Few months later:-
It's been a few months since Hyuk started working as a servant for the General, these months have been peaceful, the only work he has to do is serve the General and let the General take a bite of himself. At first Hyuk was afraid of General but for some time now, the two have grown closer, though they do not talk to each other more then two sentences but the atmosphere has eased a lot, and it made Hyuk realize that the General is not that bad all the times, though he does not really lighten up most of the times but he does smile sometimes mostly when he teases Hyuk or bites him.
Everything has been good except that Hyuk has been really disturbed and angry for a few days... And the culprit is of course the Great General Lee Byung-Ho.
Few Days Ago:-
It was afternoon, the time for lunch, the sun was soaring high in the sky, the sunflowers facing towards it in full bloom, the wind was not moving much making the day hot as hell, Hyuk fanned his face with his hands before taking the tray of food in his hands, cursing the General for making him do all this work in the hot weather, and went to the General's chamber and knocked.
The General was sitting, looking at some official documents when he heard a knock on his door.
*it must be Hyuk*, he thought and sat up straight, fixing his robe and hair, he called him in, upon getting the permission, Hyuk opened the door softly and greeted the General and came in.
*His cheeks have turned red because of the hot weather, just like ripe cherries, soft, fluffy and juicy, i want a bite*. The general thought as he saw Hyuk set the food on the table and sat in front of him .
,
He looked at him for a moment before he signed Hyuk to come closer to him.
Hyuk bowed his head and got closer to the General , taking off the clothes from his right shoulder. The General smiled and was about to bite Hyuk, when he saw the dark black marks on his shoulder, his skin had turned purplish and the marks of bites could be seen... The General looked at it for a moment, feeling bad for Hyuk and then turned to his left shoulder, to bite him, but when he pulled off Hyuk's clothes from his left shoulder he saw that it was more injured then the right one, making him feel somewhat guilty.
*No, I can't do this , I just wanted to tease him , I never thought it would leave such ugly marks on Hyuk's body.. His baby skin has been tainted with these ugly marks and it's all my fault.. I can't do this anymore*.. He thought and pulled on his clothes back to his shoulders.
"I don't want to take a bite now, you can go, if I need anything I will call you later", The General said going back to his food.
"Okay", Hyuk answered bowing his head once more and took a look at the General's frowned expression before he left from there.
A week went by like this, the General didn't bite Hyuk nor did he let him stay near himself, Hyuk got really disturbed because of this so he decided to ask Jin-He about the matter.
"Noona, can I ask you something?", Hyuk asked as he sat in front of jin-He pouting.
"Yes, Hyukie, what do you want to ask". Jin-He said .
"Ahh, actually I have a friend he used to play with me alot but for sometime now he doesn't play with me nor does he stay anywhere near me. Why do you think he is doing all this Noona", Hyuk asked a little worried as he remembered the General's weird face, that he makes whenever he sees Hyuk.
"Umm, maybe your friend is busy and does not have time to play with you or maybe he does not like you anymore or it can also be that he has a new friend and plays with them now". Jin-He explained softly.
"What? a new friend", Hyuk asked getting upset..
"Hmm, maybe he could have a new friend who he likes more then you, but I don't know for sure, why don't you ask that friend yourself and see what the problem is", Jin-He recommended while smiling innocently.
"Hmm, okay, I am going to take a bath", Hyuk said suddenly getting up from his place.
"What, where are you going, it's time to take snacks for the General". Jin-He asked in an annoyed voice as she stood up from her place.
"I will be back before his snack time", Hyuk yelled and went to the river to take a bath with others, in summer the best place to take a bath and relax was to come to the river, swim and play with friends before going back to the General's manor.
.....
Hyuk came back after some 20 -25 minutes, looking fresh and fragrant, he took the snacks and went to the Garden where the General was sitting.
He took the tray and set the snacks in front of him and like always sat there looking at the General's face.
The General looked up from his book and asked.
"Want to ask something?", he said taking a bite of his snacks.
"General, Do you want to take a bite of me". Hyuk asked in a serious voice.
The General looked at him for a brief moment and thought.
*i can't do that anymore, i have hurt him a lot, I would never ever hurt him again, even if it upsets Hyuk*. The general thought to himself, determined on never hurting Hyuk like he did before.
"No, I don't want to". The General answered firmly and glanced at Hyuk's face.
"Why? I took a bath, I am fresh and I don't even smell of sweat". Hyuk asked, disappointed.
"I told you I don't want to do it right now, I will let you know when I want to, don't disturb me right now", The General said.
"Why, it's been a week already, you haven't bitten me". Hyuk asked getting agitated.
shut up, and go away now, the General yelled at Hyuk with an irritated face.
Hyuk looked him up and down unbelievably and got up, leaving the General alone and walked back to the servant quarters, huffing in anger he kicked the floor and said to himself.
"He definitely has someone who he takes a bite from, that's why he is like that to me, how dare he yell at me, he told me he would not do anything to me if I was loyal to him, and for that I even let him bite my precious body but he, annoying, handsome face, He still yelled at me and that too in front of everyone".
"Oh my god! I think I got a fever I need to rest, oh baby Hyuk how delicate are you" , he said to himself and slept.
In the evening Jin-He came to get him to serve the dinner to the General.
"Hyuk, why are you sleeping, let's go, you need to take the General's dinner to his chamber, get up quickly", Jin-He said.
"Oh Noona, sorry I can't, I am having a fever, I am feeling like I would collapse at any moment ans throw up, my whole body is hurting". Hyuk said in a weak voice.
"Who will take his dinner then?", jin-He asked getting worried for her life.
"I don't know Noona, but i can't, maybe General has a favorite, he can send him dinner". Hyuk said pulling his blanket up.
"What are you saying Hyuk, General does not like anybody in this whole world, he only loves himself", Jin-He said shaking her head.
"Yeah right, that selfish General only loves himself, now I am getting more angry", Hyuk said in an annoyed voice and went back to sleeping.
Tomorrow Afternoon:-
Hyuk was sitting in the garden with puffed cheeks when Hoon came to him and asked.
"What happened Hyukie, why are you not playing with us today?".
"Umm, I had a fever last night, I can't play", Hyuk said pouting.
Aerum came forward and put her hand on Hyuk's forehead and said.
"You don't have a fever, my forehead is hotter then you".
"Aren't you talking too much Aerumi?". Hyuk asked.
"There are too many annoying adults in this palace who annoy me and because of that i get a fever," Hyuk continued.
"No one gets a fever because they are annoyed, are you lying to us, you are good at acting", Aerum replied sarcastically.
*like father, like daughter, both are annoying and good at getting me angry*, Hyuk thought looking at Aerum and turned to Hoon.
"Hoon, you are the only one in this place who cares about me and loves me", Hyuk said hugging Hoon.
"No, I love you too and care for you a loootttttt", Aerum said opening her arms wide.
"Yes, yes I know that too well Aerumi", Hyuk said and hugged the siblings tightly while they too held him in a bone crushing hug.
The trio was still hugging when jin-He came to them and yelled.
"Hyuk, come back with me and take the General's lunch to his chamber".
"No noona, I am sick, I can't", Hyuk answered.
Jin-He twisted his ear making him stand up and said,
"You are not sick when playing but suddenly you whole body hurts when you have to work, come back with me and do your duties properly otherwise I will ask the General to punish you", Jin-He said and dragged Hyuk back.
"I will come tomorrow, I love you two", he yelled to the siblings smiling.
"Take care Hyukie", both the siblings yelled back in unison waving their little hands.
"Here take this", jin-He said handing the tray of food to Hyuk.
"The madame and her brother are in there too so be careful", Jin-He warned him.
"Okay", Hyuk said with a sigh and went to the chamber, after getting the permission, he went in, when Hyuk entered, the General suddenly stood straight and fixed his robe, and looked at the mirror secretly to see if his appearance was okay, and looked at Hyuk with a serene expression on his face, ignoring the two annoying who were rambling about something boring , Hyuk greeted all the three people respectfully and walked in with his head bowed.
He put the food on the table and looked up at the General, glaring at him for a moment, before he turned his face back normal and got up to leave, with a fierce flick of his sleeves, making the General, widen his eyes in shock.
"Does he want to kill me, is Hyuk cursing me", the General thought weirded out by the sudden angry glare.
