"I will stay with you forever, like a sunflower"
This is Love - Super Junior

    It has been 3 weeks since Ohm's relationship with Fluke got reported. His life had changed a lot. Those reporters have been following him everywhere when they have their hands on his license plate. It was his fault in the first place, providing such crucial information to them. Ohm still remembered the nightmare.

    That day he had to go get grocery for his empty fridge. Ohm wore a hat and his near-sighted glasses, that he had long abandoned thanks to contact lenses, to cover his face, hoping no one would recognize him. He was leisurely shopping around and didn't realize some young girls have photographed him and posted it on Twitter. Once those thirsty reporters knew his location. They hurriedly went to the supermarket. He was waiting to check out and that was when those reporters slammed into the market. They were like flies swarming around food. Ohm was completely stuck within them. They kept asking questions about him and the Second Prince. He kept silence completely the whole time. After the check out, he tries to head out to the parking lot. Usually it would take only 10 minutes for him to head out and load his grocery into the car. However, it took 40 minutes that day. They surrounded him closely, completely disregard the so-called personal space. Ohm still got goosebumps thinking about it.

    Therefore, Ohm and Fluke have stopped going on dates; but, only contact each other through phones. Those reporters couldn't have anything worthy to post. Yet, they still following him hoping to catch something. In addition, they got hands on his background, digging into his family. His parents live an hour away from the capital. Those reporters start to follow them, trying to capture anything to write.

     Ohm came from a middle class family. His mother is a biology scientist. His father is a computer engineer, owning a company. They live in a gated community. Some reporters were so desperate, they illegally camped out in front of the house. His parents or the neighbor reported them to the police a few times. Ohm felt bad for his parents. He didn't care if they surround him, but it bothers him when they even follow his parents.

    Unlike Ohm, his parents are pretty cool about the whole situation. They support his relationship as long as Ohm is happy. Honestly, Ohm is pretty dull in his parents' eyes. They think he is too quiet and cold. It is such an interesting sight to see Ohm being so warm toward Fluke in those pictures. His parents don't mind seeing the change in their son. They have been giving Ohm encouragement to stay strong when the scandal broke. Ohm is really thankful for his parents.

    In the Royal Palace, the King and Queen also realized a change in their second child. They have seen Fluke behaved better. He is always focused on his tasks when they assigned him to plan events. He is always on time to social events instead of being tardy like before. They can guess the changes must be somewhat from Ohm. Thus, the King and Queen decided to invite Ohm over to the Royal Palace for dinner to know more about him. Fluke was so excited when his parents told him to send their invitation to Ohm. That night when Fluke and Ohm have their usual video chat. He was beaming the whole call.

    Ohm had picked his outfit the night before. He had called his parents to help him. After a small argument between his parents, they decided to pick a black suit with white stripes over a black shirt. After he finished styling his hair, he looks at himself in the mirror, searching for anything that doesn't look good. He is meeting the leader of the country, not only that, they are the parents of his boyfriend. He can't look unsophisticated in front of them. Thankfully, everything seems to be in place. He takes a deep breath and heads out.

    All the reporters in front of Ohm's building are lucky today. After days of following Ohm, they finally catch the fish, a big one. At 5:30 p.m. sharp, a black Cadillac arrived at the front of the building, followed by another black vans. The car's license place is yellow, indicating that it belongs to the Royal Family. Those reporters almost dropped their jaws. None of them expect something like this.

    Then, 6 security guards step out from the van. They head toward the front door of the building, forming two rows on both sides of the door. At that moment, Ohm steps out from the elevator into the building's lobby, he elegantly stride toward the glass door. He can already see the mess outside. All the reporters got their equipments at the ready, waiting to catch the "fish."

    Ohm steps into the chaos, the 6 security guards forming a circle around him, blocking away all the reporters. Despite that, they are still firing their questions at him.

    "Mr. Thitiwat, why is the Palace's security guards picking you up?"
    "Mr. Thitiwat, are you meeting the King and Queen as the Second Prince's boyfriend?"
    "Mr. Thitiwat, how long is your relationship with the Prince?"
    And a tons of other questions.

    Ohm's ear is ringing from the shutter of the cameras and the yelling of all the reporters. Thankfully, he gets into the car before his ears could bleed. He can't help but feel relieved for the security guards. It would have take much longer without them. Once everything is settled, they start to head toward the Royal Palace. Some of the reporters have also follow them.

    20 minutes later, they arrived at the Royal Palace. Ohm steps out of the car and follows the security guard who had drove with him in the same car. He goes through the security protocol for anyone who come to the Palace. Then, he is lead into the waiting room. Not too long after, Fluke comes inside.

    After 3 weeks of only talking on the phone, they have been missing each other. Ohm pulls Fluke into his warm embrace, compensating all the times they couldn't see each other. Fluke didn't expect his boyfriend to be clingy like this. He giggles.

    "Why are you smiling?" Ohm pulls away a little to look at Fluke's face, asking his boyfriend.

    "Nothing.... I missed you!" Fluke responses, staring into Ohm's eyes with his puppy eyes.

    Ohm smiles, looking closely at his boyfriend's face. They video-call each other almost everyday; but, it can't compare to seeing this person in reality. The last few sunlight shines into the room, casting its golden color on Fluke's face, making it even more beautiful. Ohm can't take his eyes off, observing every little details. His heart is beating even faster now. He can't believe the man in front of him is his boyfriend.

    "Ohm~~~ You are crushing me." Fluke whines, Ohm is hurting him a little.

    "I'm sorry!" Ohm loosen his hands a little.

    Fluke pushes him away a little, "Let's me show you around while we are heading to the dining room. We have some time before the dinner start."

    "Anywhere you want me to go, Your Highness!" Ohm answers. He intertwines their fingers together and steps out with Fluke.

    Fluke shows him around the Palace, from reading room to the Grand Hall. The Royal Palace is pretty big. Fluke can only show Ohm a part of it when they are on their way to the dining room. He can't stop his chatter, telling Ohm some of his childhood moments at certain places. The hallway where he used to roller skates (of course, he was heavily scolded by his mother and nanny); the wall that he and Earth used as a canvas; his favorite place to hide when he played hide-and-seek. Ohm is happy to hear all of those stories. He is glad that his boyfriend is sharing those memories with him. He wants to learn more about Fluke.

    After about 30 minutes of walking around, they finally reach the dining room. Fluke had informed Ohm that Earth's boyfriend will also be there. As expected, when they arrived, Kao is already sitting with Earth on one side of the table. They are in deep conversation, failing to realized the arrival of the couple.

    "Get a room, you guys." Fluke speaks up, teasing his two favorite people.

Kao and Earth look over to the entrance, ending their conversation. "And you don't need one as well?" Earth mockingly responses with a question. His eyes darting to the intertwined hands of the couple in front of him.

    "Your Highness and My Lord." Ohm quickly pays his respect to Kao and Earth. Honestly, Fluke taught him how to greet Kao a moment ago. Beside the King, Queen, and the two Princes, Ohm has no idea on how to greet other Royals. It's too complicated for him. He needs a course in Royal 101.

    "Just call us Earth and Kao when we are in private." Earth smiles in response to Ohm's respect.

    "Finally I get to meet the person who can calm the troublemaker." Kao, on the other hand, teases Fluke.

    "Hey!!! I'm a good person." Fluke retorts back, his face is a little red from the teasing. The other three people are enjoying Fluke's reaction, laughing.

    "What are you all laughing so happily about?" Comes the booming, deep voice.

    Fluke and Ohm turn around. Standing behind them is the King and Queen of Alethea. Ohm releases Fluke's hand to give his respect, bowing his head.

"Greeting, Your Majesties!"

    "Ah! The guest has arrived. You are dismissed from respect." The King speaks. (A/N: I honestly don't know what a king would say to pardon his subject from bowing. Please endure my mistake here.)

    Ohm raises his head up, "Thank you for sending an invite to me. It's an honor to be here tonight."

    "Well, it's more of us saying thank you to you for saving my son's life." The Queen speaks this time, giving Ohm a gentle smile.

    "Let's seat!" The King moves toward the table with his Queen. Although the King holds the highest position in the country; but, in family setting, he is a gentleman. He leads the Queen to her chair at one end of the table, moving it a little for the Queen to sit down. Then, he heads to the other end of the table where his seat is located. Ohm and Fluke also follow and sit across from Kao and Earth. The dining room they are using is a small dining room, used only by the Royal Family. Therefore, it is pretty cozy.

    When everyone is settled, the maids start to move around, filling glasses and putting the appetizers on the table. They start to dine while talking. The King asks Ohm about his family, his parents' jobs, where he had grew up, his education, etc. Ohm calmly answers all the questions. He pretty sure the King has his background report. As a true leader, the King also ask about Ohm's view on the medicare welfare system of the country, how to improve the system for the citizens. The conversation then shifts to how to use computer technology for the military. The King knows how to make everyone involve into the conversation. Tonight, he is even more committed to make Kao and Ohm talk more about their field, observing and analyzing everything they said. He is taking notes on the two men, both as a leader and as a father.

    "Enough with all the boring talks, you are making them really tense, Tan." The Queen softly reminds her husband. She knows he is carried away on his analysis.

    The Queen wasn't wrong on her observation. Ohm is sweating. He is so nervous. Who wouldn't be in front of the King. Every time he answers a question, he has to make sure that his honest opinion is not offensive. He doesn't want to look bad in front of the King. As a doctor, he spoke his honest opinion when the King ask him about the medical field. It's not easy to have such opportunity to talk about his opinions directly to the King. An opportunity that many people wish for.

    "So, How is our Fluke to you?" The Queen who just saved Ohm, suddenly dropped another bomb. This question is the hardest, comparing to all the King's questions.

    Ohm is quiet for a little bit, trying to gather his thought. He then says, "He is childish, stubborn, a little spoil,..."

    "Ohm!" Fluke cuts his boyfriend, giving him an "Are you serious?" look. Some of the maids also have the shock look.
Ignoring all that, Ohm gives Fluke a gentle gaze, then continue, "but he is cute, friendly, honest, bright, and have a warm heart."

    The King, Queen, and Earth laughing out loud. "I really like your honesty, young man." The King says.

    "I guess you know what you signed yourself up to." Earth speaks this time, teasing them.

    "I'm glad you can see all that in my son. It had been awhile seeing someone so honest in front of us without scaring for their life." The Queen warmly responses, approving the doctor in front of her.

    She can confidently confirm that Ohm could make her child more mature. Her second son is her wild card. He is always behaving wildly, ignoring all the etiquettes. It has been nice to see her son became mature lately, completed all his responsibilities perfectly. She would not mind to have Ohm into the Royal Family. Of course, she would not say this out loud. She wants to test Ohm more.

    "However, you know it is hard to be by Fluke's side. You must have realized the last few weeks. People always keep an eyes on us, judging everything we do. You, who might be a good person, will still be judged negatively. Even your family will be heavily criticized. Are you ready for that?" The Queen speaks again, her tone still gentle but firm.

    "Your Majesty, I have thought about all that when I decided to be in this relationship. Our relationship was discovered before we intended too; but, regardless, I already prepared myself. My parents are also supporting me in this. Beside, I don't really care about what others saying about me. As long as my loved ones understand me. That's all that mattered." Ohm confidently says his thoughts. He wants to show Fluke's parents that he can stay by Fluke's side. "I don't know what the future will hold for us. Right now, I want to be with Fluke, giving him support when he need, providing him an extra safe place to lean on when he is weak. I hope both of you, Your Majesties, will trust me." His eyes are determined.

    Fluke had reached out his hand to hold Ohm's hand under the table. He gives it a squeeze, showing gratitude to the man beside him. His heart is beating wildly, listening to Ohm who is trying to get support from his parents. At this moment, even if his parents don't give their support, he would not let this hand go.

    His relationship with Ohm might have been fast-paced in others' eyes. But, when you find the right person, time doesn't matter. What matter is how you love each other. His heart knows that Ohm is the right one for him. Fluke, the Second Prince of Alethea, will hold on to this man even if said man let go.

    "The future is uncertain. Let's time determine your love to each other. I give my blessing to your relationship." The King looks at both of them, giving him his support. Then he turns to Ohm with a warning look, "However, if you prove yourself as unworthy, then I will do everything to stop you from showing your face to my son. Mark my words."

    "I will prove myself to be worthy of his love, Your Majesty!" Ohm answers, his voice doesn't even waver.

    "Ohm, if you break my brother's heart, I will hunt you down, using my own hands to torture you." This time, Earth adds in his threat. He can tell how happy is his brother. It makes him happy too, that his brother had find someone suitable for him.

    Fluke kicks Earth's leg under the table, trying to give him a warning.

    "Ouch!!" However, the person who is in pain is not Earth, but Kao.

    "What? What happened?" Earth turns to Kao, worriedly asking.

    "Someone kicked me." Kao says. Honestly, it didn't hurt that bad. He also knows who did it, but he wants to tease Fluke.

    Earth also knows who did the crime, he turns to Fluke, "How can you protect Ohm against your brother?"

    Fluke was honestly shocked that he kicked Kao's legs. It is impossible because he is sitting directly across from Earth. Unless.... "Hold on! You are sitting across from me and I knew for sure I kicked you. How is it I hit Kao's leg? How are your legs' position down there?"

    After hearing Fluke's question, the King chokes on his wine. Everyone turns their eyes on the couple, even the maids. Earth's face is crimson red and Kao tries to drink his water. They both are trying to avoid the question.

    After awhile, the Queen breaks the awkward atmosphere, "Let's continue eating! Fluke and Earth stop your bickering. we have guests."

    The dinner peacefully passed by. Tonight, the Royal Family has a cozy dinner just like any other family in the world. The winter wind can't cool down the warm atmosphere they are sharing.
