We Are Supposed To be The Same

Just A Little Jealous

It has been two days but Rok Soo's fever shows no sign of going down. He has been coughing non-stop and his body has been covered in sweat.

It is not that the dragons can't heal him. Eruhaben brought Rok Soo to the Black Castle to check on his powers and memories, but not his fever. 

Why? Because the gold dragon said this, 

"If you are too weak to move then don't move, you unlucky bastard. At least you won't go running around attracting trouble."

And it has been two days after that. Neither Mila nor Sheritt could identify the problem. And so, Sheritt suggested Cale to stay in the Black Castle until he recovers.

But of course on the second day , Sheritt caught Rok Soo talking to Cale about the children.

She immediately inform Ron and the other dragons without letting the two redheads know. As it was a peculiar phenomena that has never happened before since ancient times, she couldn't help but wonder just what made the young master split himself into two and yet both of them seem calm.

When Ron and the dragons arrived, Sheritt explained what she saw and told them it would not be good to call him out. Thus, leading them to spy on him with invisibility magic.

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

Rok Soo was sitting on his bed. He just woke up but he can still feel his head going round and round like the aftereffect of riding a rollercoaster.

In these two days, Choi Han would occasionally come to visit and Ron would chase him out saying that a butler should be the one taking care of their master. The children would play in his bedroom for a little while before going for their training.

It all seems peaceful but it couldn't shake away his anxiety.

How long has it been over there? Is mother save? She must be very worried and lost. Did I accidentally died over there? If so, then what about Cale?

But he could not think much of it as his body is burning up.

"This weak ass body...."

"Hoo, now you know how I feel?"

Rok Soo glance at his side, the man in the mirror rarely talked these days as if he does not want to disturb his rest (he's afraid of getting caught). 

"The children are playing outside."

"I see."

Rok Soo knew how overprotective the people around him could be. He experienced it in these few days and he couldn't help being flabbergasted. The children help him change the towels from time to time, Eruhaben forbids him from going out of his room, Ron personally feeding him every meal and Choi Han guarding the door like his life depends on it.

Just then, Raon flew in with a communication device on his paws. He paused for a moment while looking around the room but gave the device to Rok Soo anyway.

He received a few calls from people he doesn't know but it looks like Cale's acquaintances so he answered all of them. He nearly fainted when he saw important figures from all over the world expressing their concern for him.

'Seriously Cale, what the fxxk!'

The line goes on and on until he nearly threw the communication device on the floor when he saw a certain guardian of the Paerun Kingdom, looking at him with shaky eyes.

'Why is this piece of shit here?'

Rok Soo remembered the day his family died. How the Henituse household got demolished. The heroes were unable to defeat the guardian knights of the north as they were not prepared for an air invasion. The people screaming and running in terror, thunderous noises and pure chaos.

'Those stupid wyverns, a bastard that ruins the lives of others just to pave a road to become his whatsoever legend.' 

He remembered how Hilsman died protecting him. The anger in Choi Han's eyes when he found out a trash survived instead.

At the end of it, Rain city could no longer be called as a city anymore. There were only dilapidated buildings, ashes, fire that has yet to be put out and body parts of the people.

But what can he do? A powerless trash that can only watch as his family and his people slaughtered and burned down in flames. His home, gone forever.

"We tortured him a little and planted bombs on his limps. But we can't bring back his sanity."

Cale only shrugged his shoulder and did not explain more. Indicating that he doesn't want to talk about it.

'Vicious... Though I'm quite happy about it?' Rok Soo thought to himself with goosebumps all over his skin.

"I'm really jealous of you Cale. I wonder if I could be like you if I knew what would have happened. But then again if I do I wouldn't have met you, nor her."

Cale could only look at Rok Soo with a contemplating gaze. He wanted to give him a pat on the back but he couldn't. Cale knew what Rok Soo has been through but words were stuck in his throat.

"Though I'm not as crazy as you are."

"How many times must I tell you that the crazy ones are those around me, not me..."

Cale mumbled before looking away. Rok Soo didn't care much about it as he got out of his bed.

Raon glance at the two nervously, Cale realize that Raon has been fidgeting his paws ever since coming into the room. 

"Raon, what's wrong?" , Cale asked in a gentle tone. 

Raon knew that his human would rarely get angry with him but he couldn't help being a little nervous. 

When he entered the room, he saw the old butler together with his mother and the other dragons. He gulped down his saliva and tried to tell Rok Soo about it but Eruhaben was faster.

-If you don't tell Cale we are here, we will ask Beacrox to bake you more apple pies tomorrow.

Eruhaben watched the young dragon as he transmitted his message into Raon's head.

And so...Raon chose apple pies over Cale.

That leads to our situation over here.

The invincibility magic was taken off and all of them stared at Rok Soo and Cale. Raon hurriedly turned invisible and sneak out of the room to meet with the kittens.

"Care to explain, young master-nim?"

The old butler had his benign smile but there was a rather terrifying killing intent in the room.

'.....I'm so dead.'

'...No, we are so dead.' 

A/N: Tbh I have never tried apple pie before, I wonder how it taste like(^o^)
