Mashiho kept running, his blood boiling, his heart thumping, his legs were getting tired of running

He looked back and saw the three men still chasing him, he cursed under his breath and fastened his speed, he grabbed a wooden stick when he ran across the shop of a carpenter

He ran to a dead end, he looked at the wall before him and curse again, luck just wasn't on his side

He looked at the little bag filled with gold coins and sighed "Well you're worth being fought over"

Mashiho kept the bag in the pocket of his sleeves

"Hey boy, you're hand it over after we beat you up" one of the men said

"You dare not steal from a minister" Another said

Mashiho chuckled "I just did...what are you going to do? Beat me? You must be joking" Mashiho said angering the men

-

"Hahh I thought they would give me a promising fight, too bad" Mashiho said looking at the broken wooden stick, he dusted the sands that were on his cloth, he looked at the unconscious men one last time before walking away

"Mashiho! You're almost late, what if I left before you?!" Hyunsuk yelled banging the table

"I knew you wouldn't, so I went to play a little" Mashiho said smiling as she shook the bag, letting the sound of the coins register in Hyunsuk's ear

"Whatever, we have to go now, we can't go when the wedding starts" Hyunsuk said leaning out of the table, Mashiho stood from his seat and dusted his cloth ready to go

"Oh right...I got this for you, change into it, you're wearing it to the wedding" Hyunsuk said and placed a neatly wrapped hanbok on the table

First thing Mashiho did was to check the quality of the material

"Not bad" he said and the raised the hanbok up and nodded in approval because of the design

"I'll go change inside" Mashiho said and walked across Hyunsuk

"Woah Mashi, I didn't know you were this pretty" Hyunsuk commented looking at Mashiho in the purple hanbok

"I agree, I do look pretty...which is bad, I'm meant to be handsome" Mashiho said brushing his hair backwards

"Mm whatever" Hyunsuk said rolling his eyes

"Help carry some of the boxes into the cart, we have to get going" Hyunsuk said and carried a box and went outside

Mashiho groaned, this was the part he hated when following Hyunsuk to occasions

Mashiho carried two boxes to make things quicker

-

Their cart was stopped at the palace entrance, it was searched and Hyunsuk had to show them the royal invite for them to let them in

"Woah I've actually never been into our kingdom's palace before" Mashiho said with his eyes open

"Mh Use your staring time to unpack the boxes, we have to start cooking" Hyunsuk said making Mashiho groan

Mashiho and Hyunsuk settles in the large kitchen along with other caterers

"Look Mashi, never take your eyes off any of the dishes, one of them would take the chance to poison it and if that happens, we're deadmeat" Hyunsuk whispered into Mashiho's ears

"Yeah yeah I got you" Mashiho said reluctantly

"I want to use the restroom, I'll come back" Hyunsuk said and left, Once Mashiho was sure Hyunsuk had gone far, he brought out his self-made catapult

He brought out stones and aimed at some of the quests coming in, it was fun for him, he would shoot at them and then bend down and peeks at their reaction, he was about to shoot another

but he stopped...

He smirked and immediately turned around and held a hand

A hand holding a white powdery stuff

"What do you think you're doing?" Mashiho asked keeping an intimidating expression

"I- er I'm adding a little salt, it really wasn't tasty" The woman said smiling

Mashiho could tell from her body language and smile that she was lying

"It isn't your food, thank you but we didn't ask for your help" Mashiho said and let go of her hand

"You know what I heard?" Mashiho asked leaning on

"Some people would actually poison your food when you're not looking" He said indirectly to her

"I'm telling you so you would be careful, I'm sure that salt you're holding isn't poison, right?" Mashiho asked smirking

The woman who was rubbing her wrist stopped and looked at Mashiho, unsure of the fact that Mashiho knew she tried to poison Hyunsuk's food

"W-What are you saying? O-Of course not" She stuttered and went back to her food

Mashiho snorted and sat down

"Such a fool" Mashiho called the woman as he looked at the cloth of the powdered poison he had just stolen from her

He poured the powder outside the window and poured some water on the spot

Hyunsuk got back and continued from where he stopped

"Did anyone get close?" Hyunsuk asked

"Yeah a lady did but she only did to complement the aroma" Mashiho lied stretching his catapult. He knew how much Hyunsuk likes to worry so he didn't want him to worry much

"Ah that's good, the servers will soon be here, go stir the soup" Hyunsuk said

-

Once their food got served, they were allowed to leave because they had done their job

"Mashiho pack these boxes, hurry I have to go and open the restaurant" Hyunsuk said dropping a box in a cart he hired

"Mm I forgot something, I'll go back and get it quickly" Mashiho said, Hyunsuk would his words suspicious but he shrugged

"Alright hurry"

-

"What do I take home today" Mashiho muttered mixing in the crowd

He saw a golden small statue, he looked around and quickly put it into his sleeves

"That would be hell expensive" Mashiho muttered

He looked over to the gift rack, he smirked

He made sure people were around him, he took little but expensive things into his sleeves, he took a lot of coin bags there, he sure was a first-class thief

He turned to go but had a contact with a pair of eyes

He didn't recognise the person as the prince of his kingdom, he forced a smile and turned

"Woah he dares to steal in the palace and isn't even scared because I caught him" Prince Jihoon said looking at Mashiho who kept taking things each spot he went to

"I'll let him go, I wouldn't want to create a commotion at sister's wedding plus...he's good looking" Jihoon muttered smiling

Jihoon's smile faded when he saw the guards start to chase him

"Well, he's dead for sure" Jihoon said and got back inside the royal chamber

-

"Hyung, go without me, hurry before they see you with me" Mashiho said panting, before Hyunsuk could talk, he ran away

"Where does he think– oh my-
Hyunsuk's eyes widened when he saw the royal guards chasing after him

"That boy's going to get killed for sure"
