Work Text:
The bell rang, sign for the last class of the day, Sehun hasten to pick all his things and stuff to the bag. He pushes back his long disheveled hair that gets in the way. The moment he wants to pick up a History book “하늘색과 에델바이스의 부재” he accidentally pushes the book a little then the book falls from table and land in front the person before him.
Sehun look up and let out a long sigh “Sorry dude, not today those mess up guidance of mine not allowed it” while picking up the book and stuff it in the bag the person before him just shrugged his shoulder. “Well, have a good weekend”. Sarcasm
“Come on Kai it’s not like I want to ditch last minute those fag- I mean Chanyeol and Baekhyun set a goddamn curfew for me, me who is big enough to smoke” The rambling go on and on while the two buddies walk together out of class and heading home together.
The road they take is nothing special, since Sehun was adopted by Chanyeol and Baekhyun five years ago, it an understanding that he having a little culture shock regarding the unfamiliar household and the same-sex couple.
Alas, the sense of gratitude did not reach his heart, meanwhile, it bore into a disgusting feeling of having live under the same roof. Even five years already passed Sehun still feel awkward towards them and having the contradictory opinion.
Sehun let out another big sigh like other raging hormone teenager Sehun thinking of a way to get out of the house and live the way he wants. “Sehun have you ever think of loving them as your parents instead of treating them like a housemate you know maybe-“.
“No never, it useless and why would I, it is them the one who wants to adopt me so deal with it” This time Sehun voice higher than normal, while Kai look away and memorized the scenery of autumn he felt sad for Sehun and the couple nevertheless the advice him trying to give never reach Sehun heart it was not Kai tired but he felt unhappy of how disrespect Sehun is.
On the other hand, these are not Sehun fault, he was bullied for being adopted by the homo couple. The 10th grade is a nightmare for Sehun, whatever it is it all in the past but not for Sehun.
“I’ll see you on Monday, good luck” Kai wave while going in the opposite direction. “Yeah, thanks” Sehun looks at the bungalow house in front of him and takes a deep breath “Here we go”.
He punched the house key code, take off the shoes and walk towards his room, as he should be but no someone had another idea for him to relax and chill on weekend.
“Sehun welcome back, how school? Today we eat hotpot nothing special it just your teacher call and said you do well in your History contest so I—“
“Enough Baekhyun stop being nosy, are not you tired from talking every day?” Sehun looks at Baekhyun who tries very hard to hide the hurt feeling. “Look Baekhyun I’m not going to join you and your fantasy of playing house like a happy family while in reality this is bullshit and you for the sake of humanity are not supposed to talk and breathe you know it better than anyone else so enjoy your dinner”
The loud bang of the door closed echoes in the whole house, startling Baekhyun a bit. Baekhyun look at the kitchen counter all the ingredient nearly finished to be served, he just feel proud of Sehun achievement and never thought that celebrating it will hurt Sehun feeling. “I just want to make you happy Sehun-ah” the tears slowly fall from the corner of his eye.
Suddenly the happiness feeling before disappeared in the second transform into the feel of sorrow.
After a few minutes, the sound of the main door opened, which make Baekhyun wipe his tears and put on a smile. Yes, it an only a bad day not a bad life.
“Welcome back Yeol” his other half, his lawful husband and soulmate.
“Hey Baek, how’s your day everything good?” Chanyeol puts the briefcase on the sofa and walks toward the kitchen seeing Baekhyun cook for him makes his heart flutter about how lucky he is to be wedded to Baekhyun the apple of his eyes.
Chanyeol back hugging Baekhyun and sniff the latter neck, honey.
“If you quite like this, must be Sehun being harsh on you again”. Baekhyun shakes his head turnaround slowly the right-hand trace up to Chanyeol's face and caresses the taller cheek. “Sehun just having a bad day, he stress of school it understandable” Chanyeol hold Baekhyun left hand and kiss the ring on the finger, “My a stór Baekhyun, you are strong but does not mean you can’t rely on me, I’ll have a talk with him later”.
“Just talk, use soft language do not make him cry” the latter warning sounds cute for Chanyeol the kissable lips make him look at his other half with lust. “Yeah just talk, a talk so I’m going to hit the shower later we eat together”.
Sehun huff in frustration, ‘shit’ he should not be that harsh regrettably the anger inside of him cannot be cocoon anymore or long enough, he also hurt deep in his heart, sad and angry. But the displeasure in himself growing day by day. If only he can choose who can adopt him he would choose those normal couples,s not some same-sex couple who pretend to play family. Or maybe change himself for the better…?
Disgusting.
The clock shows it half to 7.00 p.m. which still has for him to sneak out and go to manga café, the money is no problem for him since Baekhyun always spoil him to rotten on a monthly allowance. Grabbing his jacket, and mask all in black and grey he slowly opens the door looks around if the line clear or not because Chanyeol should be back by now.
After confirming that everyone is busy with their own task, like a mouse quietly but quickly run to the front door grab his shoes and in lightning open the door and fled from home.
“Sehun where are you going?!!” Baekhyun lookout at the house patio the shadow of Sehun already vanishes from sight, the heavy feeling in his heart tell otherwise today should be a happy day for their family to celebrate but how dumb Baekhyun is not understanding Sehun.
“Baekhyun comes inside it chill outside, I’ll give him a call after dinner”.
“But Chanyeol, Sehun did not eat and he did not wear enough clothes despite the weather outside”.
“Baek just eats first, after eat we can think better and in rational mind now come to eat with your husband before I eat you” the midget face suddenly turns red, giving Chanyeol his ‘deathly’ glare. Humph.
Avoiding dinner together is not the first time for them, For the past 5 years Baekhyun tries very hard to pull together his little family, unfortunately, he still lacks here and there.
Sehun gets into the nearest PC Bang, pays at the counter and chooses his cubicle, brings along the instant ramen and banana milk into the cubicle. ‘Ahhhh nothing perfect than ramyeon and milk’.
In the other side of the universe, a boy in his 17 is fighting with all his life against the enemy that the boy does not even know or what the men behind mask one for him, but one thing he can be sure, they want to kill him.
Suddenly an attack from the back stabbed his shoulder then the dagger pull and stabbed at the boy's right hip. The screaming of agony can be heard amidst of rain not too heavy neither a drizzle one. The blood gushes out from the boy's body.
“I’ll not die today or in the hand of your master, in the name of Tenmei Jinsil descendant of the Wang Nak-Yeob this prince will not die in this life”.
Thus, a thunder and typhoon become strong, the sound group of army approaches them to make the mask men flee out in instant.
“Save the prince!!!”
“Save the Prince!!!!”.
After finish a few rounds of games, Sehun looks at the time, and it nearly 11 p.m. It seems he already stays long enough outside thinking that Baekhyun and Chanyeol already went to sleep, he decides to call it a day he is not that rushing neither slow the action but certainly he taking time to clean up the mess.
While walkout from the PC Bang, Sehun looks down on his phone checking if there is any text from Kai or something else. None, the only texts he received are from Chanyeol asking his whereabouts Sehun choose to ignore it and walk away. The moment he tries to slip the phone into the pocket Sehun having a second thought, it did not hurt to reply a single text, thus he replies with ‘OMY’.
He walks past the dark alley, if that day Sehun knows it going to be his last day to see his adopted parent, he might…
He might what…?
Suddenly a group of men, attacks him out of nowhere, continues to beat Sehun out of sympathy without giving any warning or time to Sehun identifying what happened to him. “Stopp… it hurt, stop….” His voice sound lifeless plead to them to stop beating him. After few minutes, of kick and punches, they left Sehun without saying anything.
Before Sehun could call for another help, he lost consciousness.
He feels cold, hungry, out of energy and weak. He tries to open his eye slowly unfortunately his body seems to shut down. The fingertips likewise not working with him to move a little. ‘Prince Sehun…. Prince Sehun….Prince Sehun’
That unfamiliar voice, making him wondering what actually happened to him ‘Prince?’ Who?
Suddenly something sharp pierce his right arm. Needle? “Ahhhhhhh!!” Sehun as speed as lightning awake from his deep slumber and sort of let out a strong scream. “My Prince you awake?’ the relief sigh from the person beside him, makes Sehun quickly identify his surroundings. Gyeongbokgung Palace? The design and the vibe around him giving the vibe that he is in the Joseon era.
Sehun look to his right, ‘Wahh this people also wear Joseon era attire, wait why they bow… no not bow it like pay respect…?’ The environment around him quite weird and awkward for him. “Where am I? Is this Jong-nu?” Yes asking a question definitely important right now, to know where he is and what actually happened also where those motherfucker that beat him out of nowhere.
“My Prince, you are in your yard” the guy wearing white and blue robe answer his question. “Yard, my prince?” That’s weird is this a prank or is his in someone dream?
“No I mean, where am I? And who are you? Where Baekhyun and Chanyeol?”
Suddenly all five person around him in unison “Long live the King of Giljo Ra” said them. “Look it now getting weird I’m asking you guys where is my guidance alright you know where is my parent I want to see them now!” the terrified look of the guy beside him make Sehun shivering he only asking for his guidance what the problem with that.
“My Prince perhaps are you still not fully awake? Are you sure you want to meet the King and Honored Consort right now, My Prince?” without thinking Sehun give the firm look and a single heavy Yes for the answer.
“If that you wished for, I’ll inform the maid in the meanwhile my prince how are you feeling?” seems like the guy beside him really make Sehun wondered what in the actual holy cow is happening right now.
“I have a question, why are you calling me Prince and why are you in that clothes and why I also in these ancient clothes?” without Sehun knowing he raise his voice quite high. “Apologize, my prince these humble physician need to do test on you, since my prince might having short-term memory lose”.
Sehun blinking his eyes few times, do not tell him that he somehow transmigrate to another world or dimension “What year and era is this?” while checking the Prince, the middle age man answer Sehun. It Year 35 in the Giljo era since the past era and empire already pass down to new King.
“Giljo, giljo I think I have heard it somewhere before but where is it? Erghhhh my head hurt” the heaviness in his head because trying to remember things make Sehun suffer in pain. The physician quickly inserts the needle on Sehun one by one, before Sehun knows it the headaches slowly subside now he knows that he not in his world he really somewhere, somewhere he knows well he is in the book of 하늘색과 에델바이스의 부재, the history themes novel that he read recently.
But why the name still same it should be different, it should be Hwang Pil the name of prince. ‘Damn it I just read it in the first few page not even half of the chapter, I’m fucked should not I transmigrate to the world I have finished read’ Sehun cuss himself recite the mantra of stupidity he is right now.
“The arrive of King Chanyeol and Honored Consort Byun” the door slide open, Sehun look up and seeing Chanyeol and Baekhyun in a prestigious and exclusive robe, wait why Baekhyun is consort?.
“How is Prince Sehun?” King Chanyeol walk towards Sehun bed leaving Baekhyun a bit far from him. “It seems Prince Sehun is having a short-term memory loss, other than the cuts and bruises on his body he will be fine after a month of rest”. The physician bow in front the King, Chanyeol than take a place beside Sehun on the right precisely while Baekhyun the Honored Consort take his place on the left side.
“How are you son?” The voice sounds rich and consist of the dignity of a King. “Can I have everyone out except for you and Baekhyun?” the gasp in the room are loud, the Honored Consort also let out a small gasp.
Chanyeol wave for everyone to wait outside. After all the maid and physician including Chanyeol and Baekhyun lady in waiting and eunuch the room only left with three people. The tense are no joke while Sehun calculating what he should do and what character he is the Honored consort already change his expression before it sweet like honey that can melt people heart now it cold with sharp gaze.
“I thought you only loss memory, never knew you all so have gone mad, Sehun” he fucked Sehun seriously in deep shit, the Baekhyun he knows are opposite of these kind Baekhyun. “You dare to summon me here Sehun?” now is Chanyeol turn, Sehun already cuss both Chanyeol and Baekhyun in his mind he try to keep calm and being rational. Look Sehun this is not your world there must be something like a game task to do in order to go back where you come from.
Unfortunately, he is a teenager with raging hormones the world be patience are taboo in Sehun dictionary.
“Haa~~ look I don’t call you guys here to fight and involve in this shitty sarcasm or anything, I just said to them I want to meet Chanyeol and Baekhyun like the physician said I lose my memory that mean I don’t remember anything like everything in my whole life so I want you to explain to me, where my parents and house or am I adopted here or something?” Sehun reply their gaze with rolling eyes.
Baekhyun and Chanyeol look at each other, Sehun who is in the middle try to search for something, he spotted a dragon tattoo on his left biceps right at the place he got stabbed. “Ahhhh why I have a tattoo!!” Sehun screams surprise Chanyeol and Baekhyun who is trying to analyze what is happening. “That’s not a tattoo, it’s your birthmark,” said Baekhyun. “Holy shit why these birthmark look like tattoo the heck, where mirror I need mirror Baekhyun to give me mirror” Baekhyun look at Sehun with disbelieving, like someone just spit on his face.
“Erghh fine dad can you pass me the mirror I really need it” Sehun grab hem of Baekhyun robe and shake it little like child asking for candy. “Dad?” Sehun ask again, Chanyeol who are not in Sehun sight grab the mirror and hand it to Sehun. “Oh thanks Chan- I mean father” he grabbed the mirror and check out his face and nothing change it still his old same face. “Look like I’m still handsome as ever, now tell me where my parents and my house?”
“Here is your house and we are your parents, the Honored Consort give birth to you in the spring of 16 years ago and I your other dad” Chanyeol calmly answer Sehun question. “We are your parents and you are 4th Prince of Giljo in Tenmei Jinsil”.
After hearing it few second of quietness surround them, then Sehun look at the both of them few time. Then craft smile he said “You guys joking right?” both of them shake their heads. Sehun once again pass out in instant, head land on Baekhyun lap.
“Look like he really loss memory of his life” Baekhyun look at the child on his lap slowly move Sehun head to the pillow and arrange the bed. “What should we do now Your Majesty, having Sehun loss his memory it will impossible to catch the assassins that want to kill him and the person behind all of this”
“How can the 4th Prince went outside without maid or eunuch, the way Sehun talk also different from us, is the assassin giving a pill to poison him or to weaken his body? Either this was work from the inner palace or the outsider we will find out later” Chanyeol firm answer make Baekhyun smile a little.
“And this child seems a bit rude yet close than before nice but cold feeling, is this sign that I should…”. “Baekhyun stop the nonsense, later in morning assembly morning I’ll ‘inform’ the minister one by one don’t worry”. Chanyeol touch Sehun head, normal temperature then he look at Sehun body covered in bruises purple and blue.
“It’ll be bloody war since they already target 4th Prince and did not hesitate to kill him” Baekhyun mutters.
