Joshua:
I woke up a little earlier than Jeonghan, Which was normal. Younwon came in earlier that there was breakfast going to be held at the throne room along with the boys who I met yesterday.
I went to wake Jeonghan up before we head downstairs. I shook his fragile body as he flutters his eyes open. Gosh, He sleeps so loudly sometimes.
"Wake up Jeonghan! Breakfast is ready." He groans and sat up running his finger through his hair.
"It's morning already?"
"Yes, Now get up and get ready. We'll be having breakfast with the others." I said while putting on the vest. You know... Just in case...
"Fine." He stood up and went to get dressed. Something came into my mind which made me curious. It was Jeonghan going out late at night.
"Jeonghan," He replied with a soft hum and faces me. I teasingly gave him a grin. "Who were you talking to last night?"
I heard him walk out the door last night which woke me up. I was so curious about where he went. And he returned right after I heard someone talking outside the bedroom door. It sounded like a male. So, I decided to tease him a little.
"Oh So-Yah, don't get the wrong idea." He said putting on the necklace mother had given him once we were little. Well, I have one too, but I kept it safe somewhere in my closet.
"Then? Just tell me who is it?" He sighs and looked me in the eyes.
"Seungcheol," I tried not to tease him and giggle. "Well, I saw him in the garden patrolling last night... And he decided to keep me company." He said calmly.
"Sounds Nice... Seungcheol? As in the werewolf?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
"Yes," He nods and looked back into the mirror.
"I heard from father he was one of the alpha's in the group." I yawned feeling a little drowsy. Jeez, I shouldn't have waited for him to come back last night. "I guess it's a match."
Jeonghan looked down on the ground, probably in his thoughts. I wonder what's he's thinking.
"I don't think that match is going to happen."
"Yet." I teased making him groan.
"Let's just go." He said as we both went out of the room.
We went down checking out if the workers are doing fine. And then, something came to my mind... I wonder how's the human boy doing. His name is Chan I assume?
"Good Morning my sons! Come, have a seat." Father greeted with a bright smile.
Me and Jeonghan sat on the chair and looked at the amazing feast the workers have made us. Jeonghan sat in front of Seungcheol who was talking to Mingyu. I gave him a cheekily smile earning eye rolls from him.
I look beside me to see the human boy, Chan. I smiled at him as he just stared at me in amazement.
"Good Morning, Chan. How are you holding up?" I ask fuzzing his hair.
"It's Fine, Uh- Er-" I chuckle, He is quite adorable.
"It's Jisoo, But you can call me Joshua." I smile as he smiled back. I guess he's getting used to our world, yet he still has much more to learn if he is staying here for a little.
"Alright, Jisoo hyung... A-A pleasure to meet you..." He said shaking. Aigoo... Jeonghan's going to freak out how adorable this human is!
"Aigoo... So adorable! Don't worry about staying in this world. We aren't what you think we are." I can feel him sighing in relief. But I wonder... What if he's not even human? From what we saw when we captured him... Blue smoke came out. And for I know, humans don't do that.
"Jisoo my dear," Someone called out for my name making me snap back into reality. I looked to see father looking at me with a smile. "Could you go find Seokmin and tell him breakfast is ready?"
I didn't ask any more questions and stood up walking away. Hey, Is Seokmin the siren? Ah, yes! The talented one... I wonder, How does his voice sound like? Is it soothing? Calming? Quite a young lad as well.
Wait, What am I thinking? I shook my head as well as my thoughts. And continued to find that Seokmin kid. Now... Where could he be off to?
I checked his room he shared with Soonyoung but he wasn't there. I checked pretty much checked the upper garden too. I didn't know why but my feet led me to the 1st-floor garden. And luck was on my side because I saw him there, sitting on the edge of the fountain with his feet soaking in.
Quite peculiar you say, of course. He is a siren after all. What I didn't notice was, he was singing a lovely song. I hid behind one of the doors listening. Well, this is not weird at all-more like curiosity got the best of me.

A little more
Time goes by, oh
Woo hoo I can understand you
My love, my love, my love
My darling
Please don't let go of
your tightly held my hand
When I grow up
I thought it would be different...
I didn't know... Sirens can sing that beautifully! Am I getting hypnotized? For all I know, I can't get hypnotized by his kind. But why do I feel like... My feet are bringing me closer to him.
I stopped to see I was getting close! Oh Gosh... What are you doing Jisoo? Suddenly, My feet started to walk on their own again.
The Siren stopped singing making me froze, I didn't even notice I was standing behind him. Inches away!
"What brings you here my prince? Do you like watching me sing?" He looked over his shoulder with a grin.
I felt my cheeks heating up as my eyes grew wider. Did he know that I was watching him? Was he the one who pulled me closer?
"You- I-" I huffed and smiled. "Breakfast is ready Seokmin, Come join us."
He brightly smiled at me and patted the space beside him. I didn't know why but I sat down beside him. Silence filled the atmosphere, not awkward but comfortable.
"You have a very beautiful voice, Quite unique," I said fiddling with my fingers. It was the first time talking to a siren. Or for anyone else out of the kingdom.
"You think so?" I call feel him smiling at me, and I got to admit... He's pretty handsome too when he smiles. "Thank you, my prince."
Silence engulfed us once again.
"It's very pretty here," He said out of the blue. I hummed in response. To be honest it is very beautiful here in the kingdom. Nature has taken over it. "But not as beautiful as the youngest prince here."
I chuckle. This Siren is quite silly! He knows how to put a smile on a creature's face. Let's play along, shall we?
"What?" I smirked and snicker. "You say my brother isn't beautiful? How dare you!" I played along. He burst out of laugher making me chuckle.
"No, No, No," I looked at him making out eyes meet. He is a very handsome lad... I can almost see his eyes shining. "It's just... I liked you more."
He calmly said making me surprised. A very flirty siren, eh? I can feel my cheeks heat up. If it's true or not... Don't fall for his trick Joshua! He's just those tricky Sirens.
"Your majesty," We both looked back to see one of the royal guards, Probably on his patrol. "The king asked for your presence."
I nodded and grabbed the Siren's hand and dragged him into the throne room where everyone was gathered.

Joshua and Seokmin arrived at the throne room to see that everyone was looking at them weirdly. Joshua noticed his hand was still clung onto the younger. He removed his hand off and nervously laughs.
They both got into their respective seats. Joshua sat beside his older brother earning a teasingly nudge on the elbow and a grin. Joshua just shushed him as they began eating.
"My dear boys," The king called out grabbing their attention. "Tomorrow, You will be visiting my good friend, The wizard!"
"You mean uncle Howl father? But he lives miles away... Out of our kingdom's territory! He lives in the Grass forest, my father!" The older prince exclaims with his eyes widen.
"Yes, Jeonghan."
"But our king, Isn't it very dangerous there for both of the princes'?" The dwarf exclaims making the king smile.
"Yes, It is why I will be giving the omegas alphas so they can be protected!"
"WHAT!?"
