Dark sky, gloomy weather and numb. It was perfect for Lee Seokmin. The prince ran away from his nest and clan, hiding out inside his brother’s place. He just took a donjon to hide and live his own life there, not willing to ruin the moment Jooheon spending with Seunghee though. He simply wanted to be alone. Runaway from where he was supposed to live, it took away his chance to feel at ease. Also, it just worsened his condition from living without his one.

“We still have Chan, you still have us, Seokmin. I consider you as the family, Seokmin.” 

“No…I’m not part of this family. Just parasite for you and Jooheon hyung.” Seunghee gasped at his words. Not about the harsh part, but
