haechan suddenly pushed mark away as he heard a cough. there he saw the two old men standing in front of them, having a lot of guards on their back.


"king lee and king jung have arrived!"


someone shouted that made haechan flinched, he immediately hid on mark's back as he got scared of what was happening around him.


"papa!"


haechan watched his son running towards the king, the other king went closer to jaehyun and Taeyong. that's why he assumed it was jaehyun's father. while the king in front of them is mark's father.


of course he is, they really look alike and everyone will assume they are related.


"he won't hurt you, love." mark said softly, chuckling as he found haechan cute while hiding in his back.


"yeah, he's right. i won't even hurt you." the king spoke.


"g-good afternoon, sir." haechan greeted.


"just dad," the king said. "you will be my son's husband in the near future, drop the formalities off." he chuckled.


"i'm sorry." and he took a bow.


"dada, he gave me a lot of toys and my room is super big!" marco said happily that made haechan look at his son, and couldn't help not to smile. "it's big just like our house." he giggled.


"he's so cute," the king said and let out a chuckle.


"why did you just come out of nowhere, dad? we were having a moment, you know." mark said.


"kissing while the kids are around? come on, lee mark. there's room for that!" his father said.


"they kissed a lot, papa." marco said happily, even proud of it.


"did they?!" the king said dramatically, even widened his eyes.


"like this," and he showed it using his hands.


"how about we just play inside your room, hmm?" mark said and got his son from his father.


"as you should, i need to have a talk with your man." the king said.


haechan suddenly looked at him, looking so surprised by it. even mark, he stopped when his father said that. looking at him before at haechan and there their eyes met.


"for what, dad?" mark asked.


"hmm, some other things." the king said and showed a smile.


"you would not tell him to break up with me, right?" he asked, which made the king chuckle.


"i'm not, why would i do that though!" he whined.


mark looked at his dad once again before haechan, letting out a sigh and went closer to haechan.


"it's gonna be fine, he will just expose me but promise me that you won't break up with me whatever happens." mark said.


"lol, why would i expose you? i'm not even going to say that you peed on your bed—"


"dad!" mark hissed, which made the king laugh.


"i won't get jail, right? didn't you said there's a punishment—"


"it has already ended, my love. dad and the other kings decided to stop the rule already." he cut him off.


"so, everything is already fine? there's no punishment anymore?" haechan asked softly, mark showed a smile and nodded.


"dad, take care of him. i don't want to see any bruises on his body." mark said as he faced his father.


"guards, you heard that!" the king said.


mark just rolled his eyes and leaned a forehead kiss on haechan, the younger one doesn't want to let go yet but mark needed to.


"this way, shall we?" the king said, smiling.


haechan showed a smile before he followed the king, they went inside the kingdom and they are now walking down the hallway. haechan couldn't help not being amazed around him.


not until the guards left them alone, haechan looked at the king beside him because of that.


"they might eavesdrop while we're talking..." the king whispered.


"may i know what we are talking about, sir?" haechan asked politely.


"dad." the king glared at him.


"i'm sorry, i mean dad." and he took a bow.


"well, just about mark." the king said and looked around. "he's the only son of the lee family, the next king in the near future, the next person who will lead this whole kingdom." he smiled.


haechan just nodded and attentively listened to the king, looking at his surroundings and he really couldn't stop being amazed.


"six years ago when my son came back after his vacation in the human world," he started. "there i noticed that something was wrong with my son, i usually don't read his mind because you know, privacy. but since i was curious, i did. that's how i found out that my son fell in love with a human." he smiled.


"not just him, but also his friends. johnny, jaehyun, yuta and jeno. their thoughts are so loud to the point i always gave them a lot of missions so they would leave the kingdom." he chuckled. "the whole six years, there's nothing inside my son's head but this guy named haechan. that's you, right?" and he pointed at him.


"he was wondering what you're doing right now, what would happen if you guys met again. what would happen if everyone found out that he just broke the rule after falling in love at first sight." he smiled. "i witnessed how my son became genuine in his feelings despite not seeing the person he loved for almost six years. until i and the other kings are already deciding to stop the rule, and before we declare it, we give our sons a mission in the human world."


"and that's how everything started, no one has been punished. the rule has already been stopped a week ago." he smiled.


a silence covered the whole corridor, haechan was out of words, he felt like he was going to cry any minute. mark was really genuine and serious about him, and haechan doesn't know about it but instead, he even kept their son for him.


"are you also genuine about your feelings for my son, haechan?" the king asked softly.


"there's no words that can explain my feelings to your son, dad." haechan said, smiling. "he's my everything, no one can replace him."


"you know, if mark was here. he would probably be squealing like a teenage girl right now." the king said and let out a laugh.


haechan couldn't help but laugh, and they continued talking about other things until they reached the living area. where the said queen was there, sitting comfortably.


"hon, haechan is here." the king said.


the queen looked up which made haechan immediately greet her, the queen straightly made her way towards haechan and gave him a warm hug.


"you're so pretty!" she giggled. "i really want to see you when mark starts to talk about you."


"thank you, ma'am." and he smiled.


"just mom, honey." she smiled.


minutes after, mark and marco also arrived. the queen and haechan had just decided to cook lunch. that's why they were now inside the kitchen.


"mark said you're a teacher and marco is studying at the same school where you were teaching." the queen said.


"yes, mom." haechan nodded as he was starting to cook. "that's how i do it for a living." he smiled.


"i like that," she giggled. "hmm, how about your parents? is it possible to meet them?" she asked.


"my parents are currently living in my hometown. i moved out when marco turned three years old since i can handle him already and raise him on my own." haechan said. "and to meet them... i don't know yet, mom. i haven't told them yet that i met marco's other father." he smiled.


"it's okay, hon." she smiled. "i am now amazed by you, you're independent. wonder why mark fall really hard." she chuckled.


"i really thought i wouldn't meet him anymore," he chuckled. "but destiny made this and i'm thankful, i already gave the complete family to my son."


"and i'm also thankful that you're my son's partner, we don't need to set him up for a marriage. because you know, royal things." she chuckled.


haechan also chuckled and continued cooking, the queen helping him. the maid didn't even want them to do it but the two insisted.


"mom, can i ask something?" haechan asked.


"hmm?" the queen answered softly.


"is it possible that i will also get mark's power? that was doyoung said to us and i just want to make sure." he asked, the queen let out a chuckle and faced him.


"yes, hon. you will. that's how it works." she smiled. "you're now one of the most powerful people in our universe."
