian that she could ask her for anything. "Though I will warn you now it may be a bit difficult, especially with the state that our countries are in right now." She then softly frowned. She didn't want to make Vivian feel like there was no hope, but she also didn't want her to be sheltered like her parents did to her. That was not way to keep her safe, and if she wanted her trust she would have to tell her the truth.

Eun-Yeong let out a soft sigh preparing herself for what she was going to say next, especially since she didn't want to scare Vivian. "I won't explain everything to you know, since it is late and you need to rest, but I will tell you that there a danger lurking outside of my castle's walls." She found herself gently rubbing the back of Vivian's hands with her thumble as she spoke to her. "I promise that I will never let it hurt you, but it to may make things a bit difficult." She wasn't going to dump a history lesson of her entire country onto to Vivian, maybe later when she was all rested up and accustomed to the new place she was in. "For now though, I want you worry about getting rested and what colors you would like for clothes because I'm going to bring a tailor for you tomorrow, unless you would like to make your own clothes." Eun-Yeong then softly blushed after she had offered to let Vivian make her own clothes. "I noticed you really like fabrics." She softly explained looking down to see that she was still holding her hands. She really didn't want to let them go. "Anyway, I can show you the bathroom so you can change into the gown, or take a path if you want." Eun-Yeong smiled at Vivian again her eyes catching the moonlight and turning green for a second.
