Destiny's Children

57. The Magician

"You are allowed to come inside", the guard reports to the men waiting outside.

"Okay... let's go", Hyun-seok says, enthusiastic all of a sudden.

Jungkook just decides to follow the weird man without anymore questions, and truth to be told, he has become quite hungry around this time.

They silently walk inside, following the guard, who makes them cross a long hallway towards a very colourful door, which Jungkook later realises to have coloured glass decorated all over it.

The guard then stands aside and announces their presence on the top of his lung to the mystery owner, which Jungkook finds both unnecessary and dramatic. In response the door opens slowly and smoke starts to engulf the entire area.

"Come in", a deep voice comes from inside the room.

Hyun-seok just shakes his head and walks inside, following him Jungkook too takes his steps.

"WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME.... HOW CAN MY PRESENCE BE SERVED FOR YOU?", A dramatic voice booms as soon as they enters the room.

"Well, for starters, my lord can disperse the smoke so that my associate and I can breathe normally", Hyun-seok replies with no humour in his voice.

"Aish... the royal servants never know any fun these days..", the mysterious man curses under his breathe.

"In my understanding, your excellence is a royal servant himself, isn't he?", Hyun-seok asks deadpan.

"Yes... but I am a servant for art first of course", The voice replies, "If I ever have to choose between, I'll always choose art, as there is no greater person then wisdom, not even the royalty itself".

"Great conclusion.. you should say it as an inauguration speech on the day of the coronation.. I have a feeling that everyone will be thrilled..", Hyun-seok says.

"Are you all the way here to insult me guard? The only reason I am tolerating you so far is because of the royal coin that you possessed.. if it's not something of important... I genuinely advise to leave my home at this very moment", The voice harshly replies.

"That's indeed a nicer way to say 'get out'.. but as a matter of fact.. I am actually here to discuss something important", Hyun-seok says to the voice.

While all these talking, Jungkook was trying hard to find the owner of the mystery voice. But with all the smoke around, it was proving to be a very difficult job for him. As the smoke starts to become thinner, he notices a slight silhouette of a man sitting on the sofa. When the annoying smoke is completely gone, he can finally make out of the strange man sitting like some kind of a boss.

The strange 'Lord' has blond hair, which surprises Jungkook a lot. It's not like he hadn't seen anyone with coloured hair, but that was back when he was in the future, he hasn't seen anyone having anything but black hair since he had gone back in time.

He also notices the man wearing a guy-liner, another shocking fact, showing a lot of skin of his torso, wearing a tight corset and thigh-gripping pants. If these aren't enough, he also looks quite drunk, with the fact that he is still holding a glass full of alcohol in one of his hands. His other hand is surprisingly playing with the dress of a lean woman sitting right next, if not almost top of him. There is another woman playing with his hair from another side. Then Jungkook notices other men and women lying in various directions of the room they are currently standing in.

"You had a party last night I see, my lord... celebrating something?", Hyun-seok asks following Jungkook's gaze.

"Is it supposed to be a trick question?", The man laughs, "Why should I need a reason to have some party? I felt like having one... so I had one".
