The winter had passed just like a long coma, the town slept deeply under a thick layer of snow while its inhabitants let the time go by.
Everyone had gone back to normal, everyone was doing their daily routine, it was just so joyless.
As if the whole town was suffocating by an unbreakable unconsciousness.
Only because someone was missing, their king was missing.
What is a herd of sheep without its shepherd?
The families lived on their own, everyone was minding their own business and Minho's cafe had never felt more lonely even though every table was occupied.
The winter had brought a feeling of coldness and emptiness, never in his entire life Minho had related more to the leafless trees standing all alone in front of his cafe, so exposed and colorless, so lonely.
He missed Seungmin, he missed him so much.
No day had passed without him wishing for the younger to return, for him to enter the cafe, give him a cheeky smile and to ask him for a cup of hot chocolate.
And the only moments the Lee family had where they could let their concerns about Seungmin be for a while were these when they'd lay snuggled up under their blanket with Rosie.
Little white snowflakes making their way down the sky outside, the frost patterns decorating their windows beautifully while they were feeling warm and safe all together.
With their little daughter resting on her appa's torso as she balled her small hands into little fists while drinking quietly.
Felix was most likely to rest his head on Chan's shoulder so he could watch their pup's face perfectly, it was just too precious to watch her fall asleep once she was full.
And all winter they were basically worrying for nothing, Seungmin was doing well.
In Hyunjin's opinion the brunette had never looked healthier and better than now with his little bump, he was really glowing.
Their baby was growing so well and the younger really adored how soft his alpha had gotten.
Of course Hyunjin had always been way more gentle with his precious omega than the average alphas but now with their little one on the way, he treated his mate like Seungmin would break at the slightest touch, he was so careful.
Also he'd make sure his lover was always feeling comfortable and happy, no pain or anything.
But for the omega the cutest thing would always be when Hyunjin talked to their baby and caressed the bump.
The way his eyes always shone so brightly, immediately turning into the glistening clear water of the sea.
Hyunjin would be an amazing dad, that's for sure.
And deep in his heart Seungmin was glad that his mate wasn't as chaotic as Jisung, that would have been one bumpy journey to raise the baby then.
It wasn't like Jisung was a bad daddy, definitely not.
He was amazing with his kids, he was just not really reliable most of the time which might also be a reason why his kids loved him so much.
They were just like him, all of them.
Chaotic, orange-haired and they loved to cuddle with Minho.
But Seungmin needed someone he could always rely on, he needed to be sure that he could always count on his mate.
Because being a prince would of course take some of his time although he promised himself and also his baby that he'd never neglect his family.
Hyunjin and their little baby were his everything, his priority.
He still didn't know why they were having a baby now, he didn't know the reason why he felt so good again after a long time of being so seriously sick.
Also why he went into heat although his body was in such a bad state.
He only knew that it was supposed to be this way.
And as long as Hyunjin was with him, holding him close whenever he needed it, giving him all safety and love, he wouldn't worry.
Because he just felt that everything would be okay, even if the ways aren't always the easiest.
