Sunghoon was exhausted, he'd been up at 7 a.m. for class and had a myriad of mishaps.
Sunghoon sighed and rested his head against the bus window. He just wanted to go home and have a good night's rest only to repeat the same thing again tomorrow.
His eyes drooped close but he'd wait until he got home, he didn't want to miss his stop.
When he finally got to his stop, he dragged his feet, bag slinging across his shoulder.
Sunghoon searched his pockets, now where were his keys?
Ah, there they are! Sunghoon unlocked the door and opened it but it didn't open all the way.
"Huh?" Sunghoon tilted his head, trying to open the door again.
But it seemed something against the door was stopping him and for some reason, Sunghoon's sleep-deprived mind told him to keep trying to open the door and not looking down to find the problem.
"Ow ow!" Someone groaned "who dares to disturb the prince's slumber."
Sunghoon screamed and stepped back, throwing his bag at the offender.
"Oh, my lord! There's a crazy homeless man at my door!" Sunghoon yelled hoping to alert the neighbours.
"Ouch!" The man screamed and stood "Crazy homeless man?"
"Oh my god wait!" Sunghoon's eyes widened when he saw who it was.
"Ja- Prince Jayson?!" Sunghoon's eyes widened and then blinked. Is he that sleep deprived that he hallucinated a prince he learnt about today?
It seemed the prince recognised him too.
"Sunghoon!" The prince said, eyes teary "Sunghoon, oh my god it's you!"
"How do you know my name?" Sunghoon pushed himself against the door. "Oh my god, are you a stalker?"
"You're okay Sunghoon, I'm so glad!" Jay said tears running down his face.
"Dude, why are you crying?" Sunghoon panicked
"I'm just so happy to see you, my love"
"Am I that desperate that my mind conjured up a hot prince from my history textbook?"
"I thought you were dead!"
"Um, what? Dude, who are you?"
"It's me Sunghoon. Your Jay! Your one and only!" Jay said placing a hand on the student's cheek.
"Hands off me!" Sunghoon tried to distance himself but Jay pulled Sunghoon in for a kiss.
Sunghoon yelped and pushed Jay away.
"Nope nope nope!" Sunghoon chanted "this is real, oh god it's real."
Sunghoon opened the door in and got in quickly, slamming the door in the prince's face.
"Sunghoon!" There was a banging on the door "No! Don't leave me again!"
Sunghoon ran into the kitchen and grabbed some salt, running back to the door and opening it.
"Begone demon!" Sunghoon threw the salt at Jay because this most definitely was a demon hunting him for thirsting over dead people "I'm sorry god! I didn't know the ethics behind all this!"
"Sunghoon! What are you doing?" Jay yelled
"Why aren't disintegrating?" Sunghoon said, "it worked on Supernatural!"
"Sunghoon, please! What made you like this? Why are clothes are weird? What is that thing hanging off your neck?"
"My clothes are weird? Have you looked at yourself? Also, this is a mask." Sunghoon explained, "we wear it to prevent the plague."
"Since when and why don't I have a musk?" Jay asked
"A mask," Sunghoon corrected "I don't know dude, what psychological ward did you escape from?"
"Psychological what? Sunghoon why are you talking weird?" Jay questioned
"Dude you're the one that's talking weird and why are you in this get-up, we're not in the 16th century anymore." Sunghoon said
"We're not?" Jay blinked
"Yeah," Sunghoon frowned "we're in the 21st century."
Jay and Sunghoon blinked at each other
"Hold on," Sunghoon said pulling out his history textbook and pulling the page he found Prince Jayson in.
He brought it close to Jay's face and held the prince's face with his other hand, inspecting his face closely.
"Oh my god, you're not just some random cosplayer." Sunghoon gasped "Unless!"
Sunghoon pulled at Jay's cheeks "Okay it's not a latex mask."
"I'm happy you're touching my face." Jay said happily.
"Okay you're creepy," Sunghoon pulled his hand away. "but did you time travel?"
"Time travel?" Jay tilted his head
"Um, what's the last thing you remember." Sunghoon asked
"I-" Jay's eyes got teary again "the last thing I remember is you in my arms, unbreathing after chugging my poison."
"Oh wow," Sunghoon's eyes widened "well I'm clearly alive. Maybe there was a different Sunghoon?"
"You look like my Sunghoon, beautiful."
"Yes yes, I'm very pretty."
"But now I see that you're nothing like my Sunghoon. He was brave, smart, loyal, ethereal-"
"Alright stop, you're making me feel bad about myself." Sunghoon said, "But now that we've established that I'm not the Sunghoon you're looking for, you should go home."
"Home?" Jay thought "Can you point me in the direction of my castle?"
"A castle?" Sunghoon gave Jay a look "I don't think you'll find your castle in Seoul."
"Oh," Jay frowned
"Do you have anywhere else to stay?" Sunghoon asked
Jay thought for a long moment before shaking his head.
Sunghoon sighed
"I can't believe I'm going to let a stranger stay at my home." Sunghoon mumbled to himself
"Come in, I'd feel bad if you had nowhere to go."
