Summary
“Jongseong.” Jaeyun lifts his head and gives this man the full weight of the eyes, the wide dark imploring look he has been using to devastating effect since nursery. He softens his voice to the register that has never yet failed him. “Please. It is only Sunghoon. He amuses me and I cannot sleep, and I am wretched. Truly I am. Look at me, I am a wretched thing tonight and I want cheering, and there is not another soul in this castle who can do it. You needn't fear for my name. Bring him quietly by the back stair and no one shall be the wiser, and I shall remember your kindness. I always remember, don't I?”
Jongseong does nothing but stare at him for a long minute. Then he sighs from somewhere very deep. “You always get your way, my lord,” he mutters but his voice is laced with grim affection. “It will be the ruin of the pair of us.”
