-Outdoor Market

@Choi Seunghyun "I told you I could sneak out" He slurred as his head hit the back of the seat. Looking out the window he sighed seeing all the scenery beginning to change. "Back to the hell hole huh?" He chuckled running a hand through his hair as he leaned against the glass watching everything blur and blend together. "They all have it so easy don't they?" He mumbled thinking to how easy their life seemed compared to his. All the freedom they had, all the freedom he didn't. "Maybe one day I'll be able to disappear completely to where no one could find me." He said leaning back against the seat and lit a cigarette exhaling the smoke then offered it to Seunghyun. "Don't worry, it's not a drug, just a cigarette" He chuckled looking to him.

@King Ji Yong Seunghyun was beginning to lose his cool as he pushed pedestrians out of his way as he searched for the king thinking seriously about injecting a track device in him while he slept. Soon most of the streets had been cleared out along with the bars when he got a call from another knight stating they had found Jiyong. Sighing he made his way to the bar they had him at listening to the struggle on the other end hoping things didn't get out of hand. Entering the bar he walked in just as the king had stopped putting up a fight and now had his head resting on the counter top. "Go bring the car outside the bar and go back to your stations." He ordered the present guards and knights. "Sir this is not a funny matter you could have been put in danger or assassinated and your sneaking skills may be okay..." He had to admit he was caught off guard. "I think it's time to get you back home." He took hold of his arm helping him out the bar and into the waiting car. "To the castle." He told the driver once he slid in next to Jiyong in the back of the car.

@Choi Seunghyun Ji stayed in the shadows drinking a beer chuckling seeing the guards running around as he looked for his next available exit. He knew hed be caught soon but that didn't mean he couldn't have some fun with the guards first. Turning his back, he blended in with the crowd and continued drinking on his beer, tossing it to the ground and shifted in between the people and eventually getting into another club and headed straight to the bar ordering more drinks before feeling drunk enough to not feel anything and left the bar after he paid and stumbled out into the streets, still in hiding before he made it to another bar and sat down drinking more, this time now leaving when the guards found him, even putting up a slight fight not wanting to leaving his spot. Feeling his head spinning he laid it down on the counter and closed his eyes to stop the rapid spinning. "I was wondering how long it would take you to find me this time. And you said my sneaking skills aren't that good" He slurred chuckling.

@King Ji Yong "No sire your sneaking skills are very mediocre." He chuckled softly looking around the club shaking his head watching all the people drunk and drugged. Listening to him speak of the past when they first met made him think back to his days of being a normal soldier on leave to relax. "Things happen and people change." He simply said knowing he could never go back to being that guy he had an important day to day responsibility. Looking at the king with curious eyes he realized he had never really truly seen him happy as he thought hard on it he missed when Jiyong sprang to his feet moving to the packed dance floor. Coming back to his senses he stood up looking around for the king seeing him no where in sight. "." He cursed putting his ear piece back in turning it on. "Everyone be on alert the eagle has left my sight check all bars and search the streets while having guards issue an immediate clear out of all civilians in the market district." He ordered as he walked around the crowd of dancing people in search of the king. Finding him no where he left the club as people began to be told to leave sprinting through the streets mentally cursing himself fr being to lax.

@Choi Seunghyun "I thought my sneaking out skills were great" He said with a slight pout before downing his drink and started on another. How many had he drank now? He wasn't sure. "When we first met, it was great. I could party all night before someone noticed I was missing and send someone after me. Now they expect it and send you after me" He said with a sigh and leaned back in the seat once more and looked out to the dance floor. "How much have I changed? When we first met, my drug addiction wasn't nearly as bad as it is now. I didn't OD as much and I had a sense of happiness. Tell me, Seunghyun; when was the last time you saw me happy?" He questioned the knight before laughing a bit to himself. He was getting drunk already, but he wasn't anywhere close to where he wanted to be. Before he could answer his question, he sprang up and moved to the dance floor blending in with the crowds getting lost and hopefully losing his company. As he mixed in with the crowds, he slowly backed off into the darkness and found a exit door and slipped through it. Closing it quietly he made his way away from the club and down the alleys to another to drink more in the privacy of his own company.

@King Ji Yong Seunghyun said nothing because in a way Jiyong was right he was unsure of himself. It was a life he never out right said he wanted it was instilled in him that this was the route he would take in life since young. "I will be the first to apologize to you for having to follow you around but it is my duty to protect you sir." Sipping his beer Seunghyun could understand his want of privacy and not being watched over all the time but too many people wished to due harm to him. "You should try harder at sneaking out because you are not doing such a good job." He smiled lightly always finding it amusing watching his highness sneak out but Seunghyun always caught him. "I do remember the time we met before I knew you were king it was when I was just a soldier and not a knight but things have changed I am working for you know and protecting you." He downed the rest of his beer content with having no more to drink. "If there are no immediate threats in the vicinity then we can stay until you are ready to go but if someone has picked up your location we have about 30 minutes before any threats arrive." He explained nodding knowing he wasn't going to be returning to the castle with a sober king. "How much have you changed?" He asked curious as to what he mean't earlier.

@Choi Seunghyun "I ask because I can sense you are unsure of yourself as my guard Seunghyun. And I'm somewhat hoping you'll say no one of these days" He mumbled the last sentence under his breath as he drank his beer before raising a brow to Seunghyn's question. Why did he dislike being a king? Many would dream of his position to rule and have countless women flaunts he selves at you day after day. But to Ji Yong; all he wanted was time alone and be himself. "I dislike it because no matter where I go; I'm followed. I have no sense of privacy. If I want to go out on my own; I can't without sneaking out. Do you remember the time you and I met before you realized I was king? How much fun it was." He smiled little at the thought. "Since you became a guard and realized it was me who you were guarding; you changed. But it's a understandable change. I did too. And not for the better" He shrugged reaching into his pocket for his cigarettes and lit one up exhaling the smoke and sighed. "How long do we have till you have to take me back? I'm not going to go back sober I hope you know" He said and drank another beer. He wanted to drink till he couldn't think anymore and wake up the next morning feeling hungover and stay in bed.

@King Ji Yong Seunghyun nodded and refrained from bowing following orders not to address Jiyong in a formal manner. He talked of getting killed or kidnapped like it was simple as eating but Seunghyun would never allow him to be killed on his watch. He was right about one thing he would end up seeing his dealer one way or another and even if Seunghyun took it upon himself to threaten the dealer or end him there were others who would sell to Jiyong. At least this one seemed trustworthy and didn't lace his drugs with anything life threatening. Following close behind trying to blend in and not look like he was guarding Jiyong. "There are five of us out spread out in the area along with the guards that regularly patrol this part of town." He informed him nodding at the offer to go get a drink. Following closely into the club Seunghyun turned off his ear piece after in forming the other knights. Sitting down in the booth he watched the crowd cautiously before looking towards Jiyong hearing that very familiar question being asked of him. "No I do not grow tired of it." He always gave him the same response even if he wasn't even sure if he truly did get tired of it after having being drilled for most of your life with military and protecting the royal family it all seemed normal to him. "Why do you always ask me that question even though my answer has yet to change?" He picked up a cold glass of beer downing half of the tall glass always enjoying a good drink from time to time. Alcohol helped him cope and drown thoughts he would rather not let fester in his mind. "Sire I know you tire of your position but have you sat down and thought of why you dislike being king?" He asked as he watched citizens dance and drink to there content.

@Choi Seunghyun Jumping slightly when he heard someone address him he could only guess who it was and let out a annoyed sigh. He thought he had actually gotten away perfectly. "You know ill end up seeing my dealer one way or another." He said exhaling the smoke. "And don't address me like that out here. You know there are people who want to kill me or hold me hostage. I'm not liked very much out here" He reminded his knight before sighing. Despite their rank differences, the two had a friendship he was always glad to have. They had met once when Ji Yong was partying and they were friends ever since. "Seunghyun, just let me get what I need then we can go to clubs and get wasted. And you know hoe the mistresses and the queen herself in some occasions get if they find me with a commoner" He said shaking his head at the thought of jealous women, he had plenty if them already and he still didn't care if he pissed them off. Turning his back he continued on his way looking for his dealer. "So how many of you are out here now?" He asked normally like it happened everyday. After finding the dealer, he paid for the drugs and thanked the guy before turning to Seunghyun while pocketing the drugs. "Let's go get a drink shall we?" He smiled at him and began walking towards a club and entered it without many second thoughts, the only thought was to get drunk enough not to remember anything. Grabbing a seat in a booth he ordered a few beers and relaxed into the seat as he watched the people enjoy their carefree life and wishing it was his. "Do you ever get tired of your position Seunghyun?" He always asked him that question when he was out and about the citizens of his country. He loathed them in being so carefree and happy. Only he could dream of it

@King Ji Yong Trailing the king wasn't an easy task especially when he was dead set on leaving the palace in secret. Seunghyun had almost lost him three times since they arrived to the busy market area that even know at sundown seemed to be packed with people just a different kind of people than the innocence you witness during the day versus the sin scattered amongst the streets. Seunghyun was understanding of the Kings dislike of royal life after listening and speaking him on many occasions regarding his birth right. The two had a friendship as some would call it which developed when Seunghyun had a let his guard down and indulged in partying. So when the king did run off secretly he would follow and show himself when needed. He could tell His royal highness was looking for his dealer a man Seunghyun never trusted but he couldn't tell the king what and what not to do he was only to protect him. Stepping out from his hidden position against a building he followed silently at a distance behind Jiyong alert and on the look out while listening to chatter from guards and knights on his ear piece sighing in relief when he picked up info on the dealers whereabouts . "Your highness he is around the corner standing in back of a night club." He made himself known as he bowed guessing he could keep him out of trouble by directing him to where he needed to go right away. "Your highness might I suggest skipping out on the dealer and getting a drink at the club perhaps with a lady or two." He was subtle with his way of trying to steer him away from drugs, he felt the king was throwing his life away with his addiction he was better than that.

@Choi Seunghyun Ji Yong looked around as he walked through the markets. Dressed as a normal civilian, he walked casually around looking for something to calm his nerve. He had snuck out of the palace for a day away from his 'royal' duties. Honestly, he had had enough of the royal life and wanted something simpler, that's were his drug addiction came into play and he was out of his favorite drug and needed to stock up again. Making sure he wasn't being followed he went down ally ways and back roads to find his dealer to stock up once more. Running his hands through his hair, he lit a cigarette and exhaled the smoke as he walked and looked for his dealer.
