"Mark where have you been?!" A black haired woman with long and straight hair said worried while hugging the latter. "Mum, you're going to crush me."

"Son, you just disappeared at the climax of the ball. Everyone was so upset that you didn't dance the most important dance of the evening." The former king spoke a bit disappointed but smiled at how his wife kept squishing their son.

"And we've been informed by the guards that you had company by somebody last night, what did we tell you about-" "Listen, it's not like that." Mark interrupted his mother before she could blabber out more embarrassing stuff, then continued: "it was just a big misunderstanding that's all."

"I hope you'll chose her. It was Haechan from the eastern kingdom, right? The one you were at the garden with two days ago." His father asked, still having a smile plastered on his face.

Mark sighed: "wow you really do monitor everything I do, don't you?" "We were just curious, I mean, you have to choose soon." His mother spoke in an apologizing tone.

"I know. That's why it's stressing me out so much. It's so rushed, why is this even a tradition." Mark said while turning around, trying to hide how worried he was about it. Sure he knew Haechan was the one because of plenty of reason. And he was also relieved that Haechan was the way he was: different.

Mark absolutely knew all about it. And so did his parents.

However, the raven haired was scared. Scared he'll scare the younger. Scared that the rushed marriage everyone was expecting from him would hurt Haechan. It wasn't like that information was new for the hazel haired, I mean, he came to the ball, but it still was something difficult. Mark was also scared of how his people will react to it.

How should be break it to Donghyuck that he knew? How should he asked him to be his boyfriend? How should he propose to him? How should he do that in a span of a week. The raven haired thought he was mentally prepared for this period of his life, turns out he wasn't.

He wasn't prepared that things turn out that complicated. However, he was really glad he didn't have to marry a girl, but the last night just made it everything just confusing.

"Dear, don't worry. I don't want to pressure you but you have to choose soon who to you want to marry. Whichever decision you're going to make, it'll be the right one." His mother spoke calmly as she placed her hand on the boy's shoulder, the latter turning his head to look at her.

"I know it's Haechan for sure, but I don't want to pressure him." Mark stated as he nodded, still a bit nervous though.

"That's great to hear that you feel so certain about him. We'll inform his parents to come to visit our castle for a dinner together." His dad commented, while nodding at his wife.

"What are you waiting for, go spend some time with Haechan." The former queen giggled as she brushed a few black hair strands out of her face."

"Y-yeah, imma get going." Mark also giggled, waving at his parents as and he turned on his heels, making the big gown spin around him. The king l went out the room, Jeno and Johnny following him while he was heading to his own room.

"Jeno, tell Haechan he should change in casual boys clothes which will be brought to him later and that he should put off that wig, I'm ready tired of seeing it." Mark took a pause to sigh, then proceeded to continue: "you tell him to put on a short hair wig so he won't know I found out. Of course doesn't needs to wear one, just tell him that and they'll pretend. Tell him we're going in town and he'll 'disguise himself' as male so no one knows he's a 'princess' who actually visited my ball." Mark ordered because people would make a fuss about it if they saw Haechan, 'a girl', with the king.

The red haired just nodded as he fastened his pace to get to Renjun, Jaemin and Haechan to tell them Marks plan for the day. Meanwhile the black haired turned his head to his personal guard, speaking: "You'll accompany me to the tailoring and we chose an outfit for him to wear, also mine, it should be something with a hood though, so I won't get recognized." Mark thought out loud, he was actually rather speaking to himself, Johnny as his guard would follow him anyway.

The brown haired nodded with a little smile, happy about how Mark was putting so much effort in it. Somehow Johnny really felt as if he raised both of them, Donghyuck and Mark, and he now saw them growing up.

...

"That'll be all, thanks Ten." Mark spoke with a smile, pulling Johnny's arms to get the brown haired out of his trance. The guard just couldn't help himself every time they were here, examining the like real life art looking designer.

"Wait a bit Mark." Johnny said a bit annoyed as he turned his head to the blonde, then continuing his flirting: "You're so talented, how do you come up with such unique ideas?"

Ten just giggled as he shoved both of the males out of the room: "We'll I have my inspiration. We'll talk later Johnny. If not Mark will kill me for delaying his date." The small male emphasized the date part with smiling widely. "I don't want our kid to grow up." Ten faked cried as he dramatically threw his arms around Johnny. "I know, time flies by so fast." Johnny joined as he hugged the smaller back.

"Both of you are just crazy." Mark snorted and took both outfits, completely done by their emotional asses as deciding it'd be better if he started tracks alone, leaving Johnny behind.

A bit further down the hallway he got accompanied by another guard who was close to him: "Mark, what are you doing here alone man. Don't carry these alone. Where's Johnny?"

"Oh thanks Lucas. Well he just stayed with Ten, when you know, you know." "Yeeeaaah" the purple haired just laughed as they continued walking.

In the distance they saw a red haired male coming towards them, saying: "I informed Renjun and Jaemin already, they'll tell Haechan soon."

"Bring this to them please." Mark said as he handed the Haechan's outfit which consisted of trousers and a shirt, unlikely like his dresses. "I'll get to my room to change." Mark said and walked off to the direction of his room, a smile plastering on his face because of happiness.

That day will be amazing, he just had that feeling and he was right.
