HakYona

HakYona is the het ship between Hak and Yona from the Akatsuki no Yona fandom.

Canon
Hak and Yona have been friends since childhood, along with Su-won. At some point during this time, Hak developed a crush on Yona, but he noticed that Yona had feelings for Su-won. Wanting her happiness, Hak resigned himself to one day serving her with Su-won king beside her.

However, throughout the years, Hak's fortitude is tested many times. Once, when the fire tribe was visiting the palace, Tae-jun pursued the princess. Hak found this amusing, much to Yona's dismay. When she is cornered by Tae-jun, Hak steps in to help her, saying that they are already promised to each other. In an attempt to reinforce this claim, Yona says she truly loves Hak, which causes him to blush.

Later on, Hak would pledge himself as Yona's personal bodyguard.

One night, the friendship between Hak, Yona, and Su-won shatters when Su-won murders Yona's father, King Il. Yona witnesses this event, and runs for her life, but turncoat guards and others chase after her. Just as she is about to be killed, Hak blocks their attack with his guandao. Enraged, Hak turns toward Su-won, but before he can attack, his attention is pulled to Yona, who asks if he is on her side. Hak reaffirms his loyalty and flees the castle with her. However, the shock of this event causes her to mentally shut down. In one instance, when she is bathing in a pool of water, Hak has to pull her out and pull leeches off her skin.

While on the run, Hak and Yona are confronted by Tae-jun and his men. Apparently, he believed that Hak was the traitor and had kidnapped the princess. Hak fights to protect Yona, but in the process, he is fatally wounded. He and Yona tumble off a cliff, and he shields her with his body. Luckily, they are rescued by Yoon, who nurses them back to health.
