Letting go - Chapter 259
One thing this chapter makes me think about a lot is, what does "letting go" really mean? Is it something to absolutely aim for? and where does Hak position himself in relation to it today?
Hak is worried above all about the dragons right now, but we know well that he's also making a reference to his experience with Soo-won here. After all, even if Zeno did talk about forgetting them, he never said anything about "letting go" specifically. To let go is however very much something he said word for word about Soo-won in the past (chapter 153). If it wasn't already obvious enough, Hak in his turn makes the parallel between what happened with Soo-won and what is happening now with Zeno.
The end of chapter 153 hinted that even if Hak hasn't reached the point where he can let go of Soo-won yet, this is something that will eventually happen down the road thanks to Yona. And how can we not wish it for him? He suffers from it, it makes him angry, depressed, frustrated, it makes him grieve. Hak has always struggled from Soo-won's betrayal, he first tried to repress the feelings, then started walking a long road of trying to reconnect with and make sense of them, the present and their past together. He was slowly healing, he started being content with having a role in the sky tribe as long as the Yona and the hhb were with him. It was all for the best, everyone was walking in the same direction.
And then chapter 243 happened.
To be honest, when I read chapter 259 I couldn't help but have mixed feelings about this. After all, chapter 243 happened just one year ago, and this chapter devastated me like no story had ever before. This past year I thought hard about chapter 243, I tried to make sense of it in multiple ways and get over the devastation it made me go through. I also needed time, a lot of discussions with friends and the distance to see that yes, it is a chapter where both Soo-won and Hak are at their worst emotionally, and they both give up (among many other things but this isn't a ch243 post) but it won't be the end, it's them both failing to get out of this maze. But I just couldn't accept it. I felt angry. That Hak simply accepted how Soo-won, in a way, pushes him away again and the fact Soo-won will die, be replaced, and there is no hope for him. That he didn't contradict Soo-won saying the country will be fine without him, that this is their goodbye and it's over for them. That Hak will forget what they shared in chapter 61. That Hak is letting go and moving on.
So technically speaking I should be more than happy with chapter 259 and Hak saying he sucks at forgetting and letting go! But well, I got fond of chapter 243 with time. I spent so much time thinking and discussing about it, to engage with it, to question every line and to give them a meaning that slowly started to make more and more sense to me. It became precious to me. Yes I'm this dramatic over a single manga chapter but you have to understand the degree of emotional turmoil it made me go through, it was that bad! Anyway,
So when I read chapter 259, while I feel validated and relieved, I can't also can't help but think "But then, what was chapter 243 for?" What did it change in Soo-won and Hak's relationship? Does it not matter at all anymore because anyway Hak said sike and he actually just can't forget and let go? I can't accept this either. And I don't think that's the case.
And in a way, Hak did let go. But forgetting his dream of walking side by side with Soowon as his equal, on the same path, is different than forgetting Soowon whatsoever. Hak decides he won't remember it anymore and takes a different path. But what does it entail? What does he keep and embrace and what did he let go?
The vow of 10 years that tied Soo-won to the people following him, and the vow of 10 years that tied Hak to him. The formers cling to it, not taking into consideration Soo-won's true self and his ability to change. It chains him. It forces him to act not as his real self, but as the ideal image they project on him. They don't respect what the real Soowon wants, they try to make him the Soo-won that /they/ want. Soo-won changed from 10 years ago and corresponds to neither their ideal, neither Hak's. That's why it was so violent for Hak in 243. Hak couldn't see Soo-won's own circumstances, experience and current struggles and even less accept them. But in chapter 251, Hak doesn't let this vow chain them anymore, and in a way, that helped him gain confidence in the entirety of their history together instead of clinging into one aspect of it, no matter how precious it is to him. So I believe Hak needed chapter 243 to realize he was again projecting on Soo-won, and he needed to part ways to put things into perspective right now with the Zeno plot, so for that it's a good thing.
Still, when I put chapter 243 and 259 together, when Hak said he would forget his past vow to Soo-won and that there was no need to remember it anymore, I still think it was also him giving up, not having the strength to fight back because yeah, what can Hak or Soo-won even do about the Crimson Illness? Soo-won himself is convinced he will die, that he will be replaced and things will be perfectly fine without him, and so that he has to let go of Yona and Hak because what they want is the dragons, not him. He's not completely wrong, but this is not taking into account that both of them still care for Soo-won and want him to be there. That it's not about being replaceable or not, that they can care for the dragons and still want Soo-won to live for no other reason than because he is Soo-won. This is something Hak and Soo-won have both been struggling with since they said goodbye, and they are still coming to term in their own pace that they actually don't want things to end there.
Hak let go of his vow of walking by his side as his equal, but he still cares, he still can't forget, and he needed Yona to put it simply into words for him. It's okay to still feel conflicted, to carry contradictory feelings. What is undoubtely there is he wants him to live and to be there. That even apart, even when his priority is saving his friends and protecting Yona, Soo-won is still a part of him and he can't just erase him from his life. And it's fine. I don't think he should have to if ultimately putting things with Soo-won behind him, letting him go, hurts him so much. He deals with things differently than Yona and he doesn't have to do the same as her if that's not what is good to him. Yona shows that even after letting go of the hairpin, it still doesn't mean she can't think of Soo-won and wish for him to live. Letting go isn't erasing someone's existence from your life, it can just be taking a different path without tearing the bond apart.
But what this all makes me think about is, maybe letting go, in the sense of completely putting things behind them, is precisely the problem with Soo-won and Zeno. They're too good at it. We know they struggle to do it completely and honestly, but they are much better at killing their feelings than Hak, and they're able to at least act and pretend as if they were really letting go. What is so similar between Soo-won and Zeno besides betraying Yona and Hak to accomplish their respective goal and their tendency to hide their most unpleasant feelings, is that they are driven by the conviction that they have no other choice. Why does Soo-won discard people, his soldiers, prisoners, his friends? Because he doesn't believe in a path where he can keep them that wouldn't compromise the rest of the country. Before the coup, despite how much he longed for it, Soo-won couldn't believe a future with Yona and Hak by his side would ever be possible. So he gave up this dream, he acted with this fact in mind, he didn't try to pursue it. A self fulfilling prophecy. Chapter 243 was the same. And Zeno now is exactly the same as well. He doesn't believe in any other solution he could come up with together with Yona. He does what he does because if he doesn't, he is convinced he won't have another chance to be free and to end the cycle. Soo-won pretended the one they knew never existed, while Zeno pretends he already forgot them and that they should do the same.
They push them away, they tell themselves that Hak will protect Yona anyway and they will be fine without them. They let go, put an end to their bonds themselves in an (probably unconscious) attempt to have some agency on the end rather than to wait to be left behind.
But Yona's grip is strong, and despite everything Hak sucks at letting go. For their friends and for Soo-won and anyone on their path. And maybe it is important too to not let go. To be stubborn and selfish about it. To not leave anyone behind, to not avert your eyes from those in the shadows. Maybe "to let go" isn't something to wish for as an absolute solution to grief. Maybe letting go just brings more pain sometimes and is the killer of trying to fight for a better solution. Maybe there is worth in keeping what is precious to you close to your chest and fighting for it against all odds.
Honestly, as I write this I am not even sure of the answer. Zeno does deserve rest and to be allowed to go. And I can't tell if Hak will let go of Soo-won for good in the end. There is definitely a lot of good out of letting people and things go sometimes, even in Hak's case. It gives him the space to explore his feelings and come to term with them, and I don't expect him to live his life with anyone but the HHB. But all I feel is, surely, there is a better way to say goodbye. A way to say goodbye not out of resignation and despair. A way for them to listen to their hearts and be honest with their feelings. So I can only wait and keep faith for it, as I watch the characters slowly but surely try to change their fate and not submit to it.
Hey! Saw your post. Could you do a Shin-ah x reader confession scenario? Where he confesses?
Together
Manga/anime: Akatsuki no Yona
Warnings: nothing
(Y/N): your name
When I met Shin-Ah, I immediately felt a strong feeling for him. I've always stayed with him since we met and my strong feeling slowly transformed into love.
We gathered all the four Dragon Warriors and now we're turning to help all needy villages.
~ 💙 ~
It's night.
Yona decided to camp in a small forest near a poor village in the Fire Tribe territory, so now I, Yoon and Yona are in the tent.
Yona and Yoon are already sleeping, but I can't. I continue to turn in my bed, but my thoughts always go to Shin-Ah.
~ 💙 ~
While we were in the Seiryuu's village, looking for him, I and Yona got lost in some caves.
~Pukyuu~
~Pukyuu~
We discovered a squirrel and followed it.
"Are you lost?" I heard a voice. I turned myself and I saw a man: he was a villager. I answered yes, but he grabbed my arm. Before he could take Yona's too, I tried to kick him and yelled at Yona to run.
The man who held my arm dragged me down, when I heard bells ringing. A person firmly grabbed my shoulder and the man's hand. The villager immediately ran away.
"Than-" I didn't have time to finish thanking him before I felt light-headed and then there was darkness. The last thing I remembered was gentle hands that kept me from falling.
I woke up in a cavern. I was lying down and wrapped in strange white fur.
I looked around and I saw the man who had saved me. He was cute: from what I could see, he had blue hair, he was tall and he wore a horned skull mask over half of his face.
Before I could say anything, I beheld the squirrel I and Yona had seen before. It approached me and I picked him up.
"You're so pretty!" I cooed at the squirrel.
"Are you ok?" The man asked me. On no! I was so focused on the cute squirrel I forgot to thank the man for saving me!
"Y-yes! Thank you for saving me." I answered.
He helped me to stand up and led me out of the tunnels, taking me by the hand. His hand was really warm and gentle: it made all the fears I had had up to that moment go away. I held it tighter and moved closer to him. In reality, it was his presence that was reassuring.
~ 💙 ~
"A name?"
"Yes, (Y/N), the Seiryuu told me he doesn't have a name, so I want to give him a name, but I don't know which. Can you help me, please?"
"Mmmm... When he saved me, he was like a light in the darkness, like the moon in the night, so... Maybe Shin-Ah? It means moonlight."
"Yes! Shin-Ah is perfect!"
~ 💙 ~
Since I can't sleep, I decided to get up for a walk.
I walk for a while, until I reach a lake, but someone else is already there: Shin-Ah.
"Shin-Ah, can't you sleep?" He shakes his head.
"I had a few thoughts in my mind." He said.
"About our journey?" He shakes his head again.
"About you."
"Me? S-sorry, did I do something that bothered you? Have I upset you in any way?" I asked, worried. If I had hurt him in any way, I would never forgive myself.
"No, about a strange feeling I have when I'm with you."
"Huh? Can you describe it?"
"When I'm with you, I'm very happy and I want to always be with you. I feel good if you're happy and bad if you're unhappy or hurt..." Every sentence he says, I blush more and more. Shin-Ah loves me? Is this a confession?
"S-shin-Ah, I-I think it's l-love."
"What is love?" My heart breaks: what did he have to go through before meeting us?
"Love is... Mmmm... How can I describe it? Mmmmmm... Ah! Love is the affection you feel for others: when you love someone, you want to be with them all the time, you want their happiness and, if they suffer, you suffer too. Is this how you feel about me?"
"Yes. So, I love you? How do you create love between people?"
"You can't physically create love between someone, but you can show love to someone. For example, with words, physical gestures, maybe kisses or hugs, or also watching over that person. If a person loves someone and that someone loves them back, then these two people get engaged and then get married. This is also a sort of demonstration of affection. If you want, we can start being fiances, and go step by step, so that you aren't overwhelmed." He nods.
"But I don't know how to show my love to you. What should I do?"
"Don't worry! We'll face everything together."
"Will you teach me?"
"Of course, we're engaged! So, together?"
"Together."
This is my first post, thank you, anonymous, for the request!

Hi, may I request for Hak x Reader please? Reader is the neglected princess and wife of Hak. Since they're travelling he's always with Yona and Yona also doesn't let them be together being so stupid. So they have a big argument also with Yona but the dragons and Yoon also try to stop them but the reader snaps. She announces to divorce him and leave. When they meet again she's with another person happily something like that
You weren't the right one
Manga/anime: Akatsuki no Yona
Warnings: angst, with a bitter-sweet ending
(Y/N): your name
(S/O): significant other (not Hak)
Is being envious a bad thing? Is it that bad to feel it? Is it so bad that I'm jealous of her? I know, I know I shouldn't be jealous, but I can't help it: Hak, my husband, loves Yona, my sister, and I feel terrible.
To be honest, I've always known this, yet I loved him so much I agreed to marry him when my father proposed it to me.
I still remember what I thought when he proposed marriage to me: maybe you won't be the right one, but I still want to be your wife, Hak.
Finally, I gave in to a selfish desire of mine: I hoped I would be able to make him fall in love with me, but I couldn't.
~ 💙 ~
Why, Hak? Why don't you look at me? Why do you console Yona and not me? The one who was killed was also my father, not just her.
"Hak?"
"Not now (Y/N). Yona-hime (princess Yona) is sleeping."
"Yes..." You shouldn't hug only her.
I'm not saying you shouldn't console her, but at least pretend you care a little about me. At least try to console me: hug me and say sweet words to me, like you did with Yona.
Please...
~ 💙 ~
Since we began our journey to find the Four Dragons, I've been trying to spend some time with Hak, but Yona wouldn't let me: she kept butting in every time we were alone! I sometimes feel like she does it on purpose, but Yona isn't that kind of person, especially after what happened to our father.
I've also noticed Hak is becoming a lot more protective, not only of Yona but of others as well. However, I wish he was so protective of me too, but instead everything remained as before.
However, I'm your wife, Hak! I'm not asking for maximum attention, but I would at least like you to go a little beyond the "good morning" when you wake up and the "good night" before going to sleep (by the way, not even with me). I mean, everyone we meet thinks your wife is Yona and not me! Even the Dragons thought so the first time we met.
Really: you aren't probably the right one...
~ 💙 ~
I can't take it anymore! Every day is harder and harder!
I'm dying of jealousy for Hak and Yona, and I feel terrible. I don't want to be jealous, but I'm not entirely wrong either: nothing has improved since the start of the trip.
Everything is like when we were at the castle...
~ 💙 ~
"Hello, Hak! How are you?"
"Fine." He didn't even look at me.
"Emmm... What are you doing today?" How stupid! I couldn't ask a stupider question: he's obviously looking at my sister!
"I'm looking at Yona-hime. Do you need something?"
"I-I would like to know if you would be willing to come with me to the market one day."
"Sorry, (Y/N)-hime (princess (Y/N)), I can't go out with you: I'm busy taking care of your sister." As always, after all.
Otou-sama (father), why can't I have a bodyguard too? Why does only Yona have it? Why don't you ever consider me?
Why doesn't anyone consider me?
~ 💙 ~
"I'm not clingy or demanding! I just want… I just want to know why it seems like I don't matter to you. I'm your wife!"
Hak and I are arguing. I didn't like feeling these kinds of emotions and I couldn't stand that situation anymore, so I told Hak about it, thinking it might be a good idea. Of course, I didn't expect him to become more affectionate with me, but I hoped he would at least understand me a little and tone down his attention on Yona.
"You are, but you aren't my first priority, and it's time you realized that and stopped getting in my way! I'm tired of you nagging me all the time! Stay away from me for a while and go away!"
What?
What he said?
I? Clingy to him?
"What did you say?"
"You've heard." His voice is chilling; he's really angry.
"Hak, nee-san (big sister), you two should calm down." I can't stand her anymore! Always getting in the way!
"Shut up! I'm really angry with you too!"
"Why? What have I done?" She really is so damn innocent and stupid! She doesn't understand anything!
"Do you even dare ask me? Are you stupid? Since we left, you've been complaining about wanting to get stronger, but what have you actually done? Have you ever managed to do anything? To save someone? Not to be protected? Do you know how much you annoyed me? I'm not like you: I had no one to protect me, even though I was the eldest daughter and heir to the throne. I had to defend myself, I had to learn to fight alone, I always did everything alone! Don't you dare come here, after you keep putting my husband in danger and fluttering your eyelashes at him, even though he's married to your sister!"
It all happens in an instant: a noise, and then a very strong pain in my right cheek.
Huh? What?
"Don't you ever dare talk to Yona-hime like that again!" Hak?
Was it you? Did you hit me on the cheek? Did you hit your wife to protect another woman? How...
"Hak?"
"Don't call me that anymore and don't be with us anymore. Go away."
"W-what?" How could you say that?
Tears stream down my face.
I feel terrible. My head hurts, I can't breathe, I feel dizzy...
I know, or rather I've always known, Hak cares more about Yona than me and he'll always protect her, despite everything.
I always knew, Hak, I always knew you aren't the right one for me...
"All right. If that is what you all want, I'll walk away. Hak, don't think of me as your wife anymore: you and I no longer exist. I hope you and Yona will be happy together. Goodbye."
~ 💙 ~
It's been a while since I've been away from my sister, Hak and the others, and I couldn't feel better: I found a man, (S/O), who really loves me, who I care about a lot. However, the story with Hak is still an open wound in my heart, even if my current boyfriend understands me and he never makes me worry about this; he's just a perfect boy!
Now, (S/O) and I are at the market buying everything we need to make our lunch. I'm at the fruit stand; he moved away from me because he had met one of his friends.
While I'm choosing fruit to buy, a familiar sound reaches my ears: Hak! Although my mind isn't even processing everything that is happening, my body is already reacting to his voice, so I look around almost desperately to find him: I start running in the direction from which I heard his voice, colliding with some people and risking tripping several times, until I reach him.
Here, right in front of me, there's the man I've loved almost my entire life. He's as beautiful as ever: his blue eyes, which I have always loved to look at, shine like the sea, and his smile is as warm as the embrace of a loved one. However, what makes me so sad is the fact his smile isn't directed at me: he's smiling at Yona, looking at her with so much affection, not at me. He didn't even notice me.
I don't need to see anything else. I don't want to see anything else. I turn and leave.
My mind is full of regret, pain and anger towards myself: why doesn't Hak look at me? What does Yona have that I don't? Why didn't the relationship between us work out? Why do I keep thinking about him? Why don't you get out of my head, Hak?
A few "what if" scenarios ran through my thoughts, although I know there's no point in thinking about them: he's probably engaged to her by now; I, on the other hand, am engaged to (S/O).
I shouldn't cry, I shouldn't do this, nevertheless, as I lean against the wall of an inn, my chest aching like never before, I can't stop the tears from flowing.
~ 💙 ~
"My love? Are you okay?"
"(S/O)?" I lift my head from my crouched position, looking at (S/O). He's crouched in front of me, looking at me worriedly.
Without thinking twice, I throw myself into his arms and hold him, crying into his chest. He returns the hug, immediately holding me tightly and cradling me gently against him, saying sweet words.
"What happened?"
"I... met... Hak..." I tell him, my voice breaking with sobs.
"Oh, my love... Shhhhh, don't worry: everything will be fine. Can I do something to make you feel better?"
"Can you keep hugging me a little longer, please?"
"Of course." (S/O), why are you so kind to me? Why are you close to me, even though you know I love you, but I still love Hak?
I feel like a traitor. I love (S/O), but I still love Hak too, and I don't understand if I really love him or if he's just a replacement for me. I can't understand my feelings, and I don't want to make him suffer...
"Why are you close to me?" My sudden question shocks him.
"How 'why'? Are you thinking about the situation with your ex husband?" How did he figure it out?
I nod, so he holds me even more gently and says: "Don't worry, I already told you. I love you so much, and, if you're confused about your feelings, I'll help you as much as I can, okay?" I nod again, hugging him tighter and pushing my head further into his chest.
What things which were so good have I done to deserve such a kind person next to me?
I may be so selfish, but, even if I still don't have my feelings clear, I want to be with (S/O); I want to feel as good as when I'm with him; I want to feel that beautiful feeling I feel when we're together forever.
"Thank you, (S/O). Can I ask you something else?"
"Yes." I gently pull away from our embrace and look into his eyes.
"Can we be together forever?" He looks at me with wide eyes and a blush that quickly colors all his cheeks; then, his eyes soften and a sweet smile spreads across his face.
"Of course we can. Come -(S/O) stands up and he takes my hand and helps me get up- let's go home."
Thank you, Hak. You weren't the right one for me, but thanks to what happened between us I'm happy now.

Can you do a scenario of the Four Dragons, Hak, Yoon and Soo-won (separated) sleeping with a fem reader?
For the Dragons and Hak, Yona got sick and Yoon is taking care of her, so reader can't sleep with them in the tent and chooses one of the dragons or Hak to sleep with.
For Yoon, reader was one of Yona's handmaids and escaped with her from the palace. During the journey she fell ill, so Yoon has to stay in the tent with her to take care of her, and Yona sleeps with Hak.
For Soo-won, reader is Hak's younger sister and Yona and Soo-won's childhood friend. Since King Il was killed (she doesn't know it was Soo-won) and Yona and Hak ran away, she has struggled to sleep due to worry and nightmares, but one night a nightmare scared and traumatized her so much she can't sleep anymore, so she decides to sleep with Soo-won.
Sorry if it's confusing, it's the first time I've asked this request.
Akatsuki no Yona ~Sleeping together 1st part~
Manga/anime: Akatsuki no Yona
Warnings: nothing
(Y/N): your name
As usual, I divided the scenario into two parts: 2nd part is here.
"Kija, can't you sleep?" (Y/N) sleepily asks the man next to her.
"N-no. I'm sorry ohime-sama (princess), I'm just worrying you." The girl turns to the Dragon and she finds him shaking and flushed.
"Is it because of me?" The princess asks worriedly, all her sleep seems to vanish.
"N-no!" Kija screams, maybe a little too loudly.
"It's just that -he continues- I-I've never slept with anyone before and-and... I feel a strange feeling in my heart."
"If I make you uncomfortable, then I'd rather sleep with someone else..." (Y/N) says sadly, worried about how the Dragon feels. However, she really wanted to be close to him.
The girl is about to get up, but Kija gently takes her hand and brings her back to lie next to him (keeping a distance, of course).
"N-no, stay here, ohime-sama. Y-your presence doesn't make me uncomfortable at all." It's clearly a lie, but the fact the man wants to be with her so much he doesn't sleep at night due to nervousness makes (Y/N) very happy and makes her feel the wonderful feeling of being appreciated and loved.
"Alright then." The princess approaches Kija slightly and takes his right hand (the dragon's hand).
"Thank you, Kija, -she leans over and kisses the Dragon on the cheek- and good night."
Meanwhile, our dear Hakuryuu (White Dragon) has fainted from nervousness.
"Your fur is so warm and soft, Shin-Ah!" (Y/N) comments happily to Shin-Ah, who gave her the fur stuck to his mask to keep her sleeping comfortably and warmly.
"But you should come a little closer. Aren't you cold?" The girl pulls the Dragon's arm slightly to ensure he's also covered by that improvised blanket. So, Shin-Ah gets a little closer and the princess notices he hasn't taken off his mask.
Typically, the boy always takes it off before going to sleep, so (Y/N) worries: she thinks he hasn't taken it off yet for fear of accidentally paralyzing her. This makes her happy, but also sad: she's so happy Shin-Ah cares about her well-being, but she's sad, because she knows this behavior is due to trauma.
"Shin-Ah, doesn't the mask bother you to sleep? Do you want to take it off?" The Dragon immediately shakes his head.
"Don't worry, I won't look you in the eyes." The girl closes her eyes. After a few seconds, she hears the boy move to take off his mask.
After making sure Shin-Ah has taken it off, the princess moves closer to him until they are both covered in the fur, taking his face in her hands and stroking it gently, making him blush.
"Good night, Shin-Ah." (Y/N) whispers, with her eyes still closed.
"Good night..."
"Jae-Ha! You're too close!" (Y/N) exclaims, annoyed Jae-Ha is so close to her.
"Hmmm? (Y/N)-chan, don't you want to sleep in a comfortable, warm position?"
The princess is curled up against the man, her arms resting against his chest and her head in the crook of his neck; the Dragon lies on his side with his long arms and legs wrapped around the girl.
"Yes but..."
"But?" Jae-Ha urges (Y/N).
"This position is so embarrassing!" The girl admits, pushing her face into the man's chest, to keep him from seeing her flushed face.
"I don't think you don't like it, you're holding me so tight. You're really cute and hot, dear."
"Jae-Ha!" The princess screams in embarrassment.
"Please -she adds- don't make fun of me."
How could she fall in love with him? How? (Y/N) is been asking herself this question since they met, but there are no answers to some questions...
"Whatever, (Y/N)-chan. Anyway, I wasn't teasing you."
"Jae-Ha..." The girl whispers, struck by Jae-Ha's words.
"You're really hot."
"JAE-HA!!!"
How the hell did she come up with the idea of sleeping with this pervert?
"Zeno..."
"Yes, missy?"
"You're holding me too tight!" (Y/N) complains against Zeno.
They're in a really nice position: the boy is lying on his back with his arms wrapped around the princess' waist; the girl has her head and hands on the Dragon's chest. There would be nothing wrong with this position, except that Zeno is, unknowingly, squeezing (Y/N) to death.
"It doesn't seem to Zeno that Zeno is holding the missy too tightly. Zeno must stay close to the missy, otherwise Zeno won't be able to protect her." The boy says innocently, making the girl blush violently.
"You're so cute, Zeno." The princess whispers, burying her face in the crook of the Dragon's neck.
"The missy is cute too!"
Zeno will truly be her death for his cuteness, (Y/N) thinks.
"But can I know why you're always so close to me? N-not that it bothers me or anything, I just want to know..."
"The missy reminds Zeno of his wife, so Zeno wants to be close to the missy and protect her. Zeno loves the missy!"
If (Y/N) was a little red before, now she's a perfect tomato.
"I love you too, Zeno. Thank you... for taking care of me."
"You're welcome missy!"

Akatsuki no Yona ~Sleeping together 2nd part~
1st part is here.
"Hak, I'm cold..."
It's a really cold and very breezy night and, although (Y/N) is wrapped in a blanket, she's still shivering from the cold.
"Ohime-sama (princess), you have the whole blanket wrapped around you, how are you still cold?"
"I don't know... I'm sorry Hak, Yona and I do nothing but cause you problems."
"(Y/N)-hime (princess (Y/N)), you never cause me problems, only your sister Yona does. I'm the one who apologizes to you: when you are cold, I should do everything to warm you, and it's what I'm going to do."
Hak hugs (Y/N) gently, bringing her body between his legs and holding her close. Her cheeks immediately heat up at our proximity.
"H-Hak? What are you doing?"
"I'm warming you up, (Y/N)-hime. Now tell me: why did you choose to sleep with me? Do you want something? -he takes a short break- Or maybe do you want to do something with me?" There it is, his true flirtatious and provocative character. He couldn't be sweet for once...
"Because I trust you a lot!"
(Y/N) can't see it because of the darkness, but Hak is smiling, slightly blushing. However, his blush quickly fades when he takes the princess' wrist and brings her face closer to his. Now she's the red one.
"You shouldn't say that, ohime-sama. It makes me want to do things to you..."
"Hak!"
A few moments pass and (Y/N) relaxes in his hold, hugging him tightly and snuggling into him.
"Hak..."
"Yes, ohime-sama?"
"Thank you."
~Cough, cough~
"(Y/N), does your throat hurt?" Yoon gets up from his bed worried.
"It doesn't hurt, ~cough~ I just have ~cough~ a lot of coughing."
"Here -the boy hands the girl a small bowl containing a clear liquid- it's a medicine to reduce coughing. In any case, if your throat doesn't hurt, it means you're recovering."
"This is ~cough~ all thanks to ~cough~ you ~cough~!"
"Baka! Just drink the medicine!" Yoon turned red and flustered.
So cute! (Y/N) can't help but think this.
Then, the boy moved his bed closer to her.
"I'll stay up for a while to check on you and give you medicine for tomorrow. Try to sleep."
"Thank you, Yoon, for everything you have done for me, Yona-hime (princess Yona) and Hak too."
"I-it was nothing."
Now Yoon is all embarrassed, how cute! (Y/N) continues to think.
The sick stares at the doctor for a few minutes without being noticed, then she closes her eyes, and, when she's about to fall asleep, Yoon lies down next to her and closes his eyes, his hand finding its way to hers.
"Weren't you supposed to give me medicine for tomorrow?"
"Sleep, baka!"
"NII-CHAN (big brother)! YONA!" (Y/N) quickly sits up in her bed, drenched in sweat from the nightmare she just had about her brother and Yona dying.
A few minutes after waking up, the girl hears footsteps and someone opens the door.
"Soo-Won..." (Y/N) whispers to the boy who entered her room. Soo-Won steps closer to her.
How could she not think about the noise she's made the last few nights? Her room is next to the king's, and Soo-Won probably heard her screams and cries every night. The girl scolds herself.
"Soo-Won!" (Y/N) screams, hugging the boy and crying into his chest.
The king doesn't ask questions, he just sits at the foot of her bed, carrying (Y/N) in his lap and holding her close to him. After a few minutes, her sobs turn into simple sniffles.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yes… Thank you, Soo-Won." The boy makes the girl sit down on the bed.
"You're welcome. Now, go back to sleep." Soo-Won is about to get up, when (Y/N) grabs the sleeve of his dress.
"W-wait, Soo-Won! Can I sleep with you tonight?" She's all red and embarrassed for asking.
Expecting rejection, the girl releases her grip on the boy's sleeve, but the king takes her hand and takes her to his room, making her lie down on his bed with him.
(Y/N) gets into a comfortable position and tries to calm her pounding heart, while Soo-won wraps her in his arms in a loving hug.
"Good night, (Y/N)."
"Good night, Soo-Won."
Sorry for my long absence, school is killing me. However, I hope you enjoyed it and I respected your request anyway.

Could you do the reaction of Kija, Shin-Ah, Jae-Ha and Zeno when the reader cups their cheeks (like that https://i.pinimg.com/originals/39/96/b6/3996b6fe50f88154c97956424d7f59e8.jpg)?
Thanks 💓
Akatsuki no Yona ~Cupping their cheeks~
Manga/anime: Akatsuki no Yona
Warnings: nothing
(Y/N): your name
Kija
He'll dead, you'll kill him: Kija.exe has stopped working; press a button to restart
His face and ears will be totally red and his eyes wide open, he'll be shaking madly, and he'll literally leap ten meters (you'll think he lied to you and he's actually the Ryokuryuu (Green Dragon)) and move away from your hands
In addition, his voice will go up an octave and he'll stutter a lot when he asks you what you wanted to do ("W-what's going on? D-do you need a-anything?")
You'll think he doesn't like it, but in reality he'll love it, and he'll let you know ("Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you." "N-no!" "Huh?" "Y-you didn't bother me: I really liked it! N-no, I mean... I meant I liked your hands! N-no, w-wait, that sounds like a maniac...")
The more time passes, the more he'll get used to your touch, although he'll still flinch if you cup his cheeks, but he'll always refuse to do it to you for fear of hurting you with his dragon hand
Shin-Ah
Confused
He'll tilt his head, still into your hands, and look at you with questioning eyes, covered by his mask, not being used to such a great display of affection
Your hands, partly under his mask, will make him relax and melt on them and, if you remove them after a short time, he'll gently grab your wrists and return them to their previous position
That will become one of his favorite forms of affection, although at first he won't understand you mean it romantically (you'll also have to stop him from doing it to Yona or the other Dragons), and he'll try to ask you to do it
Keyword: try, since he'll look at your face, then at your hands and then at your face again, and you'll have to ask him what he wants ("Love, do you need something?" "Your hands... on my cheeks...")
Jae-Ha
He'll be the most relaxed of the four, rather, instead of being embarrassed, he'll probably come out with words or actions that will embarrass you
In fact, he'll either say something like: "Oh? What's wrong, (Y/N)-chan? I didn't imagine you to be so bold as to try to kiss me", or he'll clasp your hands, still resting on his cheeks, between his and bring his face closer to yours as if to kiss you... and then not do it!
However, don't think your gesture won't make him feel anything, because it's obvious he'll relax thanks to your action
He'll also prevent you from moving away from him by wrapping his arms around your waist and keeping you close to him!
Furthermore, he'll blush slightly (but he'll hide the blush and never admit it) if, after holding his cheeks for a few minutes and making him relax, you give him a short and delicate kiss on the lips
Zeno
This sweet boy will open his eyes wide for a few seconds, and there's a great possibility he'll be moved, since he won't have received such a sweet touch from someone for many decades until that moment
He'll immediately recover from the tears, though, and rest his face on your hands, and then he'll make a very romantic gesture: he'll bring your face closer to his, cupping your cheeks, until you two rest your foreheads on each other
His eyes will stare into yours for a few moments, as if asking for approval, and then he'll kiss you
"Do you need anything, missy?" "I just wanted to try something new... Did you like it?" "Zeno loved it: it made his heart beat fast fast!"
From then on, he'll cup your cheeks whenever he can (or rather, every time he wants a little affection, because he could do it even in some inappropriate moments, like in the middle of a fight with bandits, then taking a huge scolding from both you, Yona and the other Dragons), hoping you'll do the same to him and maybe even kiss him
💮 Rules 💮 Masterlist 💮
Hello, can you please make sfw alphabet for Hak from Akatsuki no Yona? Thank you in advance!
Akatsuki no Yona ~SFW alphabet~
Manga/anime: Akatsuki no Yona
Warnings: nothing
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
If you two are in public, he's basically not affectionate at all: the most affection you get from him is an arm around your waist. If you're alone, instead, he becomes much more affectionate: hugs, cuddles, sweet words... His main way of showing affection is physical gestures, and his favorite physical gesture is hugging you.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Probably, your friendship would have started through Yona, who had introduced you to him; that's why I think at first he's considered you a bit annoying like her. However, he soon changed his mind, and so you two became best friends. As your best friend, he would be very provocative (really, he would always make fun of you, especially if you did something that had embarrassed you), but also extremely protective and sweet if he knew something bad had happened to you.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
He really likes to cuddle you, that's his way of making you feel close to him; you two don't have much time for cuddles anyhow: in fact, those only happen for a few minutes and not even every day. Typically, you two cuddle while lying down, and he's almost always the big spoon, as he wraps his arms around your waist and his legs are intertwined with yours.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
I think he wants to settle down one day, but only after helping Yona to create a prosperous kingdom for you two (and maybe also for your children!) to live in. He's definitely capable of providing for you two: he knows how to cook, find supplies (hunting and fishing), he would even be able to build a small wooden house... However, I don't know how good he can be at cleaning (we also have to remember the period in which the manga/anime is set and Hak's social class)!
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Quick and frank. If he were to break up with you, he wouldn't mince words, but he would be very clear in letting you know he no longer loves you; in addition, his tone would be very moderate and he would apologize to you for the pain he's causing you.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
I think he plans to marry his partner if he's committed to a relationship, so he gives you all the time, love and affection he can. And, speaking of marriage, he would like to get married to you soon since he realized you're the one, but he first wants to help Yona to revive the kingdom; in fact, after having done that, he'll immediately propose to you.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Despite the many battles he fought, the many chaos and blood he saw, he's very gentle: his touches are delicate and soothing and he's never rough with you, both physically and psychologically. Furthermore, he always tries to moderate his words when he's with you for fear of hurting you emotionally, and he reassures you whenever you feel sad.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Hugs are his way of both showing affection and feeling like you're safe and sound in his arms, so he loves hugging you. His hugs feel like he's protecting you from all harm: they're tight, but also soft and sweet, and make you feel like you're wrapped in a blanket. He hugs you every time you or he feels the need, which happens very often, at least on his part: are you going to sleep? Hug. Are you feeling sad about something? Hug. You risked your life, but did you save yourself at the last minute? Funny of you not to assume he'll hold you for at least five minutes.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
He takes forever to tell you he loves you! First he wants to make sure he truly loves you, since he doesn't want to delude you, and you love him back too: indeed, he won't say it until you do first... Furthermore, his confession will be short, but still very sweet, and in private (even if Yona and the Dragons may be behind trees and bushes spying).
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)
He doesn't get too much jealous, since he knows you're more than capable of fending off any unwanted suitors. Furthermore, he put a lot of trust into you. Despite that, though, he isn't above the occasional side eye, or the arm around your waist and the harsh tone if someone is getting a little too buddy buddy.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
In public, he almost never kisses you and, if he does it, his kiss is so light on your lips and quick sometimes you might not even notice it. In private, his kisses are slightly more feral, but on only one occasion they're truly passionate, that's if you're in a situation where you risked dying: the anxiety of having almost lost you is reflected in the kisses, which is like it's the end of the world.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
He's well liked by the children he grew up with and considered a big brother to many, so I can assume he's pretty good with them. However, in my opinion he prefers to be with slightly older children, like four or five years old and up, so he can do many more activities with them, such as simply teaching them to fight.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Mornings spent with him are pretty rare: most of the time you two don't really get to sleep in or even spend mornings together, after all you're very busy saving the kingdom and not getting captured by the guards. If it happens you two have the morning free, he'll make the most of it: he'll stay in bed (or rather, in the subspecies of sleeping bag you create with your cloaks) for a while to hug you, and then you'll spend the whole morning together, walking through the woods and looking for twigs to light the fire or berries for breakfast.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Nights with him alone are also almost impossible as either you keep moving, or you camp, but you've guard shifts, or stop at an inn to rest but you all stay in a group. If the first possibility happens, you walk together, talking about various topics and holding your hands; if the second happens, you take your guard shift together and cuddle; if the third happens, you sleep close.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
I think his openness about his past with you depends on what he tells you: he told you quite early on about his childhood with his grandfather and friends from the Wind Tribe, but he'll take a really long time to tell you about his relationship with Yona and Soo-Won, because he wants to wait to understand if you're the one he wants to spend the rest of his days with. Once he understands that, he'll gladly tell you about his past in full.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
He's one of the most patient people: it really takes a lot to make him angry and, if that happens, you don't notice it, because the most he does is tighten his tone and speak a little more sarcastically than usual. The main ways to make him angry are to insult or hurt you or Yona.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
He's the king of remembering details you mention in passing: you may have told him just once and even in passing you like a certain thing, and years later he'll bring it up in a conversation ("Oh, by the way, do you know I saw bouquets of white camellias while I was walking in Awa? I got you one, since you told me you like them so much." "Did I tell you?" "Two and a half years ago, when your father gave you them for your birthday.").
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
His favorite memory is when you two had laid under the stars and talked about the future and living your life in the future; hearing you so passionate and optimistic, hearing your desires to live the rest of your life, get married and start a family with him gave him hope things would be okay.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Despite knowing and trusting you can defend yourself, he's still super protective of you, one of the few people he cares about in the world, and he would give everything to see you safe and protected: it's like having a bodyguard as a boyfriend. Literally. As for keeping him protected, I think the best way to do that is to remind him not to overdo himself, since he has the bad habit of overstepping his boundaries to protect both Yona and you (and the other Dragons and Yoon too).
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
On the outside, his dates are very simple (they generally consist of you two either walking together through the forests where you camp or taking turns on guard shift together), but he puts so much effort into so may aspects of those anything bigger would lose the personal touch they've; his gifts also appear very simple, but in reality they've great sentimental value, for instance a bouquet of the same flowers he gave you on the day of your meeting.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
His main bad habits are two: the first is his tendency to overwork himself without saying anything to anyone, and that makes you worry a lot; the second is being very attached and protective towards Yona, almost as much as he's towards you (of course, you know he loves you, but sometimes you've doubts...). With time, though, he grows out of the situations and realizes it isn't selfish to want the best for himself, and he also understands he must make you more aware you're the one he loves.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
I would like to write he doesn't care at all, but I think that's not true: he's concerned with his appearance, not that much, but enough to make himself decently presentable. He doesn't do it out of vanity, though, but just because he wants to be on your level (he always thinks you're truly beautiful, even in the morning with messy hair or with dark circles under your eyes after sleepless nights).
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
It depends: he feels he needs his space, so he wouldn't feel incomplete without you if you two are apart for a short time; nevertheless, if he has to spend a long time without you, he misses you so much and is likely to desperately seek your presence.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them)
I'm pretty sure he taught you some self-defense moves: as much as he doesn't want you to go to the front lines to fight, he wishes you to know how to defend yourself at least a little, also because he knows there might be moments when he can't protect you. If one day you knock someone out with one of the moves he taught you, he'll look at you with a proud and smug face.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)
If there's one trait he doesn't want in his partner, it's malice: he would never forgive you if you treated others badly or did some evil action. Regarding other physical or character traits, he doesn't have great demands, although perhaps he wouldn't love a too weak partner, since he wants you to be at least a little able to protect yourself.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
As I wrote previously, you can't sleep for a long time but, for what little you can, he prefers doing it with you. Generally, he sleeps on his side while one arm wraps around your waist to keep you close to him and the other acts as a pillow; instead, your legs are intertwined.
