Hyunjin was enjoying the attention he was getting. The students practically threw themselves at him, they found any excuse to talk to the prince, even the teachers praised him, even though they knew he was wrong in some questions. Hwang was loving it all.
At break time, he went to the cafeteria with Changbin. Before, he didn't want to be near any commoner, but now he was getting used to the short guy behind him. Upon entering the cafeteria, he saw his brother sitting at a table along with Felix and two other boys.
Jisung saw his brother and waved at him, asking the older one to sit with him and his friends. Hyunjin sighed, but still went to sit beside his brother, and of course, Changbin went after him.
— Hi, Hyun. — Jisung smiles. — You already made a friend, how nice.
— He's not my friend, he just follows me. — Hyunjin says, not caring if Seo was listening.
— Oh, ok... — Jisung pouted. He really had believed that his brother had made a friend. — These are my new friends, Minho and Seungmin.
— It's a pleasure to meet you, your Majesty. — The two boys bow to the prince. Hyunjin was surprised by his brother's ability to make friends so quickly, but unfortunately, with people so poor.
— Minho is older than us, he's in his senior year. — Jisung comments.
— And how did you meet him, then? — The brother asks, pretending interest.
— He's Felix's brother. — He points to the blonde who was quiet until the moment.
Hyunjin had already noticed how Lee's posture changes in his presence, when he's alone with Jisung, he's happy, playful and spontaneous, but when Hyunjin is close, Felix is quiet and doesn't even lift his head to look at him in the eyes. Hwang liked that.
— And how did you meet this other one? — Hyunjin asks, looking at the boy with black hair.
— We bumped into each other, he looks like a puppy, doesn't he? — Jisung says, leaving his friend, Seungmin, embarrassed.
— And how did you meet... What's your name? — Jisung asks, looking at the short boy.
— Seo Changbin, your Majesty.
— What a cute name. — He smiles. — And don't call me Majesty, I don't feel comfortable being called that.
— And what should I call you, prince? — Changbin asks.
— By my name. — Jisung says, making his brother roll his eyes. — Lix, why are you so quiet?
— It's nothing... — It's obvious it was something. Everyone could see how Felix felt uncomfortable in the presence of the eldest prince. — I'm just feeling a little sick.
— Do you want me to take you to the infirmary? — Jisung asks, worried.
— Let me, I'll take him. — Minho gets up and pulls his brother along with him. — See you later, squirrel. — Lee winks at Jisung before leaving, walking beside his younger brother.
— Squirrel? — Hyunjin asks his brother, who had his cheeks completely red.
— It's the nickname Minho gave me, he says I'm cute like a squirrel. — Jisung says. — Do you think dad will let my friends come over after school?
— Do you want to take more commoners inside our castle?
— They're my friends, and if you want, Changbin can go too. — Jisung looks at Seo. — Do you want to go to the castle, Changbin?
— Of course, but only if prince Hyunjin wants. — Changbin looks at the prince.
— Okay, but if something goes missing from the castle, you will take full responsibility. — Hyunjin says to his brother before getting up and going out of the cafeteria, along with Changbin.
