"Why."
Mingi was shaken up, his lip was bleeding from Jongho punching him, and he had multiple bruises forming on the side of his face. He was sitting on the floor, and looking down to his hands. The head servant didn't like to see his friend like this, none the less he had to. He wasn't only asking as the head servant but also as his friend.
A couple of hours ago they were having fun, and joking around. Scarlett herself was standing off to the side, just curious on why Mingi did such a thing. What was he even trying to do? Jongho was standing next to the female and kept on making sure she was okay. It warmed the brunettes heart that he cared, but she assured him that she was just shaken up.
"Mingi, I need you to answer. Why were you in HyeLin's room?" The younger male couldn't look at the blonde. He felt ashamed qof himself and didn't want to confess out of embarrassment. The four of them were in one of the lounges downstairs, it had more space then the other lounge.
"I.." Mingi couldn't find his words, he kept on stuggling to even speak. "There was this man. He came to me about a week ago." His voice was soft, not the deep one that could catch anyone's attention in an instant.
"He told me that I needed to get HyeLin to him." Scarlett looked down, was she that bad? Not herself but HyeLin? She didn't like that the person she was now had such a bad reputation. "He knows about my family, Joong. He knows where they live, everything down to their names."
Scarlett looked at Jongho then at Hongjoong, both just as speechless as her. She slowly moved from the wall and to the male on the floor. She kneeled down and cupped the side of his face. He flinched at first, but soon leaned into her touch as he was now crying.
She moved her hand from his face to his back as she brought him into a hug. Mingi hesitated, not knowing what to do. He slowly brought up one of his hands and wrapped it around the girl. His touch a lot gentler now, as if she was made out of porcelain. The blonde behind her was still in the middle of processing everything as the two were now in a embrace.

"I don't want to be alone, tonight." She confessed to Hongjoong as they walked together to their rooms. She was still a bit shaken up from what happened that night, despite the fact that it was somewhat resolved quickly. She felt uneasy.
"I feel uneasy thinking of being back in my room." Hongjoong nodded, noticing that he hasn't spoken much at all the female stopped walking. The older sighed and stopped as well. He turned his body to Scarlett.
"What's wrong, Joong?" He looked like something was bothering him, like he had something on his mind. Maybe he felt bad for Mingi? Was the first thought that came to the brunette. He was looking down to the wooden floor.
"Tomorrow morning, Prince Yunho arrives. It's up to you what happens to, Song Mingi. You need to decide before the prince arrives." He spoke, in a smaller tone then usual, for the first time all night. Scarlett nodded, feeling a sudden weight on her mentally. She was the one who had to decide what will happen to Mingi.
