Yesterday...

After Sewoon left, Sungwoon gathered everyone again in order to confirm if they are all in agreement with Sewoon's wish for all of them to stop and make a fresh start for themselves. Everyone nods and says it would be the best thing to do.

"Yeah, let's begin again." Woojin was the last to speak up but he didn't notice Daehwi looking at him.

As the others left, Daehwi went up to Sungwoon and told him his doubts about Woojin's sincerity.

"I'm thinking of the same thing too." Sungwoon said. "We all know how he sounded so passionately during his argument with Sewoon earlier and I think the others are surprised with his 360 degree turn, they may also be having the same doubts as you have right now."

"So what are we going to do, hyung?"

"Make sure to keep him always within your sight. He might do something bad."

"And if he does?"

"Alert me immediately."


Sunday, A few hours earlier that morning...

Woojin punches in the right numbers which unlocks the door to their hideout's weapons stockroom. Going inside, he quickly picks up the items he needed before going out soon after.

"Now, to restart the mission."


Back at the Palace...

DANIEL'S POV

The program continued with more games. I excused myself for a moment and called my friends to tell them what has happened here so far. I left Seongwoo out there to deal with the kids. With the conference call up, I began talking to them.

"Sorry guys that I only got to talk to you all only now. Been busy here."

"Busy with the kids or Hayoon?"

"Hahaha, very funny, Jisung."

So, everything's okay there? Having fun though?" Jaehwan asked.

"You know, I'm actually having fun here."

"Ohohoho! Our future Duke's having fun!"

"Again, with the kids or Hayoon?" Jisung asked once again.

"... can I choose both?"

"OOOOOHHHHH!!!!"

"Geez! Whatever guys! Minhyun? You still there?"

"Oh? Yeah, I'm here... why?"

"I have news for you... actually, I should've told you this one yesterday."

"Okay... go on..."

"Miyeon... she's dating someone now."

"She is? Who? Do I know him?"

"You all know him, everyone does."

"Really? We all know him? Who the heck is that? The King? Hahahaha!"

"... Um..."

"Daniel? Is what Jisung said for real?! Is she dating the King himself?!" Minhyun asked. "Well?! Is she?!"

"Yes, she's dating Kihyun."

"Wow... That thought once came in my mind but I brushed it off while saying that's impossible but now..."
