A sliver haired boy was sleeping peacefully on his mattress. The sun was peeking through the balcony door, its warm ray falling directly on his face, making him stir from his peaceful slumber.
He slowly sat on his bed, eyes scanning his surroundings and sighs. Being a prince come with countless duties.
From outside, His personal called, "prince, it's time for your archery practice! " The fading foot sounds indicated that she had left after announcing his schedule.
With a reluctant sigh, he slowly got out of bed and went to get ready for pratice .

While heeseung was practicing, Mrs .Lee aka Queen, walked towards him with food .
She kept the food on the table, sat on a chair, quietly watching her son's practice .
After a few minutes, heeseung walked over and sat near her ,"hey , ma"
"Hi , yourself baby."
While eating, the king arrived and joined them . Seeing him, Mrs . Lee called a maid and asked her to arrange the food for the king and bring it to them .
The family enjoy the meal together in the garden .
Suddenly , the King asked,"heeseung, have u heard about the famous 6 princes ?."
Heeseung swallowed his food ,"I've heard of them, but not much ,why ?"
The King leaned back in the chair,"they've been friends since childhood and later become lover . They're skilled in everything excepted of Princes. But now, their kingdoms are facing some population and food problem.
Princes thought of creating a new kingdom together. But before that their parents want them to marry one person - someone strong, yet patient and understanding, who will rule alongside with them."
Heeseung narrowed his eye at his father aka king, suspiciously.
The king hesitated before adding."They've asked for your hand in marry"
Mrs . Lee gasped," what ? !" -" that's great news " she smiles excitedly
Heeseung frowned," I thought you were going to scold him ".
She shrugged, "They are all handsome young boys."
The King chuckled at her reply while his son throwing daggers at her with his eyes as she nonchalantly blows on her fingers.
The King cleared his throat, "what do you think about this?"
Heeseung took a deep breath," I dunno what to think. They are lovers. I will just be... Extra in their relationship" playing with his food absent mindedly.
Mrs . Lee took his hand in her ,"i have heard many things about them. They are not some arrogant princes. It will be hard at time - not just for u, but for them to. Try to understand eachother "
Heeseung sighed biting his lip, he wasn't against arrange marriage but this one they are all lover, know eachother since born. Even though it felt complicated, he decided to give it a chance.
"Ok"
Mr . Lee and Mrs. Lee said nothing, observing his thoughtfully.
With renewed determination, Heeseung added confidently ,"I'm positive about this . Let's hope for the best in the end" they also nodded at his words.
____________
With the other princes they were in the garden .
Sunoo shouted ," why do they think we need one more in our relationship?we can handle just fine without anyone else. Why can't they understand this?" . He was damn frustrated with their parents.
None of them were happy with their parents decision.
___________
On the wedding day, neither heeseung nor the princes had seen eachother yet. Today was the first time they were going to meet .
Over the past week , the princes had somewhat cooled down, but they still have no idea how their new relationship would work
The wedding venue had seven door , quite unusual right ? Yes this was one of the reason why their parents insisted on the marriage. According to an ancient legend, there was a famous love story about seven ordinary people who defied social norms and fought for their love and won against the them.
The Princes parents beleived that a relationship involving seven people could work as just beautifully.
They know one day their children's would realise who the missing piece in their relationship.
As the ceremony began, they all walked in through different door, with heeseung entering through the centre one.
They stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the people present in the venue.
Bla bla bla the marriage ceremony was completed
_____
Now, they headed to their new palace , it was their wedding night .
Heeseung felt nervous .
He was dressed in soft night wear , sitting by the window, gazing at the glowing moon that illuminated the dark sky .
The door opened , all he could hear his husbands giggle, but no one approached nor spoke to him . It was going to be tough for everyone, he sighed quietly .
What heeseung dunno was that his husbands were silently admiring him, thinking same angel . Cuz the moon falling on him and it made his sliver hair shimmer and his golden skin glow ethereally.
Without realising it, Heeseung fell asleep while watching the moon .
Jungwon noticed him heeseung asleep by the window and turned to others" don't u guys think that we should give this marriage a chance ? " he asked with some hesitation .
Jay walked over to heeseung and gently lifted him into his arm. Who unconsciously wrapped his arm around his Jay's neck ," I think we should give it a chance " jay agreed, placing heeseung carefully on the large mattress .
The bed was spacious enough for more than seven people, so they all settled in, taking their first step into their new life together.
________
Heeseung groaned in his sleep and slowly opened his eyes , he felt strange about his surroundings
He let out a quite moan as he Shifted, only to notice a arm draped around him. Reality hit him, i am married .
Did they carry him here ? He wounded, gently removing Jake's arm from around him before getting up to start his morning routine .
After freshening up , he went to the kitchen, instructed the maids to prepare breakfast, and gave list of what they should prepare .
Wanting some fresh air , he decided to visit the village, chatting with a few villagers before returning to the palace.
When he came back, he saw his husbands already eating at the dinning table.
Niki noticed him and asked ," where did you went ?"
"Village"
For some reason , Heeseung felt more vulnerable after getting marriage, they didn't even ask me whether i ate or not .... He thought, his lips unconsciously forming a slight pout.
Sunoo saw his slight pout,and in his emotionless voice he asked," should we call you hyung ?"
Heeseung blinked in surprise ," huh ? "
Sunoo sighed ,"u are elder than us. Should we call u hyung ?"
Heeseung softly, "I'm ok with whatever you want to call me"
They all nodded and continued eating.
After eating one by one they left for their respective work .
Heeseung slowly sit down on a chair , left alone in the large, quite.
"Ma , Pa... it was not even been a day, but my chest feeling heavy... how am I going to survive this for the rest of my life? "
While he was in his own head, he didn't notice the maid approaching until she gently set a plate of food infront of him. He offered a faint smile of gratitude before eating him meal, with loneliness as his own companion.
________
Niki threw a stone into the pond and said ,"last night, we decided to give this so called marriage a chance.... but why was it to hard this morning" frustrated with himself .
Sunghoon leaned to the tree ,"we never expected to marry anyone other than us, so accepting the reality is not easy "
Sunoo stared blankly into the distance ,"I don't like his gloomy face, is it strange to feel like this?" he turned towards them .
Jay smiled softly, "no , I think ur heart started liking him before you."
Sunoo frowned at Jay's words, bite his lower lip
A Finger pulled his lip from free,
"don't , it's bleeding now" jungwon murmured before licking the blood from his lip , tasting the metallic taste on his tongue .
Before jungwon could pull away, sunoo capture his lips in a desperate kiss. Between the harsh kiss, jungwon moaned but the sound was swollwed by sunoo .
Meanwhile, Jake , jay and sunghoon were deep in discussion about the kingdom and the matter the people were undergoing .
________
Heeseung came near the pond and a soft smile forming in face at the scene in before him.
At the same time , somewhere deep in his heart desire to be there with them , oneday maybe .
Heeseung saw niki was practicing with his knife. Pretty , his husband was pretty ,he know niki was younger than all and fierce than all .
Niki didn't saw him approaching, so when he sense an intruder, he throw his knife to the intruder's direction . In a reflex heeseung catch it mid air with his hand .
"Hee" niki called out in concern .
Hearing his voice, everyone turned towards them .
Heeseung slowly walked over ,and handing the knife back to niki,"ur parents are here."he announced.
Jake tilted his head ,"why ? "
Heeseung shrugged,"said something about celebration after the marriage"
They all got it why their parents are here .
Jake's eyes widened,"are our cousin also present here? ."
"Ye... " Before heeseung could complete it, they all chorously shout ,"shit."
Heeseung flinched at their sudden outburst .
Jake groaned and shouted at him ,"O God , why did you allow them ?".
Biting his lip at Jake's harsh tone, heeseung asked"why shouldn't I allow them ?".
Jay answered him instead of jake ,"they're devils ! They create problems where ever they go , and they loves to irritate us to the core "
Heeseung poked his cheek with his tongue ,"how does I know about that?" and his gaze hardening as he looking at jake ,"don't shout at me without any reason " with that, he turned and walked away.
Heeseung understood they were stressed but they have no rights to shout at him .
Watching his retreating figure, jake muttered," hot "
Other are looking at him like what the actual Fuck
Feeling their stare he countered ," what ? It was hot ok? He only talked with us so softly that I thought he dunno How to talk fierce , but now... I see he can be when needed"
Jungwon groaned ,"we still have to deal with those devil's now."

When they entered inside , the place was beautifully decorated with flowers and lights .
Their eyes landed on their husband, who was surrounded by their cousins, softly laughing at whatever the devil's were saying .
Seeing them , Felix shouted ," hey bros" don't fall for his angel face he is the pure devil in angel features .
They greated every guest before make their way to heeseung , who carefully avoiding looking directly at jake . So, he had gone back to being soft, huh?.
Even though they had known heeseung for only a day, it feels as if they'd known him personally for decades .
Seeing the tension, the cousins excused them. Despite their mischievous nature, they are not emotionless. They all liked heeseung hyung and genuinely wanted all of them to be happy .
The Boys and the cousins shared a love - hate relationship, their love languages was teasing and annoying eachother endlessly.
Jake stepped closer his heeseung . The latter didn't move from his place , he was not going to avoid him because he shouted at him .
"sorry " jake said softly .
Heeseung's eyes widened, lifting his gaze to only to meet with Jake's apologetic face . "Sorry for shouting at you ". Jake repeated.
Jake extended his hand, heeseung confused at first but after realising that he was asking his hand ,he shyly placed his hand in Jake's .
Heeseung hand was soft against Jake's rougher one. Jake kiss his knuckles , "sorry, prince. We know our relationship was not going to be all roses ... but we'd like to try. Will you give this marriage, and us a chance?."
Heeseung's eye scanning Jake's face and the other hopeful expression. His heart warmed at their sincerity and willingness to give a chance to their marriage. Taking a deep breath, he smiled softly.
" yes. "
Their face lift up with joy, but the moment didn't last long.
Yeji and Ryujin strode over and grabbed heeseung by the elbow," alright, enough romances, boys . It's party time!" Ryujin declared. "He need to get ready , now sho we are taking him with us to ready him for tonight" .
Heeseung looked back at them, like he was asking their permission. They all nodded with small smile. Yeji amd Ryujin fought the urge to roll their eyes at the cliche show going infront of them but couldn't help feeling happy for them .

Party night.
This type of clothing the boys were dressed in , except for heeseung, who hadn't arrived yet .
They were waiting for their husband.
The soft sound violin filled the air , it indicates heeseung was here .
Looking up at the grand staircase, they saw heeseung was walking down gracefully, accompanied by their cousins .
They were mesmerized by how stunning he looked, though heeseung seemed a bit shy because of his attire .
Heeseung subtly tried to cover himself, his gaze lowering bashfully .
The boys quickly approached him , sunghoon narrowed his eyes at the cousins," did u guys forced him to wear this?"
Their cousins were looking everywhere except them .
Before anyone could speak , Heeseung softly interjected ," hey I'm ok with this. Just a bit shy, that's all."
Sunoo still eyed him with suspicious," u sure ?."
"Positive."
Meanwhile, their parents watched their interactions from far, smiling warmly. They were happy with their decision and felt reassured that their children would be fine.
