LOVESTRUCK ROYALTY

Chapter - 44

After their intimate night on The New Year's party, Hyunjin got pregnant again. Yes, again. As Hyunjin's pregnancy progressed, life in the palace remained calm, with Felix caring for him. Their seven-year-old son, Yongjin, had started to notice his mother's changing behavior, though he was already accustomed to some level of chaos in the palace, thanks to his two younger twin sisters, Hyena and Felicia, who were now two years old.

One afternoon, while Felix was tending to the twins, Yongjin sat beside him, his face thoughtful. Hyena and Felicia giggled as they played with their toys, completely oblivious to the changes happening around them. Yongjin, however, had been observing Hyunjin more closely.

"Daddy," Yongjin started, tugging gently on Felix's sleeve. "Is Mommy okay? He's been acting really weird again, like he's tired all the time. And sometimes he cries when he's happy, and it's confusing."

Felix glanced over at Hyunjin, who was resting nearby, then smiled softly at his son. "Mommy's fine, Yongjin. He's just feeling a little different because we're going to have another baby soon."

Yongjin's eyes widened. "Another baby?" He glanced at his sisters, Hyena and Felicia, who were still busy playing. "Like Hyena and Felicia? But... where will the baby sleep?"

Felix chuckled, patting Yongjin's head. "We'll figure all of that out, don't worry. The baby will have its own space. But you're going to be a big brother again, and just like when the twins were born, we need to be extra gentle with Mommy."

Yongjin nodded, now understanding more. "So, that's why Mommy is tired and sometimes cries?"

Felix nodded. "Exactly. It's all part of the baby growing inside him. But he'll feel better soon. In the meantime, you can help by being patient and maybe making your sisters laugh when they start causing trouble." Felix grinned, knowing how lively the twins could be.

Yongjin smiled back. "I can do that! I'll take care of them while we wait for the baby."

Felix ruffled his hair, grateful for how thoughtful his son was. "You're a great big brother, Yongjin."

1 year later...

Felix and Hyunjin had been sharing a quiet, intimate moment in their room, with Hyunjin comfortably perched on Felix's lap. The air was warm between them as their lips moved together, their kisses growing more heated. Felix's hands slipped under Hyunjin's shirt, caressing the soft skin of his waist, while Hyunjin moaned into his mouth, his hands working to unbutton Felix's shirt, grazing his chest and rock-hard abs with delicate touches.

Just as things were beginning to escalate, there was a sudden knock at the door. Felix and Hyunjin froze, quickly pulling apart, their cheeks flushed with embarrassment. The door creaked open, revealing Yongjin standing there holding his baby brother, Hyunsoo, in his arms. His wide eyes took in the scene before him, and he stood still, confused.

"What are you two doing?" Yongjin asked, his innocent voice cutting through the awkwardness.

Felix hurriedly buttoned his shirt while Hyunjin, still blushing, cleared his throat. "Nothing," Felix quickly replied. "Why are you here this late at night, Yongjin? And why is Hyunsoo crying?"

Yongjin, holding his two-month-old brother, shifted the baby in his arms as Hyunsoo's cries grew louder. "Mommy, Hyunsoo is hungry," Yongjin said, walking over to hand the baby to Hyunjin.

Hyunjin took Hyunsoo into his arms, immediately cradling the crying baby. "Shh, baby, don't cry. Mommy's here," he whispered softly, calming the little one. Hyunsoo's wails quieted slightly as he snuggled into Hyunjin's embrace.

Hyunjin looked at his older son. "Yongjin, sweetie, go back to your room. I need to feed your brother now," he said gently.

Yongjin nodded, understanding, and gave his mom a quick smile before heading out of the room. Once the door was closed, Hyunjin lifted his shirt, guiding Hyunsoo to his chest. The moment the baby latched on, his cries stopped, replaced by the soft sounds of contented suckling as he drank the milk his mother offered.

Hyunjin felt Felix's gaze on him and glanced up, meeting his husband's eyes. Felix wasn't looking at Hyunsoo, though—his attention was completely on Hyunjin. The intensity in Felix's gaze made Hyunjin blush, feeling suddenly self-conscious.

"What? What's with that stare?" Hyunjin asked, his cheeks heating up.

Felix leaned in closer, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "I'm waiting for my turn," he said, his voice low, his eyes twinkling with playful intent.

Hyunjin's face turned an even deeper shade of red as he shot Felix a half-hearted glare. "No way. Last time I let you have some, you literally drank the whole thing!" he scolded, trying to sound stern but unable to hide his smile.

Felix pouted, leaning back slightly. "Oh, come on! I couldn't help it. It's not my fault you taste so sweet and addicting," he teased, his eyes still filled with that unmistakable hunger.

Hyunjin couldn't help but laugh softly at Felix's playful persistence. "You're impossible," he muttered, shaking his head, but there was affection in his tone. As Hyunsoo continued to drink, Felix leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to Hyunjin's temple, the warmth of their earlier intimacy still lingering between them.

"I'll wait as long as it takes," Felix whispered with a grin, his fingers lightly brushing over Hyunjin's waist as they both focused on their son, the quiet love between them wrapping the room in its own peaceful warmth.
