“Does she know?” Sehun quietly asked after a long, long streak of silence. Kai was glad that he finally parted his lips to speak but he couldn’t help the uneasiness coursing through his whole body. “I-I don’t think so.” Kai answered, slightly stuttering.   He took a quick glimpse of the King, and inwardly cursed. Sehun’s face was set straight and like usual, Kai failed to read his friend’s expression. All he could see was a stern face paired with hard, cold eyes.   “I believe it’s better for it to remain this way.” Sehun said in a blunt manner.    Kai furrowed his brows as his eyes darted to Sehun. His friend offered an apologetic look, “She’s young. She doesn’t need to know this. So please don’t reveal this anyone else, especially Chaeyoung.”   Kai gulped. Could he do that? Ignore his mate to a certain period of time until she came of age?   “Of course.” Kai replied politely in dull way.   Sehun frowned from his friend’s formality. “Kai.” He sighed.   “I know, I know.” Kai interrupted Sehun. “I won’t tell nor will I act on it.”   “I’m sorry.” Sehun genuinely apologised, his eyes showing a depth of contrite and sincerity.   Kai couldn’t even crack a smile, his lips refused to tilt upwards. “I have to go now.” Kai dusted his clothes and stood up. He offered Sehun a low bow but not before staring straight into his orbs to say, “I’m sorry that my mate ended up being your daughter.”   Sehun’s frown deepened. “Kai-“   It was too late though. Kai just sweeped his coat up and walked through the door with an inaudible goodbye leaving his lips.    Sehun groaned tiredly into his palms. His heart literally stopped beating when Kai’s announced his discovery. He had known that it was difficult for Kai to confess and Sehun appreciated his friend’s efforts yet Yoon was too young. She would probably freak and if Chaeyoung found out, Sehun didn’t know what to think what she’ll do.   Evening came by fairly quickly and by then Sehun was completely tired from analysing complaints from the smaller villages. He flipped the thick binder shut and relaxed into the wheelie chair. His muscles ached and his neck felt stiff from being quite inactive the last few hours.    His troubles ceased thinking of his mate. He could imagine her smile as he thought about her. It wasn’t long when he decided he wanted to see Chaeyoung. He cleaned up his desk a little and left the office in search for his mate.   *I wonder what Sehun is doing?* Chaeyoung thought, holding up a hand to block the sun from hurting her eyes. She was at Sehun’s headquarters, sitting on his balcony. The breeze was nice and the view was great. She could see the ranges of light brown to a soft pink paint the evening sky beautifully.   She could savour the weather since Kris had taken both Yoon and Min
