A Servant to the Princes

Chapter III

*Thud* *Thud*

Jeonghan opened his eyes when he heard the sound outside of his windows.

"Huh? What's the sound?" He mumbled, sitting up while rubbing his tired eyes. Then what he didn't expect was his windows to open very wide and someone jumped in from his windows into his bedroom. He wanted to scream but calmed down when he saw the familiar figure of Choi Seungcheol. He's eighteen years old and the eldest. He's a well known as a troublemaker.

"Seungcheol! How come you're home so late?" Jeonghan gasped.

"Shut up. You're going to wake everyone up." Seungcheol rubbed the back of his neck, ignoring the question.

"Why didn't you come in the front door like a normal person? I thought you were a thief! How late it is?" Jeonghan barked loudly.

Seungcheol scoffed and looked at Jeonghan with his irritated face on, "You're just like a little dog yapping non-stop."

Jeonghan felt the vein in his forehead throbbing. He stood up from his bed and glared at Seungcheol angrily.

"I'm not a dog! Why do you always treat me like I'm one? I have feelings too!" Jeonghan said raising his voice loudly. But before he could say something again, he flinched because Seungcheol had this very scary face and he could see fire in both of Seungcheol's eyes. Seungcheol walked closer to him and he could feel himself getting smaller.

"Are you looking to die, you little runt? Looks like you don't want to live anymore, do you?" Seungcheol said with a dangerous tone. Jeonghan trembled and he quickly went down on his knees and begged, "No, no no! I do want to live! Cat, dog.. You can call me whatever you like!" Jeonghan smiled brightly.

'Did I just have a screw loose in my head or something? I actually yelled at someone as vicious as he is. At school, everyone knows that he's the scariest person around!' His train of thoughts was interrupted when he heard his bedroom's door open.

"Hey runt, I'm hungry." Seungcheol said, stepping out from the bedroom and went down to the kitchen.

"Okay, I'll make something." Jeonghan followed him and went over to the refrigerator and picked out some ingredients.

"And also, don't you dare to tell mom that you saw me come home this late." Seungcheol threatened him.

"Sure, I didn't see a thing."

After Jeonghan has finished cooking, he set the dishes down on the table and went to sit opposite side of Seungcheol.

"What is this? It's all vegetables! Do I look like a rabbit to you?!" Seungcheol fumed, picking up the chopsticks and started to eat.

"But it doesn't taste too bad." He mumbled.

"Eat some more, Seungcheol." Jeonghan smiled awkwardly.

'Ahhh, I'm so pitiful..'

'When will be the day when I can be free of them?'
