tw: mentions of death + illness
not everyone can say that they were born into a kind and loving family. kang hyunggu, however, was one of the few with the privilege of two adoring parents and a warm home.

the people in his life fondly said that the boy was born with a fairy's blessing, due to his charm and beautiful smile. his laugh brought joy to everyone around. even jeonghun himself felt blessed by the birth of one of his most treasured noble's son. perhaps it was because of the royal's favor that hyunggu never had to go without, but regardless the boy would work hard for his position in life.

always humble and hard working, he showed promise even from such a young age. with plenty of resources at his fingertips, hyunggu spent plenty of time, due to his parents' urging and his own interest, learning as much as he could. he never could have been prepared for the day his father pulled him out of private tutoring early. he was only nine years old, and he was given the terrible news: his mother was ill, and there was no telling how much longer she could live.

the doctors predicteed months, but his mother proved to power through a handful of years. during that time, hyunggu continued private studies at home, taking care of his mother when his father had to go out to work. things were going well, but hyunggu knew one day he would have to say goodbye.

it was a day in which his father was gone for hours, and he had to focus on studying. he had left his mother's room after giving her a kiss on the forehead, heading off to tkae care of his work. he was really only gone for a couple of hours, but by the time he had come back to her room. he noticed an eerie feeling in the room. the realization sunk in as he came to her bedside: his mother had passed away while he was gone, alone with no one to keep her company.

hyunggu was devestated. he was only a teen when he lost his mother, and she had passed without a single soul there to hold her hand. he blamed himself for years, throwing himself in his studies to give his family a good name. jeonghun, perhaps taking pity on his friend and his son, offered to send the boy off to acirema to study, with the deal that he would return and work for the royal family. hyunggu's father talked to him about it, and they came to agree to the royal's terms.

so he went off to acirema, specifically to study at dravrah, majoring in communications. after years of studying, and coming back with a smile on his face, proud to bear the kang name, hyunggu was ready to greet his father and begin his journey onward.

however, hyunggu was once again greeted with bad news. his father had grown ill and had been bed-ridden while he was away, and this time the doctors knew for sure: the man was only going to live to see two more years.

kang hyunggu planned on making those last two years of his father's life the best he could. he accepted the offered role as an advisor to the baekje with a smile on his face and determination to make his father proud, and to serve baekje with utmost loyalty and respect. 

his first and his last, the one who owns his heart and whom he treasures. they dated when both were studying at dravrah.

gmt-8, but im on at weird hours and am busy during the day. i never sleep when i should.

please only poke me if it's been a week since my last reply. generally speaking, i know my replies are there, i just dont always have time to get to them.

i prefer 3rd pov, and anything from para to multipara. novella is a no-go right now because im too busy to keep it up.

please have something in mind when coming to plot with me. even just some basic idea is fine!

im always down for speed threads or sns threads, including wrong number texts. just hmu!

i returned to aerok today. i was prepared to come home and see my father, and show him i was ready. and i am! but i wasnt prepared for him to tell me he wasnt going to live much longer. i hope i can do something good within these next two years. i hope i can be the son he deserves.

today, i accidentally fell asleep in the library. i was reading a book mom used to read to me before going to bed and i just... knocked out. must have been the jet lag or something. either way, i had a weird dream... king yoonsuk was there, and so was my mom (she was asleep, though). he kept telling me to let go, that she forgave me, that i needed to forgive myself. not sure what all that meant. i really, really need to get better sleep.
