   " His highness.. what???? " asked San thinking there was something wrong with his ears. Yunho sighed, San was currently acting like a child. " Your husband went with his guards to shop with clothes two hours ago. " repeated Yunho staring at San like he was some wall. Everyone wondered why the prince would shop for clothes right now.

" Of course he would, its your honeymoon for fuck sake " spat Yeosang making San's face turn red almost like a tomato, making both Yunho and Yeosang erupt in laughter. Many dirty thoughts crossed San's mind that he had no idea he was capable of thinking.

" Bet your first night going to be wild " spoke Yeosang snickering and Mingi losing every single ounce of patience he had. San's head skyrocketed to the core, he has no idea how to control all these images inside his head. The three of them all laughing at San's face, he had legitimately turned into a tomato inside out.

On the other hand, stood a trio who were being hugged by their tallest and eldest. He was waiting for them to mentally and physically calm down so he can let go of them. He patted their backs softly and rubbed it. He was being extra gentle to the kids in his arms, as if they will break.

" I-I-I'm sorry " said Wooyoung between his hiccups and choking back a tear all in Jongho's arms. Only to recieve an even tighter hug from Jongho. " Why are you even apologizing? " said Jongho face completely red and puffy from crying his guts out. " You have nothing to apologize for " said Seonghwa instead of Hongjoong who seems to be struggling to make words.

" I-its all my fault... I... " said Wooyoung yet again making Seonghwa frawn, whom inserted that idea in his head he thought. None of the guys here were happy back in their kingdom, so they didn't mind being banished.

" S-Stop it hyung..it- we are sorry for not doing it earlier... " said Jongho sobbing hysterically as he remembers all the time he felt like killing himself for not being able to stop Wooyoung's father's abuse. He beat himself up for it and wished that he was stronger. Everyone else felt the exact same. They all wanted to take Wooyoung earlier and yet they couldn't do it, Hongjoong then lost it at that moment.

" I'm sorry " said Hongjoong trying to sound like he was bawling his eyes out, Jongho and Seonghwa almost slapped Hongjoong. Does Hongjoong think its his fault that he didn't save Wooyoung? " I'm sorry as well " said Seonghwa almost pinching Hongjoong's sides.
Wooyoung just sobbed but silently this time clutching Jongho closely.

Jongho let go of Wooyoung only to cup his face in both of his palms, looking directly into his eyes. " You have nothing to apologize for...I will definitely protect you this time and every upcoming time. So hyung please lean on me, I will always be there " said Jongho wiping Wooyoung's tears with his sleeves. What Jongho didn't realize was that half of what he said was gibberish due to his sobs. Wooyoung looked disheveled as those words escaped Jongho.

Seonghwa and Hongjoong's almost got shocked at the eruption of Jongho's emotions, they have never seen him this emotional. In the end, Wooyoung was like the older brother he never had. Despite their social differences, and Wooyoung's father defaming his son, they were able to bond like the family they all never had.

" So smile a lot more hyungie~ " cooed Jongho wiping his own tears with his sleeves trying to get his resting bitch face again, like he just damped Wooyoung's coat. Finally, Wooyoung looked like he calmed down from his sudden explosion as he tried to steady his breaths.
