Princess Hours | SUKHOON | [✓]

B.O.M.B

Jihoon watched Hyunsuk play with his brother outside in the garden while he scrolled through a pile of his baby pictures that his mother gave him. And to no one's surprise, Hyunsuk looked like a little munchkin in every picture with his round fluffy cheeks.

About earlier, you could say they both chose to silently ignore whatever happened in the kitchen when the family returned.

For the rest of the time they ate a lot of good food, played games together and even watched a horror movie, though the scaredy cat couple barely saw anything with their eyes half peeking from the blanket.

To Jihoon all of this was new, a whole another definition of life. Until now he had been so caught up in his own mind that he couldn't see how simple happiness could be. If for once you keep aside the troubles, stop cribbing and focus on what's there in the moment, you could enjoy things you otherwise won't think about. To him this was beginning to be happiness.

The time spent there was good but they had to return to the palace the next day. Hyunsuk was a bit sad from leaving home but the despair vanished the moment he met Mr Lee and his favourite court lady, Ms Lin.

"I missed you all so much."

"We all missed Seja and Bingung mama too. The palace felt so empty without your presence.", Mr Lee bowed.

While Hyunsuk cheerfully greeted everyone, Jihoon did not, he just kept fidgeting the cuff of his suit. This was a usual for him, he had always carried this attitude but not on Hyunsuk's watch anymore as he nudged him, signalling to say some words of gratitude in return.

"Uh...I...I missed you all a..as well."

Jihoon took a hurried leave from there trying to act cool, but the slight blush on his cheeks was evident of the fact that he was starting to melt, from his usual cold demeanor and Hyunsuk gave himself a pat on the back for that.

After taking some rest and dropping in the king's chamber to offer their greetings, they sat outside the hall, on the bench, taking in some fresh air.

It was silent for a good while until Jihoon broke the ice,

"Yah...I wanted to ask, why did you do that suddenly?"

"Do what?" Hyunsuk took a moment after responding, retrospecting all that had happened recently which could lead to this question and oh, he could remember only one thing.

"A...Ah...that...-" He stuttered badly.

"I know you weren't able to sleep, right?" Jihoon side-eyed him, with a sly grin plastered on his face.

"W..what do you mean, not able to sleep?"

"Don't play dumb with me, you were trying to flirt with me."

"Ehhh...what flirting-" Hyunsuk got all flustered having been accused of something like that from Jihoon.

"I get it, I'm an alpha and you're an omega. We are both young adults and it's only natural you would want to get close."

"Jihoon...stop saying that..."

"Why, isn't it normal for you to feel a little hot around an alpha. Like you see, we alphas tend to get really energised if an omega gets that close, I mean its like a burning sensation you feel on the inside..."

The way Jihoon was trying not to lose his cool while saying all of this was hilarious though on the other side Hyunsuk had already become red, slightly from embarrassment and rest from Jihoon's shameless assumptions that shattered his pride.

"Who said I want to get close to you..." "...Seriously Park Jihoon how can you be so self obsess-"

But Jihoon did not let Hyunsuk complete and grabbed his wrists making him go quiet. And looked straight into his orbs as he said,
