"You poor unfortunate soul, you say the child will die if it's not your destined half…then how do you know who your destined half is? Don't tell me you're going to sleep around until you find them?"
"…"
"What do you take me for? I'm not looking for my destined half, I've decided to live my life alone until I die…"
Kang Chunho chuckled, how cute he murmured to himself.
Jeoyoon ate quietly, stuffing food quickly into his mouth so he could get out of this awkward situation.
"So you wouldn't mind if I should find this destined half and take their lives right? You belong to me now…it's irksome to know there's another person in your life…don't worry I'll be your destined half and we will live together until we die.."
Jeoyoon's chopsticks stopped midway when he heard Kang Chunho's words.
He peered down at the bowl unable to find the right words.
"Why would go through all that trouble just to spend your life with a servant? You'll be defying your noble blood if you do that.."
Kang Chunho smiled as he stroked his sword gently.
"Noble blood never did me any good…so I'll gladly let you ruin me.."
"Why would you say that!"
"…"
"What? Why can't I say that?"
Kang Chunho chuckled, he was about to speak when Ahn's voice came in.
"My Lord, Lord Wei is here to see you along with the other masters…"
"…"
"And I'm afraid they're already on their way here.."
Kang Chunho stood up and grabbed Jeoyoon by the arm.
"Come with me now, we must not let them see you…"
Chunho placed his robe over Jeoyoon's head to hide his face and turned to Ahn.
"Take him to the last quarter, if they should see as much as even a single strand of his hair… your head is mine"
Ahn quickly ushered Jeoyoon out of the room,-following Kang Chunho's orders. Jeoyoon's heart was still racing from the intense conversation with Kang Chunho, and he stumbled slightly as Ahn led him through the winding corridors of the manor.
They finally reached the last quarter, a small, secluded area of the manor. Ahn pushed Jeoyoon inside and followed close behind, shutting the door behind them.
Jeoyoon looked around, taking in the small chamber. The room was dimly lit, with only a few candles illuminating the space. A small bed laid at the center of the room, and Jeoyoon's eyes were drawn to it involuntarily.
If the situation wasn't dire he would have taken a nap.
Ahn bowed slightly, his eyes expressionless. "Please wait here, master Jeoyoon. Master Kang will join you shortly."
Jeoyoon nodded sitting on the bed, still trying to process the events of the past few minutes.
Who were those guest that Kang Chunho didn't want him to meet?
"Were they other nobles? If they weren't he wouldnt need to hide me.."
Jeoyoon sighed and laid down on the bed, he hated this feeling…the feeling of helplessness.
Ahn quicky ran back and urshered the men into a large room, this was were Kang Chunho usually hosted his guests.
"Master Qin, Master Kung, Master Jun.."
He bowed as the men walked inside the room.
Kang Chunho sipped the wine unhappily, these three appearance had placed a pause to his and Jeoyoon conversation and he diskled the fact that he had to hide his property from him.
Master Qin, removed his hat his light blond hair rolling down, he had a soft smile on his face as he stared at Chunho…his eyes sparkling with delight.
"Chunho did you miss me? You have a new pet… don't you love me anymore?.."
Master Qin chuckled lightly, as he turned to master Kung and Jun.
"We happen to run into each other…what a coincidence isn't it?"
Master Qin chuckled as a dark light flashed past his eyes.
"Chunho do you really plan on ignoring us? We came here just to see you I've missed you.."
Master Kung sighed, his dark eyes glinting slightly, it had been months since they had been together, had he lost interest in them?
Master Kung's hands clenched at the thought, he loved Chunho though he had to share him with master Qin and master Jun.
"It's a good win….do you want to try it?"
Kang Chunho finally answered as a smile appeared on their faces.
"Certainly.."
Master Qin happily received the wine, this was the most he had gotten out of Chunho in months.
"Say…Chunho I heard you bought a new pet, I heard it was the young master of the fallen Gu family. Is that true?"
Kang Chunho smiled as he played with the wine, he thought of Jeoyoon's cute face and chuckled.
"Yeah…what about it?"
Master Jun's eyes darkened so the rumors were true, Chunho had really gotten a dog to replace them.
"Mhm…I don't see him anywhere, did you hide your pet from us? That's not nice especially when you've been friends for a long time.."
Kang Chunho chuckled and placed the cup down, his eyes darkened slightly as he beaconed master Qin to come to him.
"It's obvious why you three are here, you want this don't you?"
Kang Chunho chuckled holding unto his groin, they used to be fun now he had gotten tired of them.
"Take off your clothes…we don't have much time. I can't keep my little pet waiting.."
Jeoyoon raised his head up, he was getting a feeling something was not right and stood up.
He walked to the door quietly, wanting to check if there was anyone outside.
All of a sudden, three men in black jumped in through the windows.
Jeoyoon hissed, taking a stance he knew his gut feeling had never let him down.
"What do you want?"
Jeoyoon asked as he stared at the swords pointed at him with a slow glance.
As long as he wasn't hit from the back, he would be okay but what he didn't expected was that there was a fourth man.
Piak!
Jeoyoon's eyes widened as he stared at the sword plunging out of his chest.
"How??"
He thought to himself, there were only three in the room.
