I'm sorry! Another thing, to all my grammatical error sentences ... I'm really sorry, really English is not my language ＼(;´□｀)/ ############################ Third Person POV "Jeonghan ah! I'm happy you made it, welcome to our humble home!" Madam Hong excitedly welcomed Jeonghan, giving him a big warm hug. Jeonghan hugged her back and after that, bowed his head and smiled at the smiling woman in front of him. "Thank you for inviting me here Madam Hong," he politely said. "Oh no, no, no, no! I told you to call me Mom, remember?" She pouted, "A-yeah ... Mom," Cheonsa awkwardly laughed a little. Joshua looked at the two in confusion, "Mom? What are y--" Diana only gave her son a sweet smile as she pulled Jeonghan's hand and happily said ... "Come Jeonghan ah, I already prepared our dinner." "A-yes!" . . . "Wow~ Your dinner table is too ... White and fancy," Jeonghan amused. The Second Prince laughed a little, pulling a chair for him. "T-thank you," Cheonsa shyly blushed. "Here you go!" Madam Hong placed a plate of pasta in front of the two. "I heard from my son that you loved pasta so much so, I decided to cook an Italian pasta dish for our special guest," she winked. "T-thank you M-Madam, I-I mean Mom!" "No worries Jeonghan ah, *smile fondly* You know, this pasta is called Pasta Puttanesca. It's a classic Italian pasta sauce based on pantry items." "Oooh~ I see," Jeonghan nodded in understanding. "Try it!" Madam Hong grinned. "S-sure," he smiled. "My Mom's cooking is the best Jeonghannie," Joshua chirped. "I agree," he praised. "Oh! I also made some strawberry tarts, try them too." "Yes! Gladly," Cheonsa beamed once he heard the word strawberry. And so, they started their dinner having a conversation about Joshua's mother occupation, and it ended up with Diana telling Jeonghan about Joshua when he was little. Jeonghan realized how much Madam Hong loved Joshua. And how much she's willing to do everything for her son. 8:34 pm At Joshua's room, "Uhmm … I can help Joshuji to wash the dishes," Jeonghan offered, feeling bad for the Second Prince who's washing the dishes alone in the kitchen. Apparently, the mansion was as big as the Choi mansion but, they have no maids nor butlers or driver inside. All the household chores were done by themselves. "Oh no sweetie! It's okay, my Jisoo can handle it," Madam Hong confirmed. "O-okay ..." Jeonghan looked around the place, it's the first time he entered in Joshua's room and somehow he felt nervous. "My son loves anime a lot," Diana laughed, pointing at all her son's manga collections and anime action figures, plus the anime posters hanging on the walls. "Yes, *smile* I actually happened to watch anime too, and I liked them." "Oh really? It's nice to hear that you both have the same interest." Cheonsa nodded, smiling at the Madam. He then decided to sit down on Joshua's bed and when he did, he heard something fell on the floor. "Oh! Sorry I will---" He was suddenly petrified, When he was about to pick up the thing that fell, his eyes widened in disbelief. Random pictures of him and some folded papers were scattered on the floor. "I think he forgot to hide that one," Diana chuckled, picking up the blue box on the floor where the pictures and letters were kept. "I-I'm sorry, I'll pick them up!" Cheonsa immediately said, kneeling down. He hurriedly picked up the pictures and letters on the floor. Madam Hong only smiled, patting Jeonghan's head that makes the latter more startled. "My son likes you, ever since he first saw you, Jeonghan ah," she suddenly confessed. "A-eh?" Jeonghan found himself unable to move and dumbfounded again. "When he first saw you, he told me it was love at first sight. I asked him who's the lucky girl, but he said you're a guy. At first of course, I felt worried for him since I wasn't expecting that my son was into guys. But when I saw how in love he was with you, I can't help but to accept what he wanted. As a mother, I told him I'll support him to whatever he wants. I'm happy when I see him happy." She paused, ""It's … The first time I saw my son being in love and smiling genuinely. And I thought, aaah~ I want him to be like this forever. But ... There's a saying that when you're too much happy, something bad will happen, right? And so one day, I found him crying in a corner of his room. I immediately ran to him, and asked him what happened. But the usual, he refused to talk. I tried, and tried, and tried to ask him, but he never talks. So, I ended up calling Seokmin, and asked him what happened. He said he also doesn't have any idea. But then, I heard someone talking from the back about the school Cheonsa confessing to the First Prince. That's how I realized, the reason why my son acting like that." "I ... I ... I'm sorry," Jeonghan mumbled lowering his head. He felt ashamed and unfair for Joshua at the same time. "It's all my fault, I'm really sorry!" "No, don't apologize Jeonghan ah, it's not your f---" "H-honestly, I have a crush on Joshuji the first time we met too." "Huh?" Diana's eyes widened. "I really like Jisoo ya, I really do! I'm always watching him from afar. Planning on how will I able to confess to him one day. That love letter ... It was for him, but then, out of my clumsiness, I ended up giving it to Cheollie, and the misunderstanding started. But still, I tried to confess to him again but ... A lot of things happened, and now I ... I ..." "You're in love with Seungcheol ..." Jeonghan bit his bottom lip hard, and he slowly nodded. He felt a suffocating feeling inside him that makes him want to cry it out. But Madam Hong only gave him a tender smile, caressing his hair fondly which makes the young man jumped a little from the sudden affection. "I understand Jeonghan ah, it's okay. You can't teach your heart whom you want to fall in love with. A lot of unexpected things will happen. So, be strong, be brave to face it, my son will always be with you, no matter what happens." Now, Cheonsa lifts his head, and slowly looked at Diana with wide eyes. "I'm not going to force you to love my son again, now that I know how you really feel for him, I felt relieved. I know my son will get more hurt, but he already knew that. And he said he's ready to get hurt as long as your happy. So, Jeonghan ah ... Be happy ... For my son's happiness." Those words, those kind words ... Aaaah~ What did I do to deserve to hear those words from these people? Am I too blessed? Honestly right now, I'm really happy. . . . "Joshuji!" Jeonghan called out, when he saw the Second Prince at the balcony enjoying the beautiful night view. Joshua immediately gave him a gentle smile. "Do you want to go home now? Come, I---" But the Second Prince words cut off when Cheonsa suddenly hugged him. His eyes rounded when he felt the warm hug from the person who captured his heart for a long time. "Thank you ..." Jeonghan whispered, squeezing him gently. Joshua closed his eyes, hugging back the second most important person in his life right now, caressing his hair fondly. "You're welcome," he replied. "Joshuji ..." "Hmn?" "I'm really thankful that I met you." The Second Prince shook his head a little, opening his eyes, and answered. "I'm the one who should be thankful, you don't know how happy I am ... To meet someone like you." Jeonghan smiled, "Can we live happily ... Forever?" Once Joshua heard Jeonghan's question, he gently squeezed him a little. "Don't worry, you'll be happy forever ... I promise." . . . "You're still awake? What are you doing?" The Young Master curiously asked once he enters the kitchen to get a glass of water, but he found Jeonghan decorating two trays of cupcakes that Seungcheol assumed he just baked. Cheonsa was still concentrating on what he's doing when he answered. "I'm almost done here." "And to whom will you going to give those cupcakes?" Seungcheol asked again, walking beside him. "To Joshuji and Mingyu ya," Jeonghan answered back while carefully putting the pink icing on top of the cupcakes one by one. The Young Master pouted, "Where's mine?" Cheonsa stopped what he's doing, and stared at Seungcheol blankly. "I'm always cooking and baking for you." The First Prince pouted more, but when he realized something, he ... "Wait, how was your dinner with the Hong?" "It was great! I had a lot of fun," Jeonghan chirped. "I'm glad to hear that. You're lucky Mom was not here, if she found out you went to the Hong's, she'll definitely freak out." "Y-yeah ... I know ..." Seungcheol laughed, "How about you?" Jeonghan decided to ask. "Hmn?" "It was ... Kinda weird that you let me go to Joshuji's house, and be with him." "I just don't want to be unfair to him," he only answered. "I-I see ..." *Silence* "C-Cheollie ya ..." "Hmn?" "Do you really ... Like me?" "Yes ..." He immediately answered back without hesitation. Jeonghan bit his bottom lip, stopping himself from smiling like an idiot after hearing that 'Yes' from the First Prince. UWAAAAH HEARTEU CHAN HE REALLY LIKES ME!!! WHAT SHOULD I DO? "How about you? Do you still like Joshua?" "Eh?" Joshua? Wait, wait, wait, when did I tell him I like Joshuji before? Jeonghan thought to himself. Seungcheol remained silent and still looking at him. "I-I ..." "Go take some rest after you're done here," he suddenly said and walked out. "Wait, what? Yah! We're not done talking yet you jerk!" . . . Inside the student council office, "Oh wow! Thank you Jeonghan ah!" Mingyu grinned once Jeonghan handed him a box of cupcakes that he baked last night. "I baked them, hope you like cupcakes," Cheonsa smiled back. "Of course I do! Wonwoo ya, look, look! Cupcakes from Jeonghan ah," Mingyu excitedly said, showing the box of cupcakes to the Fifth Prince. The latter only nodded and asked, "Do you want some tea while eating those cupcakes?" "Yes, sure!" The President replied. "I'll make some tea then, excuse me," he bowed his head a little, taking his leave. When Wonwoo left and went to the tiny kitchen inside the student council o
