The Sun Proposed to the Moon

In Bed

Cale didn't bother to elaborate further and turned to continue to walk, finally stopping once they reached a large gate.

"Y-young Master!"

"You've returned!"

The guards timidly called out. Such awkwardness and wariness was to be expected when others talked with Cale.

Kim Rok Soo could not decide if it was funny or annoying. Cale had never hit anyone, the worst he did was break a few things but all items were always replaced with something of better quality.

Though the annoyed expression on Cale's face was worth seeing.

"This man..."

"He's with me, move out the way."

They moved instantly when Cale's foot stepped forward and Kim Rok Soo quietly followed. Though the guards let them by one followed a bit far behind. Kim Rok Soo commended the guard's diligence.

Eventually they were inside the mansion, making their way down the long halls. Ron wasn't there which kept Kim Rok Soo from a heart attack. No one dared to approach or greet Cale or Kim Rok Soo, well everyone except his newly assigned butler Hans. He was quickly ordered away the second he came to Cale's side.

Everyone feared Cale.

That was probably why they got to Cale's room so easily.

Too easily in fact.

The Young Master, who was only 18, brought a strange man into the estate.

The young master, who was only 18, brought a strange man into his room.

Alone.

Yet no one cared, even after he'd been gone for 3 days.

Just as Kim Rok Soo closed the door, Cale sat on his bed in one swift yet somehow elegant movement.

He messed with his hair gently, a somehow comfortable silence making itself home in the large room.

Now that he's looking at it.

Kim Rok Soo found Cale's room to be odd. Not that there was anything strange in it but rather it looked too... normal.

It was large, very large in fact but the contents of the room were so... plain. In the novel [The Birth of a Hero] Cale Henituse was described as someone who enjoyed extravagant and expensive things of all kinds. His room should have been an exact replica of such taste but it was not.

The furniture was all made of high quality materials. The highest in fact yet the room looked so plain. There were no luxurious paintings, or elegant colors or even expensive jewels. It was just a large bed, two long lounge chairs and a bookshelf.

It was empty.

That made Kim Rok Soo slightly uncomfortable. He wasn't one to find things uncomfortable if they didn't involve him but this... much like earlier this day, was unsettling to look at.

Kim Rok Soo leaned on the door, keeping it from being opened from the outside and locking Cale in from the inside.

He needed to know just what the hell was going on.

The silence was soon cut from the larger man. "Our conversation from earlier..."

Cale sighed and leaned back onto his bed. "It's as I said." He pulled at the ruffled fabric around his neck, loosening the plain black tie. "I need you."

"Right..."

Cale didn't elaborate further. 'I need you.' That was all.

Kim Rok Soo was free to interpret it anyway that made the most sense. His body? Mind? Maybe his soul. It could be anything at this point. He was just transported into a novel and now this guy was telling him in the most vague way possible what he wanted.
