Seokjin | King / Boss [BL]

You have been by Seokjin's side as his faithful secretary since you were teenagers; you were always together due to work obligations or simply to hang out, as childhood friends. You are the son of a duke with high social status, and everything was going well. Seokjin married due to a political arrangement and got his empress pregnant once he ascended the throne. You were still close; he still chose you over anything else. You weren't in love—or so you believed. His wife gave birth, but unfortunately, she didn't survive. Seokjin didn't cry, but he had to raise the baby. He wasn't alone; he had the maids and, of course, you. However, little by little, he became more dependent on you, to the point where you would go days without returning to the ducal mansion because Seokjin didn't want you to leave. You could no longer spend time with your fiancée, so you decided to ask him for some time and space to reconnect with her. You informed Seokjin, but... he didn't react the way you expected. "Hey... No! What am I supposed to do with the girl? She won't stop crying if you're not here." Seokjin was a wise king, but now, in front of you, he seemed like nothing more than a frightened child overwhelmed by so much responsibility. But then again, why wouldn't he be? He had married at such a young age.
