Chapter 64

Author's Pov

Jungkook sighed as he finally got few minutes break from washing and chopping the vegetables. He had no idea that kitchen chores can be so hard. Now he really felt bad for his Yoona noona at home whom worked so hard to feed the three of them.

It was really a good decision that they decided to find jobs. To be honest, Jin was more suitable for these jobs according to the younger male. He liked cooking and helping Yoona noona in the kitchen. But on the other hand, Jungkook really sucked at chopping vegetables.

He wasn't using any dagger or sword, it was just a tiny kitchen knife and instead of enemies, it was those evil onions and potatoes that made his day hella hard than it was. The other women only laughed at the younger as he groaned and cried because of those onions.

He really missed being the King but again he was really enjoying being a normal person for once. It was more free. He felt light and comfortable. Earning the money by the end of the day and getting groceries or drinks for his friends really made him.

He didn't hate being ordered around. It was as if he was gaining something from this experience. Ofcourse he was. Jungkook smiled to himself before looking up at the waiter who was talking to the owner of the restaurant.

"Oh hyung? What's wrong?" Jungkook enquired.

"Oh handsome face, c'mere." The owner gestured him to move closer. "Here, Jihoon got something else to do and can't work for his shift tonight. Are you up to cover for him?"

"Please. . . I'll give you 30 silver coins for it." Jihoon begged. His wife was in labour and he was asked to be there, just in case if something goes wrong.

"Ah sure. And hyung you don't have to pay me. You need those coins more than me- - ACK !" Jungkook yelped in pain when he felt a tight slap on his back. "W-what did I do?"

"Are you saying no to money? What do you think brat? Money grows on tree? You. . . you stop acting like a prince, alright?" The old lady scowled. "If you're working hard you shouldn't refuse the amount you deserve for it."

"I know but he needs them now. . . there's gonna be a new member in his family, ouch." Jungkook scratched his back and started walking out. "I didn't do anything to deserve this. ." he grumbled.

"Ah. . . halmeoni, you're lil harsh on the new kid. Aren't ya?" Jihoon eyed the older lady earning a smack on his back as well. "WHAT DID I DO?"

"Aish. . you are wasting time. Go now go. Your wife must be waiting for you." she smiled, making him nod and rush out. She glanced back at the way Jungkook left. "He's too genuine and kind. I'm afraid. . . he'll get hurt if he continues being so nice to everyone."

"Why are we here?"

"It's one of my duty to make sure that you are eating well. If the emperor will know that I'm not following his orders , I don't know what will happen." Yunjin shook her head as they continued to walk down the crowded street.

"Ah. . . I see." Ara bit her bottom lip as she followed her new lady in waiting. Deja vu. The market area reminded her of the time she was out with Sogum. Ara heaved a soft shaky sigh.
