THIRD OF MANY UPDATES!

"Suho!" Sunjong called as he caught up to the said man in the porch on the west end of the castle. It had always been Suho's favourite place in the castle. The ceiling was very high, tall white pillars, cool marble floor with beautiful pattern, a view of the greenhouse and surrounding trees. It was peaceful, with an overwhelming feeling of grandeur, just the kind of places he like. Kris had his own castle remodeled to look like this. They had played a lot of games, running barefoot on the clean and cool marble floors, where kris usually ended up chasing Suho as he weaved in between the pillars in the corridors. They would collapse in the pool room, where Kris would pull him closer and kiss him senseless. Suho would wriggle out of hold again soon after tricking him, and the chase would begin again-

"Suho are you even listening?" Sungyeol was waving a hand in front of his face.

"Ah, s-sorry!" Suho stuttered, his face colouring up. "I am sorry about that. You were saying?"

Sungjong smiled, "You haven't changed. You still love it here the best don't you? Remember how we used to slide across the marble floors, and remember the time when we got scolded by dad when we scared our maid while we draped that white table cloth on us."

They all laughed but Hoya spoke, "Though I think she was just playing along, and so was father. He wouldn't let us go so easily otherwise."

They all nodded and then feel into a comfortable silence. Now that he was here, Suho felt calmer, and slightly guilty about his conversation with Woohyun, but he really didn't feel like being pried open right now. As if reading his mind, Dongwoo spoke up at that moment, "You know right, Suho, that Woohyun didn't mean to hurt you. He just loves you a lot. He might even like you the best."

Suho played with his fingers to avoid looking at them, "I know."

Dongwoo continued, "We won't force you to say or do things that you don't want to, but remember that we all think your worth is priceless to us. I hope someday you will be able to see yourself through our eyes."

Hoya added, "I understand that it might not amount to much coming from us, but that is the way it is supposed to be."

"He's right." Sungyu had also joined with the remaining brothers. Woohyun was also there, pouting up a storm in the back, "We can't give you self worth, it is your own to find. All we can do is help along the way. Also, Woohyun has something to say." He nudged Woohyun forward, who was trying to blend in with the walls.

"Sorry Suho for being inconsiderate of your feelings..."

Suho waved him off with a half smile. Sungjong jumped up and down on his spot, "Hey, its been so long since we got together. Let's have some fun together! Horse riding? or let's go practice our range shooting. Let's see how well you have maintained your skills Suho. I bet I can beat you now."
