Two boys stood in the hall of their house listening to their mother's bickering. Youngest of them badly wanted to argue whereas the elder one just kept nodding at their mom.
"No sneaking around. Just stay inside the house like good boys. If I see you both outside, I will cut your food for tonight."
"Okay mother." The boys said in union and their mom finally left the house. The younger started whining.
"This is so unfair hyung. I want to go city too."
"Jihyun-ah, you know why we can't go there all the time. We'll be humiliated again."
"But you always sneak out to that lake Jimin hyung."
"And that's because I've got cats to feed their and there's no people there. "
Jihyun mimicked Jimin's voice which received a smack on his head. Their family wasn't normal like others. They didn't have a father. He died in a war long back which led her mom to be a widow and widows were looked down in the city. They should always wear white clothes and make themselves stay away from other citizens. They weren't even allowed to enter the city unless it's for food or clothes. People humiliated them and their children too. They were staying in the out skirts of the city with like 4-5 neighbors who had the same problem. But Jimin's and Jihyun's mother always went out in the morning and came back at night with good money with her. Her sons didn't question it as they were being raised fine. Jimin spoke.
"I should go to the grandmother to take cat food. I will came back within evening. Now help me sneak out."
"What if the king sees you hyung?"
"How can he even? He just visited the city yesterday. He won't come today. Now help me out. I didn't feed those cats yesterday too."
Two boys went towards their backyard. The wall wasn't much tall. It was in normal size. Jihyun held Jimin on his shoulders and made him sit on the top. On the other side, as expected his friend Kim Taehyung stood to help Jimin come down. Taehyung had similar background to Jimin but his father was killed and his elder brother was taken away by the murderers few years ago. Taehyung spoke.
"I guess I will be late today Jimin-ah. You need to take some other's help to climb you back up at the evening."
"Ah I see. That's fine Tae. But why are you gonna be late today?"
"It's the training. Today is the selection day. I hope I get selected as a soldier. It pays a lot and I can take care of my mother and grandmother."
"Well then, all the best Tae. You will be selected."
"Thanks Jimin-ah. I will go now. Bye."
Taehyung sprinted off. Jimin just smiled at his best friend. Suddenly it turned into a sad one. Every boys in the kingdom were sent to training and so did was his brother, Jihyun. His brother was just 19 still so he there wasn't any selection. Taehyung and Jimin were of same age, 20. But Jimin wasn't sent into training. His mother always treasured him. She pampered him since childhood which made him turn into a delicate boy other than other boys.
He had complexion as fair as moon and his body proportion was no less compared to women. He doll like face and his eyes which would turn into crescent moon whenever he would smile. He cute button nose and plump lips were to die for. It can be said that he was completely like his mom and Jihyun was like their dad. He could even make people fight for him. That's how beautiful he was which led his mother to hide him from the actual cruel world. She was afraid that the king would see him and take him.
Jimin walked to Taehyung's house to be greeted by his grandmother at the front door. The grandmother spoke with a smile.
"Hello Jimin-ah."
Jimin bowed with a same smile and replied.
"Greetings, grandmother. Is the basket ready?"
"Yes it is. It's filled with cat food. It's quite more than last time."
"That's fine. I think they are very hungry as I didn't feed them yesterday."
"I think so too. But Jimin-ah, I think you should stop sneaking out and ask permission for your mom to let you go to the lake."
"Oh no grandmother. You know how she would react it. She would definitely ground me if she finds out about this."
"Oh forget it. I can't even argue with you and Taehyung."
Jimin just smiled at her words and hugged her bidding goodbye. He never believed that the forest was haunted. He found the lake one day when he was running away from his mother. He then fell in love with the nature and found the lake. Since then he has been coming here without his mother knowing. He reached the lake soon and sat down near the shore. He looked around not finding the cats. He mimicked their sound and soon they ran into them. It was mother cat with her 4 kittens. Jimin smiled and started feeding them.
"You must be very hungry as I didn't feed you yesterday. You can eat as much as you want today."
Soon the they ate the food and it wasn't much. Jimin frowned at them and then thought maybe they ate somewhere yesterday. He decided to sing thinking that the kittens would sleep now. He started singing and soon butterflies and birds were flying around. The place looked so at peace and Jimin liked. Just then, a sound was heard which made Jimin stop singing. The kittens woke up and so did the cat. They all looked behind him and ran away so did the birds. Jimin was now scared. Thinking it would be some thief or a ghost which he didn't actually believed in. He let out a sigh when that person started speaking.
"Excuse me? Why did you sto-"
Jimin turned around finding a man standing. He looked up to his eyes. And damn those eyes. It captivated Jimin as soon as he looked at him. He had a big doe eyes, a sharp jawline and thin lips which literally made Jimin drool but he didn't.
Jimin knew that he would be damned now.
