"Drive slowly.", his loud commanding voice echoed through the car. He looked out the window as they pass by the Main House. A feeling of longing and despair formed very deep within him. He felt a knot on his throat as his breathing became labored; he pulled on the collar of his turtle neck shirt his chest rapidly moving up and down as he struggled to breathe. 

"Sir are you alright?", the driver asked as he looked  at the back seat through his rearview mirror.

"I-I-I-I'm fine. Jus-just k-keep dri-driving", he stuttered not wanting to show any weakness. The pain became unbearable as his whole body began to shake;breaking into a cold sweat. He reached for the button to lower the car window, completely missing it by a few centimeters as he was unable to keep his hand steady. He tried once again this time successfully lowering the entire car window. The cold wind penetrated the entire car as he removed his coat; using it as a pillow he laid down on the back seat. A few tears stained his cheek as the pain increased; he pierced his bottom lip with his teeth as he tried to endure the pain. "D-don't sss-stop driving until I tell you so.". Jonghyun didn't want anyone to see him in this state; they were on the road for about an hour until he order him to stop.  

"We've arrived sir.", the driver said as the car came to a halt. He quickly got out of the car to open the car door for Jonghyun.

Jonghyun cringed in pain as he pushed himself up. The pain was subsiding, as he slowly stumbled out of the car. 

"Would you like your cane sir?", the driver asked as he helped Jonghyun put his coat back on.

"No.". Jonghyun took a deep breath mustering a smile on his face to hide the pain. As he walked towards the hidden house he faintly heard the scattering of footsteps along with muffled voices. Before he opened the gates he took a deep breath; when he entered everyone was kneeling before him except the wretched cat. He scanned the whole premises but he was no where to be seen; his gaze automatically stopped to where Taemin was kneeling. Jonghyun had been hoping that Taemin wasn't present here; a battle started to brewed within his mind, he didn't want to punish Taemin but at the same time he knew he had to. Taemin had never disobeyed his orders, it sadden him that for the first time ever he did; he helped free the cat, and missed school. Jonghyun ordered Taemin to stand; he could tell Taemin was scared by the way he stood and avoided eye contact. He traced a finger along the left side of Taemin face; stopping at the shin propping his head up with his finger, forcing Taemin to look at him. "Why aren't you at school.". 

"Sorry hyung.", he said as his eyes roamed around trying to avoid Jonghyun intense gaze.

A smirk spread across Jonghyun's face as he led out a saw chuckle; he forcefully slapped Taemin with the back of hand causing the younger man to fall into the ground. From the corner of his eye he noticed Minho stood, his jaw clenched as his hand formed a tight fist. Jonghyun made his way to Minho and stood in front of him, their faces inches apart. "Do you want to hit me Minho? Go ahead punch me.".

Minho whole hand trembled as his face started to reddened with what Jonghyun though was rage.

"Jonghyun he didn't mean to. Please forgive him.", Amber pleaded.

Rage started to built within Jonghyun. Everyone of them broke the rules, everyone had helped the wretched cat. That's when he realize he had been far to lenient lately; he felt them all a bit distant, he could tell that the curse was weaking and it was probably all his fault. Jonghyun now knew he had to be more forceful with them, he had to be seen as their god again; not as the weak Jonghyun who was always in the Main house and occasionally ordered them around. "When did I allow you to speak?!", he yelled at Amber.
