How is this lacking in any shape or form? This was wonderful!!

I could feel the heartbreak from holding on to the last lie (I just wanted to choke Taemin for not telling when he had a chance, making his life that much harder, especially when Minho was open and willing to listen at that time) But I was proud of Taemin for holding his own (first for continue to try and talk with Minho and later knowing when to back off)

Minho was consistently stubborn but so obviously attached and emotional invested in Taemin. To put up with Kibum..... that says alot.

And Jonghyun, was he ever not distracted by food or a pretty face? hence: Kibum's sisters and I get acquainted. They paint my face and like to dress me up, and although my opposition to it has subsided what with having played the role of a woman for months at the palace, does not mean that a little hesitation isn't in order. Kibum joins in sometimes. And Jonghyun likes to hit on me when I am in women's clothing, which I think is disgusting where he finds it comical. but can you blame Jonghyun...Taemin is beautiful as a girl or a boy.

Then Key.......I ALWAYS love your Key!! He had me rolf in here, especially with this part: "Ugh!" The sliding door of the room behind my father is drawn back and there stands Kibum with a bored Jonghyun behind him. Minho and I stare blankly at Kibum, who decides to stomp into the room and join the table by my father's side. Father doesn't seem too surprised. "This is so boring! What are your intentions with his daughter?"

"Son." Father corrects.

"Po-tay-to, po-tah-to." Kibum interjects,

I shrug, "More like potato, mushroom."

"Do not change the subject just because you're the prince."

"I haven't said anything yet." Minho goes cross-eyed while eyeing Kibum's finger darted between his eyes.

"Precisely, now speak up."

"What?"

"Please don't point your finger at the prince like that." I swat Kibum's hand away.

While Jonghyun seems ambivalent as he takes a seat between father and Kibum to pour himself a cup of tea, Kibum goes on to ask some of the most ridiculous things that he might have seen his own father ask when one of his sisters brought boys over to their house.

"How are you planning to support Taemin?"

"… through my riches."

"Oh, so it's all about wealth with you?"

Despite being embarrassed for the rest of my life, I cannot help but be proud of my friends. So I just sit back and enjoy it, raising my cup of tea to clink with Jonghyun's.

Minho's got his work cut out for him. And this one in particular, he cannot challenge to an impromptu sword fight at the garden.

Taemin's love and acceptance of his friends' ways and his wonderful ability to not hold back when it comes to Minho made this story very lovable and very worth the wait!!
