The 8 Princes {On hold}

23

When Mingi woke up he found that he was in a bedroom and wearing a different dress. Mingi smiled as he looked in the mirror and slipped on some pink heels that were beside the bed and placed the crown on his head.

Mingi wearily walked out the door. Mingi walked down the hallway and into what seemed to be a hall. "Hi Mingi" said a girl coming round the corner. Mingi waved. "Shall I take you to Yunho?" She asked. Mingi nodded. The girl led him down a few more hallways and into a small room. There sat on a cute beanbag was Yunho on the phone. Mingi walked over and Yunho patted the space next to him. Mingi say down and snuggled up to Yunho. The elder smiled and held him close. Once Yunho had put the phone down he said "I told your family you're safe. They're going to pick you up this morning" said Yunho.

Mingi frowned and nodded. 'Im hungry, may I have something to eat?' signed Mingi. "Of course, come on" said Yunho taking Mingis hand and intertwining their fingers as Yunho led Mingi to the kitchen. Yunho made breakfast whilst Mingi sat at the kitchen table. Once breakfast was ready Yunho served it up and they did their little prayers before tucking in. 'Thank you for everything Yunho' signed Mingi. 'Its ok. I wish you could stay longer' signed Yunho. Mingi nodded agreeing. The two ate breakfast and Yunho made sure Mingi had had enough to eat and drink before giving more cuddles until someone arrived and picked him up.

"Yunho, Mingis mother and brother is here to collect him" said Hyerim. "He's asleep do you want to bring them in" said Yunho. She nodded and lead Mingis mother and brother in to the room. "Thank you so much Yunho hyung" said Kyungil. "Yes thank you so much dear" said the queen. "It's ok. Min, Mingi wake up your mum and brother is here" said Yunho shaking Mingi gently. Mingi slowly woke up and clung onto Yunho trying to go back to sleep. "Come on Minnie you have to wake up now" said Yunho. Mingi woke up and sat up. "Hey sweetie" said his mother. 'Im sorry mum. I didn't mean to do it' signed Mingi bursting into tears. "It's ok sweetie you only did it to defend me. If it wasn't for you I could have been seriously injured. Nobody is angry at you I promise. But you've been missing for three months and we've all been so worried" said his mum.

Mingi stood up and hugged her tight. Yunho rubbed Mingis back. Kyungil was also in tears so Yunho hugged him to calm him down. "I missed you so much Minnie" said Kyungil hugging Mingi. 'Im sorry' signed Mingi. "Don't apologise Min" said Kyungil. 'Thank you Yunho' signed Mingi. Yunho smiled and hugged him. "Don't go running away anymore ok. If you need a break then text me and I'll take you out for the day ok" said Yunho. Mingi nodded and hugged him once more. 'Ill see you soon Yunnie' signed Mingi. Yunho nodded and kissed Mingis forehead. "Come on Minnie let's go home" said Kyungil taking Mingis hand. "Thank you Yunho. This means alot to us" said the queen hugging Yunho.

"No problem your majesty. He has a beautiful voice" said Yunho. "You heard him?" Asked the queen surprised. "I was out looking for him and so I decided to start singing whilst I looked around. Mingi came out from behind a tree and joined in singing. But at the end of the song he was so overwhelmed and malnourished and he collapsed" said Yunho. "When he woke up he was mute again" said Yunho smiling. "Ok well thank you Yunho for everything. I can see how much you care about him and I know he feels the same" said the queen bowing. Yunho bowed back and led her out. Mingi was half asleep on Kyungils horse. The queen climbed on hers and waved goodbye. Yunho waved back. That night was the first night Yunho had managed to get to sleep properly without worrying about the younger.

It had been three and a half months since the war started. San decided he was going to talk to Wooyoung. San rang him up and asked if he could come around. Wooyoung agreed and made his way to sans palace. When he got there he saw Jongho talking to Jinri. Both wore pretty dresses. Wooyoung was surprised at what Jongho wore but bowed nonetheless and continued to Sans room. The two bowed back. Wooyoung knocked on the door and San opened it allowing him in. "It's been a while" said Wooyoung. "I know. I'm sorry it took me so long. I've had plenty of time to think and... I want to be a father to the baby" said San. "Really" said Wooyoung happily.

"Yes but you have to understand it's going to take me a while to fully trust you again" said San. "I understand. Thank you for giving me a second chance" said Wooyoung hugging him happily. San slowly leaned in kissing Wooyoung softly. Wooyoung kissed back. "Can I see?" Asked San. Wooyoung nodded and sat down lifting his jumper to show his small bump. San smiled and placed his hand on top. San felt a small kick to his hand. "That's the first time it's done that" said Wooyoung surprised. San smiled and caressed Wooyoungs bump. Part of him wondered if Jongho had felt their baby kick yet but quickly brushed the thought away and focused on Wooyoung.

"I had a phone call from Jiyoung the other day" said Jinri as her and Jongho walked through the gardens. Jongho had worn a dress to try and hide his bump. Their parents still didn't know about the baby and Jongho planned to keep it that way for now. "As in Kang Jiyoung?" Asked Jongho. Jinri nodded. "She said that Yeosang was missing you" said Jinri.
