I wanted to hide this side of me as hard as I could (TCF fanfiction)

Chapter 8

'a familiar ceiling...this is my bedroom?'

As Cale tried to sit up, a familiar arm helped him.

'Ah its Choi Han'

'Raon...On...Hong...Ron everyone's here'

'Seems like I got saved'

"Human- "

'Ah my wounds are all bandaged up, Ron must've been the one to do that'

'I should thank him aft- '

"HUMAN!"

Cale's body flinched in shock from Raon's shout.

"Ah you unlucky bastard, you should listen to the little kid first before blankly looking into space", grumbled Eruhaben after he saw Cale flinch in shock after hearing Raon's shout.

"That's right, human. Don't Ever Go Outside Alone Ever Again! Ok"

"Human...human?"

Cale's body was trembling.

'Ah damn it this body'

Cale's body subconsciously stiffens up or tremble ever since he got screamed on when he was kidnapped because of him not answering their questions or ignoring them entirely. A few minutes passed and eventually Cale's body went back to normal.

"Human is it something I said? Did I scare you?"

'No, it's not your fault'

As Cale was about to tell Raon it wasn't his fault. His mouth stopped in midair; he couldn't let his voice out, he couldn't speak. His throat hurts so much from all the screaming he did when he was tortured.

Cale quickly used his hand to draw some letters on the beds surface.

*I'm sorry

Everyone realized what the words Cale drew on the bed's cover with his fingers.

"Its not your fault human, it's those kidnapers' fault!"

"Shall I go get you a warm cup of water, young master?"

Cale nodded his head to the old man while the butler quickly went to get the warm water.

The 3 kids quickly went and jumped to Cale's arms. Though Cale trembled from the shock he quickly hugged the kids tightly.

He quickly mouthed, *I'm sorry.

The kids who understood what Cale mouthed quickly frowned in response.

"Its not your fault, nya"

"Exactly noona, nya"

While his elder siblings lectured Cale, Raon continued to snuggle up to him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While the kids snuggled up to Cale. The adults just kept staring at this heartwarming scene of the reunion of the children and Cale.

"Young master-nim, shall I call the Crown prince?"

Cale shook his head in response.

Click

"Young master, here is your warm cup of water"

Cale took the cup of warm water and drunk it in one gulp.

"Additionally, here is a pad of paper and a quill"

Ron proceeds to give the items to the young master.

"I thought this would be a convenient tool for communication for you since you have temporarily lost your voice." Said Ron with a benign smile.

'Got to hand it to this old man, he knows my needs the best'

The red head quickly wrote something on the pad of paper and showed it to Ron.

(Thank you Ron)

"You're welcome, young master"

After hearing Ron's reply, Cale flipped to another page of the pad, wrote something and showed it to Rosalyn.

(Rosalyn, please inform the crown prince)

"I shall inform the crown prince then" commented the young mage before stepping out of the room.

Tap

"Hmm? What is it human?", Raon responded after getting tapped on the back by Cale's finger.

(Can you teleport me to the Crown prince's room?)

"I can but ill only teleport you once you've recovered" shot back by the young dragon.

Cale just nodded his head.

"Young master, shall I bring the breakfast now?"

(Yes please)

Yawn

'a lot of time has passed its already evening'

Since Cale was bedridden. The children talked about all the things that happened when Cale was gone and what they did to rescue him. Cale just listened to them while enjoying this time of peace.

'Ah I'm hungry'

Cale took the quill and pad to write something.

"What is it Cale?" asked On.

Cale showed On and the kids what he wrote.

(I'm going to get some food, what do you want?)

"Cale shouldn't you be resting in bed right now?" answered On menacingly.

"Noona's right, nya"

"That's right human, you shouldn't leave the bed!"

Cale quickly wrote something and showed them again.

(I need to exercise to get well faster)

Cale's body's basic functions have all returned to normal because of the "Vitality of the Heart" ever since Raon broke the choker. He also got scolded by the crybaby to exercise so that his body's condition will improve faster.

"Mm since it's not going outside and will help you get well faster, ok"

"Get us some cookies Human!"

"I agree with my dongsaeng!"

(ok)

Cale left the bed and went to the kitchen.

'Beacrox's not here...'

Cale checked every drawer and cabinet to find some cookies.

'Ah, found them'

Just as he was about to leave the kitchen with the cookies, he smelled a savory aroma coming from the stove. Cale put the cookies down on the table and went near the stove. There was a boiling pot of soup.

'Mm it smells great'

While Cale was appreciating the aroma coming from the boiling pot his hand unconsciously went to the sides of the pot this continued for a minute or so.

"YOUNG MASTER!"

Cale's two hands were quickly snatched by Beacrox leaving him surprised.

"What are you doing?!? Don't you know how hot that pot is?!?" shouted Beacrox.

'Ah I guess it was a little hot'

Then Cale checked to see his hands as red as a rose almost close to being burnt.

'eh'
