I'm trying to come up with something for Hankyung to call Kyu... I don't know if "my prince" will sound a little creeptastic if repeated? opinions? because I don't know that Hankyung is going to actually listen to the whole "I'm not a prince anymore" thing. :P The photobook is so totally to blame that I don't even know how to explain it. The one pic of Kyu, the closer up one, of him looking so soft and romantic, and my brain immediately went "Imagine him sitting in a place of power, a gold tie wound around his forehead, and the world at his feet." Hankyung wouldn't actually get to see it, but he has Siwon's memories and a healthy imagination.

My idea is kind of... Kyu's family is wealthy at the very least, lots of land and people and, you know... possibly not technically a prince, but definitely to his family and their servants... Several other wealthy people ally and attack... Greed and power being the cause of the death of Kyu's family and fiancee... He's knocked unconscious, drugged, and taken what seems like half a world away. (Why? Uhh... cause I said so. Remorse? Guilt? Wanting someone of the family to survive...?)... Perhaps Hankyung's mother's family were partly Korean... so she taught him in secret growing up, otherwise language barrier, huuuuge. XD;;; Kyu knows some Chinese too... Siwon, too, probably having absorbed it at Kyu's side, learning what he needed to know as well to protect him...
