He could feel the tension in Mingyu releasing, giving him just enough time to actually catch the man.
He didn’t reply - didn’t feel it was necessary. He wondered if he would have been like this, had he ever loved anyone the way Mingyu had loved his Fox. If anyone had ever loved him as much. To be so terrified to lose anything ever again.
He wasn’t sure he would. He had lost the thing he loved most in the world - his country - but all it had really done was instill a strange sort of calm in him. And whatever Mingyu’s feelings now, if they could find the man Mingyu yearned for above everything, he was fairly certain Mingyu’s world would right itself, and Lee Chang’s vow would matter less and less until it was forgotten.
That was the best he could hope for.
He breathed out, ducking his head a little to rest his face against Mingyu’s hair, closing his eyes.
“You would have been a legend of a kisaeng,” he murmured thoughtfully, quietly.
He wondered if now he understood how his father had risked his crown and his legacy so badly just to have him.
