A Servant to the Princes

Chapter XV

'It's because.. I can't do that to you if you're my brother!' Jeonghan's mouth went agape and his body went into complete shut down after hearing that.

"Uh... um.. Jeonghan?" Seungcheol asked, waving his hand infront of Jeonghan's face. After hearing his name, Jeonghan's face turned blue, "A...ha..." He laughed nervously before he felt his vision go blurry, his body wobble and a minute later, he dropped down to the ground.

"Jeonghan!" Seungcheol shouted. He managed to catch Jeonghan's fall by wrapping his arm protectively around the latter's waist and the other behind his head.

"Jeonghan!" Seungcheol exclaimed, shaking Jeonghan's body while begging him to wake up. After a while of trying, he let out a sigh when Jeonghan still didn't wake up. The next thing he did was to bent down and gave Jeonghan a piggyback ride home.

"Geez, you didn't have to faint. I just thoroughly embarrassed myself."

'Did I tell him too soon?'

.

When they arrived home, Seungcheol went to Jeonghan's bedroom and carefully placed him on his bed before tucking him under the feathery warm blanket. He then stood there for a couple of minutes, thinking of nothing but staring at Jeonghan's peaceful, sleeping face.

"Hurry and grow up, runt." Seungcheol murmured before turning off the light and walked out of the room.

.

Meanwhile, Mingyu was walking around the house when Jeonghan's door was opened slightly, only to see his brother, Seungcheol came out of the room.

"Hyung! Why were you in Jeonghan's room?" He asked, curious at what his brother was doing in the room. In Jeonghan's room.

"No reason." replied Seungcheol lazily.

"Where's Jeonghan?

"In his room, sleeping."

"Then why did you go into his room while he's sleeping?!"

"I just went in to get something from his room."

"Then what did you get from his room?! Because you look really suspicious!"

A vein popped at Seungcheol's head and a dark aura surrounding him. He was getting annoyed with the questions that he punched the wall hard, making the poor Mingyu to jolt in surprise.

"Shut up!" Seungcheol said in a low dangerously voice.

"Stop asking me these stupid questions! I didn't do anything!" He added, pointing his index finger at the startled boy.

"Shit!" He cursed and turned around to walk away. While Mingyu just stood there frowning and dumbfounded by the situation.

'Weird.. Something must have happened!' He thought and looked at the slightly crack wall that his brother just made.

'But I don't want to ask him. He's too scary.'

...

Next morning 

Jeonghan was scrambling around in the kitchen, pulling out fresh ingredients from the fridge when he saw Seungcheol walking in. Jeonghan smiled and greeted him, "You're awake? Good morning!"

"...." Seungcheol looked at him with a quite speechless expression.

"Auntie already left for work. Would you like rice or bread for breakfast?" He asked. "Oops, I forgot that we're out of bread. So rice for breakfast it is then!"
