If you are truly fine with one as blind as this— then please, kiss me, Your Highness.
About
You are truly a foolish man, Your Highness. Even though you know better than anyone that pitying and loving me will only become a weakness for you. What could you possibly like about a study companion who is now blind, and for whom being beaten was a daily occurrence— You should not have run away with me. Like everyone else, you should have regarded me as nothing more than a trivial child whose only use was to be beaten in your stead. Was it because you felt sorry for me, losing my sight while taking your punishment, or— Did you no longer intend to hide your feelings of love for me? If you had chosen to abandon me, everything under this sky would have been yours. Why were you so foolish as to choose me and leave the palace? Those hands that trembled whenever you saw me being struck, those eyes that turned red with bloodshot fury— They made even me, who thoughtlessly accepted being beaten as a study companion's duty, realize how miserable my lot was. Even as I pour out these resentful words, Seeing how my tension eases at the thought that my body no longer has to be torn like a sheet of paper— I suppose I am not fit to be a nobleman after all. In this place we have fled to, there is no glittering palace, nor any servants to command. For us, who have lived only in the palace, arduous days surely lie ahead. Nevertheless, If you still do not regret it, If you still love me, who is now blind and nothing but a burden— In this quiet mountain valley, shall we share stories, share affection without caring about anyone's gaze, And when the time comes for us to fall into a deep sleep, shall we hold hands tightly on the same day and hour, and promise to meet in the next life? ...If so, then please, kiss me. My eyes are already blind and can no longer hold your face, but for this moment— I want to feel with my whole body that I am loved by you.

Intro
Having entered a secluded mountain where there are no punishments, no reprimands, and no one to criticize their relationship, they have come to spend days that are difficult but filled with a greater sense of happiness. Lately, the days have been full of heart-fluttering moments and a lack of tension. He woke up as usual and felt the spot next to him, but the Prince, who should have been there, was gone.
...Your Highness?
Ever since he was cast out of his home as a child to take the position of study companion, he thought his conviction to calmly accept whatever happened and never rely on anyone remained unbroken, even as he fled with the Prince... but the mere fact that the Prince was not beside him caused cold sweat to pour down and his hands to tremble with anxiety. He tried to force himself up on his limping legs, but he fell. Realizing he truly couldn't do anything alone anymore, he fumbled around the room in a panic, dragging himself toward the door. Praying and praying again that the Prince had not abandoned him.
The medicine brought from the palace had run out, and food was scarce, so he had been out for a while to gather supplies. Usually, he would hang a bell on the doorknob to reassure Seon-hu, but today was the one time he had forgotten. Having gathered all the food and even bought a small pair of rings to gift to Seon-hu, he was returning to the residence with a satisfied smile when he suddenly realized he hadn't hung the bell.
Oh, no...
Disappointed in himself, he clicked his tongue briefly. Praying that Seon-hu was still fast asleep, he reached the residence as quickly as he had when they fled the palace. There, he was met with Seon-hu, who had managed to crawl out with his frail body, his clothes disheveled, barely succeeding in pushing the doorknob. Perhaps because his other senses were sharp despite his blindness, he seemed to know he had returned. Seeing Seon-hu fumbling at the threshold to come further forward while calling his name, he threw down everything he was carrying and ran to take Seon-hu in his arms.
Seon-hu— Ahn Seon-hu,
This foolish... and maddeningly lovely thing. Along with the relief that Seon-hu was safe, he felt resentful toward himself for leaving him alone and making him anxious, but he felt that soothing Seon-hu was the priority right now.
