A Servant to the Princes

Chapter I

Yoon Jeonghan yawned and rubbed his eyes trying to stay awake, yet sleep was inviting him. He couldn't afford to doze off right now because he was in the classroom. He looked at the time and see that there was still 20 minutes more till the class end. He sighed and looked around. His classmates were either taking the class seriously or sleeping like the guy behind him named Hyunwoo. He had his eyes and mouth wide open and he was drooling mess. Jeonghan looked at him weirdly, then suddenly he felt his phone vibrates from his pants pocket causing him to jump in surprise. He fished out his phone and read the message.

-Sneak out now.

He gasped, horrified at the message. He kept on reread at the 3 words, thinking 'What should I do!' over and over again then he decided to calm himself down and replied the message.

-Sneak out? What? Are you kidding? I'm in class right now!

With that, Jeonghan locked his phone and put it back in his pocket but a few seconds later, it started to vibrate again and again and again..

His mind was throbbing with anger, teeth gritted and fists clenched. Jeonghan couldn't stand it anymore so he raised his hand and stood up from the chair. The teacher stopped doing whatever he was doing and raised his eyebrow in confusion.

"T-teacher! Umm, my stomach hurts. Can I go to the bathroom?" Jeonghan said while placing his hand on his stomach acting hurt.

"Okay, hurry back though." The teacher replied, believing in his lie.

Jeonghan bowed before exiting the classroom. Once outside, he ran hurriedly out of the school building to the front of the school gate to see the person who kept on sending him messages only a while ago in the classroom. And the person was none other than the youngest of the Choi family. His name was Choi Mingyu, aged 16 and he's considered a rather famous child star.

Mingyu looked at his watch and said, "You just made me wait twenty minutes and fifty seconds. Did you forget that you were supposed to come immediately if I called for you? You just wasted so much of my time."

Jeonghan, who was huffing and puffing after the run, could feel his blood was boiling and he suddenly felt the desire to rip off someone's head.

"How is that my fault?! Didn't I tell you not to message or call me while I'm in class? Do you really think that I'm your servant?!" Jeonghan raised his voice loud but it didn't really affect the tall boy. It only made Mingyu to looked up at Jeonghan with a very dangerously glare darkening his face.

'He's mad! Oh no... Once he gets mad, there's no calming him.' Jeonghan thought, when he saw Mingyu turned around walking away from him.

"M-Mingyu, wait!" Jeonghan shouted after him but he was too late because Mingyu had already stepped out of the school gate.

'What am I going to do?!' He shouted to himself in his head and sighed loudly.

"Jeonghan, let's walk home together." Someone tapped Jeonghan on the shoulder. He turned around to see that it was Lee Miju.

"Ah, Miju.." Jeonghan said walking out of the school gate with Miju following beside him.

"Eh? Your house is in that direction?" She asked.

Jeonghan shook his head and replied, "No, but I need to head to the supermarket to buy some things."

"Supermarket? What are you planning to buy?"

"Hmm.. There's a sale today, So I want to pick up some soy sauce and toilet paper. The prices are really cheap."

"What?!" She stunned for awhile and asked again, "Why are you buying that stuff? What about your mom?"

"Well.. My mom and dad are both very busy, so they don't come home all that often. A lot of the time it's just my brothers and I."

"So you do all the chores in your house?"

"Nah, we have a maid to help out. I just do some housework here and there."

"That's really surprising.."

"Eh? Why?" Jeonghan titled his head in confusion.

"I just always thought that since you're the son of a rich family. You would be living like a prince." Miju said, chuckling.

'What?'

"Well,.. I have to go now, Jeonghan. Bye, see you tomorrow!" Miju waved goodbye and walk down the street. Jeonghan shrugged and headed inside the supermarket. He took a trolley and went to find some supplies. While looking around, he couldn't stop thinking about what Miju said.

'A prince, huh.. Me? I wonder how she would react if she knew I was from an orphanage..'

'Ever since seven years ago..'

Flashback

"No!! Why are you bullying me?! Auntie said that I'm a member of this family too!" Jeonghan screamed, tears rushing down his face. The 3 sons, maybe 2, just looked at Jeonghan boringly while the other one didn't even look up because he was busying himself with reading a newspaper.

"No way. Are you kidding? Aren't you forgetting who you are? Dream on!" The youngest of Choi spoke.

"Yes. We only took you in as a charity case because they begged us to and the orphanage was closing down." The oldest son said, staring at his fingernails.

Then the second oldest son stopped his reading and added, "It was more like foster care. Did you really think you got adopted?"

The poor soul could only stood there with his eyes opened wide.

End of Flashback

'Maybe because of what happened all those years ago, is the reason why I haven't changed my last name to their's yet.'

Jeonghan sighed. After he had all of the supplies he needs, he went to pay and went straight home to start making lunch.
