Soonyoung: Okay. Okay, I’ve thought about it. And I’m sorry. The way I treated you wasn’t right. I should have treated you proper. I should have taken care of you and kissed you and made you feel like a million bucks. I’m sorry. I hope you can find somebody who will do all those things for you.

Wonwoo: …you’re right, you needed to say that in person.

Soonyoung: Sorry.

Wonwoo: …still want to talk about it face-to-face?

Soonyoung: Can I?

Wonwoo: I have time on Tuesday.

Soonyoung: Come over for coffee?

Wonwoo: Sure.

Somehow, things had not gone according to plan. Because somehow, they had ended up locked up in the back room again.

Soonyoung halted instantly, half-crawled on top of Wonwoo, the omega looking up, confused.

“No.”

“What do you mean, no?” Wonwoo hissed. “You’re the one that asked me-”

“No, we’re not doing it like this.”

“What?!”

“Come here.” Soonyoung pulled the omega back onto his feet, unlocking the door and tugging him through. “Woozi! I’m leaving early.”

“Bye,” the Prince answered with ease.

Soonyoung pulled Wonwoo down the street and around the corner, all the way until they were in the alpha’s slightly messy apartment. Wonwoo was placed on the edge of the bed and Soonyoung sat up on his knees over him, leaning down to kiss him harshly.

“Soonyoung-”

“I want to take care of you.”

“What the hell?!”

They had to stop the make-out session for the alpha to take a deep breath, hovering over Wonwoo. “Okay. I want… to do the thing. With you. I don’t know. With you, everything is different. I didn’t think anything of it at first. Then when you left… I never felt like that before. Seeing a lover leave. I couldn’t stop staring at the door. I just wanted to see you turn around and come back through it. I couldn’t believe you were really gone. I’ve never felt so… so… out of control. I just wanted you to come back. And I realized how bad I’d treated you and when I look at you I can’t help but think you deserve the entire world, because you have the rest of the galaxy in your eyes.”

Wonwoo simply stared a little.

“I can’t remember the last time I dated exclusively. It’s not something I’m used to. It’s uncomfortable to be so emotionally dependant on one person, to give them so much control over me. But nothing could ever be more uncomfortable than seeing you leave and knowing I’d never look at your handsome face again. So I’m asking – no, I’m begging you to give me another chance. I’ll do my best to do everything right, I promise. I’ll google it, if I have to. I just… I want to see you. Every day. I want to hear your voice. I want to know that your heart does the same thing my does. I want to come home and know that you’ll text me tomorrow.”

Wonwoo’s expression wasn’t changing.

“Please?” Soonyoung breathed, staring at the omega. He held Wonwoo’s face between his hands, gently. “Please, Wonwoo.”

Then he suddenly broke out into a smile in the alpha’s hands – a blinding, soft, gentle, absolutely glorious smile. “That’s all I ever wanted.”

Soonyoung laughed and leaned forward to kiss his omega. “Thank you.”

“You too.” Wonwoo grinned, fingers already undoing all of Soonyoung’s buttons. “This is, by far, the best Valentine’s Day ever.”

Jihoon: Miss you.

Seungcheol: I’m sorry, baby. I miss you too. Busan is awesome. We should come here together someday.

Jihoon: You’re enjoying it? That’s good.

Seungcheol: It’s amazing. The Prince is so kind! And so damn pretty. It’s almost upsetting.

Jihoon: I can imagine. Well, it’s almost midnight, so I’m going to go to bed.

Seungcheol: Goodnight, Hoonie.

Jihoon: Night, babe…

Four hours later

Seungcheol: Oh my God. This was Valentine’s Day. I mean, yesterday was Valentine’s. Oh my God. Jihoonie, I’m so sorry.

Jihoon: It’s alright.

Seungcheol: It’s not, is it? I should have prepared something.

Jihoon: Don’t be silly. I don’t expect you to prepare something all the way from Busan.

Seungcheol: I’m such an idiot. I had plans, too. I’m so sorry, baby. You ended up feeling lonely all day because of me.

Jihoon: I’ve been lonely without you all week. Valentine’s Day doesn’t matter so much.

Seungcheol: Of course it does. I’m sorry. No matter how much you try to hide it, I know you would have liked something.

Jihoon: Fine. I’m a bit upset I didn’t get a “Happy Valentine’s Day”. I was really looking forward to spending Valentine’s day with a lover. But it’s okay. We can celebrate when you get back.

Seungcheol: Baby, I don’t know how to make this up to you. My precious baby.

Jihoon: Don’t sweat it Cheol. Can I go back to bed? It’s the middle of the night.

Seungcheol: Go to bed, baby. I love you so much. I’m so sorry. Good night, sleep tight. Dream sweet, baby.

Jihoon: I hear you’re delaying the coronation.

Joshua: We’re going over security details, for everybody. Uncle Hee is worried that somebody is trying to take us all out, but he’s relaxed a little since there haven’t been any attempts so far.

Jun: What your brother isn’t telling you, kid, is that China ain’t happy.

Jihoon: Eh?

Joshua: They are very upset that the crown prince’s wife has been murdered, and worry over his safety too. He’s been recalled. Yoonjo is in a tight position.

Jun: Basically, war is here.

Joshua: It’s not a great situation,
