Like that's not his birth mother but they're bantering like friends. I'm soft. Their family is so cute. Which makes it all the more sad when you think about how Lee Nok grew up. His mother died when he was at a young age, the royal nature of his family and him being crown prince already imposes upon him a huge responsibility from the beginning and that might imply his dad and him having a not so very loving relationship. Not to mention his step mother is out for his head, and the politics that goes on in the palace means he always has to look out for his back. When you see it like that, it would be crazy for Nok not to fall for Kyungjoon whose loyalty is with him always. But also, it's very possible that he's mistaken his feelings for kj as romantic love when in reality he's just been needing a family all this time. Jaeshin would then be his first love, and he would also be his last </3
