The Sun Proposed to the Moon

Sorry, I'm Taken

The group left the shop and headed back to the Henituse family's temporary residence. They got odd looks as they traveled through the capital streets. Cale had made an emergency stop by a popular cafe and bought a strawberry cake for Arthur who enjoyed it on the go.

The gates of the Henituse residence opened slowly as Cale showed up with a strange man who looked a lot like him.

"Young master, this is...?"

"My maternal uncle. He's come to greet me during my visit to the capital. Is there something wrong with that?"

Cale may have been making an attempt at being trashy, in the eyes of all who saw it he looked like someone who missed his family. The guard shook his head, a red tinge appeared on his face which made Rok Soo glare at him.

They walked through the gates and into the estate. Many servants looked at them curiously, some smiling as Cale passed. The younger redhead was standing squashed between the two other men, leaning against Kim Rok Soo while simultaneously holding onto the sleeve of Arthur.

He was pouting, almost like an upset child who was hugging their favorite toy while needing to be close to their caregiver.

Cale didn't want Arthur to disappear again.

Hans appeared in the hall and quickly approached the group. They could see his steps faltering before he finally stopped in front of them. His eyes were dead locked on Arthur.

"Hi fluffy, how are you?"

Kim Rok Soo's head turned slowly as Arthur spoke to Hans with such a childish tone. To not only his shock and confusion Hans looked at the man with such an incredulous expression that even he was surprised to see it. And Hans practically hated him.

Cale on the other hand found the situation both amusing and normal. He smirked at Hans' expression and the way Arthur had grinned.

So clearly there was something Kim Rok Soo has not been told. Like how he was entirely unsure of who had been running Arthur's shop while he was out of commission for six years.

"He's not dead?" Hans looked genuinely surprised at the revelation and looked at Cale with even more shock.

It was clear to Rok Soo the second Hans spoke up to Cale that the ginger butler might actually hate anyone close to Cale who wasn't him.

"No, apparently not." Cale shrugged.

Okay, what the fuck?

"So he's just been...alive?" Hans asked immediately after. The two were having a conversation while the topic was right in front of them.

"Yes," Cale answered.

"And we're not angry about this?"

"No, turns out it wasn't his fault." Cale shrugged again and Hans nodded in understanding.

Kim Rok Soo raised a brow at the two. Cale was so nonchalant and Hans always went along with whatever Cale said. Well, most of the time anyway.

"Okay, I'll have the chefs prepare a strawberry sorbet."

The two redheads seemed pleased at the idea of a strawberry sorbet and Rok Soo couldn't disagree with that. He wanted a sweet treat too.

"Bring some tea too, thanks."

"Of course, Sir. Kim Rok Soo."

Hans was being respectful? Oh dear.

The butler soon walked away to tend to the tasks he'd been given. While Cale began walking away to a separate room, both Arthur and Rok Soo followed behind.
