"my majesty, i have a present for you!"

the king witnessed how his little crowned prince, his next king, his seokmin, his son was happily and cheerfully running towards to his direction with a huge sweet smile plastered on his face as eyes was disappearing like a little kid himself. and though the king knew that seokmin was all grown up now and he could see the potential in him how he can rule and reign this nation soon enough after his marriage with joshua, he couldn't deny that in his eyes.. seokmin, prince seokmin will remain as an innocent kid. from the way he saw how seokmin became the light of this family and this palace, is the same seokmin that would remain in his head and in his eyes, as long as he lived.

that happy seokmin.. that happy prince. that guy who holds stars in both of his eyes and has a huge smile that shone bright as the sun.

the king smiled sweetly. "what is it my little prince?"

but instead of giving the presents to him, the king saw how seokmin pouted the moment he heard what the king had told him. because he heard that again, that "little prince", which the word seokmin slowly hating since almost everyone was calling him and seeing him little when in fact he was already grown up, and they all knew, the whole world knew he was the next king of korea yet they're still considering him as a little like he was still as some kids back in his younger years. even joshua was calling him that, too.. which he thought the person who wouldn't going to call him like that.

seokmin pouted. "im not little anymore, father!"

the king just laughed. "okay.. okay, im sorry my highness." then he cupped seokmins face as he rubbed his cheeks, staring at him lovingly like his life depends on seokmin... which was true. "so what do you got there?.. you said you have your present for me?"

the omega nodded like a kid then he showed the beige with a shade of gold tupperware he was hiding from his back. "here my majesty, i dont know if it taste the same as eomma and noona cooked one for you before, but i tried my best."

and without any proper context, his majesty's heart shrink at the same time melt upon hearing those informations from seokmin... because seokmin may not said what it is, but in his mind and in his heart, he knew what kind of presents seokmin had given him.. or more like, the dish he cooked for him as a present. since his daughter and his wife, the late queen, used to cooked the same thing for him every christmas. and he didnt know seokmin could do the same as he never taught the prince how to cook properly, but guess that his eunuch and his noona taught him behind his back before.

his majesty smiled even more. "whatever it taste like, this will be one of the delicious food i'll ever eat. and of course, this will taste good, because you cooked it. my prince cooked this for me."
