Wonwoo's POV

My home... My childhood home. It was empty and dark.

Mingyu, Chan, Jihoon and I inspects the Jeon's Residence. My first home.

The entrance of our gate are bloody mess. Sign of intrusion and trespassing.
My heart sank when the main house is full of blood.

"Someone did it professionally, huh..." Jihoon said as he inspects the place.
"Someone made the perfect killing as our master said."

My family is one of the nobles that serves the governance of Seungcheol. My father is a former left state councilor and my mother is a teacher in a nursing school built by the former Emperor. I have a younger brother who is currently out of the country to study western medicine. He is the only surviving on my clan.

The maids and guards are all dead. And nobody can tell us who they might think did this gruesome crime to my family.

The blood are dried out from our sliding wooden doors and windows, but some are combined to the waters; making our visit smells awful.

Mingyu checks the slashes that the killer left on the wooden door and walls.

As we inspects our house, Mingyu holds my hand.

"I think you should go home or be with the Royal Senior Concubine..." He said.

I shooked my head. "No, I want to know who did this."

"Darling--"

"No, Mingyu. You know that I want to participate." I glared him and will walks away but he grabbed my arm once again.

"Listen, Jeon-Kim Wonu. Jihoon, Chan and I can do this. Just let us work. We have our guards to help us. Just rest and cry."

"Cry?! What does crying do to relieve my parents' death, Kim Mingyu?! Nothing!" I shouted as we catch the attention of other people inside of our home. "Crying and confining myself to loneliness doesn't help. It only reminds me that they all left me!"

Mingyu nodded, "But our son need his Dada, you know."

"I will go home after."

"He might cry, and find your presence that everyone at palace won't see." Mingyu said, teary eyed. "Please Wonu, remember that you still have your family. Your own family. And, I cannot accept that Mino will be motherless before he grew up."

Mingyu took me back to the Maiden's Palace. Jeonghan is taking care if my baby as Seungkwan and Pi Cheolin entertains them.

"I will take my leave, my darling..." Mingyu said as he smiles, showing his canines.

I nodded and close our faces gap, kissing him in front of them. It was long and slow before Pi Cheolin fakes his cough.

"Yah! Mino is still 2 months! Calm yourselves!" He shouted.

I ended the kiss and place my forehead to his.
"A passionate and long kiss for my Mingyu, Our Mingyu-appa..."

He smiled and kissed my forehead and looked at Seungkwan whose carrying our son.

"Say goodbye to your ugly father, Mino-yah!" Seungkwan said and Mingyu frowned on what Seungkwan commented to his face.

"Yah! I rejected your confession when we are young! Tsk!" Mingyu said.
