Jisung looked into his small duffle bag. He had packed all his belongings, which consisted of a couple changes of raggy clothes, the notebook his parents got him for his 16th birthday and his old filthy plushie.
The boy sighed. He didn't own much, but he never realized just how little he owned until he had to pack up all his belongings. His service to the royal family started tomorrow morning. The carriage would be there to pick him up in a few hours, since he lived 5 cities away from the capital of 'Far Far Away'.
"Honey, are you packed?" Mrs. Han shouted from the kitchen.
Jisung picked up his light duffle bag and walked out of his and his parents' shared bedroom.
"Yeah." Jisung answered, putting his bag down by the broken door of their house.
"Great. Come eat dinner with us, honey." Mr. Han said.
Jisung sighed and walked into the kitchen where his mother passed him a plate with a carrot on, and half of a cooked potato.
Jisung's parents had decided to cut down on their usage of food until Jisung had gotten a job at the royal house, since they didn't have any source of income at the moment.
"Come, Jisungie. Let's eat together one last time, ok?" Mrs. Han said, showing Jisung a smile.
It looked like his parents were happy that he was leaving from how widely they smiled, but they simply smiled to keep Jisung's mood up. He had been really down the last week, ever since he had decided to go.
"I'm gonna miss you guys." Jisung said with a chuckle, picking up his carrot.
His fingers seemed to be layered in a permanent layer of dirt, but he didn't mind. He was used to it after all.
"Were gonna miss you too, honey. You have to remember to write us as often as you can." Mrs. Han said with a forced smile.
"Of course. And I'll send you all the money I earn." Jisung said with a smile.
"Oh, God, dear. You dot have to send us it all. Only a little bit. You deserve to keep some of the money for yourself." Mrs. Han said, waving her arms for a second.
Jisung chuckled.
"Don't worry about me mother. I won't be needing the money as much as you. And I will be sending you my whole paycheck." Jisung said, finishing his small carrot.

Minho woke up to his annoying little brother shaking his body awake. Minho slapped Felix's shoulder and rolled over in bed, with a groan.
"What do you want, idiot?" Minho rasped in his morning voice.
"For you to wake up. Woojin and Chan hyung will be here in a couple of hours and Seungmin's fiance is supposed to be here at 12 o'clock sharp, so get your ass up hyung." Felix said.
Minho groaned.
"Why didn't you just send my butler to wake me up. He does it in a better way than you do." Minho grumbled with his face smushed into his pillow.
"You made dad fire your servant, don't you remember? The new duty employees are coming tomorrow so you'll be getting a new servant then." Felix said, walking over to the window to pull the curtains open.
"Oh right. I fired that old bitch." Minho said with a snicker.
Felix rolled his eyes.
"Just get out of bed and get ready." The third son said before exiting Minho's room.
Minho groaned and dragged himself out of bed. He hopped in the shower, before getting dressed and brushing his teeth. The prince dragged his feet down the halls of the castle, not feeling in the mood to greet new people today. He was happy he wasn't the one marrying Seungmin's fiance, because that poor guy would get his hair full if he had met Minho at this state.
Minho ate a quick breakfast before going to the princes' shared living room. Seungmin was sitting comfortably in the chair with his glasses hanging off the bridge of his nose, and his face buried in his history textbook.
Felix and Changbin sat together on the couch across from Seungmin, speaking happily while holding hands.
Changbin wore his uniform, ready to meet Felix's older brother and brother in law.
"Yo." Minho said, slumping down into the chair next to Seungmin's.
"Morning, Min." Seungmin greeted without looking up from his book.
"Good morning your highness." Changbin answered, bowing his head politely.
"Morning bro." Felix answered, chuckling at Changbin's formal greeting.
"Why don't you talk formally to me anymore?" Felix asked his boyfriend with a pout.
Changbin chuckled.
"Because you're my boyfriend. I don't have to be formal with you." Changbin answered.
A maid silently entered the room, telling the boys that Woojin and his husband had arrived.
Everyone stood up and walked towards the main living room, where the maid had told them to go. Changbin held Felix's hand, getting a bit nervous.
Minho entered the room first, smiling as he locked eyes with his brother in law. Minho hurried over to Chan and hugged him happily. Woojin scoffed.
"Choosing him over your own brother, I see how it is Lee Minho." Woojin said in amusement.
"Well he is much better than my brother." Minho answered, breaking the hug with Chan.
Woojin rolled his eyes and went to hug the twins.
Chan and Minho turned to each other and immediately started chatting. They always got along well.
Felix cleared his throat to get Chan and Woojin's attention.
"Guys. This Is my boyfriend. Seo Changbin." Felix proudly said, presenting his boyfriend with hand gestures.
Woojin and Chan smiled and walked over to the two. Changbin looked up at them nervously, not knowing what to expect.
"I'm Kim Woojin. Felix's older brother." Woojin said, bowing towards Changbin.
Changbin immediately bowed back, way deeper than necessary making Woojin giggle.
"And I'm Bang Christopher, but Chan is good." Chan answered, bowing as well.
Changbin bowed again, again, way deeper than what was needed.
"It's an honor to meet you both, your highnesses." Changbin said, bowing again.
"Tell me, Changbin. Do you work here? Your uniform looks familiar." Woojin asked.
Changbin nodded his head and was about to answer when Felix did it for him.
"He's the captain of the archery team. Isn't that cool." Felix said with a wide grin while clinging to Changbin's arm.
Mingho snorted form behind them.
"Felix, you're literally a prince, and a millitary ranking is still impressive to you?" The second-born prince asked.
"It is impressive hyung. I was born this way, while he worked to earn his title. It's an honor to be with him because he worked hard for his title. I'm really proud." Felix said, his bratty voice transforming into an excited one in the middle of his speech.
Minho rolled his eyes and muttered a small 'whatever'.
