Jungkook's pov:

"He's one of my escort knight. He's also my maternal cousin, so I won't have to worry about any rumors because of him. There's no one else better suited for this job." Seokjin said with a bright expression.

My displeasure gradually subsided. 'If he's a relative, it's alright.'  When I realized that I was relieved, my expression twisted. 'What does this have to do with me anyway? I just need to learn more about my master's weakness.......' As I recalled my original purpose, Seokjin's defenseless smile came into view.

"Thank you." He said.

His smile was so radiant that the dull ache in my heart was followed by intense pounding. When I became aware of this, I became afraid.

"I'll be going now." I said abruptly. If I stayed any longer, I wasn't sure if I could control myself. When I tried to leave, almost as if I was running away from something, Seokjin called out to me.

"Hey, wait a second!"

Instead of answering, I glared at him fiercely, warning him to not come closer. Strangely, my heart throbbed when he seemed to understand this. Seokjin stared at me calmly and wore the same expression as he did when he saw me through the window today.

He proceeded to place some pouches on the floor before stepping back.

"Take these." He said.

'What?' I checked what was inside and frowned. 'Money? Why is he giving me this?' I was about to throw the pouches back on the floor and tell him I didn't need them, but I suddenly met his kind eyes. His gaze reminded me of the times he had covered me with a blanket and gave me food to eat. I slowly lowered my arm.

"It's not for free. As repayment, you can help me out if I ever need it." He said.

"..."

I had planned to never come back again, but I couldn't bring myself to say that. I slipped the money into my pocket and prepared to leave the room.

"If you have no place to go, you can always come back." He said. "Okay?"

I impulsively nodded upon seeing his warm smile, as if there was an irresistible force controlling me.

Namjoon's pov:

'Sir Jaemin decided to give up after one word from me.....'  Despite the easy obedience from the previous two men I had visited, it was a mistake to think that the last person would be the same.

'So this is the foreign minister's son?' I stared at the young man coldly, drinking tea in front of me but he seemed to be relaxed.

"So, You're warning me to stay away from your son because I don't meet his standards, Your Excellency?"

Although the young man's smiling face was quite handsome, he was still lacking compared to Seokjin's appearance.

"Yes." I said. Despite my straightforward answer, the young man managed to remain calm.

"Well, it's true he's better than all the other ladies and gentlemans."

Although I agreed with him, it didn't mean I approved of him.

"I clearly told you not to approach my son, Lee Taeyong." After giving this final warning, I stood up.

'Now that I think about it, he was also on the marriage list.'  I was determined to revise the very thing that had been bothering me recently and prepared to return home to do so.
