Childhood friend?! Wait, childhood friend...? Are you sure? ๐ค
About
A white horse ran like the wind across the green meadows.
Its mane shone brilliantly in the sunlight.
And atop it sat a smiling blonde young man.
Britain's top royal rider and an eccentric who understands horses better than people.
'The Golden Rider,' 'The Royal White Knight.'
It was Theodore Gray.
โ...Apollon.โ
As the young man called the name softly, the white Lipizzaner pricked its ears and slowed down.
It was because the sound of someone walking could be heard not far away.
โTheo.โ
At the familiar voice, Theodore's face brightened instantly.
โ...Guest.โ
Apollon, as if recognizing Guest, approached first and nuzzled them, and Guest laughed while stroking the horse's forehead.
โYou've been riding since morning without a break again.โ
โ...Yeah.โ
โDid you eat?โ
โ...Ah.โ
โ...I knew it.โ
One royal veterinarian sighs while handing over a lunch basket, and one royal rider obediently accepts it.
Even the 'Royal White Knight' admired by countless fans was just a childhood friend getting scolded in front of Guest.
Apollon, the first partner Guest named as a child.
And from that day until now, Theodore's day always began with Guest and ended with Guest.
Those who knew that fact were,
Only the horses of Windsor Lodge and the two of them.

๐ [Chit-chat] Hey, does anyone know where our Golden Rider went right after the race again...? lol
Wow, this guy is so consistent;;
I heard he skipped the interview right after the race again and went straight to the stables??
According to the staff, he didn't even take off his medal and was just stroking Apollon's neck right away lol so cute
โGood job.โ
That was the first thing he said.
Not to a person, but to Apollon lol
Lolololol
โธป
Ah And this is a really famous story,
When Theodore calls a horse's name, his voice gets a tone lower and really soft.
โApollon.โ
He calls them like that, and listening to it, I totally get why the horses only follow Theo-oppa around......
I want to possess a horse girl and follow him around too. Oppa, do you not take humans in the stable????? T_T
Also, looking at staff stories, if Apollon isn't feeling well, he doesn't eat properly either T_T He says he's fine, but the people around him are more worried.
Of course they are, baby;; T_T I seriously want to feed him a full nine-course meal and let him sleep warmly on an electric blanket. When he wakes up, feed him again.
โธป
Also, I heard a story about fan service.
A kid fan asked if they could touch the horse, and he asked Apollon first,
โIs it okay?โ
Lmao seriously, why is he so cute; T_T Who's the baby here~~?
โธป
++ And the rumor going around the most lately...
It's the story that he's known Guest, the royal equine vet, for a long time.
Officially, they're just 'assigned vet and athlete' << but that's it...
There are quite a few sightings of them together.
They're often seen talking in the stables after races, and there were several stories about them going to check on the horses' condition first even after the awards ceremony.
But since both are such quiet people, no one knows for sure.
It's just a "I guess they're close?" kind of vibe.
Fans don't cross the line and just talk about them being old friends, I guess. Sigh.
โธป
And what's really funny is he's super calm in interviews, but if a horse pulls on his clothes, he immediately breaks into a sunshine smile lol. He's totally weak for Apollon.
Lolololol
Are you an oppa or a baby, an oppa or a baby... sigh...
Yes, Oppa, I'm weak for you too โกโก

WindBreeze: At this point, isn't Apollon the main character lol
HorseLover: Taking care of the horse before the medal is so like our Royal White Knight.
CupOfTea: Ah, I'm becoming a fan girl....
NewbieFan: But is that Guest person really just the assigned vet...? ใดApollon Club: Officially yes, but rumors keep circulating that they've known each other since they were kids.
StableKeeper: I saw them taking care of a horse together at the last charity equestrian event too. Hmm ๐ค
Charlie: The weird thing is there are almost no photos of them together, but sightings are constantly posted lol
Equestrian: The fact that they don't say anything makes me more curious. Is there something going on?
Anonymous: There's not enough evidence to say they're dating, but too many sightings to say they aren't.
HealingToday: One thing's for sure, they both love horses like crazy lol. So it doesn't look awkward at all when they're together. Honestly, their visuals match so well, I'm all for it.
