"Papa, I want you to meet someone.." Beomgyu says, peaking his head through the throne room's entryway.

Beomgyu's dad looked up from the newspaper he was reading, giving full attention towards his youngest son.

Beomgyu then entered the room, Taehyun following after him. They both had a nervous smile on their faces.

"Ah, good morning you two!" Beomgyu's dad greets happily. Must be in a good mood today. "What's your name, boy?" Beomgyu's dad called out, looking towards Taehyun.

"My name is Taehyun! Is it ok if I stay here for a while?" Taehyun asked. The king chuckles at his sparkling doe eyes that were practically begging to stay at the castle.

"Sure, but I will need to do a body search on you. Guards." Soon, guards showed up and searched Taehyun's pockets, making him uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Beomgyu tried to get them to stop bothering him.

In the end, the guards found nothing.

"Papa.. that was so unnecessary.." Beomgyu started. "He's wearing my clothes! Can't you recognize what I wear?" He states.

"Oh, I didn't realize that." Beomgyu's dad chuckles as he shooed away his guards away from the poor boy who were still trying to see if they missed anything. "Anyways, do you two boys want any breakfast? The cooks are making strawberry pancakes today."

"Oo! Pancakes! Can we?" Taehyun asked, looking Beomgyu's way. Beomgyu chuckles and nods, loving this side of Taehyun.

"Oh, there's also your favorite, Gyu. Nilla Wafers." Hearing that, Beomgyu's eyes sparkled.

"Mm okie, Tae and I will be going now. Bye papa!" Beomgyu grabbed Taehyun's hand and marched away from the throne room.

The king chuckles at his son. He just loves those Nilla Wafers so much, and the boy. He can tell. Once you get older, you can pretty much see about anything. (Lies)

Through the halls, Beomgyu finds a piece of paper on the ground. He stared at it for a bit before speaking.

"Uh, what's this?" He questions before picking it up. Staring at the paper, his expression turned blank, a somewhat look of despair also in the latter's eyes.

"What is it, Beom?" Taehyun asked, curiosity building up. Why was his Hyung just staring blankly at the paper?

He didn't say anything. Taehyun was beyond confused now. He grabbed the paper. On the paper was a picture of a women, tied up with ropes and gagged with a cloth. Not only that, but there was a boy beside her. Soobin. This made him worry for Beomgyu's only brother.

Beomgyu then made a u-turn back to the throne room. He ran up to his father with no emotion and handed the paper to him. Once his father saw it, he was outraged.

"Guards! Search every premise of this place! Find the queen! Find my eldest son!" He shouts.

Taehyun's eyes widened. The queen, Beomgyu's mother. She was the women in the picture. He was worried for her. He was worried for Soobin. Now, he was worried for his friend beside him.

Taehyun side-glanced Beomgyu, seeing him not holding a single expression. But, underneath that blank stare, was a look of worry and grief for the boy's family members.

"Beomgyu Hyung.. are you ok?" Taehyun questions, the said boy only nods.

(Taehyun finally acknowledged him as Hyung)

Then, he see's a tear slip down the prince's cheek. He still held that blank stare.

He sniffles. Taehyun grew more worried of the other. Now thinking about it, how did they get Soobin so quickly? He was just here in the morning. An idea came to mind.

"How about this, Hyung. Let's go find your mom and bro!" Taehyun starts, brightening up the mood. Beomgyu looks at him with a shock. "We can be detectives together!"

"Detectives? How? We aren't even detectives." Beomgyu questioned, raising a brow.

"What? Don't you believe me? Oh my dear, Beomie Hyung, Taehyunie's already got the skills of a detective." Taehyun reassures while pointing at his head repeatedly, grinning widely.

Beomgyu looks at him suspiciously. "Are you sure?" He questions. Taehyun held his chin as if he was thinking.

"Lemme rephrase this. Beomgyu, will you be the Watson to my Sherlock?"

"..you watched that too?" Taehyun nods. "Hmm.. alright, let's do this. But you're gonna end up doing all the work, Detective Tyun." He says, smiling a bright smile.

Taehyun smiles at the nickname Beomgyu gave him. 'Detective Tyun, that actually sounds nice.' He thought. "That's fine."

"Well then, Detective Tyun needs an assistant, right, Gyu?" Beomgyu's dad says out of nowhere.

"Papa! Uh.. I don't have a name for myself though..." Beomgyu whines, a pout on his face.

"You can be Assistant Gyu." Taehyun shrugged.

"Ok! I'll go with that name because you picked it!" Beomgyu gleamed at the other, praising him for the name.

Taehyun shyly smiled and looked away. "Yeah, ok. Let's just go already.."

"Have fun finding them, Sherlock and Watson." Beomgyu's dad chuckles, waving as they start their way down the hall to the doorway.

"Wait!" A voice that they could all recognize right away yells. Yeonjun enters the throne room with a note in his hand, panting as he stops to take a few breaths from running.

"What is it, Yeonjun? Did you find something?" Beomgyu's dad asked, walking towards him. Yeonjun nods and hands the note to him, too tired to speak.

Reading the note, the king smiles. He then laughs as if he were some maniac. Everyone's back shivers from this sudden action. The king then stops his laughter.

"Ah, a clue. Good job, my boy." He says, giving Yeonjun a pat on the back. Yeonjun chuckles awkwardly.

"What is it?" Taehyun asks, trying to see what was on the piece of paper.

"Mm, aha. A location and a ton of money they want in return for the two-"

"Wait, what? How much?!" Taehyun shrieked. The king looked over to Yeonjun.

Yeonjun sighs. "Twenty Billion."

"And you're smiling- er, laughing about this?!"

The room went silent. Now, it was Beomgyu's turn to speak.

"Let's go, but.." Everyone eyed him, making sure he won't say anything stupid. Well, except Taehyun who doesn't know how stupid the latter is.

"We don't give them any money?"
