The King and The Peasant

About Him

Is it love or lust? 

Last night he's just done it with Sungwoon and it's not like him at all.

He cares about him. 

Daniel did and it feels so unreal.It's because he actually didn't do it with him and he asks him if he is alright in the morning. 

He did one night stands. Almost every night with every single ladies. He loves it. No string attaches. Just do what is feel so great, enjoy the night, and just leave the hotel in the morning. Even sometimes Daniel doesn't remember her name or who is she at all. Well you know, it just to have sex and fulfill his and her lust appetite.

So, asking if whether Sungwoon is alright or not is not in his agenda. Caresses his hair while he is hiding under the blanket, only his eyes shows looking at him, and Daniel finds it very cute as he smiles. He just nods and

And for some reason, he is happy when Sungwoon smiles at him behind his blanket and Daniel kisses him before he goes to work in the lawn this morning. 

"Hei, City Boy! Help me!" Sungwoon's grandfather calls him. They need to maintain the water flow with the pump in the middle of the lawn, it took almost 20 minutes to walk to the water hut. "Pull the lever to the other side!" 

Daniel grabs the level and pulls it as hard as possible and the water starts to flow hard again. Summer like this, Sungwoon's grandfather must make sure to have good water flow for his lawn.

Some of the plans need great water amount for them to survive. Last night the water flow is a little bit to slow and they need to check the pump first. The pipe is a little bit clogged by the mud, they need to clean it.

Now it's normal again. The water runs smoothly to the lawn and they can just rest for now. They need to take a bath again since the mud covered all their body.

"OK. We can go back for now." Sungwoon's grandfather says and smiles to Daniel who sits on the ground. "You look dumb but you have power!"

It's an insult but Daniel must endure it since he is kind of a dumb in this industry. Revokes the grass, hoes the grounds, harvests the vegetables, or even moving the sacks of fertilizer. That's not what Daniel wants to be, a farmer. He is business man.

The smell of wet ground, the sun is already up in the sky, and the wind sways the grasses. Daniel doesn't think it's a bad at all to enjoy this kind of life. Away from city and enjoys this rural area life.

Daniel and Sungwoon's grandfather walk back to the house as a black SUV comes to their road. It's they again. 

"It's them again." Sungwoon's grandfather flicks his tongue and walks to the house faster. 

The old man and his bodyguard with black suit. They smile and says his greet to Sungwoon's grandfather but he ignores them as he walks to the house with Daniel follows him behind.

"Hey! Old man, you better sign it quickly!" The old man tries to intimidate Sungwoon's grandfather but he keeps walking. For a reason, this old man and his body guard are familiar to him. It's maybe because he is already seeing them a few time. 

"I don't sell this land! GO! Don't step on my property!" Sungwoon's grandfather shouts and looks at them in angry. The old man and his body guard moves back a little. 

"You are so stupid, old man! You better sell this land before you die and let your grandchild live a good life with the money! His parents are dead already! He'll be blessed with a lot of money before you die!" The old man shout nonsense and makes Sungwoon's grandfather triggered. Daniel puts his hand on Sungwoon's grandfather as he tries to stop this stupid conversation. 

"Sir, do you know that right not you are a trespasser and I can sue you because of that?" Daniel calmly says and smiles to the old man and the bodyguard. 

"Wha--? Who are you?" The old man shout at Daniel. 

"I'm just a mere business man trapped in this mountain area." 

"Another foolish man. So he hires you to protect him?" The old man points at Sungwoon's grandfather's face. 

"No. It's the other way around but I guess you are not listening to me." Daniel grabs the old man's hand and twists them a little. He groans in pain before his bodyguard comes forward to protect him. "It's what you get if you comes to this area and bother them again." 

"You'll remember this!" The old man says and gets in to the car as they leave them alone. 

Daniel waves them goodbye in smile. "He means 'he'll remember this.'" 

Sungwoon's grandfather sighs and suddenly pants hard as he tries to breath. Daniel looks at him and holds him before he falls to the ground. 

"Old man, are you ok?" Daniel starts to worries about him. 

"I'm OK..." Sungwoon's grandfather clenches his T-shirt around his chest and he groans in pain. He pulls out a bottle full of pills from his pocket, Daniel helps him to open the bottle and gets the pills inside. 

After a while, Sungwoon's grandfather calms a little and they rest on the small hut near them. 

"Don't tell Sungwoon about this." Sungwoon's grandfather says and he lays down on the bench. Daniel stands near him. 

Somehow this words, it's familiar with what's Sungwoon said before. They really similar to each other. 

"About what?" Daniel asks. 

"You stupid city boy! Of course about them!" Sungwoon's grandfather sits and shouts but he feels tired again as he lays down again. 

"Then I can say about this heart attack to him?" 

"No! Don't!" Sungwoon's grandfather refuses the idea. Daniel smirks as he sits on the ground, leans his body to the bench. 

"So I can't tell him anything about today?" Daniel asks again. 

"Yes. Just shut it." Sungwoon's grandfather gives the reason. "He will cry out loud." 

"Even if I don't like you, I will cry when you die, old man." Daniel smiles. 

SMACK! 

Sungwoon's grandfather slaps Daniel's head. "I'm not dead yet and I don't need your sympathy." He sits on the bench and looks outside where the river is flowing as the sun ray reflects on the water. "Sungwoon will be alone if I die." 

"His parents?" Daniel frowns as he looks at Sungwoon's grandfather. 

"They are dead when Sungwoon was 13 years old." 

---------------------------------

The night is now covered the area as Sungwoon prepares some dishes on the table for dinner. Daniel just comes out from the bathroom with his wet hair and he wipes it with the towel. Sungwoon's grandfather are out from the house to meet with his friends and tonight he will sleep over in his friend's house. 

Daniel sighs and smiles. Sungwoon's grandfather won't die easily if he has this spirit. After a long work at the lawn and now he is going with his friends to enjoy the night. 

"What are you cooking?" Daniel goes to the kitchen and Sungwoon almost done with his cooking. 

"Just a simple meal." Sungwoon puts his cooks on the plate. 

"I love fried chicken." Daniel looks at the table and grabs one piece of the chicken and eats it. 

"Hey! Don't." Sungwoon pouts as he puts the pan back to the stove. 

"It's good, hyung." Daniel smiles and hugs Sungwoon from behind. Sungwoon looks up and smiles. 

"Of course, it's good." Sungwoon leans his head to Daniel's chest. "Let's eat?"

Daniel smiles and nods. They sits on the dining table besides the kitchen but then a ring on the door is ringing. Someone is here. 

Sungwoon walks to the door and opens it. 

"Good afternoon, sir. I'm Ong Seongwoo. Did you happen pick a person named Kang Daniel?"
