[Be warned: Long chapter ahead]

❤

My tears couldn't stop falling when Seongwoo closed his eyes. I closed mine too and hugged him, when suddenly his body was surrounded with the same glow as the rose.

I stared at Seongwoo, weirded out by the happening. All of a sudden he floated, I moved backwards scared by what's happening.

Will his body burst into shiny particles like in the movies? Or will it float to heaven?

I watched as rays of blinding light came out from his arms and legs. I covered my eyes with my arms, it was too bright.

Until an unfamilliar boy drop on the floor. He's wearing Seongwoo's clothes! I crawled near the body slowly, I was scared that it might not recognize me.

I just stared at the handsome looking boy. Is this really Seongwoo's true form? Why does he look so dashing even though he has bruises. I took the courage to touch his cheek, he stirred. His brows furrowed by the contact.

"Ong?" I whispered. He shook his head. I put his head in my lap.

"Seongwoo. Are you alive?" I checked his previous injuries. Surprised that it was gone now.

"What the fck how did that happened!?" I almost shrieked and push Seongwoo, but I didn't.

"Why the fck are you shouting in the morning!?" I looked at Seongwoo, startled by what he just said.

"YOU'RE ALIVE!" I hugged him tightly. I heard him mumble something but I didn't understand.

"Sskskdpwokr!" What?

"What did you say?" I let go of him. Now he seated up from laying and glared at me.

"I said. I can't breathe!" My mouth formed an O.

"Well, of course you can't breathe. You just died earlier." I explained. Seongwoo's eyes went from glaring to saucer.

"I-I'm dead? You mean right now I'm dead? Why do you still see me? Did you die too?" Seongwoo gripped my shoulders. It's funny he looks really worried. I smiled at him.

"Take a look at your hands Seongwoo." When he noticed that he wasn't in his beast form anymore, his eyes were so wide I almost think they might fall.

"I... Must be really dead. I'm seeing my true hands now. No more furs and shtty claws." He touched his face. His eyes looked bewildered, I wanted to video this and post it to youtube because it looks so funny.

"My precious face is back!!! My baby face! My handsome face!" I glared at him.

"Yah! What handsome face? Where's handsome in that huh? I like your beast face more." I teased him. He pouted and shove his face closer to me. My eyes almost crossed for a second.

"What? Are you blind? Look harder and tell me I'm handsome." I shoved his face away from mine. My heart can't take that handsomeness, oh my god.

"O-okay! It's handsome. No need to take my personal space." I stood up, dusting my pants in the process. When Seongwoo tugged my shirt.

"Hey... Are we really dead?" I burst out laughing at him.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Stupid, how do you think I'm still here? We're alive of course." I shook my head, pretending to be disappointed. Ong also stood up.

"What? I'm taller than you?" I suddenly noticed the small height difference. He went closer to me and then motioned his hand to his head to mine.

"So what? It's just a small gap though." I can't believe these are the first thing we're doing after his real form came back.

"Oh you have three moles. How fascinating." I poked the three of them in his face. I can't really focus because my heart is beating so fast it might escape.

"You have an undereye mole, Daniel. You know it looks hot." I blushed really hard when Ong said that. I pushed his shoulders jokingly, hiding my flustered state.

"S-stop it. Let's go inside now, Jisung and the others are worried about you." I held his wrist, tugging him to go inside the castle now.

"Wait, is that Jihoon? Why is he sleeping here?" I looked at Seongwoo confused. "I thought you guys were fighting." Seongwoo took the gun from Jihoon's hands.

"He might wake up soon. Can't let him make a fuss later." I just nodded as I turned my back to him.

"Uhh... Daniel." I heard Seongwoo call me.

"Yes?" I turned to look at him again. He was fiddling with his hands. Why does he look cute when he's shy?

"Earlier... When I asked you to hug me. I really wanted to ask you to kiss me. But I think I was too ugly and hairy." Red crept upto Ong's face. I smirked.

"Kiss you? Thought you'd never ask." I went closer to him. I cupped his face and looked into his lovely eyes.

"Ong Seongwoo, I Kang Daniel really loves you. I won't leave you, understand?" Seongwoo nodded, his eyes fixated in mine. Seongwoo closed the gap with his lips touching mine. It felt surreal, like this was once in a lifetime.

When our kiss ended, he smirked. "Ahh, look who's inexperienced." I avoided his teasing gaze and rubbed my nape.

"S-shut up. It's my first time with a jerk." I run back to the castle before he could even say anything.

"Yah! Daniel wait for m-" Seongwoo and I were in the same state, after seeing the second floor.

"Prince Seongwoo! Our human form came back!" I couldn't recognize the face, but I think it was Guanlin. He's the tallest one.

"Prince Seongwoo!!! You're handsome face is back too!" That guy with a pointy nose hugged Seongwoo.

"Jisung, you still look funny." A shorter guy, I think it's Sungwoon, shook his head.

"Whatever Sungwoon! And you're still short!" I couldn't help but look dumb founded at the corner here, because I can't recognize all of them. Also, why do they look all so fine.

"Daniel hyung! It's because of you that we turned back into our real forms!" The purpled hair boy came and hugged me. I recognized his voice.

"Daehwi? You look cute! And why is it because of me?" Jinyoung came and pulled Daehwi from his hug.

"Because of True Love!" The boy with snaggletooth exclaimed, and all of them nodded.

"True love?" I glanced at Seongwoo who was also looking at me.

"My ship has sailed." The boy with chubby cheeks wiped a fake tear. The fox looking boy beside him caressed his back.

"Can you please introduce yourselves again?" They all laughed but proceeded to introduce theirselves.

I know them starting by Sungwoon being the shortest, Jisung is the oldest, Minhyun the fox look alike because of his eyes, Guanlin the tallest maknae, Woojin is the snaggletooth one, Jaehwan is the chubby cheeks, Jinyoung is the small faced boy and Daehwi the purpled hair 2nd maknae.

I also noticed how the old and dark looking castle turned into a shining one.

"Are we on a TV show?" I suddenly asked myself, but Jisung and the others laughed at me. I pouted, even though I know I don't do good in cute faces.

Seongwoo's arms wrapped around me. He was back hugging me, the others were just smiling in a teasing way.

"Why don't we celebrate this day and throw a party?" Seongwoo suggested. I look at him with questioning eyes.

"I'm really not used to having many people around me. Can this party just between us?" Seongwoo raised a brow and smirked.

"Oh, so you want the party between us two only? Do you think I'm that good looking Daniel?" I blushes at his thought. I pushed him away from me and straighten up.

"T-the fck are you saying? You're not that handsome you know? And you got the wrong thought, I'm suggesting that the party should be just us, including Jisung hyung and the others!" I went beside Jisung hyung as I put my arm around his shoulder. Jisung hyung looked at me before nodding.

"Tch, whatever! Alright! I'll just change my clothes." Ong turned his back on us and went upstairs.

"My parents! They must be worried about me." I suddenly remembered.

"Jaehwan will fetch them. Go change too, Daniel, you stink." I glared at Seongwoo before running to him and hit his head. "I'll go change with you?" I smirked. Seongwoo gulped before his ears turn red, I laughed.

"Joke-" "Let's go. I wanna see those abs right now." My eyes were wide as a ball as Seongwoo pulled me upstairs.

Third person's pov

"God knows what they'll do." Sungwoon said shaking his head. Woojin coughed like the madman he is.

"My children grows so fast." Jisung wiped a fake tear, slowly clasping his hands together.

"We should clean up this mess." Minhyun eyed the whole castle. His headache worsen as he think about the lazy members not helping him.

"Sungwoon hyung, since you're a hyung you should help me. Jisung hyung too." The two older boys couldn't resist the younger one. They started cleaning the whole castle since it was messed up by the police.

"WHERE'S THE BEAST!?" A frantic boy came down the stairs. His head looking left and right, searching the beast.

"What beast are you talking about? And who are you?" A taller boy asked him. Jihoon glared at the boy.

"The furry beast! He was with me at the rooftop earlier! Who are YOU?" Jihoon poked the boys chest as he asked 'who are you'. The taller boy caught his hands and pulled Jihoon closer.

"Look here, mister. There's no beast here. You must be dreaming. And for your information, you don't get to poke me. The names Lai Guanlin." Guanlin pushed Jihoon away from him. Jihoon continued to stare at Guanlin, still wasn't able to comprehend what happened.

"But... I swear! There's a beast here. We even fought, he knocked me down even though I shot him 2 times." Jihoon grabbed a fistful of his hair, mentally debating what really happened.

"YOU SHOT WHO!?" Guanlin couldn't control his temper when he heard that the Prince was shot. He grabbed Jihoon's collar. Woojin noticed the commotion and calmed Guanlin.

"Guanlin, calm down. Who's this stranger your holding?" Woojin stared at the innocent looking boy. He has bruises in his beautiful face.

"This man here shot our prince!" Guanlin hissed lowly for Jihoon to hear. Woojin's eyes widen.

"T-this innocent looking man? How come our Prince looks totally fine earlier when he came down." The younger felt relieved when he remembered the Prince's state.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Woojin asked the smaller boy.

"I'm Park Jihoon, Kang Daniel's ex."

"What the fuck!?" A salty boy enters.

"Jinyoung, your language!" Woojin snarled. Jinyoung only looked at Jihoon with bitterness.

"He has our Prince now. How did you find this place you motherfcker?" Guanlin was even more surprised at Jinyoung respond.

"Jinyoung hyung, calm the fck down. Chill." The taller maknae insisted, as he puts a hand in Jinyoung's shoulder.

"What's happening here children?" A wild hen came. It's Jisung, who am I kidding?

"Mom, this Jihoon boy here hurt our Prince." Jinyoung reported. Jisung's eyes quickly diverted to Jihoon who's sweating from nervousness.

"Look... I didn't mean to hurt that beast. I just wanted Daniel-hyung back so bad. I'm not really sadistic, I'm just protective of Daniel-hyung." Jihoon explained without breathing. Jisung eyed the boy still untrusted.

"And why should we trust your words?" The oldest asked the almost fidgeting boy.

"I-I like someone else now." Jihoon cleared his throat before blushing. He glanced at Guanlin who was staring at him with intensity.

"Aha! You like Guanlin!" Woojin exclaims as he caught Jihoon looking at the younger boy.

"N-no... Maybe." Jihoon run quickly after slightly confessing at his love at first sight.

"Oh look he left his shoe." Guanlin picks the shoe Jihoon left. Guanlin's heart wasn't stable for a moment.

"Someone's inlove." Jisung teased the baby chick. Guanlin scoffed.

"Who would be inlove with someone who hurt the Prince?" Daehwi came in and shouted. "LAI GUANLIN!"

"Oh look my boyfriend came in at the right time." Jinyoung approaches Daehwi and asked for a hug that Daehwi quickly said no to.

"Ahh Woojin-ah when will you have your own love life?" The younger boy only stared at him like he was talking about being serious.

.

"Where's my son's boyfriend?" A worried mother came into the castle with his calm husband. Minhyun being the proper one, approached the guest and welcomed them in.

"Are you perhaps my son Daniel's boyfriend?" Mother Kang asked eyeing the Prince like Minhyun. Minhyun smiled kindly before shaking his head.

"No Mrs. Kang. I'm Hwang Minhyun, a butler here. Prince Seongwoo is the owner of this castle." Father Kang wandered his eyes around the almost sparkling from cleanliness castle.

"This... Is a castle? And we have a Prince?" Daniel's father said almost choking on his own saliva. Minhyun nodded before standing up.

"The Prince and his boyfriend is here. Let's bow our head as respect." They bowed their head to the Prince at the middle.

"Rise up." Minhyun said and they all rised.

"Why did they bow to us? Should I bow too, Seongwoo-ah?" A curious cat boy named Daniel asked Seongwoo in a whisper. Seongwoo couldn't help but laugh at Daniel's innocence.

"No, Daniel you don't need to. I'm your Prince remember?" Seongwoo attempted a fail wink. God how it looked so unnatural, that Daniel laughed too.

Seongwoo faced forward, smiling. "My name is Ong Seongwoo, not Hong Seongwoo. Ong Seongwoo, not Gong Seongwoo. But also known as Prince Seongwoo." Jisung and the 7 other's clapped their hands including Daniel's parents.

"Mom? Dad?" Daniel broke from Seongwoo arms in his waist. He hugged his parents a bit teary, he was thankful that they're safe.

"Daniel son, we're so proud of you. Snatching a Prince's heart while we weren't around. Thank you son for being a good one. We love you." Daniel's mom said crying in her son's arms.

"Son, what makes you happy. Make us happy." Daniel's dad said shortly before tapping his son's shoulder.

"Thank you for accepting our relationship Mr. Kang and Mrs. Kang." Seongwoo approached them and bowed.

"It's our pleasure to see you two get married." Father Kang said before laughing proudly. Daniel can choke on his saliva.

"Thank you, Prince Seongwoo for taking care of our Daniel. You can call us Mom and Dad too." Mrs. Kang said hugging Seongwoo.

After the small introduction to Daniel's parents. "Can I have this dance, Kang Daniel-ssi?" Daniel fanned his face with his hands before taking Seongwoo's hands.

"Sure, Ong Seongwoo-ssi." They laughed at their corny act as strangers. The dance went smooth with the other's dancing too.

Jaehwan with Minhyun, Daehwi with Jinyoung, Sungwoon with Jisung, and an awkward Guanlin with another awkward Woojin. Including Daniel's parents.

When the song ended. Seongwoo leaded Daniel to the center of the ball room.

Seongwoo kneeled still holding Daniel's hands. Daniel looked at Seongwoo with almost heart eyes. Their hearts beating so fast like it was gonna burst.

"Kang Daniel... Or should I say Kang Euigeon." The room was filled with shocked gasped. Even Daniel himself was shocked that Seongwoo knew.

"Just go with Daniel please." The standing boy coughed, blushing in embarassment.

"Ong Daniel then." Daniel's eyes widen, his heart beated even more faster he didn't know if could beat faster than this. It was deafening.

"Will you be my husband forever?" Seongwoo finally asked.

"Yes, I'll be your husband forever, Ong Seongwoo." And with another 'Yes' from Seongwoo they kissed with their happily ever after.

The End
