The young prince's furious eyes met the pastel washed colored palace as he walked beside the huge black gates that kept outside any unknown entry to the palace. He heard some voices, following the trail of the gate, which led him to quickly hide behind a nearby bush. Guards were roaming the gates at night, with their shiny silver swords in hand.

Hyunjin rapidly ran through the gates, as the guards walked in another direction, making him safely pass it. He ran towards a secret passage, in which only the boy knew. That spot was behind the castle, a small window that would let him right in.

However, as soon as he was getting closer to it, he felt a hand roughly being pressed to his mouth, making him panic. The prince tried to scream under the stranger's hand but it was quite impossible, whoever hand was that, it closed his mouth with a tight grip.

"Shh, it's me, Felix."

A voice, he felt extremely relieved hearing, whispered right beside his ear. Felix's hand slowly moved from the boy's mouth and he quickly turned, facing the freckled boy and behind him were Jisung and Jeongin.

"Why did you come alone, Hyunjin?" Jisung asked him in a worried tone, stepping closer, revealing his reddish and puffy eyes.

The prince gulped and lowered his eyes towards the ground. He couldn't stand watching his friend get hurt, that's why he came alone in this mission, he was scared that someone else he cared about, would get hurt.

"I'm sorry." The squirrel like boy gently smiled and placed one hand on the younger's shoulder.

"Did you find him?"

Hyunjin quickly circulated his eyes to meet the rusty voice that spoke, in front of him was the leader with Changbin and Seungmin beside him.

He could tell that they weren't very happy to see him.

"Let's go." Chan ordered, walking towards the window and in the process roughly bumping into Hyunjin, making him gasp.

They all silently entered the patio of the palace, where once was a beautiful garden full of white roses surrounding a fountain, that fortunately was still there.

"Do you have Minho's shirt, Jisung?"

"Yes." The boy said, grabbing a shirt from a bag he was carrying, closing his eyes and began to sniff it.

Hyunjin looked at him and furrowed, confused on what he was doing and was about to question it, however he was stopped by Jisung's eyes turning to a bright blue color, glacing the corridor in front of them.

"There." As he muttered those words, Jisung began to walk down that path, making everyone follow him.

The prince followed them too, but much slowly, still processing what just happened.
