Seungmin doesn't understand what Lee Know is saying.

"How did you tame him?"

"I didn't..."

"You talked a lot with him, right? Let me just tell you, he isn't the type to talk a lot"

"That might be true, but..."

That is why I wanted to talk a little...

"... did you sleep with him?"

What are you saying?!

"No it can't be. He isn't that quick to invite people to his bed. In that case... I really don't understand why he is interested in you"

Lee Know's hand reaches out to the younger and suddenly grabs his jaw.

"W-wait..."

"Tell me. What did you do to him? You can tame me if you want too"

Lee Know's face slowly draws closer.

"Quit it!"

Seungmin stands up and quickly gathers the tea cups.

"Please stop messing around!"

The purple haired boy yelled and leaves the sunroom.

What the heck is wrong with this person!

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

After cleaning the dishes from lunch from Chan's room, Seungmin talks to Chan timidly.

"Umm Chan... If you want... would you like some snacks?"

As expected, Chan looks annoyed, but he continues on.

"I won't force you. But I made cookies today..."

"... do what you want"

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

"... you ... what is your intention?"

The younger brings cookies and tea for two and places them on the table.

"Are you going to eat here too?"

"Yes. I wanted to talk like we did yesterday..."

Chan shows a strange expression, as though he might be angry or confused.

"I will go as soon as we finish eating"

"Of course..."

Chan snorts and sits on the sofa, appearing annoyed.

"C-can we talk?"

"Pour me some tea"

"Yes"

What should we talk about?

"It's about Lee Know... Why is he staying in this estate?"

"Officially, he is guarding me. But I am not so dull as to need protection from him"

"Officially???"

Chan appears uneasy at my question.

"... he has other roles"

It seems like he doesn't want to say something...

"Putting that to one side, why are you asking me about him?"

Seungmin remembers his actions last night.

After that I sort of disliked him. But...

"I just wondered what sort of person he is"

"... what sort ... I see. So that's how it is. Foolish"

Chan snorts in disinterest.

"You are an odd person to have eyes for that man"

"N-no!"

Seungmin quickly tries to explain this to Chan, who has misinterpreted things.

"That isn't it. Just..."

"I don't know what you are up to"

Chan says with a cold tone and the younger swallows his words.

"Do whatever you want"

As Seungmin is about to continue, the door to Chan's room suddenly opens. Felix enters, 

glances at Seungmin, and opens his mouth.

"Lord Bang, I wish to speak"

"Yes"

Felix stares at Seungmin.

Is he telling me to go...

The youngest clears up his tea and quickly leaves the room.

"What do you want to speak about?"

"Well..."

Felix stares at the snacks and tea on the table.

"What?"

"Well... Have you grown closer to that person?"

"Of course not. Don't say such foolishness"

"You ate his food without me tasting it"

"... that doesn't matter. Make your report"

"Yes. I just obtained this information..."

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

After dinner, the purple haired boy cleans up alone in the kitchen.

I didn't get to speak with Chan after that. He seemed to misunderstood my words. I would like to clear that up.

He doesn't even understand why Chan came to that wrong conclusion.

But someone as carefree as Lee Know doesn't seem to fit the company of Chan and Felix.

So I was just curious why he was staying in this estate...

As he thinks about this, he washes up and turn off the water. He suddenly hears a sound down the corridor.

He walks down the corridor, but no one is there.

I heard something... was it by the entrance?

The entrance hall at night was silent.

That's odd. I thought I heard something. Was it my imagination?

He turns around to return to his washing up. Just then.

Someone leaps from the darkness and suddenly grabs his arm.

"Be quiet"

The stranger pushes him and covers his mouth.

W-what?!

He sees several men emerge from the darkness.

"I heard that there were only three men in this estate, but why is a boy here?"

"Doesn't matter. Let's have him guide us. Hey boy. Take us to Bang Chan"

Are they trying to kill Chan???

His mouth covered, he shakes his head violently.

"What?"

"Do you need a beating to understand???"

The dagger the man is holding approaches his neck.

No!!! Someone!!!

"What are you doing in my estate?"
