"you are already mated, right?"

it may sound rude and it may seen no manners but prince seokmin really couldn't help but to almost spit out the food he was eating from his mouth in front of his father as he cough afterwards upon hearing what does the king had asked after they've gone in a matter of seconds of silence, which joshua whose beside him, and even before the prince's eunuch could even move, he gave him the glass of water as he even caressed seokmin's back to ease the way the prince was coughing and to calm himself down.

after he cough and drink the glass of water joshua had given him, seokmin tried so hard to went back from the atmosphere that was set earlier before the king asked that specific question as he bowed his head to his father and said his sincere apologies as he was even, of course, tried to act like what his father had asked doesn't affect him and the king wont know that up until now.. even after almost three months being engage and living in the same roof together, him and joshua haven't been mated yet.. or more like, they haven't done sex yet. nor even joshua never tried to mark him, as his.

that's why what the king had asked made him reacted that way as he didnt know what to answer. because seokmin knew that the moment they admitted they arent mated yet or joshua haven't made a move already nor they didnt done sex yet, he would make the king disappointed as he knew his father was expecting those to happen as they were already engage and seemed both like what they were right now.

"right?"

the king had to asked that again after receiving a silence for like almost five minutes interval. seokmin tried to shot joshua a glance whose beside him to gesture him what would they gonna answer, but before the prince could even gestured joshua.. the alpha already answered. the answer, seokmin's mouth could only left ajar dumbfoundedly.

"y-yes, your majesty." joshua stuttered as he bowed lightly.

seokmin saw how the king, his father smiled. "so it is really okay then to hold a pre-nup for the both of you?"

"f-father, was that really necessary? we will be getting married sooner enough." he couldn't control himself as he already utter a word.

for the past almost three months already, despite of cooperating with their wedding organizer and jeonghan along with the rest of his closest friends even soonyoung was helping them to prepare for the wedding, seokmin, the prince wasn't still confident talking about him marrying joshua... joshua, the alpha he doesn't like and hates the most.

"it is my son, thats one of the tradition in a royal family." then the king drank the wine on his glass as he exchange glances for both seokmin and joshua who are sitting next to each other. "ill schedule your pre-nup earlier than sooner. ill also inform your wedding organizer to help you."
