Chapter 9 - The Festival Incident

"Would you like some tea as well?" Kiren is entering the bedroom asking Kyo Lim who seems awake already.

"Yes thank you..." Kyo gets up and down from the bed. He puts on the clothes and joined Kiren sitting near the window complete with tea cups.

"Any plan today?" Kiren eyes sticking on Kyo's movements, he looks even handsomer in the morning with the sunlights reflect into the room.

"When will your grandfather return from the trip?" Casually take a sip of his tea, Kyo remember about family safeties.

"My grandfather? Maybe next month, or maybe next week...my grandfather's kind of unpredictable" Kiren changes his gaze to the garden outside "Hey, are you still into my grandfather's money?"repeating the questions, he asked once when they're just met.

"Who doesn't want money... Everyone love money" Kyo just answered as he wants

Kiren Lu secretly observes Kyo Lim while having some random thoughts about this stranger in front of him "Geez! You didn't even try to refuse it, how much do you want anyway? I can double the pay if you are really interested" he monologues inside.

"Enough staring at me...tell me what you think" Kyo Lim seductively rubs his toes in between of Kiren Lu's legs.

"Nothing..." Kiren Lu casually removed the seductive leg movement out with his hand. "Would you like to go out tonight? There is festival in the town, a lot of pretty girls, drinks and snacks," Kiren Lu suggested.

"Pretty girls and festival? Sounds great," Kyo Lim just jokingly agree to the suggestion. He doesn't have any interest on picking the girls right now especially after meeting this mesmerising boy in front of him, everything about Kiren Lu just evolving beautifully around Kyo Lim head.

Hearing Kyo Lim answers doesn't make Kiren happy "What a bastard" he curses.

Kyo Lim couldn't hold back when sees Kiren this cute and jealous. Kyo Lim drops on his knees right in front of Kiren's and cutely rubbing his head on Kiren's lap.

"What are you doing?!" Kiren flinched and trying to push Kyo's head away.

"You're so cute" no intention of hiding his honesty, Kyo Lim kept on rubbing his head like a cat to its master.

"Go die!" Kiren Lu pushing Kyo head harder, he blushed.

****

In the evening.

Kiren and Kyo head to the festival, wearing ordinary clothes as common people would wear to the festival.

Their tall figures themselves can attract lots of attention, in order to avoid overwhelming attention, they're choose to wearing comfortable ordinary clothes and add those net hat to hide their face.

Moving from one to another food stands, they couldn't help themselves from buying some snacks to accompanying their night in this festival.

Nearby the most crowded area where the dancers and the music instruments playing loudly, people enjoying the performance while had fun joining the dancers in the middle of the crowd.

"Seems fun" says Kiren glancing at the boy next to him who focusing on the drinks than the performance.

They're sitting in front of one alcohol stand which also packed with people.

"Want to join?" Kyo Lim slowly drink his alcohol.

For the shake of their safety from being bothered by the girls, they drink without taking off the net hat.

"No, I thought you wanted it" bringing back the excitement he saw in Kyo Lim's eyes when he mentioned the festival this morning.

"Woahhh... this drink is great!" Kyo Lim is picking another topics, he kept pouring the drinks endlessly.

Changing the conversation is way out for Kyo Lim but Kiren is annoyed now. He gulped his last drinks and went into the crowd to dance, the girls swamping closer to Kiren's.

Aware of the look Kyo Lim's had on him, Kiren Lu casually pulling one girl into his arm and continues to dance.

The sights are unbearable for Kyo Lim. He roughly put some money on the table and standing up, he wants to get his man out from the crowd.

But he stopped by a girl who is also wearing kind of net hat, sayings "Master Kyo Lim!"

It's quite surprising for Kyo but have no fear in his eyes, without removing the girl's hand he asks "Who are you?"

"I'm Kina, from the H kingdom, can we speak somewhere?" she calmly goes on.

Before uttering his answer, Kyo Lim throw out his sight looking at Kiren Lu direction to make sure that is safe to go with this girl unnoticed.

"Sure, let's go" Kyo Lim walks along in hurry with this girl named Kina.

Unfortunately, when they're turnings their direction out from the crowd festival, Kiren Lu catches their back leaving the festival area.

A fire set in Kiren's heart seeing Kyo Lim is leaving with a girl on his hand, he feels immensely mad and stupid, thinking that Kyo Lim would jealous and came after him in the middle of this packed dancing people.

"I must be crazy to think that he had interested in me, ha ha ha... I'm surely a moron," he muttered.

Kiren Lu madly opens his hat net, grabbing few girls hands and bring them homes.

Meanwhile in a calm hostel room, Kyo Lim is sitting face to face with Kina.

"Speak..." He says.

Opening her hat, the girl named Kina pouring in the warm ginger tea for both of them into these beautiful tea cups.

"About a week ago, I got a call from prime minister Ding people, I went to meet him personally and he wanted me to deliver the king's message to master Kyo Lim"

No surprise in Kyo Lim face, he has a feeling about this already since one of those bandits slipped from his sword.

"What is the message?" he asks and looking at Kina's face, she is pretty and has beautiful eyes.

"Here..." taking out a tiny roll contains the secret letter from her saving belt pocket and put it right in front of Kyo Lim and she added " Just for you to know, I have no idea of what am I delivering to you so don't expect me to know more"

Taking the roll, open and read it carefully.

The message written there is asking if Kyo Lim has another purpose of staying together and closer with the target.

Also a note from the king to assassinate the target as soon as possible.

"Thank you, be careful on your way back" he saved the roll into his pocket and gets ready for leaving. He remembers left Kiren's at the festival and suddenly miss that boy.

Kina couldn't read Kyo Lim's expression at all, she sits blankly looking at Kyo Lim's leaving. Right before he opens the wooden door, Kina snapped out and hurriedly went to hold on Kyo Lim arm.

"Are you that hurry?" Kina has other purposes than just delivering the message,

"Hm, I need to get my man," he ambiguously answers, removing Kina's hands softly from his arm and left.

Being rejected softly like this doesn't hurt Kina's heart at all but melting her heart that Kyo Lim's touched her.

****

At Lu's family house.

Drunken Kiren Lu is heating up the bedroom atmosphere with two girls almost naked kissing and touching his topples body.

The high moaning sounded around the room.

"I never saw the young master this wild before" the maids looking worry standing outside the room.

"Me too, oh no...how if Master Lu heard about this?" the other maid speaks as they acknowledged that their young master never done such a thing in the house.

Step step step!

A big step echoing from the hallway, it's Kyo Lim.

"Oh it's young master Kyo Lim" one of the maids recognised him soon as his face shown.

They're about to welcoming him but looking at his expression, there are no smiles, only red eyes and lips shut tight.

Unable to read the young master expression, three of them bow down.

"Good evening young master" three of them greetings.

There are no replies, he just stand there unmoved until the three back to straight position. Secretly observing the young master face once again, they finally know if the young man is mad.

As the situation outside gets awkward, the moaning sounds from inside getting louder.

The maids are panicking, as one of them recall her memory about that night Kiren and Kyo got heated up in a hot night together too.

"Young master...He seems drunk when he came home with the girls" that maiden wanted to help Kiren Lu situations.

Kyo Lim hold his breath before entering Kiren Lu chamber. He pushes the door and walked closer to the bed, where three people almost naked breathing heavily in high intensity.

"Oh no...Hey, who are you?" the girls in shock seeing a new person staring at their activities.

"Get dressed and leave" he hardly pressing his emotions, telling the girls to leave by handling them out two pockets full of money.

"Huh? Why?" they're asking but eventually getting dressed and taking the money.

Now only Kyo Lim and drunken Kiren Lu in the room.

"What are you doing?" Kyo Lim asks in shaking voice in results of pressing his emotions.

No intention of covering his topples body. Kiren Lu is looking at Kyo Lim direction for a second. He gets up from the bed and wanted to get out but pulling back by Kyo Lim.

"Answer me" Kyo Lim grabbed the arm tightly.

"What are you doing? Let me go or I will kill you" Red eyes and hot face Kiren Lu answered. He feels betrayed by Kyo Lim.

The word "kill" from Kiren feels like a blast on Kyo Lim heart. He now guesses if Kiren found his secret mission?

"What do you mean?" His grab on the arm slowly loose.

Kiren Lu is trying to stand straight but failed, his body swaying left and right.

"Let me go! Do you think I'm easy?! Like those prostitution?!" he screams and released himself away from Kyo Lim with a great punched on the cheek.

He tries to escape but couldn't find the door ways as his vision getting blurred as the effect of to much alcohol starting to spread.

"What? What are you talking?" this conversation is getting weird for Kyo Lim. He went to pick Kiren Lu from the floor and bring him back to the bed.

"Remove your dirty hands off from me!! Are you done with that girl? Ha ha...is she not enough to satisfy your needs?" Kiren Lu still talks about the unclear topic, now bringing out the girl he saw with Kyo Lim.

"Girl? Me? Hey... speak clearly, I don't understand your words" tapping the pretty boy face softly.

"Let me go!" one more punching on the same cheek, he fell to the bed and stayed still, closing his eyes, and goes,

"I feel hurt in here" he touches his chest " I saw you went away with a girl, It's just hurt here" he goes on with the weak voice.

Kyo Lim like a statue, standing in shock. He didn't expect Kiren to see him leaving with Kina but Kiren Lu must've seen him and thought that Kina is a prostitution.

"Oh my..." Kyo Lim sits besides Kiren's, caressing his hair, "I'm not sleeping with that girl, she just a passerby... I'm not betraying you" he bends down and kisses Kiren Lu on the lips softly and warms and wet.
