The bright and warm ray of the sun hits a boy's face, creating an ethereal illusion. The light quickly waking up the little boy's dream as he stirred awake.
"...mhm..."
The boy groggily woke up, eyes widening into a stormy hue before returning back to ocean blue.
"...Is this perhaps kidnapping? no, its too absurd to be one"
Placing a hand on his chin and standing up from the cold and dirty ground he has been sleeping all along, he thought about the situation before this.
Recalling no strange things, he gave his all to focus on he situation in hand and made two conclusion.
1. Its all just a dream.
He's heard about the maids and butler talk about it. What seemed to be a dream of desire and imagination that's unrealistically out of the world, the so-called "wet-dream".
While the other conclusion was:
2.. He's in another world.
Being a child of a prominent and noble family, he was no stranger to knowledge. He's had the tutors and professors drill what seemed to be an entire empire's worth of knowledge in his brain at the age of 6.
He gets access on banned and taboo books unlike commoners and other lower-class noble just because of his last name. And one of the books that he read was about the thesis of a believer of the God Of Water.
"-Water that connects the living, may it be in land, heaven, hell nor another world. Water will bring us salvation-"
But that seemed absurd even for Halia. The wet dream seemed more realistic than the so-called another world.
Grumble...!!!
"..."
Groooowwwll!!!
"This is a wet dream so why must I get hungry?"
The blue eyed noble grumbled as he ventured his so called 'wet dream'.
.

.
"Stay back peasants!!"
Wide and shaking blue eyes stared warily at the crowd forming before him. He knows that he's handsome ; every second in his life just kept convincing him.
He likes being the center of attention and the spotlight but he doesn't really do well in huge crowds.
"Ayo, kid are you lost?"
"What a cute kid"
"Oppa are you an actor?"
"Hey kid, wanna come with this noonim?"
"Hey, your blocking the road!!"
"I'm warning you- ah!"
He yelped as he suddenly got lifted up in the air by two large arms.
"Oops, sorry, my dongsaeng is quite shy you see"
A tall redhead ahjussi picked him up and place him down with a goofy smile on his face and shadows in his eyes, looking very tired and carefree.
"Oh,"
"You have a very cute brother"
"Couldn't agree more! Come now dongsaeng, let's go home. Thank you for taking care of my brother"
The redhead said to the crowd before taking the hand of the blue eyed noble who was gaping like a fish wondering what just happened as they disperse into the road and into a very small abode.
"Were here, usually I have a very annoying roommate but luckily he's on a trip to hell"
The redhead said with a sorrowful expression, thinking about the torture his room mate must have been going trough by now.
"...condolence peasant. It may have been difficult but since I do owe you, I'll make sure to return tha favor?"
The blue eyed noble said with a small bow and eyes that held sympathy and respect. HE may be a bit of a brat but he understand the feeling of losing the person you cherishes the most.
"...Ha?"
"I said, I give my condolence for your loss"
"Pfft-Hahaha!!!"
The red head man laughed like a madmaan as the blue eyed noble cant help but wonder the redhead's sanity.
"Pfft- Lol, did ya really thought that he's dead? Nah, he's just cramming for midterms"
Not understanding a word that the redhead said,, the blue eyed noble just simply sat down at one of the weird looking chair when suddenly.
"Mmh?"
He felt comfortable. He felt like slouching and be one with the chair-no he's already in the process of being one with the chair.
"Here's the food, sorry, we only got cup noodles around. Shopping day is' till in two days"
The ocean blue orb eyed the 'cup noodle's and two pieces of wood on top of the steaming food. He placed the two wooden sticks at the table and looked at the redhead for guidance.
The redhead, too immerse in eating the cup noodles like his life depended on it, didn't notice the noble's gaze who in turn imitated him and tried to drink the Cup noodle's in one go only to wheeze at the temperature.
"Cough...Cough!!"
"Hey! Easy there, are you alright?"
"How could you eat something like this! Are you a monster!"
The noble, who doesn't know what to say in order to restore his dignity yelled with vigor.
"BTW, Hyun ha's the name, what's yours?"
'btw??..'
"Ha! Do you truly not know who I am?"
"Nah, if I know you then I wouldn't had took you- wait, just double checking, are you under any agency rn?"
"rn? agency? What are you talking about? Have you gone senile due to old age?"
"bruh!! I'm eighteen!! Eighteen!! I look totally young and handsome!! I'm a fresh fish out of the sea!!"
'now why is he talking about the sea?'
"It's confirmed. Peasant, you've gone mad"
"Anyways, are you under any agency rn?"
"I told you, I don't know any rn and agency"
"Cool! want some more ramen?"
Hyun Ha asked with a carefree and goofy smile offering the uncooked ramen cup like a candy.
"Your acting really suspicious peasant and for reference, you may call me young master Halia"
"Got it, ilya-ah."
"Don't call me names peasant, I have a name for you to call"
"Since you look maybe 13- ish, call me hyung and until then, I'll keep calling you Ilya~ ah~"
"I'm 16!!"
"-Oh! I almost forgot, Ilya-ah do you know how to write??"
The redhead, Hyun Ha asked innocently as flowers seemingly bloom behind him.
"Of course I know!"
"Hmn?? Not convincing. You looks like a pretty femboy, right?"
Halia, who doesn't understand a thing that Hyun Ha uttered felt annoyed for some reason. Halia knows that hes beautiful -bless his mother- but being called a pretty femboy seems quite odd.
"I am capable!"
"Prove it then, write your name on this paper"
Halia glanced suspiciously at the paper and the man with a stupid smile before turning his head away. He knows better than to write their name on a piece of paper.
"Hmmph, I don't want to"
"Is Ilya-ah perhaps scared?"
"Of course not!!"
"Then why don't you write your name?"
Hyun Ha slowly asked with an innocent façade before snickering darklyly.
"Then let's do this! If you write your name on this paper then...I'll be your slave?"
Halia's instict screamed for him to get out but his rationality told him that he can't lose anything in here so why not. In the end, he's rationality got the best of him and he grinned, feeling victorious of their little 'bet'.
Halia huffed angrily and took the pen before hastily writing his name on the paper, glaring at Hyun Ha who's smiling goofily.
"You see peasant, my handwriting is so elegant"
"Yes, this is truly elegant"
"Now your my slave peasa-"
"What are you talking about?"
"Huh? your now my slave, peasant! don't try to escape-"
Halia suddenly stops on his track at the cold look on Hyun Ha's eyes. Cold as a freezing winter morning that held dominance like a predator looking at it's prey. There's still the goofy smile but his aura has completely changed.
"Idiot~!! Who's the idiot who signed the contract~! Fufufu~"
Cold sweats decorated Halia's whole body as he shook in fear as an invisible force seems to bind him, unable to move.
"Now, now, let's remove that frown on your pretty face, shall we? We can't have you getting ugly-"
"I'm never ugly!!"
Halia's fear subsided as anger bubbled. No one calls him ugly! And Halia believes that he'll never ever be ugly.
"Since your my lucky star from now on, let's get along well, shall we, Ilya-ah~"
