ROMAN EMPIRE - SVT FF

21 - OLDER JEON KING

As we got out of the car, I looked around the palace..

It's so Massive..

I saw wonwoo who disappeared into the mansion leaving me behind, however, mingyu walking infront of me..

Atleast someone has the decency to not leave someone on their first visit

We entered inside as mingyu guiding while texting on his phone

"Do you guys hang out here a lot?"
I asked him

"Not really, we usually hang out in the meet up"
He answered

"The meet up?"
I asked him

"Yeah.. our secret hide out"
He says

I wonder why wonwoo didn't mention it

"Why are we here today?"
I asked him

"We gather here if uncle isn't around"
Mingyu answered

"Do you bring girls too?"
I asked him kinda hesitant

"Just yuri and his cousin's girlfriend"
He answered

I gulped as I looked at the space we are walking.. "we grew together so.."
I know he is reassuring me but it still piercing my heart

I remember how he treat yuri, his childhood friend I guess.. if he can easily discard her, how long it could make him to throw me away?

He walked me to the big kitchen "Margo!"
He yells and the woman in her forties turned around

"Who's this?"
She asked him

"This is refi.. the girl who got wonwoo all worked up"
I pinch his hand and he goes "ouch! Damn refi.. I don't know you would be this strong.. are you up for threesome?"

What the-

He didn't expect any funny answers from me, he turned to the woman "chips ready?"

She pointed at the bowl of homemade chips "you are the best!"
He complimented her

"Don't you have your own cook?"
She asked him

"They are not good as you.. the offer still stands you know.. you can come there any time"
Mingyu said as wonwoo walked inside with Vernon

"Stop trying to take Margo away"
Wonwoo spoke as he gave me a unreadable glance..

I hate when he ignore me

"I made the offer first, gyu.. get in line"
Vernon voiced

"Stop it, boys.. don't fight infront of wonwoo's girlfriend.. it's not like he brings her everyday here"
She said as my cheeks heat up

Girlfriend..

We didn't make it official yet.. I looked at wonwoo's reaction, he has his poker face on as always

Boys disappeared around the corner and it's me and Margo who take the trays of snack

"Are you living here for long?"
I started the conversation

"Since wonwoo born.. he is my boy ever since"
Her face soften

"Oh.. I forgot the salt.."
She stopped her steps

"I will go back with you"
I offered.. "no.. go ahead.. they will flip everything away if they don't have snacks before the match"
She walked back alone

Wait.. she forgot to tell me the way.. I looked at my left and to my right.. it's all the long hallway

I hear footsteps..

If it's either of the boys, I will follow them..

I turned to the sound and it's.. wonwoo's older version..

His father..

He has this aggressiveness on his face but it's all vanished for the second as he reach me "hello"
He greeted with his soft voice

"Hello"
I greeted back

"Dad"
We hear wonwoo's detached voice as I was lost in the silence war with his father

".. have fun with your party, son"
He said to him and he nods "will do"

His father gave a small smile as he walk away.. I walked with wonwoo for the remaining walks

"What was that?"
I asked him, knowing there is some weird silence between them too

But I got nothing..

I didn't know I would get a silence treatment from wonwoo..

"Wonwoo?"
I called him but he answers with a harsh glare..

It's the side of wonwoo that always alert me..

"You don't talk to my father"
He started

"I didn't approach him-"

"I don't care about what you did or didn't.. you don't talk to my father.. if you see him, walk in the opposite direction"
He ordered, nearly with a growl

"Why?"
I asked him

"Because I fuvking said so!"
He cursed

"I'm sorry, your majesty.. I didn't know I shouldn't do anything you fuvking said so"
I gave back his energy

"Refi"
His tone calculative and deep

"Tell me why"
I asked him

"This is one of the place where you just nod and don't argue"
He spoke

"Or what?"
I asked him

His turned his gaze to me "I will get Anna drunk and let Vernon take her home"

"No.. you won't"
I was shocked

"Watch me"
He challenged before walking away
