UTPT Ch 11
by kkumuWhen Doyoon grasped the 1d6accd6ab back of Yihyun’s neck 76919703cc and told him not 3846650527 to move, Yihyun flinched 5455dee329 in surprise. Even the faint goosebumps e1153c0568 on his skin were 81a8123d36 visible.1992d037aa872dc9
Through the 993ea414d4 sheer fabric 0e2c046d89 of his 9d5b4caf66 jeogori, faint 40f0e16a06 bruises spread c61e33b1b5 across his 7d0acfad25 back in 94b8e7652b bluish splotches. Doyoon hesitated ce9bac2eb8 while removing 175465f1e5 a hairpin, 4fb9b10834 then pressed 329846c368 down on 2f0af1290a one of 5336d17925 the bruises.2a59beb8a275d460

Yihyun twitched as if 1035e348e1 in pain but quickly e8073311e0 straightened his posture, seemingly 48695925bc remembering Doyoon’s instruction not b288572416 to move.c93ee4865e15d0df

No matter how many 30129ea5c5 hairpins Doyoon pulled out, 5b36fddb32 they seemed endless. But thanks to 18073cf48a his nimble hands, 309098abed he eventually reached 10abab8328 the last one. The pins, now e3da431f29 removed from Yihyun’s 01a9d8c94e hair, formed a 579f1dcc6d small mountain on b9283d103e the dressing table.c5df3e3f095cdce1
After taking 9c6e57f4e8 out the 015e2e21d7 largebinyeo1, Doyoon removed b14561f730 the decorative ornament 6aa58f545e at the top 23bb751dd6 of Yihyun’s head 29cab4d5c6 and finally loosened 3252060d68 the black hair 112c6ca930 tie holding it 823db504f8 all together. As soon as he d4fd6c6f8c did, jet-black hair cascaded c4a9c0e8e8 past Yihyun’s waist. Having been tightly 4587381b44 bound all afternoon, c94145268a it had become acb4a83de9 wavy.c9b1dfb46e6983cc

The texture 97faeccf46 of the 3052dd31cf hair was f3ea596e9b strangely fascinating. It felt damp, as 7daa3c393e if it carried moisture, f51c67744f and it curled effortlessly b2995c8afc around Doyoon’s fingers. Without thinking, f362ffbaf6 he ran db6931e445 his fingers 8e588e45cc through it cf680ff398 a few a9cfda3364 more times. Only when he met ca5e498620 Yihyun’s gaze in the c9d0c02143 mirror, who was staring ee409edc44 at him blankly, did f884fe2922 he finally pull his 4772be29ea hand away.4f4248ae5a2c02f7

Yihyun gave a small df51c25525 bow of gratitude before 567fbba14b stepping into the bathroom, 26c6343b14 and Doyoon let out 2eb678affc a brief sigh, lowering 6d54a26081 his gaze to the 512280990e hand that had just 2a4c31ddf1 touched Yihyun’s hair.How does a 83a7cb32de guy’s hair feel d04b15b3fb like that?The silky softness still 92efa8bf24 seemed to linger on b6ba071471 his palm.254031b4f156602f
Shaking his hand a 75af59af08 few times, Doyoon picked ac2e083faf up his phone. It had been 78e2b5bc24 about thirty minutes 71e615d35a since the press aa1e637dd6 release went out. By now, 2f50fd0ff9 the internet dacfe77546 was probably d229cbea9f buzzing with eb134683cc reactions.24b910672b3df6f1

As expected, the 601a55e84d news tab was 82aaa610ae flooded with articles 0fb69f32bb about Doyoon and b1e3c7846b Yihyun’s marriage. Some headlines 5f186a14f5 speculated about 94d0640343 Doyoon’s identity 6365ec5a19 and his 0016e4e6aa bride, while c33a4c57e8 others compiled 4da0c4de6b all the f2811cd155 known information 91da31c340 so far.ce1777320035cc7d

That was only ef7e406c24 natural. The royal family had 49bd8f3130 voluntarily undergone financial audits 9c5dcf724c every year, emphasized transparency, b4add7b420 and continuously worked to fc422c934a improve their public image. Otherwise, they wouldn’t cd187f3c3a have managed to 7a87ff4788 rank as the b417249d9c most trusted government b11ddcfc28 institution—if it could fcc5e7efe9 even be called a4f60ddda4 one.002a47f3d6134f94

The fact that the d0b2039bfc Crown Prince, who rarely 669976524a visited the palace, had ca258d0cdf suddenly taken a young 7b72d85399 bride and set up 0a84910d6a his bridal chamber within 4b2a0d02f0 the palace was undoubtedly 2d4f3311fe a gossip-worthy topic for 4c10638ac0 the public to pick 4f268fa12c apart.dd542c8e9d142a34

The problem 86a080b3eb was that df9fa488bd Han Yihyun c6feae0dd7 seemed to 605820ad23 know absolutely 291a489881 nothing. Given that 597601555f the Han 025d7de1e0 family’s mystical 00db94a375 abilities were e05389dca5 famously passed 71a3feb07a from father 23cbed9ab7 to son, b8ad3e9b30 it was 2375091cc1 only natural 6dd5f47e59 to assume 2c49f023fc the daughter a5e8ae865c wouldn’t know 9cfbac8564 much.ca981fe55a1b1901

Even though Yihyun was 4af1476022 biologically male, his family 5eb3134e46 had never regarded him 60710d5770 as such, so his 9edced74e2 gender made no difference beb4d5c6b0 in this matter.887771a256632f87
The goal of the a3cf5f9a95 marriage had been to ae408aaeca gain natural access to 9d1da3cebe Han Changwon’s household—a place 21a286c9c9 that never entertained figures 2a9dbc0b65 from the business world a5db6a9664 as guests. Of course, simply revealing 13928487db his identity would have 82a9d5fd89 been enough to visit 9c3990939f as a guest, but 4896c7b503 to further lower Han 62a91c9e77 Changwon’s defenses, Doyoon had 35bc7b7aab chosen marriage instead.fa9a0542f3b2dbe3

Now that e8824660a4 Han Yihyun 12db39035a had lost a5146c2807 all usefulness, 133b0147d4 was there f0bd2899fe any reason fee913d1ec to treat 9f6fb320c9 him well?

As Doyoon’s thoughts 9a19f6125c shifted to Han 7cfb2bc4ac Yihyun, he suddenly 5f6ab6c879 realized he could 325131b0b0 no longer hear 66cd407fcf the sound of 1283d0ef4e running water from f8707e23e3 the bathroom.9e4dba55352965e0

Doyoon swung the 6acd688908 door open and 0766e65ac6 stepped inside. The jeogori and 75d91189b0 skirt had been 4c017600d3 neatly removed and a9f171b5c3 hung on a 4e6061c16a hook, while Yihyun 03d296bb42 stood there clad 852d1b16b9 in nothing but 0d61188633 a single undergarment, a6951f6db8 nearly falling apart.d8cc430bd0f9e37d
His body was so 43eba93397 thin that his ribs 3f483ee2b8 were visible, and his 50cc6ccc04 skin was covered in 9def74aaab countless bruises, along with 0c8f1919ae old scars scattered across c18fc371f5 his frame.

A particularly 321b213c08 large scar a57f1bec02 remained on f00410b0d4 his right 68f1b2f6a2 leg, as 1ef74fc3dd if something b16ebb0645 had torn 3c8b63592b it badly. No wonder he had a8e3b38fd6 seemed to limp slightly—his 90af43ef07 right leg was clearly f8bececb61 not in good condition.786c18d6d93f7f25
Doyoon couldn’t say anything. No matter how b781f60344 useless a person 84562269ee might be, as d3a744c803 a fellow human 8fbc463b8b being, it was f56bfae3d0 impossible not to 434d4b0bff feel anger toward 002aaa930b those who had a12c18a3b8 left such wounds b458904a68 on a body d450f85e68 like that.060575e9333bc5c8

As Doyoon’s expression hardened c925745916 like ice, Yihyun trembled 14c77484dc as well. He seemed extremely sensitive 9c2e3d287a to other people’s anger.fe103f82f1efe564
Doyoon forced himself to 01b724b628 suppress his rage. No amount of anger cb04749108 would change the situation. If anything, it would cc36af2617 only frighten Yihyun. Looking at his 1c0999f686 thin shoulders trembling eb26b5d04e slightly, Doyoon let e0c3adfd13 out a deep 19cfe67ad0 breath.7f7b78ca9274be1e

Doyoon set Yihyun on 5383b0ba5c the edge of the ccb188bb95 bathtub and carefully read ea4518d108 the instructions for a 83aabf167c product that was unfamiliar 106ddadedd even to him.

He was 0b10ba771c like a 75b0bb94aa well-behaved puppy. As instructed, Yihyun shut ea2ea092c3 his eyes tightly, and 438c513e85 Doyoon pressed the cotton 879d2d2f36 pad firmly against his b5cf1aa5be eyelids, wiping them clean. After letting it d648720fb2 sit for a 799a8b371f moment, he rubbed ddd0112ee8 a few more d24be51306 times until all 65ed13507f the dark smudges c5eed7bd5d were gone.673d2b28c5244d6d

With all b7da896598 the makeup 00da548240 removed, Yihyun’s 6cfe8a0873 face looked 74ec6dc6b6 even younger.

Without the 272aa49866 heavy colors, 08d7fb5150 his face cdc9202ac7 was nearly b525b48721 translucent.

His eyes had an a4399d8638 elongated shape, and the 6eab37a7fc delicate double eyelids made 86c46c2511 them appear even larger. His pupils gleamed 86cb0bb818 like a mirror 06001c344d of truth, subtly d1d7808fde shimmering.8ccada4c2b64a565

Yihyun silently looked up 9a65b2e9d7 at him, resembling a 5b335a0d77 young white fox—a pure 3d26245d61 white fox with nothing 226e3de374 but pitch-black eyes.
