Junhee plops on the soft mattress next to Emilia and pulls her into his arms for a cuddle. She giggles and relaxed into his warmth, a grin forming on her lips after Jun sweetly kisses her forehead.

"I missed you." She says and looks up at him.

He smiles, "I know. I'm sorry for keeping you here."

Her smile immediately turns into an unpleased frown, "You should be. I came here to help you. Why do you keep my room locked?!"

Jun pouts, "I know, I know, I'm sorry. I'm just protecting you. Wonderland isn't ready to have you just yet. Our guests are hazardous. They mustn't see you."

"Who are they? If they're dangerous why are they here?"

The goblin prince shushes her and kisses her nose, "you're always so curious!~ I can't tell you. Just please trust me."

Emilia sighs, "Jun, I love you, okay? I want to trust you. You make it so hard when you keep 50 million things from me. I thought we would be in this together. I want to help. I'm capable of doing so."

Junhee frowns, searching her sorrowful eyes. He wishes he could tell her but ATEEZ were after her. She's the whole reason they were here. They were going to take her from him. His plans would be thwarted. There's no way Emilia could save herself from this situation.

He plans on throwing them a feast and poisoning them, then, personally going after that pirate prince, San. He wasn't going to let a band of pirates come between him and his love.

"I'm sorry, my love. I will explain everything to you when they are gone. Please just trust me." He gently begs.

Emilia looks into his soft eyes and sighs. She puts her hand on his cheek and rubs it gently with her thumb.

"Okay. I trust you."

He smiles and pecks her soft lips.

"Thank you."

"But understand me, Park Junhee. If you keep me locked here for more than a week and you don't explain anything to me, we're done and I will go back home. Understand?" She tells him sternly.

He gives her a small salute, "yes ma'am."

"Good. Now kiss me, you stubborn boy."

He chuckles and joins his lips to hers again, this time giving her full kisses. Emilia smiles in the kisses, humming in satisfaction as Junhee uses his tongue.

They lightly pull from the kiss and Junhee chuckles giddily. He rolls her on her back and gets on top of her. She laughs at his excited expression as he starts to unbutton his shirt.

"You're a dork." She says with a giggle.

Jun finishes undoing his shirt, revealing his toned chest and he leans in to kiss her lips once.

"You might call me something else when I'm done with you." He tells her with a smirk making her laugh again. Jun leans in to kiss her.

"Y'all are nasty."

They stop and turn to the doorframe to see Byeongkwan leaning against the door frame shaking his head disappointedly.

Jun gets off of Emilia and clears his throat awkwardly while buttoning up his shirt again.

"What do you want, Byeongkwan?"

"They're ready for you."

"I'll be there in a minute. Thanks."

Byeongkwan chuckles and closes the door leaving them alone again.

"I'm sorry, I have to go again. I'll check on you when I get the chance." Junhee tells Emilia as he adjusts the ruffles on his shirt.

Emilia sits up in the bed, "it's okay. Just be safe."

He smiles and kisses her cheek, "I will. You too. If you need anything, ask for Donghun, he'll be with me but his power deals with sound so he'll hear you."

"Okay."

Jun heads for the door and gives her a small wave goodbye before closing the door, locking it behind himself.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The ATEEZ crew sit at a long table across from the goblins. Different foods freshly cooked are laid out across the white tableclothed table, along with a goblet with wine in front of everyone.

Everyone sits patiently, waiting for Prince Junhee.

"So! Did you like our traps?" Chan asks everyone.

Mingi scoffs, "You emotionally scarred me but I did learn about myself though."

"We just want you goblins to know that we aren't here to feast. We're here for Princess Emilia. We know you have her." Iridessa threatens with a glare.

"Emilia? Who is that? We have her?" Byeongkwan jokes pretending to act dumb making the goblins laugh.

Jongho slams his fist down on the table, "Hey!! You think you guys are funny?! If I can break fruit imagine what I could do to break you."

"You could barely break out of our traps what more an immortal body?" Donghun sasses, arms crossed with a smirk.

Jongho stands up and grabs a baguette for a weapon, "Say that one more time! I dare you!!"

Yells and shouts fill the dining room between the goblins and the pirates as arguments abrupt.

They all stop when Prince Junhee arrives and stands in front of his chair at the center end of the table.

"Woah! Woah! Woah!! Everyone!! Let's not fight! Boys, cool it! They are our guests. And we are their hosts. Let's give them some more respect."

The goblins adjust themselves in their chairs and give him a nod.

Junhee turns to the pirate crew with a welcoming smile, "I'm sure you all have many questions. I'll answer anything as we feast!"

Hongjoong stands up with an unpleased expression on his face, "before we do any feasting, answer my one question. I'm missing two crew members. Where is San and Melody?"

Jun just smiles at him, "They'll be a bit late, Captain. In the meantime, everyone grab your goblets, and let's have a toast!"

He grabs his and lifts his cup, "To our guests! To the friendship between goblins and humans! And, to the start of a new kingdom."

"What do you mean by new kingdom?" Seonghwa asks him.

Junhee puts his cup down, "I did say I'd answer questions after. But!~ that one I'll answer now. Wonderland is soon to be officially my kingdom. I want it to be a place where the misfits, outcasts, mythical, human, immortal, mortal, royals, pirates, people of all kinds can live. You see? Where we come from, my father, the king, only cared about destroying kingdoms and making them his own."

"He was gonna use Jun when he became king and we don't have any freedom at all. Goblins are supposed to be selfish and greedy but we're better than that. We don't fit in our society." Byeongkwan joins in and explains.

"Precisely. That's why, behind his back, I'm growing Wonderland. Once I sit at that throne as king with Emilia as my queen by my side, the first thing we'll do is take down my father's kingdom. Once destroyed we can rule happily without any more worries or distractions."

Sehyoon, Chan, Byeongkwan, and Donghun all looked at each other with uneasiness in their eyes. They support Jun in everything as he always supported them. However, they aren't too on board with the whole "destroying Suncheon" plan. They aren't even fully on board with poisoning the pirates. They have kindness in themselves deep down.

But, they also understand why Jun was thinking and acting the way he was. If their own fathers forced them to do something they didn't want to do but they had no choice, they'd turn vile too.

"So, how about that toast?" Junhee asks with a dark grin, raising up his cup.
