3rd person

"He really said THAT?!" "Renjun quiet down!" Haechan scolded while plopping himself down on the bed in the guestroom with a little sigh. Although this bed was very comfy and cuddly, Haechan was still jealous over Mark's kingsized bed with the ocean if pillows.!

"Look at me, I'm Mark and I'm always there for my princess Haechan." Jaemin teased with a deep and goofy voice while dramatically swinging his arms in the air.

"I really hate you guys sometimes." The hazel haired's mouth escaped another little sigh while shaking his head as he laid down, limps spread over the bed. He somehow really missed Mark's bed even though he never laid in it.

"Hyuck he's so whipped its indescribable!" The pink haired shouted, still not believing what the prince just told them. He told them everything what happened, from Mark pissing him off and Donghyuck believing he found out, which turned out to be false, to why are you making me feel so flustered?

"Oh dude he was flirtin" the blonde giggled, also laying down on the bed next to Donghyuck.

"Oh come on, you guys exaggerate totally." The hazel haired said, already being completely done with his friends teasing him the whole evening long.

"But... do you guys like it here.. I mean, if this here really works with marrying Mark and stuff, that'll be our new home." The secret Prince asked while glancing between Jaemin who was laying next to him and Renjun who was sitting on the bed, curious about his friends opinion about the situation.

"Are you kidding? It's amazing here! Here's everything! The scenery, the big castle, the kind people like Jen- I mean, Mark is also kind- I probably should stop talking." Jaemin pouted at end, flustered by how he basically betrayed himself by babbling out how whipped he was, which was originally meant to be a secret making the pink haired giggled at the cuteness of the youngest.

"Yeah, how was it with Jeno by the way?" Haechan was now the one who teased the others, wiggling his eyebrows up and down, getting an annoyed sigh from Renjun. However, Jaemin was panicking. It wasn't because they were talking about the red haired himself and Jaemin was thinking about him, it was rather because Jaemin was feeling guilty.

"G-greeeaat... really... I- we- we're going now, right Renjun?" Jaemin said nervously while eyeing Renjun carefully, who just frowned a bit. "Yeeeah... whaaaat? it's already that late. I guess we're going to our room now." Renjun managed to say more collected and calm but it still seemed off due the fact that they weren't the greatest actors when it came to lying.

"What are you two hiding?" Haechan asked, didn't liking the suspicious behaviour of his friends at all. "Nothing, Jaemin is just shy talking about Jeno, that's all Donghyuck." The pink haired said, squeezing his thumbs behind his back and hoping the prince would accept this explanation.

Haechan was still unsure if he should rather believe or not. But if he asked them even more, they really wouldn't tell him what was going on. When his friends pulled something off like that, it often was very stupid. But the thing is you couldn't stop them usually.

"Okay... just don't make any risky moves." The hazel haired spoke turning around and showing them his back, averting his gaze from the males standing next to the door. Right as the prince wasn't looking both males nodded at each other with a worried smile.

"Could you guys please blow out the candles? Thanks I love you." The Prince sleepingly added, already halfway into dream land. The male was really glad he didn't have to wear the stupid wig while sleeping, it would be the complete horror actually. The reason here being that he already hated wearing it during the day.

"Y-yeah, good night." The blonde whispered and both servants hurried to do as Donghyuck requested and got out of Haechans guestroom. Both of them greeted the guards in front of the hazel haired's room, then headed into the direction of their own guestroom.

"Renjun, were lying to him. I feel so guilty." The blonde whispered in a worried tone while staring at the pink haired male who was walking next to him.

"I mean, Jeno just forced that out of us. A-and he already knew it. He just wanted to get it confirmed. I also have a slight bad conscience but- I don't know. Jeno said they already guessed it. We couldn't convince them other wise."  Renjun said with a sad tone, then added: "And telling Haechan this would make things even more complicated."

"But why did he find it okay though. O-or is our plan about to fail." Jaemin shared what he just realized and stopped his tracks in shock.

"N-no, I don't think so. Because- ugh I don't know myself. We can't predict. We just have to wait and see what actually happens okay Jaemin?" Renjun suggested, grabbing Jaemin's hand and pulling the younger after him.

"Y-yeah, you're right." The blonde stared at the ground with a slightly flustered face. A hundred emotions hit him at the same time: guilt, happiness, worry and love were just a few of them. It was so confusing: a clouded worried mind and a warm touch around his hand, really the total opposite happening at the same moment.

The blonde looked outside, memorized by the clear night sky and big half moon.  It was completely dark outside, the moon being the only source of light. Shaking off his distracting thoughts, his eyes laid again on the boy dragging him, looking at the back of his head, observing how the fluffy when locks slightly bounced up and down with the older walked. Then his gaze shifted to their interlocked fingers, smiling a bit, happy about having the older.

But Renjun was right, all they had to do was to wait and see what tomorrow brings.

...

"And? Any news"

"Yes, it's like you've predicted."

"They confirmed it?"

"Yes."

"Great job. Thank you. Was it easy?"

"Not really but I had my ways."

"Make sure no one knows about this and also not about the now for us confirmed fact, you know."

"I will. I'm positive that both of them won't say a word, me neither and you surely not."

"Good, thank you."

"But how do you feel about it?"

"Me? I'm just really glad."
