Slave to a King | Jinkook

Twenty-Seven

With a pout evident on his lips, Jin walked around the King's quarter, which was ten times larger than his suite, taking notes as he went along.

During his first stay in the King's quarters, he did not get enough tour to see all areas and rooms. For him, it was a separate house on its own with its own personality. It was isolated, especially in light of how long it took to get there and how many guards one had to deal with. There was no doubt many would not agree with him, but his thoughts were his, and he would maintain them.

Since Jin had moved into the King's house two hours ago, he was not pleased for several reasons. First of all, he did not want to live with the King; seeing him only on a one-time basis was more than enough, but living with him was going to be far too much, and it was probably the fourth most hurtful punishment the King could have given him.

Secondly, he had no clue what the King's lifestyle was like. Sure, the maids kept the place somewhat clean, but it was not to Jin's taste regarding cleanliness and organization. As he walked around the house for the last two hours, his head felt like it was going to explode. Many things were out of place, the color scheme of the bedrooms varied widely, and there were numerous elements in each room. Having already felt overburdened by certain rooms' appearance, half the pages in the notebook were already filled with notes about all the tasks that needed to be done.

Seeing as he was pregnant, he should not have to do any of that, but the King was forcing him to live with him; he had no other choice.

Taking a deep breath before entering one of the doors, Jin considered, "maybe this one can wait until tomorrow, and I should focus on unpacking my clothes now because if I don't, I won't be able to sleep by sundown."

Turning his back, he made his way down the long halls and found his way back to the King's bedroom, where, through no fault of his own, he had to sleep. He found it wrong that he had to sleep in the same room as the King when he preferred sleeping by himself. Also, as it turns out, the King had many bedrooms, but many seemed to be set up like kid's rooms; in any case, he was willing to sleep in one after some cleaning and reorganizing.

It was a mess in the room, with clothes scattered around in various bins and some still hung on hangers, scattered on the King's bed. A staff member suggested that they store them in a space in the King's closet that he had offered to him, but Jin assured them that it was fine. To make himself comfortable, he preferred to organize his clothes himself.

Additionally, he was given half of the King's dresser and some of his drawers, which were very useful for him. As he was working on putting away his clothes, however, he emptied a few of the drawers that contained the King's boxers and pajamas, disliking the way they were folded and how little care had been taken to organize them. As a result, he became concerned with how the King's clothes were being kept; he was disappointed to see how little attention was given to such things. He wondered who the staff handling these matters were because they were doing a poor job, but he couldn't blame them. They were probably doing their jobs based on how the King was treating them.

Jin spent over five hours reorganizing the King's clothes in his drawer and the closet, along with putting away his clothes and finding the right place for them. The exhaustion he felt afterward was apparent with the ache in his feet from repeatedly going in and out of the closet. In addition to organizing the clothes, he changed the bedsheets and also sanitized the King's bed, not knowing when the last time it was done.

Then he moved to the bathroom, which needed a lot of work. It wasn't dirty from the outside, but it needed Jin's attention, and Jin was pleased that he did it. He found that the cabinet shelves were not cleaned; he saw how dirty the shelves were after removing everything inside the cabinets. Cleaning all the shelves and wiping down the cabinets took him some time. Afterward, he moved to the linen closet in the bathroom, which appeared to be well-organized and in good condition. Therefore, there was little for him to do there, so he cleaned the toilet, washed the sink, washed the bathtub, and cleaned the shower. It took him two hours to clean the bathroom, so it was a great relief when he finally finished and could finally take a shower.
