Malsun protecting Soonja (Yeonbin) / (말순, 순자를 지킬거야)

Extra l (Part 02)

When Soobin opened his eyes, he discovered himself on a bed with a totally unfamiliar surrounding. The room was bright enough. It was also huge and decorated with nice furniture. Although Soobin didn't know where he was, this place felt just like his palace. He sat down and tried to remember what happened before he passed out. And he recalled fighting with an assassin, but his face flushed red when he was reminded of the sudden kiss from him.

At that time the kidnapper entered with a glass of water and some cut fruits.

"Y-you! Who are you? And how did you bring me here? Why?" Soobin stood up and only then he noticed the metal chain on his leg.

"Of course to seek revenge." he smiled. Surprisingly, he looked gorgeous when he smiled. Soobin remembered the kiss once again and turned his head to the other side while blushing.

"But, I don't think I did anything..." Soobin mumbled.

"Your father did. He destroyed my hometown, my family, everyone from my clan." He sighed, his voice was heavy. Then he raised his voice and looked at Soobin angrily, "Now, I'll do the same to him."

"If you do the same, then...what's the difference between my father and you? I know he isn't a good guy. His greed sometimes makes him a monster. Do you know how many times I begged him not to mercilessly kill people just to win some lands?" Soobin gazed at the man, his expression warm.

"If you do what you planned, you'll also be a monster like him. Do you want to kill innocent people? Do you want to be called a monster? I think you're a kind person." Soobin gave a very gentle smile which melted the heart of the dragon guy. But, it was true. The thought of being called a monster made his stomach churn.

"Then... what should I do? He needs to be punished. If I let him go, he'll continue slaughtering people just like he did to my whole village. Look, how empty it is now. He didn't pity even a child." His expression was distressed. His eyes filled with tears as he spoke.

"I have an idea." Soobin placed his hand on the dragon guy's shoulder. His warm, gentle, soft touch raised some unknown feelings which the dragon couldn't describe.

"What?" He gazed at Soobin. Although he was curious, he couldn't move his eyes from Soobin's petal-like lips as he described his plans. He wanted to touch them, kiss them again. He subconsciously recalled the kiss and remembered how soft Soobin's lips were. How sweet it could taste if he hadn't drugged him.

"A-are... you sure?! Would this really work?" He asked curiously.

"I guess it would. At least, I know he won't do anything that'd hurt me." Soobin grinned. Seeing his beautiful smile, the dragon guy could feel his heart pounding, as if it'd come out of his chest.

"E-eat them for now. I'll go bring more food for you." He put the fruits in front of Soobin, stuttering all of a sudden.

"Are you hurt? There's blood in here." Soobin gently touched his bandage wrapped arm.

"Ah! Just got hit by an arrow." Yeonjun moved his hand away. He could feel that his face was burning.

"What's your name?" Soobin asked while gobbling the food.

"You can call me Yeonjun." He grinned, untying Soobin's leg, he left the room.

"Sounds cool." A tiny smile portrayed on the edge of Soobin's lips. He kept eating the fruits, staring at the entrance, hoping Yeonjun would come back, but he never returned.

The king arrived with his soldiers. Since they already fought in this village, they knew the way. But, the interior had changed completely. The village was completely empty. No, lives, no builds, nothing. Just a haunted castle stood at the end of the village. Yeonjun heard the noises from inside. He quickly changed his form and became the dragon. This time, he was more powerful as he learned a lot, practiced a lot after losing his loved ones.
