"are you okay, mister?" 

prince seokmim had to ask the older that specific question not because joshua looked kinda pale, was silent, eyes looked so enervated and kept massaging his temple since he knew that it was because of the hangover from the liquors he drank last night.. but because of how joshua couldn't keep his eyes, his gazes off of him and it was making him uncomfortable. he was wondering if his face has some dirt or something to the point that he even asked lady yoo and his bodyguard about what he looked like and also he checked himself through the mirror to find answers and reasons why joshua was staring at him for quite long now... 

yes, quite long because ever since they went out to fulfill the said schedules for their wedding preparations, joshua's eyes and gazes never left him though sometimes joshua would looked away but he would get those back after some minutes. he doesn't know why.. he doesn't know why the older kept staring at him that's why he asked.. hoping that joshua might answer so he could be aware of whats happening or why does he couldn't take off his gazes to him. 

joshua shook his head. "yes, im fine your highness."

that doesn't satisfied seokmin. "then why.. why are you staring at me? did i do something wrong, mister? or if something was off on my face?" he was so desperate.. he do really wanted to know because he could really feel how he would literally melt now if joshua continued that staring agenda of him. 

the alpha clicked his tongue. "there's nothing wrong in your face..." then again, the prince saw how joshua stared at him making his lips left ajar. "but please stop smiling even in a smallest things."

seokmin blinked thrice. "why?" 

joshua heave a sighed as he stood properly from leaning against the car. "because your smile... your smile kept giving me a hard time, your highness. please im begging."

the prince didnt know why he stood froze on his spot as his eyes remained on joshua whose staring at him too, lips still left ajar as he tried to process and understand what joshua was saying inside his head.. and once it had sank in already, seokmin doesn't why but he felt a quite pang inside his chest prolly because it was the first time, joshua was the first person who ever told him not to smile nor his smile was the reason why he was having a hard time. 

for his entire life, the king, the princess, his closest friends, his eunuch, his bodyguards and all of the people he had met and has surrounded with, they kept telling him not to lose his smile because it can give happiness to others. and soonyoung told him that his asset was his smile.. that smile that can be a ray of sunshine to kept others warm and bright. plus people loved his smile, even the kings guests and others loved his smile so much... so hearing those words coming from joshua made him dumbfounded as was plussed by it. and he also felt like by the way joshua said it, that it is his fault for having that kind of smile and for smiling time to time.
