"yow guys the meeting has been adjourned early, any plans?"

sungjae nods his head in agreement. "any plan recommendations? its still early guys, lets hangout!" after he said it, he jerked his head to where joshua was whose busy tidying up his things. sungjae went closer to joshua then he placed his hand over to the other alpha's shoulder. "joshua knows a lot of place where we could hangout, right josh?"

joshua chuckled before he removed sungjae's hand over to his shoulder. "i cant join you guys, i need to go home already."

taehyung, their other work mate scoffed. "go home?... you mean with the prince?" joshua didnt bother to answer as he continued placing his things he used back to his bag so he could go home already. "i thought he gave you freedom that you can still date and have your ruts with other omegas?"

"yeah he did..." then joshua smiled at them. "but i choose not to anymore. he's my fiance, i dont want to feel like cheating."

both of them.. or i mean taehyung and sungjae was surprised by joshua's sudden words and how he refuse to go out with them which usually, joshua was the one who're inviting them to go out and find some hot random omegas out there. but tonight, at this moment, joshua choose to refuse as what he reasoned out wasnt the one his work mates was expecting. joshua informed them that the prince gave him freedom to do whatever he want, date and have sex whoever he wants since he did plenty of times behind seokmin's back.. and he swore to himself that the last time was the last as he felt like he was cheating to the prince.

and his motto ever since that day was, never again no matter how horny he was or no matter how hot the omega was wanting him.

"if we dont have any things to talk for, im sorry i have to go... i need to be with the prince now."

before sungjae and taehyung could even complain and argue, joshua didnt wait for their response as he went out of his office already leaving the two inside as he made his way down to the ground floor using the elevator. while he was waiting for the elevator to open, he tried messaging the prince and when he didnt received any replies after a minute, he tried to dial his number.. but just like what happened, it was only ringing until the line itself ended the call. he tried once again but the same as the previous one, the prince phone was just ringing making his brows furrowed as to why the prince arent picking up his calls.

he was still dialing seokmin's number, hoping that the younger might pick it up just for once but he was already on his way back to their house, seokmin still arent answering. he doesn't want to panicked so he cleanse his thoughts that maybe the prince was busy doing his dozens of school works as per what he told earlier, or maybe the prince was eating dinner and he left his phone on his room, or for worse case scenario, maybe the prince was sleeping already as it was almost midnight now. those are the words he tried to dominate his mind while he was on the way so he couldn't panicked and thought of the other way around why the prince wasn't picking up his calls.

it took him only twenty minutes to arrived back at their house as the guards was the one who insist to park his car properly as he was rushing to enter the house already to see the prince. no one greeted him at the salas like he used to before, and the whole ground floor of the mansion-like house was silent, some lights are off mostly to the one on the side. he didnt hesitate to went upstairs while he was removing his necktie then he stop in front of the prince's door as he tried to knocked and call out seokmins name, but then again, no one responded as he could only hear how the ari condition inside the prince room.

as long as he never wanted to invade the prince privacy, but he was left no choice but to fished out his spare key of the prince's room as he unlocked it in a very swift way. he slowly opened the door as he was greeted by the cold breeze coming from the huge aircon on the side, as his chest felt light and he heave a sighed in relief yet his brows furrowed after seeing the prince... seokmin was sleeping with his books, papers, color pencils, ballpens scattered around him, as his head was cutely squished at the edge of his bed while the rest of his body was on the floor. or i mean, seokmin was sitting on the floor and he made the side of his bed as his table.

joshua sat next to the prince as he didnt know why but he giggled seeing how the prince was cutely sleeping as he was even snoring a little loud. seokmin was holding a ballpen on his hand and he was currently writing something on the paper but couldn't do it as he fell asleep.

"my prince..." he was admiring the prince's sleeping figure, it was too late for him to realized that he was caressing the youngers expose cheek. "you're beautiful more than an angel could look like, love."

his eyes just parted from admiring the prince when he realized how many things seokmin was doing before he fell asleep. some of it was finished already like some written reflections that looked like a script which was attached at the book for law and psychological topics as some are drawings or more of a plates which is the reason why the color pencils and other coloring materials was scattered on the floor. there are still many the prince hasnt done doing so joshua decided to stood up to change his clothes but before he went to the prince's room, he went to ask the guard if they notice the prince taking his dinner.

when the guards told joshua that seokmin didnt went out of his room ever since he went out to go back to his firm which was almost six hours ago now... which means, maybe, the prince did not really took his dinner. joshua went back to the prince room whose was still sleeping and no matter how much he wanted to move the prince so he could get comfortable with his sleeping positions, but he was afraid the prince would wake up in a wrong timing, so he just grabbed the folded blanket that was on the prince bed them he removed the notebook and the ballpen the prince was holding before he covered that huge blanket over to the prince body.

"you are a stubborn cute little prince, i told you not to forget your dinner!" he half yelled like as if he was scolding the prince even though he knew seokmin wouldn't hear him. "next time i wont let this pass." then he tried to squeeze seokmin's cheeks but he controlled himself for he was afraid the younger might wake up.

he compiled all the scattered things on the floor before he started doing some of the prince activities mostly the art one which they were needed to make a poster regarding to that specific topics then some written reflections about arts. he was busy lining the middle part of the white paper provided when he noticed that the prince moved a little and when he jerked his head to see seokmin, he doesn't why but it made a pang inside his chest as a sweet smile crept into his face seeing how angelic and cute the younger looked like while he was sleeping now that all of his face was expose as mouth was ajar.

joshua groaned silently. "please stop making me feel this way, your highness."
