It was bedtime for the princes. Seokmin walked through the hallways wearing his pajamas towards their huge shared bedroom. They had an eventful day. He couldn't wait to go to bed as he was so tired.

As he entered the room, all he saw was chaos. Just the usual.

Their room was big and round shaped, and their beds with their colorful bedsheets were organized all around the room, so they were all facing towards the middle where there was a big space for them to dance or play around. They also had their own chests and drawers next to their beds for all their stuff. The room had a balcony too on the opposite side from the door.

Their beds were organized by their ages, starting with Cheol's one the left and ending with Chan's on the opposite side. They also all had baldachins above their beds that matched with their bedsheets.

Jeonghan was reading a bedtime story for Channie and Hansol in Jeonghan's bed, the two already fast asleep in their big brother's lap, but Jeonghan seemed to be too immersed in the fairy tale he was reading to realize that.

Mingyu and Minghao were cartwheeling through the room, making a race out of this too. Seokmin felt dizzy just by witnessing that.

Wonwoo kicked their tennis rackets under his bed, then jumped on top of his twin brother, Soonyoung, who groaned at that.

Seokmin giggled as he took off his dance shoes. He picked them up and looked at them sighing, then opened the drawer at the end of his bed to put the shoes in.

'Seok, why are you sighing at the shoes?' wiggled his eyebrows his oldest brother. Seokmin turned to Seungcheol. Then suddenly Jihoon's head appeared from behind Cheol's shoulder.

'Because he has a crush on the cobbler boy' he chirped in. Seokmin blushed and turned away, making Seungcheol, Jihoon, Wonwoo and Soonyoung 'ooooh' loudly.

'You can't blame him, he is hot' arrived Jun, sitting down on Seokmin's bed.

'Facts' added Soonyoung.

'If you guys say so' shrugged Seokmin, trying to play it cool and hide his blush from his know-it-all older brothers.

'Maybe your problem is that he is not a prince' said Wonwoo throwing and catching a tennis ball while still laying on Soonyoung's bed.

'I don't care whether he is a prince or not' mumbled Seokmin. 'It's just...'

'... he's wrapped you around his finger' finished Jihoon with wide eyes, then he scribbled something in his notebook again.

'Don't you dare to write a song about my miserable love life' whined Seokmin. It made Jihoon chuckle while he was still writing, his blonde hair covering his eyes in the process.

'So you admit that you like him' he said.

'No! I mean... he doesn't even like me back... well, how would I know, I mean it's not like I'm crushing on him or something...'

'Listening to this conversation hurts physically' groaned Wonwoo and stood up from Soonyoung's bed, going over to his, mumbling something about human mating rituals.

'Seokminnie is head over heels in love' cooed Seungcheol.

'Seokmin hyung has a boyfriend??' arrived Mingyu and Minghao. The two 13 year-olds were out of breath after their cartwheeling competition.

'No! I don't! Gosh, stop it you all!' Seokmin hid his face in his palms and walked away, followed by his brothers giggling.

'You know we love you, Seokie!' shouted Soonyoung after him chuckling. Seokmin smiled at that. Then he went up to Jeonghan who just finished reading the bedtime story and realized that it was only him enjoying it again.

'These stories are so exciting, I don't get why they fall asleep always on the first page' he whined. Seokmin chuckled and took Hansol gently from Jeonghan's lap while Jeonghan carried Chan to his own bed, the youngest hugging his teddy bear like his life depended on it.

'Did the princess save the kingdom?' mumbled Hansol half asleep. Seokmin smiled at him.

'Don't worry, she did' he said, knowing the end of the bedtime story really well. He put down Hansol on his bed and pressed a kiss on his forehead. Jeonghan did the same with Channie, putting the blanket on him and his teddy bear.

'This is done' Jeonghan looked around. 'Where's Kwannie? He should go to bed too.'

Just then the tiny blonde boy ran across the room wearing his bunny slippers with something in his hand again. He went up to his bed. The others were getting ready for sleep too, except for Jihoon, who turned on his night light with papers scattered all over his bed. Seokmin already suspected that the older will be up for half of the night again.

'I hope you don't want to sleep with your bug, Kwannie' warned Jeonghan suspiciously. Seungkwan scoffed.

'I won't, he has a bed' he said as if it was obvious. He went to the drawer at the end of his bed which had several boxes on top of it with transparent lids and holes for oxygen. He opened one and put his blue bug inside.

'Goodnight, Mr Blue' he said and closed the lid. He opened them up one by one, saying goodnight to each of his pets. 'Mr Light' he greeted his firefly. Then he stopped at the last box and gasped. 'Oh no! Where's Mr Spring?'

'Aaah, what is he, a spider?' gasped Wonwoo, sitting up in his bed.

'A scorpion?' added Jun.

'A snake??' screeched Soonyoung. This made everyone scream as they pulled their feet from the ground, looking around for Seungkwan's... whatever that pet of his was. Kwannie laughed as he spotted something under the blanket.

'No! He is a green caterpillar!' he smiled as he held up Mr Spring on his palm proudly. The others let out a relieved sigh.

Seokmin looked back. Luckily Chan and Hansol were knocked out and didn't wake up to the screaming. He sighed and went to his bed. His cat was already there.

'Sweet dreams, Binnie' he whispered as he got under the covers and closed his eyes.
