The Gifted (CHANBAEK FANFIC)

Chapter 9

Hope

Morning came as the light of the sun shone bright, radiating across the land and illuminating all forms of darkness. Baekhyun woke up by the smell of delicious food filling his nostrils, he slowly opened his eyes before rubbing it gently.

"Oh you're awake" a voice that draws Baekhyun's attention.

He sat up before looking in his right side to see a smiling Deigo, with his servant who's holding a tray of delicious foods in his hand.

"Good morning, Your Highness Baekhyun" Deigo greeted the younger while grinning from ear to ear.

"Good morning too, Your Highness" Baekhyun said with a smile covering his sadness and pain he is suffering from his loss.

The sunlight may be bright, but for Deigo, nothing is brighter than Baekhyun's smiles. His smile is filled with love, hope and life but his eyes tells another story. Deigo can see the grief and sadness in Baekhyun's eyes, his eyes are swollen and red probably from crying the whole night, which is the taller understand. This was his first time seeing Baekhyun this sad and loss, because last time he saw him, was the time that his family and homeland were still alive.

"Here I brought you your breakfast, I'm sure you are hungry by now" Deigo said.

"I sincerely appreciate your kindness and generosity, Your Royal Highness. How could I ever pay back?" Baekhyun thanked him wholeheartedly.

"You don't have to, Your Highness. Just eat this to replenish your hunger, you don't want to die from starvation, do you?" Deigo joke making Baekhyun giggled.

The Crown Prince sat opposite to where Baekhyun is sitting, he enjoys watching him while eating timidly and formally.

"Bloody hell, these are really delicious, Your Highness" Baekhyun said as he stuff his mouth with another small piece of meat.

"Whoever cooked these must've a great cooking skills, he or she is trully a food genius" Baekhyun can't stop praising how good these food taste are.

"I did, I cooked all of these for you" Deigo said flirtatiously.

Actually, it's a lie, of course he didn't cooked it. Why on Earth would a prince cook if there are many imperial chefs in the palace who'll serves him Baekhyun stopped munching and an O shape formed on his lips.

"I must've praise your cooking skills then, Your Highness" Baekhyun praise Deigo's cooking skills again. And Deigo let out a mischievous grin.

After Baekhyun is done eating, Deigo ordered the servant to bath Baekhyun, in which the servants did without any hesitation. And after he is done bathing, the servants dressed him in a comfortable yet luxurious dress.

"You are free to wander around if you want, Your Highness. The servants can accompany you, but for now I have to excuse myself as I have some important matters to do" Deigo said, with a smile.

"Sure. Again, thank you for your kindness for providing me food and temporary refuge, I wish I chould pay you back with anything I can, Your Highness. And I apologize for the inconvenience I have cause" he said as he bowed his head.

"Oh there's nothing to worry about, Your Highness. It's nothing" Deigo bowed his head before they bid their goodbyes.
