"mark? mark!"

mark woke up from a bad dream, he immediately looked around but no one was there except for their son who was comfortably laying at the bed and haechan in front of him.

"dude, what is happening to you?" haechan asked, frowning.

"i had a bad... dream." he gulped.

"about?" haechan asked, pouring the cup of water.

"that you didn't survive..." mark said in a low voice.

haechan stopped what he was doing as he heard mark say, the older one usually having nightmares these past few days and it worried haechan.

"but i did, love..." he said softly as he walked towards him.

"love, i don't know what to do if that happens." and he started to cry again.

"i'm a strong guy, just like what our son said." haechan said, comforting him. "we are all strong guys, remember?" he smiled.

"love..." and he cried more.

haechan let out a chuckle and just brushed mark's hair. even marco used to have nightmares because of what happened. luckily it stopped.

remembering what happened the past few weeks, haechan will never stop to say that he was lucky to survive after that incident.

"haechan!"

the terrace is like a third floor high, there is still a possibility that it will kill haechan once the annoying prince pushed him.

"let my dada go!"

something sharp stabbed the prince's chest, but it was too late because he already pushed haechan away. yuta immediately pulled marco away while jaehyun and mark tried their best to save haechan.

jaehyun tried his best to float haechan up but it was too late, luckily mark threw a foam where haechan successfully landed.

"he's unconscious!" jaehyun said. "and the foam is not kinda foamy so there's a possibility that it hit his back, he also has a cut on his neck and it didn't stop bleeding." he explained.

mark was now hearing his heart pounding so fast, seeing unconscious haechan made his heart torn into pieces. he was suddenly out of words, not even hearing his surroundings clearly.

"love, don't do this, please. wake up now." he begged.

"prince jungwoo is already on his way." johnny said.

"i can heal him," mark said and gulped. "please, let me heal him..." tears are flowing nonstop in his cheeks.

"mark..." jaehyun stopped him.

"please, i can heal him..." he begged. "i can do it now, please, i don't want to lose him..."

"and what if you failed again?" johnny said seriously.

all their eyes shifted to him, except mark who was still crying and having haechan on his arms. everyone knows what happened in the past, that's why they were not letting him heal haechan.

because what if he failed again like what happened from the past?

"let him go now, we will move him inside." renjun said who had finally arrived with the other prince from the east, jungwoo.

"i will make sure he will be fine." jungwoo said and smiled.

they all watched them going inside the kingdom so they would heal haechan in peace. mark couldn't stand up yet as he felt his knees getting weak.

mark can really heal someone, but he didn't know how to handle it since his family focused on his main power which is to manipulate and control someone's power. healing someone was left behind.

and when they are in the middle of a mission, someone needs to get healed as soon as possible. mark tried his best but he failed, the person died because of him. that memory never left mark's head, he really never forgets it and he's still guilty about it until now even though it was already years ago.

"daddy?"

mark looked at his son who just arrived together with jaeyu and his parents. mark showed a smile and welcomed his son with a warm hug.

"you saved dada, baby. daddy is proud of you." mark said and leaned a kiss on his forehead.

"dada will be okay, daddy!" he smiled. "we're a strong guys!"

haechan was really thankful that jungwoo healed him, he was also thankful to mark and jaehyun for trying their best to save him. and probably a plus point for jaehyun.

mark also stopped crying afterwards, haechan didn't leave him and comforted him until he stopped. their son is still peacefully sleeping, that's why the two are having their moment.

"love," mark called.

"hmm?" haechan responded as he was busy playing on mark's phone.

"if everything is already fine," mark started. "do you mind marrying me?"

haechan let out a chuckle and stopped playing, he was now sitting at mark's lap and their position is, haechan was hugging mark and there's he was playing, while mark just gently patting haechan's back.

"are you proposing now?" he asked, giggling.

"don't move a lot, donghyuck. i don't want to do unholy things in this room." mark said seriously and held haechan's waist tightly.

"aw, he's getting hard." he whispered teasingly. "i can help you." and he leaned closer, teasingly biting mark's ear.

"love!" he hissed. "i'm having my moment proposing!" he whined, making haechan laugh.

"okay, i'm sorry." and he smiled.

"i bought this ring almost a month ago," and he got something in his pocket. "i took a long time proposing to you because i can't get any great timing doing it."

haechan was now staring at the ring, he just hoped that mark would not hear his heart celebrating because haechan felt like his heart was going to come out. he really didn't know what to feel, he was just imagining their future before, being a complete family, like that.

now, mark is already proposing to him.

"now," and he gently held haechan's hand. "i am mark lee, prince of the south kingdom, a son of king lee. asking for your answer, will you marry me?"

haechan was lost of words to the point he just nodded as an answer, mark smiled widely and wore it to haechan, which was perfectly fit.

"it's so beautiful..." haechan whispered.

"just like you..." mark also whispered.

their eyes met and haechan couldn't help not to smile before pressing his lips to mark, but it didn't even take long when they heard a giggles.

"ooh, dada and daddy are kissing. papa said that's bad when i'm around!" the kid said and even covered his eyes.

"we should really not have a moment when our son is around." mark said.

"i heard that, daddy!" marco said, giggling.

the two just let out a laugh and called their son to join them. haechan cannot explain how happy he is. he really didn't expect that mark would propose to him, he thought it would be next year or another year.

he's currently fine right now, he can now walk around but his bruise is still hurt. that's why mark stopping him to move a lot.

"love?" haechan called softly.

"baby?" he responded as he started strumming on his guitar.

"where will we get married?" he frowned. "and we haven't talked about where we're going to live." he finished off.

"you know, love. it's fine to me where do you want to live, if in your world or on mine. but," and he looked at him. "if you're gonna ask me where i want to go, i will choose your world because the amount of our coins here is already a thousand in your world." he giggled.

"i would also choose where i grew up, my work was also there." haechan said. "how about our wedding?" he asked.

"you know, you should not worry about our wedding, my love." mark said softly and caressed haechan's cheeks.

"i would marry you in every universe."

haechan couldn't help not to smile which made mark let out a chuckle, he leaned closer to give haechan and peck kiss before starting to play his guitar.

"but seriously, i will marry you in my universe and also in your world." mark said calmly. "and, you don't need to worry about it. i got you, baby." he winked.

"cringe..." haechan said and rolled his eyes but also laughed afterwards.

"i can't really imagine you will be mine forever and will have a happy family with you..." mark said, smiling genuinely. "it seems like it's just recently that i was missing you."

"i was also scared before because i thought you will never come back and marco will never have a perfect family." haechan said softly. "so, thank you..." he whispered.

"thank you for coming in my life and coming back." he finished off.
